What If I Can't Die?

223 Everything Has a Spirit. Cutting Paper to Become a Soldier

“What bad luck.”

Song Shi cursed in his heart. It was already very difficult for one person to kill these guys. If there were Nascent Soul cultivators, he basically had no chance. They could take turns to recover their Nomological powers.

If he continued fighting for too long, his secret might be exposed.

“Qing Yan, even Hong Luo is dead. Do you really think we’re here to deal with an ordinary person?”

Lu Bingxuan was not too angry. His words fully revealed Song Shi’s threat.

“What!”

A green flame figure in the distance exclaimed, “Hong Luo’s life-saving means can be said to be number one among our four Guardians. Are you joking?”

“You’ll know when you get here.”

Lu Bingxuan couldn’t be bothered to explain. When this guy fought with the Blood-Robed old ghost, he would understand his difficulties.

“Then I’m a little interested.”

His green eyes landed on Song Shi, and his gaze seemed to have warmth.

“He just killed an elder under your command.”

Lu Bingxuan added. He wanted to provoke Qing Yan to attack the Blood-Robed old ghost. He was secretly looking for opportunities to expose Song Shi’s flaws.

He had to kill this Blood-Robed old ghost!

“I’m not playing with you anymore.”

Song Shi realized that he would be trapped if he continued fighting, and Ragnarok had yet to complete Cooldown. It would be easier for him to be sealed in the Ghost Pit Array like before. He immediately turned around and left.

“Flowing Fire Spirit Arrow!”

Qing Yan shouted in a low voice. Song Shi sensed a beam of light flying towards him.

The speed of this light was unbelievably fast. Although it could not compare to the speed of light, it was actually difficult for him to dodge.

“Another arrow?”

Song Shi was shocked. His heart heated up and before he could feel any pain, his heart was pierced through. The scorching green flames melted a huge hole in his chest.

He turned around with great difficulty. A tall and slender middle-aged man with his hair tied up and holding a longbow appeared in front of him.

“Good shot!”

Qing Yan did not see the fear he had expected. He looked surprised. “There’s really a problem with him. How can he be so calm?”

“The two of you, I’ll come and kill you in the future. Clean up first and wait.”

Song Shi grinned and his figure disappeared into thin air.

This time, he did not appear beside anyone else.

Lu Ke and the others, who were already on guard, were nervous for a moment. In the end, they did not see the Blood-Robed old ghost launch a sneak attack. They looked at each other.

“Where is he?”

“Could he have escaped?”

“That’s way too amazing. How can he escape in front of two Nascent Souls?”

Qing Yan looked at Lu Bingxuan. “What exactly happened? How could he escape our perception in an instant?”

“I didn’t see through it either.”

Lu Bingxuan sighed. “Before you attacked his vital points, I had already tried a few times. Every time, it seemed like I could kill him. In the end, I didn’t know if I hit his clone or if he really wouldn’t die…”

“There’s such a strange person…”

Qing Yan was stunned and looked curious. “If there’s a chance, I have to capture him and study him carefully.”

“The problem is, he’s not easy to catch.”

Lu Bingxuan’s head hurt. He could not help but think of the mysterious golden light emitted from the Blood-Robed old ghost’s body. There was a hint of greed in his eyes.

He yearned for that power.

In Silken City, in an ancient well in the backyard of the Song residence, it was already autumn and winter. The well water had dried up, and only the bottom still had water.

Suddenly, a person appeared out of thin air in the middle of the ancient well.

“Back home again!”

Song Shi muttered. In order to escape the pursuit of the two Nascent Souls, he simply chose an alternative resurrection point.

He patted his waist and took out a silver-white snake scale the size of a millstone.

This thing did not have any spirituality, but its material was exceptionally hard. It was not damaged at all even after colliding with the golden Spear several times.

“It’s a Numinous artifact-level material. If I find some materials of the same level and refine them a few times, there’s a high chance of them becoming Numinous artifacts. Unfortunately, it’s a Defense Dharma treasure. What’s the use of it for me?”

Song Shi shook his head with a look of disdain.

” I will sell it for money!”

He humphed. Although he had failed to kill Lu Bingxuan this time, he had obtained a Numinous artifacts material from him. His gains were not small.

The most important thing was he finally killed the old woman, his enemy!

At the thought of this, the spoils of war he obtained from killing the old woman appeared in his hand.

It was an emerald green ancient hairpin engraved with delicate patterns. It looked like a phoenix and should not have been refined by Hong Luo.

What was left was a storage ring. Song Shi used his thoughts to break through the Taboo Powers and took out a pile of special red paper. A portion of the red paper had already been cut, but it was incomplete.

A pair of scissors at the level of Dharma treasures and a few carving knives should have been used to cut the paper effigies. A few special talisman pens and a few jars of spiritual liquid should be the tools to make paper effigies.

When Song Shi saw this, he took out a few Jade Slips and a tattered manual from among the miscellaneous items. On the manual were the words “Paper Encyclopedia”. After flipping it open, it was indeed a variety of paper effigy manufacturing methods.

He had mastered some of the Dao of talismans, so it was not difficult for him to look at this thing. He realized that paper effigies were similar to talismans.

The difference was that the runes contained in the paper effigies were more complicated. They were a little like Dharma treasures that could fuse with thoughts and even souls. They were also rather similar to puppets, but they did not have the firm bodies of puppets.

The advantage of this thing was that the Cost of making it was far lower than Dharma treasures and puppets. It was slightly higher than talismans and could carry multiple runes.

“Interesting. The person who founded this path must be a craftsman.”

Song Shi clicked his tongue in wonder. Ordinary people would not be able to think of turning paper effigies, a combination of folk art and talismans, into a special weapon.

He continued to read and saw this sentence.

Everything had a spirit, and paper can be cut to form a weapon.

“What a bold saying. Is he saying that it’s as good as creating soldiers from beans?”

Song Shi smiled. Then, he found the way that the old woman had used to dodge his attacks with a paper effigy just now.

it was called Shifting Position!

It was not a paper clone, but a rune similar to a Teleportation Talisman was engraved on the paper effigy, achieving the effect of turning the paper effigy into a substitute.

He looked at it for a long time and finished browsing through the relevant content before sorting out the other things.

Hong Luo’s paper-cutting inheritance and hairpin Numinous artifacts were the most valuable. The rest were all conventional resources.

There were quite a lot of Spiritual Stones, about one hundred thousand Spiritual Stones, several bottles of pills, and the rest were just random ingredients, such as mirrors, shoes, clothes, makeup, identity tokens, and so on.

He found a bottle of Beauty Pills in the pill. Song Shi was enlightened. “No wonder the old woman looks so tender. This pill can lock one’s youthful appearance.”

Song Shi opened it. There were actually a few more inside. He poured them out and ate one. A special medicinal effect fused into his flesh, seemingly freezing it.

Song Shi touched his face and felt that nothing had changed. He continued to fiddle around and found a few exquisite clothes at the level of Dharma artifacts. There was even a long dress for Dharma treasures.

“Women are so particular.”

After Song Shi finished organizing his things, he patted his Heaven and Earth Pouch and stepped out of the ancient well.

The dilapidated scenery that he had expected did not appear. The manor he saw this time had actually been tidied up by someone. There were no spiderwebs that filled the sky, the dust that was everywhere was cleaned up, and the weeds were all cleared.

“Eh, is there someone living here again?”

Song Shi landed on the limestone floor curiously. With a sweep of his mind, he realized that the entire manor had been refurbished. There were living people walking and cleaning inside.

He frowned slightly. “Won’t the new owners find it unlucky to stay here?”The sourc𝗲 of this content nov(𝒆l)bi((n))
