Starting with Taoist priests from Maoshan to cultivate immortality

"Skin grafting!"

As Xue Laoliu's black, sharp fingernails swung, the body of the dead middle-aged cultivator suddenly stood up.

The inner workings of the two figures instantly shifted.

A hideous ghost head tore through the skin and appeared.

Xue Laoliu was pale, panting heavily, and his expression was one of uncontrollable rage.

This move is the Painted Skin Ghost's ultimate survival technique.

His body can be exchanged with a puppet or corpse that bears the mark.

This move comes at a huge cost, consuming twenty years of his lifespan.

However, if he doesn't pay this price, he might be attacked by Jiang Yu and the others and lose his life.

The resurrected demon has a 30-second period of weakness.

Jiang Yu noticed this and with a wave of his hand, the eight-sided Thunder Pestle appeared in his hand.

It's sizzling!

Jiang Yu unleashed his spiritual power, and the lightning condensed into a tiny white point at the tip of the pestle.

In addition to its area-of-effect attacks, the Thunder Pestle also possesses a powerful single-target killing move.

However, with Jiang Yu's current cultivation level, he needs to gather spiritual energy for a period of time before he can fully unleash its power.

Tu Meng understood, took a heavy step, and suddenly appeared behind Xue Laoliu, firmly clamping him down with his steel-like arms.

Sensing the destructive power unleashed by the Heavenly Thunder Pestle, Xue Laoliu broke out in a cold sweat, his heart pounding wildly.

"If I get hit by this, I'll die!"

"Let go of me!"

Xue Laoliu's face contorted, and the pores on his body suddenly contracted and then sprang open, shooting out thousands of black needles formed from ghostly energy.

Tu Meng gritted his teeth, grabbed Xue Laoliu's body, and spun him around violently.

puff puff!

To buy Jiang Yu time, he used his massive size to absorb almost all the attacks from the black needles.

His eyes rolled back, and small streams of blood seeped from the numerous wounds on his body, instantly soaking his clothes with blood.

He didn't let go until he lost consciousness.

Xue Laoliu pushed Tu Meng away with his two ghostly claws, cursing under his breath:

"madman!"

He looked coldly at Jiang Yu:

"Fortunately, your cultivation level is too low to control this magical artifact."

"Ten percent still needed!"

Jiang Yu's eyes were bloodshot with rage; he couldn't let all his efforts go to waste like this!

He frantically poured the spiritual energy from his dantian into the Heavenly Thunder Pestle.

Upon seeing this, the hunchbacked monk shouted sternly:

"Don't forget, I'm still here!"

He held the Xuanci Talisman in his hand, chanted an incantation, and threw it at Xue Laoliu.

"Too slow!"

Xue Laoliu stomped his large foot, and his figure clung to his side like a ghost, his pitch-black ghost claws suddenly slamming out.

The hunchbacked monk felt a chill run down his spine; he didn't even have time to use the Vajra Talisman.

His body flew backward dozens of steps, his hunched back embedded in the wall, and he vomited blood and fainted.

"And me!"

Zhao Lei gritted his teeth and charged toward the Painted Skin Ghost.

Despite being injured and only at the second level of Qi Refining, he could only stand by and watch from the sidelines.

He had only one thought in his mind: even if it cost him his life, he would create an opportunity for Brother Yu.

A deep disdain flashed in Xue Laoliu's eyes:

"This piece of junk, only at the second level of the Qi Refining stage, dares to be so arrogant!"

He stretched out his ghostly claws and easily grabbed Zhao Lei's neck.

"So close!"

Jiang Yu's eyes widened, and his spiritual energy surged in his dantian.

This short period of time felt longer than ten days.

Boom!

Just as Xue Laoliu was about to snap Zhao Lei's neck, a golden-blue light suddenly emanated from his body, making him as hard as refined steel.

Xue Laoliu's pupils trembled:

"This kid has awakened the 'Azure Gold Body'!"

Zhao Lei's cultivation level surged to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

"Damn it!" Xue Laoliu cursed.

"Why are there so many monsters in the early stages of Qi Refining!"

咳!

He coughed heavily, and a large amount of dark black corpse oil sprayed from his mouth, covering Zhao Lei's face and making a hissing, corrosive sound.

That is to say, he has now awakened the Azure Gold Body. If it were just now, his face would have been corroded by the corpse oil and only bones would remain.

Xue Laoliu stopped arguing and kicked Zhao Lei away.

With his five fingers joined together, he aimed straight for Jiang Yu's heart.

"It's done!"

Jiang Yu smiled slightly, and the killing move of the Heavenly Thunder Pestle was finally completed.

Xue Laoliu had no choice but to switch to defense, forming a shield of hundreds of layers of corpse skin in front of him.

Xue Laoliu sneered:

"You can't break it! These specially made human skins of mine are all lightning-proof!"

call!

Suddenly, three ghostly blue foxfires appeared, instantly burning the human skin shield to ashes.

Xue Laoliu suddenly looked at the pure-looking girl in the white dress with a smile on her face.

He initially thought that Granny Tree had captured the fox demon to present to his grandmother as a plaything, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Now that I look at it, this fox demon is probably not simple.

He was filled with regret; if only he had known, he wouldn't have let the fox demon set the trap.

It would have been better to just start fighting back then.

Jiang Yu's eyes widened slightly, also surprised that Ying Ning would make a move.

Yingning stared into Jiang Yu's handsome eyes, smiled brightly, and said in a sweet voice:

"Have you forgotten? We're comrades!"

It's sizzling!

Jiang Yu nodded, and the white needle tip of the Heavenly Thunder Pestle pierced directly into Xue Laoliu's chest.

Three seconds later.

Xue Laoliu held the needle tip, a grin spreading across his face:

"Haha, I'm fine!"

He had barely finished speaking when his expression froze.

Zi la la!

Dozens of tiny lightning snakes writhed wildly inside his body, and lightning surged, blasting his entire body into hundreds of pieces.

call!

Jiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief; he had finally killed that cloaked ghost, Lao Liu.

They suffered heavy casualties this time in their efforts to kill him.

Suddenly, he felt a burning sensation in his chest.

He pulled open the clothes and saw that on top of the original mark, there was an even clearer red ghost head mark.

Jiang Yu said helplessly:

"Looks like I'm really going to have a showdown with this whole family of Painted Skin Demons."

Suddenly, a golden light flashed in his eyes, and three golden copper coins appeared, with three lines of text from left to right:

"Dangerous Mission [Catch the Demon and Exterminate Evil]: Slay the towering tree demon."

"Intermediate Quest [Worldly Affairs]: Unravel Yingning's Secrets."

"Daily Task [Do a Good Deed Every Day]: Perform a Buddhist ritual for the villagers of Lijia Town."

Jiang Yu frowned:

"The mission has been refreshed; it is now the middle of the morning."

He looked down at Xie Qiyun and Kong Zhenhai, who were still fighting.

These giant tree spirits, composed of smaller tree spirits, are not only incredibly strong and have high defense, but also possess extraordinary regenerative abilities.

Xie Qiyun and Kong Zhenhai tried everything they could, but they were unable to kill them.

They also occasionally unleash a savage charge ability, as powerful as a bomb.

If they touch you even slightly, you will be shattered to pieces.

Fortunately, their collisions are in a straight line, so as long as you pay attention, you can avoid them.

As Jiang Yu surveyed the entire situation from above, a bold idea suddenly popped into his mind.

The Tree Demon's array source also has a barrier, requiring immense power to destroy.

These two big guys with no brains are perfect helpers, aren't they?

Then, pointing to the dark green gem on the tree demon's abdomen, he shouted to Xie Qiyun and Kong Zhenhai below:

"Time is running out, don't get entangled with the two of them any longer!"

We should turn the tables and use their power!

Kong Zhenhai and Xie Qiyun suddenly realized:

"yes!"

"Why didn't we think of that?"

It is really a fan of the authorities, and a bystander is clear.

The two exchanged a glance and decided to stop forcibly engaging the giant tree demon in battle.

Instead, it jumps back and forth, attracting the giant tree spirit and confusing it.

When they formed a straight line with the Treant, the Giant Treant used Savage Charge again.

Kong Zhenhai and Xie Qiyun dodged quickly, and the shockwave generated by the giant tree demon crashed straight into the barrier on the tree demon's abdomen.

boom!

Under immense force, the tree demon's barrier shattered.

The Tree Granny awoke and let out a deafening roar:

"No!"
