Lang Ya land spirit against Qin Bai Sheng

Fight in Reverend Insanity

Blessed Land Consolidation

A fight inside Lang Ya blessed land between the land spirit, newly changed into a hairy man and charging out to meet the attack, and Shadow Sect's Vice Envoy Qin Bai Sheng.

The land spirit does not fight the way narration says a land spirit fights. A land spirit represents the world and is the most crucial factor when Gu Immortals attack a blessed land, it would normally conceal itself and use the entire blessed land against the invaders, and catching or destroying it makes the blessed land far easier to take; this one, transformed into a hairy man’s appearance and bold where the previous land spirit was not, comes out of the cloud building and charges, undeterred by the fearsome strength Qin Bai Sheng displays. ch. 880

Soul suppression is the reason the fight goes the way it does. Qin Bai Sheng cultivates soul path primarily and metal path secondarily, and the immortal killer move he commonly uses works by setting his own soul’s foundation against an enemy’s, which is where its immense effect comes from. It has nothing to work on here: Lang Ya land spirit is an obsession formed together with heavenly power, a spirit neither real nor fake, with no physical body and no soul. Narration puts the failure as scolding, where Qin Bai Sheng can curse a man to death with words and the land spirit cannot understand a word of it, so the curses reach it as random noise. The move’s record stands beside that reading: He Lang Zi, transformed into a giant wolf, was defeated by it in one move in Luo Po Valley, and an inkman Gu Immortal was immobilised by it and beheaded with a metal path killer move. ch. 880

What the land spirit fights with is Lang Ya blessed land’s foundation. Countless Gu worms circle it and vanish and appear again, Immortal Gu and mortal Gu swapping out on its body like a change of clothes, and the immortal killer moves come from every path at once: golden spears shoot in from all directions like a dense forest, a blade path move slashes forward without obstacle, and ice path, space path and dark path moves come with them. Qin Bai Sheng defends himself behind a raised golden dragon pillar, and the moves land on him all the same: a time path move turns his hair white and shortens his lifespan, lightning starfires slip inside the pillar and burn his flesh where they touch, and a blood path smoke coils around his waist. The blessed land can pay for it: its foundation is abundant, it has many Immortal Gu stored up, Long Hair Ancestor did not lack immortal killer moves, and the Heavenly Essence Treasure Imperial Lotus has accumulated an untold amount of immortal essence, which is why Fang Yuan suspects the land spirit could keep the pace three days and three nights unceasingly and says he has never seen a land spirit with such battle strength and such a ruthless nature. ch. 880

Since he invaded Lang Ya blessed land this is the first time Qin Bai Sheng steps back and retreats, and the two go on retreating and advancing until they are tens of li away, with Hei Cheng, Fang Yuan and Mo Tan Sang watching from behind, dumbfounded. ch. 880

The two methods

Burning soul supreme gold is named the turning point of the battle. It is an extremely rare immortal killer move combining offense and defense, a dual soul path and metal path move that turns Qin Bai Sheng into a miniature sun filling the world with light and radiation, and although the land spirit is not afraid of soul burning, its attacks are all disrupted or resisted once the move is up, and the initiative Qin Bai Sheng takes back from that point he does not hand over again. ch. 881

The two methods are set against each other in narration’s own comparison. The land spirit’s moves are a magnificent sight and none of them work together, they disrupt each other and much of their strength is wasted, because it is not a Gu Immortal and its wisdom in fighting is very low, being an obsession fused with heavenly power; narration says that with Fang Yuan’s intelligence it would not have let the earlier advantage go. Qin Bai Sheng attacks with one-tenth of the land spirit’s frequency, each of his immortal killer moves coordinating with the others and setting layers of traps that leave the land spirit feeling deeply restrained, and his battle experience is rich and his methods ruthless and steady. ch. 881

Neither watching Gu Immortal joins. Fang Yuan holds Fixed Immortal Travel and can leave at any time, judges the risk of saving the land spirit too great against the opportunity, and decides to sit on the fence, while Mo Tan Sang, who would be trapped in the blessed land if the land spirit died, wants Fang Yuan dragged in with him. Both of them are susceptible to the soul suppression the land spirit is immune to. ch. 881

Outcome

A direct hit throws the land spirit into the cloud soil, which is soft enough that it sinks deep and leaves a huge pit, and a golden chain coils it there; it struggles until cracks appear on the chain, and the cracks come too late. Qin Bai Sheng retracts his aura, puts his palms together and raises one clenched fist above his head for the sword path immortal killer move five finger fist heart sword, which Fang Yuan names as Sword Immortal Bo Qing’s legendary move, widely renowned in Central Continent, and asks how a Northern Plains Gu Immortal can possess. Sword lights pierce the land spirit’s forehead, its right arm and its left arm, leaving head and both arms blurred and unclear, and narration states the damage as severe but not fatal: a blow like it would have killed Fang Yuan even as an immortal zombie, and the land spirit is a special existence with no weakness and no fatal point on its body. The fourth sword light is blocked by a figure that appears in front of the land spirit, and eight more land around the pit; all nine are hairy man Gu Immortals, the one who blocked being the only rank seven and the rest rank six, and Mo Tan Sang, who had charged out to attack from afar, stops in his tracks. Qin Bai Sheng opens his eyes, lowers his arms, dispels the move with a confident smile of victory, and says that from the start he had no intention of killing Lang Ya land spirit: what he wanted was for these hairy man Gu Immortals to appear. Fang Yuan frowns at that rather than at the rescue, and reads further from it, that the former land spirit would not have set such immense battle strength aside to ask an outsider like him for help however stupid it was, and that the enemy’s true goal may not have been Lang Ya blessed land in the first place. ch. 881
