Junior sister, I really need to control you.

Chapter 76 Slaying the Insect Cloud, Master Langgan (5/5)

Imbued with the blessing of the Divine Escape Talisman, Master Chongyun hurriedly sped away into the distance.

He was really anxious this time.

It turns out that person wasn't a formation cultivator or a sword cultivator, but a magic cultivator!

He had just self-destructed into a blood mist because he realized that it would be too difficult to escape those trapping formations in front of Li Yinsheng. So he used another spell that could only be cast when he was in a state of fusion with his natal Gu.

This spell is divided into two parts.

The first part is a self-destruction; the instantaneous burst of power can help him escape or clash with some extremely powerful attacks.

However, the price is quite high, as it will cause him to lose a significant amount of his vital essence and blood, and leave him physically weak.

However, the latter part of the effect is that after his self-destruction, he can transform into thousands of bloodworms, absorbing the blood of surrounding cultivators, demons, and other living beings to recover his losses and reassemble his body.

Although the lost essence and blood are not so easy to recover, as long as enough cultivators and demons are absorbed, it can at least temporarily restore it to its peak state.

Moreover, although these bloodworms are not strong individually, their numbers are extremely large, making them very difficult to eliminate completely.

Once the surviving parts are separated, it is not difficult to collect enough blood to reassemble the body.

Then he saw the "array cultivator" in front of him surround the entire mountain and cast a wind spell, trapping all the blood worms he had created.

Then another fire spell was cast, burning all the bloodworms to ashes.

He managed to gather some of the bloodworms at the last moment and reform his body, barely managing to recover.

The price is that it is only its current size, and its fusion with its natal Gu is on the verge of being broken; its head has returned to normal.

After this battle, he had completely lost the will to fight Li Yinsheng.

Although he still had several powerful techniques he hadn't had time to use, his current extremely poor condition meant that these techniques were greatly diminished in power and unlikely to pose any threat to this person.

So he decisively abandoned the mother insect and the magic weapon, used the divine escape talisman he had prepared, and turned to flee for his life.

In his state of being one with his natal Gu, he was already able to use an extremely fast escape technique. With the addition of the Divine Escape Talisman, his escape speed could be increased several times over, so escaping was definitely not a problem.

"Damn it! Heaven has truly wronged me this time, to have encountered such a treacherous and righteous master!"

Chong Yun gritted his teeth: "This time I've lost at least twenty or thirty years of cultivation. Once I escape back to Thousand Insect Valley, I'll find out who this person is. If I don't avenge this, I will—"

"How are you?" someone asked from the side.

Insect Cloud's pupils shrank abruptly. Without even glancing to its side, it increased its speed by another third.

How did he catch up? Does he also have a magic escape talisman?

And why is it that my divine sense has no connection to him at all!

"Bang!"

Chongyun suddenly felt as if he had crashed into a mountain.

The light surrounding him from the Divine Escape Talisman shattered completely, and he flew back at a speed even faster than when he was flying.

Only then, his mind still foggy, did he hear what sounded like a tidal wave of air being torn apart and howling.

Li Yinsheng shook his hand.

What kind of insect is this, flying so fast?

He almost couldn't catch up.

To be precise, he almost couldn't catch up with the enemy using only his physical strength.

The speed of the insect cloud wasn't particularly fast even with his soul separated from his body; a pure soul is much faster than a physical body.

But without using his soul to leave his body, he almost failed to catch up.

Fortunately, the strength of body cultivators is not only reflected in high attack and high defense.

Body cultivators can also run fast in the air.

It's just that it's a bit too noisy.

Li Yinsheng looked back.

A gust of wind blew from behind him, the sound of him flying in.

Because he was so fast, all those sounds were left behind before he even stopped.

He flashed and caught up with the insect cloud master who had been swatted away.

Master Chongyun was completely unaware of what had just happened. He only felt that Li Yinsheng must also possess some kind of extremely advanced escape technique, and that his being blocked just now was nothing more than some kind of advanced magic.

The Divine Escape Talisman is shattered; to survive today, one must pay a heavy price.

"You forced me into this!"

Chongyun's expression hardened, his whole body was enveloped in dark light, and his size increased again, returning to the height of a person. He also completely returned to his previous half-human, half-insect state.

Even now, although he is much smaller than when he was two zhang tall, he is even more ferocious. Every inch of his insect armor exudes an indestructible aura, and his momentum is even stronger than when he was two zhang tall.

"You forced me to burn my life essence and the lifespan of my natal Gu, so you shall repay me with your own life essence!"

As he spoke, Chongyun swung a claw at Li Yinsheng.

His claws also transformed into mantis-like sickle claws, their surfaces gleaming with a cold light.

A ferocious glint flashed across the face of the insect-like creature.

The person before me is still too young and lacks experience in combat. A magic cultivator with only a half-baked array mastery is able to easily get close to the enemy!

He almost exhausted the lifespan of his natal Gu, in exchange for a body that could rival that of a body cultivator in a short period of time!

The sickle claw flashed and disappeared, approaching Li Yinsheng's brow.

Then the insect cloud felt itself being gently blown by a breeze.

What kind of magic is this wind? It's blowing so strangely.

It was so faint, like the sound of willow catkins being blown by the wind.

But he was torn apart in the wind like a willow catkin.

Chongyun's last memory was of his divine sense sweeping over himself and Li Yinsheng. Li Yinsheng withdrew his fist, and he had already been reduced to countless fragments in a gust of wind from the punch.

So it turns out you're a cultivator.

Li Yinsheng raised his hand and took out a delicate, small metal cage, only the size of a walnut, and a Qiankun bag embroidered with snakes and scorpions from the fragments of the insect cloud.

Although the insect cloud had just fled in a sorry state, it hadn't left behind any of its precious belongings.

This is also the main reason why Li Yinsheng chased after him.

He was still hoping that another magical artifact would drop from the insect cloud.

Unfortunately, judging from the fact that Chongyun was willing to engage in hand-to-hand combat just now, this person probably only has that black command flag as a magic weapon.

Besides, this person is into keeping insects, and keeping insects must be expensive, right?

Li Yinsheng searched through the man's Qiankun bag and found no magical treasures, but rather a number of strange and unusual things, many of which he did not recognize.

If Liu Chongyun were alive, he could explain it to us personally.

Li Yinsheng used the Qiankun Bag of the Insect Cloud to collect the fragments of the Insect Cloud, mounted the Fu Crane, and flew back towards Huangzhu Temple.

When he landed back on Bamboo Forest Peak, Liang Qiwu quickly bowed and greeted him, "Greetings, Senior Li!"

He's a man who's weathered many storms, and after a period of adjustment, he's mostly recovered his composure; at least he's not standing there dumbfounded.

"Fellow Daoist Liang, there's no need for such formalities," Li Yinsheng waved his hand.

"Senior—did you catch up with that person?" Liang Qiwu asked cautiously.

"It's in here." Li Yinsheng shook his Qiankun bag.

Liang Qiwu was stunned.

Can you put a real person into a magic bag?

Is this something I can hear?

"Hey, it seems your real family member has arrived! They came so quickly!"

Li Yinsheng looked into the distance and sighed.

Within his spiritual sense range, a rapidly approaching aura was visible from the direction of Huangzhu Temple.

That was too fast, almost on par with the speed of the fleeing Insect Cloud Immortal.

"That must be our sect's Patriarch Langgan!" Liang Qiwu quickly explained.

"I observe that Ancestor Langgan mainly cultivates the art of wind movement. His speed of escape is among the best of all the True Immortals."

Li Yinsheng wanted to say that he also knew a little about wind magic, but after thinking about his own wind manipulation technique, he was too embarrassed to say it.

As they spoke, a green glimmer appeared on the distant horizon, growing larger as it approached.

Liang Qiwu hurriedly bowed down to greet the green light.

The green light descended, revealing a middle-aged Confucian scholar in his thirties or forties, whose Taoist robes also resembled Confucian robes in some ways.

He had a scroll painting around his side, which depicted only countless undulating bamboo leaves, without a single bamboo stalk. The bamboo leaves seemed to be dancing wildly in a strong wind, as if the painting was depicting a gale using only bamboo leaves as a medium.

After exchanging greetings, Liang Qiwu hurriedly explained what had happened to his ancestor.

Although he didn't fully understand what had happened, the fact that a heretical Taoist master had attacked and was killed by Li Yinsheng was still easy to explain.

It's just not easy to accept.

Master Lang knew of Li Yinsheng; he had known of him before this.

As the acting abbot of Xuanzhen Temple, Li Yinsheng has always had a reputation that is disproportionate to his cultivation level.

So when Master Lang heard his deputy abbot say that "the acting abbot of Xuanzhen Temple is actually a highly accomplished master who killed a heretical master in a very short time,"

His first reaction was to feed the deputy abbot two stimulant pills.

He could sense that the young man in front of him, dressed in a black robe with silver threads, was a real person.

He also believed that the young master in front of him had killed a heretical master and helped protect the Suyun bamboo of Huangzhu Temple.

He was also very grateful for the generous help from the person in front of him, and was even considering how to express his gratitude.

But he refused to believe that the real person was Li Yinsheng.
