Dark Immortal Cultivation

"break!"

Zhang Qing let out a low shout, and the blazing fireball that had just condensed in his palm suddenly transformed into a large wall of fire, enveloping the Shadow Erosion Evil within it with a scorching aura.

He didn't intercept it beforehand precisely to maximize the power of "Blazing Fire" at close range.

The Shadow Evil had no time to dodge; bursts of crimson flames instantly erupted from the surface of its gray body!

Squeak!

In pain, the Shadow Evil let out another sharp screech.

Yet it stubbornly withstood the scorching heat and suddenly unleashed its withered, sharp claws, gleaming with a dark, murky light.

call out!

The claw-like blade, imbued with intense evil power, tore through the flames and slashed towards Zhang Qing's chest with lightning speed.

If this blow lands, it will definitely rip him open on the spot!

not good!

Zhang Qing instinctively sensed the imminent danger and flew backward without hesitation.

scoff!

The sinister claws barely grazed Zhang Qing's chest, tearing three shocking rips in his clothes.

It was just a hair's breadth away from resulting in a bloody mess!

Zhang Qing broke out in a cold sweat.

But his mind became incredibly calm, and in the blink of an eye, he cast a second talisman at the Shadow Erosion Evil.

The same mid-grade talisman for warding off evil!

The Shadow Erosion Demon, having just suffered repeated heavy blows, was now thoroughly enraged.

Just as it was about to chase after Zhang Qing, another burst of evil-repelling spiritual light struck, and it was hit again!

This time, the Shadow Evil was even more severely injured. Nearly half of its head was eroded by the spiritual light, large areas of its thick neck became ulcerated, and its left arm broke off with a "thud" and fell to the ground.

Its body twisted violently, emitting large plumes of black smoke.

It's like it's about to reveal its true form!

Witnessing this scene, Zhang Qing stopped in his tracks, focused his mind on circulating his internal energy, and concentrated his magical power in his palms.

In an instant, clusters of crimson flames appeared in his palms, the flames dancing and the heat surging.

The next moment, Zhang Qing swung both arms and unleashed a series of fireballs at the Shadow Erosion Evil!

The first burst of flame collided head-on with the evil body and exploded, followed closely by a second burst of flame...

In the life-or-death struggle, Zhang Qing held nothing back, unleashing his most ferocious firepower with all his might!

Even though the Shadow Erosion Demon was incredibly powerful, its already severely injured body could no longer withstand such a fierce attack. It screamed and transformed into a large, dense shadow, trying to escape into the depths of the ancient ruins.

The most annoying thing about evil is that it is not easy to kill completely.

But at this moment, Zhang Qing was already in a killing frenzy!

Upon seeing the Shadow Evil's remains attempting to flee, he immediately lunged forward, pulling out another talisman with his right hand.

This was Zhang Qing's most treasured talisman for warding off evil.

Once it's used up, it's gone.

And he can't afford to buy a new one!

But Zhang Qing only had one thought in his mind.

Evil must die!

The next moment, a burst of warding-off evil light exploded, striking the Shadow Erosion Evil's remaining body!

The Shadow Erosion, which had already turned into shadow, was struck by this heavy blow, and its mournful howl suddenly rose several notches, showing a state of complete ethereal disintegration.

Immediately afterwards, the eerie shadows melted away at a visible speed, and the hissing gradually weakened.

A moment later, the Shadow Erosion was completely purified by the Exorcising Spiritual Light, turning into wisps of gray mist that dissipated with the wind, leaving only a small, wet, black stain on the ground.

It seeped into the ground in an instant.

The surrounding cold and evil aura was completely swept away.

The ancient ruins have returned to silence.

Zhang Qing let out a long sigh of relief, raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, his heart still filled with lingering fear!

Fortunately, he always kept three mid-grade warding talismans in his storage bag; otherwise, completely subduing this Shadow-Eroding Evil Spirit would not have been so simple.

Not a single one can be missing.

If there are two fewer, then the outcome is really hard to say.

This battle also made Zhang Qing realize that although he had mastered the Blazing Fire Technique to an unparalleled level, it was not very effective against the Shadow Erosion Evil.

In other words, it's about overcoming insufficient power!

There's nothing we can do; it's a limitation of the spell itself.

The problem is, does the Shadow Corruptor have some fire resistance, while other evil spirits don't?

The answer is obviously no!

There must be some evil beings that are completely unafraid of raging flames.

This means that he needs to learn another spell to counteract all kinds of evil magic!

Zhang Qing had a new idea.

But there's no rush right now.

He opened his eyes wide and began a careful search.

Soon, Zhang Qing found a bead with a black luster among the weeds.

This black bead is about the size of a thumb, perfectly round and flawless. It looks like a black pearl, but it weighs more than a steel ball.

[A powerful substance has been discovered. Should it be absorbed?]

The information that popped up in his field of vision made him overjoyed.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Qing immediately chose to absorb it.

[Powerful +0.5]

Not bad!

This loot left behind by the Shadow Evil gave him a full 0.5 points of powerful energy.

Three mid-grade talismans were well worth the price!

To Zhang Qing's surprise, the black bead in his hand did not break after absorbing the powerful energy.

It has completely lost its original luster.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Qing did not discard it, but casually put it into his storage bag.

Immediately afterwards, he reached out and beckoned.

The little puppet that had just hidden among the ruins immediately hopped out and quickly came to Zhang Qing's side.

In the blink of an eye, it climbed onto his shoulder!

Thanks!

Zhang Qing touched the wooden puppet.

If Little Puppet hadn't warned us in time, we probably wouldn't have realized the danger until the Shadow Devourer was right next to us.

The consequences would be unimaginable!

Zhang Qing sighed.

Although he successfully destroyed the evil entity.

But this place of cultivation is clearly no longer safe, and perhaps an even more powerful evil will appear next time.

never mind!

The slight increase in cultivation was no longer enough for Zhang Qing to continue taking risks.

He used his movement technique and flew towards Qing'anji.

With the help of the Swift Travel Talisman, Zhang Qing quickly returned home.

But instead of rushing to add more points, he changed his clothes and headed to the Changfeng Society's headquarters.

Zhang Qing's destination was Xuntang.

After officially becoming an outer disciple of the Changfeng Clan, he received a clan benefit.

That means you can exchange a Qi cultivation technique for one large talisman coin at Xuntang.

Of course, this spell's rank is definitely not high.

Previously, Zhang Qing focused on cultivating the "Mysterious Origin Technique" to break through to the third level of Qi Refining.

So I haven't redeemed this benefit yet.

But after the fierce battle with the Shadow Evil, he felt it was necessary to master new spells.

Furthermore, Zhang Qing has already selected his target.

That is the "Spirit Light Technique"!

This spell, activated by one's own magical power, has the effect of illuminating all things and warding off evil spirits.

However, for low-level cultivators, the effect of the "Spirit Light Technique" is far inferior to that of the Evil-Repelling Talisman, and it can generally only be used as an illumination technique.

Moreover, the "Spiritual Light Technique" requires a cultivation level of the third level of Qi Refining.

But Zhang Qing wanted to give it a try!

Because he just acquired 0.5 of the Powerful Energy—everything can be enhanced!
