Chapter 886: Chapter 886: The Immortal Who Plays God and Tricks Ghosts

"Beast, release me, or I will spill your blood right here and now!"

The ordinary potato, spinning in Li Qing’s hand, emitted an old voice.

Li Qing suddenly exerted more force on his grip, forcefully binding the potato and said in surprise, "This thing is a bit strange, it’s clearly just a potato, yet it can talk."

Zi Ling came closer to Li Qing. "Crack it open and have a look!"

Li Qing pointed to the small hole created by the explosion of the Soul-breaking Arrow and said, "Look, inside it’s clearly just a potato. Where is the voice coming from?"

As if to prove something to Li Qing, just as his words fell, the skin of the potato rippled like water waves, followed by the old voice once again, "Young thief, I advise you to be wise and not to bring trouble upon yourself. Release me immediately or I’ll ensure you’ll be splattered within five steps!"

Li Qing asked in amazement, "So you’re really a possessed potato, no, a potato that’s become a spirit?"

"You’re the one who’s possessed, your whole family is possessed. I am none other than the Potato Immortal, a true Mortal Immortal. Stow your ignorant brain, and those filthy claws too. Keep pinching and I, the Immortal, will start to get angry," the potato shouted indignantly.

Although the skin of the potato was rippling like water, Li Qing didn’t feel any change.

"Potato Immortal, Mortal Immortal, is it? Alright then, come on, let me see you get angry!" Li Qing said with a chuckle, suddenly increasing the force in his hand.

With a bang, the potato in Li Qing’s hand exploded into countless pieces.

Zi Ling bent down and rummaged through the pile of potato remains. "Potato Immortal, are you dead?"

"Foolish mortals, do you think my true form is confined to a mere potato?" The old voice resonated from another potato.

This time, though, the voice was wavering, and Li Qing couldn’t pinpoint which potato in the pile it was coming from.

Li Qing was now certain of one thing, however.

These potatoes were actually weapons.

And this so-called whatnot Immortal was likely just some Dao intent, with its real body probably not even present.

"Foolish mortals, you have succeeded in enraging me. Face the wrath of the Immortal!" The old voice roared, and all the surrounding potatoes started to buzz and tremble, then rose into the air and swirled around Li Qing and Zi Ling.

"Shut your mouth!" Li Qing slapped out with his palm, and at the same time, controlled the Soul-breaking Arrow with his mind to whirl towards them once more.

With every heavy blow, potatoes were smashed into dust and exploded in the air.

But the sheer number of surrounded potatoes was just too much, not thousands, but definitely in the hundreds.

Li Qing’s ferocious attacks, while fierce, were unlikely to eliminate all of the potatoes.

"Qingzi, I feel like I’ve played games like this before, but experiencing it for real is definitely a first for me," Zi Ling flung talismans wildly, casting gusts of wind or jets of flame, making the surroundings appear like a fierce battleground.

But even such large-scale techniques were somewhat ineffective against the overwhelming number of potatoes.

Because unless these things were thoroughly crushed into powder, they would still rise up again as weapons for attack.

Li Qing stopped and twisted his neck fiercely, "Congratulations, you ignorant thing, you’ve succeeded in angering me!"

He was preparing to use the most powerful group attack of the Thunder Method.

"Foolish mortals, don’t talk like your daddy, otherwise, your highly disrespectful attitude will leave you with no place to bury your dead!" That hoary voice transmitted among the potato crowd with a tone full of mocking.

"Is that so? Then let your daddy have a look!" Li Qing snorted coldly, and a complex tone popped out from the corner of his mouth.

Crack!

The moment his voice fell, the heavens gave a thunderous response.

Purple lightning tumbled down as if pouring out from Jiu Tian, rolling thunderously towards the earth.

In an instant as it struck the ground, the lightning spread rapidly, weaving a network of purple electricity across the land.

Those potatoes that were hopping around like bullets near Li Qing and Zi Ling, encountering this brutal force of Heavenly Dao, turned into ashes in a flash without any chance to struggle for breath.

When the surging purple lightning receded, the world suddenly fell silent. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Li Qing scraped at the ashes of the potatoes with his hand and shouted, "Potato Immortal, are you still there? I’d like to see your rage!"

But, aside from the scent of roasted potatoes, everything was silent.

Zi Ling sniffed lightly and suddenly laughed, "Qingzi, your roasted potato skills are not bad at all, it smells delicious. But it seems like quite the waste, barely one in a hundred survived. Do you think they are edible?"

"They’re definitely edible, they’re just ordinary potatoes that were used as weapons, there’s nothing that can’t be eaten, just make sure they’re not raw," Li Qing said with a laugh.

"Used by someone?" Zi Ling asked in surprise.

Li Qing nodded, "That voice just now was clearly human, it couldn’t be something else."

"But why would a person do this?" Zi Ling dug a potato out from the ashes, wiped off the charred bits with a handful of weeds, broke it open, and tentatively took a bite; instantly her bright, shiny eyes turned into delicate crescents.

"Qingzi, this is really delicious, you should try some. Purple Sky Cloud Thunder roasted potatoes, this must be the most luxurious roasted potatoes in the world."

Li Qing took the half she offered and tasted a bite; well, it had that authentic potato flavor.

"Although that voice did a lot of disguising, the tone carried a human feel to it. If it was really potatoes that became spirits, how could they talk like that?" Li Qing pondered while eating the potato.

"As for why he would do such a thing, who knows. Completely controlling potatoes to attack villagers, he must have some unspeakable motive, maybe there’s something in this place."

He had previously heard about people secretly mining and driving villagers away using despicable methods.

Perhaps this was one such case.

"Since it’s a person, they must be somewhere nearby, right? Whether it’s controlling these potatoes with techniques or Dao Intent, there would be a certain distance limit, it definitely can’t be too far," Zi Ling stood on her toes looking around, the charred potato ash making her mouth corners look like cute kitty whiskers, looking extremely adorable and silly.

Seeing her like this, Li Qing couldn’t help but smile warmly, wiped her mouth corners gently with his hand, and said, "Let’s go into the village and have a look. He must be unable to sit still by now. I will lead the way with the Soul-breaking Arrow and try to flush him out into a panic."

"Mm-hmm," Zi Ling nodded with a hint of shyness, her rosy lips gently sucking on Li Qing’s thumb.
