Dark Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 53 Escape

Faced with this terrifying and malevolent creature, Zhang Qing felt absolutely no confidence.

He knew very well that the power of the "Mystic Light Technique" alone was probably not enough to defeat the evil creature in front of him, which exuded a sinister aura.

But reality no longer allowed Zhang Qing to back down or run away.

He searched through all his knowledge and found that apart from the "Blazing Fire Technique" and the "Mystic Light Technique," he had no stronger combat methods available.

Most fatally, the few mid-grade talismans that had been used to save their lives had long been used up.

In Zhang Qing's storage bag, there are currently only a few low-grade warding talismans, blazing talismans, and a speed-boosting talisman that can only temporarily increase speed.

These things are fine for dealing with minor troubles on a daily basis.

Faced with this terrifying and malevolent creature that can teleport, it's like a drop in the ocean!

There was no way back, and no choice.

A resolute glint flashed in Zhang Qing's eyes. Without further hesitation, he gripped the low-grade talisman with his fingertips and poured in the hard-earned power points without a second thought.

While Power Points are indeed precious, they should be used to cultivate techniques and improve one's foundation.

But with their lives hanging by a thread, keeping their powerful abilities would be the biggest joke.

His only obsession at this moment was to hold a sharp blade that could cut through evil and save his life.

The next moment, the low-grade talisman that Zhang Qing was holding tightly in his palm suddenly burst out with dazzling golden spiritual light.

The light was so intense that it was impossible to look directly at it. The vermilion runes drawn on the originally yellowed talisman paper seemed to be given life, and instantly broke free from the talisman paper's restraints and "floated" up.

Its agility is like a dragon soaring through the air, with the subtle hint of it taking flight on a cloud!

At the same time, Zhang Qing felt as if his right hand was gripping a red-hot iron, burning his fingertips until they went numb, yet he refused to let go.

This was his only hope!

Just as the talisman was about to complete its upgrade, Zhang Qing's vision suddenly blurred, and an extreme chill instantly gripped his heart.

The evil creature, which was originally twenty or thirty steps away and shrouded in gloomy mist, suddenly appeared before them like a ghost!

The face shrouded in black smoke suddenly cracked open with a hideous fissure, from which countless streams of pitch-black, malevolent energy surged forth, transforming into writhing tentacles that, carrying a chilling cold and a putrid stench, lunged straight at Zhang Qing's face.

A chilling aura instantly enveloped him, freezing his limbs and bones, making even his breathing difficult.

The shadow of death, like a thick, dark cloud, pressed mercilessly down on Zhang Qing's heart in an instant!

The despair of facing death almost consumed his consciousness.

But Zhang Qing's inherent tenacity was not broken. On the brink of life and death, he unleashed unprecedented potential and launched a desperate counterattack.

His left hand, which was forming the hand seals for the "Mysterious Light Technique," suddenly opened, and a ball of white, shimmering spiritual light burst forth, instantly creating an almost transparent "protective umbrella" that barely blocked his way.

Nourishing ~

The moment the evil tentacles collided with the spiritual light, they emitted a piercing corrosive sound.

The former continuously dissolved, while the latter fluctuated violently, with ripples spreading across its surface before collapsing and disintegrating.

But that was more than enough, giving Zhang Qing a glimmer of hope!

Almost at the same moment the "Spirit Umbrella" shattered, Zhang Qing suddenly raised his right hand and slammed the upgraded and even more radiant talisman in his palm heavily towards the evil spirit in front of him!

"break!"

A sharp shout, like a thunderclap in spring, shook the surrounding air.

He suddenly spat out the blood in his mouth, which turned into a fine mist of blood that intertwined with the golden spiritual light erupting from the talisman. With a chilling righteous aura, it slammed hard onto the evil face shrouded in black smoke.

This was Zhang Qing's desperate strike.

It's all or nothing!

Yeah ~

A piercing scream, so shrill it was almost inhuman, suddenly rang out.

The terrifying evil spirit was struck by the exorcising light and was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string. The black smoke surrounding its body churned and dissipated violently, and its blurry body twisted and rippled, with countless wisps of smoke scattering and disappearing.

"snort!"

Zhang Qing groaned, feeling a violent jolt in his right arm as an indescribable, strange force rebounded from his palm.

He stumbled back several steps, his foot slipped, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. His chest felt tight and suffocating, as if he had been hit by a boulder.

Although they successfully repelled the evil entity, they even inflicted considerable damage on it.

However, Zhang Qing himself also suffered serious injuries.

Without hesitation, he grabbed a Swiftness Talisman and infused it with Power Points once more.

Add points to upgrade!

At this moment, Zhang Qing was like a gambler who had lost everything, recklessly betting his last bet.

He doesn't want to win back his losses, he just wants to get out of there!

The next moment, Zhang Qing activated the Swiftness Talisman in his hand and slammed it onto himself.

A clear and refreshing aura instantly enveloped him.

retreat!

Zhang Qing immediately leaped backward, then turned and fled.

At that moment, he truly wished he had a few more legs.

The Swiftness Talisman, after being upgraded with enhanced power, also revealed its extraordinary nature.

Zhang Qing felt his body become incredibly light, leaping dozens of steps in a single bound, his speed comparable to an arrow released from a bow.

He didn't care whether the evil creature was chasing him or not, and fled desperately towards the camp.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, Zhang Qing rushed out of this ancient ruin.

He didn't look back and continued to flee!

Just a few breaths later, a strange figure suddenly appeared at the edge of the ancient ruins, surrounded by swirling and twisting black mist.

In the blink of an eye, two eerie lights appeared on the part of his face that was covered by black smoke.

It stared at Zhang Qingyuan's departing figure, its eerie light revealing endless resentment, while drops of black liquid fell from its feet.

When the liquid fell to the ground, it immediately corroded deep holes.

As Zhang Qing's figure disappeared on a mound, the eerie creature let out a resentful roar.

It was clearly trying to break through some kind of constraint, but was blocked inside the ancient ruins by an invisible force, unable to cross the line.

A moment later, the strange creature suddenly exploded silently, transforming into long, thin black snakes that flew away.

This ancient ruin has returned to its deathly silence.

Meanwhile, Zhang Qing fled more than ten miles away in one breath.

The fear that had been weighing on my heart gradually dissipated.

He stopped and looked back, only to see a desolate wilderness overgrown with tall grass, devoid of human habitation or any sign of evil.

It was as if what had just happened was nothing more than a nightmare.

But this is definitely not a dream!

Zhang Qing couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

It was just escaping death!

He subconsciously opened the data panel and checked the number of power points.

[Powerful: 0.8]

Thank goodness!
