Chapter 26

The broken arm had an ageing corpse poison. Fan Wu She only felt his wound was painful. Soon his body was shivering from the cold and his eyes were foggy.

Xie Bi An blocked the major acupuncture points around his body. He then took out the true essence jade training pills that Xu Mao had given him, broke open the beeswax and fed it into his mouth, "Wu She, hold on, senior brother will take you away soon."

There was a sound behind them. That evil spirit crawled out of the darkness like a spider. It’s hollow, dark eye sockets “looking” coldly at the two of them, and the rotten hand that was severed by Fan Wu She had grown back!

Xie Bi An suddenly turned pale: "He's from the Chunyang Sect?!”

Sword cultivation is the most common in the immortal world, but in fact, sword cultivation is just a type of weapon cultivation, and it is only because there are many sword cultivators that it has become a separate category. There are many kinds of weapon cultivation: martial weapons cultivation, concealed weapons cultivation, magical treasures cultivation, witchcraft cultivation, all kinds of things, but martial cultivation is only one kind of cultivation, that is, endlessly refining of one's body is needed to achieve hundred-poison invulnerability, vajra invulnerability, and great strength, so great that one can even remove decay and rebuild one’s flesh.

As for the cultivation of talismans and cores, they are all necessary auxiliary skills for cultivators. Usually, only healers and craftsmen specialize in them.

Under the sky, there was only one sect that had taken martial arts cultivation to the extreme, and that was the Chunyang Sect, and only high-ranking cultivators of the Chunyang Sect could regenerate a severed limb.

Fan Wu She desperately tried to remember the Chunyang Sect cultivators he had met before, who could be the evil spirit in front of him, but he could not think of any that matched.

Xie Bi An held Wuqiongbi in front of him, shielding Fan Wu She behind him, and stared warily at the evil spirit, which had just received a blow from the Soul Weapon and was wary and did not attack immediately.

Xie Bi An barked, "Who are you, tell us your name!" He didn't know if the evil spirit could still regain some of its senses, but perhaps he could delay it for some time.

The evil spirit made an odd gurgling sound in his throat and scratched the ground with his five fingers, but after some hesitation, he could not resist the instinct to be tempted by the scent of a living person and lunged again.

Wuqiongbi cast a few clusters of emerald shadows in the dimly lit cave, and a huge spiritual pressure erupted from Xie Bi An's body as he struck the evil spirit head-on. The evil spirit did not dare to meet the blow and darted away, swooping back from the side.

One man and one ghost fighting vigorously using the formation’s metal chains. Xie Bi An, knowing that his opponent was a cultivator of the Chunyang Sect, tried his best to avoid being approached, but the evil spirit was so fast and powerful that he pulled the loose chain out of the wall and lashed out viciously at Xie Bi An. Wherever it contacts, even if it’s a hard rock, will be smashed into pieces.

Fan Wu She toned down his breath to make the true essence jade training pill work as quickly as possible, and waited for the dizzying weakness to subside before joining the battle again.

They tacitly set up an eight-trigram formation, using the original iron chain array to become the eye of the ever-changing formation themselves, trapping the evil spirit within the confines of their attack.

One black and one white, the Tai Chi was suddenly born.

Xie Bi An glanced at Fan Wu She worriedly, "Wu She, don't let him get close!"

The corpse poison had already paralyzed half of Fan Wu She’s upper body, and he knew that strenuous activity would only exacerbate the spread of the poison, so he had to fight quickly.

Xie Bi An could see that Fan Wu She wanted to use the same sword move he used against Song Chun Gui last time, but this evil spirit was more resistant than Song Chun Gui, and if he failed in one blow, he would not even be able to run. He gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble, spinning Wuqiongbi in his hand at high speed, and several green spell seals appeared in the void. The spell seals transformed into barrier walls, blocking the evil spirit’s path one by one.

With a low cry, Fan Wu She launched the seventh Chongtian of the Zongxuan Sword Technique and his murderous sword arc rushed towards the evil spirit with unstoppable force.

The evil spirit was blocked by the spell seals and could not avoid it, so it was knocked out of the way by the sword’s qi and was almost cut off at the waist!

Xie Bi An followed up on his victory, and Wuqiongbi descended from the sky, striking at the evil spirit's skull.

So long as his soul is struck out…

In a flash of lightning, the evil spirit, as if catching a mountain, caught the soul suppressing stick with both hands.

The sound of bones cracking in the evil spirit's arms was heard, but it was he who felt the chills. The evil spirit had caught the full force of the blow of his soul weapon!

With a hostile cry, the evil spirit threw Wuqiongbi and Xie Bi An out together.

Like a stone thrown into the center of the lake, Xie Bi An hit the stone wall, sending ripples of rock and soil flying. Then he fell to the ground, spitting blood as if his body had fallen apart.

"Senior brother!" Fan Wu She's strike had almost exhausted his spiritual power, and when he saw that he still couldn't suppress the evil creature, he had only one last option left, even if Xie Bi An was to suspect, he wouldn't let the two of them lose their lives to this ghost. "I will lead him to the Zhong Gong, and you will use the Wuqiongbi to lock Kan Gong to reseal him!"

Xie Bi An coughed up blood, "You, you know how to seal him?"

"I remember the incantation." Fan Wu She pulled out a fire talisman and shot it at the evil spirit, running towards the eye of the Zhong Gong formation himself.

Xie Bi An got up from the ground and thought for a moment, "No, you're at the eye of the formation too!" Although the Soul Binding Formation is used to suppress spirits, it is just as cruel when used on a living person, if Fan Wu She can't avoid it...

"There is no other way, quick!" The evil spirits are averse to fire. This one really got enraged and was attracted to Fan Wu She.

Xie Bi An used Wuqiongbi to replace the plucked iron chain and inserted it into the Kan Gong, with spiritual energy pouring out frantically, and Fan Wu She drew the evil spirit right into Zhong Gong.

Fan Wu She was mumbling the incantation while escaping from the formation’s eye. The dusty spell formation was awakened and once again glowed with an eerie blue light.

The evil spirit howled in misery, its originally strong body gradually hunched into a ball in the eye of the formation, trembling like grass in a rainstorm.

Fan Wu She's spiritual energy was nearly exhausted, but he had to hold on until the array was complete.

The evil spirit lay prostrate on the ground and suddenly lifted his head with difficulty, his ghastly white face hidden by his dishevelled hair, facing Xie Bi An, emitting an extremely painful, hoarse voice: "Heng Er ... save ... me ..."

Fan Wu She was like thunder through the body, a flash of white light appeared before his eyes. In a flash, he recognized this person, no, the ghost in the demon-binding formation.

Zong, Ming, He!

With his emotion shaken, the spell formation was lost, and Fan Wu She’s spiritual energy dried up, completely fainted.

The evil spirit regained its freedom and pounced frantically on Xie Bi An.

Xie Bi An gathered up his spiritual energy, intending to fight to the death.

In the nick of time, a flying sword, as fast as lightning, penetrated the evil spirit's body and pinned him to the stone wall in one fell swoop.

A reddish-purple shadow swept in. A dozen Soul Suppressing Talismans struck the evil spirit at the same time, and the moment they were attached, the evil spirit struggled and hissed, but could not move a muscle.

Xie Bi An almost wept with joy, choking back tears of anguish, "Master!"

Zhong Kui ran to Xie Bi An's side and transferred his spiritual energy to heal his wounds, and asked urgently, "Where are you hurt?"

"I'm fine, go and check on Wu She, he's been poisoned by the corpse."

Zhong Kui put down Xie Bi An and went over to check Fan Wu She's injuries, he frowned and said, "What a powerful corpse poison, we must take him back to Yunding as soon as possible."

Fan Wu She was unconscious and his face was already blue and black.

Xie Bi An glanced at the evil spirit that was still struggling, "What about, what about that thing? It was stabbed by your Qingfeng Sword yet its soul didn't even disperse."

That Qingfeng Sword was personally possessed with divine thoughts by the Great Emperor Beiyin. It was both a treasure sword and a soul weapon, as long as it was stabbed by this sword, there was no ghost that would not obey, unless ...

Unless the evil spirit was a patriarchal cultivator in life!

In the cave on Mount Shu's Diancang Peak, there was a Sovereign-level cultivator of the Chunyang Sect being suppressed by the Big Dipper Zhengji Demon Binding Formation, what the hell was going on here!?

After a moment's thought, Zhong Kui bit his finger and drew a blood talisman in the void, striking at Fan Wu She’s body to protect his heart and veins. He swept up, squatted on his own sword as light as a butterfly, clasped the evil spirit with one hand, and roared in a stern voice, "Come out!"

The evil spirit continued to roar and struggle.

There was a rush of footsteps from outside the cave, and Li Bu Yu came pouring in with a group of people.

"This is ..."

"Oh my god what's going on? how can there be evil spirits in Mount Shu?!"

"Look guys, the formation on the ground."

"This formation ... I think I've seen it somewhere."

"Could it be, it's the Big Dipper Zhengji Demon Binding Formation!"

The huffing and puffing sounds rang out one after another.

The ‘Yellow Emperor's Yin Fu Heavenly Secret Scripture’ was a book forbidden to the people. Although almost everyone had read it out of curiosity, no one would speak of it easily, lest it be associated with demonic cultivation. In the territory of Wuliang Sect, the number one Immortal Sect in the righteous path, the appearance of such trickery makes people pale.

Li Bu Yu’s eyes were grim and frightening. This scene was simply a slap in the face of his Immortal Alliance allies.

The disciples of Wuliang Sect also looked at each other in disbelief, all wondering how such a formation could have appeared in Mount Shu and released a very fierce evil spirit!

Li Bu Yu said angrily, "How dare this foul evil creature defile my holy place on Mount Shu. Zheng Nan, get out of the way."

Zhong Kui was on the verge of stripping out the human soul of the evil spirit when he looked back and said urgently, "No!"

A golden light appeared in the cave, and a thunderbolt scroll spread out while violently attacking Zhong Kui and the evil spirit.

Zhong Kui was enraged, but had to draw his Qingfeng Sword and dart for cover.

Several flashes of lightning struck the evil spirit, and the lightning flowers crackled loudly, the golden light stung one's eyes so much that the whole cave was instantly as bright as daylight. Zhong Kui and Xie Bi An heard the evil spirit's screams of misery at the same time.

Abruptly, the golden light converged, and the scroll retracted, flying back into Li Bu Yu’s hands.

The evil spirit slid down from the wall and fell limp to the ground without any bones.

Xie Bi An was dumbstruck.

He never thought he would one day see Li Bu Yu’s magical treasure, the Thunder Ancestor's Treasure Grant, with his own eyes.

Legend has it that it was a parallel written by the Jiutian's Yingyuan Thunder Puhua Tianzun. This god was an earth deity who had ascended, and although it was nowhere near as powerful as the ancient gods, it was not comparable to today's cultivators, so even a copy of the treasure encyclical had a powerful magical power, and it was said that this magic treasure could summon heavenly thunder.

The more powerful the magical treasure, the greater the loss of spiritual power to the cultivator. It is an unwritten rule among cultivators that magical treasures are not easily shown to others. After all, no one would just show their mastery, but Li Bu Yu used this Thunder Ancestor Treasure Grant to beat an evil spirit to death*!

Zhong Kui shouted, "What does the Alliance Master mean?"

Li Bu Yu's face was covered with frost: "This evil spirit has soiled my Mount Shu and seriously injured the two Impermanence, how can we let it go so easily?"

"Even if he is evil, he can go to the underworld to serve his sentence and be reincarnated once his sins are paid off. How can you beat an evil spirit to death?!”

Li Bu Yu snorted coldly, "What if this evil creature is so sinful that he can only be reborn in the lower three paths."

"Then he deserves even more to go to hell to atone for his sins."

"Zheng Nan, I am not from your underworld, yet this is earth, and earth has its rules." Li Bu Yu looked at Zhong Kui coldly.

Zhong Kui glared angrily, but there was nothing more he could do.

The people in the room did not dare to say a word.

Zhong Kui said coldly, "Is Master Li not curious as to who this evil spirit is and why he has been suppressed by the Big Dipper Zhengji Demon Binding Formation at Diancang Peak? How else can you find out when you have beaten his soul to death."

"I have neglected this in a moment of anger." Li Bu Yu said, "Chun Gui, go and take a look at the corpse."

"It's rotten like this, what can we see?" Zhong Kui grimaced and pointed at a few people, "You and you, carry my disciple back to Yunding."

Xie Bi An looked at Zhong Kui uncertainly, and Zhong Kui gave him a stony look in return.

Li Bu Yu was as steady as a mountain in temperament. A man who had fought with the Supreme Demon Zong Zi Xiao. What great storms had he not seen? How could he be angry because of an evil spirit? This move really looked like - extermination.

---The first volume is almost over.

In the second volume, we will see Xiao Jiu grow up to be a teenager~ By then, we’ll YEET ourselves back into the past once again.

 

evil spirit to death*[魂飞魄散]---real definition is ‘soul flies away and scatter’. This is equivalent of killing a ghost. When this happens, it disappears forever. It can no longer reincarnate.
