I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World
Chapter 390 - 352: Cocooning Oneself (Extra for 2,100 Monthly Yue Tickets in January)
The Ghost Clan’s advantage lies in their immortality. Qing Nangzi, being a Medical Cultivator, has countless life-saving techniques, and he is also blessed with Water Thunder.
At the Golden Core Peak, Jiang Yuebai can’t do anything to him for the moment.
Recollecting the Ancient Times, the war generals of the Ghost Clan cost the Human and Demon Clans countless efforts from Great Powers before they managed to suppress and seal them in the Secret Realm.
Jiang Yuebai can’t help but wonder at this moment, can Qing Nangzi truly not be killed and must be sealed instead?
With a fierce shout from Qing Nangzi, the most sinister and wicked Water Thunder transformed into a giant python, hissing as it lunged forward.
Jiang Yuebai, feeling weak and poisoned, was powerless to resist, holding the Saint’s Poems as a trump card, preparing to unleash it.
At the critical moment, the Sword Sky shook the heavens, and the Black Dog Huo Dou, cloaked in flames, howled continuously.
The ethereal Sword Intent appeared out of nowhere, just like back in Yinfeng Creek, when the Gale Sword Intent broke apart the Ghost King.
The Water Thunder snake was cut in half by the Gale Sword Intent. Xie Jingshan, clothes tattered and bloodied, rushed up from below, firmly standing before Jiang Yuebai.
Jiang Yuebai looked up at the silhouette against the light, and Xie Jingshan slightly turned his head.
"Don’t worry, I’m here..."
"This trip’s at a loss, I must... raise the fee..."
After speaking, Jiang Yuebai quickly gave Xie Jingshan a meaningful glance, then fainted accordingly.
Even though Xie Jingshan received Jiang Yuebai’s hint, he couldn’t help but tremble in spirit, quickly moving forward to hold her, pulling out a medicine bottle to take the medicine.
Seeing this, Qing Nangzi waved his hand and launched a blood blade, sending the medicine bottle in Xie Jingshan’s hand flying.
"Master!"
Shen Huaxi suddenly appeared in mid-air, stumbling slightly with dizziness.
"The Great Array is about to begin. You can’t delay any longer."
Just as Shen Huaxi finished speaking, columns of red light erupted from various array points outside Four Feathers Mountain, turning the night into a bloody scene.
The Yin wind howled, the temperature in a hundred-mile radius dropped abruptly, breath turning to ice.
Qing Nangzi frowned, flipping his hand to release a dark glow directly at Xie Jingshan.
Xie Jingshan sensed it, turned, and swung his sword.
However, for some reason, his organs trembled, spitting out a mouthful of blood, the Sword Aura swerving, and the dark glow struck his Dantian, sealing all his Cultivation.
With blood in his mouth, Xie Jingshan looked unbelievably at the sword in his hand, then at Jiang Yuebai, whom he was supporting with one hand.
Qing Nangzi smiled sinisterly, gazing deeply at Shen Huaxi, his threat evident, "Watch them well, this is your last chance from me!"
"Have no worries, Master!"
Shen Huaxi flicked his wide sleeves, and three Extraordinary People Yin Ghosts appeared again, holding long spears aimed at Xie Jingshan and Jiang Yuebai.
Under the blood-red sky, complex runes were sketched out, Qing Nangzi couldn’t wait any longer, he soared into the air, rushing towards the blood-red runes.
"Jiang Yuebai, wake up, Jiang Yuebai!"
Xie Jingshan continued his act, shaking Jiang Yuebai. He had missed on purpose because of her, she was pretending to be unconscious to deceive Qing Nangzi.
Jiang Yuebai was helpless as well; since she couldn’t defeat him, she had to find a way to escape.
Qing Nangzi’s poison acted so quickly and fiercely, but what he didn’t know was that aside from the Cloud Mushroom Grass, her bloodline also contained characteristics of other plants and trees.
Especially the Undying Vine’s trait, which even if afflicted with severe plant toxins, couldn’t kill her, as long as her vitality wasn’t completely severed, she had a chance to recover.
Moreover, Qing Nangzi administered the poison quite subtly, aiming to leave her half-dead rather than completely kill her.
Given Xie Jingshan’s special identity, Qing Nangzi did not finish them off, just tasked Shen Huaxi to watch them.
The cries of ghosts and wolves echoed through the mountains and forests, the blood-red runes in the sky were about to take shape.
Shen Huaxi glanced at the sky, then at Xie Jingshan and Jiang Yuebai, ignoring them, and continued to look up.
Within Four Feathers Mountain, the Extraordinary People of Iron Feather Country anxiously watched the sky, under orders from the Mountain Master, to stay in the village no matter what happened tonight.
Maque stood at the highest point of the village, eyeing the blood runes in the sky, trembling with tension.
Outside Four Feathers Mountain, the people from various villages stepped out, looking up at the sky with puzzlement.
Birds scattered, a dark mass escaping from beneath the blood-red sky, wild beasts in the forest roared in terror, the eerie and oppressive atmosphere sent chills down their spines.
"What’s happening, it’s so cold, colder than winter."
"I don’t know, is the Fufeng Mountain Master setting up some kind of Array?"
"Mom, look, it’s snowing, red snowflakes."
Bright red snowflakes fluttered all around, unknowing children of the Extraordinary People held out their hands to catch the snow, eyes filled with curiosity and glee.
"This feels off, should we step back a little?"
"Fufeng Mountain Master wouldn’t harm us, right?"
"An ordinary Great Array wouldn’t have such heavy Yin Qi, something’s definitely wrong, run, run now!"
Someone realized, immediately picking up their child, leaving everything behind, running towards the edge of the Array, chaos erupted outside Four Feathers Mountain.
Rumble!
The ground shook, mountains swayed, people running fell, villages collapsed, children cried, the crowd screamed.
Under the blood-red sky, eerie runes took shape, resembling a terrifying giant ghostly head, malevolently grinning at the world.
Qing Nangzi stood beneath the runes, spreading his arms, looking at the scrambling Extraordinary People below like ants, letting out deep sinister laughter.
"Come, help me achieve greatness!"
The runes began moving clockwise, a powerful suction stirring up storms, pulling everything on the ground into the air.
"Mom! Save me!"
"Help us, hurry!"
In desperation, parents clung to their children being pulled into the air, stones and branches around being sucked into the sky, scarlet lights rising from their bodies.
The ears filled with helpless cries for help, Xie Jingshan clenched his fists in despair, Jiang Yuebai continued gathering strength.
The pervasive blood light converged around Qing Nangzi, entwining into a cocoon, tightly linking him to the gigantic grim blood runes, inseparably.
"Heh~"
A light chuckle came from Shen Huaxi, Xie Jingshan turned his head, seeing his eyes filled with ridicule, even a hint of pity.
Yet Shen Huaxi’s eyes were fixed on Qing Nangzi high in the sky, ridiculing him, pitying him as well.
Shen Huaxi raised his hand, placing fingers in his mouth, suddenly blowing.
The shrill whistle echoed through the mountains and forests, Maque, waiting for the signal, his expression shifted from gloom to cheerfulness, eyes flickering with brilliance, throat moving, emitting clear and excited bird calls.
One call fell, another rose, ceaselessly reverberating.
In an instant, bird calls sounded throughout all of Iron Feather Country.
Several black pillars of light shot into the sky from special positions, suddenly disrupting the original setup of the Great Array.
Airwaves blasted, in the high sky, the gigantic blood runes shook, suddenly starting to rotate in reverse.
Qing Nangzi, shocked, looked down, trying to break free but found himself already merged with the runes, blood vessels connected.
This Great Array was an ancient Ghost Clan array, Qing Nangzi knew well its immense strength, once started, it couldn’t be stopped.
Yet now, the Array was being reversed.
In a normal spin, he would devour the life’s blood and achieve a Blood Spirit Body.
In reverse, he would be devoured, achieving that for others!
Qing Nangzi, horrified and in shock, his body surged with power, turning into a monstrous Blood Sea enveloping the entire Four Feathers Mountain, within the Blood Sea, thousands of ghosts roared, chilling to the bone.
"Shen Huaxi, aren’t you afraid that I will kill you?!"
Shen Huaxi leisurely, unhurriedly tidied his sleeves.
"Huaixi, Huaixi, this name is the only thing my extraordinary father left me, do you even deserve to use it?"
The Array reversed, the blood Qi absorbed from Qing Nangzi gathered one by one behind Shen Huaxi, forming skeletal wings, growing feathers red as blood, ever fuller.
Shen Huaxi raised his head, wearing a usual mild smile, slowly spoke to Qing Nangzi who couldn’t escape from the Array,
"Master, when you broke my wings those years ago, did you ever think that today, I would personally take it back from you?"
