Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 293 Is this what you expected?
Gong Xuan actually stepped aside as soon as the battle began.

Although he wanted to help, Li Guang's words were true; in this battlefield crisscrossed by sword energy, there was indeed little he and Jiang Jinyue could do.

While his sixth-level cultivation was already renowned in the martial arts world, upon closer examination, how could he possibly compare to the Star Pointer?
Gong Xuan could manage to deal with most of the deputy generals, but he was by no means able to handle them with ease.

After all, they had fought against General Zhou before, and the outcome wasn't pleasant.

The people engaged in the fierce battle had no time to pay attention to his and Jiang Jinyue's presence.

Jiang Jinyue was controlled by others and was also Li Guang's adopted daughter, so the generals in the General's Mansion deliberately avoided her when they fought.

Gong Xuan was completely ignored.

No one paid him any attention, and no one thought he could have any impact on this dangerous battle.

So, Gongxuan quietly found a secluded corner.

His gaze swept quickly across the chaotic battlefield, and he solemnly took out a talisman from his robes.

He never intended to run away.

He had long ago possessed the means to temporarily enhance his cultivation level.

That is the way to invite the ancestral master to descend!

He had already planned to use this method when dealing with General Zhou, but Lin Jiang had already eaten everything, so he didn't use it.

His master had taught him a talisman to communicate with the patriarch in his early years, but to be honest, Gong Xuan was not sure whether that thing was actually from the patriarch. However, the method was strong enough, so he felt that he could treat the other party as the patriarch.

Gong Xuan bit his fingertip and wrote the diagram he already knew by heart on the talisman. Then he used his Qi to infuse the method into it.

As true qi flowed in continuously, Gong Xuan suddenly felt a sharp stinging pain throughout his meridians.

He was prepared for this.

If he were to use a more advanced technique with his current level of cultivation, it would inevitably cause a backlash. Before he followed Lin Jiang, when he used this move to save his life, he would often spit out blood. Now, it's better that way.

Sensing something looking down from the sky, Gongxuan channeled all his Qi into the talisman.

"Please, Master, descend!"

Upon hearing his sudden shout, the several fighters who were engaged in battle instantly snapped back to their senses. One of the adjutants who was besieging Liang Huashan casually pulled out a willow leaf from his waist and threw it at Gong Xuan.

As the leaf swept across the ground, the hard rocks and soil were torn apart by the heavy wind. Even a single leaf displayed the power to open up mountains!
If this object were to strike Gongxuan, he would be severely injured, if not killed!

However, the leaf had not flown far when a dark color suddenly appeared around it, instantly enveloping the leaf and turning it into a drop of deep ink, which fell to the ground.

With a deafening roar, the ground exploded into a pile of soil ten feet high where it fell, spraying everywhere like a fine, sharp rain.

Liang Huashan lightly touched his brush, glancing coldly at the adjutant:

"These petty tricks are not enough to deal with me, yet you dare to be distracted here?"

The adjutant's face was solemn. He was about to take out another item from his bosom and throw it when he saw that his fingertips had turned into pitch-black ink and flowed out in torrents.

He was terrified and hurriedly circulated his Qi and used his Body Transformation Technique to avoid having his limbs dismembered.

With no one paying attention to Gong Xuan's side, he simply tossed the talisman into the air.

A flash of deep light appeared beside him, and a phantom instantly materialized next to him.

The figure was ethereal and blurry, with only the Taoist's attire vaguely discernible.

With his tall stature and crown, he could attract attention simply by standing there.

He turned his head to look at Gong Xuan, his expression unreadable, as if he were waiting for his command.

The intense pain caused Gong Xuan to cough twice, and a spurt of blood gushed from his mouth, splashing onto the ground.

He wiped his mouth, estimating that he could hold on for about five more breaths after the patriarch started moving.

Look around.

Who should we support?

A vague premonition arose in my heart.

It's either Old Zhao or Lin Jiang.

Choose Lin Jiang!
"I would be grateful if the patriarch could come to my aid!"

After speaking, the Taoist priest, who was in the shape of a ball of light, simply pointed forward.

Gong Xuan moved.

He dashed out like a puppet on strings, arriving beside Lin Jiang in an instant.

The general who clashed with Lin Jiang was instantly dumbfounded: No, you invited the ancestral master, but the ancestral master controlled you?

Is something wrong?

Even though his mind was blank, he still instinctively drew his gun.

The spear tip, originally aimed at the throat, shifted slightly and fell towards the shoulder.

Once the burden is removed from the shoulder, the opponent will find it difficult to move.

Lin Jiang reached out to block for Gong Xuan, but Gong Xuan gave him a look and whispered:

"Illusory Realm".

As the two worked together for a longer period of time, Lin Jiang immediately understood that Gong Xuan wanted him to use the Illusion Mirror.

A slight tremor ran through him. After a moment's thought, he finally decided to trust Gong Xuan and then closed his eyes to regulate his breathing.

Just then, the spear pierced Gong Xuan's body.

However, instead of bleeding from the wound, a cluster of flowers bloomed, their colorful petals scattering and falling in all directions.

The flowers, like splattered drops of scarlet blood, instantly obscured the general's vision.

The general was not surprised at all. Those at the sixth level of the Heavenly Realm were already attempting to break through to the Star Point Realm, so it was not surprising that they were proficient in the three methods.

He immediately thrust his spear forward, imbuing the tip with chaotic energy, intending to use the momentum to disarm Gong Xuan.

But then he heard a shrill scream, and upon closer listening, he realized that it did not come from the Taoist priest in front of him, but from... the weapon in his own hand!
Looking down, he saw that his old companion of many years was now twisted into a ring, with the upper part of the gun barrel coiled like an iron ring. Upon closer inspection, it looked just like a broken iron ring that a naughty country boy would play with.

The general's expression suddenly changed.

Although the weapon in his hand was not a top-tier treasure, it had been with him for many years and contained some extraordinary skill.

As a result, it was twisted and deformed by a method created by someone from the Sixth Heaven.

hiss--

In that moment of distraction, the general suddenly realized that a misty fog had begun to spread around him.

Looking up, one could see that Lin Jiang was completely enveloped in a layer of misty fog.

This is bad! He actually used the Illusionary Realm!
The general's heart tightened. Without time to think, he immediately patted his chest, intending to use his illusory mirror to directly confront Lin Jiang.

However, as soon as he circulated his Qi, he was surprised to find a strange mist appearing out of nowhere in his dantian.

The mist swirled and dispersed within his meridians, completely disrupting the flow of the Dharma.

The sound of cicadas chirping came from the side, and looking into the distance, I realized that the sky had turned into a bright midday sun.

The bald head of the Imperial Preceptor, shining brightly in the distance, has transformed into the midday sun in the sky. The calamities beside him have also turned into a few clouds, drifting by leisurely, casting shadows on the ground, making the light and shadow flicker.

"you!"

Li Ziguang glared coldly at the general not far away, and an embarrassed look immediately appeared on the general's face.

He clearly sensed that the Qi within his body was being disturbed by the noisy cicadas in the surrounding heat, making it impossible for him to gather his Qi back to normal.

No wonder Li Guang urged himself to stop that person from opening that illusory realm.

If one were trapped in that illusory realm, it would probably take at least half an incense stick's time to gather one's vital energy and activate the necessary techniques to cope!

This is a very difficult situation.

Not far away, the group of generals who were originally restraining the other Star Pointers were also clearly attacked by this sudden Qi. Their cultivation was not as good as that of the genuine Star Pointers, and their ability to resist this chaotic Qi technique was far inferior.

Several people immediately turned red in the face and their movements suddenly froze. How could they possibly continue their interception?
Lin Jiang and his group, on the other hand, felt completely unaffected by the scorching heat; instead, they were enveloped in a refreshing and invigorating aura.

Old Zhao turned his head in astonishment to look in Lin Jiang's direction, only to find that the latter had already disappeared.

Where it once stood, only a towering banyan tree remained, with faint human figures moving about beneath it.

This kid really knows how to use the illusionary realm!
And its effects are quite strong!
Once the illusory realm unfolds, it's nothing more than attacking, defending, enhancing techniques, or weakening the enemy. Perhaps some illusory realms will reveal their unique nature, but these are extremely rare.

It is truly rare to find someone like Lin Jiang who can weaken others with Qi while also assisting his own people.

and,

Old Zhao could clearly see many things in this illusory realm that he did not recognize. Although they were all far away and he could not see them clearly, even if he only saw a part of them, he felt that they were not simple.

Composing himself, Old Zhao stared at the men who had intercepted him again, chuckled coldly, and pulled a club from his robes.
"Today I'll give you disloyal and unrighteous heads a good whack!"

Before he finished speaking, he swung the hammer at the man's head. The men tried to dodge in panic, but the man with the hammer roared, "Hey! You villain, where are you going to get out of here!"

Such vulgar language seemed to have the effect of disturbing the mind: the one of the three, who was actually a star, was quite clever and quickly retreated; the other two adjutants, however, were trapped in place and unable to move.

Old Zhao struck the head with all his might, each blow sending a head flying. But because of his transformation, the adjutant was not dead, and his head quietly grew back.

Old Zhao struck again hard.

A few moments later, several terrified heads were splashed out of the ground and spun around in panic.

Unfortunately, the two adjutants were still alive, but they had completely lost the will to fight and only wanted to turn around and escape as soon as possible.

Li Guang's face looked extremely unpleasant.

The two most difficult challenges in the entire battle were Elder Zhao's illusory realm and Lin Jiang's illusory realm.

Zhao Lao's illusory realm only needs to be activated for a moment, and the hundreds of treasures within are enough to reduce the number of officers. It is precisely because of his powerful ability that he was able to kill other Stars in one fell swoop.

Lin Jiang goes without saying; once his Qi is disrupted, it takes a long time to rebuild the cultivation methods.

She calmed herself and walked step by step toward Linjiang, when she suddenly heard the sound of trees cracking beside her.

Sensing the unusual movement of his own method, his heart trembled slightly, and he subconsciously turned his head away from the light.

Only then did they realize that, under the surging Qi in this illusory realm, the trees around Jiang Jinyue's body had begun to crumble layer by layer.

She squeezed through the trees and walked step by step toward the centrifugal light.

Some vines were still climbing on half of her face, deeply rooted under her skin. The shoes around her ankles were completely worn out, and several vines were growing haphazardly from the soles of her feet.

With each step she took, the vines tugged at her skin and flesh, as if someone were cutting her ankle with a knife.

But Jiang Jinyue's expression remained completely unchanged.

She walked stiffly yet stubbornly to Li Xinguang.

"Is this truly all for the sake of Daxing?"

She murmured, raised the knife, and swung it at Li Xingguang.

Li Guang wanted to block it with his hand, but then he noticed that Jiang Jinyue's lips moved slightly:
"mother."

For a moment, Li Guang was in a daze. When he came to his senses, he realized that there was a new wound on his shoulder.

Jiang Jinyue tried her best, but could only leave this one knife wound on her body.

However, for Li Mingguang, this knife wound should be painless and could be easily resolved with the Body Transformation Technique.

however,
The indescribable pain pierced straight to the heart.
