Hide in the world of gods and demons

Chapter 28 No Different Again
It's a long story, but actually, from the moment Chen Li launched his attack to the moment the first masked cultivator fell dead, it only took a second.

The other masked monk sensed something was wrong and tried to escape, but it was too late.

He had just moved his feet.

Chen Li has suffered another blow.

The countless unjustly killed insects in the wild and his incredibly precise muscle control have forged his unparalleled 'spiritual finger flick,' which can strike anyone, no matter how gracefully they fly or how enchanting their trajectory.

Just a breath.

The masked cultivator's body trembled violently, his protective aura shattered, his chest was pierced, and most of his head exploded.

Three strikes would have been enough, but Chen Lisheng was afraid that the opponent would retaliate before dying, and that if he didn't kill the snake, he would suffer the consequences instead.

As Chen Li searched for his third target, he discovered that a masked cultivator, wielding a shield-like magical artifact as tall as a person, had left the battlefield and was rushing towards him, ignoring the magical artifacts flying from the three night watchmen behind him.

"Fellow Daoist, be careful!" someone exclaimed beside me.

Chen Li seemed not to hear him at all; he was in a state of 'flow' in the game, completely absorbed.

Despite the tension and excitement, my mind remained crystal clear, allowing me to handle all situations that arose on the battlefield with remarkable composure.

The amulet in his hand quickly ignited, and then he grasped the ritual implement.

He silently chanted the incantation for the 'rebuke technique'.

At the same time, the 'spiritual energy flick' continued to shoot out like a storm.

Although the masked cultivator tried his best to dodge and desperately urged his spiritual power, as the shield was hit one after another, the spiritual light on it dimmed rapidly like a plunge into water, and the shield began to shrink rapidly, and it was clear that it could no longer protect his body.

"Aaaaah, I'll fight you to the death!"

The masked monk let out a desperate roar from the bottom of his throat, and pulled out a talisman, preparing to activate it.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

In that instant, Chen Li's brain suddenly became congested with blood, his mind became highly focused, his eyes were bright and bloodshot, and he then uttered a divine sound.

"roll!!!"

Chen Li's basic reprimand technique was naturally not very effective against this kind of battle-hardened and determined thug. He was only slightly dazed for a moment before recovering completely.

However, this moment of distraction extinguished all his life force.

When he came to his senses, a flick of spiritual energy severed his right leg, followed by his left leg...

The masked cultivator, having lost both legs, tilted and fell uncontrollably. The moment his shield spun and revealed his head, the panic on his face had not yet subsided when another flick of spiritual energy shattered his skull.

Meanwhile, the battle over there had ended, and all four invading cultivators were annihilated.

The battlefield fell silent.

Only Chen Li's heavy breathing remained.

He seemed not to have snapped out of his killing spree, cautiously surveying his surroundings.

Every time his gaze swept over the night patrolmen in front of them, their nerves tightened, cold sweat poured down their backs, and they felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

"Fellow Daoist Chen... it seems to be over." A rogue cultivator who had come with Chen Li sensed something was wrong, swallowed hard, and cautiously reminded him.

"Yes, yes, they were all taken down by Fellow Daoist Chen," a rogue cultivator nearby quickly added.

"Phew, I was a little too nervous." Chen Li felt relieved upon hearing this and said with a self-deprecating laugh.

"Haha, indeed... I'm quite nervous," a rogue cultivator said with a forced smile.

you do not say!

Although they hadn't even had time to use any of their magical artifacts or activate a single talisman, their hearts were still pounding as they watched Chen Li easily resolve the battle in just a few breaths. The remaining three night patrolmen hesitated for a moment, exchanged glances, and then quickly approached.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist and everyone else, for your help. We are deeply grateful. Otherwise, we might have been in grave danger. It's just a pity that Fellow Daoist Chen Muyu and Fellow Daoist Zhang Lan have suffered this calamity." The leading night patrolman cupped his hands in gratitude.

"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me. Your night patrols are for the sake of the neighbors on this street. It's a righteous act. How could we not come if there's danger?" Chen Li forced himself to say a polite remark.

The stench of blood grew stronger, and several gruesome corpses lay in the distance, occasionally coming into his view.

He felt he was about to break down, his body trembling uncontrollably. During the battle, he was excited, his blood was boiling, and he was completely focused. But now that he was awake, he felt completely exhausted, and his hands and feet were weak and uncontrollable.

"Now that it's resolved, I'll take my leave," Chen Li said, turning to walk away.

If we don't leave now, we'll embarrass ourselves.

"Hey, fellow Daoist, wait a minute! The spoils haven't been divided yet!" a night patrolman shouted.

Thinking of the blood-stained spoils of war, Chen Li originally wanted to casually say that he didn't need them, but what came out of his mouth was: "How about you convert them into spirit stones for me!"

Then, after thinking for a moment, he added, "My name is Chen Li, and I live next to Fellow Daoist Zhou Hong."

……

"This Fellow Daoist Chen is truly a hidden master. Has anyone here ever seen such a terrifying spell?" a rogue cultivator who had come with Chen Li whispered.

“It looks a lot like ‘Spiritual Energy Flick,’ but does ‘Spiritual Energy Flick’ really have that much power?” one of the night watchmen said, flicking his spiritual energy finger at the ground.

There was a "pop" sound.

The soft mud beneath my feet created a shallow pit the size of a bowl.

Such power is enough to kill ordinary wild beasts, but to cross dozens of meters away like that Fellow Daoist Chen, shatter the protective aura of the talisman in two strikes, and completely kill a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining, is simply a pipe dream.

This is, after all, just a simple technique at the first level of Qi Refining.

"Perhaps it's a powerful secret technique that we don't know about."

……

Chen Li went into the house and closed the door.

He picked up the jar of boiled water and gulped it down.

"Snapped!"

Suddenly my hand went limp, and the water jug ​​fell to the ground and shattered.

"call!"

"He still killed someone!" His body trembled uncontrollably.

At that moment, not only was his body trembling, but his heart was also trembling.

Although he had a premonition that this day would come sooner or later, he didn't expect it to come so soon.

As his strength grew, so did his desire to try new things. He could have stayed home tonight, but the violent tendencies hidden within him compelled him to take this step as if possessed.

He killed three living people like chickens, simply by moving a few fingers and chanting a spell!

“The old society turned people into ghosts, and now I’ve become that ‘ghost’... In the end, I’ve been assimilated by this world.” He sighed inwardly.

Chen Li looked at his hands, which were still clean and unstained by any blood.

But he knew that his mindset would never be the same again, and he would no longer be any different from the unaffiliated repairmen in this shantytown.
