Please control me, my divine being!

This was the first time he had received such a clearly defined task in a game with such weak guidance.

The rewards for the missions are not physical items, but rather some kind of system function within the game.

It seems that the trigger for the quest is related to the final boss and hidden content of the entire map, and the rewards are also related to the game's own functions.

Zhou Qing glanced at the battlefield interface.

The remaining four badges, belonging to direct disciples of the Dharma Sect, did not flee but instead surrounded them again.

After the sudden ambush and killing of one person, more information was revealed in the game text.

【Dharma Teachings Secular Arts - Yin-Yang Dharma Body: A secret secular art that can only be practiced by direct disciples of the Dharma Teachings. It can be divided into two, which are Yin and Yang, and have almost identical physical attributes.

If one of them dies, the other will also die.

After the physical body is attacked, the Dharma body will suffer even more severe damage.

Zhou Qing breathed a sigh of relief as he read the text.

Of the six personal disciples in the Immortal Master Hall, there are actually only three.

The other three were clones created using conventional techniques.

After all, under the keen observation of the discerning eye, these six people, paired up, all shared the same aura.

Now that I understand this common trick, the battle before me is much easier than I imagined. Even though there are still four pieces on the board, I only need to deal with two people: Pang Ziyue and Zhang Tan.

Faced with the four menacing figures, Zhou Qing did not linger in the fight and retreated from the entrance of the chess alley.

The four members of the Fa Sect threw out talismans again.

With the two mundane techniques beside him still on cooldown, Zhou Qing could only continue dodging and leap out of the Immortal Master's Palace.

However, the talisman exploded over a very large area, and the group attacked even more fiercely than before. Even though they managed to dodge in time, they were still significantly affected.

After the talismans bombarded the area, half of the Immortal Master's Palace was destroyed.

Zhou Qing stepped forward again and slashed at the woman who looked just like Zhang Tan.

Large amounts of blood spurted out.

After the attack, the character badge became riddled with cracks.

On the other side, seeing that the situation was not going well...

The badge representing Pang Ziyue quickly combined with Pang Haori, and the two badges merged into one, doubling in size, and the simple line drawing became even more distorted and terrifying.

The name on the badge has also changed to "Pang Ziyue, Head Master of the Six Ren Dharma Teachings".

Zhou Qing never expected this turn of events to occur.

The leader of the Fa Sect, the altar master who had never appeared before, now stood before them, exuding a menacing aura.

The reason this guy hasn't shown up is because he's been playing the roles of two protégés.

Zhou Qing originally intended to gain the upper hand.

However, the next second, the imposing Pang Ziyue actually picked up the statue in the hall and jumped out of the window next to it, disappearing from the battlefield.

……

Li Qinghe stared at the corpse on the ground.

Now, killing is no longer as simple for her as eating or drinking, but she is at peace with herself.

I never felt nauseous or disgusted like I did the first time.

Moments later, the corpse on the ground gradually melted and decomposed, and the flesh and bones gradually disappeared.

Beneath the black robes of the Dharma Master, a palm-sized talisman was revealed.

Compared to the previous talisman paper, this one has more intricate and complex patterns, with water and fire colors interwoven on it, creating a beautiful effect.

"This is the life talisman, a talisman that every follower of the Fa Sect cultivates with their life."

Zhang Tan, who was standing to the side, wiped the blood from his mouth and explained.

After his other half of his Dharma body was severely injured, Pang Ziyue decisively picked up the statue used for the ritual to awaken the River God and left the place.

Clearly, after one death and one injury, she gave up on continuing to entangle with Li Qinghe and ensured that the ritual could proceed.

After all, this is the most important thing right now.

The girl was incredibly strong, especially her formidable speed and ghostly dodging skills, which were extremely effective against cultivators like the Fa Sect who were not good at close combat and preferred talismans.

Even if she recalls her Dharma body and regains her power as the leader of the altar, it will be difficult for Pang Ziyue to end the battle in a short time.

The relentless bombardment of talismans makes it easier to reveal the location of this place.

When the Huang family and the brokers arrive, it will be very difficult for her to escape.

What is the function of the Destiny Talisman?

Li Qinghe picked up the talisman from the blood, shook it gently, and then put it into his sleeve.

Zhang Tan held the seriously injured woman in his arms. "It is a magic talisman bestowed upon us by the Immortal Master, and it is also the source of extraordinary power. Without special seals and the Immortal Master's permission, it cannot be activated."

Fate talismans are also materials used by many alchemists and weapon makers in crafting items.

In other words, the Life Talisman is equivalent to the condensation of their abilities, and only disciples of the Dharma Sect can use it; others can only use it as material.

Li Qinghe pursed her lips and walked closer, carrying a wood-chopping knife.

"Since things have come to this, just give me a quick death."

As the girl slowly approached, Zhang Tan stared at her and said in a light tone, "Kill me, and you'll have to hurry and find Pang Ziyue."

She must be performing an awakening ritual!

The River God devoured hundreds of followers of the Fa Cult and has now transformed into some unknown monster. If we don't hurry, the entire city will be wiped out.

Li Qinghe gripped the wood-chopping knife tightly, her arm trembling slightly: "Why did you join the Legalist Cult?"

The cultivation practice of the Fa Sect is clearly an inhuman path that will greatly distort the minds of practitioners.

Especially after transforming oneself into neither male nor female, one must also split into two bodies, yin and yang uniting...

No normal person would make that choice.

"Of course, it's to survive and to have enough to eat." Zhang Tan sneered, "Even if I'm called a heretic of the Fa Sect, at least I'm still alive. My fellow villagers who followed me are long gone!"

Li Qinghe, you, a cultivator favored by the gods, have no idea of ​​the struggles of us ants.

However, since we've known each other for a while, I'll tell you something else—do you know what the River God's true form is?

Upon hearing this, Li Qinghe tensed up.

The cause of the mother's death and the current tragic state of the area surrounding Lianshan City is the Huang family and the River God.

Since childhood, she had heard everyone say that the River God was the deity who protected this tributary of the turbid river, but she had never seen what he looked like.

Just as she was lost in thought, Zhang Tan suddenly stepped forward.

His previous despondency vanished instantly, and he blew on the two talismans between his fingers until they ignited.

But before he could throw it, the rusty machete had already slashed at his neck.

The flesh was slicing open by the blade.

The hard cervical vertebrae jammed the rusty machete.

With Li Qinghe exerting his strength a second time, a head flew high into the air.

Zhang Tan's headless body fell to the ground.

The woman he was holding, who looked almost exactly like him, let out a heart-wrenching scream.

Her skin began to crack and dissolve. Leaning against the prayer mat in the main hall, like a crawling insect on the ground, she stretched out her fingers with all her might, reaching for the head.

Blood continued to flow down her fingers, and her eyes grew clearer and clearer.

From initial pain, to regret, and now to relief.

An immense sorrow enveloped the hall.

Li Qinghe suddenly felt that the woman in front of him was the real Zhang Tan, or rather, the ordinary, cheerful farmer he once was.

She crawled across the ground, leaving a trail of blood, and finally gripped the head tightly in her hand. Lying in the dark corner, her eyes fixed on Li Qinghe standing in the doorway, illuminated by the floating talisman fire, she uttered three words from her mouth, which was constantly frothing with blood:

"well done……"
