The Undying Great Shaman (13)

Li Boyang provided Bronze Beast to the Mountain Folk at low prices, or even free of charge—this was an endorsement of his trust.

The Mountain Folk used the damaged parts of the Bronze Beast to cast bronze coins—this was the process of minting and issuing coins.

Bronze coins served as a general equivalent throughout the entire Hundred Lands Mountain Range region—this was the circulation of currency.

To be honest, when Li Boyang first saw the bronze coins in Li Household Village, his astonishment was beyond words.

It was through this clue that Li Boyang was able to discover the existence of Wu Xian.

"So you've shown yourself here just to tell me that you, like Wu Yi, think highly of me?"

Faced with Li Boyang's questioning, Wu Xian simply smiled and shook his head before speaking methodically.

"The new model and new order you have created are indeed of great reference value for the Great Xia Dynasty today."

"But as you said, this was not my original purpose in coming to these Hundred Lands Mountain Range."

"I didn't come here for you; I came to see Kunwu."

This unexpected answer startled Li Boyang, but he quickly realized that what Wu Xian said was true.

Because Li Boyang's [Premonition Divine Ability] were sending him a warning.

Wu Xian not only came prepared, but also seemed to be hiding some purpose that he was not yet aware of.

"I know He is at the bottom of Yunmeng Marsh, helping you maintain the smooth operation of thousands of river systems."

"I also tried to infiltrate Yunmeng Marsh, but the Formation you set up was simply too ingenious..."

"Non-Self risk destroying the entire Yunmeng Marsh, there's no way I can take Kunwu away quietly."

Hearing the music, Li Boyang finally understood Wu Xian's intention.

"Are you here to confront me?"

Having figured out the operating mode of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, we also learned the location of Kunwu.

Wu Xian's appearance tonight is intended to confront Li Boyang, and he is prepared to use force.

"Don't say such harsh things..."

"I just felt I should have said goodbye to you before taking Kunwu away."

"You don't know the importance of Kunwu; His existence is related to the survival of the Great Xia..."

That kind smile still lingered on her face.

But the unspoken meaning behind Wu Xian's words sent chills down one's spine.

"You've had contact with Wu Yi, so you should be familiar with the character of the shamans of our Great Xia."

"He's not an exception; we're willing to do anything for the survival of Great Xia."

"Even if it means becoming an enemy of the Celestial Person Descended into the World and ending the new order you brought, I am capable of doing it."

Now it was Li Boyang's turn to laugh, a smile that even revealed a hint of contempt.

"You think you can do what even Wu Yi couldn't?"

He calmly made a cut on his palm and then drew intricate Witch Mark on it.

Wu Xian responded to Li Boyang's question with laughter as well.

"I know you're trying to provoke me, trying to force me to make the first move and reveal my hand."

"Such a clumsy method is of little use to an old man like me who has lived for countless years."

"But I am indeed very curious, is it true that Wu Yi said ordinary Witchcraft Incantation are ineffective against you?"

Before he could finish speaking, Wu Xian pulled out a dagger from somewhere and stabbed himself in the heart.

Sizzle!

In an instant, hot blood from Wu Xian's heart gushed from his chest.

Before Li Boyang's smile could fade, he felt a sharp pain in his chest.

When Li Boyang looked down, he was shocked to see an identical wound on his chest.

"This isn't Heart-Stealing Incantation, but Life-Exchange Gu."

"This is a form of witchcraft that trades lives for lives, capable of even cursing and killing gods."

"I've spent a considerable amount of time cultivating this Life-Exchange Gu that can work on you."

The dagger in his hand kept twisting against his chest, and blood spilled from the corner of Wu Xian's mouth, yet he still appeared calm and composed.

For Wu Xian, who possesses true immortality.

This kind of witchcraft, which would be considered a "killer move" by other great shamans or even the Witch King, was merely his most routine means of probing and attacking.

"This is truly bizarre witchcraft..."

Gently touching the inexplicable wound on his chest, Li Boyang's hands were soon covered in blood.

He could sense that this "Life-Exchange Gu" was not simply about sharing the damage, but a true exchange of lives.

Ignoring his own Body-Protecting Sword Qi, and ignoring the body's self-healing abilities...

Wu Xian's attack was aimed directly at the being known as "Li Boyang," and was a form of witchcraft targeting the essence of life.

Even gods only have one life.

This "Life-Exchange Gu" targets "fate" and is a nearly unsolvable form of witchcraft.

"No, you're the one who's really weird."

Feeling the life force fading from his body, Wu Xian knew that the "Life-Exchange Gu" had taken effect.

But Li Boyang on the other side remained standing still.

Apart from the still-growing wound on his chest, there were absolutely no signs of death.

Wu Xian was able to survive only because of his immortality.

So how did Li Boyang manage to ignore the damage from the Life-Exchange Gu?

"Wait, it's that Silk Fur Robe you're wearing!"

Soon, Wu Xian noticed the Red-Skinned Silk Fur Robe that Li Boyang was wearing.

Just like the Wu Xian who possessed an immortal body.

Li Boyang, clad in Red-Skinned Silk Fur Robe, is in a sense also an "immortal" being.

You got it right, but there's no prize.

With his hands forming a sword shape, Li Boyang instantly unleashed two Sword-Ray.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

An invisible Sword Qi tore through the air, instantly severing Wu Xian's arm and head.

As the dagger fell, the wound on Li Boyang's chest naturally healed.

Snap!

They knew that such methods could not possibly kill Wu Xian.

Li Boyang stomped his foot hard on the ground almost without hesitation, and the shadow beneath his feet suddenly rose up.

A three-foot-tall, four-eyed Shadow Baleful Intent Dharma Aspect appeared behind Wu Xian, its hands faintly emitting some kind of Talisman Incantation.

"Drink!"

He immediately grabbed his falling head.

Wu Xian suddenly spun around and kicked back, scattering the Talisman Incantation at an almost unbelievable angle.

After all, Wu Xian had a wealth of combat experience.

It was immediately obvious that those Talisman Incantation were some kind of sealing technique.

Even if one possesses an immortal body, once sealed away, one will still become a lamb to the slaughter.

"Is it derived from the Celestial Person arts of Maxims Talismans?"

"I just don't know how much of Wu Yao's skill you inherited!"

Without hesitation, Wu Xian activated the Witch Law again, and his fallen arm suddenly transformed into a giant python that lunged at Li Boyang.

The giant python was wrapped in Witchcraft Incantation, and its eyes, radiating divine light, were enough to petrify any creature.

This is an alternative [Incantation of Jade Transformation and Sleeplessness], and also the most powerful petrification Curse.
