Chapter 328 Ambush



Li Shiming looked at the Heavenly Ghost with excitement, watching the Heavenly Ghost enter the interior of the fake infant's body.

The Heavenly Ghost was not affected by the power of the fake infant's body, which was extremely rare.

You should know that although ghosts have the ability to possess people, their limitations are great. Too much mental power, too much physical strength, too high a realm, mastery of spiritual skills, etc. will all affect the ghost's possession.

Even if the fake baby no longer exists, given its power, if a third-grade evil spirit dares to touch the fake baby's body, the consequence would most likely be the shattering of the third-grade evil spirit's soul.

Let alone a third-grade evil ghost, even Li Shiming, when he was in the foundation-building stage, did not dare to come into too much contact with the fake infant's body.

The Heavenly Ghost inherited the Heavenly Demon's talent in this regard. He lost the body of the false infant, which was equivalent to losing his powerful mental power, and only his body became strong.

This kind of fake infant body is unable to resist possession by the celestial demon. The celestial ghost possesses some of the celestial demon's talents, which allows it to successfully enter the fake infant body.

"Possess!" Li Shiming gave the order. He was a little impatient.

But he understood what kind of combat power it meant to control a fake baby's body.

At least during the Jindan stage, even if he encounters those two great Arhats, if he can let the false infant body get close to them, he can definitely defeat the two great Arhats.

In addition, the fake baby's body is the best shield, which can block in front of him and become a stronger defense than defensive magic weapons.

The celestial ghost obeyed his command and used his possession ability.

Then the eyes of the fake baby's body slowly opened, and there was a hint of intelligence in its gaze. Although the intelligence of the sky ghost was not high, it was intelligent after all, which made the eyes of the fake baby's body carry the unique light of intelligent life.

Li Shiming clenched his fists tightly, as if the heavenly ghost had really succeeded in possessing him.

However, he soon discovered that something was wrong. The fake infant body wanted to stand up, but the movements were extremely slow. It took more than ten breaths just to stand up.

This reminded him of the action of the fake baby's body opening its eyes before, and he thought that it was the process of the heavenly ghost getting familiar with the fake baby's body.

He sensed the powerlessness of the Heavenly Ghost, which was controlling the body of the fake infant like a child pulling a cart.

Possessed by a celestial ghost, the fake infant's body couldn't even move normally, let alone fight.

Li Shiming let out a long breath. He felt that he was too anxious and Tiangui had done a good enough job.

If the Heavenly Ghost had not undergone any abnormal changes, perhaps at this moment the third-grade evil ghost would still only be able to circle around the fake infant's body, and would still be a long way from entering the fake infant's body.

One of his brains continued to pay attention to the situation of the Sky Ghost. After more than an hour, he made a new discovery.

There is no time limit for the celestial ghost to possess the body of a fake baby.

This is different from a third-grade evil spirit. When a third-grade evil spirit possesses a person, it consumes its own energy.

It is very similar to the devil. There is no time limit for the devil to possess a person, and the possessed object will instead give back to the devil.

The same is true for the Heavenly Ghost at present. As the time it possesses the fake infant's body gets longer, the powerful qi and blood of the fake infant's body nourishes the Heavenly Ghost, allowing the Heavenly Ghost to slowly improve its strength without Li Shiming's essence and mental power.

This was an unexpected discovery. Li Shiming was planning to take on some alchemy tasks to restore essence and blood after returning.

Cultivating a heavenly ghost requires essence, blood, and mental strength. He doesn't have to worry about his mental strength. Judging from his powerful mental strength, even if the heavenly ghost devours a little, his mental strength will have enough time to recover on its own.

What Li Shiming needs to do in the future is to spend a little time every day after practicing to strengthen the control of Wuxiangdi Liumingdian over the sky ghost.

Originally, this was not necessary, but the Sky Ghost was too special. The analysis of the natal magic weapon IBMz15 concluded that it was best to continuously strengthen the control over the Sky Ghost.

There was no need to worry about the Heavenly Ghost anymore, and his eyes looked outside the Meteor Ink Boat.

This was a rare opportunity to relax. As he was already in the Golden Core stage and was a master alchemist, he didn't believe that he would encounter any more trouble.

He thought of Yin Shilan, but unfortunately, ever since he told Yin Shilan that he had been promoted to the Golden Core stage, Yin Shilan sent back a message saying that he was going to practice in seclusion. Otherwise, he would have liked to go and see Yin Shilan.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh.

He knew why Yin Shilan was in seclusion. He and Yin Shilan had an agreement that they would become Taoist companions after they both achieved golden elixir.

Although Yin Shilan didn't say anything explicitly, he could feel the emotion in her reply.

He was in a good mood when he saw four flying boats approaching from the front. Looking at the map, this place was close to an area where cultivators gathered, so it was normal to have flying boats. So he didn't care about anything and encountered quite a few flying boats along the way.

Just as the four flying boats were approaching him, they suddenly changed direction and surrounded him.

A formation wave rose from between the four flying boats and soon covered the Meteor Ink Boat.

Li Shiming stared at the movements of the four flying boats in amazement. He used his divine sense to scan them from head to toe more than a hundred times.

The reason why he could scan more than a hundred times in a short period of time was because he used more than a hundred brains and controlled more than a hundred divine thoughts at the same time.

He wanted to see if there were any marks of curse on his body, otherwise why would he run into trouble as soon as he left the sect.

It was like a curse following him. He was a Jindan cultivator, controlling a magical flying boat, so how could he be attacked by a cultivator?

The result was naturally nothing was found. He was clean and there was no trace of the curse.

The four flying boats were definitely designed for ambushes against monks, and there were special magic arrays on them that were rarely seen on flying boats.

This made the monks on the four flying boats have ill intentions towards Li Shiming, but Li Shiming did not discover it in time.

This kind of magic array is extremely rare, at least Li Shiming has rarely seen it.

A variant of the Four-Phase Formation arranged by the four flying boats concealed the energy fluctuations in this airspace and at the same time restricted the escape of Li Shiming's Meteor Ink Boat.

When the Four-Phase Formation was set up, the spiritual power was mobilized, which destroyed the effect of the formation that could previously isolate evil spirits, allowing Li Shiming to sense the monks in the four flying boats.

There are twelve Jindan cultivators, two of whom are in the late Jindan stage, and the rest are in the early and middle Jindan stage.

These fighters are indeed very strong and can almost suppress Li Shiming's silver corpse.

However, he had no intention of using the silver corpse. The Four-Phase Formation was indeed effective, but these cultivators did not seem to know that he was also a master of formations.

Setting up a formation in front of a formation master to restrict his actions is only possible if there is also a formation master on the opposite side.

Li Shiming only needed to use his divine sense to sweep around and he discovered many flaws in the Four Phase Formation. If he wanted to break the formation, he only needed to use his divine sense to do it.

He did not do so. Instead, his several divine thoughts were sent out in a moment and guided several formation spiritual power lines to change their original positions.

When the twelve Jindan monks flew out of the flying boat and took out their respective magic weapons to attack Li Shiming, they did not know that the Four Phase Formation that surrounded Li Shiming also surrounded them.

"Who are you? Why do you want to stop me?" Li Shiming asked in a deep voice.

Before taking action, he wanted to know the other party's identity.

He doesn't have many powerful enemies in the Northern Shu Continent, and these monks are obviously not the Arhats of Qianye Temple.

"Master Li, you could have cooperated with Tianxing Trading Company, but you made the wrong choice, causing Tianxing Trading Company to suffer heavy losses. We at Tianxing Trading Company need to use your life to tell the Northern Shu Continent the consequences of offending us!" One of the two late Jindan cultivators answered his question without any scruples.

Obviously, the attacks on Tianxing Trading Company by the major sects in the Northern Shu Continent in recent times have not caused Tianxing Trading Company to disappear completely.

Moreover, Tianxing Trading Company still maintains a strong intelligence system, otherwise it would have been impossible to discover this matter as soon as Li Shiming left the sect, and it would have been impossible to intercept him here.

It was obvious that the monks from Tianxing Trading Company believed that Li Shiming had no way to escape, so they told him the truth.

Only then did Li Shiming realize that he seemed to have really offended the Tianxing Trading Company, a transcontinental trading company.

Most of Tianxing Trading Company's influence in the Northern Shu Continent was destroyed because of a piece of intelligence he provided.

No wonder Tianxing Trading Company kept chasing him and blocked him as soon as they got the chance.

He didn't have the slightest worry in his heart. Instead, the blood flow in his body quickened and a light flashed in his eyes.

He had experimented with many capabilities of his natal magic weapon IBM z15, which had indeed helped him a lot, but he had never experienced the effect of his natal magic weapon IBM z15 in actual combat.

In his mind, he issued a battle order to his life-saving magic weapon IBMz15. This time, he mobilized a hundred brains to participate in the battle, which showed that he attached great importance to this battle.

Since he is inside the Meteor Ink Boat, his defense is still good. This flying boat magic weapon has the defensive power of a top-grade defensive magic weapon, and can at least withstand several attacks from a late Jindan cultivator.

"Such a strong spiritual power reaction, be careful!" The leading late Jindan cultivator was originally preparing to use his flying sword magic weapon to launch an attack after the conversation ended.

But he sensed a strong spiritual reaction from Li Shiming. The spiritual reaction was so strong that he immediately switched to a defensive state and used all his spiritual power to inject into the defensive magic weapon.

Because Li Shiming was inside the Meteor Ink Boat, the twelve Jindan cultivators on the opposite side did not see his movements.

He did not perform any forbidden spells, nor did he use talismans that were beyond his level. Instead, he performed the third-grade single-target spell 'Taixuan Divine Thunder' among the thunder spells.

Casting the 'Taixuan Divine Thunder' once would certainly not cause a late Jindan cultivator to react like this. Each of his one hundred brains controlled his divine thoughts to cast the 'Taixuan Divine Thunder' once.

In other words, he has five golden elixirs. Otherwise, if it were other cultivators who had just reached the golden elixir stage, casting a hundred third-grade spells at once would be enough to drain all the spiritual power from the golden elixir of the early-stage golden elixir cultivator.

In a moment, the Taixuan Divine Thunder completed its preparations before being used.

In the small cabin of the Meteor Ink Boat, the light of a hundred spell patterns almost made it impossible for the bright eyes in the cabin to see anything.

As the late Jindan cultivator issued a warning, the other Jindan cultivators also sensed the terrifying spiritual power fluctuations within the flying boat magic weapon.

They would not continue to launch attacks that would result in both sides suffering losses at the first opportunity. Li Shiming had been trapped in the Four Phases Formation and could not escape. They also had the advantage in numbers and could drag Li Shiming to death.

With the advantage in hand, they only need to block Li Shiming's first round of attack. Li Shiming will not be able to launch such attacks again. Then it will be their turn to deal with Li Shiming.

The two late Jindan cultivators looked at each other, and there was doubt in their eyes.

They did not sense the power of the talisman that exploded. The strong fluctuations of thunder-attributed spiritual energy were many times stronger than any thunder-attributed spells they knew.

They did not think that Li Shiming was casting a thunder spell. In actual combat, third-grade spells had almost no possibility of being used, especially when outnumbered.

Because the lead time required to cast a third-grade spell is too long, let alone a cultivator like Li Shiming who specializes in alchemy and has just entered the golden elixir stage, even for a veteran golden elixir cultivator who has been in the golden elixir stage for hundreds of years, few people would put much effort into third-grade spells.

It’s not that third-grade spells are not powerful, but it takes hundreds of years to practice a third-grade spell to perfection, and the time and energy spent are not equal to the effect of the spell.

With this time, if you spend it on researching talismans, you can turn third-grade spells into talismans, thus achieving the effect of quick casting.

With the help of his life-saving magic weapon IBMz15, Li Shiming was able to practice a third-grade spell to the fastest theoretical casting speed.

Most importantly, his life-saving magic weapon IBMz15 gave him more available brains. One brain can only cast one spell at a time. This is not only a restriction of the rules of heaven and earth, but also the limit of what a cultivator's brain can bear.

The one hundred brains of his life-saving magic weapon IBMz15 used in battle skipped the restrictions of the rules, allowing him to cast one hundred third-grade spells at a time.

For a moment, because Tianxing Trading Company did not take action immediately but answered Li Shiming's question, Li Shiming had the advantage of taking the initiative.

Just as the twelve Jindan monks took back their magic weapons and defended with all their might, the Meteor Ink Boat burst out with brilliant magical light from the inside out.

The extremely gorgeous 'Taixuan Divine Thunder' spell pattern repeated a hundred times and exploded at the same time, creating a scene with great visual impact.

But the twelve Jindan monks had no time to appreciate the ultimate beauty of thunder attribute as one hundred lightning bolts struck them.

The lightning cast by Thunder Magic is the fastest among all spells. Unless one possesses supernatural powers, it is impossible to dodge it within the attack range.

Even if you possess supernatural powers, you must prepare them in advance so that you can use them at the drop of a hat.

It is obvious that none of the twelve Jindan cultivators here have mastered supernatural powers.

There were one hundred lightning bolts, eight lightning bolts for each of the early and middle Jindan cultivators, and the two late Jindan cultivators were given special attention, with ten lightning bolts each.

Thunder magic, which is said to be the strongest attack alongside sword magic, showed a unique style in the hands of Li Shiming. One of his thunder magic skills was almost equivalent to a hundred thunder magic skills attacking at the same time.

This is the role of the life-saving magic weapon IBMz15 in battle. It is more powerful than any other magic weapon.
