Junior sister, I really need to control you.

Chapter 75 Defeating the True Man (4/5)

It wasn't just Mu Xiaoyu who could recognize Li Yinsheng's voice.

Liang Qiwu, who was at the summit, also recognized it.

Isn't this second real person's voice the voice of Fellow Daoist Li?

Not far away, a figure in a black robe with silver threads took off on a talismanic crane, heading straight for the colossal face that blotted out the sky.

Liang Qiwu rubbed his eyes.

Isn't that Senior Li's figure?

Li Yinsheng rode on a talismanic crane with a wingspan of only a few feet, which was far smaller than the giant face, not even the size of one of its eyes.

"Fellow Daoist," Li Yinsheng looked up at the giant face, pointed at it, and said, "you're blocking the sunlight."

Dozens of pale blue sword lights appeared, each twenty or thirty feet long. With a whoosh, they rushed upwards and tore dozens of huge wounds in the giant face in the blink of an eye, turning it into a sieve.

Sunlight shone through the dozens of wounds, instantly brightening the entire Bamboo Forest Peak.

From the wound on the giant face, countless black powder particles drifted down, most of which dissolved in the air, leaving only some insect corpses scattered on the ground.

The enormous face in the sky, resembling a dark cloud covering the sky, is formed by the magical power of the insect cloud combined with the insects.

A barely perceptible hint of fear appeared on the tattered giant face, then the entire face contracted, rapidly shrinking and transforming into a cloud of mist that appeared before Li Yinsheng.

The figure of the insect cloud emerged from the clouds.

"Fellow Daoist, impressive skills indeed. You are actually a sword cultivator." A hint of apprehension flashed in Chong Yun's eyes.

Damn it!

Shouyiguan is full of useless people. How come they don't even know that there is a sword cultivator on the mountain?

Or are these people completely unaware of this? If so, they're even more useless!

"Your methods are not bad either," Li Yinsheng said with a smile. "If I hadn't taken action, the bamboo of Huangzhu Temple would probably all have become yours, right?"

'

"What is your relationship with this Bamboo Temple, fellow Daoist?" Chongyun asked tentatively.

"It doesn't matter much. It's just that Huangzhu Temple has a harvest and is training hard, so they invited someone to oversee things. I'm just here to join in the fun," Li Yinsheng said honestly.

You've got nothing better to do, haven't you?

Chongyun cursed inwardly.

Although the idea of ​​"joining in the fun" is absurd, Chongyun still believed it.

Compared to something like "Huangzhu Temple spent a lot of money to hire a sword cultivator to oversee the event," "joining in the fun" actually sounds more plausible.

"I suppose I'm just unlucky to have run into you today," said True Man Chongyun. "I would be grateful if you would return the mother insect and the magic weapon to me. I will repay this kindness in the future. Or perhaps you have any other needs that we can discuss."

"Otherwise, although my Thousand Insect Valley is not as powerful as a behemoth like the Taihao Immortal Sect, it is not—"

Li Yinsheng shook his head.

Thousand Insect Valley? Yet another faction I've never heard of.

"Fellow Daoist, what is the meaning of your shaking your head?" A cold glint flashed in Chongyun's eyes.

Although sword cultivators are strong, this kind of Gu cultivator is no less capable than others in terms of combat!

Moreover, although he lost the mother insect and the magical artifact, it did not significantly affect his ability to fight head-on.

His reputation as Master Chongyun was built on the fact that he had defeated seven fellow masters!

"I don't intend to return the insect and the magical artifact," Li Yinsheng said. "However, I'd like to ask, do you have any other treasures?"

"Yes, I have plenty of treasures for fighting and battling to determine who is superior and who is dead," Chongyun's tone hardened. "Does fellow Daoist wish for me to exchange other treasures for the mother insect and magic weapon? That's not entirely out of the question—"

"It's not an exchange," Li Yinsheng interrupted him, "I want both."

"Arrogant!"

With a flick of his wrist, Chongyun conjured a ball of crimson smoke from a walnut-sized insect cage at his waist, which flew straight toward Li Yinsheng.

These poisonous insects were carefully crafted by him. They are infused with fire poison and contain real fire. The real fire of a single insect can melt a boulder weighing thousands of kilograms into magma.

Within this small cloud of crimson smoke are thousands upon thousands of poisonous insects.

But suddenly, countless black and white light spots appeared around him, and an array appeared without warning, enveloping him and the newly released poisonous insects.

Dongxuan Formation - Suppressing the God Head.

Chongyun felt his whole body stiffen, and his soul in his sea of ​​consciousness seemed to be bound by a thousand shackles, suppressed layer by layer, and he was immediately unable to move.

The poisonous insects he released fell to the ground, lifeless.

These insects have extremely poor spirituality, possessing only a tiny bit of soul. When the head of the Suppressing God presses down on them, they are not merely suppressed, but are directly killed!

"So you're a formation cultivator! How despicable!"

Chong Yun was instantly enraged, gritting his teeth and shouting, "You went to such lengths to lay such a trap, and even pretended to be a sword cultivator to lower my guard! You righteous sects would do such despicable things?"

He looked around anxiously.

Of all the traps, suppressing the soul and consciousness is the most troublesome.

After all, from supernatural powers and magical treasures to talismans and spells, none of them can exist without divine sense.

No matter how sophisticated the methods, if the soul is suppressed, they cannot be used.

But why is this array for suppressing souls so strange?

It doesn't look particularly sophisticated. When used in real combat, it's already at its best to restrict the opponent's consciousness. How come the suppressing power is so terrifying now that his soul can't move at all?

Seeing that the man was stunned, Li Yinsheng raised his hand and stacked several more trapping formations on top of him.

He then asked the question that had been bothering him: "Fellow Daoist, what is your relationship with Shouyi Temple?"

To his surprise, as soon as he asked the question, Chongyun showed an extremely anxious expression.

Then, he mumbled a few incantations from his throat, and his entire body began to twist and change.

Its skin, which was originally human, quickly turned black and hard, its eyes turned blood red, a pair of transparent membranous wings grew from its back, and even four tentacles emerged from the top of its head.

In the blink of an eye, this True Man Chongyun looked more like an insect than a human, his body was nearly two zhang tall, and his aura also increased dramatically.

This seemed to be some kind of secret technique. As the insect cloud's body suddenly changed shape, a hazy stream of light rose from its black armor. The suppressing power of the God-Suppressing Head seemed to "slide" off its body, with only two or three tenths of it actually landing on it.

"You shouldn't have asked!"

Chongyun's voice was hoarse, and his body struggled and twisted within the Zhenshen Head and several other trapping formations, as if he were trying to force his way out.

What's going on? Why are you suddenly so agitated?

Li Yinsheng was slightly taken aback.

Unbeknownst to him, in order to reassure Shouyi Temple and secure their cooperation, Chongyun had signed a blood oath with a Grand Master of the Divine Travel Realm at Shouyi Temple.

This blood oath is not even magic, but an extremely ancient and insidious form of witchcraft. The consequences of breaking the blood oath can be described as worse than death.

This blood oath does not restrict the success or failure of either party or the amount of effort they contribute; it only restricts him from betraying Shouyi Temple.

Moreover, this kind of betrayal doesn't distinguish between voluntary and involuntary betrayal.

If the betrayal of Shouyi Temple is caused by the insect cloud, the blood oath will be triggered.

Therefore, upon realizing Li Yinsheng's intentions, Chongyun was immediately alarmed and even went so far as to activate the natal Gu within her body.

This natal Gu is a technique possessed by all True Persons of Thousand Insect Valley. It is nurtured within the body year-round and has many wondrous uses, including merging with its master in times of crisis, temporarily greatly enhancing cultivation, and granting a powerful physique equivalent to half a physical cultivator.

However, each time the natal Gu is used, it will reduce the lifespan and cultivation level of both the cultivator and the natal Gu.

"You despicable and shameless array cultivator! Wait till I get out, and let's see what arrays you have left to use! I'll tear you apart alive!"

The insect cloud struggled within the trapped formation, like tiny insects trapped in pine resin, but its bright red eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Previously, he was wary of Li Yinsheng only because the other party had unleashed dozens of extremely powerful sword lights in one go, leading him to mistake him for a sword cultivator.

But since this person is a formation cultivator who set up a trap in advance, the sword light just now must also be the effect of some kind of special formation, right?

A powerful array cultivator is certainly not easy to deal with, but this person has the advantage of terrain and set up an array in advance. The array he set up is nothing special, which proves that this person is probably only a recent beginner in the True Person realm.

The fact that he didn't use any magical artifacts when he flew through the air is enough to prove that his foundation was very shallow.

Since that's the case, Chongyun will teach this reckless young cultivator a lesson.

Faced with the swarm of insects struggling to emerge, Li Yinsheng raised an eyebrow and activated another hidden formation.

Killing Formation - Rising Bull.

The Zhanggu Niu formation was not originally intended for killing, but rather for trapping. It suppresses opponents by limiting their magical power, somewhat similar to the Zhenshen Tou (a magical head formation), except that the Zhenshen Tou suppresses spirits, while the Zhanggu Niu suppresses qi (vital energy).

However, a cultivator who practiced the Dongxuan Formation had a flash of inspiration and thought that the way the Zhanggu Ox restricted the opponent's magic power could be used to kill the opponent.

The modified Zhang Gu Niu no longer restricts the opponent's magic power, but instead extracts a strand of magic power from the opponent's body and causes it to suddenly spread and shatter their meridians and internal organs.

Although it no longer has the effect of suppression, its killing power is still impossible to guard against.

With a scream, Master Chongyun's hard insect shell shattered from the inside out, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

"Huh?" Li Yinsheng was taken aback.

The Zhanggu Niu formation is indeed a killing formation, but no matter what, it can't directly kill the insect-transformed Insect Cloud True Person, right?

He probed with his divine sense and immediately discovered something was wrong. The blood mist that had exploded out seemed to still have aura and divine sense fluctuations, and most of it had left the range of the Zhen Shen head, even spreading out for hundreds of feet.

Sure enough, the next moment, in the sky filled with blood mist, every drop of blood transformed into a countless blood-red worm resembling a ladybug.

And they fell gently, like a downpour in a storm, as if trying to reach the patrolling disciples scattered across the mountain below.

Li Yinsheng didn't know what tricks this Master Chongyun was up to, but he absolutely couldn't let him have his way.

He used the self-destruction of the bull to transform into thousands upon thousands of bloodworms, which is simply a way of breaking down the whole into smaller parts, making it impossible to guard against.

Li Yinsheng made a hand seal with one hand, and the pure and mysterious divine light surged into his magical power, the two mixing together.

Although he still doesn't know any advanced magic, the Pure Profound Divine Light greatly amplifies magic!

Wind manipulation technique.

A beginner-level spell stirred up the wind across the entire Bamboo Forest Peak.

Endless winds gathered from the mountains and forests, then soared into the sky, sweeping all the bloodworms that were trying to fly down back into the air, where they were then swirled into a tornado, firmly holding all the bloodworms in the middle.

Li Yinsheng took another bit of the Pure Profound Divine Light and threw a spell into the hurricane.

Burning Wind Technique.

In the blink of an eye, the sky for miles around was set ablaze.

After being mixed with a large amount of pure and mysterious divine light, the fire of the Burning Wind Technique can no longer be regarded as ordinary fire.

All the bloodworms were burned to ashes in the fire, leaving only one worm, about half a person's height, struggling left and right in the wind and fire.

Li Yinsheng frowned slightly.

Unfortunately, his foundation in the Burning Wind Technique was weak, so even with the Pure Profound Divine Light, he couldn't improve much.

He flashed and appeared in front of the insect, his eye twitching involuntarily.

The body of an insect, but the head of an insect cloud.

Upon seeing Li Yinsheng, Chongyun let out a strange cry and spat out a crystal-clear talisman.

The talisman shattered, enveloping Master Chongyun, who instantly transformed into a streak of light and flew away into the distance.
