Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 1827: Chapter 907: He Laoqi_3

Gu Changhuai condensed a Wind Blade to suppress, and Xia Canonical Official feigned an attack with an Ice Sword, waiting for the right moment to strike.

He Laoqi revealed all his trump cards, Evil Talisman, Magical Treasures, without holding back in the slightest.

However, with Gu Changhuai’s trio of Golden Cores working together, laying a trap in advance and attacking him when he was unprepared, He Laoqi was calculated against severely and couldn’t defend himself at all.

At this moment, he finally understood and said with hatred:

”Who leaked information to you?”

His whereabouts, cultivation techniques, and various methods were all thoroughly figured out, targeted perfectly.

Today, even with all his scheming, there’s only a ”death” awaiting him.

”Tell me, let me die with peace.” He Laoqi said.

At such a time, there was naturally no need for nonsense.

Gu Changhuai and the others ignored him and struck even harder, with hammers falling heavily, Wind Blades ceaselessly, and cold light glistening.

In less than thirty rounds, He Laoqi was gravely injured and unable to hold on.

Knowing his doom was sealed with no chance of survival, he displayed a ferocious expression, biting his tongue with his teeth, spurting a mouthful of fresh blood, urging the Evil Thoughts of the Divine Lord, intending to give up his life and become a puppet, perishing together with Gu Changhuai and the others.

But this move of his was also anticipated by Mo Hua.

Gu Changhuai took out a Golden Bell Rune, crushed it, and urged the sound of Goldstone to stun people’s senses.

For a brief moment, He Laoqi was in a daze.

Fan Jin seized the opportunity, flashed forward, approached He Laoqi, and executed the Bone Splitting Hammer, a hammer from below upward, sending him flying into the air, and another hammer from above downward, smashing him back to the ground.

He Laoqi’s whole body had fractures, internal organs ruptured, spitting fresh blood.

His eyes were wide open in rage, ”You... deserve to die!”

But his throat was sealed by a sword from Xia Canonical Official, the ice Qi locked his throat, unable to utter a sound.

”Disable his limbs!” Gu Changhuai commanded.

Fan Jin did not hesitate, swung up a pair of large hammers, and shattered He Laoqi’s limbs, rendering him unable to move.

Gu Changhuai seized the opportunity to take out the treasure map given by Mo Hua, unfolding it quickly and covering He Laoqi’s head.

Then he activated Spiritual Power, turning it into a blade, shredding He Laoqi’s heart and veins to pieces.

He Laoqi died instantly.

After his death, as his vitality faded, the Evil Qi on his body grew more intense.

The deceased He Laoqi, like a Walking Corpse, kept struggling. But with his limbs disabled, only his head kept twitching.

It was as if something terrifying within his now-dead flesh was gradually awakening, leaving his physical form, seeking another host to parasitize.

Gu Changhuai frowned, his expression serious.

Xia Canonical Official and Fan Jin also appeared tense.

Fortunately, after a moment, He Laoqi became completely still, without any movement.

The eerie fluctuation on his body, which was unnerving, only lasted for a moment before disappearing completely into the treasure map given by Mo Hua.

Everyone let out a sigh of relief.

Fan Jin looked at the dead He Laoqi and then at the map, recalling the strange phenomenon earlier, he asked with lingering fear:

”Supervisor Gu, this map...”

Gu Changhuai was silent for a moment, then said slowly: ”This is a treasure map given by an ’expert,’ used to seal evil spirits.”

Expert...

Upon hearing this, Fan Jin immediately felt great admiration.

He himself was somewhat confused about this matter, but Gu Changhuai came from a prestigious family and was a Supervisor of the Taoist Court in Qianxue State Boundary, with high vision and wide knowledge. Since he called them ’experts,’ it must be true.

”Indeed, Qianxue State Boundary is a place with countless talents...”

Fan Jin sighed in his heart.

Gu Changhuai waited for a while longer, confirming that He Laoqi was completely gone without any abnormality before carefully sealing the treasure map again.

He was quick in putting away the map, remembering Mo Hua’s instructions, he never glanced at the map, and didn’t allow others to see it, to avoid causing trouble.

He Laoqi was killed, and the map was stored away.

This task was thus declared complete.

Though the methods were somewhat complicated, due to the highly accurate intelligence, the process went much more smoothly than anticipated, and many backup plans were not even used.

The Taoist Court members felt a weight lifted off their shoulders.

Next came some follow-up matters.

The following day, Gu Changhuai specially went to Taixu Gate to return the map sealing the evil spirits to Mo Hua.

”Everything went smoothly.” Gu Changhuai said.

”That’s good.” Mo Hua nodded.

Gu Changhuai hesitated for a moment, after some internal struggle, he ultimately whispered a phrase:

”Thank you.”

He wanted to express gratitude but found it hard due to his personality, finally forcing himself to say it in an awkward manner, which Mo Hua found rather amusing.

Mo Hua smiled and said, ”No need to thank me!”

The Taoist Court has its own matters to attend to, and Gu Changhuai didn’t have time to linger. After handing the map to Mo Hua, he left.

Mo Hua held the Five Elements Map, unable to resist licking his lips.

He thought for a moment and decided not to return to the Mountain Gate but instead headed to a small hill outside Taixu Mountain.

The hill was secluded, shrouded in mist, and undisturbed by others.

Mo Hua set up a simple Formation and then opened the Five Elements Map.

As soon as the map was opened, a cold, sinister Evil Qi surfaced, seemingly fearful, hurriedly escaping. In an instant, it locked onto the Sea of Consciousness of the only living person nearby and without hesitation, burrowed into it.

Mo Hua was ”possessed” by Evil.

Amidst the mist-shrouded peaks, Mo Hua’s face turned slightly pale, and he then closed his eyes.

In his Sea of Consciousness, Mo Hua’s Incarnation of Divine Sense opened its eyes.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the unwelcome ”guest” within his Sea of Consciousness.

Goat horns, a bull’s body, an ugly face, standing on two legs, surrounded by surging Evil Qi, its form terrifying.

A Peak of Second Grade Divine Remains.

This Divine Remains, resembling a ”Bull Demon,” saw Mo Hua and frowned, his voice hoarse: ”How is it a little kid...”

The strange map just now housed an ancient monster. Out of fear, it hurriedly fled from the map, rushing without direction, unexpectedly penetrating into the Sea of Consciousness of a small kid.

It was a Peak of Second Grade, a remnant soul of the Great Evil God. The Blood Qi and Divine Thought of a typical Foundation Building Cultivator were unable to nourish it adequately.

Moreover, a mere Foundation Establishment little kid was far from enough to ”feed” it.

However, as the saying goes, ”When in Rome, do as the Romans do.”

For now, it would reside in this physical body for a while, consume everything, and then seek another flesh to parasitize.

Moreover...

The Goat Horn Bull Demon looked around, sniffing, eyes lighting up with excitement.

This little kid’s Divine Sense was incredibly dense...

So dense that it hardly seemed like the Divine Sense of someone in the Foundation Establishment Realm, even less like a human’s Divine Sense...

The Goat Horn Bull Demon suddenly hesitated upon this thought.

Not like... a human’s Divine Sense?

It slowly turned its head, stared at Mo Hua, and then its deep brown menacing pupils suddenly narrowed.

Mo Hua was also looking at the Goat Horn Bull Demon, curiously asking:

”Let me ask you a question... Are all of you Divine Remains only Second Grade?”

All of you, these ”Divine Remains,” only ”Second Grade”...

The Bull Demon hesitated, anger rising within: ”Such arrogance for a little kid, such bold words! Do you know the greatness of my status?”

Mo Hua impatiently said: ”I ask, you answer.”

The Goat Horn Bull Demon sneered, ”You damned brat, dare to question me? Surely, you are oblivious to death...”

It hadn’t finished speaking before it suddenly felt the world spinning.

Once it regained its senses, it realized its perspective was skewed, its face pressed against the ground, with a familiar bull-bodied demon standing before it, entirely black and monstrous, but it lacked a head.

The pupils of the Goat Horn Demon trembled violently.

This headless demon... is me?

At the same moment, it felt someone stepping on its head.

”Since you refuse to answer my question, you are useless to me.”

Mo Hua stepped hard on the bull’s head, a clear sound invoking. In his hand, he wielded a Sever Gold Sword, its blade sharp, cleaving heads without blood.

The Goat Horn Demon looked horrified.

Only now did it understand that the ancient being within the map was a monster.

The little kid before it was similarly a ”monster.”

It escaped the wolf’s den only to fall into the tiger’s mouth.

”You little brat, dare you...”

”Of course, I do!”

Mo Hua, having lost his patience, crushed its head with his foot, stomped it into a puddle of black water, shrouded in Evil Fog.

Afterward, he swung out several golden sword lights, cutting the headless body of the Goat Horn Bull Demon into pieces, then revealed a Fire Formation, burning it all, refining the Evil Thoughts, consuming them directly.

The time was still early; the Taoist Stele remained in repose, so there was no Heavenly Tribulation to ”disinfect,” making the elimination of Evil Thoughts incomplete.

Thus, he merely performed simple incineration to store all the Evil Thoughts.

When night arrives, he will use the Heavenly Tribulation to erase the Evil God’s will, leaving pure Divine Thought, and even purer Divine Marrow.

With that, he will have Divine Marrow to consume again.

Mo Hua feeling elated, carefully stowed the Five Elements Map, then followed the mountain path, briskly heading towards the Taixu Mountain Gate.

When night falls, he will feast well once more.

And his cultivation, along with the Godslaying Sword, will advance further...
