Killing God - Chapter 359
Chapter 359 Flood Current
After walking down the Great Wall and sinking into the darkness, he left Yuanshi Sect and the others. Shen Shi and Ling Chunni’s footsteps abruptly accelerated. They quickly left the stone steps and took advantage of the darkness to walk to a dark corner. Shen Shi’s body instantly shook. It seemed as if he was somewhat powerless and almost fell to the ground.
On the side, Ling Chunnie kept looking at him along the way, her face full of worry. At this moment, when she saw Shen Shi’s somewhat unsustainable appearance, she immediately supported him and helped him to the wall. Regardless of whether the ground was clean or not, she sat in this dark corner first.
In the faint light, Shen Shi’s expression looked somewhat ugly. Ling Chunni grabbed onto his right hand, and surprisingly, there were dozens of small and large wounds on the palm that was still executing the spell not long ago. There were constantly tiny blood droplets slowly seeping out, and in some places, a faint white color could be seen, causing people to be shocked. At a glance, it even reminded people of the torture called Thousand Blades Ten Thousand Cuts. Only this palm was the only place where they were tortured.
Ling Chunni opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to cry out in alarm but forcefully suppressing herself. However, in the end, two rows of tears couldn’t help but slit across her cheeks and stared blankly at Shen Shi.
Shen Shi sat on the ground and leaned against the wall behind him. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He felt as if all the spiritual energy in his body had gone out of control from his dantian’s qi sea to his Qi channels and channels. Suddenly, all the spiritual energy became violent and violently collided within his body like a headless fly.
His Qi channels were as painful as knives. The most intense pain in his body was the palm of his right hand. For a period of time, he even felt that he had lost control of this palm. The only thing he could feel was the intense pain in his heart.
He sat down for a while, resisting the sudden discomfort and trying to calm his breathing. However, he soon realized that the situation did not seem to be improving. After his heart sank, his mind raced. He had never heard of such a violent backlash of spiritual energy in his body before, and he had never heard of such a situation from the numerous books he had heard or read since he was a child.
In other words, this strange situation had obviously never occurred to other cultivators, or was extremely rare. Moreover, when Master Pu taught him the Tier 3 technique, the Ice Sword Technique, he had never mentioned such a thing. Obviously, the problem was not with the Tier 3 technique, the Ice Sword Technique.
Then the only reason must be because of him. Something special about him caused such a strange Spiritual Energy backlash. But what would that be …
Shen Shi’s face was pale and his breathing was heavy. Ling Chunni’s almost trembling choking voice could already be heard beside his ears. He whispered, “Shi Shi, Shi Shi, are you alright?”
Shen Shi suddenly opened his eyes, scaring Ling Chunni. However, before she could ask anything, Shen Shi already said in a deep voice, “Chunni, help me look around. Don’t let anyone come over. I’ll regulate my breathing.”
After saying that, he immediately closed his eyes and didn’t say anything else. Ling Chunni was stunned for a moment. Then, she gritted her teeth and slowly stood up. She stood in front of Shen Shi and looked around. It was late at night, and the starlight was dim and dark. In this ancient, huge, yet incomparably unfamiliar city, in this unknown, yet gloomy corner, cold and loneliness seemed to suddenly surge from all directions.
The darkness everywhere seemed to be like sinister demonic beasts spying on them. Every cold breeze that blew past them was like the footsteps of terrifying enemies. Ling Chunni suddenly felt regret. She hated herself somewhat inexplicably. Why was there such a warm and peaceful day in Floating Cloud City, yet she was not satisfied? There was still a bit of greed coming here.
She bit her lips and turned around to look at Shen Shi, who was leaning against the corner of the ground with a haggard and pale face. Suddenly, she felt a pain in her heart. Tens of thousands of tenderness flashed by and only flowed in her heart. Then, she turned her head gently and stood silently in front of this incomparably large dark city, protecting the man behind her.
Even though she looked so weak, as if she was about to collapse with a single blow, she had an inexplicable determination in her heart. She stared blankly at the darkness in front of her and whispered in her heart, “If you do this for me, then unless I die, no one will hurt you.”

Shen Shi naturally did not know that Ling Chunni had such thoughts in his heart at this moment. After the initial failure of his normal breathing effort, Shen Shi was not a fool. On the contrary, he had always been a cautious and intelligent person. Therefore, in the blink of an eye, he thought of the key points on his body.
Yin Yang Curse.
It must be or could only be this kind of mysterious Demon race secret technique. In the past, when human cultivators used the Five Elements Technique, there might have been instances where their Spiritual Energy was consumed too much and they lost their Spiritual Energy. However, there would never be situations where their Spiritual Energy would go out of control and backlash. On the other hand, recalling the battle with Song Pi not long ago, Shen Shi faintly thought that the power of a Tier 3 spell was definitely much higher than that of a Tier 2 spell. However, it seemed as if it resonated with the heavens and earth on the Great Wall just now. It was obviously impossible.
The fact that he was able to execute that incomparably powerful ice sword technique was evidently due to the fact that he had obtained the Heavenly Underworld Curse technique from the Yin Yang Curse, which had greatly increased his benefits. The Spiritual Energy backlash that ravaged his body appeared very quickly after that ice sword technique.
Could it be that the Yin Yang Curse was indeed flawed? Or could it be that this kind of secret technique was only suitable for demons to cultivate, while humans would have such terrifying sequelae after cultivating it? Countless thoughts flashed through Shen Shi’s mind in a moment, but at this moment, his meridians were about to crack, and the pain on his right hand was incomparably intense. Especially, the pain had already begun to slowly spread to his wrist and arm. He didn’t need to look to know that those wounds that were like thousands of cuts had already begun to spread to his entire body.
Shen Shi gritted his teeth fiercely. He could no longer care about too much.
He calmed down. He no longer used the normal Dao Art of the human race to regulate his breathing. Instead, he concentrated his mind and body into the mysterious acupoint between his eyebrows. There was another acupoint that was like a second dantian hidden quietly.
Since it was a strange backlash caused by the Yin Yang Curse, he could only gamble in the end and use the Yin Yang Curse to cure it!
The powerful addition of various techniques was the Heavenly Underworld Curse, but there was another curse text. From the looks of it, it was just a calm and nourishing Heart Cleansing Curse. It was the basic cultivation technique that opened Shen Shimei’s Heart Aperture Acupoint and laid the foundation for his cultivation.
The intense pain around him continued, but the incomparably condensed spiritual energy in the acupoint of his eyebrows and heart suddenly trembled slightly. After Shen Shi started to barely activate the Heart Cleansing Curse, the calm spiritual energy here seemed to have sensed something and was beginning to stir.
A cool and gentle aura spread out from his Mei Xin Qiao acupoint. A moment later, under the guidance of his divine sense, the ball of Spiritual Energy in his Mei Xin Qiao acupoint suddenly spread out, and with the center of his head and eyebrows as the center, it spread into the Qi channels around his body.
Wherever he went, The uncontrollable Spiritual Energy that escaped from Shen Shi’s dantian instantly clashed with this cool Spiritual Energy. However, compared to the spiritual energy of his dantian, the spiritual energy from his eyebrow aperture was incomparably pure. The degree of condensation was at least several times greater than that of another spiritual energy. After a brief battle, the spiritual energy of his eyebrows quickly suppressed the spiritual energy of his dantian.
This process was short, but the damage to Shen Shi’s meridians and Qi channels was not small. For a moment, it was as if a thousand slashes of punishment had truly landed on his body. Everything in his body was painful, as if he had sliced the sharp blade into his flesh at the same time.
Shen Shi let out a muffled snort. In an instant, he was drenched in sweat. His body trembled violently and he almost fainted.
In the end, he had suffered many hardships over the years, and his temperament had been extremely tough. In this intense pain, he had almost managed to hold on, not letting the Spiritual Energy in his body completely lose control.
Fortunately, the spiritual energy between his eyebrows seemed to be very powerful against the spiritual energy in his dantian. After quickly suppressing it, it swept past because it belonged to the same origin. Instead, it swallowed up all the scattered spiritual energy in his dantian and turned it into a part of himself. Then, it rushed forward again.
Such a scene occurred simultaneously in the hundreds of Qi channels and meridians in his body. It was like a small stream flowing into a river and flowing straight into the sea. Drops by drops, the Clear Heart Curse, which had been very calm and peaceful in the past, suddenly had some power that was like a flood, raging waves, thunder, lightning, and lightning on this night.
The Spiritual Energy surged through every meridian, taking away every drop of Spiritual Energy, leaving no residue behind. In that silent but turbulent roar, it rushed towards its final destination–
Dantian!
The Qi Meridians and meridians that had lost their Spiritual Energy quickly regained their calm. No more intense pain came out. Shen Shi struggled free from the terrible torture and his mind gradually became clearer. At the same time, he felt that strange Spiritual Energy tide in his body, like a huge torrent, and an unbelievable thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
He didn’t dare to think too much. He only tried his best to control the increasingly powerful Spiritual Energy. At the same time, perhaps because the backlash Spiritual Energy was swallowed up by his eyebrows’ Spiritual Energy and taken away, the cracked bloodstains on his right palm quickly disappeared and began to return to normal.
However, Shen Shi did not feel relaxed in his heart. He was even more nervous than before, because like a sea of rivers, all of his spiritual energy had already rushed out of his dantian like a surging flood.
It was common sense for all rivers to return to the sea, but when the river water entered the sea, had there ever been a violent scene of thousands of horses galloping and shocking waves landing on the shore? At this moment, this was exactly what was happening in Shen Shi’s body.
Shen Shi did not know what would happen to him next. He was even slightly afraid that his dantian might not be able to withstand such a violent torrent. At that time, what awaited him would be a tragic outcome with his foundations completely destroyed. However, at this moment, even he himself was unable to stop the violent Spiritual Energy torrents.
In the next moment, he held his breath and under the urging of the Heart Cleansing Curse, for the first time, he truly gathered all of his spiritual energy within his body. Not the slightest bit of spiritual energy left was poured into his dantian.

Ling Chunni silently stood in front of Shen Shi and looked at the cold night. When the evening wind blew past her hair tips, it was a little chilly.
The surroundings were completely silent, as if even the sound of a needle falling could be heard. The heavens and earth were quiet, as if only she and Shen Shi were left behind.
She glanced at Shen Shi and saw that his expression seemed to be a little strange. Sweat kept dripping down. For a moment, it seemed that the pain was so intense that even the muscles on her face twisted. But then, it seemed to relax and her expression became much calmer.
Ling Chunni was a little worried, but looking at Shen Shi’s appearance, especially the wounds on his right palm, she heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that the situation was developing in a better direction.
Then, she was suddenly stunned. Turning around, she saw a deep sound of wheels crushing the road and driving past the road not far from her. In the faint light, it was like an ordinary carriage. It silently walked on the streets in the night. A man in his thirties was calmly driving in front of the carriage. The curtains in the carriage hung down, so tightly covered that no one could see what was inside.
Suddenly, a bright color flashed across the dark street. A very beautiful bird with golden, red, and yellow feathers flapped its wings and landed on the roof of the carriage.
It lowered its head and combed the feathers on its wings with its beak. It looked a little bored. In the blink of an eye, its gaze swept across the surroundings. It swept past a dark corner and saw the woman standing on the roadside with a surprised expression.
