Dark Immortal Cultivation

Useless.

The eerie howl was not weakened at all by Zhang Qing covering his ears; on the contrary, it became even sharper and more piercing, as if a red-hot steel needle had pierced straight into his skull and penetrated his soul!

This put immense pressure on Zhang Qing's mind.

In fact, he had a similar experience before.

That night, the evil spirit broke into the house, and during the fierce battle with it, Zhang Qing was attacked by sound waves, or rather, by mental forces.

But compared to the current situation, it's nothing.

In just a moment, bright red blood seeped from Zhang Qing's mouth, nose, eyes, and ears, and his face twisted into a ferocious expression.

He couldn't even pull out a second talisman!

Not only that, Zhang Qing's consciousness began to waver, and the last sliver of clarity he clung to in his mind was like a candle flame in a storm, in danger of being extinguished at any moment.

Even when faced with the most dangerous situation, he still did not give up.

This stubbornness of not giving up and not accepting fate had permeated most of Zhang Qing's previous life.

Even when reality crushed him and left him bleeding, he gritted his teeth and persevered.

Hold on!

Zhang Qing said to himself.

Suddenly, the shrieking stopped abruptly.

Zhang Qing was jolted awake. His collapsing soul and consciousness instantly reformed, allowing him to regain control of his body.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Qing exerted all his strength to activate his true energy and unleash his magical power in his right palm.

The next moment, a ball of crimson and white flames appeared out of thin air.

kill!

Zhang Qing roared silently in his heart.

The blazing fire suddenly shot forward and exploded just a few feet away from the evil entity.

What was originally a fireball the size of an egg has transformed into a vast expanse of scorching flames, completely enveloping the evil!

唳～

Just then, the evil creature, whose form had been partially dissolved by the exorcising spiritual light, let out another soul-snatching howl.

The result was that it lasted only half a breath before being engulfed by the raging flames!

The eerie, mangled body was instantly riddled with holes and could no longer maintain its original form, turning into wisps of black smoke that scattered and flew away.

Zhang Qing stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

In that last strike, he forcefully gathered his inner energy in his dantian, but the excessive force caused slight damage to his meridians.

At this moment, a state of exhaustion occurred.

But the evil spirits had been dispersed, and Zhang Qing's life was finally saved.

He steadied himself, took a deep breath, and calmed the turbulent blood surging within him.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Qing took out a healing pill from his storage bag and swallowed it.

Once the medicine took effect, he felt much better, and the burning pain in his internal organs, mouth, nose, eyes, and ears was gone.

But recalling what had just happened, Zhang Qing was still shaken!

It should be noted that he maintained a state of external spiritual awareness throughout the exploration of the ancient ruins.

As a result, they didn't even notice the appearance of the evil spirit.

He almost died on the spot.

The level of danger here completely exceeded Zhang Qing's expectations.

Zhang Qing was starting to have an existential crisis.

Since his transmigration, he has encountered danger time and time again.

On their first exploration of the ancient ruins, they encountered a fierce and malevolent force.

It feels like this body is cursed with a jinx, attracting all sorts of troubles.

It's not safe to stay at home or go out!

There was nothing we could do about it.

Clinging to a sliver of hope, Zhang Qing searched the places where the strange phenomenon had appeared.

No fragments of the ruins were found.

A valuable mid-grade talisman for warding off evil spirits has now become a complete loss.

The person was also injured.

Under these circumstances, Zhang Qing did not stubbornly continue exploring, but decisively retreated.

To Zhang Qing's surprise, he actually saw Gao Qiang.

The middle-aged monk stood where the group had previously dispersed.

It was as if they were waiting for something.

Judging by the time, less than half an hour has passed!

As Zhang Qing saw Gao Qiang, Gao Qiang also noticed his return, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Although the middle-aged cultivator immediately changed his expression.

But it didn't escape Zhang Qing's eyes.

wrong!

Zhang Qing's heart sank.

"Brother Zhang, are you injured?"

Gao Qiang asked with concern, "What happened?"

As he spoke, he strode towards Zhang Qing.

But the next moment, the middle-aged cultivator stopped in his tracks, his brows furrowing: "Brother Zhang, what do you mean by this?"

Zhang Qing was holding a talisman in his hand, and his gaze was full of vigilance as he looked at him.

"Uncle Gao, you know there's something supernatural here, right?"

Zhang Qing said in a deep voice, "You've sent us here to die!"

Gao Qiang fell silent.

The middle-aged cultivator wanted to argue, but Zhang Qing's sharp gaze made him suddenly lose interest in making excuses.

The boy before me has already seen through the truth!

"That's right."

Gao Qiang chuckled and said, "But I didn't expect you to survive encountering an evil entity."

This time, it was Zhang Qing's turn to remain silent.

In fact, he wasn't entirely sure that Gao Qiang wanted to frame him.

After all, this middle-aged cultivator had a fairly good reputation.

So I made a couple of deceptive remarks.

Gao Qiang readily admitted it.

They showed no remorse whatsoever, and even acted as if it were perfectly natural!

Gao Qiang said calmly, "I don't want to stay in Xiaoshiji any longer, but I don't have much money. It won't be easy for me to get by anywhere else, so I can only ask you for a favor. Blame those scoundrels from the Loyalty Society!"

Although his tone was calm and indifferent, when he spoke of the Loyalty Society, there was still a hint of gritted teeth.

If possible, Gao Qiang would not want to resort to such a desperate measure.

But the Loyalty Society was so outrageous that it forced him down this path.

But Gao Qiang did not regret it.

To survive in this world, you have to learn to eat people!

"so…"

His gaze towards Zhang Qing instantly turned ferocious: "Die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged cultivator raised his hand, and his five fingers simultaneously emitted a faint golden light.

At that moment, Zhang Qing suddenly unleashed the Explosive Flame Talisman in his hand.

call!

A large area of ​​flames was the first to bombard Gao Qiang.

However, Gao Qiang was prepared. With a swift movement, he teleported several steps to the side, barely avoiding the oncoming blazing flames.

Although the power of the Exploding Flame Talisman is not weak, it is still easy to dodge in a head-on confrontation.

Gao Qiang's combat experience far surpasses that of Zhang Qing.

So even though the plan went wrong, he still managed to defeat his opponent!

The middle-aged monk then clenched his fists, preparing to deliver a fatal blow and end this unexpected battle.

To his utter surprise, a series of flames shot through the air, fast and accurate, striking his vitals!

Gao Qiang was taken aback.

He was only at the third level of Qi Refining and had not yet mastered the ability to protect his body with spiritual light. He dared not directly withstand these powerful fire missiles, and he couldn't even bother to retaliate against Zhang Qing. He dodged again.

The next moment, another string of fireballs flew in, chasing Gao Qiang like maggots clinging to his bones.

How is that possible?

Zhang Qing was only at the second level of Qi Refining, and he was still a greenhorn.

He just couldn't understand it.

How did the other party learn such outstanding spellcasting skills!

The middle-aged monk felt a chill run down his spine.

I almost got hit by a fireball.
