Immortal Skills - Chapter 824
824 Deadly Threads
Jiang Ming gathered his spiritual energy and placed his finger on the insect pattern.
The worm was surrounded by spiritual energy.
The worm went under Jiang Ming’s feet and went straight into the demon’s head.
The demon originally wanted to destroy the worm, but it could not touch the worm in front of it.
This worm was transparent and extremely fast.
Seeing the agility of this insect, Jiang Ming could not help but be amazed. Then, he praised Xia Chenjing in his heart.
“How do you have such a good tool? It works so well!”
Xia Chenjing was still recovering. When he heard Jiang Ming’s words, he smiled shyly.
“This is a tool I made myself. It’s good that you like it.”
Jiang Ming said to the demon, “Tell me who the mastermind behind all of this is.”
However, the demon was a little odd. It did not say anything at all. Its entire body was motionless like a hollow puppet.
Jiang Ming was confused when he saw the demon’s state.
Xia Chenjing walked over and saw the demon’s state as well. He could not help but scratch his head in surprise. He stared at the demon in a daze.
“Xia Chenjing, what do you think is wrong with this demon?”
Jiang Ming looked at Xia Chenjing and asked him.
Xia Chenjing came back to his senses and looked at Jiang Ming. “This demon is probably an empty shell. I think we should go in quickly.”
Jiang Ming felt that it made sense and nodded. He followed Xia Chenjing into the courtyard and took the demon away.
The demon was in despair. His shell had been sealed by the worm.
The worm did not give him a chance to seize the initiative and clung on tightly.
They passed through the coffins. There were some fine threads on the coffins. These lines were connected together and looked like they were made of ordinary thread.
Xia Chenjing scoffed and walked toward the thread.
However, Jiang Ming stopped Xia Chenjing and threw a stone over.
The stone was immediately cut into two by the threads. It was completely cut through, and there were some fine patterns on it.
Seeing that the stone was clearly divided, Xia Chenjing immediately panicked and took a big step back.
However, just as he was about to take another step back, he was stopped by Jiang Ming.
Xia Chenjing was a little desperate and immediately said, “This thread actually wants to take someone’s life.”
Jiang Ming took the initiative to hold Xia Chenjing’s arm and said seriously, “Follow me and you’ll be able to avoid these threads.”
As soon as Xia Chenjing understood what Jiang Ming said, he immediately said, “Ning Caichen, let’s go.”
Jiang Ming dodged those threads, but they suddenly moved on their own, blocking Jiang Ming and Xia Chenjing.
Xia Chenjing quickly dodged the threads and pulled Jiang Ming’s arm.
At the same time, the threads suddenly moved again, transforming into a huge lion.
The lion roared at Jiang Ming and Xia Chenjing. Jiang Ming and Xia Chenjing could tell that the lion was an illusion.
They split up and attacked the lion in front of them.
Jiang Ming released his spiritual energy and tied the lion up.
The lion struggled with all its might, trying to break free from this spiritual energy.
However, it could not break free.
The lion was instantly enraged.
It simply jumped at Jiang Ming, wanting to trample him to death.
However, Jiang Ming jumped away from the lion.
However, the lion was separated, and the threads inside transformed into a new animal.
This time, they transformed into a huge elk.
Jiang Ming almost burst out laughing.
Why did it transform into an elk?
How were elks aggressive?
The elk seemed to know what Jiang Ming was thinking. It roared at Jiang Ming and ran straight at him.
The moment the elk approached Jiang Ming, it immediately conjured illusions of many people who were as tall as Jiang Ming.
These people gathered together and finally rushed toward Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming simply took out the long sword that he had brought out before and cut these people in half with one slash.
The threads were also cut off.
In order to prevent these threads from coming back to life, Jiang Ming opened his hand and took out spirit balls from his palm one after another.
These spirit balls attacked the broken threads. After they were attacked, the threads immediately fell to the ground like weeds.
Xia Chenjing was a little surprised that the issue was so easily solved.
Jiang Ming strode forward, but after walking through the entire room, he realized he and Xia Chenjing were the only ones there.
Xia Chenjing could not find the cultivation priest and said anxiously, “What kind of monster is that cultivation priest? Why is he gone?”
Jiang Ming walked to the album behind Xia Chenjing.
In the painting, there was a woman riding a horse. She was wearing a military uniform, and her eyes were sharp.
Jiang Ming was entranced.
The background of the Stone Mud Kingdom was drawn on it, and it was also the street where Jiang Ming fought against the puppets for the first time.
Seeing Jiang Ming staring at the painting in front of him, Xia Chenjing could not help but look at the painting as well.
The two of them stared deeply at the painting.
There was a lot of white fog in the painting. Jiang Ming and Xia Chenjing could not see the picture clearly. At the same time, they realized that something was wrong. They immediately turned and looked around.
Jiang Ming looked around and found that the environment was different. He said to Xia Chenjing, “Xia Chenjing, we seem to have entered a strange place.”
Xia Chenjing thought of the painting and was about to say something. Jiang Ming also thought of something and spoke first.
“Xia Chenjing, we’re in the painting.”
Jiang Ming immediately regretted it.
He should not have looked at this painting.
However, a woman in a military uniform appeared in front of them. The woman looked a little enthusiastic and said to Jiang Ming and Xia Chenjing, “Welcome. This is the world in the painting, and there are countless fine wines and delicacies here.”
As she spoke, she waved her hand. A few tables appeared in front of her, and a group of girls were dancing in the middle.
Besides Jiang Ming and Xia Chenjing, there were no other men there.
Jiang Ming was calm as he sized up the woman in front of him. He wanted to know what tricks this woman was up to, and he was also thinking about how to escape later.
Xia Chenjing was still thinking.
If the woman in front of them was a good person, she might let them out directly.
Thinking of this, he took a step forward and said with emotion and reason, “Miss, if you have any issues, we can talk it out. Now, I really want to know one thing. How can we get out?”
Unexpectedly, the woman snorted coldly and said, “What’s wrong? It wasn’t easy for you to come over to accompany me, and now you want to leave?”
When Xia Chenjing saw the woman being unreasonable, he was a little unhappy. He said to the woman, “We were originally attracted by the scene in the painting, but we didn’t expect to come inside the painting. You have to be responsible for us.”
