Hide in the world of gods and demons

Chapter 192 Killing (Part 1)

The entire battle was short but intense.

First, use an illusion to attract attention.

The other two illusions and the real body remained hidden to the side and began casting spells.

What followed was a fierce and relentless attack.

"Flash spell," meaning blindness.

"Earthshaking Technique" refers to control.

"True Fire Technique" - Kill.

The three spells were unleashed one after another, like mercury spilling onto the ground, with almost no gaps, directly stunning and killing a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, who didn't even have the slightest power to resist.

In a one-on-one fight, Xiao Changyi's strength would not be so poor, but facing such a meticulously planned ambush, even if it happened a hundred times more, the outcome would be the same.

The jet of flames turned the surrounding area red-hot, and some areas directly exposed to the flames had melted, emitting billowing blue smoke and a pungent odor.

Chen Li used his X-ray vision to quickly scan his surroundings, but couldn't find the storage bag. He guessed it had been burned in the flames. Fortunately, the magical artifact was still there. He reached out and swept up the flying sword that was half-buried in the lava, storing it in the storage bag.

The surrounding area was a scene of ruins and desolation.

Faint, suppressed groans and heavy, terrified breathing could be heard coming from the ruins.

There were clearly many people alive under the rubble, but they dared not make a sound or even look in this direction, for fear of being discovered and silenced. They could only play dead.

Chen Li shook his head, not daring to linger here. The huge commotion just now meant that it wouldn't be long before the Fire Cloud Sect's enforcers arrived.

He used an invisibility spell and quickly disappeared from the spot.

He ran as fast as he could.

Not long after, they returned to the courtyard.

Chen Li removed his mask and black clothes, threw them into his storage bag, and restored his appearance.

"No one should have noticed!"

The Illusionary Body Technique is a replication of oneself; whatever one looks like before the spell is cast, that's what the illusionary body will look like afterward!

Before setting off, he deliberately disguised himself and changed his clothes. On the way, he also spent a lot of spiritual energy to cast spells again, gradually replacing the several illusory bodies that had set off earlier. All of this was to conceal his tracks.

Chen Li was already very skilled and experienced in doing these things.

"Unfortunately, the storage bag couldn't be found."

The thought of this made Chen Li feel a pang of heartache.

This is the legacy of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator; there are countless valuable items inside.

This was the first time Chen Li had ever seen a storage bag damaged, and it was the first time he had done it himself.
"After the storage bag was burned, I don't know where the contents went. They're probably no longer in this time and space."

"Fortunately, the biggest threat has been dealt with." Chen Li looked next door and sneered inwardly, "Next it's your turn, but don't rush, let's see how things go tomorrow. Anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities."

Without that late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, the rest are no longer a threat!

……

"What? Senior brother didn't come back all night?" Lin Qing was struck dumb upon hearing the news: "No... that shouldn't be the case, he went back very early last night."

The next day, it was still dark.

Xiao Changyi's wife, Feng Min, rushed over to Lin Qing. Her usually serene face was now filled with worry: "Think again, where might he go? I hope nothing bad has happened to him."

"Sister-in-law, don't worry! With Senior Brother's strength, nothing bad will happen to him. He's probably gone to visit some other junior brothers. Just wait patiently, he should be back before noon." Lin Qing quickly reassured him, but his heart sank, a bad premonition creeping in. If it were anyone else, he might suspect they'd gone to brothels or gambling dens for the night.

But my senior brother is an upright and self-disciplined man. He and his sister-in-law have always been loving and respectful to each other. He doesn't even have a concubine, and he never touches these things.

But such a grown person has simply vanished. Even if something had happened, it's impossible for them to not return home overnight.

Lin Qing became increasingly uneasy as he thought about it. He tried to persuade Feng Min to leave after a few more words. He then quickly activated the formation and prepared to go back to his room to pack his luggage and stay at an inn for a few days to observe the situation.

They had just entered, and were about to close the array passage when...

Suddenly, a figure flashed in.

Before he could react.

Accompanied by a sharp, piercing whistle.

A sword pierced his heart in an instant, its terrifying speed turning nearby internal organs into a bloody pulp, rendering the robe's inherent defenses completely useless.

"You... Fellow Daoist Chen... you, cough cough..." Lin Qing looked at Chen Li with a look of fear. As soon as he opened his mouth, he coughed up blood, which was mixed with some fragments of internal organs.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, what excellent acting skills you have!" Chen Li drew his sword and sneered, "I almost fell for your trick. You guessed right, I really am a member of the True Rejuvenation Sect."

"It's a misunderstanding...cough cough..." Lin Qing tried to back away while quickly reaching for the magical artifact at his waist.

However, I haven't even touched it yet.

The next moment, he felt a blur before his eyes, and with a loud bang, his chest was kicked hard and sent flying more than ten meters away. The crisp sound of bones cracking rang out one after another. In an instant, countless bones were broken. He rolled several times and lay stiffly on the ground like a corpse, his chest severely caved in, blood gushing from his mouth, and his whole body convulsing.

Chen Li stepped forward and stomped on his shrunken chest, applying slight pressure. The broken bones inside his chest cavity rubbed together, making a chilling cracking sound: "Weren't there five of you in your group back then? Who was the other one?"

Lin Qing coughed up a mouthful of blood, his eyes bulging with blood, and he laughed maniacally, "Hahaha, I curse..."

When Lin Qing uttered the curse, Chen Li keenly sensed a faint fluctuation of magical power rising up, clearly indicating that he was preparing to unleash some kind of curse technique before his death.

"court death!"

Chen Li's expression turned cold, and he instantly raised his foot and stomped down hard on the man's head.

There was a "boom".

His head was crushed by being stepped on.
Brain matter, broken bones, and blood were splattered all over the ground, and the surrounding area was a mess.

The headless corpse convulsed a few times before gradually losing consciousness.

Chen Li looked down at himself, frowned, and exhaled his inner energy to cleanse himself of blood and flesh. He then cast a spell to dispel evil before squatting down to carefully search himself. He found a storage bag, a control token for an array, and a flying sword that he estimated to be of high-grade second rank.

Besides.

Inside the belt, Chen Li also found several packets of medicine powder.

Judging from its appearance, it must be some kind of poison.

Chen Li glanced at it and then tossed it aside, showing no interest whatsoever.

Next, he went to Lin Qing's house, but unfortunately there was nothing of value inside. He looked around and then returned.

The body could not be left here; it had to be disposed of.

Fortunately, Chen Li has experience in this area.

You can freeze them with Frost Magic or ignite them with Fire Magic.

He thought about it and decided that using the Frost Spell was more appropriate, as the latter was too noisy.

A few minutes later, the corpse had completely disappeared, crushed into fine powder and mixed with the surrounding soil, buried deep underground. After doing all this, he put away the magic array here and quickly left the courtyard.
