Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World

Chapter 112: First Battle Against Tao Spells

This was the first time Qin Yi fought an immortal cultivator. His previous battles were all mortal warriors and beastkins.

Moreover, the beastkins he faced were mostly from the physical type with supportive spells. Cheng Cheng should be mainly spell-based, but they hadn’t fought before.

So his previous battles were basically physical battles.

And now this Qing Xu was a caster.

Qing Xu’s evasion was almost non-existent. His body had no sense of sensitivity or explosive power at all, but Qin Yi just couldn’t hit him. The earth shields that emerged around him at any time blocked all mace attacks and Han Men’s lightning strikes.

While resisting the attack, a pair of zombie-like hands would appear under Qin Yi’s feet and grab his ankles.

He felt like flesh and blood were being drained frantically. Qin Yi quickly smashed the hands into pieces. The ground returned to normal as if the hands never existed. Thousands of spikes suddenly appeared in the air around Qin Yi and shot.

Very traditional earth spells + some zombie spells + some restrictive spells.

Qin Yi clearly felt that his body had become very sluggish. It was very difficult to move and avoid these thousands of spikes. At the same time, it was difficult to breathe as if his mouth and nose were blocked by mud.

A lot of spells were released at the same time, all of which were instant-cast.

The true qi flowed in Qin Yi’s body, and he quickly broke free from the restraint of gravity. Then, he rolled and narrowly dodged the thousands of spikes. A wound was scratched on his arm.

This was Qin Yi’s first battle against the immortal cultivator.

The caster was not easy to fight.

Especially a mage at the peak of the Piano Heart Stage, whose combat strength exceeded that of Qin Yi. Qin Yi had a hard time dealing with these small instant spells, but these were just casual attacks from Qing Xu.

Qing Xu didn’t really regard Qin Yi, who was at the Phoenix Initiation Stage level 4, as an opponent worthy of attention. His real opponent was the thunder mouse at the peak of the Morphing Stage.

Qing Xu was originally slightly weaker than Han Men. After leaving Temple Qing Xu and being bound by the flags, Han Men alone could defeat him here. He didn’t have much thought to care about Qin Yi.

The sound of lightning current flashed past, and Qing Xu was surrounded by thin lightning. Qin Yi could see that although the lightning was thin, its power was not thin at all. If calculated in volts, it might be tens of thousands of volts.

“Boom!” A purple lightning descended from the sky. Qing Xu shouted and threw up a trigram mirror.

The lightning struck the trigram mirror. They were in a stalemate.

At this moment, Han Men’s chubby body crashed into Qing Xu’s earth shield as fast as thunder, then he spread his short fingers and pressed on the shield.

The cracking lightning sound burst out, and the earth shield cracked.

Qin Yi gestured a seal at this moment.

A fire array suddenly rose from the ground and surrounded Qing Xu, bypassing the earth shield.

Qing Xu shouted angrily, “Rise!”

The ground cracked, and all the flames seemed to be absorbed by the ground. At the same time, Han Men looked stiffened slightly, and Qin Yi had a change in his expression.

A pressure a hundred times stronger than the previous gravity restraint acted on them as if it was going to crush them into meat pies.

Qing Xu laughed ferociously, “You are just a Phoenix Initiation Stage level 4 human. Don’t get carried away, state preceptor. Just stay put for now. When I finish off that rat, it will be your turn wait until Pindao has dealt with that rat before slowly processing your flesh and blood!” “

The skinny hands suddenly folded.

Visible dark red ripples enveloped Han Men’s body, and his chubby figure began to lose shape.

Han Men calmly took out a ball.

The ball flew out and released fork-shaped lightning, which intertwined with the ripples and emitted a harsh collision.

The purple lightning in the sky was in a stalemate with the trigram mirror; the ripples and the ball were in a stalemate too. Both sides did not move for a while, only channeling spiritual force.

Qing Xu sneered and said, “If it is far away, I may be no match for a rat like you, but it is your mistake to only trap me in the middle of the mountain.”

Han Men’s expression changed slightly. He had already sensed that Qing Xu’s disciples were coming for help. Not to mention whether their little strength could affect the outcome, as long as they bought time for Qing Xu to break the array, Qing Xu could earth shrink back to the taoist temple.

He didn’t dare to rashly step into the temple.

At this moment, Qin Yi moved.

The squeezing force of ten thousand kilograms seemed to be nonexistent for him. The mace moved several feet away and hit the cracked earth shield around Qing Xu.

This slam was many times heavier than the previous one. The earth shield was smashed into pieces.

Qing Xu was shocked. His taoist robe suddenly bulged, and the mace hit the bulging taoist robe, diverting the force sideways.

Qin Yi borrowed the diverting force and kicked toward Qing Xu’s waist.

How could a caster avoid the swift kick of the Innate Stage warrior? Qing Xu couldn’t even react, and he was kicked.

“Bang!” Qing Xu rolled on the ground several times, and he could no longer control the trigram mirror in the sky. The purple lightning blasted it away and struck Qing Xu heavily.

Qing Xu convulsed and lay motionless on the ground. His body was charred.

He slowly turned his head, and the charred face rapidly aged. The charred faded away, and his face turned pale with some lividity.

Qin Yi sighed. He is really a dead person. How could he be no different as a living person? This zombie refinement spell is really amazing.

Qing Xu’s body gradually turned into a corpse, but his eyes were still moving, looking at Qin Yi with disbelief.

“How… how does a Phoenix Initiation Stage level 4 cultivator like you break free from my gravity spell and even break my shield!”

Han Men squatted beside him with a smile, “South Li Kingdom’s State Perceptor Qin Yi is actually a very reckless warrior. West Savage Kingdom’s Barbarian Mang Shan is a real shaman instead.”

Qing Xu, “…”

Qin Yi glared at Han Men and said, “Why do you know so much about me?”

“I’ll tell you later.” Han Men spread his fat hands with a smile, and lightning surged in his palms, “Villains met their demise due to loose lips. I don’t want to be a villain, so let’s kill him first.”

Qing Xu showed an ugly smile, “You can’t kill me.”

As he spoke, his body sank into the ground.

Han Men was startled. He turned around and saw that the flags had become crooked at some point and no longer had the effect of restraining the leyline.

Qing Xu’s laughter sounded far away, “Do you really think that I would give real treasures to random people? This is just a fake flag that can only last for a moment. When I recover, it will be the death of you beastkin. And that human too, just you wait…”

Han Men looked ugly and turned to Qin Yi, “While he is seriously injured, this is the only chance to attack Temple Qing Xu.”

Qin Yi looked up at the top of the mountain. The several taoists, who were rushing down there, suddenly turned back anxiously.

Liu Su’s words came from his mindsea, “Qin Yi, this Qing Xu’s cultivation has not reached the level of cutting off the water source, let alone manifesting in the sky. He is far from it.”

Liu Su’s judgment on cultivation is absolute. If it says that it is not Qing Xu, then it is not.

The secret of this mountain is not that simple at all. I can’t get involved anymore, otherwise I will be killed by it.

He ignored Han Men and turned around to go down the mountain, “Since Qing Xu is seriously injured, you can handle it yourself. It makes no sense for me, a Phoenix Initiation Stage level 4 junior, to participate.”

Han Men was choked for a moment. As he was about to say something, there was a bustling sound from the bottom of the mountain. Many people were walking up the mountain.

Qin Yi also subconsciously stopped and looked down the mountain, only to see Landlord Wang with many servants surrounding a young and an old taoist nun, “The beastkin is probably in this mountain. Please help us, Madam Immortals.”

Qin Yi stared blankly at one of the taoist nuns, and his mind was filled with ellipses.

Ming He, didn’t you go back to the sect to retreat?

TL: Meet so soon? What encounter will he have with Ming He?
