After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 185 Divine Ability Battle

Chapter 185: Divine Ability Duel

It is normal for Divine Abilities to have similarities.

But this is no longer just similarities. From the name to the effect, they are almost identical.

The only difference is that one has a whale behind it, while the other has darkness. In the darkness, there seems to be a haunting presence.

The two forces of attraction do not cancel each other out, but instead form a stronger suction. The water in the nameless lake rises rapidly, forming a water column under the pull from both sides.

The suction forces of both sides are evenly matched, and neither can suck away what is in the middle. However, the creatures in the water are unfortunate, being crushed into pieces and turning the water column red.

Wenren Li and Red Carp Monster King stand firm, resisting each other's Divine Ability suction.

The water column grows larger and gradually sweeps up the surrounding mud and sand. With the combined efforts of the two, a terrifying vortex is formed. The vortex grows larger and the commotion becomes more astonishing.

"You have the guts to continue using Divine Ability. Aren't you afraid of attracting attention?" Wenren Li knows how powerful Red Carp Monster King is and starts taunting.

In this situation, she definitely wouldn't dare to stop using her power first.

Whoever stops first loses.

It's not about losing the battle, but losing face.

Red Carp Monster King is not one to back down either and sneers, "I am a monster, and you are a ghost. Let them see who wins."

Indeed, compared to the Monster Race, the Ghost Clan is more likely to attract hatred.

Wenren Li is not a ghost, but the Divine Ability she is using does have a ghostly aura. She is also afraid that others might misinterpret it.

She knows she is human, but others insist on calling her a ghost. Isn't she being wrongly accused?

However, even though she is nervous, she cannot show it on her face.

Wenren Li smiles and says, "I can only manipulate the power of ghosts. Whether I am human or not, they can tell at a glance. As for you, your monstrous aura won't be able to hide."

"So what? Even if I am surrounded, I have a way to escape!" Even though the water is swirling, it actually isn't, but the momentum cannot be lost.

If they continue to stalemate like this, neither of them will have a good outcome.

Neither of them wants their actions to be discovered by others, but they also don't want to back down.

At this point, they can only resort to new tactics.

"Divine Ability: Whale Explosion!"

The whale shadow stops devouring and flies directly towards Wenren Li.

Wenren Li quickly stops using her Divine Ability and retreats.

She can tell that this move is dangerous and immediately dodges.

"Divine Ability: Ghost Transformation!"

Boom!

With a loud bang, the giant whale explodes.

This is actually the follow-up Divine Ability of the whale swallowing everything. The more it swallows, the greater the power of the explosion.

This time, it didn't swallow much, so the power was slightly weaker, but the damage is still considerable.

However, Wenren Li is not weak either. She understands the way the whale explosion works and directly uses ghost transformation.

Ghost transformation allows her body to become a ghost, specifically the Soul Assimilating Ghost. The Soul Assimilating Ghost has no physical body, only a spirit body. Therefore, physical attacks are ineffective against the spirit body, but damage targeting the spirit body is doubled.

The whale explosion is purely physical damage without any impact on the soul. Wenren Li withstands it with minimal consumption.

Now it's her turn to counterattack.

"Divine Ability: Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers!"

Wenren Li displays a Divine Ability controlled by humans. Red Carp Monster King is surprised and exclaims, "You also have three Divine Abilities!"

Most people only have one Divine Ability, and those with innate talent have an additional innate Divine Ability.

Having three or more Divine Abilities is considered extraordinary.

To comprehend a Divine Ability, one needs spiritual power, comprehension, and inspiration. All three are necessary.

It is already difficult enough to comprehend one Divine Ability, so spending more time to study additional Divine Abilities is unnecessary.

Moreover, cultivation does not stop at the Divine Ability Realm. There is still the Dao Integration Realm.

In this world, the Dao Integration Realm is not about integrating with the heavenly Dao, but with one's own Dao.

One's own Dao is nurtured from Divine Abilities, using Divine Abilities to cultivate the Dao seed, and finally merging with it.

Nurturing the Dao seed through Divine Abilities is already a very difficult task. Many people struggle their whole lives and still can't cultivate one.

Focusing all efforts on one Divine Ability is already challenging, let alone multiple Divine Abilities.

Therefore, cultivators usually only have one Divine Ability. Those with innate Divine Abilities may have two. The remaining Divine Abilities are rarely comprehended.

Red Carp Monster King having multiple Divine Abilities is purely luck, obtaining a rare opportunity. She thought she was already special, but she didn't expect Wenren Li to casually display three.

In fact, Wenren Li has more than just three.

Aside from the Innate Divine Ability of devouring ghosts, she has comprehended Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers and has also devoured six Ghost Sovereign powerhouses.

Each Ghost Sovereign powerhouse has at least one Divine Ability, and Wenren Li can use them as long as she is in the right mood.

Red Carp Monster King is extremely shocked. Faced with the wide-range destructive Divine Ability of Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers, she finally stops resisting.

"Your Divine Abilities are impressive. We will fight another day!" After saying that, Red Carp Monster King uses the Water Escape technique and disappears into the water.

Seeing this, Wenren Li also stops using her Divine Ability and quickly leaves the scene.

She has no intention of leaving Red Carp Monster King behind. During their fight, they have already tested each other's strength.

As Divine Ability experts, their strengths are not much different.

If there is no surefire way to win, there is no point in continuing the fight.

As for the Red Carp Monster King's possible disadvantage to Zhang Chi, there is no need to worry even more.

Doesn't this just give her an opportunity to come knocking?

Wenren Li is not the kind of woman who silently sacrifices behind the scenes. Her temperament is just like Zhang Chi's - she won't do anything without benefits.

Thinking that the Red Carp Monster King may attack Little Warehouse Mountain at any time, Wenren Li lurked nearby.

When the Red Carp Monster King is ready to make a move, she will appear and save Zhang Chi. Zhang Chi will owe her a great favor.

Now, Zhang Chi and Long Yan have returned to Little Warehouse Mountain unimpeded. After entering the mountain gate, Zhang Chi reaches out to Long Yan and says, "Give me all the talismans."

Long Yan hands over the one thousand talismans from today.

After going out and fighting, not selling a single talisman, Long Yan has already started selecting people to act as middlemen.

But Zhang Chi takes the talismans and still spreads them out, saying, "Give me the ones from before too!"

"What do you mean by 'before'?"

Long Yan is confused, with a bewildered expression. Zhang Chi sighs and says, "Judging from your appearance today, I guess the talismans from before weren't sold either?"

Long Yan thought she had fooled him today, but she didn't expect that Zhang Chi would expose her. If he wanted to expose her, he wouldn't give her a way out.

By saying it at the end, he first gives her hope, then delivers a fatal blow when she relaxes.

"Uh, how could that be? Today was just bad luck. Sister will definitely sell them for you another day."

Long Yan tries to defend herself, but her tone clearly shows some panic.

Zhang Chi helplessly says, "I understand your intentions, but even close brothers need to settle accounts. Sword Sect and I owe you too much. If we can't repay it, we won't be able to have an equal conversation."

"Why do you say that? Haven't we always been equal?"

Long Yan doesn't understand the deeper meaning behind Zhang Chi's words, and Zhang Chi doesn't want to explain it to her.

"You will understand in the future. Give them to me!"

Zhang Chi reaches out his hand, insisting on getting the talismans from before.

Seeing his determination, Long Yan knows she can't fool him anymore, so she takes out the talismans that Zhang Chi had asked her to sell before. There are nearly ten thousand of them accumulated.

Taking the thick stack of talismans, Zhang Chi puts them all into his storage ring and says, "I don't have that many spirit stones on me right now. I'll pay you back after selling these talismans."

"Whatever!"

Long Yan is unhappy, feeling that Zhang Chi is being too petty with her. It's as if he sees her as an outsider.

After saying that, she turns around and leaves with heavy steps, clearly angry.

Zhang Chi doesn't go after her, letting her cool down first. It won't be long before she calms down.

Zhang Chi returns to his residence with the talismans. Gu Youyou then says, "Today, there was a woman with a water spirit body who followed you all the way. It seems she has ill intentions."

"Oh? Can you tell which side she's from?"

Zhang Chi hasn't offended many people outside, so as long as he knows the characteristics, it's easy to identify the target.

Gu Youyou says, "At that time, I wasn't in control of the body, so I could only share your five senses. But I remember her aura. Tonight, I can go find her and bring her back."

"Why bring her back?"

Zhang Chi says in surprise.

"Of course, to help you cultivate. Your cultivation is already fast, but it can be faster. In twenty years, how strong you can become, you should strive to become as strong as possible."

Although Gu Youyou thinks ten years is enough, if it can be more secure, why not?

"But I can't just go after any other woman. How can I do that without any emotional foundation?"

Gu Youyou: "......"

You speak as if you and Tang Ruoling have an emotional foundation.

But soon, Gu Youyou also realizes and recalls the figure and appearance of the Red Carp Monster King. She answers, "That woman with the water spirit body has a good foundation."

Zhang Chi: "......"

What nonsense are you talking about?

A good foundation?

"Do you take me, Zhang Chi, for someone else?"

Zhang Chi angrily says, strongly condemning Gu Youyou's behavior of not trusting him.

"But since she has ill intentions towards us, no matter what, we should strike first, catch her off guard, and then figure out why she has ill intentions towards us.

We shouldn't start trouble easily, but we're not afraid of it either!"

Gu Youyou: "......"

Just admit that you're tempted or not!

Gu Youyou has become like a worm in Zhang Chi's stomach, understanding him very well.

The mark has been made, and tonight is the time to hunt!

At this moment, the Red Carp Monster King is unaware that the crisis is approaching. She is still planning to wreak havoc tonight.

The human realm is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. She has heard of it before. Today, encountering Wenren Li has taught her a lesson.

With her current strength, she is not yet powerful enough to be rampant in the human realm.

Fortunately, her target for tonight's attack is not a cultivator above Divine Ability. It's just a small sect, and they are even remnants of the Sword Sect. What abilities could they have?

She was able to destroy Sword Sect at its peak, let alone dealing with a remnant Sword Sect.

Tonight, she will take action and let Zhang Chi taste her power!
