Chapter 396: Chapter 195: Applying Benevolence and Righteousness_3

She was about to cut the green bamboo when suddenly there came a series of pecking sounds, "tut tut tut tut", and one by one, the green bamboo pierced through the trees behind her, stabbing into her back—one into the back of her head, another into her back, and another into her left lung!

Jiang Pinting’s eyes twitched as two more bamboo shoots pierced her left and right kidneys and liver, and even her spleen was transfixed!

"How did he pursue me for eighty miles and find this place?"

Her eyes began to dim, and a mouthful of blood surged up in her throat, "I don’t understand..."

A kingfisher flew over, perched on the tree she was leaning against, then flapped its wings and flew in front of her, cocking its head to observe whether she was truly dead.

Once it confirmed that she had died, the kingfisher suddenly transformed into a green bamboo shoot, planting itself in the ground. The True Qi within the bamboo became a vast vitality, astonishingly causing the bamboo to take root, sprout branches, and quickly grow over three to six feet tall.

Elsewhere, Governor Xu Jian’s Primordial Spirit witnessed this spectacle and silently praised it before withdrawing.

In Xinxiang Province, in the Chen residence.

The scholar looked around at the towering virtual shadows of the Tai Sui Star Lords, feeling such overwhelming pressure from them that he dared not make any reckless moves.

"The potency of Black Pot’s blood is growing stronger and stronger."

Seeing this, Chen Shi exclaimed in surprise.

He knew his skill in talisman painting was not bad, but even with his proficiency, he definitely could not make sixty Tai Sui Star Lords seem as if they had truly descended!

It could only be due to the extreme potency of Black Pot’s blood that these talismans had erupted with power they should not possess.

"Black Pot has been reading every day and seems to have grown even stronger," he thought to himself.

In a direct confrontation, the outcome was uncertain, but by using Black Pot’s blood for talisman painting and setting up an ambush early, combined with the Flying Sword Technique passed on to him by Cold Mountain Wanderer to monitor every move of Jiang Pinting and others, he orchestrated his strategy behind the scenes and easily assassinated them.

"Chen Shi, you only dare rely on the power of talismans and don’t dare to fight me to the death!" the scholar shouted.

Chen Shi raised his hand, and bamboo shoots flew up. Hearing this, he couldn’t help but smile. The bamboo descended, and the surrounding Taisui Breaking Evil Formation dispersed.

The scholar felt the pressure instantly vanish, he let out a breath of relief, glared at Chen Shi, and said solemnly, "If I win against you..."

Chen Shi smiled and said, "I’ll let you go."

The scholar was momentarily stunned, "If I win, you’ll let me go?"

Chen Shi said, "As long as it’s not a direct confrontation, I have a hundred ways to kill you."

The scholar fell silent for a moment, then helplessly said, "Fine. If I win, you let me go. If I lose, my life is yours..."

Chen Shi shook his head, "If you lose, I’ll ask you a few questions, answer me and then I can let you go."

"Agreed!" said the scholar resolutely.

Chen Shi took a deep breath, activated the Eight Extremes Golden Palace Divine Chapter, with Stone Rock Lady presiding over the shrine, his Golden Core flew out, green and bulbous, over these past few days of cultivation, he had reached the seventh turn of the Golden Core!

He spurred the Golden Core, and beneath his feet the Eight Extremes came to life; within the Golden Core Field, Eight Extremes were affirmed, each with a Jinque standing firmly at the end of the Golden Core Field, Divine Power fermenting within the eight Jinque of the Eight Extremes, surging tumultuously.

Chen Shi stepped forward, his body compressing the air, coming to the scholar with a thunderous roar!

The scholar churned his Qi-Blood, marshalled his Divine Embryo, and spurred his Nascent Soul—the most potent Mana among the three. Facing Chen Shi’s formidable presence, he showed no fear!

The Divine Embryo, a second Primordial Spirit, and his being a Third-grade Divine Embryo, contained Divine Power not inferior to the Nascent Soul!

He stepped on Taiji, moving in the pattern of yin and yang, raised his hand to meet the punch from Chen Shi and suddenly felt a rampage of True Qi bearing down, his Qi-Blood recoiled, and with a crack, four of his fingers broke.

Chen Shi’s fist, pressing down on his broken hand, struck heavily on his chest, causing his chest to cave inward, his back bulging, and his ribs protruding backwards, tearing through his clothing!

His back sprayed with blood and sweat propelled by the Qi-Blood infiltrating his body, striking the walls behind, leaving numerous tiny holes.

Chen Shi’s other hand was already at his eyes, nearly gouging them out, and hurriedly stopped.

"This is a lethal blow, I can’t use it!"

Chen Shi was shocked in his heart, almost killing him in a reflex.

The scholar, as if bereft of his soul, fell to his knees with a thud, struggling to look up, "What Divine Embryo are you? Why is your power so formidable? You almost rival the young master."

Chen Shi’s heart stirred, "What Divine Embryo is your young master?"

—The influence of the typhoon has not ended, and now there is water supply every morning and evening, making washing clothes and flushing toilets a problem. Roads are littered with fallen trees, making travel difficult, and ordering a takeaway can take an hour or two to arrive, vexing indeed.
