Chapter 389: Chapter 270: This Time, They’ve Really Provoked Him

Corpse Transformation was different from Visceral Stone.

Compared to Immortality, Corpse Transformation was even harder to kill.

But that was only for ordinary Cultivators.

To Yang An, there was no difference between Corpse Transformation and Visceral Stone.

As long as he minced them to pieces in an instant, killing them completely, they had no chance to recover. The end result was always just a pile of rotten flesh.

A Demon Barrier flowed into Yang An’s Xian Shrine, and in the same instant, his figure vanished.

When he reappeared, he was holding a human head—it was Pu Sang, the one who had nearly been killed by De Yuan earlier.

’Hmph! Trying to escape?’

Pu Sang’s head tried to struggle, but with a slight squeeze from Yang An’s hand, the basketball-sized head instantly exploded into countless flecks of flesh. The flecks quickly turned black, becoming ash in a flash.

Yang An looked at his hand. He had just experimented and unexpectedly discovered an extremely subtle killing method.

By activating the Lighting Technique at the exact moment of turning someone into minced meat, he could burn them to ash before any flames even appeared, ensuring a complete kill.

This way, no one could detect that he had used the Lighting Technique.

’It seems more combat is truly necessary to grasp more techniques.’

After Pu Sang died, his Buddhist Shrine shattered, and the Demon Barrier headed for Yang An’s Xian Shrine.

Yang An returned to the main path and continued toward Grand View Cave Zen.

In a forgotten corner, a Gami, merely at the Primordial Feeding Realm, hid quietly in the shadows, ready to deliver a fatal blow to anyone who passed by.

Relying on a Technique that could conceal his aura, he had already used this method to successfully ambush and kill three other Gami of the same Cultivation Level. He was now waiting for his fourth prey.

Suddenly, the distinct sound of footsteps approached slowly from nearby.

In the Gami’s perception, the approaching person was only at the Early Stage of Primordial Feeding.

’How dare he walk around so brazenly? He must have a death wish.’

A bloodthirsty gleam appeared in the eyes of the Gami hiding in the dark. A bony spike slowly extended from its mouth, its surface covered with densely packed Buddhist Mantras.

The footsteps grew closer and closer, until they were less than five zhang away from the hiding Gami.

Die!

The Gami’s body shot out like a spring with a WHOOSH, rushing straight toward the figure that had appeared.

But when it saw the figure, a trace of shock and panic flashed in the Gami’s eyes. It was too late to stop its attack; the spike was about to pierce the figure’s Heart.

An arm covered in dense Buddhist Mantras—completely devoid of skin and flesh, dripping with blood—reached out.

The arm sank into the spike as if it were a pool of mud. At the same time, it plunged into the Gami’s body, entering through its mouth and emerging from its stomach.

SQUELCH!

Panic filled the Gami’s eyes, but in the blink of an eye, its life force vanished completely. It dissolved into a mass of flesh and blood, which was then absorbed by the figure.

Its Buddhist Shrine shattered, and a Demon Barrier immediately merged into the figure’s body.

The figure seemed to pause for a moment, as if processing something, then nonchalantly lifted its foot and walked away.

...

「A dozen breaths later.」

Five or six Gami were engaged in a chaotic brawl within a Zen Courtyard, trading blows in a fierce stalemate.

They were only at the Primordial Feeding Realm and did not possess Immortality. Thus, they held back with every attack, ready to flee at any moment if they couldn’t find an opportunity for a decisive kill.

But just then, the faint sound of footsteps approached, drawing closer. The battle was raging, however, so no one noticed the sound.

By the time they reacted, a body had appeared in their midst. It was covered in dense Buddhist Mantras, with no facial features and no skin or flesh.

In an instant, all the Gami who had been fighting collapsed to the ground.

Black palm prints had appeared on their bodies, with countless cracks spreading out from them—marks that only became visible at the moment of death.

Their eyes still held a look of confusion, as they clearly hadn’t even realized what had happened. Their fallen bodies quickly dissolved into flesh and blood, merging into the mantra-covered form. All of their Demon Barriers followed suit.

The Buddhist Mantras on the body grew denser and more numerous.

At the same time, its Cultivation Level, originally only at the Primordial Feeding Realm, broke through to the Visceral Stone Realm in a matter of breaths.

Its aura changed. The body began to tremble. A pair of hands tore through the back of its head from the inside, and a face with its eyes tightly shut slowly emerged. Then, all movement ceased.

The body cracked its neck with a KAKA sound. Wearing the closed-eyed face on the back of its head, it continued on in another direction.

...

On the main path of Great Virtue Temple.

Yang An slowly walked over to a pile of charred ash. A dozen new Demon Barriers were absorbed into his Xian Shrine.

He had just run into another group of Monks. As it happened, they had all chosen to provoke him, so he had no choice but to grant their wish and send them to meet the Buddha they worshipped.

He was not far from Grand View Cave Zen now.

He had encountered quite a few people along the way.

There was a crazed group of Gami who had combined their power to use a water-gathering Technique, trapping and torturing a guardian.

But as Yang An passed by, a drop of water splashed onto his Monk’s Robe...

There were also over a dozen guardians fighting among themselves. They cautiously fled upon seeing Yang An. Unfortunately for them, the scorching heat of their breath was carried by the wind and brushed against the hem of his robe. Yang An’s expression immediately darkened...
