Transmigration: A person in a martial arts world, cultivating to ascend to immortality

Xi Man's appearance surprised Ni Chang and all the masked people.

As everyone knows, besides being a true master, the High Priest of Gu Nu Village is most feared by the world for his unparalleled Gu techniques.

With their boss away right now, even if all of them attacked together, they wouldn't be able to defeat him with just one hand.

Ni Chang quickly regained her composure and shouted sharply at the masked men around her, "Don't be afraid, everyone! She's been poisoned by my Gu. Even if she wakes up now, she won't have much strength left!"

Despite saying that, Ni Chang herself was not entirely confident.

After all, both Xi Man's expression and her unexpected awakening were beyond Ni Chang's expectations.

However, this was all she could say at the moment; otherwise, if morale collapsed, their operation would undoubtedly fail.

On the other side, the people of Gu Nu Zhai were overjoyed to see their high priest, who had been unconscious for many days, awaken at the crucial moment. Their morale soared, and everyone seemed to have gained boundless confidence. Their attacks became more ferocious and intense, as if they were determined to wipe out all the intruders.

The happiest of them all was Xi Yun.

"Brother Jiang must have used some miraculous means to awaken the High Priest at such a critical moment!" Ji Zizhou said with bright eyes and an excited tone.

Xi Yun nodded, thinking the same thing. "This time, our Gu Nu Village owes Senior Brother Jiang an immense debt of gratitude!"

Knowing she only had half an hour, Xi Man didn't waste any words and flew straight towards Ni Chang.

Once Ni Chang is dealt with, those masked men won't be able to cause much trouble.

Seeing Xi Man rushing towards her, Ni Chang hardened her heart, bit her tongue until it bled, and then used her true energy to turn the blood into a mist, spraying it at the Gu worms she had released.

After the Gu worm absorbed the blood from Ni Chang's tongue, its color instantly darkened, and its size even increased.

The Gu worms, after the drastic change, became much more powerful. Half of them were enough to deal with the four elders, while the other half were controlled by Ni Chang to attack Xi Man.

Xi Man watched as thousands of Gu worms lunged at her, her expression unchanged. She reached into her sleeve and instantly pulled out a snow-white insect that resembled a bee.

Immediately afterwards, Xi Man used her internal energy to force out a few drops of blood, which she then fed to the insect.

As it ingested fresh blood, the insect's originally snow-white body gradually gained color, adding a few touches of pink.

The insects had fully awakened by this time, and without Xi Man giving any further orders, they flapped their wings and directly faced the large swarm of Gu insects flying towards them.

The next moment, an amazing scene unfolded.

The swarm of Gu worms controlled by Ni Chang immediately lost their ability to move the moment they approached the pinkish-white insects, and fell to the ground in a flurry.

Ni Chang was not surprised at all, and she never expected that the swarm of Gu worms could stop Xi Man.

All he needed was for the circle of Gu worms to buy her a little time.

Although Xi Man eliminated all the carefully cultivated Gu worms, she had already achieved her goal.

Just as Xi Man was about to approach, Ni Chang had already fully activated her secret technique, awakening all the Gu worms cultivated with her essence blood within her body.

Once awakened, these Gu worms became hungry and began to frantically devour Ni Chang's internal organs.

As Ni Chang endured the excruciating pain of her internal organs being devoured, she began to transform into a non-human form. Her skin turned blackish-purple, and her body withered away at a visible rate, becoming like a dried-up corpse.

"--you!"

Even the well-traveled Xi Man was taken aback by Ni Chang's appearance.

She didn't recognize the secret technique Ni Chang was using, but she could clearly sense that the hundreds of Gu worms nurtured within Ni Chang's body were using it as a granary and nest. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they would lay hundreds of Gu worm eggs again.

As for Ni Chang's fate, it goes without saying that regardless of victory or defeat in this battle, death will be the final path she will face.

Although Xi Man was determined to kill Ni Chang, she couldn't help but feel a little sad when she saw that Ni Chang had ruined herself to this state in order to deal with her.

Ni Chang, who had transformed into a non-human, purple, desiccated corpse, had completely lost her mind. At this moment, all her actions were controlled by the Gu worms within her body.

However, Ni Chang's target remained unchanged, locking onto Xi Man directly. She braced herself with her hands and feet on the ground, leaping forward like an arrow shot from a fully drawn bow, charging towards Xi Man.

Such speed would leave an unforeseen person with no chance to react.

However, Xi Man was a grandmaster after all. After dodging Ni Chang's attack, she instantly used her lightness skill to lure Ni Chang out of the village.

At this point, Ni Chang could no longer be judged by common sense. If she continued to fight in the village, she would inevitably become restrained for fear of affecting other tribesmen. Therefore, it would be safest to lure people outside to resolve the issue.

After Ni Chang chased after Xi Man away, the Gu worms that she had previously controlled instantly lost their command, stopped attacking, and scattered away.

Freed from the entanglement of these Gu worms, the four elders who still had the strength to spare immediately turned their attention to helping the other clansmen deal with the masked man.

With the addition of four powerful elders, the disadvantages of the Gu Nu Village were finally alleviated to some extent.

On the other side, Xi Man lured Ni Chang away from the village to a certain distance before stopping and engaging her in battle.

With the blessing of the Gu worms, Ni Chang's speed and physical strength are beyond human comprehension; even a casual punch has the power to shatter rocks.

Moreover, after the swarm of Gu worms inside Ni Chang's body finish devouring her flesh, they secrete a highly toxic purple liquid.

These liquids, after being squeezed several times, can be sprayed out of Ni Chang's mouth at any time. Their power is no less than that of a sharp arrow, and they are enough to easily pierce through a human body.

This was, after all, a poisonous gu that Ni Chang had painstakingly cultivated over decades using her own flesh and blood, so its power was extraordinary.

Even a grandmaster cannot be careless in the face of this purple venom.

If you are accidentally hit by it, even if it is just a scratch, the poison will immediately invade your body, greatly reducing your strength and endangering your life.

Although Ni Chang was somewhat troublesome to deal with at this point, it wasn't a major problem for Xi Man, who was giving it her all. Taking her down was only a matter of time.

After the two fought for nearly the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Xi Man finally found an opportunity and smashed Ni Chang's head with a single palm strike, thus ending her life.

After Ni Chang died, the Gu worms inside her body immediately swarmed out, trying to escape in all directions.

Xi Man naturally couldn't allow these extremely dangerous poisonous insects to escape and wreak havoc on the world, so she immediately waved her hand and scattered a handful of green powder.

All the poisonous insects turned into puddles of liquid after being touched by the powder, and the dead were no longer dead.

After the threat was eliminated, Xi Man looked at Ni Chang's disfigured corpse again, stood quietly for a while, and then set off to fly towards the direction where Elder Sang Xun and Mao Yang were.

However, Mao Yang was much more cautious and cunning than Xi Man had imagined. After sensing the approach of another grandmaster, he immediately forced Sang Xun back with a palm strike, turned around and fled the place without hesitation.

"What swift movements! You moved with such decisiveness and efficiency!"

When Xi Man arrived, she watched Mao Yang's departing figure with a slight sense of regret.

Since this person colluded with Ni Chang to attack Gu Nu Zhai, it's hard to say that he doesn't have other intentions towards Gu Nu Zhai.

Letting this person leave would undoubtedly create another potential threat for Gunüzhai.

However, given this person's speed and agility, even if she and Elder Sang Xun wanted to chase after him, they simply couldn't catch up.

When Sang Xun saw Xi Man appear, he was both delighted and surprised. He immediately revealed the important information he had extracted from Mao Yang during the battle.

Xi Man then realized that decades ago, the person behind Ni Chang's revenge against Gu Nu Zhai was none other than Mao Yang!

This person's goal was to seize the sacred artifact of Gu Nu Village—the Longevity Gu.

"This person failed this time, it seems he will definitely try again in the future!"

Xi Man guessed.

After all, Mao Yang had been planning this for decades, demonstrating his unwavering determination to obtain the Longevity Gu. Even if he failed this time, he would never give up so easily; he would surely continue to lurk in the shadows, waiting for the next opportunity to strike.

Sang Xun clearly shared the same view as Xi Man, and said with a solemn expression, "It seems that our Gu Nu Village will have to be more vigilant in the future. It is not a good thing to be targeted by such a powerful grandmaster!"

Xi Man nodded, agreeing with Sang Xun's opinion.

Without saying another word, the two immediately set off back to the village.

With the most troublesome enemies either dead or fled, the remaining small fry naturally pose no threat whatsoever.

After returning to the village, Xi Man and Sang Xun disregarded the issue of bullying the weak and took drastic action, killing all the masked men who had not yet managed to escape.
