Junior sister, I really need to control you

If the insect cloud leads to the "betrayal" of Shouyi Temple, then the blood oath will be triggered.

Therefore, upon realizing Li Yinsheng's intentions, Chongyun was immediately alarmed and even went so far as to activate her natal Gu.

This natal Gu is a technique possessed by all True Persons of Thousand Insect Valley. It is nurtured within the body year-round and has many wondrous uses, including merging with its master in times of crisis, temporarily greatly enhancing cultivation, and granting a powerful physique equivalent to half a physical cultivator.

However, each time the natal Gu is used, it will reduce the lifespan and cultivation level of both the cultivator and the natal Gu.

"You... despicable and shameless array cultivator! Wait till I get out, and let's see what arrays you still have left to use! I'll tear you apart alive!"

The insect cloud struggled within the trapped formation, like a small insect in pine resin, but its bright red eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Previously, he was wary of Li Yinsheng only because the other party had unleashed dozens of extremely powerful sword lights in one go, leading him to mistake him for a sword cultivator.

But since this person is a formation cultivator who set up a trap in advance, the sword light just now must also be the effect of some kind of special formation, right?

A powerful array cultivator is certainly not easy to deal with, but this person has the advantage of terrain and set up an array in advance. The array he set up is nothing special, which proves that this person is probably only a recent beginner in the True Person realm.

The fact that he didn't use any magical artifacts when he flew through the air is enough to prove that his foundation was very shallow.

Since that's the case, Chongyun will teach this reckless young cultivator a lesson.

Faced with the struggling insect cloud trying to emerge, Li Yinsheng raised an eyebrow and activated another hidden formation.

Killing Formation - Rising Bull.

The Zhanggu Niu formation was not originally intended for killing, but rather for trapping. It suppresses opponents by limiting their magical power, somewhat similar to the Zhenshen Tou (a magical head formation), except that the Zhenshen Tou suppresses spirits, while the Zhanggu Niu suppresses qi (vital energy).

However, a cultivator who practiced the Dongxuan Formation had a flash of inspiration and thought that the way the Zhanggu Ox restricted the opponent's magic power could be used to kill the opponent.

The modified Zhang Guniu no longer restricts the opponent's magic power, but instead extracts a strand of magic power from the opponent's body and causes it to suddenly spread and erupt, shattering their meridians and internal organs.

Although it no longer has the effect of suppression, its killing power is still impossible to guard against.

With a scream, Master Chongyun's hard insect shell shattered from the inside out, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

"Huh?" Li Yinsheng was taken aback.

The Zhanggu Niu formation is indeed a killing formation, but no matter what, it shouldn't be able to directly kill the insect-transformed Chongyun Zhenren, right?

He probed with his divine sense and immediately discovered something was wrong. The blood mist that had exploded out seemed to still have aura and divine sense fluctuations, and most of it had left the range of the God-Suppressing Head, even spreading out for hundreds of feet.

Sure enough, the next moment, in the sky filled with blood mist, every drop of blood transformed into a countless blood-red worm resembling a ladybug.

And they fell gently, like a downpour in a storm, as if trying to reach the patrolling disciples scattered across the mountain below.

Li Yinsheng didn't know what tricks this Master Chongyun was up to, but he absolutely couldn't let him have his way.

He used the self-destruction of the bull to transform into thousands upon thousands of bloodworms, which is simply a way of breaking down the whole into smaller parts, making it impossible to guard against.

Li Yinsheng made a hand seal with one hand, and the pure and mysterious divine light surged into his magical power, the two mixing together.

Although he still doesn't know any advanced magic, the Pure Profound Divine Light greatly amplifies magic!

Wind manipulation technique.

A beginner-level spell stirred up the wind across the entire Bamboo Forest Peak.

Endless winds gathered from the mountains and forests, then soared into the sky, sweeping all the bloodworms that were trying to fly down back into the air, and then swirling back into a tornado, firmly trapping all the bloodworms in the middle.

Li Yinsheng took another bit of the Pure Profound Divine Light and threw a spell into the hurricane.

Burning Wind Technique.

In the blink of an eye, the sky for miles around was set ablaze.

After being mixed with a large amount of pure and mysterious divine light, the fire of the Burning Wind Technique can no longer be regarded as ordinary fire.

All the bloodworms were burned to ashes in the fire, leaving only one worm, about half a person's height, struggling left and right in the wind and fire.

Li Yinsheng frowned slightly.

Unfortunately, his foundation in the Burning Wind Technique was weak, so even with the Pure Profound Divine Light, he couldn't improve much.

He flashed and appeared in front of the insect, his eye twitching involuntarily.

The body of an insect, but the head of a cloud of insects.

Upon seeing Li Yinsheng, Chongyun let out a strange cry and spat out a crystal-clear talisman.

The talisman shattered, enveloping Master Chongyun, who instantly transformed into a streak of light and flew away into the distance.

Chapter 75 Slaying the Insect Clouds (5/5)

Imbued with the blessing of the Divine Escape Talisman, Master Chongyun hurriedly sped away into the distance.

He was really anxious this time.

It turns out that person wasn't a formation cultivator or a sword cultivator, but a magic cultivator!

He had just self-destructed into a blood mist because he realized that it would be too difficult to escape those trapping formations in front of Li Yinsheng. So he used another spell that could only be cast when he was in a state of fusion with his natal Gu.

This spell is divided into two parts.

The first part is a self-destruction; the instantaneous burst of power can help him escape or clash with some extremely powerful attacks.

However, the price is quite high, as it will cause him to lose a significant amount of his vital essence and blood, and leave him physically weak.

However, the latter part of the effect is that after his self-destruction, he can transform into thousands of bloodworms, absorbing the blood of surrounding cultivators, demons, and other living beings to recover his losses and reassemble his body.

Although the lost essence and blood are not so easy to recover, as long as enough cultivators and demons are absorbed, it can at least temporarily restore it to its peak state.

Moreover, although these bloodworms are not strong individually, their numbers are extremely large, making them very difficult to eliminate completely.

Once the surviving parts are scattered, it's not difficult to collect enough blood to reassemble the body.

Then he saw the "array cultivator" in front of him cast a wind spell around the entire mountain, trapping all the bloodworms he had created.

Then another fire spell was cast, burning all the bloodworms to ashes.

He managed to gather some of the bloodworms at the last moment and reform his body, barely managing to recover.

The price is that it is only its current size, and its fusion with its natal Gu is on the verge of being broken; its head has returned to normal.

After this battle, he had completely lost the will to fight Li Yinsheng.

Although he still had several powerful techniques he hadn't had time to use, his current extremely poor condition meant that these techniques were greatly diminished in power and unlikely to pose any threat to this person.

So he decisively abandoned the mother insect and the magic weapon, used the divine escape talisman he had prepared beforehand, and turned to flee for his life.

In his state of being one with his natal Gu, he was already able to use an extremely fast escape technique. With the addition of the Divine Escape Talisman, his escape speed could be increased several times over, so escaping was definitely not a problem.

"Damn it! Heaven has truly wronged me this time, for I have actually encountered such a treacherous and righteous master!"

Chongyun gritted his teeth: "This time I've lost at least twenty or thirty years of cultivation. Once I escape back to Thousand Insect Valley, I'll find out who this person came from. If I don't avenge this, I'll..."

"How are you?" someone asked from the side.

Chongyun's pupils shrank suddenly. Without even glancing to his side, he increased his speed by another three points.

How did he catch up? Does he also have a magic escape talisman?

And why is it that my divine sense has no connection to him at all!

"Bam—"

Chongyun suddenly felt as if she had crashed into a mountain.

The light surrounding him from the Divine Escape Talisman shattered completely, and he flew back at a speed even faster than when he was flying.

Only then, his mind still foggy, did he hear what sounded like a tidal wave of air being torn apart and howling.

Li Yinsheng shook his hand.

What kind of insect is this that flies so fast?

He almost couldn't catch up.

To be precise, he almost couldn't catch up with the enemy using only his physical strength.

Even with his soul separated from his body, the speed of the insect cloud wasn't considered fast; a pure soul is much faster than a physical body.

But without using his soul to leave his body, he almost failed to catch up.

Fortunately, the strength of body cultivators is not only reflected in high attack and high defense.

Body cultivators can also run fast in the air.

It's just that it's a bit too noisy.

Li Yinsheng looked back.

A gust of wind blew from behind him, the sound of him flying in.

Because he was so fast, all those sounds were left behind before he even stopped.

He flashed and caught up with the swatted-away Chongyun Zhenren.

Master Chongyun was completely unaware of what had just happened. He only felt that Li Yinsheng must also possess some kind of extremely advanced escape technique, and that his being blocked just now was nothing more than some kind of advanced magic.

The Divine Escape Talisman is shattered; to survive today, one must pay a heavy price.

"You forced me into this!"

Chongyun's expression hardened, his whole body was enveloped in dark light, and his size increased again, returning to the height of a person, and he also completely returned to his previous half-human, half-insect state.

Even now, although he is much smaller than when he was two zhang tall, he is even more ferocious. Every inch of his insect armor exudes an indestructible aura, and his momentum is even stronger than when he was two zhang tall.

"You've forced me to burn my life essence and lifespan, so you'll have to pay for it with your own life essence!"

As he spoke, Chongyun swung a claw at Li Yinsheng.

His claws also transformed into mantis-like sickle claws, their surfaces gleaming with a cold light.

A ferocious glint flashed across the insect-like face of Chongyun.

The person before me is still too young and lacks experience in combat. A magic cultivator with only a half-baked array mastery is able to easily get close to the enemy!

He almost exhausted the lifespan of his natal Gu in exchange for a body that could rival that of a body cultivator in a short period of time!

The sickle claw flashed and disappeared, approaching Li Yinsheng's brow.

Then Chongyun felt a gentle breeze blowing on it.

What kind of magic is this wind? It's blowing so strangely.

It was so faint, like the sound of willow catkins being blown by the wind.
