Chapter 107: Caught (1/2)
Jiang Li's nearly endless stamina displayed an obvious advantage here.
To him, constantly brandishing his fists all day and night was as easy as breathing. There was no actual loss.
In terms of stamina, even Senior Sister Liu Mulan, who was a level higher than him, was inferior to him.
When the sun went down at night, the Yang qi weakened and the Yin qi flourished.
Without the Yang qi's suppression, the countless ghouls lying on the ground started to get up.
The nose that had almost completely rotted sniffed, and all the evil beings looked at the living beings on the mountain.
How could a tree trunk that could not be chewed be as delicious as fresh human meat? Under the urging of their hunger, they attacked like a tide.
Some of the other disciples of the Demon Vanquishing Hall rode their artifacts and left. To them, who were only at the late-stage Qi Refinement realm, such a number of evil beings could easily crush them.
However, Jiang Li and Liu Mulan did not leave.
According to Senior Sister Mulan, slaying demons and devils was a cultivation method in itself. This was what she had been waiting for.
The reason why she brought Jiang Li out of the valley was to teach him how to cultivate. It was not to smash corpses like in the day.
It was precisely this kind of overwhelming corpse tide every night that was the cultivation opportunity they were waiting for.
The danger of these hungry ghouls was not high. Even if they stood still, it was hard to break through their defense. Therefore, although there were many of them, they did not need to stand back to back to defend.
The two of them separated, brandishing their fists like bulldozers as they began to push through the corpses.
At first, Senior Sister Liu Mulan was rather worried about Jiang Li. However, after observing for a long time from the side and noticing that Jiang Li could really take care of himself, she slowly relaxed.
Facing these sandbags that delivered themselves to their doorsteps, the feeling of training was indeed different. As long as one relaxed a little, there would be ghouls pouncing on them.
One such ghoul would slow a person down, impede their movements, and then more would stack.
A few, dozens, or hundreds of them would not give you any chance to catch your breath. If that happened, even Jiang Li would find it troublesome.
Therefore, he could not afford to make any mistakes when faced with the tide of corpses. He could only wave his fists and accelerate his body cultivation under the pressure.
Furthermore, the feeling of hitting a rock was different from hitting a 'person'.
There were countless moving sandbags for him to practice with. Jiang Li also discovered many small flaws in his original actions.
From the looks of it, these small flaws did not seem to matter much, but when it came to a life and death battle, perhaps a hair's breadth difference could decide victory or defeat.
Under Senior Sister Mulan's guidance, these flaws were quickly found and corrected.
As for the cultivation of the Ghost Wood Art, Jiang Li did not let it go. After all, in this world, Qi Refinement was the main path. He could not fall behind in this aspect.
However, he was different from others. For the sake of the pressure training of the corpse tide at night, he could only arrange the time to cultivate his Qi and continue listening to the sutra during the day.
With this cycle, time passed little by little.
...
Ten days later, the sword cultivator clone flew high in the sky like a shooting star and gradually slowed down. The flames on the flying sword's body extinguished as it slowly descended.
In the end, he could not stand his exhaustion and chose a valley that did not seem dangerous to land in.
The parallel mind clone could not benefit from the status buffs together with the main body. Although Tang Yan was at the Foundation Establishment realm, he was still a human.
After ten days of continuous flight, he could replenish his spiritual qi from time to time, so there was not much problem.
However, his physical and mental exhaustion were already quite severe. If he did not rest, his condition would worsen. If he met an enemy, he would fall into a very dangerous situation.
After landing in the valley, he casually waved Burning Rainbow and fiery sword qi flew out, splitting the grass and trees in the valley into pieces, almost causing a forest fire.
”Nothing jumped out here. It's safe.”
