Chapter 328 – Can You Still Form Hand Seals Without Hands?

Yuan initially thought these three so-called Immortal Masters were just imposters, human traffickers, who were collecting a large amount of money from Molai Village under the guise of accepting disciples!

Who would have thought that these three guys, who looked the part, actually had some real skill!

But judging by their appearance, they don’t seem like powerful individuals, actually resorting to such crude methods for Acquisition.

“Kaka ka~”

Bone Armor was generated, and a set of imposing bone armor quickly enveloped Su Hao, his physique instantly growing to nearly two meters tall. In his left and right hands, he generated a Sharp Long Blade, one long and one short.

Immediately after, dense Rune patterns crawled out from his chest, quickly spreading across his entire body and climbing onto the bone blades along his arms.

‘Level Two-Hardness’ ‘Level Two-Deflection’ ‘Level Two-Barrier’ ‘Level Two-Sharpness’ ‘Level Two-Penetration’ ‘Level Two-Lightning’…

‘Spatial Barrier’ ‘Semi-Teleportation’!

The Core Rune was activated, and a comprehensive Spatial Barrier enveloped his surroundings, ready to activate at any moment.

Su Hao thought to himself, “It’s stable now. I’ll go meet them and test their depth!”

With that said, Su Hao’s Radar Perception locked onto the location of the middle-aged Immortal Master, activated the ‘Negative Space Module’ pack, and Teleported!

The next moment, Su Hao vanished from his original spot and reappeared behind the Immortal Master.

He thrust out with his blade!

Poof!

The bone blade penetrated the middle-aged Immortal Master’s body with ease, as if piercing tofu.

‘Bone Spikes’!

“Chichichi!”

A large number of sharp Bone Spikes grew from Su Hao’s Long Blade, erupting from the middle-aged Immortal Master’s body in all directions, instantly turning him into a hedgehog-like figure.

The middle-aged Immortal Master only felt a slight disturbance behind him. Before he could react, a chilling sensation entered his body, then spread throughout and burst out of him.

When he tried to turn his head to see what was happening, he found he could no longer move!

“What?” The middle-aged Immortal Master’s body stiffened. He caught a glimpse of his son and daughter staring at him in horror, and behind him.

When a person suffers severe trauma, they don’t feel pain; that was exactly the case for the middle-aged Immortal Master.

The middle-aged Immortal Master looked down at his body. In the dim lantern light, he finally saw that his body was covered in bloody Bone Spikes that had somehow grown there!

“What’s going on? Could it be that I’ve awakened a bloodline power?” His thoughts raced, and he felt his strength rapidly draining. He could no longer stand steady and slowly toppled over.

The young man and woman reacted, forming hand seals and preparing to cast spells.

Su Hao flung his left hand, and the sub-knife in his hand shot out. With a dull thud, the sub-knife instantly pierced the Young Man’s head. The immense force caused the man’s body to fall backward. Without even a grunt, he collapsed and died.

Level Two-Lightning!

Crack!

A bright light flashed in the dark night, and the Young Woman’s body convulsed as she fell. Su Hao released the bone knife in his right hand, casually generated a Bone Spike, took two steps forward, and thrust it into the woman’s body, activating ‘Bone Spikes’!

Puchi puchi puchi!

More blood-soaked Bone Spikes burst out of her body, pinning her in place.

The next moment, Su Hao released his grip on the Bone Spikes and his figure instantly vanished from the area, teleporting a hundred meters away.

Less than three seconds in total!

Su Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief: “It went smoothly enough. It’s my first time dealing with a Cultivator, I was almost scared to death!”

This just goes to show how terrifying the title ‘Cultivator’ truly is.

The reason he didn’t kill them outright was that Su Hao intended to keep them alive for questioning. If things went smoothly, he could obtain information about the Cultivation world tonight.

However, for safety’s sake, Su Hao decided not to interrogate them immediately. He would wait until he was sure of his safety.

After using Teleportation to change positions a few more times, Su Hao hid behind a low bush and observed the two Immortal Masters, who were now impaled like hedgehogs by his Bone Spikes from the inside out.

Su Hao thought: “Let’s see how they get rid of my Bone Spikes first!”

Su Hao had deliberately avoided vital areas with his Bone Spikes. According to his calculations, the two wouldn’t die anytime soon.

Then Su Hao waited, and waited for ten minutes.

Little did Su Hao know, the two Immortal Masters who couldn’t move were filled with despair!

“What in the world happened? Was I attacked? Who attacked me? Why? Where is the enemy? What are these Bone Spikes… It hurts so much!”

As the woman gradually recovered from the Lightning paralysis, she convulsed in pain, tears and snot streaming down her face. She cried out to her father for help: “Father… help me, it hurts so much! I feel like I’m going to die!”

The middle-aged Immortal Master was already struggling to save himself, how could he possibly pay attention to her?

He waited for a long time, and seeing no enemy around, he endured the pain all over his body, concentrated his attention, and with difficulty formed a hand seal with his right hand. Soon, a twisted Blood-Colored Ribbon emerged from his collar and wrapped around the Bone Spikes on his body.

The Bone Spikes, deprived of Su Hao’s Blood Qi, gradually dissolved under the corrosion of the Blood-Colored Ribbons. However, the dissolution speed was too slow!

The middle-aged Immortal Master glanced at the woman who called him ‘Father’, a fierce glint in his eyes. The Blood-Colored Ribbons rose from his own body and wrapped around the woman beside him.

He thought with regret: “Just a little more. If I could absorb Blood Spirit two more times, their blood pythons could transform, and I would definitely break through to the fourth level of Catalyst Qi! Now I’ll just have to make do!”

If he didn’t quickly enhance his strength now, he might die here tonight.

The woman thought her father was going to save her, and her face lit up with joy. She said excitedly, “I knew Father was the best to me!”

Poof!

However, to the woman’s surprise, the ribbon was not there to save her, but instead pierced her heart and took her life!

The woman looked at the blood-colored ribbons penetrating her heart and looked at her father in disbelief, saying, “You… why…”

The middle-aged Immortal Master formed hand seals, and the woman’s face visibly withered, as if deprived of water and nutrients. In a moment, only a skeleton remained.

At this time, the blood-colored ribbons became more robust and moved to the young man’s corpse. They plunged into the heart area, and the man’s body quickly became shriveled and withered as well.

The blood-colored ribbons, now enormous, returned to the middle-aged Immortal Master, quickly corroding all the bone spikes on his body, and he regained his mobility.

The middle-aged Immortal Master endured the severe pain in his body, opened his mouth wide, and controlled the blood python to enter through his mouth. The wounds on his body quickly stopped bleeding.

He felt as if he had taken a powerful tonic, regaining his strength. He struggled to get up, observed his surroundings vigilantly, and finding nothing, he thought, “I need to leave this place quickly!”

He then staggered into the darkness, abandoning even the lanterns on the ground.

Su Hao watched the entire scene from a distance. What surprised him was that the middle-aged man had personally killed the woman, who seemed to have a close relationship with him, and absorbed her power.

But that was not important. Su Hao was focused on the power displayed by the Immortal Master. He thought to himself, “Are those blood-colored ribbons their power? The cultivation world is truly magical. What is the principle behind it?”

Su Hao’s thirst for knowledge was burning intensely.

All of this would undoubtedly be his!

Seeing the middle-aged Immortal Master staggering away, Su Hao pondered for a moment in place and came up with an idea.

Su Hao’s thought power moved, and he teleported to appear behind the middle-aged Immortal Master. He placed his palm on the man’s back, took a step forward, and applied a little force.

Bang!

The middle-aged Immortal Master felt a strong force hit his back, losing his balance and falling forward to the ground.

“??? Not again?” The middle-aged Immortal Master bit into the dirt, his heart filled with terror!

Sss!

Two slashes, and both his hands were severed and flew to the side.

The middle-aged Immortal Master stared at his severed hands and let out a piercing howl!

Su Hao’s movements didn’t stop. He used bone spikes to pin the middle-aged Immortal Master to the ground in various places. After securing him, he stepped back a few paces and muttered, “With his hands cut off, he shouldn’t be able to use spells anymore, right?”

Before Su Hao observed the middle-aged Immortal Master and the other two using their magic, they both made strange hand seals. To be safe, he decided to chop off their hands just in case.

Su Hao retreated to a blind spot where the middle-aged Immortal Master couldn’t see him and said indifferently, “Answer what I ask! If I’m satisfied, you’ll still be the glorious Immortal Master. If I’m not satisfied, I’ll find someone else to ask! Do you understand?”
