I Can Strengthen Infinitely

Chapter 506: Chapter 301: Divine Soldier Awakens Its Spirit

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Life and Death Ice Seal struck Jin Zihua’s body, and instantly the icy force surged into his body, rampaging through his meridians.

Jin Zihua’s face turned frosty, his skin beginning to turn snow-white and blue, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

"Cough!" He coughed, and immediately frost-white cold air drifted out from his mouth, showing just how thick the coldness inside him was.

At once, Jin Zihua wielded the Departure Fire Dragon Staff, grabbing it fiercely. The divine soldier’s fiery aura was absorbed into his body, using fire to warm the ice, completely dispelling the cold inside him.

Qin Yuesheng did not expect to defeat Jin Zihua, this old cunning priest, with the Life and Death Ice Seal alone. As soon as Jin Zihua grabbed the Departure Fire Dragon Staff, Qin Yuesheng quickly thrust the Purple Dragon Crystal Wood Spear, piercing Jin Zihua’s back.

The Purple Dragon Crystal Wood Spear, with a dragon horn as its head, is extremely sharp and unrivaled.

Jin Zihua had no chance to react and was impaled straight through by the long spear.

The purple crystal-like spearhead emerged from Jin Zihua’s chest, madly gushing his blood.

"Ugh!" Jin Zihua winced in pain. While this injury was not immediately fatal to him, if Qin Yuesheng hit him a few more times, he would indeed meet his end here today.

Unlike the Xuanyang Monarch’s incarnation, Jin Zihua’s current venture involved his own body; if he died, it would be the end for him.

He immediately turned around and slapped the spear handle, decisively forcing the spearhead out of his body. Even with a large hole in his chest, Jin Zihua intended to clutch his wound and quickly flee from this place.

As for the Divine Spirit, he couldn’t care less at the moment. No treasure is more important than his own life.

But Qin Yuesheng surely wouldn’t give him such an opportunity. In no time, he used the wondrous skill of Heaven and Earth and re-captured Jin Zihua.

In his desperation, Jin Zihua couldn’t bother with much else. Suddenly he was chanting some incantation and making some mystical gestures, his entire body emitting a faint glow, abruptly swelling, and finally bursting explosively. Among the blood and flesh, a dim human shadow wrapped around the Departure Fire Dragon Staff swiftly fled outward.

Using this momentum, he easily escaped the suction of Qin Yuesheng’s Heaven and Earth skill.

"Hmm?" Qin Yuesheng didn’t expect that Jin Zihua still had such a trick up his sleeve.

For a Taoist, their body is the shell, the soul is the core. As long as the soul remains unscathed, they can continue to survive. In a crisis, self-destructing the body to let the soul escape is the most desperate yet effective escape method.

Jin Zihua’s soul, carrying the Departure Fire Dragon Staff, quickly escaped Qin Yuesheng’s control. However, he completely overlooked that Qin Yuesheng was not alone this time.

Suddenly a beam of white light flew up from below, enveloping the area where Jin Zihua’s soul was with great breadth. Before Jin Zihua could react, the beam of white light directly expanded, transforming into a cage that trapped him within.

Jin Zihua was indifferent, wielding the Departure Fire Dragon Staff straight toward the edge of the cage.

Bam!

The Departure Fire Dragon Staff smoothly charged out of the cage, but Jin Zihua’s soul was not as lucky. It collided with what felt like a wall and couldn’t leave the cage. Instead, it even caused the Departure Fire Dragon Staff to detach from his soul, falling outside the cage.

Without anyone controlling it, the Departure Fire Dragon Staff immediately dropped straight to the ground, its red glow dissipating, returning to tranquility.

"Ah!" Jin Zihua constantly collided within the cage but couldn’t break out, only able to roar powerlessly and furiously.

He never imagined that even after self-destructing his body, he would still fail to escape and ended up captured once more.

Bai Ningxuan walked over, looking up at the cage in the air and laughed, "Trying to run, let’s see how far you can go."

Bai Ningxuan, the first Saintess of the White Lotus Saint Sect, was exceptionally skilled. The White Lotus Saint Sect, a Taoist tradition, had plenty of magic within the sect. The cage now was a spell specifically designed to restrain souls, called the ’Soul-Catching Cage.’ Once this cage appears, a soul trapped within can only sit and wait for capture, powerless to resist.

Picking up the Departure Fire Dragon Staff, Bai Ningxuan hefted it slightly, immediately feeling its substantial weight.

This is a divine weapon whose importance is self-evident. If it were given to Qin Yuesheng, he would surely be delighted. Thinking this, Bai Ningxuan tucked the Departure Fire Dragon Staff into the strap at her waist.

Witnessing this scene, Jin Zihua, suspended in mid-air, was furious, his eyes nearly bulging from their sockets.

Unfortunately, now he was just a wisp of a soul, utterly incapable of breaking through the confines of the Soul-Catching Cage, unable to mount any effective counterattack.

Bai Ningxuan waved a hand, and the Soul-Catching Cage began to contract. When it shrank to a size just slightly bigger than an average person, it stopped, returning to Bai Ningxuan’s side.

Seeing Bai Ningxuan up close, Jin Zihua attempted to curse, but Bai Ningxuan gave him no such chance. She directly produced a silver talisman and affixed it to Jin Zihua’s soul, rendering him silent and motionless.

...

Xuanyang Monarch was knocked to the ground by a strike from Qin Yuesheng, appearing somewhat overwhelmed. However, it was not a major issue. He flicked his hands, and the fiery blade pressure pressing upon him instantly dispersed. Xuanyang Monarch leaped up from the sea of fire, his eyes fixed intently on Qin Yuesheng not far away.

The embroidered pouch clasped in Qin Yuesheng’s hand seemed particularly conspicuous.
