Re-live your life and start speedrunning

"Fake car?" He said succinctly.

Now it was the old Taoist priest's turn to be stunned. He seemed not to understand what "碰瓷" meant, but he understood what Li Re wanted to express from his expression and said helplessly, "Why would I lie to you in this situation?"

"I really sprained my waist - hurry up, help me, and run now while those barbarians at the city gate are gone!"

The old Taoist priest stood up and said this while panting. He then added: "I don't want to be trapped in the city as a 'dead man' anymore!"

Being a 'dead person'?

At this time, Li Re and Cheng Shiyu also noticed that the vitality in the old man's body suddenly became full again - as if the 'corpse' that just walked out of the city gate was not him...

"Are you the 'Spiritual Corpse Taoist' Sun Suling?"

Cheng Shiyu suddenly made a sound!

"You little girl, do you know me?" The old Taoist priest looked at her immediately after hearing this.

"I heard about it from my master." The Little Sword Immortal looked at Li Re and said, "'Spiritual Corpse Taoist' is a strange person in the world of cultivation. He never practiced any external methods in his life, but only practiced the method of holding his breath and breathing. It is said that he has practiced it to a superb level. When he holds his breath, his whole body can stop functioning like a dead person. It is said that he has lived for hundreds of years with this method-"

"He's a thousand-year-old bastard!"

"What old bastard? Who is your girl's teacher? How dare you humiliate me like this?" The old Taoist priest stood up with his hands on his waist, puffing his beard and glaring!

"My master is Master Shuangxue." Cheng Shiyu raised her head and responded proudly.

"Master Shuangxue... oh, so you are the disciple of Tianbei's number one swordsman!" The old man who was so aggressive a second ago suddenly became kind and benevolent.

Li Re looked at this performance and thought to himself that this guy was really realistic.

But he also noticed...

The guy in front of him is definitely not Man Ya. Combining the statements of the Little Sword Immortal and this guy himself, he is obviously trapped in this border town and has to use the "turtle breathing method" to disguise himself as a corpse and hide, and then wait for an opportunity to escape - the opportunity he is waiting for is this one!

After all this time, it turns out that he is not a powerful character...

Li Re was greatly disappointed! He thought that this guy was not the powerful being controlled by Man Ya as he and Xiao Jianxian had guessed.

The little sword fairy over there tilted his head and said, "By the way, why is Taoist Sun in this border town?"

"Still trapped?"

"do not talk."

At this time, the old Taoist priest seemed to adjust his body and responded: "I was just passing by here while traveling, but I didn't expect to be caught by the sudden outbreak of the 'barbarians' - hey, it must be the arrival of the killing calamity, otherwise how could these monsters hide from my perception so easily?"

"With my abilities, I can definitely escape thousands of miles away before the danger comes! I won't be trapped in this city for many days!" He seemed quite proud when he said this!

Before he finished, he looked at Li Re and Xing Gongyue who had split into three bodies beside Li Re: "Are you a 'ghost cultivator'? You look sinister... but you have some skills."

"You two want to deal with the barbarians in this city?"

"I advise you to give up!"

"This city has fallen. There is no one alive in it except me. And there is also a very scary guy. Not to mention you, even a high-level cultivator like me would be terrified when seeing him..."

"But it's also because I failed to prepare well."

"Otherwise, we will be able to capture him alive and save the people here!"

The old man stood straight and boasted to himself.

But soon.

He suddenly felt something strange.

Too quiet—

It was abnormally quiet.

and...

"What's wrong with the looks in your eyes?" The old Taoist priest stared blankly at Li Re and the little sword fairy who were staring at him.

Why does that little girl look so surprised?

Why did that ghost cultivator laugh?

wrong.

They were not staring at themselves, but at——behind them! ?

"The powerful guy you are talking about, is he the guy behind you?" Li Re spoke, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up - he said happily.

The spiritual fire that lit up in his eyes reflected the shadow of the old Taoist priest and the huge figure that appeared behind the old Taoist priest at some point in time!

The old Taoist priest froze suddenly when he saw the scene behind him through Li Re's eyes.

The beard flutters.

He dared not move—

Just as the Little Sword Immortal said.

He only practices turtle breathing and doesn't learn anything else, so he really has no fighting power at all...

"Young man, save me!"

Plop it.

This old man kneels down without hesitation when he is told to do so!

Roar——almost at the same time, an earth-shaking sound came from behind him, and the raised claws pressed down as if the sky was falling!

Then there was a thud.

The trembling old man slowly opened his eyes.

Suddenly, I saw Li Re standing upright in front of me.

The ghost bride who was separated from Xinggongyue at her side raised her four hands, and an invisible barrier seemed to emerge between her palms - the defense supported by the mechanism generated by the self-circulating characteristics of the evil ghost girl on the timeline was like a solid wall, resisting the claws falling from above without any hindrance - and even blocking the giant beast that appeared behind the old Taoist priest!

The giant beast was as huge as a towering city tower.

The body is strong and the hair is flamboyant.

The horns on the head seemed to be pulling the wind and thunder.

Shaped like a lion.

More like a divine beast.

It is...

"It turns out that the mountain god in the mountain temple is here!"

Li Re murmured so.

Finally understand!

Chapter 217: The Enslaved Mountain God

When they settled in the dilapidated temple earlier, Cheng Shiyu had briefly mentioned to Li Re about the situation of the 'gods' in this world, saying that in this world 'gods and ghosts have the same origin', are essentially immortal beings, and 'gods and demons are in opposition', so it is very safe in the dilapidated temple.

At that time, the Little Sword Immortal was also very sure that the 'mountain god' worshipped in the dilapidated temple was not dead.

Now it seems.

Indeed, he is not dead.

But not in that temple either.

But it is right in front of us - in this city!

Li Re remembered that there was a portrait of the mountain god on the wall of the dilapidated temple. Most of the "gods" passed down from ancient times also originated from the people's awe and worship of the ferocious beasts in the mountains.

Therefore, the mountain god is a "beast".

This is very appropriate!

"It seems that the 'barbarians' in this city are indeed closely related to the barbarians I swallowed!"

Li Re, who led Xinggong Yue to block the sudden attack of the "Mountain God", gently exhaled a breath of dark green spiritual fire and said so.

The old Taoist priest who escaped from the danger rolled and crawled to the side in an instant!

At this time, the little sword fairy who had recovered from her surprise also calmed down - she was surprised that the mountain god in the temple would appear here, and even more surprised at the state of the mountain god in front of her...

"The mountain god has also been controlled?"

Cheng Shiyu tightly grasped the Chixiao Sword in her hand and murmured softly, but her pretty face showed a gloomy expression!

"To be precise, it's 'slavery'."

Li Re, who appeared calm and composed despite facing the head-on attack from the Beast God, even had the time to turn around and respond to the Little Sword Immortal's words.

But the next second after the words fell!

Suddenly, a startling roar was heard.

The Beast God, who was blocked by Xinggong Yue's two 'ghost bride' clones, clasped his sharp claws on the invisible barrier in front of him and raised his huge head. Strands of silver-white arcs were generated and gathered from the horns on top of his head in the blink of an eye. The roar of thunder, which was louder than the roar, seemed to tear the air apart!

Li Re turned around and grinned.

He whispered, "Nice power!"

"But that's not enough!" He took a step forward!

After one step, he stepped out of the range of the girl's guardian spirit.

After one step, a blazing spiritual fire was seen swelling from his body and surging forward like a tide!

With a bang, the huge beast god like a city gate was instantly submerged by the spiritual fire and roared, but facing the erosion of the spiritual fire, it was not as fragile as the previous wild buds, but was howling. Restraining the minions and taking two steps back, the hair on the whole body is stretched out to fight against the fire!

No, more than resistance.

It also resisted the erosion of spiritual fire!

Li Re narrowed his eyes slightly!

The fire that burns the spirits and can give them spirit properties is extremely rare to be resisted... Is this the so-called power of 'gods and ghosts coming from the same source'?

Not disturbed by ghosts.

Not even affected by the spiritual fire...

As expected!

Roar!

The spiritual fire rising from the giant beast's body was extinguished in an instant, and a huge shadow appeared above Li Re's head as it roared again. The terrifyingly powerful mountain god swooped down on his head and struck him with his sharp claws, his figure flashing through the air, bringing with it wisps of lightning arcs like fragments!

His speed is as fast as lightning.

The power is even more powerful!

When this blow landed, it seemed as if even the air was wailing!

Facing this attack, Li Re took it head-on without dodging. He thought that gods and ghosts had the same origin and that his psychic perception was indeed correct. The spiritual fire had an "intensifying" effect on the mountain god - this was exactly his purpose!

To intensify, or in other words - to irritate the other party!

With a loud bang, the giant claw fell to the ground, and the vast ground in front of the city gate began to crack with it as the center, and dust flew up from the black ground!

"Dead——!?" At this time, the old Taoist priest who had rolled and crawled to the side hurriedly stood up and saw this scene and was immediately horrified: "Why didn't this ghost cultivator hide for a moment? Is he so reckless?"

“That’s a god. Apart from the almost impossible suppression of absolute power, normal means are useless against gods - ‘Gods and ghosts have the same origin’. While gods have the immortal nature of ghosts, they also have the ability of Shinto to carry all things. Even if they are controlled, they must not be provoked - our top priority now is to escape quickly...” He said a lot of things in a jumbled manner, jumped up, turned around and wanted to run.

But his expression suddenly changed, he turned back and said seriously: "Run away! I am a monk and I will enforce justice on behalf of heaven - this barbaric monster is causing trouble in all directions, you two can rest assured, I will lead the way today and watch you destroy him!"

He said so.

A red, glowing sword hung above his head, the blade of the sword humming.

The young swordsman over there smiled and silently controlled the 'Red Sky Sword' to stop the old man from escaping. No matter how capable this guy is, he has survived in this border town for a period of time after all - it is safest to learn about the situation in the border town from him.

Li Re and Little Sword Immortal, who couldn't just sit back and watch the current situation, had to go into the city!

So of course she wouldn't let this guy take the opportunity to escape.

As for Li Re's situation...she was not worried at all.

"That guy won't die so easily—" Cheng Shiyu said, shaking the sleeves of his outer robe.

Her words were quickly responded to.

"really."
