Chapter 881

The land spirit’s rapid killer moves force even the strong Qin Bai Sheng only to defend. Qin Bai Sheng shouts for an end to it, then answers with the dual soul and metal path killer move burning soul supreme gold, combining offense and defense. Every one of the land spirit’s attacks is now disrupted or resisted. ^{ch. 881}

The land spirit’s showy moves do not coordinate, and the instant Qin Bai Sheng finds an opening, burning soul supreme gold turns the tide. He seizes the initiative and drives the land spirit into deepening retreat, though his attacks land only a tenth as often. The battle turns for good. ^{ch. 881}

Mo Tan Sang asks Fang Yuan what they should do, since the land spirit’s defeat looks certain. Fang Yuan does not answer. Land spirits resist Qin Bai Sheng’s soul suppression; Fang Yuan and Mo Tan Sang do not. ^{ch. 881}

In Fang Yuan’s previous life, Mo Tan Sang grew his inkman tribe on Ma Hong Yun’s rise. The land spirit could be a hundred times as absurd in wanting every inkman enslaved and still serve the inkmen better than the previous one, and Mo Tan Sang is tempted. But he fears Qin Bai Sheng too much to act alone. So he wants Fang Yuan dragged in with him. ^{ch. 881}

Fang Yuan refuses the risk: unlike Mo Tan Sang, trapped once the land spirit dies, he still holds Fixed Immortal Travel and can leave any time. He decides to sit on the fence and watch. ^{ch. 881}

Qin Bai Sheng’s attack sends the land spirit into the cloud soil, carving a huge pit. He tries to teleport, but a golden chain coils around him and he cannot break free. Qin Bai Sheng drifts above him and declares it over. He retracts his aura and shuts his eyes. Sensing something is wrong, Mo Tan Sang shouts that now is the best chance to save him, but Fang Yuan ignores him, shocked at the posture. ^{ch. 881}

Qin Bai Sheng’s right fist rises above his head while his left hand stays open at his chest, all emotion gone from his face. Mo Tan Sang cannot guess why, but knows this means a devastating blow. Sensing immense danger, the land spirit struggles, cracking the golden chains around him, but it is too late. ^{ch. 881}

Fang Yuan recognizes it: Sword Immortal Bo Qing’s legendary move, famous across Central Continent. He cannot understand how a Northern Plains Gu Immortal like Qin Bai Sheng could possess it, too afraid to intervene. Sword path immortal killer move, five finger fist heart sword. ^{ch. 881}

A sword light shoots from his raised fist at unbelievable speed. It pierces his forehead and freezes him like a statue. The blow would have killed even an immortal zombie, but the land spirit, having no fatal point, takes severe damage, his head blurring. A second sword light pierces his right arm, a third his left, both limbs fading amid his agony. ^{ch. 881}

Mo Tan Sang shouts to save him quickly, or they are finished once the land spirit dies. Fang Yuan stays still, forming a star cloud grindstone, ready to flee with Fixed Immortal Travel if the fight turns. A fourth sword light streaks out as Mo Tan Sang charges forward. A sharp clang sounds: a figure has blocked the fourth blow. ^{ch. 881}

Fang Yuan senses a new aura, proof Lang Ya still holds trump cards. Nine hairy man Gu Immortals in all shield the land spirit, one ranked seven and the rest rank six, the numbers now flipped. Hei Cheng looks stunned, Mo Tan Sang shows open joy, and Fang Yuan frowns. ^{ch. 881}

Qin Bai Sheng opens his eyes and dispels five finger fist heart sword with a confident smile. Drawing so many hairy man Gu Immortals out, he says, proves this really is Lang Ya land spirit, though wholly changed. He had never intended to kill the land spirit; what he wanted was to force these hairy man Gu Immortals out. Something is wrong, Fang Yuan senses. Even the old land spirit, however foolish, would never have left such strength unused to beg an outsider. Unless, Fang Yuan realizes, the enemy’s true target was never Lang Ya blessed land. ^{ch. 881}
