Chapter 42 The Mysterious Silk Scroll (Please read on, please vote!)
"kill!"
With a change of spell, Wang Yu unleashed a dense array of icy spikes that pierced through the entire ice coffin, turning it into a sea urchin. No matter how strong Xu Jiaojiao was, she was still made of flesh and blood.
His perfect-grade superior spell is almost at the limit of a Qi Refining cultivator. If the Ice Coffin Curse were not not a purely offensive spell, it would have a high chance of killing the opponent in one hit.
With most of his spiritual energy gone, Wang Yu quickly swallowed a top-grade spirit-restoring pill. He had also been involved in alchemy transactions over the past six months and had accumulated several bottles of first-grade top-grade pills.
The recovery speed is very fast; the consumed spiritual energy is fully restored in just a few breaths.
This is the domineering nature of the Supreme Rejuvenation Pill: its medicinal power is mild and easy to refine, and any excess medicinal power can continue to take effect for the next half hour.
At this moment, Xu Jiaojiao's body was riddled with holes, but her head, heart, and other vital points were avoided, and the ice shards did not kill her instantly.
"Wang Yu, I want you dead!"
"Boom—"
The ice coffin shattered!
As he watched in astonishment, Xu Jiaojiao's enormous body began to shrink, and wisps of black smoke with ghostly faces emerged from her wounds and seven orifices—these were the evil spirits that had been swallowed into her body!
It is similar to the ghost-summoning method of the Five Yin Peaks, but it is fundamentally different. The obese body has shrunk to the other extreme, with the skin sticking to the bones, and the body is as thin as an ancient corpse.
These ghostly black smoke particles once again clung to Xu Jiaojiao's body, forming a black armor with the ability to levitate, which then flew towards Wang Yu with its head covered.
The sheer number and variety of their methods were beyond Wang Yu's expectations; he hadn't anticipated that a cultivator in the late Qi Refining stage possessed such a wealth of techniques.
He immediately raised an ice shield spell, attempting to block Xu Jiaojiao's advance.
But then his shoulder twitched, and a mountain demon appeared, forming the character "山" (mountain). It slammed into the ice shield, shattering it and sending out a large number of scattered ice fragments.
It's another superior-grade spell from the Barbarian Ghost Peak: Mountain Shattering Strike!
With one arm controlling his qi, Wang Yu flew backward, creating space. His movements were incredibly skillful, and he narrowly avoided the attack, staying close to Xu Jiaojiao's body.
While seemingly struggling, he was actually quite adept at handling the situation. Even without using the Nine Illusionary Body Techniques, his Illusionary Steps were sufficient to deal with all battles during the Qi Refining stage.
As the opponent crashed into the ground, billowing dust and flying debris and dirt, Wang Yu quickly considered how to break the deadlock.
He had used all the techniques he knew, which could suppress but were difficult to kill with a single blow. In actual combat, he discovered his own shortcomings.
Fortunately, it was within the sect. If we really couldn't win, escaping to a crowded place would be enough to resolve the crisis, which is something to be thankful for.
However, he did not want to avoid it. He was about to leave the sect, and it was possible that Zhao Shang would deal with him personally. If he could defeat Xu Jiaojiao, who was at the eighth level of Qi Refining, at this time, it would prove that he had the strength to fight Zhao Shang, which would be of great significance.
While pondering, Wang Yu looked down at his feet in astonishment.
Two dark iron chains burst from the ground and bound his legs tightly.
"A high-grade magic weapon?"
In a flash, Xu Jiaojiao rallied again, a triumphant smile spreading across her gaunt face: "Didn't expect that, did you? My fighting skills are far superior to those of a spirit slave like you!"
"Rumble—"
Xu Jiaojiao unleashed her Mountain Shattering Strike once more, watching as her opponent charged straight at her with an unbridled and reckless attitude.
Wang Yu cast the Ice Coffin Spell, this time protecting himself within an ice coffin rather than binding his enemies.
The next instant, the two collided.
The Ice Coffin Curse's incredibly hard ice crystals took effect, and Xu Jiaojiao's Mountain Shaking Strike was far from perfect. When her strength was exhausted, only a large number of cracks remained on one side of the ice coffin.
———It's blocked!
Before Wang Yu could catch his breath, the ghost armor on Xu Jiaojiao's body suddenly transformed into a giant demon head, which opened its blood-red maw and bit down.
Click click click~
The ice coffin held on for three breaths before it shattered completely. Wang Yu fell backward, but his legs were bound to the spot by chains. The giant mouth of the ghost head closed on his chest, a close call indeed!
It was only half a foot away from being bitten in two.
The more dangerous the situation, the calmer Wang Yu became. Xu Jiaojiao's demon armor was not infinite in size; after transforming into a giant demon head, the black smoke on her body had disappeared.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Wang Yu lunged forward, his body springing up like a spring.
His right hand was covered with Yin and Corpse Qi, causing his fingernails to grow longer, and he ripped out his heart with one claw!
Wang Yu, who possesses the fragmented bones of a zombie, has zombie-like traits and immense strength, a fact unknown to anyone. Xu Jiaojiao, relying on the Barbarian Ghost Peak technique, is renowned for her physical prowess and neither dodges nor evades.
Instead, he used the same palm strike to clash head-on with Wang Yu.
Immediately following was a look of utter horror. With the collision of the two, Xu Jiaojiao's right hand was bent at a 180-degree angle, and Wang Yu grabbed her wrist tightly and pulled her close.
He tilted his head back and crashed into it!
Wang Yu's iron head struck Xu Jiaojiao's forehead, and Xu Jiaojiao was so shocked that she almost fainted. At that moment, she released her right hand and viciously pierced through Xu Jiaojiao's chest with her claw.
A small heart covered in thick, black blood appeared in Wang Yu's hand.
Forced to hang on his arm, Xu Jiaojiao vomited blood repeatedly.
The giant ghost head in mid-air rapidly weakened, splitting back into ghostly faces and black smoke, wailing incessantly.
"You...you won."
After she finished speaking, Xu Jiaojiao's life force was cut off, and all the evil spirits that were connected to her life also disappeared.
With a complicated expression, Wang Yu put the corpse into his storage bag. The high-grade magic weapon chain wrapped around his feet was also a spoil of war, which he carefully put away.
Killing Xu Jiaojiao means that his relationship with Deacon Xu has evolved into a feud over the murder of his daughter. Although the other party is being held in the Law Enforcement Hall, he will eventually be released.
After all, he was the victim. No matter how domineering the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect was, they wouldn't kill him. They would just lock him up for a while longer. The sect's order and rules were essentially what the upper echelons needed, so they would naturally maintain them.
We will not allow the law to lose its authority for the sake of petty gains.
For Wang Yu, this meant the addition of a formidable enemy at the Foundation Establishment stage, which was not good news, making leaving the sect imperative.
With this in mind, Wang Yu checked Xu Jiaojiao's storage bag while heading towards the agreed location.
That inner disciple of Heavenly Corpse Peak betrayed him, so he'll have to go and have a serious talk with him.
While inspecting Xu Jiaojiao's storage bag, they found that it contained many ordinary items, nearly two thousand spirit stones, and a large quantity of various pills, making her a genuinely wealthy woman.
There were also several jade slips and magical artifacts, which described the methods of manipulation and their effects.
The superior magical artifact, the Netherworld Iron Chain, has the effect of separating and binding. It can be extended up to 100 meters and can be divided into three. It also has a slight inhibitory effect on spiritual power.
After Wang Yu personally experienced it, he found that the suppression of spiritual power was almost non-existent, while the binding effect was excellent.
Xu Jiaojiao is extremely aggressive, and this top-grade magic weapon is a perfect match for her; it has now become his spoils of war.
The other magical artifacts are relatively weak, mostly of medium quality.
The net and the whip are useless to Wang Yu; they can be disposed of and given to the Ice and Snow Pavilion later.
Of all the gains, there was one thing that particularly caught Wang Yu's attention.
It is a mysterious silk scroll.
The black paper with blood-written characters was clearly a demonic artifact, but unfortunately, it was written in ancient demonic script, which he did not recognize.
