Chapter 148: Half-Grown Ghost, Ancient Temple
Li Yanchu had entered this black-and-white realm and the yin-yang world with his physical body.
At this moment, his blood and qi surged violently. They broke past their former restraints and became overwhelmingly vigorous once more, so much so that it felt intimidating to behold.
With a single slash, he had obliterated all those phantoms, leaving the area completely still. The oppressive atmosphere dissipated somewhat as well.
For a long while, there was no further movement. Swish... swish... Only the sound of flowing water echoed in his ears.
At this time, Li Yanchu slowly sheathed the Jiaoslayer, then strode toward a wooden bridge in the distance, the only visible structure in this monochrome world.
The water around him was icy cold, piercing to the bone. After walking just a few dozen steps, he could already feel his blood and qi beginning to subside slightly. So he deliberately suppressed his aura, calming his breath and spirit.
There were mental techniques within Daoist cultivation to still the mind usually used to assist in meditation, but now he used it to restrain his overwhelming blood and qi. Otherwise, his body’s pure yang qi would be too strong, and no ordinary evil spirit would dare approach.
What he sought was the demonic remnant of Lady Qingyi, but how to locate it, Xu Lingsu hadn’t explained. Perhaps there were deeper secrets she hadn’t revealed.
However, Li Yanchu didn’t mind. Instead, he planned to lure out the lurking spirits and demons of this world, to see if he could follow the trail and track down the demonic residue directly. The wooden bridge had looked close, but in reality, it was much farther away.
Just then, Li Yanchu tapped his toe lightly, and a blast of internal force exploded beneath his foot. He skimmed across the water’s surface with ease.
Somewhat like the famed “Water Skimming” or “Swallow Crossing the River” styles of qinggong.
But with his current martial level, he didn’t need to train such techniques, he could already perform them instinctively and at a far faster speed.
