Chapter 156: Subduing Demons

The moment he raised his hand, Lin Jing received the power of the Ice Soul Gu, and his True Qi fused with the power of the Ice Soul Gu.

His black hair and black eyes turned into white hair and blue eyes once more.

The snowy white hair and deep blue ice-cold eyes made Lin Jing look freezing cold.

Because the power of the Ice Soul Gu, which possessed the Gu Emperor Bloodline, was too overbearing, Lin Jing’s body was once again inevitably affected.

However, this astonishing icy power was worth any price paid.

“He’s no ordinary Qi Refinement Cultivator; this is the power of Gu insects! He’s a demonic Cultivator from the Gu God Sect!!!”

Before the Demon Subduing Guard could react, the Chief of the Yin Corpse Sect suddenly shouted, staring in shock at the white spider pattern appearing on Lin Jing’s neck.

“Gu God Sect??? Why would someone from the Gu God Sect appear here as well!”

The Red Armor Demon Guard looked shocked. Unlike those from the Yin Corpse Sect, Cultivators of the Gu God Sect usually operated in regions near the Cloud Sea Mountain Range. In all his years in the Sky Domain, this was the first time he had even seen a demonic Cultivator from the Gu God Sect.

A demonic Cultivator from the Gu God Sect? At this moment, the twins’ emotions were in even greater turmoil.

“He wants to rob the robbers.”

“Let’s strike together,” the Chief of the Yin Corpse Sect said. Five diagrams appeared around him, and five corpses with different skin tones were summoned.

One was golden-yellow, one was grass-green, one was azure-blue, one was fiery-red, and the last one…

…was brownish-yellow. They were clearly the Five Elements Corpse Puppets of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.

“Refining Cultivators with the five elemental spiritual physiques into corpse Puppets and then using the Corpse Core Technique to promote them to the False Core realm… Not bad, but it’s a pity they’ve encountered this kid,” Divine Pine remarked.

As Divine Pine spoke, the Five Elements Puppets immediately flew into the sky and surrounded Lin Jing. The Red Armor Demon Guard also sacrificed nine Flying Sword Magic Treasures filled with righteous Qi to suppress evil forces.

“Evil-Slaying Sword Array!”

The sword array floated within the diagram behind him, ready to strike. As the nine Magic Treasure Flying Swords shot out, the five corpse Puppets, under the control of the Yin Corpse Sect Cultivator, also formed a Five Elements Grand Array, trapping Lin Jing within.

“Even a Golden Core Middle Stage Cultivator can’t dream of escaping my Five Elements Corpse Array easily!” While the Chief of the Yin Corpse Sect sneered, Lin Jing indeed felt a powerful suppressive force; his True Qi was so suppressed by the power of the Five Elements that it was difficult to circulate.

Just as the nine Flying Swords were about to pierce through him, the five corpse Puppets suddenly lunged from their positions and blocked the area around Lin Jing, shielding him from the nine Flying Swords!

Boom!!!

The five corpse Puppets were immediately knocked back by the Flying Swords.

“What are you doing!” the Demon Subduing Guard glared at the Chief of the Yin Corpse Sect, who was looking on in horror.

Spitting out blood, he said, “You fool, look closely.”

“This guy—”

With a sweep of his Divine Sense, he discovered in shock that nearly transparent spider silk was emanating from Lin Jing’s fingertips. The silk was connected to the five corpse Puppets, cutting off his connection with them and snatching away control.

“There’s something strange about this guy’s Gu insect; it took ownership of the corpse Puppets I refined in an instant!!” the Yin Corpse Sect Cultivator said, unable to comprehend it.

“Impossible! How could such a Gu insect exist!!”

“No, that’s not right.” The Yin Corpse Sect Cultivator was terrified as he felt a chill in his body. The opponent’s Gu poison…

…had actually followed the mental connection between him and the corpse Puppets and invaded his body without even touching him!

At this moment, the Yin Corpse Sect Cultivator even felt his body becoming somewhat uncontrollable, his mana flow frozen.

Compared to his confusion, the Ice Soul Gu within Lin Jing felt no pressure at all. Its Gu poison—never mind corpses—…

…as long as its cultivation improved, it could easily control even the Primordial Spirit of a Soul Transformation Cultivator.

“Boss, how about I take these two out for you, and you let me have another fight with that Squirrel and that Dragon Carp?”

After reaching Foundation Establishment, the Ice Soul Gu’s strength was nothing like before. Especially now, fused with Lin Jing’s power, it didn’t even care about the Golden Core Stage.

“We’ll discuss it later,” Lin Jing said indifferently. Chilling Qi erupted from his body, a storm of extreme coldness sweeping toward the two Golden Core Cultivators. Seeing this, the Yin Corpse Sect Cultivator shouted, and tiny cracks appeared on the Golden Core inside him.

His body became covered in countless Corpse Spots, and he immediately regained his mobility, dodging in a hurry.

As for the Red Armor Demon Guard, he didn’t seem to realize how terrifying the Ice Soul Gu was. Forming a hand seal, he protected himself with white True Essence and controlled the Magic Treasure Flying Swords that had knocked back the five corpse Puppets to whirl back, intending to kill Lin Jing.

However, his pupils constricted as the nine Flying Swords were all frozen in mid-air the moment they neared Lin Jing, unable to advance even half a step. This chill released from Lin Jing’s body—more terrifying than an Ice Spirit Body, no, an Ice Divine Physique—instantly left the Demon Subduing Guard in disbelief.

“Who exactly are you!”

After he let out a low shout, the cold air had already invaded his protective True Essence, instantly freezing both the essence and himself.

In the next instant, just like the Chief of the Yin Corpse Sect, this Golden Core Early Stage Demon Subduing Guard’s Golden Core also developed a crack.

It helped him break free from the ice, and his eyes once again shot out radiance, which this time transformed into two astonishing light swords!

“After a Foundation Establishment Cultivator advances to Golden Core, the condensed Golden Core has a high probability of nurturing a Divine Ability called a Golden Core Divine Ability. A Golden Core Divine Ability is a Golden Core Cultivator’s trump card; every time it’s activated, the Golden Core will be damaged. Thus, unless it’s a critical moment, a Golden Core Cultivator won’t use it lightly—and if they do, it also means—” Divine Pine watched as the Demon Subduing Guard’s Golden Core Divine Ability broke through the cold air.

The cold air frantically tried to freeze the light swords, but their power and speed were incredible. They quickly shattered the frost, aiming straight for Lin Jing’s head.

“Kill each other then!!” Seeing this, the Yin Corpse Sect Cultivator had already abandoned any intention of fighting. He wanted to snatch the twin physiques and flee.

To prevent his misdeeds from being exposed, the Red Armor Demon Guard had to kill Lin Jing, but he was different.

He arrived before the twins in an instant. Seeing the Yin Corpse Sect Cultivator covered in Corpse Spots abandon the fight and rush toward them, the twins’ expressions changed.

However, at that moment, a Red Leaf fell, catching the attention of both the twins and the Yin Corpse Sect Cultivator.

This Red Leaf was strange.

Accompanied by a spatial ripple emitted by the Red Leaf, Lin Jing vanished from before the Demon Subduing Guard’s Golden Core Divine Ability.

Leaving the Golden Core Divine Ability without a target.

In his place, Lin Jing appeared between the two twin physiques and the Chief of the Yin Corpse Sect, holding the Red Leaf between two fingers, with a Squirrel perched on his shoulder at some unknown point.

“Squeak!!!” A red glint flashed through the Squirrel’s eyes. In the next instant, thousands of blood mosquitoes flew out from the void.

They all swarmed toward the Yin Corpse Sect Cultivator and the Demon Subduing Guard, causing their pupils to shrink.

“He actually dodged a Golden Core Divine Ability! This is a Spatial Technique!”

“And a Blood Dao Demonic Technique! Who exactly is this guy!”

“Damn it, is this… the Cloud Sea Mosquito Beast?!”

To protect the two twin physiques, Lin Jing summoned the Pine Leaf Squirrel to join the battle.

“Don’t be afraid. I’m a Demon Subduing Guard, here to save you,” Lin Jing said, his back to the twins, facing the two Golden Core Cultivators with blood mosquitoes continuously flying out in front of him.

After hearing this, the two twins nodded blankly, becoming even more terrified.
