As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills

825 Return Their Essence

Jiang Ming smiled faintly. “If people learned that your painting sucked passersby into it, they would probably burn it. I don’t think you want your painting to be burned, right? ”

The woman laughed out loud. “There’s no one in the Stone Mud Kingdom now. I’m also pretending to be the cultivation priest. Who will come to save you? Don’t tell me you want to rely on that monk I controlled and that weak second princess of the Daliang Kingdom?”

The woman in the painting spoke clearly.

When Jiang Ming and Xia Chenjing heard her words, they immediately understood everything.

It turned out that everything was planned by the woman in the painting.

Jiang Ming stepped forward and kicked the woman’s neck.

The woman disappeared instantly and quickly appeared behind Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming sensed the woman’s presence and turned around to attack.

The woman raised her hand and waved it forward.

A strong wind blew over, and Jiang Ming was directly blown away by the wind.

The woman aimed a kick at him. Jiang Ming saw her attack clearly and countered it.

The woman seemed to have expected Jiang Ming’s actions. She immediately aimed a kick at Jiang Ming’s face.

Jiang Ming felt strange.

The woman in front of him seemed to know his every move. It was as if she could read his mind.

Xia Chenjing was waiting for an opportunity.

When the time came, he would go for this woman.

Since this woman was so aggressive, he would not let her continue to be so arrogant.

In order to test his theory, Jiang Ming stepped on the woman’s feet.

The woman immediately cried out in pain. Jiang Ming immediately rejected his theory.

However, the woman suddenly smiled sinisterly and said to Jiang Ming, “You didn’t think I would feel pain, did you?”

Jiang Ming was stunned. He looked at the woman and said, “Is this your own dream?”

This was the only explanation he could think of.

The woman did not expect Jiang Ming to be right. She could not help but feel strange for a moment, but her expression returned to normal in an instant.

“No, don’t talk nonsense.”

She would not let Ning Caichen have such thoughts. She wanted to hide this matter.

However, Jiang Ming caught the woman’s expression and immediately exposed her.

“It seems that it is indeed as I said.”

Hearing Jiang Ming’s words, the woman could not help but be shocked. Then, she slashed at Jiang Ming.

However, Jiang Ming did not look flustered at all. He quietly waited for the woman to come forward.

The woman did not dare to go forward.

She suddenly could not see through Ning Chen’s movements. Ning Caichen seemed to have a secret.

Seeing that the woman did not dare to go forward, Jiang Ming rushed over and immediately headed toward the woman.

The woman was at a loss.

However, Jiang Ming attacked in a menacing manner and was extremely fast, causing the woman to spin around.

The woman wanted to catch Jiang Ming, but she could not.

Jiang Ming teased the woman, making her angry.

The woman was so angry that she decided to go all out and directly revealed a large sword.

She swung the sword in an attempt to cut Jiang Ming’s body in half.

Jiang Ming, however, was extremely agile and dodged the sword directly.

The woman had been trying to catch Jiang Ming, but she could not. She could not help but become a little irritable, and she rushed toward Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming saw through the woman’s thoughts and grabbed her neck tightly.

The woman did not think that Jiang Ming would grab her neck and rushed forward without any pressure.

However, Jiang Ming still grabbed the woman’s neck.

The woman felt a sharp pain in her throat and remembered that the neck of the demon she controlled was also grabbed by Jiang Ming in the same manner.

The woman stammered and wanted to speak, but her throat hurt too much. She could not take it anymore and could not make a sound.

Seeing the woman like this, Jiang Ming was very satisfied. He shouted at the woman, “What’s your name? Where did you come from? How did you turn the residents into golems?”

Xia Chenjing was also listening.

He was really curious.

The woman still wanted to keep quiet, but Jiang Ming tightened his grip again, making it so that the woman could not even make a sound.

For the first time in her life, the woman felt terrified.

It was a deathly fear. All that was left of her was her soul in the painting.

If her soul dissipated, she would not be able to reincarnate after death.

She was determined not to let her soul dissipate.

Thinking of this, the woman struggled with all her might, but she could not struggle against Jiang Ming at all. Her body was still held tightly by Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming didn’t want to be outdone. He lifted the woman up like a demon.

The woman felt suffocated, and the feeling of death crept up on her. She raised her arm and pointed at Jiang Ming and then herself, indicating that she would speak. Jiang Ming then slightly loosened his grip on the woman’s neck.

The woman finally had a breath of air and immediately spoke.

“I have also forgotten who I am. I am just a ghost here. I made up these golems. Those residents are trapped in this painting. Those golems have the memories of these residents, which is why they look exactly the same.”

“We’re also in this painting, so why don’t we see the residents?”

Xia Chenjing suddenly realized something. He looked around and found that the three of them were the only ones here.

The woman wanted to keep quiet.

However, Jiang Ming was not merciful. He tightened his grip.

The woman did not want to feel that suffocating feeling again, so she immediately spoke again.

“I have absorbed the essence of those residents, and they are all dead now. Only these golems are left. Those golems are now puppets, but they will become golems in the morning.”

“Can’t you return their essence to them?”

Jiang Ming thought about it and felt that this woman was hiding something else.

The woman shook her head. “Even if I could return it, they would have already become dried corpses. If I return their essences to them, they would still be dead.”

“Cut the crap. Return their essence to them now and bring out their corpses. I want to see what kind of dried corpses they are.”

Jiang Ming snorted coldly and looked straight at the woman.

He felt that this woman was too bold.

The woman did not expect Jiang Ming to be so fierce. She could not help but be a little afraid and immediately brought the corpses back.

The residents had their eyes closed, and their faces and bodies were purple.

The woman intended to put on an act. Wisps of essence appeared in her hands. It seemed that she was returning the essence to the residents, but in fact, she was returning it to herself.

The residents did not change at all.
