Hunyuan Immortal Sect

Chapter 234: Life and Death Fight

Seeing that the defensive shield condensed by the crystal core was about to be broken, the ghost general opened his mouth and sucked, and the crystal core immediately returned to his body.

The screen condensed by black light also disappeared in an instant, and everyone's magic weapons and talismans attacked it.

The ghost slapped down with its palm, and the palm glowed brightly. A palm print ten feet in size appeared in the air. With a slap, the phantoms condensed by everyone's magic weapons were twisted and shattered.

A long, sharp howl emanated from his mouth, and the piercing sound exploded directly in everyone's mind, like thunder out of the blue.

In an instant, everyone stood still.

Song Xian was also stunned there, his mind was blank.

When he came to his senses, he saw that the ghost had called over with its giant black hand and had smashed the heads of the two disciples.

The two disciples were still in a daze, and before they could recover from the chaos, their heads were smashed into pieces.

Song Xian was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. If the ghost general had slapped him with his giant black palm at that time, his fate would probably be the same as those two disciples.

The scream that the ghost general just made was obviously an attack technique of spiritual consciousness. With the ghost general's foundation-building cultivation level, the spiritual consciousness of the crowd was naturally not enough, so they fell into a dazed state.

Fortunately, this ghost general is not very intelligent. If it were a cultivator, judging from the order to retreat and attack just now, he would definitely know that he is the leader and would definitely deal with him first.

Although this ghost general possesses the strength of the Foundation Establishment Stage, his intelligence is not yet fully awake. He needs to cultivate to the Ghost King Stage to possess normal human intelligence. Therefore, he does not know the principle of capturing the leader first, and only deals with the cultivator closest to him.

Just as the giant black palm was about to strike the third disciple, a long spear shot out from the left and blocked the attack for the disciple.

This person was none other than Zhong Wenyuan, and the spear he held was the sect's top-grade magical weapon, the Ruyi Spear.

Zhong Wenyuan was a cautious person. Before launching the attack, he took out a talisman and condensed it into a light shield to protect himself. Therefore, he was not disturbed by the ghost general's spiritual attack. However, he was too late to save the two disciples who had already lost consciousness. Fortunately, he saved the third person in time.

The Ruyi Spear and the black giant palm collided, making a loud bang.

The black giant palm had previously crushed everyone's magic weapons and talismans, and it itself was also seriously damaged. It was already at the end of its strength. At this time, it was hit by the Ruyi Spear, and after a short stalemate, it broke into pieces.

Song Xian took out a golden talisman in his hand, and spiritual power poured into it. As the light bloomed, it condensed into a huge golden well-shaped spell. This was a second-level low-grade well-shaped spell, a special talisman in the Jidao Secret Records.

It has a strong restraining effect on evil things.

The huge well symbol emitted a dazzling golden light, like a mountain pressing down on the ghost.

Golden light enveloped the ghost general, and the rolling black mist on his body was immediately cleared away.

The ghost general seemed to sense the threat of the well character. He roared and slapped out another palm, and the huge black palm faced the well character.

With a loud bang, the two collided, the well character shook violently, and the golden light suddenly decreased.

The giant black palm also shook slightly.

Although it is a second-level low-grade talisman, it is still weaker than the magical powers wielded by the ghost generals in the foundation-building period. Even if the well character has a restraining effect on evil things, it cannot defeat the strong with the weak.

The black giant palm and the well character collided several times in a row, and the well character was finally shattered into pieces.

At this moment, another well character with golden light burst out and pressed down towards the ghost general.

Su Zhirou possesses all the talismans that Song Xian carries with him.

Because her cultivation was weaker than Song Xian's, she was attacked by the ghost general's spiritual consciousness and was unconscious for a longer time.

After coming to his senses, he saw that Song Xian was using the well character to fight against the ghost general, so he hurriedly took out the well character to lend a helping hand.

At this time, everyone came back to their senses one after another from their confusion.

"Brothers, everyone will be rewarded for killing this monster. Don't hold back, use all your abilities, otherwise we will all die here today." Song Xian shouted sternly.

He used two second-level low-grade talismans in succession, which consumed a lot of his spiritual power. Now he only has 25 points of spiritual power left.

You can only use one second-level low-grade talisman at most.

Su Zhirou's cultivation was weaker than his, she was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining. Like him, she had used two second-grade low-grade talismans, and there was very little spiritual power left in her body. Her face had become unusually pale.

The golden well character pressed down and collided with the black giant palm cast by the ghost general.

Others also used their magic weapons to attack the ghost general.

With a loud bang, the black giant palm shattered into pieces. When it defeated the well character used by Song Xian, it was also exhausted, so the golden well character shattered with one blow.

The ghost general let out a wild roar, and rolling sound waves visible to the naked eye surged out, rushing towards the pressing well-shaped curse like a vast ocean.

The golden well character continued to tremble violently under the overwhelming sound waves.

At this time, everyone's magic weapons and spells had arrived one after another, fighting against the overwhelming sound waves.

For a while, the two sides were evenly matched.

Zhong Wenyuan flipped his hand and took out a silver talisman. The spiritual energy in his body surged into it, and the silver talisman shone brightly, condensing into a giant tiger with flames all over its body, roaring towards the ghost general.

This is a second-level, mid-grade talisman, the Flame-Devouring Tiger.

Zhong Wenyuan has now reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, and is only one step away from the tenth level. Just now, he only used magic weapons to attack and did not consume too much spiritual power, so he had enough energy to use this second-level medium-grade Flame-Devouring Tiger Talisman.

This talisman is the relic of Wang Puqing in the Water Curtain Cave.

The giant flaming tiger rushed into the rolling sound waves as if it was in an empty space. Wherever the flames passed, the rolling sound waves seemed to be absorbed.

The red flames in the ghost general's eyes suddenly jumped, and black flames surged around his body, condensing into a black flame ball like a huge sun, facing the giant tiger.

The two collided without any sound of collision. The huge black sphere exploded and turned into a sky full of black flames that enveloped the giant tiger's body.

The black flames merged with the flames around the giant tiger and devoured each other, making it difficult to tell which was higher for a moment.

Because the giant flaming tiger absorbed the huge sound waves emitted by the ghost general, everyone was free to use their magic weapons and the golden well character to attack the ghost general from all sides.

The ghost general roared, and another big palm print was condensed, followed by a loud bang.

The golden well character trembled violently. After the black giant palm collided with the golden well character, other magical weapons followed closely and hit the giant palm.

After a short stalemate and a few exchanges, the black giant palm shattered, and seventy to eighty percent of the attacks from the magic weapons of the crowd had dissipated. The remaining magic weapons were cut down, but were wrapped in the mist around the ghost general, and they were like mud cows and water, and were visibly melted by the black mist around him.

Although no substantial damage was caused to the ghost general, the mist around him evaporated a lot, and his entire body became smaller, which shows that the ghost general was not completely unharmed.

At this moment, the ghost general let out another sharp, long howl. Having experienced the previous spiritual attack, everyone had been prepared and used talismans to protect themselves. However, they had not expected the ghost general's spiritual attack to be so powerful that even with the talismans' protection, some disciples with lower cultivation levels were still affected.

The light shield condensed by his talismans kept twisting and deforming under the invisible and colorless attack of spiritual consciousness. Then he fell into a state of obsession, and his mind went blank.

Even Song Xian almost got hit. When the ghost general let out a sharp roar, the golden shield around his body suddenly twisted, and then sharp roars sounded in his mind. Fortunately, he was focused and was not affected by those sounds.

But other disciples with weaker cultivation and less powerful spiritual awareness are not so good at it. This kind of spiritual attack is pervasive. Even if a defensive light shield is condensed around the body, it can only weaken the impact at most, but cannot completely eliminate it.

The main function of the defensive light shield is to prevent attacks after the mind is confused. After all, attacks from the mind cannot directly harm the body, but can only make the opponent fall into a state of mental confusion. Many disciples were hit at that moment.

After the ghost general let out a long roar, he raised his hands and a ball of gray light condensed in his palms. As the ball of light slowly rose up, it expanded rapidly in the air and became more than ten feet in size.

Black flames inside shot out in all directions like arrows, and each arrow was ten feet in size.

In an instant, more than a dozen black flame arrows shot out from the light ball, shooting towards everyone like stones in a catapult, and an endless stream of black flame arrows were also produced in the light ball.

Those disciples who were disturbed by the ghost general's spiritual consciousness and were in a state of confusion did not know what was happening. Under the attack of the black flames, the light shields around them quickly shattered, and then they were hit by arrows, and raging black flames ignited around them.

By the time he came to his senses, it was too late. The heart-wrenching screams kept echoing in the cave, which was very scary.

Just as the gray light ball was still continuously shooting out black flame arrows, a huge storm condensed and many wind blades shot out from it.

Song Xian gritted his teeth. Seeing that the ghost general's indiscriminate large-scale attack was killing everyone, he didn't care about anything else. He poured the last remaining spiritual power in his body into the talisman and attacked the gray ball of light.

At the same time, Lin Quan, Zhang Ningyuan, Huang He, Zhang Miao, Lu Yuan and other late Qi Refining cultivators also took out the distributed second-grade low-grade talismans.

Knowing that there were ghosts here and that there might be great risks, Song Xian took out all the magical instruments and talismans from the sect's treasury and distributed them to the people involved in this operation.

Not only does everyone have a magic weapon, but also a Red Sun Talisman.

For the main force in the late stage of Qi Refining, each of them was given a second-level low-grade talisman.

In an instant, talismans of various attributes were all activated, and huge wind blades, ice knives, lightning, fire dragons, golden light, etc. all attacked the ghost general at the same time.

The gray light ball in the air was shattered after a short while under such an attack.

Wind blades, ice knives, lightning, golden light, fire dragons, and many powerful attacks rushed towards the ghost general from all directions.

The ghost general was almost exhausted of his Yin energy at this time, and his body had shrunk a lot.

It opened its mouth again and spit out the black crystal core. As the black light spread, a black curtain formed, blocking many attacks.

But as subsequent attacks continued to strike, the black crystal core trembled violently, and the curtain formed continued to twist and deform.

The other surviving disciples also came to help, using magic weapons or talismans to attack the ghost general.

Seeing that the black curtain was about to break, the ghost general let out a roar, and the black crystal core exploded, emitting a dazzling black light that swept in all directions.

Those attacks were all drowned out by the blooming black light.

Visible ripples spread out in all directions like ripples, the residual power of the exploding ghost crystal cores fluctuating.

The ripples swept in front of Song Xian and were blocked by the shield condensed by the Vajra Talisman. Under the impact of the ripples, the golden light shield continued to tremble.

At this moment, a muffled groan suddenly came from behind.

Song Xian looked back and saw Su Zhirou flying backwards, falling several feet away, and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

She originally had talismans to protect her, but under the attack of the ghost general's black flame feather arrows just now, the talisman light shield had withstood several attacks of black flames and was already at the end of its strength.

At this moment, the talisman light shield could not withstand the shockwaves from the crystal core explosion, and her spiritual power was exhausted, so she was blown away by the impact of this force.

"Zhirou, Zhirou, Zhirou." Song Xian immediately came to her and hugged her in his arms, tears in his eyes and shouting in a trembling voice.

Su Zhirou's face was as pale as paper, her breath was weak, she opened her mouth, but fainted without saying a word.

"Zhirou." Song Xian shouted at the top of his lungs, tears streaming down his eyes, his whole body trembling, his mind blank.

"Master, Junior Sister Su is still breathing." Zhong Wenyuan came here at some point, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice.

Song Xian finally recovered from his shock and reached out to check her injuries.

When spiritual power flowed into her body for examination, he discovered that her internal organs were damaged, so he quickly took out the Heart Protecting Pill and gave it to her to take.

After the ghost general's crystal core exploded, it itself turned into black smoke and dissipated. The surroundings were in a mess. More than 20 monks were killed or injured. It was a tragic scene.

In this battle, ten disciples were unfortunately killed and six were injured, including three who died and two disciples who were injured when they were besieging the Nether Dog.

A total of thirteen people died and nine were injured.

Song Xian half-sat on the ground, holding Su Zhirou tightly in his arms, constantly protecting herself and calling her name.

Seeing that he was distracted, Zhong Wenyuan took over the command of the scene.

"Master, a layer of ice has formed in the tomb. What should we do now?" After dealing with the chaos at the scene, Zhong Wenyuan had to ask him for instructions.

Song Xian had also recovered from his panic at this time.

Hearing what Zhong Wenyuan said, he picked up Su Zhirou by the waist with both hands and placed her on a flat bamboo frame. He looked into the tomb. When they were fighting with the ghost general just now, the cold air in the tomb hall was also continuously expanding outwards. Now the whole tomb was covered with a layer of frost, and it was still spreading outwards.

Where did this icy air come from? It was definitely coming from the collapsed hall.

This is because before the main hall collapsed, everything in this spacious courtyard was normal, but after the main hall collapsed, the icy air began to spread.

The only thing that was not affected by the ice was the sarcophagus.

No one knows the origin of the sarcophagus. When the entire tomb was covered with a layer of ice, it stood proudly and was not covered by frost.

I think the sarcophagus should be the source of the cold, and the ghost general was also lying in the sarcophagus. It was only because everyone broke the ban on the hall that the ghost general was disturbed and rushed out of the sarcophagus.

It has come to this point. Even if the sarcophagus is a man-eating evil ghost, Song Xian has to find out.

He originally wanted to go and investigate on his own, but Zhong Wenyuan strongly opposed it, believing that as the headmaster, he should not take the risk personally when the situation was unclear.

So everyone discussed and decided that Lin Quan and Zhang Ningyuan should find out what was going on.

The two of them used a first-grade, top-grade defensive talisman, forming a light shield around their bodies and walked towards the tomb.
