The Terrifying Path of Immortal Cultivation

The sound startled Li Qing, and his gaze involuntarily turned towards the distance.

Several figures were swiftly passing through the woods, moving at a fast speed and close to the ground.

They looked like a group of wild beasts running at extreme speed.

Crackle, crackle, crackle.

Various sounds grew louder, and more figures passed through the woods, running towards the distance.

It seemed as if there was something terrifying driving these wild beasts, making them panic and run without direction.

"What a jinx. Looks like trouble is brewing."

Li Qing looked helpless and extinguished his campfire, quietly concealing himself in the darkness using the Lunar Shadow Art.

In just a few minutes, accompanied by the howling of animals, a eerie scene appeared in the small woods.

A wedding procession was approaching from the distant darkness.

A bright red sedan chair, a group of people carrying the sedan chair, and a chilling wind howling. The two people at the front were holding pale lanterns with a large character "奠" written on them.

Li Qing hid in the shadows, but even he felt a chill at the sight of this scene.

He thought of some legendary stories.

Ghost wedding, a very dangerous and bizarre phenomenon.

It was said that those who saw a ghost wedding would be taken away by the ghosts to become a bride or groom.

Most of the outcomes were death, followed by becoming a member of the bizarre.

Faced with this dangerous presence, Li Qing was extremely cautious and kept his distance.

But something astonishing happened. The blood-red sedan chair and the group of people seemed to have set their sights on his direction and were heading straight towards him.

In just a few breaths, they were only three yards away from him.

Li Qing could now see clearly that all these figures were paper people.

Pale faces, crimson cheeks, dead-fish-like eyes, giving a sense of Chinese-style horror.

Li Qing's mouth twitched slightly. "Damn, why are you guys coming after me again? Can't you leave me alone for a while?"

"Am I really that unlucky?"

Indignant, Li Qing was ready for battle.

On his way, he had thoroughly understood all of his spells.

Facing the oncoming ghost wedding, he didn't hesitate to take action.

A black and white rotating flame flew out from his hand, like a stream of light, and landed on the two figures at the front in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, these two paper people were ignited.

Suddenly under attack, the ghost wedding procession was stunned.

The two paper people didn't even struggle and were turned to ashes in the black and white flames.

Li Qing felt that the procession of the ghost wedding ahead seemed to weaken slightly.

This wedding procession seemed to have been provoked by him and was now charging towards him frantically.

A blood-red figure leaped out of the sedan chair, with a grotesque and twisted face, and strange blood-red tentacles all over its body.

The paper people from all around also rushed towards him silently, as if in a silent movie.

Li Qing wouldn't confront these terrifying monsters head-on.

With a pointed finger, the flames of the cycle of life and death surged out again, instantly covering an area of ten feet in front.

The monster seemed to realize the power of the flames and suddenly spewed out a mist of blood.

The blood mist collided with the flames, igniting the flames even more fiercely as if the mist was fuel.

The monster was taken aback and quickly retreated to avoid it.

With a thought, Li Qing caused the huge flames to explode, turning into countless streams flying in all directions.

The dozen or so paper people rushing towards him couldn't dodge in time and were instantly ignited, turning into ashes.

The monster let out an angry roar, with at least six blood-red tentacles covered in a blood-red glow.

The tentacles smashed towards Li Qing from all directions, but he had already disappeared in an instant.

Thud, thud, thud.

All the attacks landed on the ground, leaving six small craters.

When Li Qing reappeared, he was already behind the monster.

He spat out a gust of gray wind.

In an instant, the wind covered an area of thirty feet in all directions, completely engulfing the monster.

The gray wind seemed like the sharpest blade, cutting everything in its path.

Starting from the back, the monster was dismembered inch by inch, turning into countless fragments and disappearing into the gray wind.

After dealing with the monster, a piece of Essence Qi stone fell to the ground, and a hint of joy appeared in Li Qing's eyes.

This monster was actually quite strong, and his previous self probably wouldn't have been able to withstand it.

But the upgraded Li Qing now had spells far more powerful than the Blood Burning Flame.

He couldn't be stopped by such a powerful monster, not even with his all-powerful Wind of Annihilation.

Picking up the Essence Qi stone, his Jade Tablet trembled slightly in his mind.

In an instant, the Essence Qi in the Essence Qi stone was absorbed, and an extremely pure Essence Qi surged out.

Li Qing quickly operated his cultivation method, and the hydrogen gas merged into the Myriad Laws Essence Qi.

Feeling the concentration of the Essence Qi, it filled about 5% of his entire body.

He shook his head slightly. "It seems that to improve quickly, I need to take some risks and hunt more monsters."

Li Qing took a deep breath and was about to go and have his dinner.

Suddenly, there was a splash behind him.

Li Qing cautiously looked back and was surprised to see a pale-faced scholar falling out of the blood-red sedan chair.

Li Qing silently sensed the myriad ways and found that there was no strong Essence Qi fluctuation in the man's body; he was just an ordinary person.

At this moment, the scholar seemed to have fallen into a state of unconsciousness.

Perhaps because Li Qing had killed the monster in the sedan chair, the sedan chair collapsed under the man's weight without the support of the monster's power.

Looking at the unconscious man, Li Qing's mouth twitched, and he glanced around the desolate wilderness.

"Forget it, I'll help him."

He picked up a wooden stick and walked over, poking the man, who showed no reaction.

Li Qing went to the riverside, scooped up some river water, and splashed it on the man's face.

Slap!

The cold river water stimulated the man, and he suddenly shivered, seemingly waking up.

His eyes were vacant, then suddenly filled with fear.

"Ghost... ghost..."

Li Qing stood in front of him, looking at the panicked man with a hint of helplessness on his face.

"Where are the ghosts? I'm a human. Look carefully before you scream."

The young scholar seemed to have just come to his senses and looked at Li Qing in confusion.

Seeing the man's dumbfounded look, Li Qing shook his head helplessly.

He turned and walked back to the extinguished campfire by the river, sitting down and lighting it again.

He picked up his grilled fish and began to enjoy the delicious meal.

He had sprinkled some spices on the grilled fish when he bought it.

The faint aroma filled his mouth, and Li Qing nodded in satisfaction.

Crack!

There was the sound of a tree being broken behind him, and the young man walked over with an anxious look on his face.
