Chapter 550: Gu Cultivator Li Jiuqu

Random Recommendations:

The first duel between generals was unfolding.At the edge of the battlefield,Sun Ning and Ning Zhuo both rode the Thousand Li Roaming Dragon, quietly observing from the dragon's head cabin.Blood Shadow Cave Master, who had once made things difficult for them, was currently clashing with Lei Qingyang, a righteous Nascent Soul cultivator from the Two Streams Kingdom.

"If Lei Qingyang has no means to see through it, Blood Shadow Cave Master can firmly hold the initiative with his true and false clones," Sun Lingtong commented.Ning Zhuo nodded slightly, also agreeing with this assessment."Learned something!""It seems next, I also need to master a technique to see through disguises.""Previously, Master Lin Bufan's misfortune was also due to the enemy's extremely potent illusionary arts."

Sun Lingtong grumbled, "Little Zhuo, you have too much to learn."Ning Zhuo, unusually not hearing the hidden meaning, nodded deeply with a serious expression, "Yes, I am still too young, and there is indeed much to learn!"Sun Lingtong opened her mouth, "Don't forget, I've got your back. My Spirit Eyes can see through many illusions."Ning Zhuo chuckled, "Having Boss is naturally good. But I still need to learn some things, just in case.""However, considering Boss's talent, perhaps I should postpone this learning plan.""Learning how to disguise myself and the methods of creating clones is also possible."Sun Lingtong: ...

As the two conversed, Blood Shadow Cave Master and Lei Qingyang engaged in several more rounds of combat, neither gaining the upper hand.Suddenly, Heavenly Master Lei let out a sharp cry, and the Heavenly Gang Thunderstrike Sword pierced through the pervasive blood mist. Violent thunder energy scattered in all directions, blasting out Blood Shadow Cave Master's true body.This scene caused all the cultivators from both armies to be startled.Among the Thousand Peaks Forest Alliance, the expressions of most people changed simultaneously. In contrast, within the Two Streams Kingdom's camp, there was a wave of cheers.In the previous few rounds of engagement, Lei Qingyang had gradually been pushed into a disadvantage precisely because it was difficult to distinguish truth from falsehood.Now, he had found a method to see through the location of the true body, which meant the battle situation would change accordingly.

Blood Shadow Cave Master's true body was struck and not lightly wounded.His body was engulfed in a surge of blood light, transforming into a hundred-zhang sea of blood.Nine colossal blood pythons soared from the sea of blood, stirring up a vast blood tide. Their wide-open mouths spewed forth countless bloody malevolent thunderbolts.Both armies fell silent, holding their breath, knowing that this was the most crucial moment of the battle!

Seeing the unprecedentedly fierce offensive unleashed by his opponent, Lei Qingyang made a decisive move and bit the tip of his tongue.He spat a mouthful of vital essence blood onto the Heavenly Gang Thunderstrike Sword, causing ancient thunder patterns to appear on the sword body.The Heavenly Gang Thunderstrike Sword flew high into the sky.Lei Qingyang then sent his thirty-six Evil Dispelling Thunder Jades flying around the Heavenly Gang Thunderstrike Sword, using the Thunderstrike Sword as the core of a formation, quickly constructing an array.Finally, holding the Thunder Swamp Gourd in one hand, he released a large amount of thunderclouds once more.The thunderclouds enveloped the thirty-six Evil Dispelling Thunder Jades and the Heavenly Gang Thunderstrike Sword entirely, rapidly expanding, quickly pushing aside the sea of blood, and occupying half of the battlefield.Divine Ability — Nine Heavens Thunder Bright Body."Nine Heavens Thunder Prison, open!"

Lei Qingyang shouted, using his divine ability to summon the thunder of the nine heavens. Countless bolts of lightning, shooting from all parts of his body, went from bottom to top, into the thunderclouds.The thunderclouds churned ceaselessly, emitting rolling thunderous roars, quickly transforming into a temporary thunder pool.Blood Shadow Cave Master's blood pythons and bloody malevolent thunderbolts were all annihilated in the eruption of the thunder pool. The sea of blood was evaporated, leaving only a three-zhang core area.Lei Qingyang roared again, unleashing thousands of bolts of lightning, decisively annihilating the remaining core of the sea of blood with a single push.The thunderlight dissipated, leaving only a blood pearl floating in mid-air at the core of the sea of blood.Lei Qingyang narrowed his eyes, about to unleash further means to extinguish the blood pearl as well.The next moment, the blood pearl suddenly exploded, transforming into a blood thread, shooting straight towards him.The blood pearl was too fast, causing countless watching cultivators to show expressions of shock, unable to see clearly for a moment.In this critical moment, Lei Qingyang's body suddenly burst with electric light, carrying him to the right.The blood thread grazed his neck, leaving a long wound, then stopped in the distant high sky, transforming back into Blood Shadow Cave Master's true body.Blood Shadow Cave Master was panting heavily, utterly exhausted.The wound on Lei Qingyang's neck had stopped bleeding. He slowly turned around, his robust body's robe fluttering. His voice was as steady as a mountain: "You have lost."

The battlefield was silent.Even Sun Ning and Ning Zhuo felt that Lei Qingyang, who controlled the temporary thunder pool, indeed held a great advantage and had seized the momentum for victory.Although Blood Shadow Cave Master's desperate counterattack just now was shocking, it had minimal effect, showing that Blood Shadow Cave Master was already showing fatigue.However, Blood Shadow Cave Master burst into laughter, "No, I have won."As soon as his words fell, venomous blood oozed from the corner of Lei Qingyang's mouth. The venomous blood was bluish, and exceptionally foul-smelling.Lei Qingyang quickly used his methods to suppress the toxin.But the toxin within his body erupted at this moment, like a mountain roaring and a sea surging, difficult to restrain.Lei Qingyang's aura plummeted all the way down, directly hitting rock bottom.The thunder patterns on his palm even disintegrated because of this. The temporary thunder pool was even more difficult to sustain, instantly disintegrating into thirty-six Evil Dispelling Thunder Jades and a Heavenly Gang Thunderstrike Sword. As for the vast thunderclouds, they were completely consumed and vanished without a trace.

Lei Qingyang gritted his teeth, crushing the jade pendant at his waist, immediately summoning a bolt of thunderlight.The thunderlight enveloped him, piercing through the air, and quickly returned to the Two Streams Kingdom's camp.Zhao Xi and the others hurried forward to greet him, "Quick, heal Heavenly Master Lei!"Lei Qingyang waved his hand in refusal, "The first duel between generals is of great importance, yet I have lost. I no longer have the face to burden everyone with consuming their magic power to heal me.""I can handle it!""Next, I can only rely on everyone."Lei Qingyang staggered back from the city wall and went to seclusion to heal himself, a matter not to be mentioned further.

Over there, Blood Shadow Cave Master was also greatly depleted, unable to fight again. He weakly returned to the formation, causing a wave of cheers.The cheers echoed into the Two Streams Kingdom's camp, particularly jarring.Zhao Xi frowned deeply. As the leader, he had to face the current predicament and solve the immediate problem."The first duel between generals was lost, the situation is unfavorable. The second round absolutely cannot be lost!"Zhao Xi glanced around at the Nascent Soul cultivators beside him. While he was hesitating, another cultivator flew out from the Thousand Peaks Forest Alliance.This person's appearance was quite horrifying.His body was hunched like an old ape, his skin was corpse-green, its surface covered with honeycomb-like pores. Countless black maggots burrowed in and out of the pores, eating rotten flesh and then spitting out poisonous threads to repair his body.He had no hair on his head, replaced by a translucent membrane of flesh. Under the membrane, one could see three leeches swimming in gray-white brain matter, a nauseating sight.His nose bridge was烂 and perforated. Instead of normal eyeballs in his eye sockets, they were embedded with two poisonous beehives.幽green phosphorus fire flickered in the hexagonal holes of the beehives.

"Old man Gu Cultivator Li Jiuju, hehehe, who dares to come and die?"As he spoke, the corners of his mouth were torn to his ears, revealing a mouthful of sawtooth black teeth. His tongue was even parasitized by a large patch of sickly green moss, its purpose unknown."Li Jiuju?!""It's really him!""Didn't expect him to be really hiding in the Thousand Peaks Forest.""Terrifying! This person is a Gu Cultivator, whose main cultivation technique is the 'Ten Thousand Maggots Devouring Immortals Technique'. To cultivate this technique, one must hollow out their own bones and fill them with infant devouring-immortal maggots, feeding them with one's own vital essence blood. The corrosive poison secreted by the maggots can dissolve magical treasures and also devour the enemy's flesh and blood to nourish the host."

On the side of the Two Streams Kingdom, the cultivators discussed endlessly, their expressions all solemn.In terms of reputation alone, Li Jiuju was notorious, a wanted criminal in multiple cultivation nations, much more significant than Blood Shadow Cave Master.Because of the relaxed environment of the Thousand Peaks Forest, Li Jiuju had been hiding there.Now, in the second great battle, he appeared for the first time, catching the Two Streams Kingdom off guard, and also surprising the Thousand Peaks Forest Alliance.This was because Li Jiuju had been hiding his identity before going into battle; they were unaware.Lu Hongtu was also kept in the dark. Seeing Li Jiuju at this moment, he subconsciously cast his gaze towards Master Long.Master Long was expressionless, seated in the main seat.The second great battle was of great importance, especially concerning the Dragon King Giant Wood Mountain. The entire Dragon King Temple attached great importance to it. Master Long mainly invited Young Master Shengxu, while Li Jiuju was hired with heavy rewards by other temple priests of the Dragon King Temple.

"Hehehe, are you deaf or mute, not understanding the old man's words?"Li Jiuju challenged again.Undoubtedly, Li Jiuju was a formidable enemy!The Nascent Soul cultivators of the Two Streams Kingdom looked at each other, finding it difficult to make a decision for a moment.Zhao Xi was also hesitant. In his opinion, whoever went up had no certainty of winning, and might even lose their life!

Just then, one person voluntarily stepped forward, "I will fight him."Everyone's eyes immediately turned to the speaker. They saw him in a black robe, with a mynah bird standing on his shoulder. Who else could it be but Mo Yechen?Zhao Xi: "You..."Mo Yechen smiled faintly, "Lord Zhao, fellow comrades, please rest assured. I am volunteering to fight, not to seek death, but because I have a certain degree of confidence.""Of course, if any of you have more confidence than I do, I, Mo Yechen, am willing to yield."No one responded.Zhao Xi nodded helplessly, watching with worry as Mo Yechen flew out of the city wall.Li Jiuju had challenged twice, reducing the morale of the Two Streams Kingdom's army by two notches. He couldn't be allowed to continue.

Li Jiuju vs. Mo Yechen."A fool who voluntarily comes to die, hehehe, then I'll start by killing you." Li Jiuju's black robe billowed, and all the pores on his body emitted cries like those of infants.The cries were piercing, drilling into people's hearts, disturbing their magic power and affecting their minds.Mo Yechen made no move. The mynah bird on his shoulder's pupils shimmered with starlight, suddenly emitting a clear whistle that penetrated the heavens and earth.As the mynah bird made a sound, it immediately revealed its Nascent Soul level aura. The whistle suppressed the crying sounds, scattering countless silver rays across the battlefield.

"This bird is actually a Nascent Soul level demonic beast!" Ning Zhuo exclaimed.Sun Lingtong also changed color slightly, "Back then, I didn't see through its true nature."Previously, Du Tiechuan had dispatched four armies to actively invade the Thousand Peaks Forest, using this to probe the enemy's military deployment.After Ning Zhuo, with the help of talismans, was transported to the Red Flower Camp and helped Mu Lan shoot down Di Lu and defeat the Ancient God Cang Yue, the mynah bird transmitted the order to retreat.Therefore, Sun Ning and Ning Zhuo, Mu Lan, and Zhang Zhongyi all had a brief encounter with this mynah bird.

Li Jiuju's body swayed slightly.His crying technique was suppressed. In annoyance, he took out a magical treasure.Corrupt Immortal Poison Basket!The poison basket was woven from cultivator's spine bones. Inside, it housed tens of thousands of poisonous gu, including Corrupt Skin Worms, Rotting Flesh Maggots, Bone-Eating Centipedes, and so on.Deep at the bottom of the basket, there was also a Mother Maggot Gu Queen, capable of controlling all the poisonous insects within a hundred li to form an insect tide.

Li Jiuju shook the Corrupt Immortal Poison Basket.A vast quantity of poisonous insects surged out like a black long river, rushing forth furiously.The swarming insects collided with each other, their exoskeletons rubbing, producing a grating metallic sound wave. The mouthparts of the maggots spewed out a massive amount of purple mist. Wherever it passed, plants and forests instantly turned to ash.Mo Yechen rapidly retreated, exchanging space for time.He still didn't make a move. The mynah bird on his shoulder flapped its wings and shrieked, the sound wave forming translucent ripples.The swarming insects collided with the sound wave, and large numbers of poisonous insects popped and burst. Sickly green and withered yellow fluid splattered in all directions in the high sky.

"Hehehe," Li Jiuju sneered, infusing his divine sense into the swarming insects.The next moment, over a dozen gu insects flew out from the swarm.The Corrupt Skin Worms charged first, corroding the sound waves. The Rotting Flesh Maggots rushed to Mo Yechen's vicinity and self-detonated, forming a highly toxic aura. The Bone-Eating Centipedes attempted to burrow into Mo Yechen's body, but were swallowed one by one by the mynah bird.

As soon as they were swallowed into the bird's belly, Li Jiuju immediately lost his close connection with the gu insects.This caused the infamous demonic path gu cultivator to frown instantly.Seeing this scene, the cultivators of both armies revealed surprised expressions.Sun Ning and Ning Zhuo also saw the trick.Sun Lingtong blurted out, "No wonder this person volunteered to fight. So this mynah bird has the ability to suppress gu insects."Ning Zhuo nodded. His attention was more focused on Li Jiuju's body: "A Nascent Soul level gu cultivator, this is the first time I've seen one."His heart stirred slightly, his emotions somewhat complex.For some reason, he seemed to have a different sentiment towards gu cultivators.

Seeing that the poisonous gu were ineffective, Li Jiuju immediately cast spells to attack the man and the bird.Mo Yechen finally made a move. He drew lines in the air, and spells clashed. For a time, the fight was inextricably linked.Li Jiuju's gu insects opened the eyes of the spectators. Mo Yechen unleashed a black tide, swallowing the light, hiding himself, defending steadily.Li Jiuju's strength was indeed powerful, clearly surpassing Mo Yechen's.But Mo Yechen was assisted by the mynah bird on his shoulder in this battle.This pet bird of his was not only Nascent Soul level but also possessed the power to suppress gu insects.The man and the bird supported each other, actually creating a stalemate with Li Jiuju.

Lu Hongtu observed the battle for a long time, transmitting a message with his divine sense to Master Long: "Li Jiuju is only famous in name. He can't even defeat Mo Yechen. Time is tight. Our advantage in the Nascent Soul level is likely to be lost due to the Two Streams Kingdom's reinforcements at any time."Master Long nodded and immediately ordered the other cultivators to go into battle."I am the Demon Heart Cave Master. The one opposite, come out and fight me!""Cang Yue Tribe, Gu Ya is here!""Old woman Green Vine Healer, hehehe, who wants to spar with me?""Gao Cuo has arrived, requesting guidance."For a time, nearly ten Nascent Soul cultivators were dispatched.Zhao Xi's face was extremely grim.The number of Nascent Soul cultivators on the Two Streams Kingdom's side was far inferior to that of the Thousand Peaks Forest. The feeling of having one's weakness firmly grasped by the enemy was truly unpleasant.

In this critical moment, a female cultivator stepped forward."Barbarians from beyond civilization, utterly arrogant.""I am the Kingdom's Princess, let me teach you a good lesson!"The speaker was none other than Princess Ingenuity, Shuang Ling.She flew high into the sky, releasing hundreds of flying automaton immortal maidens, surrounding herself."Come, all of you!" Shuang Ling challenged the many Nascent Soul cultivators on the enemy side.She actually intended to fight against a multitude!
