The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 687: Why Not Negotiate a Condition_1

Chapter 687: Chapter 687: Why Not Negotiate a Condition_1

Li Qing was truly perplexed. Why were all the monsters he encountered so tenacious?

For a newbie just setting out, this was decidedly unfriendly.

Last time, at Li Yuanxian’s tomb, those two things had nearly cost him his life, and today’s encounter was looking dicey too.

Someone merely waves an oil-paper umbrella, blocking the attacks of the Purple Sky Cloud Thunder. How strong must that be?

This was Purple Sky Cloud Thunder, no ordinary Thunder Talisman, Thunder Method.

This was genuine Heavenly Thunder!

Damn it, it defied all rationale.

White lightning once again enveloped the entire stone chamber, with a loud ’boom’, striking upon the oil-paper umbrella.

With a ’crack’, a flash of white light passed by, and the oil-paper umbrella instantly crumbled to dust.

The relentless Heavenly Punishment again struck Zi Ling’s body, and a seductive, enchanting shadow was ejected from her, but it was only for a moment before quickly diving back into Zi Ling’s body.

And in that brief exit and re-entry, Heavenly Punishment seemed to lose its target, vanishing instantly.

Li Qing looked on at this scene, his mind reeling.

Had he just seen that, and Heavenly Punishment hadn’t seen that figure?

Zi Ling glared at Li Qing with hatred, her lips curving into a chilling smile, "That thunder was quite powerful, enough to destroy even my strongest Magic Artifact. Tell me, what kind of thunder was that?"

"You don’t recognize this? What kind of Cultivator are you pretending to be!" Li Qing sneered disdainfully.

"Oh, you little brat, getting cocky are you? Try hitting me with that again. I’ll give you a chance to strike me. Otherwise, I won’t consider this poor girl’s pleading. But rest assured, I will make sure you die under a peony, a romantic ghost, truly and thoroughly drained," Zi Ling said with extreme confidence, licking her lips.

"I’ll grant your wish!" Li Qing once again invoked the spring thunder, shouting aloud.

Heavenly Punishment seemed to have a certain damaging effect on the old witch.

That also could be said to be Li Qing’s most powerful attack. Beyond that, he had no other means.

Crack!

As Li Qing’s words finished, Heavenly Punishment struck in response.

Zi Ling’s face drastically changed. "I didn’t expect you, boy, to actually have mastered such Thunder Method. Are you the beloved son of the heavens?"

As the lightning wrapped around Zi Ling, the hazy shadow instantly left her body.

She seemed to want to dodge the Heavenly Punishment’s strike, but this time she might not have timed it right, as the Heavenly Punishment locked onto her.

Suddenly there was a series of fierce lashes, hitting the already indistinct shadow until it became even more obscure and thin, seemingly about to dissipate completely.

Li Qing watched anxiously; the hazy shadow, in terms of figure and face, was quite beautiful.

If not for the fact that her expression was exceptionally contorted from the lashing of Heavenly Punishment, she would certainly be considered a national beauty, with extraordinary looks.

"Blind old Heaven, look carefully before you strike. What evil have I done?" the woman suddenly cried out pitifully.

"I was forcibly shattered, my soul separated from flesh, unseen by daylight for a thousand years. What wrong have I done? And yet you still strike me!"

Crack, crack, crack, the Heavenly Punishment didn’t care about her screams, relentlessly lashing out continuously.

Not until the shadowy figure, already so intangible, was on the verge of completely dissipating did it finally stop, fading into nothingness.

"You little brat, you do have some skill, but this is Heavenly Punishment, and that’s as far as it goes." The woman smirked devilishly and suddenly drifted back into Zi Ling’s body. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Li Qing was immediately dumbfounded.

The woman’s speed was too fast. He didn’t even have time to activate Black Arrow for a lethal strike.

He once again softly called out that gray syllable, summoning the Heavenly Punishment.

But the white lightning only twined around the stone chamber for a moment before it faded, not attacking Zi Ling at all.

The Heavenly Punishment wasn’t initiating an attack anymore.

It seemed that the old demoness wasn’t wrong, the Heavenly Punishment had already dealt her enough punishment and wasn’t prepared to continue.

Li Qing was suddenly at a loss.

His strongest methods were of no use, he dared not rashly wield Black Arrow, and now it seemed he could only rely on Zi Ling herself.

Strike her when she’s down, take her life when she’s ill, if Zi Ling could seize the opportunity, perhaps she could kill the old demoness within the sea of consciousness.

But after watching for a long while, Zi Ling showed no sign of activity, that devilish smile still hanging on her lips.

Zi Ling you fool, are you asleep? Exploit her weakness and drive her out!

Although Li Qing didn’t understand much, he knew that within one’s own body, one’s Divine Soul naturally has an advantage over outsiders.

To seize another’s Divine Soul is to forcefully do so with a tremendous advantage.

Yet the old demoness had just been struck by a Heavenly Punishment and was on the verge of fading away, undoubtedly at her weakest.

"You little brat, what other tricks do you have up your sleeve against me?" Zi Ling strutted towards Li Qing with charm and grace.

Her bared form moved with unmatched elegance, the trembling peaks and smooth skin adding untold allure.

Li Qing watched Zi Ling coldly, "Have you forgotten, you lost your Magic Artifact? I still have the Purple Cloud Thunder Method, and since the Heavenly Punishment hasn’t taken your life, it looks like you really haven’t committed any outrageous sins. Leave Zi Ling’s body, and I’ll spare your life."

He had almost forgotten that the old demoness’s Magic Artifact was destroyed, allowing him to use the Purple Cloud Thunder Method once more.

Zi Ling suddenly stopped, her face filled with fear, then quickly resumed smiling and lightly touched her chest, saying, "I almost forgot that you have the Purple Cloud Thunder Method, which is specifically effective against me. I must say, you young man have quite a few tricks for exorcising spirits."

"However, if you use the Thunder Method again, you’ll strike this delicate young girl as well, won’t that distress you?"

"Cut the crap, you think I don’t understand? The Purple Cloud Heavenly Thunder will only strike you!" Li Qing retorted coldly, "Hurry up and get out, or I won’t be polite."

"I’ve already told you, I’m not exactly a ghost!" Zi Ling chuckled, "To be accurate, we now share a dual soul. If I endure the Thunder Method’s attack, she’ll get struck too. And besides, I could also kill her, she’s no match for me."

For a moment, Li Qing was somewhat uncertain, feeling that the old demoness was bluffing.

But he didn’t dare gamble with Zi Ling’s life.

"You little brat, how about this, let’s make a deal," Zi Ling suddenly proposed, "You help me retrieve my body, and I’ll return this delicate young girl to you, how about that?"

"How many years has it been for you, are your bones not weathered away? Where am I supposed to find a body for you?" Li Qing grumbled.

This woman must not know what era it is, thinking that a character from a thousand years ago can still hope to find her own body? Dream on.

"My body remains intact to this day, the ancient bronze coffin from before the Qin dynasty preserves it from decay for ten thousand years," Zi Ling stated indifferently, "You can’t kill me, nor can you save the girl. Why not just agree to the deal? It’s simply a matter of retrieving my physical form, very easy."
