Chapter 67 - 67 Jade Cicada and the Possessing of Souls

67 Jade Cicada and the Possessing of Souls

“Facing a Dharma artifact head on? Are you an idiot?”

Song Shi landed in front of the shattered corpse with a disdainful expression.

His physical body was already comparable to the lowest-level Dharma artifacts. With the enhancement of True Energy, his punch just now was equivalent to using Dharma artifacts to attack. Did this guy think that he could take a punch from him just because he was invulnerable?

After saying that, he frowned and looked at the ground. He was surprised, “Eh, why is there no notification? This guy is not dead yet!”

His expression sank as he recalled what Sikong Ya had said when he killed Hei Duzi’s Gu Corpse. Could it be that this fellow wasn’t his main body?

No, if this was just a Gu Corpse, he should not be able to use Dharma artifacts!

Gu!

He should be a Gu right now. Hei Duzi had probably turned into a Gu insect and was still alive!

His sharp gaze landed on the flesh and blood. He took out the Gentleman Sword and fiddled with it. Soon, he discovered a black worm.

“It’s dead?”

Song Shi poked it with his sword. The bug was very fragile and broke into two.

“Interesting. Such a fragile worm can actually make its host body as hard as iron.”

Song Shi could not help but sigh at the wonders of this Gu. If it was in his previous life, it would definitely be the subject of intense research by scientists.

“Still no response?”

He sneered and picked up his storage bag. He then raised his hand and formed a seal, condensing a fireball in his palms.

The extremely high temperature emitted caused the air to distort. The fireball condensed by Song Shi’s True Energy was far hotter than ordinary fireb.a.l.l.s.

With a tap of his finger, the fireball landed on the shattered corpse. The high temperature was released, directly igniting it and turning it into ashes at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“As expected of the fireball of the cultivation world. Its temperature is impressive.”

It was Song Shi’s first time dealing with a corpse and burning it felt pretty good.

From the burning flesh and blood, something suddenly flew out and turned into a jade-colored spot of light as it tried to escape.

“He really didn’t die and turned into an insect…”

Song Shi was stunned. Although the other party ran quite fast, he still saw it clearly. It was an insect that looked like a jade cicada.

“Do you think you can escape?”

With a sneer, he took a step forward and chased after it.

Under the influence of the Yin Yang Reversal Formation Disc, The jade cicada seemed to be escaping, but it was actually flying around in a circle like a headless fly.

“d.a.m.n this Trapping Array!”

Hei Duzi’s furious voice came from within the jade cicada. When he sensed a huge hand grabbing at him from behind, his body swayed as he dodged.

“You’re quite agile!”

Song Shi was rather surprised that he missed.

His current physique was very strong, even at the Foundation Establishment realm. If he did not condense a Dharma Body, he probably would not be able to withstand his own strength. However, the Phantom image Steps enhanced by his powerful Physique still could not catch this thing.

Swoosh!

Seeing that he could not escape, the latter suddenly changed his direction and turned to fly at Song Shi, wanting to attack.

Clang!

The sound of swords rang out.

The Gentleman Sword pierced through the air.

The jade cicada hurriedly dodged. The sword light brushed past its wings and actually caused sparks to appear.

Then, he turned his wings and flew towards his own Dharma artifacts.

Song Shi was shocked. Why was this insect’s body like refined iron? It was completely different from the black worm.

He hurriedly slapped out and the Nine Yang True Energy from his palms formed a millstone-sized flame palm print that blasted over.

The jade cicada did not expect Song Shi to know martial arts where he did not even need to form a seal to launch a ferocious attack. As such he only managed to dodge a portion of the palm print.

BOOM!

The Iron Sand Palm struck the jade cicada and the power of fire contained in it made it scream. Half of its body turned charred black and it was blasted to the side of the alms bowl Dharma artifact.

“Please, spare me. I’m privy to a fortuitous opportunity that can grant immortality. All I ask in exchange is for my life!”

The jade cicada begged for mercy.

“A great opportunity?”

Song Shi pursed his lips seemingly in consideration before he slashed at the jade cicada.

Ding!

A portion of the tip of a sword like the Gentleman Sword actually shattered. However, under the pressure of the powerful force contained in it, it successfully cut the jade cicada in half.

His expression was cold, “I’m not interested in whatever opportunity. I just want to kill you!”

What kind of opportunity could compare to his lucky draw system?

And after all, what kind of grudge could compare to how this fellow almost exterminated his entire family?

The jade cicada let out a miserable cry and trembled a few times. Suddenly, it shone brightly.

“Ah! You destroyed my precious cicada body. I will possess your soul now!”

Hei Duzi’s soul let out a strange cry. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws as it shot out from the shattered The jade cicada and pounced at Song Shi.

“Possession?”

Upon hearing this, Song Shi’s eyes lit up. This was a unique way to die. Why hadn’t he thought of it?

He purposefully did not raise his palm that was already covered in flames, looking like he did not have time to react.

Hei Duzi’s soul pounced on Song Shi’s body. With a sizzling sound, Song Shi’s Vajra Dharma Body shone brightly. It was stimulated and erupted with a power that was evil suppressing.

“Ah!”

Hei Duzi cried out in pain as his soul rapidly dimmed under the golden light.

He said indignantly, “Dharma Body? How is that possible? How can a seventh level Qi Refinement cultivator like you cultivate a Dharma Body?!”

Although the Dharma Body was only a type of Physique, it was on the same level as Dharma artifacts and possessed some of the power of Dharma artifacts!

Coupled with the enhancement of Spiritual Energy, with the strength of certain bones in the human body, they could match up with Dharma artifacts in battle.

How could Song Shi have a physique that was even difficult for Foundation Establishment Cultivators to cultivate?!

Could it be that he originally had a Connate Dharma Body?

How unfair the heavens were. They had allowed his enemies to birth such a cultivation genius.

“F*ck, don’t burn him to death!”

Song Shi exclaimed in his heart. He hurriedly controlled the power of his Dharma Body and restrained it, pretending that he was no match for Hei Duzi.

Hei Duzi’s eyes which were in despair suddenly lit up as he laughed heartily, “The heavens will not be rid of me yet!”

He turned into a dim light and entered Song Shi’s glabella and began to possess him.

Song Shi could only feel a pain in his head. His entire consciousness seemed to have been impacted by something. His head tilted back and he almost staggered and fell.

Something drilled into his head and turned into a man in black that appeared in his sea of consciousness.

The moment the latter saw Song Shi’s soul, he screamed in horror, “Impossible, how can your soul be so strong!”

In front of him, there were three giant flames that made up Song Shi’s soul, which were three times larger than his small size.

Song Shi looked down at the foreign object in his sea of consciousness and frowned slightly. “In other words, you can’t possess me?”

The latter had already collapsed and his face was filled with resentment, “Once the Possession skill is activated, it can’t be stopped. It’s either you die or I die. I don’t believe that your soul is really that powerful!”

He rushed over and opened his mouth. His normal mouth suddenly expanded in this spiritual world, becoming larger than his body, making him look like he wanted to swallow an elephant.

Puchi!

Unfortunately, before his b.l.o.o.d.y mouth could engulf the flames completely, his soul collapsed like an egg hitting a rock.

In his shattered head, wisps of soul turned into mist and dissipated, then it was absorbed by Song Shi’s sea of consciousness.

His soul twisted and returned to his human form. His head had become much smaller and more transparent.

“G.o.d, I can’t accept this!”

Hei Duzi cursed, his expression filled with despair once again.

“That’s it? How useless!”

Song Shi didn’t think much of it. He didn’t even try to block it. Just his instinct in his sea of consciousness made it impossible for Hei Duzi to possess him.

He raised his hand and grabbed Hei Duzi, squeezing him hard.

Puchi!

Just like a bubble shattering, the other party’s soul was crushed into pieces. Wisps of Hei Duzi’s original soul fused into his Sea of Consciousness and were slowly devoured.

“Ding… congratulations on killing the target of death. You are rewarded with one chance to draw the lottery!”

The system notification finally appeared. Song Shi knew that he had successfully killed this guy.

Song Shi regained consciousness and glanced at the broken jade cicada.

“What trash. Next time, I will find someone more powerful to possess me!”

He snorted as a string of memories suddenly surged into his mind. All of them were from Hei Duzi.

A large number of memories had surged in, causing his mind to be in a mess.

Song Shi frowned and concentrated on absorbing it as if he was watching a movie.
