Chapter 372 Killing Kan Jin
Chapter 372 Killing Kan Jin
Last time, we talked about Li Yi who had just solved the Seven Deadly Gu and was entangled with Kan Jin and Zou Sha. On the other side, the poisonous fog was slowly drifting down the mountain. Once it merged into the river, it would definitely cause a large-scale plague. How would Li Yi solve the current trouble? Let's take a look together.
It is said that it is impossible to control insects in this snowy plateau, so the means that Kan Jin and Zou Sha can use will also be limited. And because Li Yi consumed too much energy before, he could no longer expand the Martial Saint Ming Wang Dharma Image, and then stay in the Dharma Image with peace of mind, and use the reverse brush to break the seal.
If Li Yi's previous battle with Qi Jue Gu was a contest of magic, his current battle with Kan Jin and Zou Sha was pure hand-to-hand combat. Fortunately, this was an uninhabited area, otherwise, with their fighting style of leveling mountains and filling valleys, breaking rocks and cutting off water, no one would survive.
When Kan Jin pierced Li Yi's chest with the tip of his staff and defeated the Dharma image of the Martial Saint Ming Wang, he also knocked Li Yi away, and he crashed heavily into the mountain, creating a big hole in the rock.
Fortunately, he was wearing the precious robe Qinglu Ningsha that Qingluo had refined for Dayi, otherwise the attack would have caused him considerable damage. Moreover, he had also broken the seal of the witch curse and was able to freely mobilize his qi and righteous energy.
Li Yi, with a reddish-brown aura emanating from his body, transformed the Heaven-Measure Ruler into a spear and carried the Heaven-Shooting Sun Bow on his back. He said in a cold voice, "We've been beaten for so long, let's start the second round now!"
Li Yi crushed the rock with his foot and rushed towards Kan Jin. The latter pushed away the spear and punched at his face, but was neutralized by Li Yi's elbow. Just as he was about to gather his righteous energy and use Confucian and Taoist magic, Zou Sha attacked from behind. The Tiandi ruler changed its form and the tail end quickly extended. Zou Sha put up his knife to block again, but was directly knocked away.
Kan Jin waved his staff, and four poisonous snakes engraved with curses emerged from the skull and crawled towards Li Yi along the spear. He wanted to seal Li Yi's qi and righteousness again.
The same move naturally prevented Li Yi from being hit again. The Thunder Seal on his right hand lit up, and purple lightning was transmitted along the spear, not only turning the venomous snake into charcoal, but also paralyzing Kan Jin. Gu masters who were proficient in corpse Gu were not afraid of the Purple Sky Thunder, but it would still take some time to restore their own bioelectricity.
Li Yi seized the opportunity to draw the Jitian Shooting Sun Bow, nocked the Lingyu Arrow, condensed his righteousness and Qi base and shot an arrow at Zou Sha. However, without the blessing of Buddhism, he was unable to unleash the power of the Jitian Shooting Sun Bow. Although he hit the target, it did not cause fatal damage.
Zou Sha immediately used witchcraft to heal himself, and Kan Jin had already recovered. He stood in front of Zou Sha and used witchcraft to summon four magic balls of wind, thunder, water and fire, and waved his staff to push them towards Li Yi.
The black wind ball and the blue water ball overlapped to form an ice snake, freezing everything it passed through. The white thunder ball and the red fire ball merged to form a red bird, which flew in front of Li Yi in the blink of an eye.
Li Yi gathered his righteous spirit and teleported himself behind Kan Jin with his words, then pierced Zou Sha's chest with his laurel wood sword. Under the influence of the Yue Lao Fate Method, Zou Sha's body slowly shrank and became nutrients for the sapling.
Seeing this, Kan Jin held his staff upside down with both hands and slammed it into the ground, trying to set up a trap and then run away. But Li Yi did not give him this opportunity. He used the long sword transformed from the measuring ruler to directly cut off his staff and kicked him away.
Li Yi glanced at the growing tree, and said calmly with a righteous spirit: "Magic machine gun, fire dragon bomb, earth dragon bomb, ice dragon bomb, thunder dragon bomb!"
The righteous energy emanating from Li Yi condensed into four dragon heads, spitting out countless fireballs, stones, ice cones and spherical lightning. The continuous magic bullets suppressed Kan Jin with firepower like a machine gun.
The shooting lasted for a quarter of an hour until Li Yi's righteous energy was exhausted. Looking at Kan Jin again, his clothes were disheveled, his hair was messy, and his body was covered with wounds. Although the wounds were not serious, he looked particularly embarrassed.
Li Yi looked at Kan Jin and did not dare to relax at all, because what he saw under Kan Jin's injured skin was not muscle tissue, but the shell of the insect!
He knew what this meant. The will of the Gu Shencao was about to come, and he couldn't imagine how strong Kan Jin, who possessed strength close to that of the second rank, would be after the insect transformation.
Seeing the insect tentacles coming out of Kan Jin's mouth, his muscles began to swell, and then turned into a meat ball, Li Yi immediately pulled the Heaven-Shooting Sun Bow, trying to stop the insect transformation. He mobilized his Qi and spiritual power to shoot at full strength, and eight Sun-hunting arrows were fired in succession, all of which pierced the mutated meat ball.
Li Yi adjusted his Qi base and watched the flesh ball with eight more holes still growing bigger. Dark green body fluids spurted out from the burnt holes and polluted the surrounding land. He couldn't help but frown.
In desperation, Li Yi decided to use the Seven Absolute Sword Intentions that he had cultivated for so long to make a final attempt. He took out the sword case from the sack and stood in front of him, raising his right hand and slowly placing it on the sword case.
With a loud bang, the sword box opened, and the seven swords trembled continuously, then rose up one after another, slowly circling around Li Yi. He was gathering the seven swords' wills together, preparing to use the seven swords' ultimate move, Hunyuan Slash.
As the Seven Absolute Swords spun faster, the seven-color halo gathered in Li Yi's palm, and he stretched out his hand and grabbed the Laurel Wood Sword. He gave the sword the sword's sword intent, mobilized his Qi base, used the Divine Thunder Seal to transform his talent into righteousness, and injected it into the sword.
Li Yi raised the sword while chanting, "The seven emotions and sword intent will finally unite into one, then adjust the spirit of heaven and earth, the Tao will converge and return to its original source, and the ghosts and gods will weep with one slash of Hunyuan." When Li Yi raised the Laurel Sword above his head, he mobilized the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and gathered it on the sword, and then slashed at the meat ball that Kan Jin had transformed into.
But the seven-colored sword energy was seen sliding along the ground, cutting out a large rift. The neat sword marks might be admired by future generations as the wonders of nature. This sword, along with the Sunlit Golden Mountain in the distance, were split in half.
Li Yi stepped on the long sword transformed from the measuring ruler, hovered above the rift valley, and used the bat sound skill to explore the situation at the bottom of the valley. The meat ball transformed by Kan Jin was also split open, but he had turned into a half-human, half-insect monster, with a centipede body and a human upper body, but with four arms and two pairs of pincers.
The lower half of his centipede was cut off, and although it was still wriggling, dark green fluid kept gushing out of the cut. Kan Jin used his hands to seal the wound on the upper half of his body with Gu magic, and three pairs of tentacles grew out. He stared at Li Yi viciously, obviously determined to fight to the death.
Li Yi hovered in the air and looked down at Kan Jin, who suddenly sprayed a stream of venom at him, which was dodged by Li Yi with his sword. The venom fell and corroded the ground.
Several vultures landed on the lower half of Kan Jin's centipede body, raised their heads to drink the dark green body fluid or pecked at his internal organs, but fell to the ground and died in the blink of an eye.
“It seems we can’t just leave it alone.” Li Yi raised his left hand and wanted to use the red lotus fire to burn the lower body of the monster insect, but his Buddhist Dharma had been exhausted and had not recovered, so he couldn’t use it at all.
"I'm afraid ordinary fire won't be able to burn it all clean, but this is the only way, Yanlong!"
Li Yi released his talent and condensed it into a fire dragon, spewing fire and flying towards the lower body of the monster insect, but was blown to pieces by the flames sprayed by Kan Jin. Li Yi frowned and raised his hand to call back the eight spirit feather arrows, but they were intercepted by his tentacles and pincers, and then spewed venom everywhere to pollute the land, forcing Li Yi to come down for a decisive battle.
After adjusting his qi base, Li Yi slowly landed on the ground and stood in front of Kan Jin. He was about two meters tall now, and even with half of his centipede body, he was still two or three meters long.
Kan Jin stopped spitting out poison, and held a talisman in each of his four hands, chanting a spell while stepping towards Li Yi. The latter dodged, but Kan Jin's centipede body swept over, and each leg had an extremely sharp poisonous stinger. Li Yi now did not have the Buddhist Dharma to use the "Bag Spell" to detoxify, so he turned over and jumped high.
But Kan Jin seemed to have calculated Li Yi's reaction and cast the four spells. This was witchcraft, controlling thunder, or golden lightning. Li Yi dodged the first two lightning strikes, but failed to dodge the last two. He used the Purple Sky Divine Thunder to collide with the third golden thunder, and then used the Divine Thunder Seal to withstand the fourth lightning strike.
Being hit by the golden thunder, although the damage was not great, it was very painful. Li Yi now understood why the Heavenly Dao arranged for him to practice the Purple Thunder Bone Tempering Technique, which was all prepared for the harm of the Gu God Grass! When he really confronted the Gu God, the power of the golden thunder would be even stronger.
Kan Jin laughed, and curved knives grew out of his palms. He formed seals with his hands, and then attacked again with the knife and the talisman. This time, his sword was equipped with golden thunder. Once hit by it, even if it was only paralyzed for a moment, the body and head would be separated.
Li Yi immediately stepped back to distance himself, and transformed the measuring ruler into a long stick, preparing to fight at medium distance. But Kan Jin seemed to be better at this, and the talisman in his hand formed a ring, continuously shooting golden thunder at Li Yi, as if in retaliation for Li Yi's previous magic machine gun.
Because of the distance, Li Yi had more time to prepare this time. He used his words to teleport himself behind Kan Jin. He wanted to sneak attack him from behind and stab him in the ass, but the other person had three pairs of tentacles on his back to guard against this move.
So as soon as Li Yi appeared, three pairs of tentacles discovered him and tried to entangle him. Li Yi could only leap back again to create distance, but Kan Jin had turned around and chopped at him with both swords. Li Yi immediately flew in the air with his sword to avoid the attack.
Li Yi realized that his previous difficulty in movement was probably due to his failure to adapt to his new body. Now, it seemed that Kan Jin should have adapted almost completely. He would have to be more careful if he had to engage in close combat again.
Kan Jin suddenly pointed to the sky, and a golden thunder was activated in his palm, followed by a thunderbolt. Fortunately, the warrior's danger warning gave a response, otherwise this attack would have been unexpected. Li Yi looked at the sky in surprise. He couldn't figure out how Kan Jin could attract thunderbolt to strike him.
"Didn't I tell you? The Gu God is the child of Heaven. So it's not just Confucianism and Taoism that can use thunder. We in the Witchcraft Cult can use it too!" As he spoke, Kan Jin threw out several thunder talismans, and at a speed faster than Li Yi's sword. If Li Yi hadn't jumped back to the ground in time and teleported away with his words, he would have nearly been hit.
Li Yi thought: This won't work, this guy is better at using thunder than me. So he gathered his righteous energy and said, "It is forbidden to use thunder here!"
As soon as he spoke, the thunder talisman in Kan Jin's hand lost its spirituality. He said coldly: "No need for thunder, I have other means!" Then he took out other talismans.
Li Yi knew that witchcraft was more ancient than Taoist magic, and that Kan Jin, who was blessed by the will of the Gu God, had a much greater range and power than before. If he used this magic again, he would definitely not be his opponent.
Although he didn't know what kind of witchcraft Kan Jin used, as long as it was witchcraft, spiritual energy must be mobilized. So Li Yi once again gathered his righteous energy and said, "Seal all spiritual energy here!" As soon as he finished speaking, the wind stopped, the spirits stopped, and a void without spiritual energy formed around the two of them.
All the talismans in Kan Jin's hands lost their spirituality, and Li Yi could not use any Taoist techniques, not even his martial arts Qi base.
"Hmph, you are no match for me with just your physical body. Sacrifice your soul to the Gu God immediately!" After saying that, Kan Jin suddenly burrowed into the ground.
Without the bat sound skill and spiritual awareness, Li Yi was unable to determine Kan Jin's location, but the vibration under his feet allowed him to dodge the four scimitars stabbed by Kan Jin in time.
But the latter's physical advantage was reflected. He swung half of the centipede's body, knocking Li Yi away. The moment Li Yi landed, he smashed him down again, embedding Li Yi into the soil.
Kan Jin sneered and turned to check on Li Yi, only to find that he had disappeared. He looked around but could not find Li Yi. In fact, Li Yi pierced the plate armor on the centipede's abdomen with a laurel sword and hung himself on it with a measuring ruler, but Kan Jin did not find him.
The nervous system of this insect is different from that of other creatures. Maybe the pain nerves are not very sensitive or blocked by something. Otherwise, how can the male mantis be eaten by the female mantis without any reaction? How can the other organs of the fly work normally when its head is detached?
Kan Jin was looking for Li Yi everywhere when he suddenly felt something unusual, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. He just felt his body getting heavier and heavier, and was shrinking continuously, until he could no longer move and fell to the ground. When he saw Li Yi turn over and jump out, he realized that he was probably going to die.
The reason why Li Yi dared to take this risk and fight Kan Jin without any spiritual energy was all because of the laurel wood sword in his hand, because the people of the Wu Gu Cult did not know the existence of Yue Lao, let alone what fate was.
Before he died, Kan Jin looked at Li Yi with reluctance, and just that moment of eye contact pulled Li Yi's consciousness to his own spiritual platform.
As mentioned before, Witchcraft is similar to Buddhism in that both are about cultivating spiritual power, but the focus of witchcraft is on developing insects, while Buddhism places more emphasis on cultivating the mind.
Kan Jin's spiritual platform was also a void, but it had been replaced by a purple-black world. Kan Jin stood in the center of the spiritual platform, with a stone statue of the Gu Shencao behind him.
"A dying man can still pull me directly onto your spiritual platform. Elder Kan is indeed amazing."
"Humph, it's just that the Gu God has something to say to you!"
"I have nothing to say to him."
"Don't be so arrogant young man, your soul will become food for the Gu God sooner or later!"
The stone statue of the Gu God behind Kan Jin began to tremble, like the skin of a wall peeling off. When the stone skin completely retreated, the strange appearance of Cao Hai was revealed. Cao Hai waved his tentacles and spit out his snake tongue and crawled towards Li Yi. His long body wrapped around Li Yi several times.
Cao Hai lowered his head and said, "Don't think you are so powerful just because you killed a few elders of the Wu Gu Cult. I can create as many humans of this level as I want with the Gu worms. You humans are greedy. As long as I can give them power, someone will work for me, so I don't care about these things at all.
Boy, your soul is very powerful, and the luck of the human race in you is what I need most! Eating you will have a better effect than eating the King Gu and the High Priest! Did the Heavenly Dao really send you to kill me? Why do I feel like you are a gift from heaven to me, a gift to help me completely revive?
Could it be that he has changed his mind? Is it because I found a way to make the Gu worm provide the power of faith, so he wants me to become the master of heaven and earth again? This is very possible. "
Li Yi looked at the Gu God with contempt and said coldly: "You are a god and demon who is tens of thousands of years old, how can you still daydream like a child! I advise you to face reality!"
"Reality? Boy, how do you know that what you feel is reality? We are all just pawns of heaven. You have seen what happened to me. Why do you still have to believe that old guy? Why don't you and I join forces and fight against heaven together!"
"Oh, you still want to rebel against heaven? If heaven is gone, this world will be gone too. How will you live then?"
"What I mean by going against the Heaven is not to destroy the Heavenly Dao, but to weaken the divine power of the Heavenly Dao, so that he can only be a spectator like before. We can still do this. First, we will cut off his power of faith, and then find my original soul from hell.
In this way, I can take away half of Tiandao's divine power and make Tiandao lose the ability to interfere in the affairs here. Boy, what do you think? Are you interested?"
"Aren't you afraid that Empress Tai'an will kill you again?"
"Tai'an is indeed powerful, but I just need to serve her well and give her whatever she wants. Anyway, she rarely leaves Houtu Cave and doesn't bother to care about the trivial matters in this world, so she won't do anything to me."
Li Yi looked at the increasingly darkening spiritual platform around him, shook his head and chuckled, "Ideals are full of hope, but reality is very skinny. Damn it, there is no need for Queen Tai'an to take action against you! Just wait for me at the bottom of the abyss!" After he finished speaking, the entire spiritual platform darkened, and Kan Jin was dead...
Li Yi, whose consciousness returned to his body, removed the effect of the ban on his words and lay directly on the ground. But he didn't have much time to rest, because there was still a plague for him to resolve.
Li Yi stood up with great difficulty, inserted the laurel wood sword into the other half of Kan Jin's centipede body, and used the law of fate to transform a tree, using its roots to absorb the toxins that polluted the land. He leaned against the tree to meditate and chant, seizing the time to restore Buddhism.
As soon as the place was cleaned up, Li Yi flew on his sword again, looking for the poisonous fog. Under the guidance of the Heavenly Dao, he finally used the Purple Sky Divine Thunder to resolve the crisis before the situation deteriorated to an unmanageable level.
After solving all the problems, Li Yi didn't know where he was. Exhausted, he forced himself to cross the snow-capped mountains and saw the grassland. This was obviously not the land of Chu, but before he found the herdsmen, he could no longer hold on and fell from mid-air, unconscious...
