Banshee Family Training Record

As she spoke, she leaped forward, simultaneously pulling out the white soul banner with ghost face patterns from her storage bag. She waved it forward and chanted, "Soul falls into the Nine Netherworlds!"

Immediately, a grotesque, dark purple vine shot out from the soul banner, coiling around Yun Chu'an's body. The vine was covered with countless grotesque and twisted human faces; some wept, some wailed, some were angry, some cursed, and some were stretched, flattened, and distorted beyond recognition, a truly horrifying sight!

This was the same move You Wensi used to ambush the Qin ambassador that day. Yun Chu'an refused to fall for it, dodged backward, and with a wave of his Guan Dao, summoned thousands of thunderbolts, forcing him back.

With the soul banner in her left hand and her right hand forming hand seals while chanting incantations, You Wensi multitasked, simultaneously controlling the zombies to pounce and self-destruct, and using the vengeful vines to bind Yun Chu'an's body.

However, as a result, she could no longer pull at her tattered clothes with her hands. As she sped through the air at a speed of 100 meters per second, the damaged parts of her protective armor were torn and damaged even more, almost falling off her body.

Left with no other choice, she had to use her armpits to hold the fabric of her clothes together, barely managing to keep the tattered garment from falling completely off her body. Her ample breasts, trembling precariously beneath the tattered fabric, were ultimately only exposed from one side, not fully revealed to Yun Chu'an's view.

This state made You Wensi feel ashamed, even almost indignant, but with such effort, she also achieved remarkable results!

The zombies' self-destruction and the vines' binding were both costs Yun Chu'an couldn't afford. He could only retreat continuously, again and again, to avoid falling into You Wensi's control and having no chance to turn the tide.

However, he was only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, while You Wensi had fallen from the late Golden Core stage. Even though her strength was not as great as before, her reaction and experience still far surpassed those of a cultivator of his level.

She repeatedly anticipated Yun Chu'an's dodging routes and lashed out with vines in advance, forcing him to either change his retreat direction halfway or accelerate to dodge.

After several such incidents, she appeared to be walking with ease and confidence, while Yun Chuan's spiritual energy had been largely depleted!

So much so that they couldn't keep up with You Wensi's movements—

Snapped--

Finally, at a moment when his spiritual energy supply was insufficient, the vines, filled with the power of vengeful spirits, lashed at his shoulder!

"Uh--"

With an involuntary cry of pain, his clothes were torn open, revealing the skin on his shoulder. However, unlike a normal person who had been beaten, there wasn't a bright red welt; instead, it was gradually turning black, as if it were rotting, and it was still spreading!

The excruciating pain started from the skin and seeped into his bones. For a moment, his entire arm trembled with pain, and he could barely hold the guandao in his hand.

On the other side, You Wensi saw his reactions and watched him retreat repeatedly. A mocking smile appeared on her face: "This is a magic weapon I prepared for enemies in the Golden Core stage. It is often not even needed. But you, a mere Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, cannot even withstand a single attack from it!"

"You laughable crawler! You've never realized just how vast the gap is between us!"

She mocked, her excitement growing, and charged forward in pursuit, directing her zombies to flank Yun Chu'an's retreat from both sides.

At this moment, the latter felt somewhat disappointed. He turned his head to look at the wound on his shoulder, then sensed the almost empty spiritual energy in his body, and sighed softly.

Even if I do this much, with my own strength, am I still unable to deal with You Wensi on my own?

That's true. After all, she was a powerful cultivator who had fallen from the late stage of the Golden Core realm. Even though her cultivation level was no longer as high as that of a normal Golden Core cultivator, she still had far too many ways to restrain the latter.

Relying solely on oneself is indeed a bit presumptuous.

Fortunately, I still have a backup plan.

That was a backup plan that I hadn't planned to use, but had no other choice.

Thinking this, he took out a pill from his storage bag.

Across from him, You Wensi, who was rushing towards them, saw his movements, her pupils suddenly contracted sharply, and she cried out in disbelief, "The Yinming Corpse Pill?! Why is it in your hands?!"

The Yinming Corpse Pill is the most core and precious treasure in the tomb of Marquis Qin Hai. It contains boundless Yin energy and can elevate a zombie to the Nascent Soul stage.

After discussion, the four members of the Corpse-Driving Sect unanimously agreed that it would be most appropriate to give this treasure to Qi Qiao. Although Qi Qiao was worried that her mind would be affected by the negative emotions contained within and refused to take it on the spot, You Wensi still gave her the pill and instructed her to find an opportunity to take it.

Theoretically, no one else should know about this except the five of them. But now, the pill that she cherished and was only willing to give to Qi Qiao has actually appeared in Yun Chu'an's hands!

And at such a crucial moment!

You Wensi looked at her in disbelief, while Yun Chuan simply glanced at her and asked, "What's wrong? Qi Qiao gave it to me."

He responded casually, then opened his mouth and swallowed the pill.

You Wensi watched with an almost desperate gaze as he devoured this priceless treasure, one that even he could only dream of. He was a living person, unable to utilize the true essence within the corpse pill; he could only consume it as a powerful tonic, an act that was nothing short of a waste!

"Despicable! Shameless!"

She cursed, staring at Yun Chu'an, her voice hoarse with rage: "You stole Qi Qiao's opportunity and tricked her into giving you this treasure, you shameless scoundrel, you deserve to die a horrible death!"

She cursed and lashed out with her vines. But no matter how much she cursed, Yun Chu'an was too lazy to listen. The moment he swallowed the Yinming Corpse Pill, boundless spiritual power suddenly surged from his body, instantly making him feel icy cold all over. His skin turned as pale as a living dead, and his heart almost stopped beating, as if he was about to die on the spot!

"Uh--"

But then, a roar came from his throat. As his heart stopped beating, all the extreme yin energy instantly reversed and turned into an incomparably blazing yang energy, making his body shine with golden light in the blink of an eye. Terrifying high temperatures rose in the canyon, like a burning sea of ​​fire!

You Wensi's expression suddenly changed.

Extreme yin gives rise to extreme yang!

It's another legendary miracle, another incredible feat!

In reality, the miracle of crossing the extreme yin and reaching the extreme yang is not so easy. The vast majority of people cannot persist until the moment of extreme yin and will be deprived of their lives and die on the spot.

Even those who have succeeded once before have absolutely no confidence that they can do it a second time.

What You Wensi told him was just an excuse to deceive him. Her Corpse-Raising Valley could not reach the state of "extreme yin" at all. It could only erode his life force in the cold and yin, making him weak and powerless, and in the end, he could only be manipulated by her.

But now, at this moment, with the help of the Yinming Corpse Pill, he has achieved the state of extreme Yin, and he has once again persevered through this hurdle, crossed the realm of Yin cold and deathly silence, and then reversed everything, giving birth to a blazing sun!

"you--!"

Shock filled You Wensi's chest. For a moment, she didn't even dare to look directly at the intense light emanating from Yun Chu'an, and could only retreat temporarily, avoiding his most powerful edge: "So this is the Heavenly Spiritual Root..."

Chapter 419 Defeating the Mother-in-Law (A long chapter of 7,000 words)

You Wensi dared not confront him head-on at this moment, when he was at his strongest. At the same time, Yun Chuan did not take the opportunity to pursue him, because at this moment, endless negative emotions were assaulting his mind, trying to turn him into a monster whose mind was filled with nothing but killing and violence.

His eyes were bloodshot, and the spiritual energy within his body was almost out of his control. He wanted to push his flesh and blood to the limit, to kill all living beings and destroy all matter around him, until he exhausted his spiritual energy and burned away all the life force within him, turning into a pile of bones.

After all, the Yinming Corpse Pill, even though its medicinal power is extraordinary, is still prepared for zombies rather than living people. Just like heavy metal salts used in industry, it should never be used on humans. His rash ingestion of it is almost tantamount to courting death.

If he didn't have the "Divine Firmament Thunder Control True Technique"!

"Well--!"

In a state of extreme excitement, Yun Chu'an raised his head, his eyes already bloodshot, staring at You Wensi in front of him. His hair stood on end, pointing angrily to the sky, and his body was flashing with dazzling golden lightning, making him look like a superhero from mythology.

He activated the incantation of the "Heart Like a Knife" technique, barely managing to regain his clear mind from the boiling, boundless killing intent and evil energy of the Yinming Corpse Pill, allowing his spiritual power to return to normal. Then he lunged forward, unleashing endless lightning bolts!

"go--!"

You Wensi quickly retreated, shouting as many zombies pounced forward, intending to block his path with their self-destruction.

At this moment, Yun Chuan no longer needed to worry about the consumption of his spiritual power. Regardless of the possibility that his spiritual power would be exhausted in the blink of an eye, he swept his halberd, and instantly endless golden lightning fell from the sky like raindrops, striking the zombies!

He actually took the initiative and used his own strength to clear the way ahead!

The golden lightning bolts struck the earth, but ninety-nine percent of them missed their mark, shattering the surrounding rocks and turning the earth scorched black, completely failing to achieve any effect.

But that remaining one percent, if it hits any of these zombies that are used for self-destruction, will immediately reduce them to ashes without leaving a trace.

"what?!"

You Wensi's beautiful eyes widened. Even though she had overestimated Yun Chuan's strength as much as possible, at this moment she felt that she had still underestimated his power.

This level of power, in terms of sheer quantity, is comparable to that of a true Golden Core cultivator.

This guy actually managed to do that?!

You Wensi felt fear, and at this moment, a sense of hesitation arose in her heart.

Is continuing to fight him here really a good choice?

What are my chances of winning? Is it really worth the risk?

She didn't know, but as her gaze swept across the Corpse-Raising Valley ahead, seeing its devastated state, a place unlikely to be restored to its former glory for decades, her heart bled. She then steeled her resolve.

I have nowhere to retreat. The Valley of Nourishing Corpses is gone. If this Heavenly Spiritual Root also escapes, then we, the last loyal subjects of the Corpse Driving Sect, will truly be without hope and doomed forever!

The decline in their cultivation also led to a reduction in their lifespan; they didn't have much time left!

Fight to the death, fight him to the death, and if you win, you'll obtain the Heavenly Spiritual Root, and everything can still be salvaged!

I've survived so many desperate moments, and I'm sure I can do it this time too!

Bloodshot veins appeared in You Wensi's eyes; she was prepared to fight him to the death. She had already lost too much in this battle; she couldn't afford to lose anymore, and she had nowhere left to retreat!

"I will win!"

She murmured a phrase, held the soul banner in her hand, and summoned thousands of evil spirits to rush forward with her.

Ahead, Yun Chu'an held his swords in both hands, silently chanting an incantation, and unleashed his ultimate technique, the Dragon Clan's peerless secret art, Three Thousand Spring Suns!

His soul and body were also on the verge of their limits. The negative emotions of Yin Sha drove him almost insane, and the excessive Gang Yang spiritual power made every muscle in his body ache, as if a fire was burning his skin.

He had already begun to fight desperately, using his body which was on the verge of falling apart. However, at this moment, as he unleashed the Three Thousand Springs technique and was about to charge forward, he suddenly turned—

He strangely aimed at his upper left side, then suddenly dashed into the distance—

laugh--

The vengeful vines from the Ghostly Soul Banner were unleashed, but they missed him by a hair's breadth. Even though his body was in extreme pain, he did not rush forward to fight recklessly. Instead, he first turned around, went to the side, and then suddenly turned back at an acute angle!

To advance while retreating, to go straight while turning, at this moment he brought his Three Thousand Springs advantage to the limit, abruptly turning back, the blade carrying thousands of thunderbolts, slashing at the soul banner in You Wensi's hand!

"Varied?!"

You Wensi couldn't even utter a complete exclamation. As the blade, crackling with boundless golden divine lightning, fell, the white soul banner in her hand was instantly severed. The sealing structure on it was completely destroyed, and the countless vengeful spirits sealed within roared out, indiscriminately attacking the two people present!

Unfortunately, Yun Chu'an was protected by thousands of lightning bolts and was not afraid of the invasion of these vengeful spirits. You Wensi was able to use the spiritual power of these vengeful spirits with the help of the Soul Banner. Now that the seal was broken, she was caught off guard and had no way to deal with it!

She could only watch helplessly as these vengeful spirits rushed towards her, and then passively used her spiritual power to defend herself!

"Get out! Get out of here!"

She screamed and waved her hands, channeling her spiritual power to try to block the pale faces, but to little avail.

Fortunately, Yun Chu'an immediately swung his halberd again, and golden lightning struck down, instantly sweeping away the remaining vengeful spirits without leaving a trace.

Naturally, at this moment, You Wensi was also struck by lightning. Her cultivation technique was already suppressed by this golden lightning, and immediately the circulation of spiritual energy in her body became chaotic. Her whole body stiffened and she could not exert any strength. Her body swayed and then suddenly fell to the ground beside her, unable to even stand up.

In the end, she lost everything in this high-stakes gamble that risked her life!

Is that it... over?

At that moment, the woman's mind went blank, with only these two thoughts echoing in her mind, and she could think of nothing else.

She might still harbor a trace of regret, regretting that she shouldn't have been so arrogant and should have waited a few more months for her senior brothers and sisters to return before acting together, so that Yun Chu'an would have had no chance of retaliating.

Can……

For someone capable of single-handedly killing a Golden Core cultivator, murdering a young Foundation Establishment cultivator on her own turf was already like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

Who would have thought that he had such a hidden identity, and that his true strength was so formidable!

She regretted it, but it was all too late to undo the damage. Over there, golden lightning surged around Yun Chu'an. He gripped his Guan Dao, his arm trembling, and boundless killing intent brewed in his chest, compelling him to end this woman immediately!

Kill her! Kill her!

Tear her to pieces! Skin her alive! Chop her into mincemeat!

Make her pay for what she did, make her suffer the most horrific torture in the world as revenge!

An overwhelming stream of negative emotions surged into his mind, with sinister, wicked, and even insane thoughts rising one after another. This was the effect of the Yinming Corpse Pill, and also the original intention of the Corpse-Driving Sect—after all, the more ferocious the zombies, the more they would benefit!

So now, Yun Chuan could barely control his hand holding the knife. In You Wensi's desperate eyes, he was about to raise his knife and kill her!

No!

Suddenly, he clenched his fists. Looking at You Wensi lying on the ground, Qi Qiao's pitiful face flashed into his mind.

She was his first wife, and for more than two years she had been doing her best to help him, accompany him, and give him everything she thought was good, without ever asking him for anything in return.

Her only request to him was to let You Wensi go.

She asked me for a favor, and I promised her I would do my best...

If we kill You Wensi here, Qi Qiao will be heartbroken...

We can't kill her; we must spare her life...

However, for the sake of the future, we must...

She needs to be disposed of in a harmless manner!

He stared at You Wensi on the ground. At this moment, this woman, who was once high above and arrogant, was so pitiful that one glance at her would evoke pity.

Her once neatly coiled, jet-black hair was now scattered on the ground. The expensive and beautiful hair ornaments and hairpins that had bound her hair had been knocked off by the lightning and shattered into pieces, a pitiful sight.

Those beautiful eyes were now filled with terror and despair. Her charming face had lost all its former composure. Her crimson lips murmured, as if begging for mercy, or as if she were saying something else.

The confident air of control she once possessed had been shattered by him. The once elegant and noble Huai Shan family now displayed a pitiful expression, evoking both pity and...
