Xiuxian, I have a high martial arts world

Chapter 158: Soul-Destroying Nail! Battle against the Ghost-Eyed Boy!

"The soul and life are in agreement, the ghosts give orders!"

"Nail Swamp Devil, come out!"

The ghost-eyed boy let out a soft shout, and kept forming seals with his hands, and then a strange light emanated from his body.

The ghost tattooed on the ghost-eyed boy’s chest seemed to come alive and gradually peel off from his skin.

This ghost looked to be only as tall as an adult woman and was dressed in white, but its long hair was scattered like a muddy swamp.

There are dozens of foot-long spikes nailed onto its body, making it look even more creepy.

Lin Chen frowned slightly when he saw this.

"Ding Marsh Demon? Judging from his aura... he seems to have reached the fifth or sixth level of Golden Core cultivation..."

Lin Chen controlled the flying sword while looking at the evil ghost in the nail swamp.

This is one of the most disgusting things about ghost cultivation.

Not only does the ghost cultivator have cultivation base himself, but the evil ghosts he contracts and summons are also extremely terrifying.

Especially, the ghost cultivator’s natal ghost!
Even more powerful than the ghost cultivator's body...

"However, this evil ghost of the nail swamp is far from enough to defeat me..."

Lin Chen smiled contemptuously, then summoned out the black knife again.

Demon-slaying sword!

Lin Chen snapped his fingers, and the true energy wrapped in the demon-slaying sword fought with the evil ghost in the nail swamp.

The demon-slaying sword suppressed the evil ghost tightly. For a moment, the sword light was shining everywhere, and the evil ghost in Ding Swamp was beaten back step by step.

With just a demon-slaying sword, he suppressed this evil ghost that was comparable to the middle stage of the Golden Core!

The ghost-eyed old monster frowned even more tightly when he saw this.

"This skill of controlling spirits is truly amazing... He can control twenty-two flying knives at the same time and still have the energy to spare... This person's true essence is probably comparable to an eighth or ninth level golden elixir!"

Thinking of this, the ghost-eyed old monster suddenly felt a little tricky.

"In this case, we can only exchange injuries for injuries..."

"The evil spirit of the nail swamp, the soul-destroying nail!"

The ghost-eyed old monster quickly recited a string of spells.

Immediately afterwards, the evil ghost in the nail swamp let out an extremely shrill scream.

Seeing this, Lin Chen frowned slightly and controlled the Demon-Slaying Sword to continue suppressing the evil ghost in the Ding Swamp.

However, unexpectedly, the long nails on the body of the Nail Swamp Evil Ghost were pulled out one by one.

As the long nails were pulled out one after another, the screams of the Nail Swamp Demon became more miserable.

Just as Lin Chen was wondering, the long spike suddenly turned around and stabbed towards Lin Chen.

Lin Chen suddenly felt something was wrong, and quickly used his body-protecting energy to try to resist...

However, unexpectedly, the long nail actually penetrated directly through the protective true energy and pierced into Lin Chen's body.

"Oops!"

Lin Chen's face changed, and he quickly tried to use his true energy to force the long spike away.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the long nail touched Lin Chen's skin, it turned into black gas and disappeared.

"What kind of magic weapon is this long nail..."

Just as Lin Chen was wondering, he suddenly felt a piercing pain.

"what!"

It hurts, it hurts so much!
Lin Chen only felt that his soul was suddenly pierced by a long nail, and he twitched instantly...

Pain surged from the depths of his soul, and an unprecedented pain swept through Lin Chen's body.

At this moment, Lin Chen was almost unable to breathe due to the pain.

Then, two, three, five...

Seven long nails pierced into Lin Chen's body. The evil ghost in the nail swamp in the distance also suffered the same pain as Lin Chen.

Under extreme pain, the twenty-one flying knives could not be controlled.

The ghost-eyed old monster took the opportunity to laugh grimly and summoned two green-faced evil ghosts to attack Lin Chen.

As for the evil ghost in the nail swamp, he also looked as if he was in agony and was trembling on the spot.

When the ghost-eyed old monster saw this, a look of heartache appeared on his face.

This evil ghost in Ding Swamp was a ghost he had obtained after hundreds of years of sacrifice and training.

He possesses the magical Soul-Destroying Nail, which can ignore the true energy defense and nail a wisp of the evil ghost's soul into the body of the cultivator.

It causes the monks to feel incomparable pain.

The stronger the soul of a cultivator, the less pain he will suffer.

The soul strength of the Dingzhao evil ghost is equivalent to that of a seventh-turn golden elixir cultivator, so it can severely damage a seventh-turn golden elixir cultivator.

However, at the same time, the Nail Swamp Demon will also suffer huge damage.

“Hehe, it seems that I have been worrying too much… This kid’s soul is only equivalent to the seventh-level golden elixir. It’s just that his true essence is a little strange…”

The ghost-eyed old monster grinned grimly, as if he had seen Lin Chen die at the hands of the two green-faced evil ghosts.

In fact, Lin Chen only had a fourth-level golden elixir. If he had not cultivated the Tianyan Jue to the seventh level, the strength of his spiritual consciousness would have increased by a full 70%, approaching the late stage of the golden elixir.

I'm afraid that under the soul-destroying nails of the evil ghost in the nail swamp, the soul will be directly shattered!

This is the most powerful aspect of ghost cultivators. The strength of their souls and the means of attacking their souls are much stronger than those of ordinary cultivators.

But at this moment, although Lin Chen's soul was injured, he still maintained his last bit of consciousness.

Looking at the two green-faced, fang-toothed puppets approaching quickly, Lin Chen gritted his teeth, blood spurting out from the tip of his tongue.

The physical pain briefly brings clarity to the soul.

Then, Lin Chen shook his hand and said softly:
"Slay the demon!"

Hundreds of feet away, the black long sword hummed softly and flew straight into Lin Chen's hand.

The black knife was in hand, and the cool blade and the mysterious power of the martial spirit slightly diluted the pain in his soul.

"The power of the candle dragon!"

Lin Chen gritted his teeth and released the power of Zhulong. At this moment, his consciousness was still a little unclear, and he was temporarily unable to use the vibration sword technique 100%.

Facing these two attacking evil ghosts with green faces and fangs, the simplest and most brutal way is to kill them with one knife!

Even without using the sword vibration technique, the powerful blessing brought by the power of Zhulong, coupled with Lin Chen's physical fitness as an intermediate martial artist.

This knife is too fast and too heavy!
I saw a knife slashing down, and the knife light flashed... Two evil ghosts in the Ghost Dan period were cut in half!
Lin Chen took the opportunity to leap back several hundred feet, putting some distance between himself and the ghost-eyed boy.

"Ahem, this nail really hurts!"

Lin Chen gritted his teeth and slowly stood up.

He squinted his eyes and looked at the ghost-eyed old monster hundreds of feet away.

This old Jindan monster who has been roaming Qingzhou for hundreds of years is indeed not a person who has gained his reputation for nothing. He is probably one of the top Jindan cultivators.

When the ghost-eyed old monster saw the two green-faced evil ghosts die, his pupils suddenly shrank.

"Ancient physical cultivation...Nine revolutions of the physical body to form a pill?"

The ghost-eyed old monster narrowed his eyes, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

But then he smiled contemptuously.

“Haha… I’m lucky this time. If I send this ancient body cultivator with the Nine-transformation Golden Core to the Puppet Hall, I might be able to refine a puppet with the Half-step Nascent Soul stage!”

Thinking of this, the ghost-eyed old monster licked his lips, and there was more greed in his eyes.

If an ordinary cultivator encounters a physical cultivator of this level, he may not be able to be their match.

But he is a ghost cultivator!

Specialize in the soul!

And the spirit and soul of the physical cultivator happened to be... very weak!
Therefore, ghost cultivators are the most restrained against it!
After suffering from the Soul-Destroying Nail, Lin Chen became more vigilant and kept an eye on the evil ghost in the Nail Swamp in the distance.

When Lin Chen was thinking about how to deal with the enemy, he suddenly received a voice transmission.

"Brother Xu, the soul attack of this ghost cultivator is very evil... I can call down thunder from the sky to cleanse your soul and eliminate the pain caused by the soul-destroying nail..."

After hearing this, Lin Chen's heart moved slightly. It turned out that it was Li Tianhan who was recuperating in the distance who sent the message.

His demon-subduing heavenly thunder body is extremely effective against this type of ghost cultivation methods.

Lin Chen was about to answer when he heard two more voices.

"Owner!"

"Owner!"

The first word "master" came from Tianyanzhu.

The second sound came from the jade ghost who had been sleeping for a long time!

"If you have something to say, tell me quickly..." Lin Chen whispered.

Tian Yanzhu quickly said after hearing this:

"Master, I can use a protective method to protect your soul... That evil ghost in the nail swamp is an extremely rare existence among the ghosts driven by ghost cultivators."

"Its unique skill, the Soul-Destroying Nail, can ignore the true essence and kill the soul... If you don't have the soul technique, it's very easy to get hurt!"

"But my Tian Yan spiritual light can just block the attack of this Soul-Destroying Nail."

After hearing this, Lin Chen was slightly delighted, but asked:

"Then why didn't you take action just now?"

"I... I didn't react..." Tian Yanzhu felt a little aggrieved.

After hearing this, Lin Chen was speechless. This spiritual treasure was really unreliable!
He didn't react at such a critical moment!

If Lin Chen had not practiced the Tianyan Jue, he would probably have suffered a serious disaster this time.

"To deal with this kind of ghost cultivator, it seems that I must learn one or two spiritual consciousness secrets..."

Lin Chen thought to himself.

The Tianyan Jue he practiced only had the effect of strengthening his soul.

He only grows stronger but has no secret method of the soul. He is like a cultivator who has abundant true energy and magic power but does not know any magical powers.

You will suffer a great loss when fighting against the enemy!
The secret techniques of the soul are also extremely rare, and are divided into two types: offensive and defensive.

The powerful spiritual attack technique can even directly shatter the enemy's soul and destroy the enemy invisibly.

However, Lin Chen had only been practicing for a short time and had never encountered this kind of enemy before, so he suffered a great loss.

"It seems that after this time, I have to learn a secret method of spiritual consciousness as soon as possible..." Lin Chen said in his heart.

At the same time, Yu Gui also flattered:
"Master, these delicious nutrients...can you give me some?"

"What nutrients?" Lin Chen laughed in anger. Facing such a powerful enemy, this Jade Ghost actually wanted to ask for benefits?

Yu Gui heard Lin Chen's unhappy tone and quickly explained:
"Master, it is the spirit of this evil ghost in the nail swamp... This soul-destroying nail was made from its own spirit. Although it has been driven into the master's body, it must be retrieved afterwards..."

"Now that the remnant soul has not yet dispersed, I think the master must be feeling extremely painful."

"I am Jade Ghost, born and raised by heaven and earth, and I am best at plundering residual souls... This residual soul of an evil ghost in the Jindan stage will be of great use to me!"

After a pause, Yu Gui said:
"As long as I can devour the remaining soul, the master will no longer feel pain in his soul..." Lin Chen's heart moved slightly after hearing this, and he nodded:
"Okay, you try."

Jade Ghost was overjoyed when he heard this, and then a ball of jade-colored mist attached to Lin Chen's skin.

The mist quickly led out a dozen residual souls and directly swallowed them up.

As the Jade Ghost swallowed the remaining soul, it burped, looking a little unsatisfied.

In the distance, the evil ghost in the nail swamp suddenly screamed miserably.

"what!"

Its body was shaking more and more violently, and it was obvious that its soul was seriously damaged.

After the Soul-Destroying Nail was removed, Lin Chen felt the pain in his soul gradually dissipate and soon returned to normal.

Seeing this, Lin Chen felt slightly happy.

"Sure enough!"

Then, Lin Chen held the demon-slaying sword in his hand, looked at the ghost-eyed boy in the distance, and sneered:
"I really underestimated you... Next, it's my home turf!"

"Tian Yan Pearl!"

"Yes, Master..."

An invisible spiritual light covered Lin Chen's skin, and Lin Chen suddenly felt refreshed.

"Is this the spiritual light of the heaven? It's quite impressive..."

"Before I learned the secret technique of the soul, I relied on the spiritual light here to protect my body!"

Lin Chen, holding a black knife, rushed towards the ghost-eyed monster.

When the Ghost-Eyed Monster saw that Lin Chen's soul was still alive and kicking after being hit by the Soul-Destroying Nail, his pupils suddenly shrank.

"Hurry, keep going! Use the Soul-Destroying Nail!"

The old monster with ghost eyes was a little panicked. While driving the evil ghost in the nail swamp, he summoned more evil ghosts to help.

He took out an ugly long banner.

The banner is made of human skin, and the handle is made of human bones.

"The soul and life are in agreement, the ghosts give orders!"

"One hundred ghosts parade at night, obey my orders!"

As the ghost-eyed boy cast the spell, a lot of black mist appeared above the ghost flag.

Faintly, there seemed to be crying and shouting...

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the mists were actually ghost faces. After emerging from the ghost flags, they quickly condensed into ghost creatures.

Green ghost, red evil ghost, long-tongued ghost...

Hundreds of ghosts, from the long-tongued ghosts comparable to the foundation-building stage to the red-clothed evil ghosts comparable to the fake elixir stage, all pounced towards Lin Chen.

A ghost cultivator can form an army on his own. After hundreds or even thousands of years of accumulation, the number of evil ghosts accumulated by a powerful ghost cultivator is astonishing.

"Ghost cultivators, they are really disgusting."

Lin Chen snorted coldly, and his whole body's true energy surged.

"However, these little ghosts alone can't do anything to me!"

Lin Chen held the demon-slaying sword in his hand and rushed towards the ghosts.

An ordinary little ghost can be dealt with with just one sword.

As for the evil ghosts in the false elixir stage, two swords are needed.

After all, ghosts are between reality and illusion, and the damage caused by martial arts skills is greatly weakened.

But even so, after several rounds of Lin Chen's attacks, most of these ghosts were killed tragically.

Seeing this, the old ghost was even more frightened and hurriedly urged:
"The soul and life are in agreement, the ghosts give orders!"

"Nail Swamp Devil, listen to my command!"

"Soul-destroying nail, out!"

The evil ghost in the nail swamp was still in a state of damaged soul at this time, but after hearing the words of the ghost-eyed old monster, he could only endure the pain and use the soul-destroying nail again.

More than ten nails stabbed towards Lin Chen.

But after encountering Lin Chen's Tianyan spiritual light, he was instantly isolated.

Seeing that all the little ghosts were dispersed by Lin Chen, the ghost-eyed boy laughed grimly.

"One hundred ghosts parade at night, obey my orders!"

"Gather the soul and condense the spirit!"

As the ghost-eyed boy waved the ghost flag, a gust of evil wind blew around.

Immediately afterwards, the defeated ghosts began to regroup.

Seeing this, Lin Chen frowned slightly.

"Ghosts have no physical form, and they can actually regroup after being dispersed..."

"It's really a bit tricky!"

Just as Lin Chen was thinking about how to deal with the situation, he heard the voice of the Jade Ghost.

"Master, this Soul-Destroying Nail..."

"Well, you eat it!" Lin Chen said generously.

"okay!"

The Jade Ghost devoured the remaining soul in the Soul-Killing Nail in a few seconds.

Then, there was still some lingering feeling:
"Ahem, Master... that..."

"Can I still eat the remaining souls around here?"

Hearing this, Lin Chen looked at the ghosts he had killed.

After a ghost is killed, its residual soul will remain in this world and will not dissipate in a short time.

The more powerful the ghost, the longer it can stay...

Under the summons of the ghost flag, the hundreds of ghosts can continue to gather...

But, what if it was swallowed directly?

The Jade Ghost is a ghost that can devour residual souls!
Thinking of this, Lin Chen's mouth corners raised.

"eat!"

"Today, I will give you enough food!"

After saying that, Lin Chen continued to kill these ghosts.

The Jade Ghost was shaking with excitement, madly devouring the remaining souls around it.

Lin Chen only cared about killing ghosts, while the Jade Ghost only cared about devouring them.

A master and a servant, they work together perfectly.

After being swallowed by the Jade Ghost, those ghosts never had the chance to regroup.

Seeing that the number of summoned ghosts was decreasing, the ghost-eyed boy's eyes turned red.

These ghosts are the result of his hard work and accumulation over hundreds of years!
What ghost cultivators rely on most are ghosts!

Therefore, regardless of the outcome of this battle, as long as these ghosts were killed...

After this battle, his strength will certainly be greatly reduced and he will no longer be as strong as before.

"Damn it! Damn it all!"

The ghost-eyed old monster cursed angrily. The last time he lost his temper like this was a few years ago in Yudai City...

"Who is this guy?"

"Why...why did such a troublesome existence suddenly appear in Qingzhou?"

The ghost-eyed old monster had never seen Lin Chen, and he didn't know that the "Xu Shi" in front of him was the culprit who had severely injured him in Yudai City several years ago.

Seeing that all the ghosts were about to be devoured, the old monster with ghost eyes suddenly became anxious.

"The evil spirit of the nail swamp! The soul-destroying nail!"

The old monster Guimu's eyes were already red at this time. Even if the evil ghost in the nail swamp that he had raised with great effort died after this battle, he would still kill this guy.

The evil ghost Ding Numa trembled after hearing this, but as a ghost, he could not resist.

While Lin Chen was fighting with the evil ghost in Dingzhamp, the old monster Guimu began to summon other evil ghosts.

"The soul and life are in agreement, the ghosts give orders!"

"Devil May Cry, evil ghost, come out!"

"The fallen ghost from the ground, come out!"

"Snow ghost, come out!"

The ghost-eyed monster was now blood-thirsty. He was desperate and madly summoned the evil ghosts that he had painstakingly accumulated for many years.

Then, the three tattoos on his chest glowed faintly.

Three evil ghosts in the middle stage of Jindan realm drilled out directly from his chest.

When the devil ghost appeared, ghosts and wolves howled within a ten-mile radius, like babies crying non-stop.

The evil ghost that fell to the ground is a huge monster that looks like a lizard, with strong muscles all over its body, three meters long, and lying on the ground.

As for the snow ghost, it is a female ghost with an extremely beautiful face.

The ghost has a petite figure and skin as white as snow. The most amazing thing is that the hair and eyes of this ghost are all snow-white...

When the snow ghost appears, snow begins to fall between heaven and earth.

……

At this time, Lin Chen was enjoying killing. After he completely eliminated all the ghosts, he used his true energy to severely injure the evil ghost in the nail swamp.

The remaining soul of the evil ghost in Dingzhama was also being devoured by the Jade Ghost.

In the blink of an eye, he was dying.

Just after getting rid of the Nail Swamp Evil Ghost, Lin Chen saw three more evil ghosts and sneered:

"Heh, a ghost cultivator, one man is an army... It really lives up to his reputation!"

After saying that, Lin Chen hovered a hundred feet away from the ghost-eyed boy and sneered:

"Ghost Eye, I haven't seen you for a few years... You have made great progress!"

How many years have you not seen?

The ghost-eyed old monster frowned and asked hurriedly:

"You... who are you? We have clearly never met before!"

After hearing this, Lin Chen sneered.

Since the Ghost-Eyed Monster has summoned evil ghosts, there is no need for him to fight him one-on-one anymore.

"Long Ba, Feng Jiu, come out!"

After summoning two martial arts puppets, Lin Chen smiled and said:
"Ghost Eye, do you remember who I am now?"
