Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 418: Enemies from both sides
Lin Jiang's expression stiffened slightly when he saw the donkey's head.

Although he was mentally prepared before coming, knowing that Donkey Head was likely to bring people looking for him, Lin Jiang never expected that he would run into him at this critical moment.

Wouldn't that leave us vulnerable to being attacked from both sides?
The man leading the group with the donkey-head hair clearly didn't know Lin Jiang's background, but seeing that Lin Jiang and his group looked refined and cultured, he didn't make a move for the time being.

He simply stared warily at Lin Jiang and asked loudly:
"Friends, I am Li Fuqi, the consul of the Dust Kingdom. Are you gentlemen from Daxing?"

His Daxing dialect has a slight accent, but his pronunciation is clear and easy to understand.

Seeing that the other party did not make a move immediately, Lin Jiang's mind started working quickly.

Judging from his words, he did not know me.

He was not Donkey Head's subordinate, but rather a partner. After Donkey Head left the large kingdom, he sought out this important minister of the Dust Kingdom, intending to win him over.

That is,

At this moment, if we can explain the current situation in just a few words, we might be able to forcibly rally this group of people to the same side!

So Lin Jiang didn't hesitate and spoke directly:
"There's a monster ahead. It's a celestial being from a sacred mountain. She's created countless incarnations and is probably insane. She's chasing us."

"what?"

Li Fuqi was also taken aback.

The donkey-headed man on the side took a step forward, about to speak, when he suddenly saw the long corridor behind Lin Jiang and the others.

Everyone could clearly see a nearly dissipated cloud of blood mist swirling in the corridor.

The moment their gaze swept over it, the entire blood mist vanished, and behind it, a large group of figures surged forward like a tidal wave.

Most of Li Jinyue's incarnations have distorted and insane faces, and many have severely deformed limbs and bodies.

As they surged forth like a tidal wave, some were even trampled underfoot and crushed into a pile of minced meat, from which new bodies grew anew.

From within this collapsed flesh and blood, strangely, it spreads outward, giving rise to various aquatic creatures floating in the air.

There are common fish that can be seen in rivers, as well as strangely shaped deep-sea fish.

Lin Jiang sniffed, and a strong, fishy stench hit him.

This isn't the smell of seawater and rotten fish, but rather...

An aura of calamity.

At that moment, Lin Jiang suddenly realized what was happening.

Why is it shaped like a fish?
Perhaps it's because of the calamity hidden deep underground.

However, this discovery could not change their situation; even if these fish turned into beasts, they would still be a sea of ​​blood.

At this moment, Li Fuqi's expression also became serious.

At a single glance, Lin Jiang's words were clearly corroborated.

After all, compared to a group of distorted, fleshy monsters, those who appear normal and can communicate are more likely to be trusted.

A thought flashed through Li Fuqi's mind, but he ultimately decided that it would be too foolish to fight Lin Jiang and the others now.

So he pointed directly at the "wave" in front of him:
"Fight them back!"

The man with the donkey head next to him froze for a moment after seeing this, and finally just silently retreated to the back of the crowd.

The group that Li Fuqi brought this time consisted entirely of top elites, and immediately a pair of brothers-like figures took turns attacking.

The first of the two was dressed in a Taoist robe and had long hair, but was holding Buddhist prayer beads. The other had a shaved head, was dressed in a monk's robe, but was holding a whisk.

The Taoist priest chanted the Buddhist mantra "Amitabha," and the monk recited the profound words of the Infinite Heavenly Venerable. The completely opposite teachings emanated from their bodies, yet blended together perfectly.

The entire surrounding space was quickly enveloped in a hazy light, and the sounds of discussions and debates filled everyone's ears.

The vanguard team, having fallen into this area, were all scrambling haphazardly on the ground.

Several of them tried to stand up, but remained frozen in place, unable to move their arms or legs, as if being pulled by invisible thin ropes.

Lin Jiang could sense that the two of them were using an illusionary realm, but this illusionary realm did not change the surrounding environment.

The two who released the technique exchanged a glance and looked at each other in bewilderment.

"It's failed?" Li Fuqi frowned. "Why can't I see your realm around here?"

"No." The monk who looked like a Taoist shook his head in confusion. "As expected of a sacred mountain, the surrounding buildings seem to be able to suppress the illusory realm."

Seeing that the other side was being held back, Lin Jiang immediately led his men to retreat.

Several fish lunged at him, and Lin Jiang stared at them in silence for a moment.

This thing,
Can you eat?
Logically speaking, this should also be considered a method of practice.

Logically speaking, is it edible?

Lin Jiang couldn't help but glance at Li Jinyue, who was still dividing, and saw that things resembling marine creatures were emerging from her flesh and blood. He immediately suppressed the thought.

You should be kinder to yourself.

I'm not a trash can.

If you actually eat these things, your stomach and intestines will probably never be clean again.

He simply said to Li Fuqi:
"Be very careful, these things are quite powerful."

“They are exceptionally skilled, and the men I brought with me are also exceptionally skilled.”

Li Fuqi gave a cold snort, not taking the twisted monsters in front of him seriously at all.

Unfortunately, before the last syllable of the word "Fan" in his mouth could dissipate, the unexpected change occurred.

From the depths of the sea of ​​blood, a beautiful woman slowly emerged, her gaze fixed straight ahead.

"My lord, why run away? Wouldn't it be wonderful to stay here and enjoy the company of my beautiful women?"

She reached out and gently tapped in Lin Jiang's direction. A few wisps of mist gushed from her fingertips.

The mist, like a snake, meandered into the hall.

In an instant, a piercing tearing sound rang out from nowhere, and the surrounding discussions of scriptures and doctrines came to an abrupt halt; the Taoist monk's face turned deathly pale, and a metallic taste rose in his throat; the whisk in the other man's hand exploded with a "crack," and the wisps flew up like tattered cotton.

"An illusory realm? No... wait, I've never seen such a method before!"

The Taoist monk wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his tone hesitant.

Unfortunately, the current situation leaves them no room for reaction.

At the forefront of the blood wave, several avatars with their limbs bent backwards suddenly opened their mouths, their jaws torn apart, spewing out jellyfish-like creatures from their mouths and abdomens, carrying a strong, calamistic, and pungent wind that shot straight at the crowd!
At the very front, a burly man from the Dust Kingdom swung his sword, the steel blade cleaving the fish's body, the edge digging deep inside, severing it completely. The blow was powerful and heavy, shaking the ground and causing the surrounding area to tremble.

"Hey!" The burly man grinned and growled. He had no reservations with this strike, which would normally be able to split a small mountain in two, but here the power was completely dissipated by the surroundings.

Such a martial artist couldn't unleash even the slightest bit of power, which was incredibly frustrating.

and,

The fish didn't die.

Although the fish had been cut in half, it was not dead at all. As soon as its gills opened, putrid water mixed with black smoke sprayed all over its head and face, and its flesh sizzled and rotted to the bone in an instant!

The burly man staggered back several steps, his facial skin sometimes healing and sometimes rotting, his eyeballs falling out and then growing back, and his tongue struggling between decay and growth.

"There's...disorder...there's..."

His words became completely incoherent, so Li Fuqi had no choice but to pull him to his side.

"How did you deal with this thing before?!"

Li Fuqi knew that his men were highly skilled and their lives were not in danger, but even he was at a disadvantage in the first encounter. He felt extremely troubled and could only repeatedly ask Lin Jiang and the others behind him.

"Change its inner self, cultivate its true nature; otherwise, it cannot be killed."

King Qi shouted a couple of times from the side, then took out the small club from his bosom and struck the fish in front of him.

The fish he struck instantly turned into grilled fish, crashed to the ground, and lay motionless.

Li Fuqi frowned.

He does indeed possess similar magical artifacts, and he also has highly skilled subordinates.

Can……

He did not bring it this time.

These methods are indeed very effective when dealing with unique enemies, but if the opponent's cultivation level is high enough, they can easily neutralize these techniques with their own Qi.

There are very few occasions where it can be used.

After a moment's thought,

Finally, with a wave of his hand:
"Retreat first!"

Since things have come to this, what's the point of fighting anymore!
In addition, local authorities suppress the Dharma, so a direct confrontation would definitely result in losses!

Although Li Fuqi desperately desired the treasures in the mountains, even the finest treasures require a certain lifespan to enjoy.

Right now, saving your life is the most important thing.

The group immediately huddled together and retreated in an orderly fashion.

Seeing the fish about to catch up, Lin Jiang suddenly gathered his inner energy and exhaled it towards the fish. The powerful energy dispersed upon contact with the fish, causing them to scatter like the receding tide.

Unfortunately, the enemy forces were simply too numerous, and even Lin Jiang could not stop the pursuers.

From afar, Li Jinyue keenly caught the surging breath from Lin Jiang's mouth. Her brows furrowed abruptly, and a cold snort escaped her nostrils.
"Your method of cultivation is nothing short of a scourge to the world. It seems those scoundrels have already taught you many harmful methods. Therefore, today we must kill you first!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiang's mouth didn't stop talking at all:

“I practiced the Dharma to ward off disasters and saved countless people. It was an extremely good deed, but you turned it into something completely different in your mouth.”

Upon hearing this, Li Jinyue's face darkened. Seemingly too lazy to continue talking to Lin Jiang, she swiftly pointed her slender finger in Lin Jiang's direction.

A sharp, milky-white light shot out from her fingertips, aiming straight for Lin Jiang's face!
A sudden sense of danger washed over Lin Jiang, and he quickly dodged to the side. The beam of light grazed his temple, severing several strands of hair.

Where the light streak passed, Lin Jiang clearly sensed that it was filled with a vast, primordial fog.

This mist can be manipulated in such a way?
He secretly made a note of it, but had no time to delve into it at the moment, and could only retreat hastily with the others.

Several more "Freedom" projectiles were thrown out, and the resulting craters instantly halted the pursuing troops.

Finally, they got a break to evacuate, and the group of people retreated in an orderly manner towards the outer platform.

Before long, they arrived at the wide platform.

Lin Jiang had just breathed a sigh of relief when he suddenly heard a muffled sound behind him.

This sound...

It seems to be coming from the direction of the stairs.

A rather ominous premonition arose in Lin Jiang's heart.

Almost subconsciously, I turned around to look.

He suddenly realized that the statues on the stairs behind him, which had been completely still before, were now floating towards the top of the mountain.

They looked menacing.

Directly below the statue, a figure Lin Jiang had seen before was running frantically.

That is……

No more parting!
