Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

Once you believe you have actually been struck by lightning and start to panic, the numbness will immediately turn into an unbearable burning pain.

Even though Xi Heng had the sword heart to counteract the mental influence, he would be momentarily disoriented during the sudden attack that alternated between reality and illusion—that was when the brow and heart lines came into play.

The spirit runes neutralized the effects of the thunderbolt, and Xi Heng's sword blade drew ever closer.

The enemy reacted swiftly, immediately blowing a long, piercing whistle from their bamboo flute.

The giant behind her immediately dispersed into countless purple lights, crashing towards her like waves crashing against the shore.

The girl thrust her rapier upwards, unleashing a white, malevolent sword aura that shattered the powerful purple light.

With another step in mid-air, the blade pierced straight into the woman in the yellow dress's waist and abdomen.

However, in the next instant, the opponent vanished, turning into an illusory, rippling afterimage.

Xi Heng was not surprised at all. He stepped onto the stone surface, his position overlapping with the afterimage of the other party.

He shifted his body and spun around, his sword finger flashing past the bottom of a rosewood tree on the side.

With a flick of his fingertips, a violently unleashed sword aura swept across, severing the entire tree in two, its crown flying and hurled far away.

The empty space beside the tree stump slowly twisted, and a human figure clutching its chest emerged from it.

Before Xi Heng could make out his appearance clearly, he had already started walking.

The sword tore a white mark, arriving in an instant.

This time, instead of passing through as before, it actually pierced into the enemy's slender figure.

A jade-green blade pierced through, leaving a trail of blood visible from behind.

Before the enemy could react, Xi Heng's fingers trembled, and a fierce burst of internal energy erupted forward, shattering the major and minor meridians within the opponent's body.

With a thud, the woman in the yellow dress instinctively opened her mouth and let out a low groan. Her movements suddenly stopped, and blood inevitably spilled from her mouth.

A few drops of blood traced an arc in the air and landed on the hem of the black robe worn by the white-haired girl.

She slowly drew her longsword again, leaving it dripping with blood.

The opponent's heart was ruptured, and blood was flowing uncontrollably from his body, gushing out from the wounds on his front and back.

However, this person was, after all, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and even with his meridians severed and his heart shattered, he still retained a clear consciousness.

"If you kill me today, thousands of Pure Fire Sect cultivators will surely be buried with me in the future," the other party said through gritted teeth.

Xi Heng noticed that the other person's life force was fading, so he let out a soft chuckle and whispered in the person's ear:

"My purpose is to stir up chaos in this world."

As the calm voice faded, the opponent's pupils dilated, and with all his might, he unleashed a spiritual light that transformed into a purple crystal dagger, silently launching Chao Xiheng's final counterattack.

With a mere thought, Xi Heng unleashed a sword aura that severed his unprotected forearm.

Finally, with a straight swing of the sword, he plucked off a head.

Immediately afterwards, the girl released the blood-stained longsword, and the Spirit Life Longsword automatically flew back into its sheath.

The blade is sheathed, producing a sword's hum.

The girl reached out and caught the head that had fallen from in front of her, then peacefully closed its eyes.

Once its life force had completely dissipated and the headless corpse had caused pools of blood to spread across the ground, she finally put the head into her storage bag.

Immediately afterwards, he activated the Obscuring Talisman to conceal his aura again, and pulled up the hood of his black robe to cover his face with the mist within.

Xi Heng let out a soft breath, and finally manipulated the resentful fire he had just sent into the Pure Fire outside the Seven Sect Alliance, activating the illusionary magic of the Spirit Locking Array to cover up this blood-soaked murder scene.

Because she had used the illusionary magic of the Soul-Locking Array beforehand, no enemy has come to support her even though more than a minute has passed since the start of the battle.

Her ability to manipulate the spirit-locking array provided considerable convenience for her actions today.

The girl witnessed the illusion created by the spirit array gradually obscuring the actual scene before her, and then she turned and left the place.

Then, following the small map I remembered, I headed to my next destination.

The blurry black shadows then drifted like afterimages through the sparsely populated streets and alleys.

During this time, he silently recited the previous battle, muttering to himself:

"The defensive spells that guy used just now were rather simple, and he didn't seem to be very good at them... He only used illusion spells to dodge attacks, and didn't have the ability to directly face and defend against them."

"As long as we can detect the location of its true form, we can easily kill it."

"I also possess a sword heart that can resist illusions, so I should be considered to have a relatively good advantage over my opponent."

"Later we will face other Foundation Establishment cultivators who practice different cultivation methods. Do not be careless. It is best to kill them with one blow."

Xi Heng quickened his pace as he muttered to himself.

A blurry afterimage flashed by on the sparsely populated street.

Even if a cultivator saw it, they would only assume that their own spiritual sense had malfunctioned—because when they tried to sense it again, the afterimage would disappear.

The girl, whose presence was barely noticeable, swept across a large area on the outskirts of the Seven Alliance in just a few minutes.

After leaving the previous group of buildings, we arrived at the headquarters of a small sect that looked strange and crooked.

Here stand numerous coiled, snake-patterned beams and pillars, supporting the long, winding pavilion. The thin tiles on the white walls are stacked one on top of another, like layers of golden scales.

This is probably because the information from the Dharma Protectorate is difficult to penetrate into the innermost part of the Seven Sect Alliance—the evil cultivators that Xi Heng is targeting on this journey mostly live on the periphery of the Seven Sect Alliance.

That's why she decided to come directly instead of waiting for the Foundation Establishment cultivators to leave before making her move.

If you kill quickly enough, you can finish the job before the enemy can react.

After thinking for a moment, Xi Heng silently entered the small sect of snake cultivators.

The shadowy figure darted past the dozen or so cultivators sensed by divine sense and arrived at the central courtyard.

With each step, dust settled, and they arrived before the hall adorned with numerous snake patterns, unnoticed.

It seems to be a day off today; there is only one person inside the hall.

This person is sitting cross-legged in the hall, completely still.

The girl sensed the aura and figure of the person outside and confirmed that he was the one she needed to kill, so she slowly approached him.

Their footsteps trod silently across the wooden steps in front of the hall, then over the threshold, and into the hall.

Once you walk around the screen, you can see what the other person looks like.

The man was dressed in fine blue and yellow robes and wore a tall crown, but he was bowing his head toward the snake-patterned statue on the stone table in front of him, as if he were asleep and motionless.

It's unclear whether he's practicing his martial arts or simply resting.

Although the body is still, something is stirring on its surface—as if some reptile is crawling under the clothes.

Judging from its appearance, at least five reptiles were moving under its clothes or skin.

“After all, as a heretical cultivator, the appearance of his cultivation method is rather strange.” Xi Heng accepted this quite naturally.

She had previously read the information about this person and knew that he was raising snakes with the essence and blood of cultivators.

It is unknown what each of these snakes does, or what their power and effects are.

As the white-haired girl approached silently, she gently reached out her hand.

Black energy and resentful flames ignited in his palm, falling downwards and transforming into the shape of a fox.

Since wielding a sword will inevitably make a sound, it's better to act with illusory resentment.

Up to twenty meters away.

Xi Heng stopped in his tracks, letting the fox approach lightly.

It wasn't until the fire fox rapidly expanded due to the infusion of resentful fire, transforming into a blazing fiery beast head and opening its massive maw that the other side finally reacted—long snakes that had been slithering beneath its clothing suddenly emerged from its collar and sleeves, staring at the attacking fox head.

The long snake has five colors: blue, white, gold, red, and pink. Together they open their mouths and spew out five kinds of poisonous mist.

With a hiss, the colorful mist quickly dissipated into the air.

However, in the next instant, the ferocious maw of the vengeful fire fox, which had grown to its full size, closed its mouth and bit off its body from the waist, swallowing the futon below with it.

The intense heat of the Qingyan Gong took effect, causing the five long snakes to hiss incessantly.

For some reason, the middle-aged cultivator dressed in green and yellow robes remained motionless.

Even when torn apart by fire foxes and scorched by spiritual flames, it remained as still as a sculpture.

It wasn't until several seconds later, when his entire body was burned, his skin was charred and cracked, that he finally showed some reaction.

Suddenly, the man ripped open his skin—but what flowed from his skin was not blood, but a thick, transparent fluid.

Its inner body, like a newborn fetus, slipped and detached itself from the lower half of the fire fox's body, which had not yet been completely swallowed.

Its body, covered in slime, was thrown to the ground like a slug.

What the fire fox swallowed was merely the remains left behind after the other party shed its skin.

The image of the middle-aged man in the blue and yellow brocade robe faded, leaving behind a naked and emaciated young man.

He raised his head, and beneath his wet, long hair, two snake-like eyes stared at Xi Heng. He opened his mouth but didn't speak, only sticking out his forked tongue and making a hissing sound.

The talismanic characters engraved on its scales suddenly lit up and quickly surrounded its body, forming a protective spell.

Xi Heng drew his longsword upon seeing the object and muttered to himself, "This is... molting?"

Judging from its appearance, it already resembled a snake demon.

She had never heard of this heretical martial art before and found it novel.

"But no matter what the situation, as long as we kill him, that's all that matters."

Xi Heng held his longsword level, aiming it at the snake demon.

Volume 1: Chapter 213, Exorcising Demons and Defending the Righteous Path

Outside the Seven Alliance, a light snow was falling.

The fine snow covered the stone slabs on the ground and the roof tiles, leaving only a few outlines.

The eaves of this place are carved with snake images, all with their necks outstretched, mouths open towards the sky, and forked tongues sticking out.

Snowflakes dotted the scene, adorning these faded golden snake statues with a snowy white appearance.

The area outside the courtyard was relatively quiet. The Seven Sect Alliance was already sparsely populated, and people had no interest in appreciating the snow scenery. Most cultivators stayed in their residences to cultivate.

Only a handful of cultivators on patrol duty were still wandering around the edge of this Seven Sect Alliance area.

When Xi Heng arrived at this place, he had already used the illusion of the Spirit Locking Array to cover the area, so that the sounds inside could not be heard outside the courtyard, and the commotion would be covered up.

Just like the war at this moment, there is no need to worry about making noise.

The girl drew her sword and retreated from the main hall, her footsteps landing on the wet, snowy surface, stretching for several meters.

The next moment, the hall with many snake patterns engraved in front of them suddenly shook, and a monster four or five meters long, which was still changing its snake shape, emerged from behind the half-closed door.

The thick wooden door was broken into pieces and scattered on the ground.

The monster stretched out its skeletal limbs, crawled on the ground, and snaked its way towards them at a speed incomprehensible to ordinary people.

When it gets close, it relies not only on its limbs but also on the curling of its body, making its movements twisted and bizarre, which makes it difficult to judge.

The girl frowned slightly, focusing her sword intent firmly on the enemy.

Dozens of sword lights immediately appeared in the air, enveloping it like an interception net.

However, the power of the sword heart is no longer as obvious when facing Foundation Establishment cultivators as it is when facing martial artists.

Unable to stop its movements, it broke out in a cold sweat, facing death, and found it difficult to move.

When a Foundation Establishment cultivator faces a sword heart, their actions will only pause for a moment, experiencing the illusion of being slashed, before they quickly regain their senses and continue fighting.

This brief pause was only enough for Xi Heng to unleash dozens of sword energies in the air, enveloping it.

However, the enemy broke through the blockade as if the sword energy were nothing.

The eerie, sticky, twisted flesh crashed into the sword wound, only to tear open several five- or six-centimeter-deep gashes.

A clear, viscous liquid gathered at the wound site, causing it to heal rapidly.

This item can recover from sword energy damage in just two or three seconds.

“For enemies with strong recovery abilities, or those who can directly withstand this move… sword energy generated by mental power is not very useful,” Xi Heng thought to himself.

These battles after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage can also be used to recognize one's own strengths and weaknesses.
