I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

But while avoiding.

The force of Wei Tu's punch remained undiminished.

At the moment when Pei Hong's sneak attack failed, his right fist had already smashed into the abdomen of the Lord of Bliss like a cannonball, penetrated through his dantian and tore apart the Lord of Bliss's body.

However, unfortunately, due to the slight difference in Pei Hong's rescue effort, the Nascent Soul of the Lord of Bliss narrowly avoided the grasp of his right palm, and escaped in a bloody escape at the cost of the loss of his left arm.

"Escaped!" The Lord of Bliss felt relieved, with a look of relief on his face for surviving the calamity.

This time, if he hadn't carried the real body of "Senior Pei" with him, and had really fought Wei Tu alone, even if his split soul hadn't been captured, it would have been difficult for him to escape from Wei Tu.

There is no other reason. Those who practice both magic and body have almost no weaknesses, and they can basically crush practitioners of the same level.

What's more, Wei Tu is still playing the pig and eating the tiger.

However, before the relief on his face lasted long, he saw a faint light suddenly whizzing in from behind his head and piercing into his Nascent Soul body.

Immediately, an unconcealable pain burst out from his soul. Under this dim light, his soul was constantly being annihilated and dissolved. In just a few moments, more than half of it was destroyed.

At this moment, he also saw the true form of this faint light—a black iron nail surrounded by mysterious Taoist patterns.

"A fifth-level soul treasure?"

The Lord of Bliss was shocked beyond words. He could not imagine where Wei Tu got this precious soul item. Its value was much more precious than the [Green-faced Turtle Shell] that Wei Tu was wearing now.

But soon, he realized something, because he had seen this fifth-level soul magic treasure in the soul memory of "Wei Zhongliang".

He was extremely familiar with this memory.

Because what he saw as an opportunity to make further progress and to escape the control of the Mist Ghost Clan was right there.

"This is the fifth-level spiritual treasure that Ding Le was trying to steal in the Weaponry Hall of the Zunwang Palace... Ding Le was being killed by Wei Tu... Are you Wei Tu? No! Who are you?"

"Weitu can't possibly have this strength."

The Lord of Bliss cried out in horror. He finally understood why Wei Tu had been targeting him.

The reason was very simple, because he, like Feng Yuan, knew the secret of the existence of the secret realm of the Zunwang Palace in the Da Cang cultivation world.

In order to keep this secret sealed only in the Da Cang cultivation world, Wei Tu, the second incarnation of the Da Cang cultivation world, took action against him.

This also explains why Wei Tu was able to leap from a quasi-god-transformation realm to a master of god-transformation realm in just two hundred years.

This is not because he is gifted or has extraordinary talent, but because he is originally a Divine Transformation Venerable, and a Divine Transformation Venerable with considerable strength.

Otherwise, Ding Lezheng would not have been easily defeated in the battle two hundred years ago.

But unfortunately... the power of the God-Destroying Nail was too strong. When he was about to speak, his soul had already been damaged for the most part, and the sound was obliterated into nothingness.

"No! Since you want to kill me, I will never let you off easily."

The Lord of Bliss roared in his heart. He tried his best, using the last bit of his strength, to pass on the message so that Pei Hong outside could hear it.

He believed that as long as Pei Hong got the news, he would do everything he could to kill Wei Tu and avenge him.

But just as he was squeezing his soul with a thought of revenge, compressing the last remaining consciousness into a line and transmitting it to Pei Hong, he suddenly discovered that the area within a hundred steps around him had been firmly blocked by Wei Tu's magic power.

This weak line of spiritual consciousness could not penetrate the prison in front of him at all. Just when it was half a step away from him, it was instantly crushed into powder by Wei Tu's magic power.

The Lord of Bliss was in complete despair.

Not only was his realm of strength not as good as Wei Tu's, but even his calculations before death were far inferior to Wei Tu's, and he was crushed by Wei Tu in all aspects.

This is more helpless than dying as a fool.

There was a loud "bang" sound.

Above the clouds, as the [God-Breaking Nail] continued to penetrate deeper, the half-damaged Nascent Soul of the Lord of Bliss finally could not hold on any longer. His soul was annihilated in an instant, and his Nascent Soul body exploded instantly.

Waves of magical power gushed out, causing the concentration of spiritual energy in the surrounding area of ​​hundreds of miles to rise by several levels, reaching the level of a fifth-level spiritual land.

All this happened extremely quickly. From Pei Hong's sneak attack on Wei Tu to the death of Jile Shenhou, less than a breath of time passed.

Therefore, when Pei Hong realized that he had failed in assassinating Wei Tu, the life of Lord Ji Le had already ended.

"Very good, very good. A mere cultivator from the lower realms, not only managed to escape the attack of this Saint Son at this critical moment, but also took the opportunity to kill Ji Le..."

Pei Hong's figure stopped, and he stared coldly at Wei Tu who was a hundred steps away from him, and laughed in anger.

Just now, he clearly saw all the actions of Wei Tu in his battle with the Lord of Bliss, including the magical restrictions he had set up to isolate the Lord of Bliss's consciousness - but unfortunately, seeing it does not mean that he can react and defeat the enemy in turn.

Although Wei Tu, who was a fifth-level body refiner, was still inferior to him in strength, and was even far inferior to him after he used some forbidden methods...but in terms of reaction speed, he was already far behind Wei Tu in his split soul state.

Body training not only strengthens the cultivator's physique, but also improves his reaction speed.

This is also the fundamental reason why Wei Tu was able to dodge his fatal blow and take the opportunity to kill the Lord of Bliss.

"In addition, this person, like Jiang Lingzi, has innate spiritual pupils..." Pei Hong's face was grim, and his eyes were fixed on the center of Wei Tu's eyebrows.

At this moment, a green light flashed between Wei Tu's eyebrows, and a strange inverted demon pupil was watching his every move.

If he guessed correctly, it was this green demonic eye that had just detected his figure, allowing Wei Tu to narrowly avoid his fatal attack.

"But that's all. This Saint Son must eliminate this trouble from now on. We must not let him ascend to the upper realm like the descending spirit and become a big trouble for my Fog Ghost Clan."

Pei Hong took a deep breath, and a vague black-robed figure emerged from the void, gradually solidifying and revealing his true appearance.

Immediately, a red-haired man with dark mist wrapped around his body appeared in front of Wei Tu. He looked similar to a human, but the ten fingers on his hands were dark blue with sharp claws, like the legendary ghosts.

But this true body was not particularly surprising to Wei Tu. After all, he had seen the appearance of the Mist Ghost clan in Cao Dingxiong's mind when he searched his soul several years ago.

"Fellow Daoist Linggu, what should I do now? Can you help me avoid his pursuit?"

Wei Tu narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking of retreating. He secretly made hand gestures, burned the essence and blood of his Nascent Soul, and prepared for a blood escape. At the same time, he sent a message to ask the ghost soul to analyze the battle situation.

Long before the war, in order to be prepared for any eventuality, he had asked Jiang Lingzi about Pei Hong's strength, but the answer he got was unknown.

Jiang Lingzi also had no idea to what extent Pei Hong's soul had grown in the human world.

However, according to Jiang Lingzi's analysis, due to the restrictions of the rules of the world in the human world, it is difficult for Pei Hong's split soul to surpass the great cultivation of the Spirit Transformation Realm. At most, it is at the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

In fact, due to the lack of a suitable physical body, his normal strength is weaker than that of an average late-stage Jindan cultivator.

However, this was only his normal strength. If he used some forbidden methods from the spirit world... even if he was facing a great master of the spirit transformation realm, he would probably die accidentally.

Therefore, after dealing with the Lord of Bliss, when facing Pei Hong alone, Wei Tu's first thought was to escape.

However, Pei Hong was not an ordinary cultivator and his escape speed was astonishingly fast. If he fled hastily - when the "Hun'e Evil Eye" was not staring at him, he would reveal a fatal flaw.

"No, there's no need to run."

The next moment, an answer that surprised Wei Tu sounded in his ears.

"What, no need to escape?"

Wei Tu was secretly surprised, he had no confidence of winning against Pei Hong, and the only benefit of killing Pei Hong for him would be to gain merit from the human race in the spiritual world.

And this merit... can only be used after he ascends to heaven. There is no need to risk his life at this moment.

No matter how great the wealth is, you still need a life to get it.

"This youngster of the Mist Ghost Clan is indeed considered powerful in your place. But in my place, it is not worth mentioning."

The ghost soul smiled faintly.

As he finished speaking, the lips of the "Five Elements Infant" in which the ghost spirit resided moved slightly.

The next moment, Pei Hong, who had just revealed his true identity, suddenly changed his expression, and a look of pain appeared on his face. With a "puff", a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

“Is it the magical power of incantations?” Seeing this familiar scene, Wei Tu suddenly understood and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The power of incantations is the only means of attack he knows of now, which can be used against the ghost soul trapped by his restrictions.

It is also his most secret magical skill.

He had been hit by this trick before and was almost killed. If he hadn't had the golden and purple destiny in his sea of ​​consciousness and hadn't cleared the gray fog in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.

However, what puzzled him a little was that he remembered that the intensity of the gray mist he faced was at most at the level of the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm. With Pei Hong's strength, it shouldn't be that difficult to resist the gray mist...

——While the rules of heaven and earth in the human world restrict the strength of Pei Hong’s soul, they naturally also restrict the strength of Youshen’s soul.

What's more, the ghost soul was just summoned by him as a five-element infant at the quasi-god level. According to the level of power, its strength would not suddenly increase so much.

Otherwise, why would he go through so much trouble to organize the Great Yan cultivation world's God Transformation Alliance to eradicate the Lord of Bliss... Wouldn't it be easier to take the Ghost God's soul with him?

"It's the physique of the fog ghosts. These fog ghosts are different from you humans. Their bodies are pitifully weak."

The ghost soul seemed to see Wei Tu's confusion, smiled slightly, and began to explain immediately.

"The spell of secret art cannot penetrate the body of a cultivator and attack the sea of ​​consciousness at will. For example, if you were at the fifth level of body refinement before, with my strength, it would be difficult for me to penetrate your physical barrier and perform this art..."

The ghost soul added.

At this point, the ghost soul seemed to ask Wei Tu unintentionally what method he used to break through his several spell and secret technique attacks.

"It's a secret."

Wei Tu narrowed his eyes slightly, not being fooled, and revealed the existence of the "Golden Purple Fate".

He did not forget that his cooperation with the ghost god's soul was only temporary, and after he ascended, it would be a matter of time before they broke down.

"Wen Tianqi, this Saint will remember you..."

At this time, Pei Hong, who was hit by the secret spell, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fear appeared in his eyes. He looked at Wei Tu deeply, then he escaped with a flash of light, turning into a black rainbow.

He is the holy son of the Mist Ghost Clan in the spiritual world. He is well-informed and knows that with this kind of soul-directed magical power, the farther the distance, the less damage will be inflicted.

As long as you escape from Wei Tu, the gray fog in your sea of ​​consciousness will decrease accordingly.

"Don't chase a desperate enemy." The ghost soul stopped in time and did not let Wei Tu go to chase and kill him. After all, Pei Hong was very powerful. If he was really forced into a corner, it would be uncertain whether Wei Tu could save his life.

"Don't worry, I have already used my magical power of spells to plant a soul imprint in his sea of ​​consciousness. He can't escape my perception."

"When you reunite with Jiang Lingzi, the credit will still be yours."

The ghostly spirit splits into two and speaks again.

Hearing this, Wei Tu nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

If Pei Hong was in the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, or was a high-level Spiritual Transformation Realm cultivator who escaped after being seriously injured, it would be okay for him to chase and kill this beast, because their respective methods were still within an understandable range.

Hunting down the soul of the lower world of the great Lianxu master...

There is no need for that.

Being able to save one's life is already a great fortune.

At this moment, Tianmei Xuenu, who had escaped from the Ghost King, also arrived slowly.

She witnessed Pei Hong's escape with her own eyes, and heard the harsh words that this "Senior Lianxu" uttered to Wei Tu.

"How is that possible?" She was so astonished that her mouth opened wide enough to swallow a whole duck egg.

She had expected that Wei Tu, who had been given special treatment by Jiang Lingzi, would be very powerful, but she had never thought that he was so powerful that while he was able to deal with the Marquis of Bliss, he would also scare away Pei Hong, a powerful man from the upper realm.

"Master...is your body okay? Do you need my help to heal your wounds?" Suppressing all distracting thoughts in her heart, Tianmei Xuenu flew to Wei Tu and bowed slightly with a blushing face.

After witnessing Li Guiwang's "betrayal" of her with her own eyes, her inner loyalty has now leaned extremely towards Wei Tu, and is no longer simply controlled by her subconscious.

As long as we are human, there will be powerful people.

In terms of strength, age, and potential, the current Wei Tu is far ahead of the dying Li Guiwang.

"No need."

Wei Tu waved his hand, indicating that he was fine. Then, he used his magic power to clear away the blood of the Bliss God Marquis on his body, and used the power of physical regeneration to restore the cervical vertebra that was broken when he was avoiding Pei Hong's sudden attack.

After doing all this, his breath was still the same, without much attenuation. It was obvious that he did not suffer much damage in the previous battle. Apart from the threat from Pei Hong, it could only be regarded as a warm-up battle, not a life-and-death battle.

"Why did you go against the battle plan and suddenly come to me?" Wei Tu asked Tianmei Xue Nu about the business.

According to the plan, only after Tianmei Xuenu, Jincan Xuenu, and Jiang Lingzi work together to eliminate Li Guiwang, can they feel support from other battlefields.

"It was Xu Lang... Ghost King Li who took the initiative to reveal that Pei Hong's true body was not with him. I was worried about... Fellow Daoist Wen, so I gave up the battle and came here."

Tianmei Xuenu looked hesitant and replied.

"Abandoning the war to come here?" Upon hearing this, Wei Tu couldn't help but take a serious look at Tianmei Xuenu, and his impression of this woman changed a lot.

Abandoning the fight and fleeing, but directly disobeying the order of Jiang Lingzi, a senior in the spiritual world, is not an easy task.

Moreover, this woman had originally helped Jiang Lingzi eliminate the gods in the Ghost Shadow Palace, and had made contributions to the human race in the spiritual world. She would surely be rewarded after the war...but now that she has deserted the battlefield, not only has she achieved nothing, but she is also very likely to be guilty.

After the war, Jiang Lingzi might hold Tianmei Xuenu accountable for this matter.

But... this incident will not only lead to Tianmei Xuenu being punished, but his trust in Jiang Lingzi may also be greatly reduced.

"Don't worry! I will help you to intercede with Senior Jiang Lingzi." Wei Tu smiled slightly, hiding his worries in his heart, and comforted Tianmei Xuenu. (End of this chapter)
