A Hard-to-Raise Cat

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

"Choke!"

A sharp Sword-Ray flashed, and the monster's claws lashed out, colliding with the Sword-Ray. Lu Longting was forced back several feet, inwardly cursing his groin.

This monster is quite strong... Normally I wouldn't be afraid, but right now my strength hasn't recovered, so I'm at a disadvantage.

Just then, another person ran up from nearby, shouting, "Brother Lu, be careful! That's not Ting Feng! That bead is haunted, don't touch it!"

Lu Longting recognized this as a disciple of the Boundless Celestial Palace, but he forgot his name...

He shook his head helplessly. What's the point of your hindsight now? Haven't you seen that the battle has already begun? He had no time to answer the other party, as he was already locked in combat with the monster.

"Senior Brother Lu, I'm here to help you!" The man leaped over, raised his hand, and a bolt of lightning struck the monster's body.

The monster stiffened for a moment after being struck, Lu Longting shouted, "Good!" He then aimed his sword straight at the monster's brow.

He realized that this monster was formed from the condensation of the ferocity of this place over thousands of years, and had become a spirit by combining with the aura of living people. As long as the spirit dissipated, the seemingly invulnerable monster's body would naturally turn into the Netherworld.

This was actually Qin Yi's guess. It was one of the new changes in this place. The Witcher didn't know that such a thing had appeared in the past tens of thousands of years.

The monster roared, its claws snapping shut, trapping the tip of Lu Longting's sword in its grasp. Lu Longting unleashed his Sword Qi, preparing to execute the "Wave-Breaking Triple Layer" technique, when suddenly a sharp pain shot through his back!

He turned his head in disbelief, only to see the person who had just helped him fight the monster punch him in the back. Then, the person quickly transformed into the same shape as the monster in front of him.

This is also a fake!

Lu Longting roared, his Sword Qi surging, and the Stern Sun Divine Sword shone brightly, tearing the monster before him to pieces. Then, with a swift turn of his sword, he forced back the monster behind him.

With a "pfft," Lu Longting coughed up a mouthful of blood, feeling as if the attack had nearly shattered all his meridians, leaving him utterly powerless. Meanwhile, the monster that he had seemingly destroyed slowly began to regenerate.

Lu Longting knew that his sword strike had failed to shatter its spiritual essence and was therefore ineffective, but he hadn't expected the opponent to recover so quickly.

How can we get out of this sandwich?

Am I going to die here?

The monster behind him pounced again. Lu Longting managed to parry with his sword and quickly dashed to the side. Two more monsters gave chase.

As they fled, a Green Lamp appeared ahead, and behind its Green Lamp, Tai Puzi's face emerged. In this desolate place, the Green Lamp made his face appear ghostly. Without a second thought, Lu Longting thrust his sword forward.

"Damn it!" Tai Puzi dodged hastily, yelling, "Are you stupid? I came to save you!"

Lu Longting, Lu Longting was exhausted from his injuries and had been deceived twice. His mind was already in a state of confusion, and he could no longer listen to what Tai Puzi was saying. He swung his sword and slashed.

Tai Puzi had no choice but to retreat; this was the most troublesome part of the place.

It makes people start to distrust each other.

Since everyone came in, there was already an implicit competitive relationship, and everyone was wary of each other. That was fine, as everyone was on the Righteous Path, so they wouldn't go too far. Everyone still had some bottom line, especially since they were fellow disciples, they would rely on each other and it was difficult for them to fight amongst themselves.

After being separated, they fight amongst themselves, and while the competition for treasures is a minor issue, the main problem is that they've been deceived and manipulated in various ways, causing the twenty or thirty people who entered to become completely chaotic. They're all attacking anyone they see, acting like madmen. Forget about working together to break the deadlock; they've become each other's biggest enemies.

Even Lu Longting was not immune.

Tai Puzi knew he absolutely could not let Lu Longting die here. This was no longer a matter of competition; it was that with each death, everyone's strength would weaken, and if things continued like this, they might all die, and Tai Puzi himself would not survive.

Lu Longting is a very strong fighter. Although he has a bad temper and is arrogant, he is reliable. We must protect him no matter what!

He dodged Lu Longting's attacks while simultaneously lighting the Green Lamp.

The soul flame flickered.

The two monsters were about to reach Lu Longting's back when they suddenly stopped, pressing their heads and roaring.

Lu Longting's sword also struck Tai Puzi's ribs at the same time. Tai Puzi was manipulating the Law Treasure to deal with two evil spirits at the same time, which was extremely exhausting. He couldn't completely avoid the sword, and it barely grazed the ribs. A long gash was cut into his ribs, and blood was flowing freely.

Lu Longting was stunned. "Brother Dao... are you for real?"

"Of course my mother is real!" Tai Puzi cried out in pain, his face pale. "What kind of broken sword is this? Its Sword Qi is just rushing around randomly..."

"Uh, sorry..." Lu Longting turned to look at the two monsters. The monsters' bodies had begun to twist, clearly indicating that Tai Puzi's Soul Lamp had a great restraining effect on them.

"This is a malevolent spirit formed from the malevolent energy of this place. It has combined with the aura of a living person to form a physical form. The fact that it can take on the appearance of someone else means that person is already dead." Tai Puzi said breathlessly, "My Soul Lamp can't handle two at the same time. You hold one off while I focus on the other."

Lu Longting paused for a moment, then said, "I'm out of strength."

"Damn it!" The skilled Tai Puzi cursed several times in a short period of time, "You used your last bit of strength to fight me!"

The two monsters seemed to have broken free from the influence of the Soul Lamp, and their eyes turned blood red.

"I'm doomed to die here with you, you swordsman!" Tai Puzi was furious. "Is this place teaching us that we can't do good deeds?"

Lu Longting pursed his lips tightly and stood in front of Tai Puzi, saying, "Brother, please leave quickly. I can barely hold them off for a moment."

"What good is that!" Tai Puzi lit the Soul Lamp again, and at the same time, a wooden sword flew up, ready to fight to the death.

The two monsters roared and charged straight at them.

Just then, a flame silently surged up in front of the monster.

With a "boom," the two monsters turned to ashes at the same time, which then slowly coalesced in the air.

Lu Longting Tai Puzi were overjoyed at the same time. "Qin Yi!"

Two Soul Arrow shot into the two clumps of writhing ashes that were coalescing one after the other.

The scene seemed to pause for a moment, as if a ghostly face was howling mournfully in the air before disappearing. The ashes also drifted away silently, as if they had never existed.

"These two monsters are so simple, how did they manage to torment you like this?" Qin Yi, leading Cheng Cheng Li Qingjun, quickly approached. The whole family looked puzzled. "Did someone cast a weakening spell on you?"

Tai Puzi was speechless. "Haven't you ever encountered someone impersonating another person to deceive you?"

"I've run into him before," Qin Yi said. "I just ran into that guy from the Taiyi Sect. He called me 'Junior Brother' as soon as we met. Who says I'm his Senior Brother? I'd be lucky if he didn't kill me. What's with all this enthusiasm? Something's definitely up. I kicked him in the face."

"..."

Tai Puzi and Lu Longting looked at each other, then realized that Qin Yi had no dealings with anyone. In fact, he should be considered an enemy of everyone... They had cultivated for over a hundred years and knew quite a few people of the same path, and there were still various relationships between them, which was why they caused all sorts of trouble. But for Qin Yi, there was none of that. Every single one of them was an opponent.

"You two are the two I know best, so it's good that you're traveling together. I'll handle whoever we encounter later." Qin Yi took out two pills. "Hurry up and heal your injuries. I'll protect you."

As she spoke, Cheng Cheng waved her hand, and two beams of light landed on the heads of the two. A powerful nourishing and restorative effect surged through their bodies, and the two were overjoyed. "Five Qi Returning to Origin Technique! With the help of this technique, we can recover very quickly."

Qin Yi said, "That's why you must bring a strong healer when forming a combat team."

Cheng Cheng stood tall, while Li Qingjun looked ashen-faced.

Tai Puzi swallowed a pill and his gaze fell on the ground where the ashes had just dissipated.

There is a small bead there.

"This is the thing the monster tried to trick me into taking." Lu Longting forced himself not to look at his junior sister's jealous expression as she competed with someone else, and instead said, "Now it seems that this bead is an evil object, and it may be the cause of their possession."

Liusu's voice rang in Qin Yi's Sea of Consciousness: "This is Yin Soul Pearl, save it for me to eat."

Qin Yi: "???"

"This item is used to refine a kind of pill. It will be the right medicine for my recovery. Once I take it, I should be able to have Qian Yuan Level soul power. However, the auxiliary materials are hard to find, so I'll keep it for now."

Qin Yi then remembered that what Liusu needed was not only items to reshape her body, but also that her revival had been stalled for a long time because the right medicine was hard to find.

Unexpectedly, this adventure turned out to be very useful for Liusu in many ways.

This cat is really hard to raise...
