Evil Spirit's Birth

Qin Bo's entire aura instantly surged, the cleaver in his hand seeming to meld with him, emitting a sharp killing intent.

With a single chop straight down, the largest piece of meat at the center was directly split in two.

Then, chop after chop, cutting back and forth.

He minced the remaining pieces of meat as if he were grinding meat, turning them into a pile of minced meat on the ground.

Qin Bo looked at the pile of minced meat on the ground, panting slightly.

"Huff... I refuse to believe you can revive after being chopped up like this!"

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, a notification sound rang in his mind.

[Ding, killed resentful corpse aggregate]
[Gained 18 years of lifespan]

"18 years?! Holy crap, this thing gives a lot of lifespan."

"Resentful corpse aggregate, does that mean this thing is an anomaly made up of many corpses?"

"18 years, does that mean 18 corpses?"

Qin Bo muttered to himself.

Just as he was resting, he suddenly felt the surrounding mist begin to churn violently.

An even more powerful and eerie aura rapidly erupted from far away and approached.

Then it contracted again.

He saw the surrounding thick fog also slowly gathering towards the depths.

"Hmm?! What's going on?"

"Why is the thick fog all going to the deepest part?"

Qin Bo wondered.

He saw the distant thick fog actually gathering in the sky into a huge funnel shape.

Then, at the bottom of the funnel, a huge shroud covered the mountain depression.

"Hiss... isn't that where Dong-ge and the others are?"

"Is that old Taoist there too?"

A bad feeling welled up in Qin Bo's heart.

He didn't even bother with the fatigue from the recent battle, and he took off running towards the place where the thick fog was gathering.

Along the way, the fog became increasingly thin, all being sucked away by the huge funnel.

"My lifespan! Don't let it be snatched away!"

Soon, Qin Bo got closer and closer.

The powerful and eerie aura became more and more intense, and Qin Bo could even feel the ground beneath his feet trembling slightly.

Finally, he arrived at the edge of the huge funnel-shaped fog.

Through the gaps in the fog, he vaguely saw many figures swaying inside.

"So many?!"

Qin Bo was about to rush in, but found that he couldn't.

But found that he couldn't.

It was as if an invisible barrier was standing in front of him, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break through.

Qin Bo was anxious, his hands constantly patting and groping on the invisible barrier, trying to find a way to break through.

"What the hell is this thing?!"

Qin Bo couldn't help but curse.

"Damn it, I refuse to believe I can't chop you open!"

So he drew out the cleaver and chopped it directly.

Inside the thick fog.

A female evil spirit was fighting with the old Taoist.

The old Taoist didn't idle either, circulating the vital energy of his entire body, and rushed up with the peach wood sword.

The female evil spirit's neck twisted an anomaly one hundred and eighty degrees.

Black blood tears seeped from her empty eye sockets, and her screams made everyone's eardrums ache: "Blood... blood..."

The old Taoist's sword pierced into the black mist and could no longer penetrate!

The female evil spirit let out a sharp scream, and ghostly energy erupted around her.

Directly blasting him away.

The old Taoist staggered and knelt on one knee, the peach wood sword in his hand broken in two.

The red rope wrapped around the sword hilt had been corroded by ghostly energy, leaving only a wisp of thread.

The female evil spirit was slowly devouring all the resentful spirit bodies.

The ghostly energy around her became increasingly dense.

"Not good, she's only one step away from breaking through to become an 'evil spirit'. When that happens, the entire Li Family Village will become her food."

The old Taoist's expression changed drastically.

Then, his eyes narrowed, and he sat down cross-legged.

The old Taoist's vital energy was boiling, and the veins on his neck bulged.

His hands formed complex seals, and he chanted:

"Yin and Yang reverse, Heaven and Earth become a prison!"

"Talismans, arise! Formation, activate!"

"Imprison!"

The old Taoist's Taoist robe exploded, forming talismans that flew up.

Those talismans intertwined in the air to form a huge golden net, tightly covering the female ghost.

The female ghost let out a deafening roar, and the ghostly energy around her frantically impacted the net like a tangible substance.

The golden runes continuously collapsed under the erosion of the ghostly energy, emitting a harsh sizzling sound.

He turned his head, looked at the Li Dong couple in the pit, and there was no more hesitation in his eyes.

"With my blood, I will suppress this evil!"

The old Taoist bit the tip of his finger, and his essence blood shot out like a red rainbow.

It condensed into an ancient Taoist seal in the air and smashed heavily towards the frantically struggling female ghost.

The ghostly energy collided with the Taoist seal, erupting in a dazzling white light. The ground suddenly cracked like a spider web, and gravel mixed with Yin energy soared into the sky.

"Vital energy fire, condense!"

The old Taoist mobilized the vital energy of his whole body, and raging flames burned around him.

"Today, this old Taoist will suppress you with my life!"

The flames rose into the air like a scarlet dragon.

The veins around the old Taoist's body bulged as the vital energy circulated frantically, and the surface of his skin turned an eerie red.

The female ghost let out a terrified shriek, and the ghostly energy that had been expanding began to contract inward.

Large patches of scorch marks were burned into the black robe by the flames, revealing the rotting and festering body beneath.

Ancient runes faintly appeared in the flames around the old Taoist.

Those runes seemed to be peeled from his flesh and blood. Every time they flickered, the old Taoist's face aged.

The black mist in the corpse pit was forced back by the flames, but it condensed into a huge ghost face in the air, opening its bloody mouth to bite at the old Taoist.

"Boom!"

The vital energy fire collided with the ghost face, and the ground within a few feet instantly cracked.

The old Taoist staggered, spitting a mouthful of blood onto the flames, and the fire soared.

The ghost face was distorted by the sudden increase in the flames, and even its ferocious form could not be maintained.

"Stinky... Taoist, can you stop... me!?"

With the female ghost's roar, the Yin energy in the sky poured into her body.

The somewhat illusory body completely solidified.

She successfully advanced from an evil-grade anomaly to an evil-grade anomaly.

As the female ghost successfully advanced to an evil-grade anomaly, a terrifying aura spread out from her center.

The old Taoist felt as if an invisible mountain was pressing down, and even breathing became extremely difficult.

His face turned as white as paper in an instant. Burning his vital energy had already greatly damaged his vitality.

At this time, facing this advanced female ghost, a sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.

But he gritted his teeth, and his eyes still showed determination.

Even if he risked his last breath, he could not let this female ghost wreak havoc on the world.

"It seems I have to fight to the death! What a pity, this old Taoist hasn't found a successor yet..."

Thinking this, he forcibly raised his own vital energy, and the flames on his body rose again.

Outside the barrier, Qin Bo was already panting.

"What kind of barrier is this? Why is it so hard?"

"System, how many years of lifespan do I have now?"

[Ding, remaining lifespan 32 years]

"I don't believe it, give me life to cultivate the 'Ancient Desolation Body Tempering Technique'!"
