Ch 206: Qie Man Vs. Hu Loulan ①

“`

Zhang Buran blew up that collapsed section along with the entire layer above it, fundamentally eliminating the possibility of a secondary collapse.

Lin Wanmo widened her eyes, maintaining her posture of covering her ears, and didn’t recover for a long time.

“Can you still feel your legs?”

Zhang Buran turned and asked.

“St…still…”

Lin Wanmo stammered in reply, completely dumbfounded by the scene just now.

Zhang Buran gently moved the enormous stone slab pressing down on Lin Wanmo’s legs.

Although Zhang Buran’s movements were already very gentle, the piercing pain from her legs still caused Lin Wanmo to break out in a cold sweat and her lips to turn pale.

“Hang in there.”

Zhang Buran began to cast a healing spell on Lin Wanmo’s mangled leg.

“Mmm…it hurts…but it feels so good…”

Lin Wanmo had been dizzy, but now her expression improved slightly.

“What was that? My leg doesn’t hurt as much anymore…”

“Magic.”

“Magic? Zhang Buran…who exactly are you?”

“A Daoist.”

“A Daoist? Why didn’t you tell me before?”

“It’s confidential.”

Suddenly, Lin Wanmo remembered something and grabbed Zhang Buran’s arm, anxiously pleading, “Quickly save my parents! They’re too badly injured!”

Zhang Buran used both hands, one on each, to cast healing arts on Lin Zhenghao and Song Qianyu.

After a moment, Zhang Buran looked grave.

“Your parents’ condition isn’t optimistic.”

Lin Zhenghao and Song Qianyu had both been hit by heavy objects, suffering multiple fractures, internal organ damage, and excessive blood loss…

For ordinary people, such injuries are basically beyond recovery.

Even with healing magic, Zhang Buran didn’t dare say he could save their lives with such severe injuries.

“It’s all my fault. They used their bodies to shield me from the falling rocks. If it weren’t for me, they wouldn’t have…wouldn’t have…” Lin Wanmo broke down crying.

Recalling the scene just now, the accident happened so suddenly. Lin Zhenghao and Song Qianyu formed a wall of flesh with their bodies, blocking the collapsing rocks and saving Lin Wanmo.

But they themselves were too seriously injured and were in critical condition.

In the face of life and death, parents will always risk their lives to protect their children…

“Please, you must save my parents! If they die, I…I won’t live either…Woo woo woo…”

Zhang Buran didn’t answer but remained grave.

Suddenly, Zhang Buran disappeared with a “Nourish” sound.

Lin Wanmo thought Zhang Buran didn’t want to help and cried even louder.

Looking at her parents lying in a pool of blood, Lin Wanmo only felt lonely, helpless, and utterly hopeless…

But after ten seconds, Zhang Buran reappeared with another “Nourish” sound, and brought Zhu Zhu with him.

Lin Wanmo’s crying stopped abruptly.

“Can you cure them?”

Zhang Buran pointed to Lin Zhenghao and Song Qianyu and asked Zhu Zhu.

Zhang Buran only glanced at Zhu Zhu’s healing art; he had learned it by rote.

The healing effect was certainly not as good as Zhu Zhu’s.

Zhu Zhu squatted down and used healing arts to treat the two of them. Afterward, she looked troubled.

“Their internal organs are damaged, and their bodily functions are almost gone. Ordinary healing arts won’t work. Unless I form hand seals and cast a spell.”

“But this arm of mine will take at least twelve hours to regrow. By then, those two will already…”

Zhu Zhu didn’t continue, but her meaning was clear.

“Can you teach me to form hand seals and cast a spell?” Zhang Buran suggested. “Maybe I can learn.”

“I only have one hand. How can I teach you to form hand seals?” Zhu Zhu asked soulfully.

Zhang Buran: “…”

“Just use words. Teach me how to form hand seals.”

“First, overlap your hands, then do this, then that…”

“Like this?”

“No, your middle finger should be behind your index finger…”

“…”

…

At the sea bottom, Hu Loulan retracted her hands and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Mu Dieyi’s soul, although forcibly stabilized by Hu Loulan, was extremely weak.

“I have to catch ghosts!”

“Dieyi, wait for me. I’ll catch ghosts and bring them back for you to eat!”

Hu Loulan was frantic. Mu Dieyi’s soul now needed to be nourished by ghost qi, otherwise it would transform from a soul into a ghost.

If the soul turned into a ghost, there would be no chance of resurrection.

Mu Dieyi nodded, too weak to speak.

Hu Loulan rode her green turtle and quickly swam towards the sea surface…

…

Qie Man grabbed a Spirit-Level Ghost in each hand, squeezed them, and inhaled their Ghost Qi into his nostrils.

“his~~Wonderful…”

Qie Man enjoyed absorbing the Ghost Qi. By now, he had devoured dozens of stray ghosts running around.

It’s no exaggeration to say that Qie Man’s strength was almost back to its peak.

“Hmm, and a General-Level Ghost?”

“Kid, where do you think you’re going!”

Qie Man’s body shot out like an arrow from a bow.

Seeing that it had been exposed, the General-Level Ghost, which had been trying to sneak away, gave up on escaping and decided to fight to the death.

The General-Level Ghost spewed black poison qi, but Qie Man swatted it away with a slap.

“Ghost Poison? Hahaha, daring to show off your skills in front of me!”

Qie Man, known as the Poison Ghost, had reached the pinnacle of poison skill control.

Qie Man struck out with a palm, and green poison qi formed a poisonous palm that hit the General-Level Ghost.

“Ah!”

The General-Level Ghost screamed, enveloped and devoured by the poison qi…

This General-Level Ghost was already low on health; it couldn’t withstand Qie Man’s attack and instantly turned to ash, dissolving into ghost qi.

Qie Man opened his mouth and absorbed all the ghost qi.

“I, the Poison Ghost Qie Man, have finally recovered my full strength!”

Qie Man suddenly opened his eyes, his body radiating substantial green ghost qi, and poison mist scattered.

At that moment, a wave splashed on the sea surface, and a black giant dragon broke through the waves.

“Hmm?”

Qie Man turned his head and showed no alarm at the sight of the dragon.

The next moment, another green giant dragon emerged from the sea and soared into the sky.

Hu Loulan stood on the head of the green dragon, looked around, and immediately noticed Qie Man.

Feeling Qie Man’s terrifying ghost qi, Hu Loulan couldn’t help but look grave.

“Roar!”

Wuji and the green turtle simultaneously let out a dragon roar, as if to intimidate.

“Kid, are those two little mudfish your pets?”

Qie Man asked disdainfully.

“Are you blind? They’re dragons.”

Hu Loulan looked at Qie Man, not daring to relax at all.

This was the first time Hu Loulan had encountered a ghost that just stood there, radiating such powerful pressure.

“To me, they’re just two slightly larger mudfish.”

Qie Man remained disdainful, a sneer on his lips.

“Did you eat all the ghosts that appeared earlier?”

Hu Loulan noticed that there wasn’t a trace of any other ghosts around, and Qie Man still had residual ghost qi that didn’t belong to him.

“So what?”

Qie Man was incredibly arrogant:

“Those little ghosts were just an appetizer for me.”

“Is that so…”

Hu Loulan frowned, a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes.

“Then you shall die in their place!”

Qie Man sneered: “Arrogant! I’m not killing humans now, I don’t want to fight you!”

“Roar!”

As soon as Qie Man finished speaking, Wuji roared angrily and spewed out cold qi that enveloped heaven and earth!

Qie Man was startled and quickly fled.

The cold qi froze the sea surface for hundreds of meters.

Hu Loulan landed on the ice, waved her hands, and the black and green dragons flew towards Qie Man simultaneously!

Wuji’s freezing breath had a range of several hundred meters. Wherever it passed, the seawater froze.

Qie Man could only fly quickly to escape, temporarily avoiding the sharp edge.

Seizing the opportunity, Qie Man unleashed a poison palm.

The poison palm collided with the freezing breath, and the two canceled each other out.

Just as Qie Man caught his breath, he heard a dragon roar from the sea beneath the ice.

“Roar!”

The green dragon broke through the ice, spitting out scorching dragon flames!

The dragon flames were like a rising mushroom cloud, and scorching heat waves swept over.

Qie Man quickly wrapped himself in poison qi, forming a ball, and the next moment he was engulfed by the flames…

The green dragon continued to spew flames, the towering fire column roasting everything, and Qie Man was no longer visible.

But Hu Loulan knew it wasn’t that simple.

Sure enough, the next second, purple poison qi exploded from the flames and spread outwards.

“I admit your two little mudfish are strong, but kid, to me, mudfish are still mudfish!”

“World Devouring Demon Demise.”

Purple mist erupted from Qie Man’s eyes, nose, and mouth. With the World Devouring Demon Demise unleashed, Qie Man became even more arrogant.

“My World Devouring Demon Demise can corrode all things in the world, including fire and ice!”

“Your dragons’ breaths are useless against me!”

“Roar!”

Wuji’s freezing breath was unleashed, but it was canceled out by the purple mist emitted from Qie Man’s hand.

The green turtle’s flames swept from behind Qie Man, who turned around and struck out with a palm.

The mist turned into a poison palm and struck the green turtle’s dragon body.

“Roar…”

The green turtle let out a pained cry, its dragon scales corroded by the poison qi, emitting a “Squeak” sound of smoke.

Wuji flew over quickly, surrounding Qie Man with its long dragon body. Its huge dragon head descended from the sky, opening its bloody maw to swallow Qie Man.

However, Qie Man didn’t dodge at all, remaining motionless, even putting his hands behind his back.

“Beast, do you know why I don’t dodge?”

“Because I’m not afraid.”

Wuji’s bloody maw descended, biting Qie Man to pieces, scattering him into green mist.

“Roar——!”

Just as Wuji let out a victorious dragon roar, the green mist gathered again, forming Qie Man’s body.

“Beast, do you think you can kill me?”

“Ten Thousand Poisons Devour the Heavens Palm.”

Qie Man used both palms simultaneously. In an instant, the purple poison qi condensed into a giant palm that blotted out the sky.

“Haaah——ya!”

Qie Man gritted his teeth, gathering his strength, and unleashed the poison palm.

“Roar!”

Wuji was also stubborn, neither dodging nor evading, and sprayed ice towards the approaching giant palm, but it was useless.

Hit by the giant palm, the poison qi, which could corrode everything, caused Wuji unbearable pain.

At the same time, Wuji’s huge dragon body was knocked back dozens of meters and fell into the sea.

“Mudfish are still mudfish. Roaring a couple of times, you really think you’re a dragon?”

Qie Man shook his hands disdainfully and shook his head.

But just as he relaxed his guard, Qie Man felt a gust of wind coming from behind.

As soon as Qie Man turned his head, a heavy blow came straight at him!

“Bang!”

Qie Man was hit by Hu Loulan’s surprise attack, feeling dizzy.

“Ah! Kid, you dare to ambush me!”

Qie Man was greatly surprised; he didn’t expect Hu Loulan’s body arts to be so powerful.

Hu Loulan didn’t speak, continuing with several powerful heavy blows!

It had to be a quick battle.

Without ghosts as nourishment, Dieyi’s soul might transform into a ghost!
