Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Chapter 134: An Hour Earlier

The fight with the Woman with the sword, the Mist Origin Sect’s leader Ikusa, and his own sect leader were on a completely different level from what he had seen until now. 

The fight actually reminded him of the half a dozen men who fought against the tiger monster in the southern continent so long ago. 

However, he didn’t think that was on the same level as this.

The woman didn’t have any blue color to her skin, so Ning wondered if she had already lost it all. She was looking around with a hint of desperation in her eyes when she suddenly put her hands together and did something.

All the woman and corpses down below lost their corpse Qi as it flew up to the woman, making her skin bluer than any he had seen until now.

It was almost as if she was back to full power once more. 

“Sh*t”

* * An hour earlier * * 

Ikusa and Kaezir rushed to the city. They flew over the walls. “Everyone, go down and help those people,” Kaezir ordered the people who were still looking in a daze towards the screams and fire. 

They quickly nodded and left. 

“What is that?” Ikusa asked seeing people getting attacked by other people. Kaezir looked at the attacker and took out his bow and arrow. With a single arrow, he pinned down the attacker to the ground by piercing his thighs.

“Let’s go ask him,” Kaezir said and flew down. 

However, when they finally reached the man, they realized how bad of a condition he was in. Rotten skin, parts of the body that looked to be decaying, and ahead with barely any hair— the man was in a worse condition than any of the patients Kaezir had seen in the guild. 

“Old man, what is wrong with him?” Ikusa asked. 

“I do not know. This is my first time seeing someone like this,” Kaezir said. 

Ikusa stooped down and looked at the grunting man. “Old man, I don’t think his heart is beating. I think he is dead,” he said and proceeded to catch his wrist to feel the nerve. 

“Yeah, I’m right. He has no heartbeat. He is basically a walking corpse,” Ikusa said. Suddenly, a sharp pain appeared from his left hand. It was starting to rot just like the man’s skin. However, he didn’t fret. 

“Heal,” Ikusa said and suddenly the Rainbow Phoenix spit out a fire that engulfed his entire left arm. Within seconds, his hand was back to normal. 

“A corpse that is walking… could it be that this person was affected by corpse Qi?” Kaezir said.

“What’s corpse Qi?” Ikusa asked. 

“One of the most heinous and evil forms of Qi out there. According to the records, it’s only possible to create corpse Qi after a lot of deaths. Whoever is doing this must’ve killed a lot of people,” Kaezir said. 

Suddenly, a woman appeared in front of them. Someone whose skin was blue all the way through and was looking at the two with glee in her eyes.

“Another corpse?” Ikusa asked. 

“I don’t think so. It looks more like she is the culprit,” Kaezir said as he looked to the side. “Little miss, are you the one using the corpse Qi?” he asked.

“Oh, this old geezer knows about corpse Qi? I thought only our sect leader did,” she said. 

“Sect leader?” only then did Kaezir focus on her robes. It wasn’t the same color as it used to be, but the design and emblem were still there. “Eagle Sect? Since when did the Eagle sect know how to use corpse Qi,” Kaezir asked. 

“Stop asking so many questions old man,” the woman said and launched a sword attack. 

Kaezir only put up a single hand in retaliation as he assumed the half prayer state and said, “Amitabha.” A golden ring starting at his feet and spread out cleansing everything along the way. When it finally reached the woman, it suddenly, pushed the corpse qi out of her as well, turning her skin back to normal. 

“Burn her,” Ikusa said. Suddenly, the Rainbow Phoenix opened its mouth and sent out flames, burning the woman alive. Within moments, the woman was reduced to cinders.

Kaezir turned around and looked at the corpse. The man was also cleansed of the corpse Qi and was now just a normal corpse. 

“What was that, old man? I don’t think I’ve ever seen any one of you use such techniques,” Ikusa asked.

“It’s a technique written in our Buddhist scripture. It is a perfect counter to all sorts of evil Qi and cultivators. We don’t allow just anyone to learn of its existence, let alone teach it to them. Even in our sect, only a dozen or so people know it,” Kaezir said. 

“Well, I guess it’s about time you guys revealed your hands,” Ikusa said. He looked at the place where the woman once stood and said, ” Just what is Ulkai doing? Why is she attacking the city?” 

“We will have to rely on your Buddhist techniques now old man. Seeing how useful they are,” Ikusa said. 

“I’m afraid that’s not possible. I could only get rid of the corpse Qi on that lady because she was weak. If I happen to meet someone at my own level, or god forbid it, above me. I will have a hard time just defending myself,” Kaezir said.

“Alright enough talking, let’s go there. I have been feeling an ominous feeling from that place for quite a while now,” Ikusa said. 

Kaezir looked to the side. He could feel it too. “Let’s hurry up. I think my son is fighting right now, and I doubt he can beat them alone. Hopefully, the elders have gotten off of their lazy asses and started helping everyone,” Kaezir said. 

They immediately flew up and went to the center of the city. Along the way, Ikusa had his Rainbow Phoenix kill a bunch of zombies and the blue-skinned women, but he couldn’t waste his time on these weaklings. 

As a sect leader, he needed to find the person with the most authority behind these attacks, and that would be the sect leader of the Eagle Sect, Ulkai.
