Cultivation! My Augmented Statuses Have Unlimited Duration - Chapter 96

Chapter 96: Tiny Ghost’s Bewilderment

In his consciousness, Jiang Li felt extremely vexed. He raised his hand and punched the giant ape.

Unexpectedly, the extremely ferocious blood ape was unable to withstand a single strike, and it was blasted into a bloody mist that covered the sky by Jiang Li’s punch.

Jiang Li who had lost his target became even more furious, and the little bit of sanity he had was leaving him bit by bit.

“Vile disciple! Kneel down!”

The blood mist gathered again, transforming into his master who glared at him.

Jiang Li’s fist smashed into it.

“Unfilial son! How dare you be impudent!”

The blood mist transformed into the father of this body’s original host.

It was still destroyed by a punch!

“Jiang Li! You’re just an idiot that I made use of!”

This time, it was Yan Hong.

Without any hesitation, he ended it with a punch!

“Jiang Li! Jiang Li! Jiang Li!”

Familiar faces appeared one after another, and they threw the most vicious and hurtful words at Jiang Li, causing him to unconsciously feel resentful towards everyone.

In the end, Jiang Li completely ignored them. With anger, he smashed the figures formed by the bloody mist back into bloody mist one after another.

His emotions also became more and more frenzied as he attacked.

Slam!

Finally, after an unknown period of time, an abnormality suddenly occurred. The fist that Jiang Li’s body formed from his consciousness was constantly brandishing was suddenly grabbed by a blood red palm and forced him to stop.

“So that’s all that you can do!”

…

In the outside world, when Elder He saw Jiang Li’s expression change from anger to ferociousness, and then from savage to warped, he knew that Jiang Li had fallen into trouble.

To body cultivators, they would never fear a direct battle.

However, if they were to engage in some psychological battle or something like cutting away the inner demon, it would not be something that they were good at.

“I was careless. I didn’t check that heart. Could it be that the demonic ape still has that kind of thing in it?”

Elder He flipped his hand, and a thin piece of ice appeared on his finger. After that, he stared fixedly at Jiang Li’s expression. Once the situation lost control, he was prepared to throw the ice piece to stop the beast blood from entering his body.

Within the Sea of Consciousness.

“Jiang Li, oh Jiang Li, so this is all you can do.”

The blood-colored figure holding Jiang Li’s fist suddenly changed its appearance. When it was clear, it discovered that it had a face identical to Jiang Li’s.

“Who are you!” Jiang Li looked at the person who looked exactly like him and jolted awake.

Under Jiang Li’s active cooperation, the [Focused Spirit] status finally played a role, helping him quickly suppress and eliminate those inexplicable negative emotions.

When he recalled his mad self from before, Jiang Li’s forehead was covered in cold sweat. Sure enough, there were strange things in the cultivation world. With his little strength, he would fall into their trap if he was not careful. He could not be careless, he could not be careless at all.

He looked at the blood-colored Jiang Li before him, and his expression was solemn as well.

“Who am I? You’re Jiang Li, so I’m naturally Jiang Li as well!”

“But in next to no time, you won’t be Jiang Li anymore. In the future, I’ll be the only Jiang Li in this world! Haha! Hahaha!”

The blood red Jiang Li looked at the vigilant and solemn Jiang Li before laughing complacently as if everything was within his control.

“You want to replace me?”

Jiang Li’s consciousness body tried to continue attacking, using its fists to shatter the other party like before.

However, his opponent’s strength was extraordinarily great. No matter how hard Jiang Li tried, he was grabbed by his opponent’s fist and was unable to escape.

“It’s useless, it’s useless. Give up obediently!”

“You lost too much power in your madness. Do you know where that power went? It’s all in me!”

“Now, I’m stronger than you, so disappear obediently! Give me this body!”

As if to prove himself, the blood-colored Jiang Li’s figure suddenly started to grow taller. An even more powerful force appeared, completely suppressing Jiang Li’s consciousness and making him unable to move.

“Give up. I am you, you are me. Give up. Don’t work so hard. Let me live for you! I will fulfill your dream and fulfill your ambitions! Do it. Give your body to me!”

The blood-colored Jiang Li was still swelling up. After all, he was twice Jiang Li’s height. He looked down at Jiang Li and guided him patiently with his words, trying to make Jiang Li give up resisting and be eaten by him.

However, after Jiang Li finished speaking, he noticed that Jiang Li was utterly unmoved. A wisp of a cold smile even appeared on the face of the consciousness body, and it just watched silently as the blood-colored Jiang Li continued his performance.

The blood-colored face leaned close to Jiang Li, almost kissing him as it questioned fiercely, “Aren’t you afraid of death?”

“Aren’t you me? Don’t you know that I’m not afraid of death? Why would you ask such a stupid question?” Jiang Li was calm and composed now.

However, when he saw Jiang Li’s expression, the other party could not hold it in anymore.

“Why aren’t you afraid of me? You’re about to be eaten by me! Why aren’t you afraid of me?!”

Two blood-colored hands that were swollen like millstones grabbed Jiang Li’s consciousness body fiercely, as if they were going to crush him into pieces in the next moment.

However, no matter how hard he rubbed, Jiang Li’s consciousness still stood there without moving.

“Keep pretending. Aren’t you pretending to be my inner demon? Go on, let’s see if you can eat me.”

Jiang Li opened his status bar and took a look. The two messages on it directly exposed the truth to him.

[Soaked in the blood of the demonic ape. Added Status: Mental Mania. Added Status: Ghostly Possession.]

[Mental Mania: Mind attribute decreased by 0.5 temporarily. Negative emotions will breed due to decreased rationality. Duration: 15 minutes] (− +)

[Ghostly Possession: Mind attribute decreased by 0.5 temporarily. The ghost will attempt to steal memories. Duration: 15 minutes] (− +)

This blood-colored Jiang Li was not some grand calamity of the inner demon. It was clearly a small and weak ghost. Apart from stealing memories and beguiling people, it could do nothing else.

“What do you mean?! If you don’t admit defeat, I’m going to eat you!”

The blood-colored Jiang Li looked like it had swelled up greatly, but at this moment, it revealed a feeling of weakness.

“I didn’t expect that the demonic ape’s heart would contain such a ghost.”

“Heh, it’s your capability that my master didn’t discover you. However, you’re unlucky to have barged into my body like this!”

Jiang Li shouted until he broke the other party’s leg. The blood-colored Jiang Li immediately panicked, “What ghost? I’m not a ghost! I’ll let you off this time! Don’t be complacent!”

The swelling blood-colored body shrank back as if deflated. Soon, it became a small ghost that was only half a meter tall. After releasing Jiang Li, it flew up and wanted to escape.

However, a root had unknowingly appeared and wrapped around the ghost’s neck, causing it to instantly collapse as if it had been struck by lightning. It no longer had any strength to resist or escape.

“Compared to the tiger demon or demonic ape, the ghostwood tree is the true expert in playing with ghosts. You still want to leave after coming to me?”

In Jiang Li’s consciousness, a sapling had appeared out of nowhere. It was the ghostwood tree sapling that he had meditated in his mind while cultivating the Ghost Wood Art.

Although it was only a sapling, it was not a problem to capture and enslave a tiny ghost.

After a short moment, Jiang Li slowly opened his eyes, and the blood traces on his eyeballs had already vanished.
