Warning! A hidden dragon has emerged!

The three evil spirits at the forefront had no time to dodge and were crushed into dust by the terrifying sword light, completely disappearing.

The initially anxious Hidden Dragon team members witnessed the evil spirit being slain by a single sword strike through the willow leaves, and their morale soared.

The group immediately drew their swords and charged forward, engaging the evil spirit in an epic battle.

Soon, they discovered a new problem.

When the Dragon Sparrow Blade struck the evil spirit, it was as if it had struck thin air; it could not cause any damage whatsoever.

Jiang Yao frowned, feeling deeply frustrated.

Her cultivation level far surpassed that of ordinary team members, yet she was equally helpless at this moment.

Recalling the scene of her wielding the Money Sword and slaughtering everyone on that night of the full moon, she was immediately filled with regret.

"If I had known this would happen, I would have kept the Money Sword with me at all times, and I wouldn't be in such a passive position now."

"Killing these filthy things is easy, isn't it?"

Qin Quan's voice suddenly rang out from behind her.

"Nonsense! Who wouldn't want to clear the area and break the deadlock as soon as possible!"

Jiang Yao looked aggrieved, like a bullied little wife.

Qin Quan smiled mysteriously.

"I'll help you."

"real?"

Jiang Yao turned around abruptly, her tightly furrowed brows instantly relaxing into a radiant smile.

"Help me quickly!"

Qin Quan took the Dragon Sparrow Blade from her hand, his fingers flying, and in an instant, he drew a talisman to ward off evil spirits on the blade.

At the same time, a wisp of pure Yang energy flowed into the blade, causing the entire longsword to glow with a faint golden light, and evil spirits retreated.

"Give it a try."

Jiang Yao took the knife and turned to charge into the horde of evil spirits, completely shedding her gentle and mature demeanor.

She was as ruthless and decisive as a Valkyrie.

She spotted an evil spirit lunging at her and swung her sword down.

Stab it!

The moment the Daoguang clashed with the evil spirit, golden light dispelled the evil.

The evil spirit didn't even have time to scream before it turned to ashes on the spot, its soul scattered.

"My little brother is really reliable! This knife is amazing!"

Jiang Yao was filled with fighting spirit. She wielded her consecrated longsword and charged through the battlefield. In an instant, she entered the core battlefield and formed an offensive and defensive formation with Zhang Qingshun back to back.

Knowing when to advance and retreat, and being ruthless in killing.

"Old Master Zhang, let's fight evil side by side once again!"

"Hahaha! Team Leader Jiang's martial arts skills are unparalleled; it's an honor for this old man!"

Zhang Qingshun responded with a loud laugh.

His Taoist skills were profound, but facing the relentless attacks of hundreds of evil spirits, he inevitably suffered great depletion after a prolonged battle.

Jiang Yao's arrival instantly relieved most of his pressure, and the battlefield situation was reversed in an instant.

Lin Wanrou, watching from the side, couldn't resist the urge to join in. Seeing Jiang Yao's overwhelming victory, she immediately went to Qin Quan and said eagerly:

"Quickly draw me a talisman to ward off evil spirits too, I need to go into battle!"

"No, you can't go."

Qin Quan's words were concise and direct in his refusal.

Why?

Lin Wanrou looked puzzled and felt resentful.

"You are of pure Yin constitution, which is like a delicious Tang Monk's flesh to evil spirits, a highly nourishing substance."

"If you go up there, you won't be able to kill them. Instead, you'll be scrambled for by the evil spirits, dragging everyone down with you. It's not worth it."

A pure Yin constitution is uniquely advantageous, but its drawbacks are equally obvious.

Before she reached the Foundation Establishment stage, she was both a top-tier furnace and a nourishing treasure for evil spirits.

There is a possibility that the other party may possess your body.

Only by successfully establishing a foundation, undergoing a physical transformation, and gaining immense strength can one completely escape their destiny.

Lin Wanrou pursed her lips and stopped. Although she was unwilling, she could only obediently stay behind.

At this moment, Xie Bi'an, dragging his sword with both hands, strode forward, his face showing a mixture of trepidation and earnestness.

"Captain Qin, I... I also want to go into battle and fight for the team!"

Now the whole team is suspicious of him, and he needs a real victory to prove his innocence.

Otherwise, he would be unable to defend himself, and his position as the head of the Hidden Dragon in Southern Xinjiang would be in jeopardy.

Qin Quan observed this and made his own judgment.

Xie Bi'an was definitely not a traitor.

He took Xie Bi'an's Dragon Sparrow Blade, drew a talisman on it, infused it with a wisp of pure Yang energy, and handed the longsword back.

"Take it, use your strength to shut everyone up."

"Thank you so much, Captain Qin!"

Xie Bi'an gripped his long sword tightly, took a deep breath, and channeled all his grievances and resentment into killing power. He charged into the horde of evil spirits and fought alongside Jiang Yao and Zhang Qingshun.

The three of them each performed their duties and cooperated seamlessly, using Taoist magic to dispel evil and their blades to slay demons.

In less than a minute, the hundreds of evil spirits that had been wreaking havoc on the entire area were all killed and reduced to ashes.

The three of them simultaneously stopped their stances and looked up, their gazes locked on the old ghost hovering high in the sky, their fighting spirits fierce.

"Old man, bring out your trump cards, I'm ready to take them."

"Old ghost, without the help of these evil spirits, let's see how long you can hold out!"

High above, Old Ghost looked down at the crowd below. Instead of being angry, he laughed wildly, his face full of mockery.

"With just a few exorcising talismans and two Taoist artifacts, you dare to boast of killing me? How laughable!"

He slowly raised his hand, his movements arrogant.

"You think you've won? Those evil spirits were nothing but trash I casually raised. Today, you've wiped them all out, saving me from a terrible crisis. I should thank you."

Over the years, the old ghost has been imprisoning evil spirits and raising malevolent beings, committing countless acts of killing. Entangled in karma, his cultivation has stagnated for years, leaving him physically and mentally exhausted. He has been trapped in this misty ghost forest for decades, unable to move an inch.

Just now, all the ghosts were destroyed, and the karma dissipated. He felt completely refreshed, and the bottleneck in his cultivation that had not been loosened for many years suddenly shook at this moment.

Click!

A crisp sound echoed through the mountains and forests!

The shackles shattered, and the vital energy surged.

Black mist surged around the old ghost, and his cultivation level soared. In an instant, he crossed the barrier and steadily stepped into the Martial King realm.

A powerful and domineering pressure swept across the entire Ghost Forest, making everyone's breath catch in their throats.

"Today, with the help of you all, I have successfully attained the Martial King realm!"

The old ghost laughed wildly, his voice shaking the surrounding area.

"From this day forward, I shall be the king of these Hundred Thousand Mountains! Hahaha!"

The four evil spirits protecting him bowed in unison and offered their congratulations.

"Congratulations, Master, on attaining the Martial King realm and dominating a region."

The two seemingly innocent and naive Kuman Thong also bowed and paid their respects in the manner of the evil spirits, but their dark eyes contained no trace of innocence, only a chilling ferocity.

"My children, your chance to prove yourselves has come!"

Old Ghost raised his hand and angrily pointed at the crowd below, revealing his murderous intent.

"Kill them all! Leave no one alive!"

"yes!"

The two Kuman Thong bowed and accepted the order. With a swift movement, they swooped down like cannonballs, heading straight for Zhang Qingshun, Jiang Yao, and Xie Bi'an. A dense aura of killing intent instantly enveloped the entire area.

"Be careful!"

Lin Wanrou's expression changed drastically, and she quickly spoke up to remind him.

"They are not ethereal evil spirits, but invulnerable Kumanthong!"

The scene of Jiang Yao and Xie Bi'an ambushing Lao Gui just now is still vivid in my mind.

If the sneak attack succeeds, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Only Zhang Qingshun remained calm and showed no fear.

He held the peach wood sword and stood firmly in place.

"A mere Kumanthong is no match for this old Taoist. Even if I can't subdue it, Mr. Qin won't stand idly by."
