Lady Lin's First-ever Journey to Immortality
chapter-198

The jade stairs collapse in the desert and are soon covered by the sand. It was indeed holy and beautiful, but now the jade stairs become a pile of scattered jade.

The stars are glistening in the sky. Lin Luoran feels that the starry sky tonight is extremely beautiful. She doesn’t know if it is her illusion or it is the result of the jade stairs that existed a moment ago.

However, there is an urgent problem: to take back Baojia’s body.

The lava is rolling and the Fire-hoof Beast is roaring. The “superior” saintess finally gets angry. She has waited for so many years to build this road to the sky. As the jade stairs collapsed, she will have to wait for another thousand years to leave this place!

However, to the crazy Taoist, she doesn’t have another thousand years.

They are thinking about the same thing: to kill each other.

This is not a battle that Lin Luoran, a cultivator at the level of Laying Foundation, can engage in and she knows it. Now that she has known that this saintess was “Ba” before and she has known what the saintess can do with the lava, Lin Luoran can only hide like a thief, waiting to give a helping hand to the crazy Taoist and take Baojia’s body back!

There is lava everywhere… The crazy Taoist is still not fighting back. From time to time, he claps his hands, stamps his feet and talks nonsense.

Lin Luoran feels worried. She is not sure if has gone mad after all these years.

The Fire-hoof Beast is roaring. Finally, the crazy Taoist makes a movement in the lava. He throws the dirty rag out and binds the beast on the horn. Lin Luoran is surprised.

The sense of presence of that rag is very strong tonight. He has been using it all the time.

However, it is, after all, a dirty rag. Can it defeat the ancient Kui Cattle?

Lin Luoran is not the only one that questions the rag. The saintess is smiling in a scornful and cruel way. As the crazy Taoist is pinned down by Kui Cattle, the saintess takes the chance and pours lava on him.

The Kui Cattle is struggling but the rag is not broken. They are in a stalemate and the crazy Taoist has nowhere to hide. The lava is pouring from above and Lin Luoran is worried. She and Wen Guanjing can resist the lava for a while. As the crazy Taoist is at the level of Bearing Essence, he must be prepared.

Lava falls on the ground. The saintess is laughing and Lin Luoran feels worried. The crazy Taoist appears. He looks tired but he is fine. To Lin Luoran’s surprise, that Kui Cattle is still struggling — it is still bound by the rag.

With a sudden roar, it reveals its true self as it cannot accept being bound like this. Its body enlarges to the size of a building. Compared with the Kui Cattle, everyone present is like a small pile of dirt in front of a big mountain.

The rag is bound on its big horn and it becomes longer under strength. It seems that it will be torn apart soon… However, it is not broken. The scene is actually hilarious, but Lin Luoran cannot laugh right now.

Lin Luoran cannot calm down at the shock brought by the rag.

Finally, the saintess starts to face squarely at the rag.

It is extremely dirty and stinky, with no Reiki on it. This is the judgment made by the saintess at first glance. The problem is that, since it has bound the Kui Cattle, she cannot despise it.

The Kui Cattle is now revealing itself. The air that it breathes out is very hot. The drum made by its skin can transmit sound to hundreds of miles away and inspire the troop of the Yellow Emperor. Therefore, lava cannot hurt its skin. However, it is strange that a powerful beast cannot get rid of a rag.

This scene is so weird that no one, including Lin Luoran and the saintess herself, notices that there is no Reiki sparkling on the crazy Taoist when lava fells on him. However, he is still safe and sound in the rolling lava.

The red, hot lava is rolling. The stain on his blue robe is getting very conspicuous in the light. The crazy Taoist doesn’t look like a skilled cultivator at all.

He has the Kui Cattle in control. However, he gets mad suddenly — he takes the rag back and releases the Kui Cattle. It takes a moment before the beast knows that it is released. The Kui Cattle gets furious soon and it wants revenge.

Its only horn is shining and hard. As it is stabbing to the crazy Taoist, he raises his right hand with the rag again. This time, he is not binding it on anything. He makes a movement of lashing. The moment he raises the rag, the crazy Taoist doesn’t look crazy anymore. He becomes very serious and dignified. Lin Luoran even ignores his dirty robe.

“Bang —” The rag is lashing on the Kui Cattle.

Both of the Kui Battle and the saintess stop moving after the first lash. The Kui Cattle stops because it cannot move at all. The saintess stops because she finds this scene familiar.

“Bang— Bang—” The second lash comes. There is the sound of tearing from the rag. Even though it is still dirty and stinky, no one ever looks down at it anymore.

It is because that the Kui Cattle is shrinking at a visible speed after the third lash.

“Bang— Bang— Bang—”

The crazy Taoist lashes it several times and the Kui Cattle shrinks again and again. It is more than just becoming small. It seems that the energy of the Kui Cattle is taken away by the rag and it looks very weak and dejected right now.

Lin Luoran wants him to lash it more and completely kill this beast.

However, the saintess cries and her voice is very sharp,

“Lashing Whip… Why is it in a Qi-trainer’s hand? Who the hell are you?”

The crazy Taoist doesn’t answer her and he continues lashing. The Kui Cattle becomes even smaller and it is now as big as a rabbit in the underground world. It is not powerful at all.

Lin Luoran looks at the rag, jealously.

It has extreme power under the dirty appearance. Moreover, the saintess calls it “Lashing Whip”.

Why is she getting so nervous? Maybe she doesn’t want to underestimate the enemy, but this dirty rag is obviously much more powerful than that Bundling Rope of Li Xi’er.

At least Lin Luoran finds that the saintess has changed the expression on her face.

There is a solemn look apart from anger.

*********

The saintess with long hair is now floating in the sky. With rolling lava under her feet, desert and starry sky as a background, she looks like a real goddess coming from above.

This crazy Taoist lashes the Kui Cattle and makes it shrinking with this dirty “Lashing Whip”, but Lin Luoran is still suspicious about him. It seems that there is bluff in his actions.

After getting solemn, she saintess smiles, “You almost got me… I saw the Lashing Whip destroyed in person. How can it ends up in your hands?”

She is sure about this. It seems that the Kui Cattle has slept for a long time and that’s why it is not powerful enough. The celestial phenomena haven’t changed yet. If she kills this Taoist, she may still have a second chance to rebuild the stairs.

The crazy Taoist laughs, “Does it matter whether it is a real one or not? It is still enough to lash you fake saintess!”

Lashing the fake saintess with Lashing Whip?

Lin Luoran applauds in her mind. She is just a cultivator, but now she is inspired.

If this is a fake saintess, why can’t she go and fight her? Lin Luoran puts the cyan fox and Wen Guanjing at a safe hill far away and joins the fight on her flying sword.

The saintess moves her eyebrows. She looks just like Baojia at that moment.

“Actually I am curious. How can you get so brave when you are so weak…” Speaking this, the saintess attacks Lin Luoran with spirit power. Although Lin Luoran is prepared, she still hurts so much that she almost falls from the flying sword.

She looks pale, but she says, “Get out of my friend’s body or this fight between you and I will not stop until death.”

“Until death” sounds very serious. She finally turns to Lin Luoran and faces squarely at her. The saintess thinks that with Lin Luoran’s ability, her spirit power is good enough. It is a pity that she doesn’t know how to use it properly.

That flying sword is good and it should be a product of a highly-skilled Qi-trainer. The saintess has to admit that although these people are rabbles from a poor planet, the cultivation culture of Huaxia was terrifying.

Fortunately, it has all been ruined… This female cultivator here is not powerful at all. Although she has a good weapon, she cannot make full use of it. What scares the saintess most is the “Lashing Whip” of the crazy Taoist.

No one knows better than her how powerful the real Lashing Whip is. It is more powerful against someone like her. Fortunately, that one of the crazy Taoist is fake!

What the hell? Why is lava not hurting him?

The saintess realizes that the crazy Taoist is safe and sound. Something bad occurs to her.

Suddenly, Lin Luoran casts the “Auspicious Snow” again. Wherever the Sword of Bright is, white snow arrives with it. Snow and lava collides and the annoying hotness disappears. Snow falls. The saintess is contemptuous of Lin Luoran’s power, but her body cannot take this attack.

Seeing this lethal white sword, the saintess mocks at it. These cultivators from the earth are always hypocritical. On one hand, she says this body belongs to a dear friend and she has to take it back; on the other hand, she attacks this body with no mercy…

The saintess smiles. She stops in the air and does not avoid the attack at all. She can just give up this body and it is not a big deal.

The sword is cold. Lin Luoran moves her hand and doesn’t hurt her. The Sword of Bright sweeps next to her face, putting snowflakes on her eyebrows.

You can’t do this, can you?

The saintess moves her fingers. If you become soft in a fight, you can only lose the fight and die!

Her fingers are like hooks. She wants to tear Lin Luoran apart with the power of her fingers… Suddenly a rag flies towards her and lashes on her back. The saintess staggers and almost falls into the lava.

In a rush, she sees the smile on the female Qi-trainer’s face. That lash almost whips her out of this body — it is the real Lashing Whip!

The saintess suspects that this is a well-organized trap. However, the crazy Taoist doesn’t care about her at all and he lashes again,

“Lash you fake saintess with this Lashing Whip. This is what I have been talking about!”
