All Settled
Shaman is known for his fighting prowess.
Why? Because the gods of heaven Earthly Deity, Human-Ghost all protect him, the gods of the four directions guard him, and the spirits of various places accompany him, enabling him to draw upon the power of heaven, earth, mountains and rivers, or the spirits of ancestors.
Does Li Qi have any divine protection now?
Of course.
We will not discuss the ethereal gods of the four seasons, nor the unreliable gods of the Five Sacrifices Gods.
The only Human-Ghost he can rely on right now is Elder Li, the eighth-rank dead man from the Wang Family who was willing to forgive Li Qi after mediation.
He kept his word and, before leaving, gave Li Qi a blessing from the gods, namely three wisps of ghostly energy.
What is the purpose of this ghostly aura?
Bewitching!
Ghostly energy can cause people to become sluggish. If you obtain the energy of the dead and throw it at someone, the soul of the person affected will be sent flying and unable to possess another body!
If the spirit cannot possess the body, the result is that the person becomes disoriented and temporarily loses the ability to react. Without a strong enough will and perseverance, the ultimate skill cannot be resisted!
Li Qi used this tactic to launch a sneak attack and wipe out all the Boshan Sect disciples present, without making a sound.
It's the same now!
Use a dead man's head to attract attention, then launch a sneak attack from behind!
The sneak attack wasn't meant to achieve a victory, but rather to draw attention a second time.
He did not believe that Bao Dun was unaware of his own attack.
Clearly, Li Qi's guess was correct.
Bao Dun sensed the sneak attack from behind. His golden energy instantly intensified, and a metallic aura appeared around him, like a meat grinder, churning the willow branches with a crunching sound.
However, the willow branch was extremely resilient. Although it was constantly strangled and the force on it was dissipated, preventing it from causing any damage, the metal energy could not harm the willow branch itself at all.
This is Li Qi's greatest asset in his journey through the martial world.
It may seem like just an ordinary willow branch, but it has been infused with divine energy by a true Great Shaman and nourished by the divine energy of the Five Sacrifices Gods by Li Qi. Although it has little effect on the physical body, it is quite powerful on the soul!
With the willow branches blocked, Li Qi's goal was achieved.
Bao Dun focused all his energy on resisting the willow branches.
He was overjoyed after blocking the attack.
However, he immediately realized what was happening and shouted, "You're not using a knife?! You're using a whip?!"
Unfortunately, Li Qi ignored him. While he was expending his energy to defend against the willow branch, Li Qi had already unleashed his ghostly energy.
Having been distracted twice in a row, as the saying goes, things don't happen more than three times, and this time, he finally couldn't react.
The ghostly energy of the eighth rank surged directly into his body!
When the spirit is unstable and the soul has nothing to rely on, it is called "the body falls and the soul wanders," going about without end, like a bird leaving its nest or a snake emerging from its burrow. When the body is extremely empty, it will be difficult to react!
Seeing this, Li Qi decisively went up and lashed out with the whip again.
Don't forget, his willow branch is specifically designed to strike the soul!
With one lash, half of the soul was shattered!
Just like when he fought that ninth-rank Military School officer, he deliberately split his soul and placed it into the long sword, so he was knocked unconscious on the spot by Li Qi's whip.
The same thing happened now. Bao Dun was out of his mind, his soul was overflowing, and when he was whipped, he bled from all seven orifices on the spot. He curled up in pain, as if he had been placed on an electric chair and given 100,000 volts.
As a result, the golden aura surrounding him dissipated.
Without hesitation, Li Qi lashed out with his whip twice more, dispersing all of Bao Dun's overflowing soul. At the same time, he used his brute force, and the Ox-Strength Technique he had already activated emitted a puff of white smoke as he charged forward, stepping on Bao Dun's neck.
With a crack, his neck was crushed, and it was clear he wouldn't survive.
But Li Qi is the kind of person who will think twice before taking action, and may even seem indecisive. But once he makes up his mind to take action, he will definitely leave no trouble behind!
He kicked again, but the other person's skull was too hard, and he actually twisted his ankle.
"So hard..." Li Qi switched to one of the Boshan Sect's own swords and began chopping with all his might.
But when he was about to behead someone, he found that the sword was dulled and he couldn't cut the spine.
Upon dissecting the flesh, they discovered that Bao Dun, despite his apparent obesity, possessed bones as strong as diamond, with a metallic aura permeating his very bones, making them extremely tough and even cutting to the touch.
Li Qi felt a chill run down his spine, realizing Bao Dun's strength.
If he really had to go head-to-head with him, he reckoned he'd be smashed to pieces by the guy's bare hands. With that guy's physical body and that terrifying golden aura domain, he estimated he could take on more than three people like Li Qi. Li Qi would have a hard time hurting him; on the contrary, if he got close, he'd be turned into dumpling filling by the golden aura domain.
Unfortunately, Li Qi is not a melee fighter; he is Shaman, a spellcaster.
It is common knowledge that warriors can be easily defeated by spellcasters.
Forced out of his body by the ghostly aura, his soul was no longer attached to his body. Coupled with the whipping of the willow branch to beat his soul, a series of attacks rendered his steel-like body useless. His soul was scattered, leaving him nothing more than a shell to be slaughtered.
Seeing that he couldn't cut off the man's head, Li Qi switched to another sword, pierced the man's heart, and tore his internal organs to shreds. Only after confirming that the man was dead did he stop.
There's no way around it; in a world rife with Ox Ghosts and Snake Gods, we have to be on guard.
Who knows, before we've finished dealing with everything, the person might come back to life?
The five internal organs contain the Five Constant Energies. The reason why people are intelligent and wise is because they contain the Five Constant Energies. When a person dies, the five internal organs decay. When they decay, the five constant qi have nothing to rely on, and the wisdom stored within them has been lost.
The reason why people are intelligent and wise is because they contain the Five Constant Energies. When a person dies, the five internal organs will decay. When the five internal organs decay, the Five Constant Energies have nowhere to reside. At this time, the ghost will lose its mind.
The so-called mutilation of the corpse serves this purpose; by destroying the body, the ghost will find it difficult to remain.
Furthermore, his soul was also shattered by the willow branch, so he can forget about reincarnation and will simply become a part of the world.
After doing all that, Li Qi cleaned up the scene. He wasn't injured, so he just erased the footprints, handprints, and other traces. Then, he gathered up the spoils, put them in the fire, and set the pleasure boat on fire.
He didn't take anything, so it wouldn't be easy to track him down.
He then immediately jumped into the Li River, submerged himself at the bottom, and followed the current out of the city.
There was no movement at all throughout the entire process.
All that could be seen was the painted boat behind them engulfed in Great Fire, with shouts of "Fire!" and "Fire!" echoing everywhere.
But Li Qi didn't care. He swam quickly underwater, dozens of meters deep, back to Wave-Pushing Gang, took his long knife and basket, then picked up a stone and smashed Zhang Caitou's head, dispersing his soul.
Then he went back into the water and soon swam out of the city along the river.
Uncle Liu is a steady and reliable person, so there's no need to worry. He's already explained everything that needed to be explained, given out Carp Flowing Intent's cultivation method, and even given them six gold coins. The matter of the Wave-Pushing Gang is settled.
He swam a long way before finally reaching the shore, walking into the woods, and letting out a long howl.
A few minutes later, Old Ma arrived with a roar, carrying Shen Shuibi on his back.
"Oh, you're back? Are we leaving now?" Shen Shuibi asked.
"Let's go! This time we're not stopping!" Li Qi waved his hand and mounted his horse!
