Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 262 - 268: Pain

”No need to worry, itʼs just a small wound, it doesnʼt matter. Letʼs join forces to deal with these two first!” Li Shiqing shook his head, rejecting Li Zhiruiʼs suggestion, and after swallowing a blood-stopping pill and a Revitalizing Pill, he began to cast spells.

”Hmph!”

One of the demon cultivators snorted contemptuously and mocked, ”You just went all out to kill that Counterfeit Pill; how much strength do you have left now?”

As for Li Shiqing, although the injury to his arm was not severe, it still affected his combat abilities. For instance, when forming hand seals to cast spells, he was not as nimble as before.

”To deal with you, it is completely sufficient!” Li Zhirui sneered, having digested the previously ingested Spirit Revitalizing Pill, and without hesitation, he took another pill and tucked it under his tongue, then immediately summoned Thousand Spirits, unleashing its greatest power, and attacked the two.

At the same time, Li Zhirui casually scattered a handful of vine seeds, transforming the vicinity into a kingdom of vines, sprouting a variety of vines.

”Hahahahaha, it seems youʼve run out of tricks, resorting to such spells.” The Counterfeit Pill demon cultivator said, laughing loudly.

A glint of dark light flashed in Li Zhiruiʼs eyes, hoping he would still be able to utter such words after experiencing the power of the vines.

The vines were bizarre and varied, some exploded, and others were extremely agile, but the most important were the ten deadly poison vines that Li Zhirui had hidden among them!

In order to poison them in one go, he really splurged on resources this time, as the poison vine seeds in his hand were not plentiful.

”Uncle, go all out. As long as we break their defense, thatʼd be good. Iʼll have Da Qing help block the attacks!” Li Zhirui transmitted his voice.

No sooner had he spoken than a massive Qingxuan Turtle appeared before him, and in an instant, a Defensive Spiritual Light covered the two, protecting them.

”Okay, I got it!” Li Shiqing didnʼt ask why. He trusted Li Zhirui would not harm him, so he went into action without hesitation.

A long sword soared through the air, the howling of the wind incessant. A fierce wind converged around the cyan sword, with streaks of golden light threading through it, concealing lethal intent. In an instant, countless cyan wind swords flew towards the Counterfeit Pill demon cultivator.

The demon cultivatorʼs Spirit Sense jumped wildly, and for a fleeting moment, he seemed to see his own death. His body instinctively cast various defenses.

”Aaaaah!”

Engulfed by the wind sword, he was enshrouded in a hurricane from which wretched screams emerged.

It was unclear how much time had passed when the wind finally ceased, but the ground nearby had been stripped away to reveal dark-red soil, with occasional bits of flesh and bone.

”Cough cough…” After executing his killing move, Li Shiqing couldnʼt help but cough twice, and the wound on his arm that had stopped bleeding now began to ooze fresh blood again.

”Uncle, your Divine Power is truly formidable!” Li Zhirui felt extremely surprised.

Actually, he only wanted Li Shiqing to hold them off for a bit. As long as their defenses were shattered, he could easily kill them with those ten deadly poison vines. He hadnʼt expected Li Shiqing to give him such a surprise—a Divine Power Spell, and a terrifyingly lethal one at that!

Although Li Shiqing and Li Shilian had given up their own paths in cultivation due to resources and expectations placed on the younger generations of the Li family, in reality, they hadnʼt completely given up, and this powerful Divine Power Spell was proof!

If he hadnʼt had some understanding and mastery of the Laws of Wind, how could he have created such a Divine Ability Spell?!

And without a doubt, perhaps Li Shilian was also trying to create a Divine Power Spell.

Divine powers may sound grand, but in reality, theyʼre not quite so. They are simply spells that are a bit more powerful or, to put it another way, they carry a hint of the power of laws.

The more of the power of laws a divine power possesses, the more formidable it becomes, like the Heavenly Gangs and Earthly Fiendsʼ one hundred and eight divine powers.

But back to the matter at hand!

The remaining demon cultivator had not anticipated that their once-advantageous position would so suddenly deteriorate to such a state.

After witnessing Li Shiqingʼs terrifying killing move, he dared not stay any longer and fled toward the Blood Lake without looking back.

”Thinking of running away now? Isnʼt it a bit too late?” Li Zhirui noticed his movement, instantly controlled the vines to block his path, and let ten deadly poisonous vines continue to close in, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

At this critical moment between life and death, the demon cultivator dared not hold back at all; he slapped his corpse storage bag, gritted his teeth, and released all his refined corpses.

As long as he could survive, everything else was negotiable! It was just a matter of refining another batch of corpses; but if he died here, then it would all be over.

He had a total of five refined corpses, one of which was a third level, while the rest were all at the peak of the second level, more than enough to obstruct Golden Core cultivators.

Unfortunately for him, he encountered Li Zhirui.

”Ahhhhh!”

Just when he thought he had escaped with his life, three deadly poisonous vines suddenly rushed forward, piercing deeply into his flesh, and the remaining seven took advantage of his pause to rush forward in a swarm.

Immediately, a loud wail echoed in all directions, containing such pain that nearby cultivators all momentarily stopped what they were doing, turned to look, wanting to see what exactly was happening, as the scream made them empathetically feel that pain.

”This is poisonous!”

He uttered just these three words before starting to foam at the mouth, his body shaking uncontrollably, and he fell to the ground hard. Within less than half a minute, he was completely breathless!

”Hiss!” Li Shiqing couldnʼt help but gasp when he saw this scene, and asked, ”What is this thing of yours that is so terrifying?”

Although it seemed like he easily killed a Counterfeit Pill demon cultivator earlier, he had used all his mana to do it, and also, the other party was just a Counterfeit Pill, without a life-bound magic treasure.

But Li Zhirui was entirely different; without relying on divine ability spells or magic artifacts, just a few seemingly ordinary vines had claimed the life of a Golden Core demon cultivator!

”I stumbled upon a poisonous vine seed, and this is what I got after cultivating it.” Li Zhirui lied, as it was not convenient to explain the origin of the poisonous vine.

”Do you have more of these seeds?” If they could be cultivated on a large scale, the Li family would have an additional killing move that everyone could use!

After all, the spell to spur the growth of the vines was very simple, merely a first-tier spell, and even without a Wood Spirit Root, with some diligent practice, one could learn it.

”I still have some, but...” Li Zhirui shook his head, saying, ”But while growing, these vines will contaminate the surrounding environment with deadly poison. It will be a long time before other living beings can exist there again.”

”It doesnʼt matter, we can simply plant them on a distant island.”

Li Zhirui thought for a moment, then said no more, only remarking, ”Well, when we return to the clan, I will give you the seeds.”
