The immortal pill is reborn and possesses the body of the charming female shopkeeper.

Chapter 158 Setback

The moonlight emanating from the Lotus Treasure is all-pervasive; any cultivator who is caught in it and has no time to escape will be crushed and gradually succumb.

The cultivators of the Western Kingdom had never had any experience fighting against this thing. Once they were entangled, the strange and invading power not only severed their connection to this world, but also attacked their physical body and soul. Even the primordial spirits of the Nascent Soul and Body Integration realms were like being trapped in a quagmire, powerless and unable to escape.

"Grandmaster Yu, spare my life!"

Seeing that their Dao bodies, which had been cultivated for thousands of years and had finally reached the point of being able to roam freely between heaven and earth and possess an indestructible primordial spirit, were about to perish, and that the magic treasures they had unleashed were falling one after another like kites with broken strings, the despairing Nascent Soul and Integration stage experts regretted that they had been too careless in getting involved in this mess today. While their primordial spirits could still speak, they begged for mercy.

The moonlight was so bright that it swallowed their spiritual power like a swamp, and Yu Lishuang couldn't hear a thing.

She went all out and never intended to take any prisoners.

Moreover, the Western Kingdom cultivators behind Kui Qi were already caught in the crossfire.

Ten thousand years later, after undergoing two more heavenly tribulations, Kui Qi, who had ascended to the form of a dragon, possessed almost the abilities of a half-immortal. The power of this world was no longer what he needed to unleash his divine might.

The lotus treasure that allowed her to reside in the mortal realm from the celestial realm has been consumed over ten thousand years, greatly diminishing its celestial aura. It will probably still be somewhat difficult for her to deal with Kui Qi.

Yu Lishuang drew talismans in the air with both palms in front of her chest without stopping for a moment.

The clear moonlight, layered and heavy, enveloped Kui Qi, and under Yu Lishuang's control, gradually formed a giant light egg with flowing array seals.

As the radiance of the Lotus Treasure Moon faded, the light egg in front of Yu Lishuang became brighter and smaller, pressing down on Kui Qi within it.

Of the Western Kingdom cultivators who had fled to a distant place, only five or six remained. They stood hidden and watched in a sorry state, none of them daring to approach and challenge them again.

Seeing that the light egg trapped by Kui Qi was getting smaller and smaller, the cultivators felt that something was wrong and were ready to make a quick escape from this place at any time.

As for the disciples who remained here, they had no time to spare and only wanted to get as far away from the unpredictable Yu Lishuang as possible.

Yu Lishuang herself, however, felt no relief whatsoever. Sensing the changes in Kui Qi within the light egg, her hands, which were forming hand seals and drawing talismans, became even busier.

The light egg's seals flowed swiftly, like shooting stars, yet it still couldn't stop Kui Qi's punches and kicks from within. The light spots, fluctuating between light and dark, appeared more and more densely.

Yu Lishuang frowned slightly. Her physical body was nurtured by this world, which limited her too much. Therefore, she dared not advance any further after reaching the first level of Qi Refining. Although her primordial spirit contained powerful immortal energy, she dared not let it out even slightly, otherwise it would attract an unparalleled heavenly tribulation that would destroy her physical body. The immortal officials who monitored the lower realm would also be drawn by the scent and come to arrest and hold her primordial spirit accountable.

She has been in the mortal realm for over ten thousand years, relying entirely on the Lotus Treasure, a celestial treasure untouched by the mortal world.

Now, for the first time, she experienced the exhaustion of physical weakness.

There's no other reason than that Kui Qi, this golden dragon, is truly powerful. After ten thousand years of cultivation, his dragon body, which transcends heaven and earth and is self-sufficient, is evenly matched with the remaining immortal essence of Lian Bao.

The stalemate continued for several more moments, and the light sphere that trapped Kui Qi had dimmed to the point that it was almost entirely filled with undulating patches of light and shadow.

As Kui Qi's confidence grew, he fought with increasing ferocity. In his moments of heightened aggression, even the faint roar of a dragon could be heard through the sphere of light and transmitted to the outside world.

Upon hearing the strange noise and seeing the light sphere dim, Luo Sifan sensed something was wrong, his brows furrowing as he began to worry about Yu Lishuang.

Before he could even catch his breath, a loud tremor shook the ground, and Yu Lishuang's white dress flew off as she bounced back as if struck by a heavy blow.

Luo Sifan, quick-witted and agile, exclaimed in surprise and darted forward to catch Yu Lishuang, who had been flung away, around the waist.

Even with his sword body pushed to its limit, Luo Sifan still drifted back more than ten steps, leaving a footprint on the jade stone, before finally stopping, panting, and embracing Yu Lishuang.

"Li Shuang!"

Luo Sifan anxiously looked at Yu Lishuang, whose limbs were limp and who was silent with her head down. He lifted her face and was shocked again.

Her lips were pale and bluish-white, with a few streaks of blood still clinging to them. Yu Lishuang's long eyelashes were tightly closed, and she seemed to have fainted.

The sphere of light formed by the Lotus Treasure Immortal Charm suddenly increased in size by dozens of times.

The arrogant roar of the dragon broke through the air and resounded wildly across the peaks of Qunyu Mountain.

With a series of "pop, pop," the ball of light burst forth with several golden dragon claws, each ten feet long, their golden scales gleaming brilliantly.

As the dragon's claw swept across, the dim orb of light, as if torn from leather, withered and fell like tattered rags beneath its claw.

A ferocious dragon, hundreds of feet long and with golden scales, appeared before Fairy Peak, trampling the fragments of light spheres under its feet.

Kuiqi's golden claws hooked up the fragments of light spheres, then reached into the dragon's mouth and began to devour them.

The sound of dragon teeth grinding against objects was like the clash of refined metal, extremely jarring.

"You old hag! This treasure of yours is perfect for whetting your appetite!"

Judging from Kui Qi's reaction, the fragments of the light sphere clearly tasted quite good.

With a few scoops, Kui Qi had devoured all the fragments of the light sphere, let out a slight burp, lowered its dragon head, and fixed its still-satisfied, greedy dragon eyes on Yu Lishuang.

"Old hag, why do I feel you are even more delicious? Sure enough, having lived for ten thousand years, your physique must be extraordinary!"

Having tasted the sweetness of the immortal aura, Kui Qi, having savored it to the fullest, sensed the powerful immortal aura emanating from Yu Li Shuang's primordial spirit. His mouth watered, and he began to sketch dragon claws, becoming somewhat impatient.

A tiny creature suddenly appeared before the dragon's forehead and, without saying a word, lunged at Kui Qi's wide-open dragon eyes.

Kui Qi was so startled that he closed his eyes and flung the little one away with a muffled thud.

Luo Sifan anxiously held Yu Lishuang, his eyes clearly seeing that it was none other than Cai Feng'er.

Perhaps sensing Kui Qi's malice, Cai Feng'er was sent flying several feet away before stepping forward again.

Its shape was unpredictable, appearing and disappearing intermittently, and it bumped into Kui Qi's eyelids several times.

Kui Qi was so angry that he scratched with his dragon claws, making a fierce sound dozens of times, but still couldn't touch a single feather of Cai Feng'er. He roared in anger.

However, Cai Feng'er punched and kicked Kui Qi's eyelids several times, but to no avail; instead, she was repeatedly knocked away by the force of the blows.

Despite her deep concern for her master and knowing she was no match for him, Cai Feng'er resolutely faced the challenge head-on without any intention of retreating.

Kui Qi finally lost his temper. Enraged by this annoying little brat, his murderous aura surged. He arched his dragon neck, his dragon scales trembled, and he began to unleash his dragon breath.

With a single spray, nothing could survive within a hundred feet of Kui Qi.

Luo Sifan sensed danger, his heart tightened, and he roared:

"Caifeng'er! Get out of the way! Stop bothering me!"

Cai Feng'er was standing right in front of the dragon's mouth, and could see everything clearly. How could she not know the danger? Luo Sifan's attempts to dissuade her were no match for her determination, and she rushed forward again.

Luo Sifan's eyes welled up with tears, and he was furious. He was holding Yu Lishuang but could not move. He watched as the dragon's neck throbbed and Kui Qi grinned as he chased after Cai Feng'er.

I'm afraid that in an instant, Cai Feng'er will perish under the dragon's breath.

Next up is Yu Lishuang, who is in Luo Sifan's arms.

Luo Sifan sighed, too lazy to look anymore, and glanced back at Yu Lishuang's pale face.

For a moment, he didn't know whether he should abandon Yu Lishuang and run away.

He has a short sword given to him by Lu Gong to save his life, which is worth a try. Perhaps he can save his life when Kui Qi attacks.

But no matter what Yu Lishuang did, she couldn't get into the Mirage Pearl, and he was at a loss, not knowing what to do next.
