Chapter 961 Ghost Pill
There was a loud bang, and the body of the Jindan evil spirit shook. The one-horned ghost king groaned, and his body flew back seven or eight feet before falling to the ground.
The body of the foundation-building evil spirit had been severely damaged by Qingyang and others several times before, and had never been repaired. Now it was hit hard by the Jindan evil spirit again, and it could no longer maintain. Then there was a bang, and it exploded into more than a dozen pieces. Although it gathered together again, it could no longer form a body.
Seeing that the body of the foundation-building evil spirit could no longer be used, a black mist emerged from his body and transformed into the one-horned ghost king standing next to him. The one-horned ghost king looked much older, hunched over and coughed several times in succession, and seemed to have suffered a lot of injuries. Although most of the attacks were borne by the foundation-building evil spirit, they were equivalent to the attacks of a mid-stage Jindan cultivator after all. Even if the one-horned ghost king only passively bore a small part, the damage he suffered was not small.
However, the One-Horned Ghost King was not affected by this injury. Instead, he smiled, because the sneak attack he had used had a good effect. At this moment, he had a black bead in his hand, which was taken out from the body of the Golden Core Evil Spirit.
This black bead was the Ghost Core of the Evil Spirit, and it was the essence of his body. When ghost cultivators and evil spirits broke through the Ghost Spirit Stage in the Ghost Form Stage, they passed through the spiritual wisdom tribulation and formed a black inner core in their bodies, which was equivalent to the Golden Core of cultivators and the Demon Core of monsters. It was the energy source used by ghost cultivators to control various ghost instruments or cast ghost cultivation spells.
However, evil spirits, ghost cultivators, and cultivators were slightly different, because they mainly cultivated the Yuanshen, and mental attacks were their main means of attack, so the effect of the ghost core on ghost cultivators was not as great as that on cultivators and monsters. Unlike them, losing the demon core was equivalent to losing all their strength.
But even so, the strength of the evil spirits and ghost cultivators would be greatly reduced if the ghost pill was taken away. It would be 40% to 50% if not much, which is equivalent to eliminating half of the evil spirit's strength out of thin air, narrowing the gap between the two sides, and making the battle much easier.
The golden elixir evil spirit was careless after all. He thought that his subordinates had rebelled, but he didn't expect that someone else was hidden in the body of the foundation-building evil spirit. He didn't expect that the one-horned ghost king could actually scratch his body, and he didn't expect that the one-horned ghost king would take out his demon pill as soon as he made a move.
The golden elixir evil spirit looked at the hole in his chest with horror, his face full of disbelief. This happened just like that. Now the wound is pitch black, and black gas is constantly coming out. The strength is decreasing bit by bit, but his ghost pill has disappeared.
He looked up at the direction of the One-horned Ghost King and the dark ghost pill in his hand. The fear of the Golden Core Evil Spirit turned into anger, and the disbelief on his face turned into gnashing of teeth. How scared he was before, a low-level ghost cultivator not only pretended to be his subordinate, but also dared to sneak attack and injure him. What made him even more unacceptable was that he also took away his ghost pill, which greatly reduced his strength. How could he let go of such a grudge easily? He must catch this despicable and daring guy, torture him and then cut him into pieces, so that he could get rid of the hatred in his heart.
At this time, the Golden Core Evil Spirit even forgot Qingyang, who had embarrassed him before, and concentrated all his anger on the One-horned Ghost King. He screamed at him and shot an unprecedented mental attack towards the One-horned Ghost King.
Whether it was the mental attack launched by the foundation evil spirit on Xiao Yuhan and Qingyang individually, or the collective mental attack launched by the Jindan evil spirit on Qingyang and the other four, the power was not as great as this time. It can be seen that the Jindan evil spirit was indeed extremely angry.
The extremely angry Jindan evil spirit almost mobilized all the energy that could be used by the Yuanshen and launched a fatal attack on the One-horned Ghost King. Even though the One-horned Ghost King was a master in mental attacks and had made sufficient psychological preparations for the crazy revenge of the Jindan evil spirit before, when he saw this powerful attack, he was also frightened and gasped. This was going to cost him his life. While he hurriedly used his divine thoughts to offer mental defense, he shouted to the distance: "Qingyang boy, come and help, if you delay any longer, this old king will be dead."
Everyone knew that the situation was urgent at this time, how could Qingyang dare to hesitate? However, from the sudden attack of the One-horned Ghost King to the revenge of the Golden Core Evil Spirit, everything happened too fast, and Qingyang was a little far away from here, so he couldn't get here for a while. Now that the One-horned Ghost King desperately asked for help, Qingyang could only rush to the fastest speed and rushed here, hoping to catch up.
The speed of the mental attack was amazingly fast. At the same time, the attack of the Golden Core Evil Spirit had already reached the One-horned Ghost King. With a humming sound, the mental attack of the Golden Core Evil Spirit collided with his mental defense, and immediately a circle of invisible energy fluctuations were swirling in the air, and even a series of dust ripples were brought around.
The mental attack of the Golden Core Evil Spirit was indeed powerful. It was just a wave of attack, but it was as powerful as a tidal wave, and the layers upon layers seemed to have infinite momentum. The mental defense of the One-horned Ghost King was also eye-opening. The tough and dense defense was like a dam that blocked the impact of heavy floods. No matter how surging the floods were, he always stood tall.
The strength that the One-horned Ghost King has recovered now is only equivalent to that of a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building, while the cultivation of the Golden Core Evil Spirit is equivalent to that of a cultivator in the middle stage of Golden Core. There is a big realm difference between the two sides, and the gap in strength is like a chasm. However, the mental attack launched by the Golden Core Evil Spirit with all his strength has never been able to break through the defense of the One-horned Ghost King. This is not only because of his rich experience, but also because of his superb skills and exquisite mental defense secrets.
The speed of mental secret attacks is extremely fast. In just a blink of an eye, the two sides have fought for a round. The layers of attacks by the Golden Core Evil Spirit are exhausted. The energy of this attack is quickly used up. The Golden Core Evil Spirit did not break the defense of the One-horned Ghost King. Instead, it was backfired because of the poor attack, and even stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
The golden elixir evil spirit quickly stabilized its body, then raised its head and looked at the One-Horned Ghost King with fear in his eyes. Before, he thought that the other party was just a low-level creature who was too bold to provoke him. Now, after fighting, he found that the man in front of him was not as simple as he seemed. His real strength was probably not much lower than his own. If he added the annoying boy next to him, it would be difficult for him to win.
