Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses

Chapter 698: Chapter 621: Malicious Provocation (Combined Chapter) (Part 2)

The opportunity for a breakthrough is right in front of her, and Ding Shiniang is anxious.

With a wave of her jade hand, several pea-sized transparent droplets flew out and struck the lake, ’thump thump thump,’ releasing three massive columns of water!

In the next instant, the blue lake water seemed to boil, ’glug glug,’ bubbling up violently.

One by one, bizarre-looking lake monsters surged forth.

These lake monsters had blue, semi-transparent bodies, only four limbs, no heads, most around ten feet high.

’Whoosh whoosh whoosh!’

Lin Xuan couldn’t wait and made the first move, launching beams of golden light filled with a killing intent.

Each time a lake monster was struck, it exploded, releasing strands of pale blue light from within, which were then collected by the professional jade bottle wielded by Elder Gui.

Subsequently, a gigantic lake monster, five feet tall, burst out of the water.

Its body appeared solid, entirely deep blue, though also headless, its chest and belly bore two white protrusions like eyes, giving it a menacing appearance.

Its revealed aura shockingly reached the Fourth Layer of the Spirit Platform level, only Lin Xuan among them could barely suppress it.

’Hiss!’

Without a word, Lin Xuan swiftly attacked, forming a sword with his fingers, striking the leader lake monster with another golden beam.

But the attack, usually invincible, only rippled across its body instead of breaking its defense.

“Roar!”

The lake monster was enraged, blue water columns surged from its body, shooting towards the team like high-pressure water guns.

The team didn’t dare face it head-on and dodged hastily.

Wherever the lake monster’s water guns hit the ground, a thick layer of ice formed, chilling to the bone, and then appeared dense, spiderweb-like cracks.

“This beast isn’t easy to deal with, we need to wear it down slowly!” Elder Gui shouted.

After saying that, thick, black-spiked green vines as wide as bowls danced around him, swiftly binding the lake monster.

Though most vines were broken by the beast, they significantly slowed its movement.

With Elder Gui’s assistance, the team heavily surrounded the lake monster leader, each exerting their Magic to launch a relentless assault.

Lin Xuan formed a sword with his fingers, constantly firing killing-intent-filled Starshard Golden Rays; Qin Dong chanted a Magic Spell, giant yellow hands emerged from the ground, grabbing at the lake monster;

He Shuli summoned Wind Blades almost as large as the lake monster, slashing towards it; Ding Shiniang mobilized seven or eight pieces of Water Element Spiritual Essence, each capable of making the monster stagger and its form ripple…

After about half an hour, the lake monster’s body was worn down to a much smaller size, its aura now plummeting.

’Whoosh!’

Lin Xuan fired another golden beam, severing one of the lake monster’s arms, this time it didn’t reattach itself, instead crumbled into a large pile of azure crystals on the ground.

“It’s reached its limit,” Elder Gui chuckled.

“Let me send it off!” Ding Shiniang licked her luscious lips with a sexy tongue, her eyes brimming with eagerness.

Just then.

“Oh wow, so many people, what a lively scene.” A sharp, familiar voice came from not far away.

“Who?”

“It’s that damn sissy!”

The team members were immediately on alert, taking defensive stances.

“A directive from the Trench Patrol Guest has been issued, aren’t you going to receive it immediately?” The sharp voice continued, clearly approaching the group.

“Finish off this beast first, lest problems arise later.” Ding Shiniang said, releasing seven or eight pea-sized droplets in formation.

To strike the limited lake monster leader all at once, ending it.

Suddenly, a dazzling Red Light flashed like lightning, standing in front of the lake monster, blocking those droplets completely.

“What are you doing?” Ding Shiniang was furious.

Her kill would allow absorbing its Spiritual Liquid, enabling unrestricted breakthrough to the Fourth Layer of the Spirit Platform, how could she tolerate being stopped by this unexpected guest?

Ding Shiniang intended to continue the attack, but the sharp voice scolded, “Sun-Devouring Demon Concubine, dare you ignore the Trench Patrol Guest’s order?”

Then, a figure approached Lin Xuan’s team.

Fair-skinned, serpent-like face, cheeks rouged, with a graceful figure, was precisely Zhou Nan, a rare man with feminine features who previously borrowed a Warrior from the team.

Ding Shiniang couldn’t be bothered with him, determined to continue slaying the spiritual creature.

But Zhou Nan continued to control the Flying Sword to block, as the scene was filled with red light flying back and forth.

“Get lost!”

Ding Shiniang summoned several water droplets once more, which collided heavily with the red Flying Sword, causing Zhou Nan to spit blood and fly backward.

’Isn’t this sissy cultivator supposed to be from the Fourth Layer of the Spirit Platform? Why is he so weak?’ Ding Shiniang thought to herself, but her hands did not stop moving.

Several hefty water droplets smashed the water demon leader into pieces.

A pure blue translucent white light flew out from its body and was absorbed by the jade bottle suspended in mid-air.

Ding Shiniang opened her white jade-like hand, painted with hookah dyes, as the jade bottle was about to fall into her grasp.

Her heart was excited, as once she consumed this Spiritual Liquid, she would immediately break through!

By then, both she and her son would be in the Fourth Layer of the Spirit Platform, and with their combined techniques, there is no place in the world where they couldn’t go.

Unexpectedly, just as the jade bottle was within three feet of her.

A gust of Yin Wind appeared silently, wrapping around the jade bottle like a hand and flew swiftly away.

“Where are you going?” Ding Shiniang was anxious, her body surging with powerful Water Element Spiritual Essence.

At the same time, an enormous hemispherical water-blue light screen appeared overhead, tightly enveloping the surrounding space.

But despite the Yin Wind’s faint appearance, its power was indeed remarkable, as a thread from it easily pierced through the water screen.

Then, carrying the jade bottle, it swiftly floated backward, disappearing into the gray mist at the edge of everyone’s sight, despite attempts to block it.

“Which bastard!” Ding Shiniang rarely swore, her eyes turning red.

With a wave of her sleeve, seven or eight hefty water droplets flew toward the direction where the jade bottle disappeared, wanting to crush the sneaky thief into meat paste.

“Bold!”

As a thunderous shout resounded, the seven or eight hefty water droplets were shattered, and a fully black five-layered tower flew out from the gray mist.

This five-layered tower appeared tangible, with each layer being ninety-nine feet tall.

The surface of the black foundation below was inscribed with numerous Taoist patterns and ancient characters, surrounded by black energy, resembling the legendary Ghost City, as it fiercely descended towards Ding Shiniang’s head!

Ding Shiniang felt the surrounding space solidifying, fear appearing in her eyes uncontrollably.

She felt as if she were facing a real mountain, with vast power, unstoppable forces!

“Not good!”

As Ding Shiniang looked to be suppressed by the five-layered Ghost City, the others from Lin Xuan’s squad became anxious and made moves.

Golden light, stone wall, Wind Blade, green vine… But in front of the five-layered Ghost City, none lasted more than an instant, all violently crushed!

But this respite finally awoke Ding Shiniang, who, using her last bit of strength, summoned more than twenty hefty water droplets, blocking the Ghost City’s inevitable path.

’Pop pop pop pop pop!’

’Pop pop pop pop pop!’

One hefty water droplet after another exploded, but it finally eased the spatial pressure around Ding Shiniang.

She forcibly broke free from the Ghost City’s confinement, swiftly retreating several hundred meters, before finally letting out a breath.

’Puff!’

The cost was steep, causing her to spit a large mouthful of vital essence, pale-faced, her breath turning feeble.

Ding Shiniang looked at her chest; what was once white was now thoroughly stained red, her expression grim.

Just previously, she’d been scratched by the remnants of the five-layered Ghost City, her injuries worse than imagined, likely taking fifteen to twenty years to recover.

From being one step away from a breakthrough to suddenly hindered by two decades, Ding Shiniang, furious and heart-struck, spat another mouthful of blood, worsening her injuries further.

’Tap tap tap.’

A figure emerged from the gray mist.

He wore a copper mask, was obese, and had disheveled hair – none other than the Trench Patrol Guest of Shisu District, ’He’.”

“Before, I heard that you don’t respect me, but I didn’t believe it.” He sneered coldly, “Never thought I’d witness it firsthand today!”

“Why do you say so, Sir?” Elder Gui hurriedly tried to patch things up, “No one in our team is disrespectful to you, Sir!”

“Ha, still daring to speak nonsense at this time!” The flamboyant male Zhou Nan, with blood on his lips, came over clutching his chest and said coldly, “Ignoring the decree from the Trench Patrol Guest, attacking the messenger with that decree.

Even more daring, launching an attack against the Trench Patrol Guest himself! Truly audacious!”
