Chapter 89
Although my magic power is low now, it is still no problem for me to run away, so I am not afraid.
When I actually saw that thing, I still felt a chill. I saw a blood gourd walking towards me, with scratches clearly visible on its body. It was Lao Li's body. But now it couldn't be called a corpse. The scratches on its body had been patched up, and its seven orifices were completely sealed.
He is fat and looks like a balloon.
It turned out that the man was so cruel that he skinned Lao Li's body, then sewed the skin back together, and used evil magic to drive this balloon-like human skin to kill me.
I never thought that such a small conflict would escalate to this extent. This also made me realize that human nature is treacherous and difficult to judge.
Lao Li's body, with all its facial features sewn up, was now approaching me step by step.
The moment I came into contact with it, the evil force enveloped me. Today was a life-or-death situation, and I wasn't going to run away anymore.
But if we really start fighting, I’m not sure I’ll win.
After a brief struggle with it, I was caught. The scene below gave me a chill. I saw cracks on its back, the cuts from when it had skinned it.
One by one, the blood lines burst open until the hole was big enough to swallow me completely.
Now I am wrapped in this human skin, and all the hair on my body is standing on end.
The gentleman who was behind this finally surfaced when he saw that I was now completely under control.
Sure enough, it was him. He looked at me with a sinister look on his face and said, "I didn't expect that a little girl like you could run so fast. It took me so much effort."
"What do you want?" I asked him.
"Dare to steal my job? Today I will make you into a human candle and let you know the consequences of offending me."
A human candle is a hollowed-out human body, leaving only the skin. It's then filled with corpse oil and ignited with the deceased's hair. Once lit, the candle emits a powerful venom. The candle holder absorbs this venom, enhancing their own magical powers. This method is extremely vicious and abhorrent.
This is actually a demon cultivator.
The so-called demonic cultivators, like those encountered last time in Huangjiayu, all used devious methods to acquire vast amounts of mana in a short period of time. This was also what distinguished them from those of the righteous path. The righteous cultivation methods, such as Taoism and Buddhism, progressed very slowly but without side effects. Once these demonic cultivators' methods were broken, they would be destroyed.
With the energy I have now, I can't break free from this human skin. I can only use the power of the bracelet. I am now trapped and can only silently recite in my heart: Jiu Tian Ying Yuan Lei Sheng Pu Hua Tian Zun!
The power of thunder spread throughout my body, even shattering the energy I had cultivated with great difficulty. However, in return, the human skin that enveloped me also burned rapidly.
Finally, the entire human skin burned from head to toe, and I could finally breathe normally. The thunder disappeared, and the weak energy in my body reappeared.
When he saw that I broke the spell so easily, he spat out a mouthful of blood. This was the power of backlash.
"How could you break my human skin technique!" He looked at me in disbelief.
"If I hadn't pretended to be fooled, how could I have gotten you to show up?"
"I see," he said.
That's right, I made up my mind from the beginning that no matter what the cost, I would lure him out and then kill him. I really don't like the feeling of being watched from the dark all the time.
Now he has been tortured by the backlash to the point that he is no longer human.
He frantically scratched at his own body with both hands, just like Old Li, until his body was covered in blood and scratched to the core. He let out a horrific scream that echoed in the night sky.
After the backlash had taken effect, he fell to the ground, breathing weakly.
I walked up to him, looked at him quietly, and said, "Did you ever think that this day would come?"
His laughter resounded through the heavens and earth, and he said, "I never thought I would be defeated by a little girl like you."
She took off the bracelet, placed it in front of him, and said, "This was made by the Tianshi Mansion. To be precise, you were defeated by the Tianshi Mansion."
He looked at the bracelet for a long time without saying anything. Finally, he wanted to reach out to take it, but I dodged him.
Looking at his last breath, I gathered all the energy in my body into my fingers. If it were before, it should have been a flame, the Red Lotus True Fire, but what appeared now was a ball of black light.
As soon as the black light appeared, I felt like the bracelet was about to explode. I quickly threw the black light out and it landed on him.
His entire body was quickly absorbed by the black light, leaving only a human print on the ground.
I felt a little nervous because after this ball of black light destroyed him, the energy in my body suddenly increased a bit.
As mentioned before, only magic cultivators have this method of quickly increasing magic power. What I just did is somewhat similar to that of magic cultivators.
After this matter came to an end, I went to Jiangxi with an uneasy feeling.
I pondered this question the entire way, and the more I thought about it, the more terrified I became. The drive was incredibly long, and once we finally reached Jiangxi, I immediately rushed to Longhu Mountain.
Nothing had changed on Mount Longhu. I arrived at the Tianshi Mansion with ease. The Taoist child at the door recognized me and bowed respectfully upon seeing me.
When I entered the Tianshi Mansion, the first people I saw were Qingyun and Erma. They were playing around in the mansion. When they saw me coming, they ran over in surprise.
It had been a long time since we last met, and I was eager to find Master Zhang to answer my questions, so I asked, "Where's Master Zhang? I have something to ask him."
Qingyun saw that I was anxious and said, "I'm in the Tianshi Temple right now. What's the hurry?"
"I'll tell you later." After finding out where Master Zhang was, I quickly walked towards the Tianshi Hall.
Inside the hall, Master Zhang and Zhang Pingyin were burning incense. I didn't dare to rush them, but waited outside. They were surprised to see me.
After they finished burning incense and came out, Master Zhang asked me, "Why did you come here so suddenly?"
I took off the bracelet and said, "Of course I came to thank you."
He looked puzzled and said, "Didn't you already thank me at Baiyun Temple? Why did you come all the way to Tianshi Mansion?"
Seeing that he was puzzled, I told him the whole story of my encounter with the old Taoist priest.
After listening to this, Zhang Pingyin said, "Could this also be part of father's plan?"
Only then did I realize that the person who gave me the bracelet was actually the old Taoist priest Zhang Jingzhi.
I followed them all the way to the old Taoist priest's meditation room. Before I even entered, I heard him say, "Not showing oneself, one becomes clear. Seeing the simple and embracing the pure, great achievement appears as if it is incomplete."
What he meant by this was that I should break away from narrow-minded thinking, keep a pure heart, and that perfect things may not seem so perfect.
"Father!" said Master Zhang and the other two.
Zhang Jingzhi stood up and walked towards me, took the bracelet from my hand, and said, "Let it be."
Unexpectedly, he had already solved my doubts before I even opened my mouth.
