Chapter 34 Wood-type Card Upgrade: Healing and Purification
Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Karin instinctively curled up.
The expected pain did not occur.
Karin opened one eye and looked ahead, only to find a man in a crane cloak standing in front of her.
The opponent's jade-like hand gripped the tip of the sword, and with a slight squeeze, the sharp blade instantly transformed into a shower of petals.
A savior descended from the heavens! Reborn parents! Mom and Dad! The perilous situation made Huali's eyes light up with excitement! Before she could speak, the other person had already turned around.
As Huali looked up, the first thing you noticed was her sharp jawline.
Before she could look up any further, the other person's black crane cloak fluttered without wind, and the hand that had just crushed the sword blade reached out towards her.
The cold, blood-red silk cuff brushed against Huali's nose, its scent like a newly broken plum blossom in the snow, or the cold fragrance of faded, burnt paper money.
The little animal's instincts came in handy at this moment, and the joy in Huali's eyes was replaced by fear.
Wait...wait a minute, this smells familiar...could it be...?
"Uh..." The next second, her neck was mercilessly gripped in the other person's hand.
Wen Jin's face was colder than the glaciers of Tianji Mountain that had stood for ten thousand years. His gaze swept over the jade pendant on Hua Li's chest that had activated the Soul Oath Formation, and his tone was icy, "I hate being threatened the most. If you break the Soul Oath, I can still leave you with a whole corpse."
Another soul oath?
Hua Li's right hand was broken, and she could only barely grasp Wen Jin's hand with her left. The red thread cut deep into the flesh, and blood dripped down her arm onto the other person's body.
Wen Jin glanced at him with disgust and dug his fingers deeper.
He glanced at the red thread controlling Huali, showing no intention of untying it. "Not going to talk?"
Here we go again, this self-absorbed lunatic.
Perhaps seeing that Huali was about to suffocate and afraid that she wouldn't be able to say she would give up her soul oath, the hand that was holding her neck loosened slightly, and a blue flame appeared in Wen Jin's hand, which was suddenly burned to ashes by the blood-dripping crane cloak.
Huali collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, her throat burning with pain.
Her neck suffered terribly ever since she came from another world; it was constantly being pinched by one person and another!
She wants to speak out for her neck!
"Ahem... I don't know what you're talking about... This jade pendant was... given to me by someone else..."
The Demon Lord had no patience to listen to her intermittent words. To him, no one mattered. An impatience flashed in his eyes. "Since I have given it to you, you can do as you please."
"Could you untie these red threads for me first?" Huali reached out her hand.
Wen Jin lowered his head, the red beauty mark under his right eye becoming extremely alluring due to his squinting, yet his pale golden pupils were filled with killing intent. "I have said before, I hate being threatened the most."
Seeing the other person reach for her neck again, Huali quickly shrank back. "But the jade pendant is in my clothes. I don't have hands, so how can you take it?"
Wen Jin: "......"
Snap—the red thread on her left hand broke.
Huali quickly got up, took out a wood-type card, and threw it at Wen Jin.
Wen Jin reached out and caught it, and the blue ghostly flames instantly engulfed the card.
Karin's heart tightened, her gaze fixed on the small star on the card. Suddenly, the gray star began to twinkle, slowly illuminating the ghostly flames.
Wen Jin seemed to sense something, stopped moving and looked at his palm.
This is... a card?
He narrowed his eyes, a cold smile flashing across his lips. He had actually encountered the second person in Chenliu City who possessed this item.
Ao Bai, who was frantically pinching the Fusion Starman, looked up and exclaimed, "Meow! Host's wood-type card has been upgraded to SR!"
"Let me see, let me see!" Ao Bai excitedly jumped the whole cat onto Rong Xing, causing Rong Xing to cough up blood again.
Rongxing: "Living... Yama Cat..."
"Skill 1: Cycle of Life and Death, can heal 30% of the health bar, regardless of cultivation level."
"Skill 2: By receiving blessings from all things, it can purify demonic energy and filth, and awaken a pure heart."
As the wood-type card was upgraded, Huali's body was also changing. She could feel a strange power flowing through her meridians, like a filter that filtered out all the impurities and chronic illnesses in her body.
The moment her injured arm and health points were fully restored, the Wood Card returned to her hand.
Song Ran frowned as he looked at the suddenly appearing Wen Jin. "Demon Lord, are you going to break our deal?"
What kind of deal? They really are in cahoots.
Wen Jin didn't want to explain anything to an ant, and simply stepped aside, saying, "Her blood can help you complete the final formation. Let's do it."
Rosewood: ? ? ?
That's a damn good-for-nothing! So handsome, yet so full of bad intentions!
He cursed inwardly but ordered himself to run. The Ksitigarbha Entanglement reappeared, attempting to sever the intertwined red threads.
During this brief moment, Huali activated her wood-type card, "Reincarnation of Life and Death, Accumulate!"
The moment the wood-type card left the palm, the vein-like patterns suddenly lit up with emerald light, shooting straight towards Rongxing lying on the ground. Fine, hair-like green vines bloomed one after another, and like serpents, they healed the flesh and blood anew.
The life force that Rongxing had absorbed was visibly returning, transforming him from an old man into a young man around forty years old.
The cycle of decay and prosperity can only cure 30% of cases now, but it's enough to save lives.
Rongxing's gaze towards Huali had changed from shock to admiration; a devoted fan was born at this moment.
"Karin! I..."
"Quickly, go and call for reinforcements!" Hua Li, who had just finished showing off, was knocked away by Song Ran's follow-up attack and ran away with her head in her hands. "Find Lian Zhuo... no, find the remaining cultivators in the city, I can't hold on any longer!"
Rongxing jumped up and ran away, yelling, "Huali, please don't die!"

Although the skills upgraded by the Wood-type card are powerful, they are not very practical in battle. Huali still only has two moves.
Fortunately, Song Ran had to contend with the Buddha's Sumeru Domain while also dealing with Hua Li; otherwise, her skills would have been completely inadequate.
With a flash of impatience in his eyes, Song Ran formed hand seals again, and red threads emerged from the ground, firmly sealing Hua Li in place.
A blade several times larger than before swept over again; once pierced, her breasts would surely be visible.
At the critical moment, Ao Bai's voice rang out: "Host, the Soul Oath's spell has not yet faded! You still have a connection with the Demon Lord; let him save you!"
"Hey you!" Huali shouted as she turned around, "Demon Lord, stop Song Ran!"
The Soul Oath magic circle rotated, and blue ghostly flames appeared in Wen Jin's hand, shooting towards Song Ran.
Song Ran, who had barely managed to raise his cultivation to the Nascent Soul stage with the Blood River Reversal Pill, was no match for both the Buddha's disciple and the Demon Lord, both at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and retreated like a kite flying backward, only to be stopped midway by the blood line inserted into the ground.
Wen Jin's eyes were cold enough to kill; how dare a mere Soul Oath dare to order him around?
The way he looked at Huali was as if he were looking at a dead person.
Knowing that Wen Jin would deal with Song Ran and then punish her, Hua Li had already run three meters away, opened the Buddha Bone Cage, and huddled inside.
Wen Jin ignited a blue ghostly flame in his hand, about to smash the opponent's head, when suddenly his spiritual power was blocked.
"Damn it..."
He rashly used his killing move, but his spiritual power was suppressed by the Sea of Time.
With increasing murderous intent in his eyes, Wen Jin's desire for Hua Li's death reached its peak at this moment.
Enduring the soul-scraping backlash, the Demon Lord shattered the Rosewood Barrier with a single palm strike.
Huali was like a kitten whose fate had been seized by the neck. She turned and ran, but the back of her neck was grabbed by spiritual power, and she could only wave her arms wildly.
All the water and earth type cards were thrown out, but they had no effect whatsoever.
Wen Jin gripped Hua Li's neck again, tightening his grip with his five fingers!
Suddenly, a swastika-shaped beam of light shot out from afar, and he raised his hand and waved it.
They exchanged palm strikes across the air with Lian Zhuo.
