Yinshan Record

Chapter 495 Yuwen's Ingenious Method of Baiting
The eunuch in blue didn't speak; he looked down at the blood on his clothes.

"Your Excellency is a man of great potential, yet you do not know how to cherish it. Please do as you see fit."

As he spoke, he slowly cupped his hands in greeting and strode toward the Cizhou Imperial Censorate.

Su Che didn't speak, but simply raised his head and looked at the Imperial Guard Office in front of him.

"You're just letting him go like that? That old geezer looks like a bad seed; he's probably going to cause trouble."

The little fox whispered in his ear, "Why don't I follow him and do it?"

"No need."

Su Che stepped forward slowly, his hands tucked into his sleeves.

"You need bait like this to catch those small fish in murky waters."

A gentle breeze arose with the change in the air, blowing open the gates of the Imperial Guard's office. Inside, a row of young eunuchs dressed in blue robes stood, some holding weapons and nocking arrows, while others trembled and looked bewildered.

However, they had one thing in common: their faces were deathly pale.

"Get out of my way, all of you! With your paltry skills, you dare to show off in front of Young Master Su?"

Lee Il-jin.

This alchemist exuded a murderous aura, causing the eunuchs to sway back and forth. If it weren't for the special treatment given by the Imperial Guards, they would probably have been reduced to rubble long ago.

"Lord Changxin, we meet again."

A hint of mockery flashed in Li Yizhen's eyes: "What, are you planning to directly kill officials and rebel this time? Although I am a disgraced official, I am still carrying out the king's orders..."

Their words fell flat, and their auras clashed. Because they were so close, their cultivated magical powers clashed. Their wills moved at will, and the surrounding area reverberated incessantly.

"You want to fight me in Cizhou City?"

Li Yizhen sneered, "If the two of us were to use our full strength, this Cizhou City would probably be reduced to dust."

"Too confident."

Su Che extended his right hand from his sleeve, and a point of light flickered and changed in his palm.

"I think you probably can't even break a roof tile."

With a flick of his right hand, a streak of light flashed past, heading straight for Li Yizhen's throat.

"You've only mastered such a meager amount of Yuan Magnetic Techniques, yet you dare to show off?"

Li Yizhen billowed his robe sleeves and held them horizontally in front of him, his Xuanmen Qi, cultivated through arduous practice, solidified like steel, transforming into a direct barrier.

kill.

The aurora flashed past Li Yizhen's ear, but it slithered along a clever curve like a snake, its target being the eunuchs behind Li Yizhen.

not good.

Li Yizhen let out a silent exclamation, but deep down she was indeed somewhat delighted.

These eunuchs were all brought from the palace; in other words, they were all servants of the emperor. Since they were servants of the emperor, their lives were far more precious than those of ministers.

Su Che, you really let anger cloud your judgment.

In that instant, the primordial magnetic aurora, like a flying needle, pierced tiny wounds on the six yang heads of the eunuchs, instantly eroding their flesh and essence, leaving only charred corpses.

In the blink of an eye, all the eunuchs in this courtyard were killed by Su Che.

"You, surnamed Su, have saved me a lot of trouble."

Li Yizhen flicked her sleeves and stepped back.

The distance is indeed too close now; even a master of the Rejuvenation Pill realm cannot unleash their full power.

"What's the point of saying anything now that things have come to this?"

Yin energy surged around Su Che, and a clear light, like a bright moon, shone behind his head.

Li Yizhen looked at Su Che in front of her. He still had the cultivation level of a pivotal figure, but now Su Che seemed to have undergone some changes that were hard to describe. These changes made Li Yizhen instinctively feel a sense of danger.

The clarity of mind he had painstakingly cultivated was constantly reminding him that death and the end were just around the corner.

Everything seemed unchanged, but there was now a world of difference between the two sides.

Perhaps the end has finally come.

With a long roar, Li Yizhen, a cultivator who had attained the Core Formation stage, soared into the sky, riding on his powerful aura.

The stage in Cizhou City is too small; if we're going to fight, it'll be much more exciting in the sky.

Su Che looked at him from afar and slowly shook his head.

The power of Yin and Yang primordial magnetic force suddenly descended upon Li Yizhen like a shackle.

The suction force generated by the Yin and Yang energies was constantly pulling him downwards, slowing down his escape.

"I do admire Yuwen Rui's little schemes."

Su Che said calmly.

"I heard you had a feud with Yuwen Rui, and that you managed to escape from him. I was initially quite impressed by your speed, but looking at you now..."

Young Master Su smiled contemptuously.

"Yuwen Rui is truly cunning."

Li Yizhen felt the pressure on his body gradually increasing. Even with his speed at the level of the Rejuvenation Pill, he was experiencing a loss of speed. The sky that was once right in front of him now felt like he was carrying a thousand-pound burden, and he could no longer fly away.

Su Che gazed at Li Yizhen in the sky and slowly adjusted the Yin-Yang Magnetic Aurora.

The power of Yin and Yang primordial magnetic force is built upon the two energies of Yin and Yang; in other words, it is one of the fundamental reasons why all things can exist. It is not usually manifest, but is hidden in the principles that drive things. Every breath, every movement, actually involves the participation of the power of primordial magnetic force.

Not to mention more concrete things like migratory birds flying far away or thunderbolts falling from the sky.

As a principle that pervades all things, one characteristic of the primordial magnetic force is that it can easily combine with other laws.

Su Che's current method of controlling Li Yizhen and preventing him from leaving is based on the combination of the power of Yuan Magnetic and the Zhou Jue Yin Tian Secret Manual.

When that profound "virtue of the Earth" merges into the Yin-Yang primordial magnetism, it can generate a tremendous suction force, adding a layer of weight that makes it difficult for the enemy to escape.

This is also one of the results of Su Che's special training during his time in Huangtiandao.

"What a joke."

As the force of the magnetic field gradually increased, Li Yizhen watched his body descend continuously. The flying technique he once relied on seemed to have disappeared at this moment.

"Yuwen Rui is no good person at all. Haven't you ever thought about why you've been able to escape from him time and time again?"

Su Che looked at Li Yizhen with cold eyes, as if she were a piece of meat on a chopping board.

"Why... why?"

"Because he's fishing. If someone as fast as you can escape, then many people will take chances, thinking that their own speed is extraordinary and that they can escape like you if they run into Grand Tutor Yuwen. At that time, Yuwen Rui can slowly manipulate these unlucky guys who believed his nonsense." Su Che's tone was quite regretful: "In his heart, you probably have no other value at all, and can only be used as bait to fish for him. Alas, Li Yizhen, you really haven't understood this in your whole life."

"Insanity!"

Li Yizhen roared loudly, and a snake's head emerged from his severed arm. It turned out that his severed arm had somehow become connected to a giant crimson snake. This evil snake had four eyes on its head, and as it roared, a faint purple mist spread out.

"Su Che, let's see if your sharp tongue outshines mine, or this golden python..."

Electric light and flint.

Su Che leaped up from the ground, accompanied by lightning, and rushed over rapidly using the power of the elemental magnetism.

Li Yizhen shook the snake's head, and before he could react, Su Che pointed a finger at his chest.

"too slow."

Su San Gongzi's eyes were slightly fierce. With a flick of his finger, the Yuan Magnetic Power condensed into a sword light, which went straight for Li Yizhen's eyes.

The sword light was so fast that it happened in an instant. Li Yizhen didn't even have time to think before his eyes were pierced by the sword energy. His eyeballs immediately burst open, and the crimson blood and flesh mixed with the magnetic aurora turned into scorched wounds.

"Su Che!"

Li Yizhen roared, but his body grew colder day by day.

He didn't know what methods Su Che had used, but he could feel an indescribable chill rising from his heart. That chill was constantly devouring the flesh and life force in his body, like a bone-deep ailment, relentlessly attacking his very foundation.

Although his eyes were stolen, Li Yizhen's spiritual senses remained. For a Core Formation cultivator, the perception of the soul is the most direct way to observe the world. Li Yizhen believed he still had the strength to fight. He took out something from his sleeve and unfolded it into the air. Countless six-winged monsters rose from it and surged towards Su Che.

These are poisonous creatures painstakingly cultivated by Li Yizhen. Each one is formed from his flesh and blood and is intimately connected with him.

After returning to Jiankang, he spent a great deal of effort refining it. It was extremely poisonous, and he wanted to use it to gain the upper hand when fighting other cultivators. Each poisonous insect contained a small amount of potent poison that could pollute the soul. If you were bitten by it by accident, you would not feel anything at first, but as time went on, the accumulation of these toxins would lead to the decay of your soul.

The strange insects swarmed up and completely enveloped Su Che in an instant. It seemed that the Third Young Master Su had no time to dodge and was surrounded by countless poisonous insects, becoming an "insect man".

"Hahahaha, Su Che, this is an ancient witchcraft technique, there is no way to undo it. In seven more days, will your soul perish!"

Looking at Su Che being swallowed by the strange insects, Li Yizhen felt an indescribable sense of pleasure.

Ever since he was driven out of the Northern Kingdom by Yuwen Rui, he had been constantly on the move. Even though he managed to get a position in the Censorate in the Southern Dynasty, he never had a moment of peace in his heart.

The ever-expanding shadow to the north had always been his nightmare. Countless times he had woken up in the middle of the night, dreaming of Yuwen Rui leading a large army south, and the scene of him being captured and humiliated by Yuwen Rui.

But now, Li Yizhen feels that her broken spine has finally been put back in place.

Although unwilling to admit it, Li Yizhen knew very well that Yuwen Rui was an unparalleled talent, and Su Che was also an unparalleled talent.

Now that Su Che has been able to pay the price, it means that he has regained the confidence he had when facing Yuwen Rui.

With a mental barrier removed, Li Yizhen felt a sense of peace in his soul. His cultivation, which had been shackled for a long time, also showed signs of loosening. Given time, he might be able to reach a higher level.

He watched as Su Che was swallowed up by the strange insects.

Young Su, I should thank you.

Now that my Dao heart has been restored to perfection, I will surely be able to work with Yuwen Rui again in the future...

"interesting."

A cold remark cast a shadow of gray over Li Yizhen once again.

He turned his head and saw that Su Che was holding a poisonous insect in his hand. It had six wings like knives and a human face. It was struggling and trying to bite Su Che, but because it was separated by a layer of magnetic force, it was just a helpless struggle.

“A very interesting method,” Su Che looked at Li Yizhen. “It doesn’t seem to be from the Xuanmen (Taoist sect) or the Buddhist sect. What is its origin?”

Li Yizhen stared at the figure being devoured by the strange insects, wondering what was going on.

Each of the strange insects was formed from his flesh and blood, and was connected to his body. However, the feedback from the strange insects showed that Su Che was being devoured by them. The dripping flesh and blood and the abundance of yang energy were the most direct evidence.

Who is this Su Che standing in front of me?

"I remember there is a sect among the unorthodox schools called Spirit Witches, and it seems that there are still some remnants of them in the Southern Wilderness."

Su Che toyed with the strange insect in his palm, the magnetic force between his fingers turning into streaks of lightning, and the strange insect struggled endlessly in agony.

"So you're also skilled in mystical arts. No wonder you're not smart, yet you've managed to survive until now."

"Su Che!"

Li Yizhen roared.

However, a flash of blue light appeared, and the poisonous insects vanished without a trace.

Li Yizhen tried hard to sense them, but these strange insects formed from his flesh and blood seemed to have vanished from the world and could no longer be found.

"That should be about right."

Su Che stretched out a hand and said calmly, "Come out."

Li Yizhen tried her best to control her body, but found that her mental clarity was constantly fading. Su Che's attack just now seemed to have no effect, or perhaps it had caused her some kind of irreversible injury.

"Is it not enough yet? Maybe it's not the right time."

Su Che looked at his fingertips.

"Well."

Li Yizhen knelt on the ground, looking at his chest, where two human faces had appeared out of nowhere, trying to escape menacingly through his clothes.

Three, four, more and more faces appear, but the clarity in one's mind diminishes.

His carefully cultivated magical power was difficult to use; at this moment, he felt as if he had lost everything, and he knelt on the ground in despair.

Su Che patted him gently on the shoulder and walked inside.

"There are still some flaws, but it should be perfect soon." Su Che smiled. "Also, let me tell you, dying at my hands is not a shameful thing."

The little fox hugged Su Che's arm and made a face at Li Yizhen with a giggle.

"You're quite the sarcastic one."

"His defeat is truly not shameful."

Su Che stepped forward.

Li Yizhen's defeat was indeed not unjust, because Su Che's attack just now incorporated four of the world's top martial arts techniques into one move.

First is the Moon Serpent Shadow Seal. This seal attacks the point where form and spirit intersect, like a venomous snake clinging to its shadow, making it elusive and difficult to grasp.

Once the image of the Moon Serpent is imprinted at the point where form and spirit meet, it will use the Nine Netherworld Reincarnation Method to separate out the endless Yin ghosts it has nurtured in the Secret Record of the Yin Heaven of the King of Zhou, such as a certain evil ghost army soul found in the forbidden land of Yuyang Mountain.

You must know that these evil spirits and malevolent spirits have long since merged with my magical power and entered the Yinshan Cave Netherworld Treasure Record together. Without the Nine Netherworld Reincarnation Method, they cannot be separated.

Ultimately, the mysterious methods from the "Taiyi Donghua Jade Book" were used to perform the "spirit-planting" technique.

This is the most critical step.
