81 Dying While in Slumber

“Brother Cai, your behavior is very immoral.”

Elder Dou, who was protecting himself with his walking stick Dharma artifact, said faintly, “Are you seeking to make a fortune by looting our corpses after we’re all killed?”

“That’s not true. I’ve exhausted too much Spiritual Energy and don’t have enough Spiritual Energy Restoration Pills. I can only look for them from the dead bodies of fellow Daoists.”

Cai Dao’s face was not red and his heart rate was calm despite being exposed. He quickly found an excuse for himself and glanced at the place where the stone was thrown.

He scanned the surroundings with his divine consciousness but could not determine where Song Shi was. Even if he said that Song Shi was here as well, if he did not make a sound or show his face, it would only make him appear silly. Hence he could only suffer this loss in silence.

Facing the resentful expressions of Elder Dou and the other cultivators, he hurriedly took out a Qi Replenishing Pill from his storage bag and pretended to found it from the storage bag he had just touched. He then said in surprise, “I finally found a medicinal pill!”

“Daoist Cai, please help us and escape together!”

Chen Yiling’s face was pale and she looked like she could collapse at any moment.

If she did not have a high-level talisman protecting her body, she would have been long been killed by the Extraordinary Invisible Shadow Guards’ bone-breaking needles.

Therefore, even though she knew that Daoist Cai was looting the corpse, she still pretended to be ignorant and asked for help.

“Ahem, I’ll do my best.”

Daoist Cai knew that he had no more chance to secretly loot the corpses. He could only activate his horsetail whisk Dharma treasure, causing a circle of lightning to spread out. Amidst the crackling lightning, he braced himself and went over to help.

With the help of a tenth level Qi Refinement cultivator, Old Dou and the others, who could be killed at any given moment, could finally take a breather.

At this moment, Wuchen Zi and Chang Sunji’s Spiritual Energy had been greatly depleted, and their condition was even worse than Chen Yiling and the others. They could not even activate their Dharma artifacts anymore and were no longer much of a threat. They could only fight at close range.

However, the Extraordinary Invisible Shadow Guard was still in a good state. He was a Foundation Establishment superhuman. Even though his strength had already been greatly depleted, his power was still ten times greater than theirs.

Moreover as they were already exhausted. Daoist Cai alone could not withstand the enemy for long.

“Brother Cai, even if your lightning-type spell can’t injure this Extraordinary Invisible Shadow Guard, it’s definitely not a problem if you want to paralyze him. Work with me. I’ll use my wood-type spell to trap him and we’ll be able to escape.”

Elder Dou suggested, given that only the Extraordinary Invisible Shadow Guards was a threat now.

“Sure. These guys are all controlled by Old Nightmare’s Crowd Control skill. They stop until they’re exhausted or until they are killed.”

Daoist Cai looked wary, “With our abilities, we can’t wake them up at all. The power of this extraordinary Foundation Establishment skill is as deep as the sea. We definitely can’t deplete it alone. We can only think of a way to trap them.”

“I’ll use the power of the talisman to stop him first. Hurry up.”

Chen Yiling nodded and took the initiative to step forward and leap in front of the Extraordinary Invisible Shadow Guard. The Extraordinary Invisible Shadow Guard’s bone-breaking needles caused the golden bell talisman on her body to break in several places.

The other two Connate cultivators blocked Chang Sunji and Wuchen Zi.

“I’ll attack first!”

Daoist Cai used his horsetail whisk Dharma artifact to protect himself. Then, he took out a peach wood sword and chanted an incantation.

In the next second, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth fluctuated and a ball of lightning appeared at the tip of the sword.

Crack! Crack!

Sizzle! Sizzle!

The dark night was pierced by lightning and thunder, as if many birds were crying out urgently. A thunder ball quickly condensed. However, the bigger the thunder ball, the worse Daoist Cai’s expression became.

It was obvious that this spell consumed a lot of his energy.

“He actually knows lightning techniques. This is even more ferocious and domineering than fire techniques. No wonder he wasn’t controlled by that Old Man Nightmare’s spell.”

Song Shi watched from the side with a surprised expression.

While Daoist Cai was condensing the power of lightning, Elder Dou also began to chant an incantation. A circle of dense green light appeared, filled with vitality.

BOOM!

The power of the Extraordinary Invisible Shadow Guard was terrifying. He sent Chen Yiling flying with a punch and almost broke the golden bell-like shield on her body.

“Quick, I can’t hold on any longer!”

Chen Yiling cried out in alarm. The power of her talisman was already on the verge of collapse, it was violently morphing and distorting. If he struck again, she would be beaten to a pulp.

“Hurry and dodge! Nine Heavens Magical Thunder, go!”

Daoist Cai shouted in a low voice and slashed out with his peach wood sword. A lightning ball the size of his head flashed and flew towards the Extraordinary Invisible Shadow Guard.

There was a loud bang.

The blinding white light shone brightly and lightning snakes darted around him.

The latter’s entire body was covered in blue vital essence. Although his defense was barrier very strong, it was still not comparable to the protection of Dharma artifacts and talismans.

Under the power of extreme Yang lightning, the blue elemental energy was broken through. However, the power of the spell itself also dissipated greatly after that. It landed in front of the Extraordinary Invisible Shadow Guard, shattering his clothes and leaving a charred wound on his chests.

However, this person’s body was shining with a precious light. It was clear that he had cultivated a treasure body. In the end, the power of thunder didn’t cause too much damage, only managing to paralyze his body momentarily.

At this moment, Elder Dou formed a hand seal and shouted, “Multiple Thorns Entanglement!”

The green light landed on the ground and thorns as thick as an arm grew out of thin air. There were nine of them, and they were like venomous snakes crawling out of the ground. They wrapped around the Extraordinary Invisible Shadow Guard tightly, making it difficult for him to move.

“Let’s go!”

Daoist Cai turned and ran.

“Wait for me.”

Elder Dou panted as he followed.

The other two Connate experts did not hesitate and quickly escaped.

Chen Yiling glanced at Wuchen Zi. After all, this guy was from the same sect as her. She walked over and knocked him out. Then she gritted her teeth and carried him away.

As for Chang Sunji, no one cared about him. At this moment, he was still cursing feebly.

When Chen Yiling and the others ran out, a jade plate suddenly appeared in the air. After it landed on the ground, the scenery within a hundred feet suddenly distorted.

Immediately, a fog rose and enveloped the Extraordinary Invisible Shadow Guard, seperating him from the others who were breaking free and forming an Array Formation space.

Song Shi appeared in the fog. He glanced at the Invisibility Talisman, which was much dimmer and walked towards Chang Sunji with a cold smile.

Given such a good opportunity, if he killed Chang Sunji now, he would never be mocked by him again

Swoosh!

A flash of light from a sword flashed and Chang Sunji’s head fell off. The latter screamed, “My head, my head.”

“It’s fine. I’m just dreaming. My head will grow out later, hehe!”

Chang Sunji consoled himself with a smile. He was still sleepwalking, but his eyes were slowly closing forever.

Just like that, in his slumber, Chang Sunji lost his life.

A foot appeared beside him. Song Shi looked down at Chang Sunji’s head and muttered, “You’re not dreaming. You’re really dead!”

Song Shi grinned. “For you to die like this, I am going easy on you. That b*tch Song Jia has to find a new boyfriend now, I need to tell her to not find someone like you next time. Otherwise, if they provoke me like you did, I’ll have to kill them off again.”

“However, this Old Man Nightmare’s methods are really terrifying. He still hasn’t escaped being controlled even until his death. But that’s good for me. You can’t blame me for killing you now.”

Song Shi had a fearful expression. This was the first time he had encountered such a strange mind control method. It was even stranger than the so-called hypnosis.

After all, it was not just one person who was killed this time, but more than 30 people. Without any special methods, they were used as tools to kill each other in their dreams, which resulted in them dying in the battle.

“I can’t risk to encounter that old fellow for the time being. It’ll be troublesome if I’m targeted by him!”

With a look of fear, he turned around and looked at the guy who had already broken the thorns. His gaze was cold.

“Extraordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator. I want to see how powerful you are!”

He strode over but did not take the initiative commit suicide.

This time, he was prepared to fight this guy. Even if he died, he would only die during battle.
