Chapter 962: Repeated Frustration
At the same time, the One-horned Ghost King took a step back without making a sound. He was not as embarrassed as the Golden Core Evil Spirit. Although he seemed relaxed on the surface, he was actually not feeling well.
With the strength of the late stage of foundation building, it was difficult to make up for the gap between the two sides' cultivation levels even if he had high skills. So the situation in his body was not good at this time. It was just suppressed by his superb skills, so others did not see the flaw.
Qingyang was also secretly shocked when he watched from the side. If it was him who attacked just now, even if his mind was stronger than that of the cultivators of the same level, even if he had mastered the secret technique taught by the One-horned Ghost King and his mental defense ability had improved, he would probably not be able to resist it. Even so, the opponent's strength dropped significantly after losing the ghost pill. If the Golden Core Evil Spirit attacked him alone at its peak, Qingyang estimated that he might not be able to block even half a move.
The Jindan evil spirit could see that the ghost cultivator in front of him was of the same kind as him and was not afraid of his mental attack. In this case, he could only fight hard. In addition to mental attack, the Jindan evil spirit was also strong in other aspects. Apart from other things, the completely solidified body of the Ghost Spirit Stage was not comparable to that of the Ghost Form Stage ghost cultivator. Even if they fought hard, they were not afraid of the other party.
How could a Jindan evil spirit be frightened by a small Ghost Form Stage ghost cultivator? Thinking of this, the Jindan evil spirit sneered and rushed towards the One-horned Ghost King with all his strength.
Seeing that the Jindan evil spirit rushed towards him again, and he had not completely recovered from the previous fight, and Qingyang was too far away to come to support in a short time, the One-horned Ghost King could only stomp his feet and throw the top-grade ghost spirit artifact Soul Gathering Flag into the sky.
The Soul Gathering Flag swelled with the wind, and in a blink of an eye it covered half of the sky above his head. As the flag continued to shake, bursts of ghost cries and wolves howled came from it, which was breathtaking.
Qingyang had seen this scene before. In the Qianku Cave of Yuling Mountain, the Soul Gathering Flag was still in the hands of the Netherworld Master. He used it in this way at that time, releasing five evil spirits from the Soul Gathering Flag, almost forcing Qingyang into a desperate situation. In the end, it was the help of the One-Horned Ghost King that defeated the opponent and obtained the Soul Gathering Flag. Looking at the posture of the One-Horned Ghost King today, it seems that he is also ready to use this trick.
Sure enough, the Soul Gathering Flag in the air soon released a thick black fog, which instantly covered the body of the One-Horned Ghost King, and then five figures appeared around him.
These five figures were the five evil spirits in the Soul Gathering Flag at the beginning, but their current strength has also been greatly improved compared to before, which is almost equivalent to the middle stage of the foundation building of the cultivator. They all had red eyes and hideous faces, sometimes crying in a low voice, sometimes screaming loudly, sometimes muttering, and sometimes roaring loudly, staring at the evil spirit, with arrogance and greed in their eyes.
These five evil ghosts have been with the One-horned Ghost King for decades and have long been completely subdued by him. They are not very intelligent and only have the One-horned Ghost King in their eyes. They are obedient only when facing the One-horned Ghost King and do not care about anyone else. Even if the Jindan evil spirit on the opposite side is much stronger than them, they just treat it as a pile of more delicious food.
Seeing the Jindan evil spirit coming, the five evil ghosts rushed forward without the One-horned Ghost King's orders, surrounded the opponent, and used all means to attack.
However, the gap in strength between the two sides is too big. The five evil ghosts look arrogant, but they are just paper tigers in front of the Jindan evil spirit. Even if it is one against five, the Jindan evil spirit can handle it easily, and in a blink of an eye, the five evil ghosts are beaten up and fled in embarrassment.
In the previous battle with the One-horned Ghost King, this Jindan evil spirit had been repeatedly frustrated. Now he finally regained some confidence from these five evil ghosts. He couldn't help but feel happy. He flashed and was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue. At this time, Qingyang had already arrived. Seeing that the One-horned Ghost King could not hold on, he moved his mind and five spiritual swords flew into the sky at the same time. In an instant, a huge sword formation was formed in the air. With sword shadows all over the sky and boundless power, he killed the Jindan evil spirit.
Although this high-level evil spirit has a body and a cultivation level equivalent to the middle stage of the Jindan, it is after all acquired. The physical strength and defense are far inferior to those of the same level cultivators, especially after the ghost pill was taken away by the One-horned Ghost King, his strength has declined sharply.
Qingyang's Five Elements Sword Formation can even kill Jindan cultivators, not to mention ghost cultivators of the same level. The high-level evil spirit felt the power of the sword formation at the first time, and naturally did not dare to use his body to resist, so he flashed quickly, trying to avoid Qingyang's Five Elements Sword Formation.
At this moment, several black chains suddenly emerged from the ground, instantly wrapped around the feet of the Jindan evil spirit, and tightly grasped his body. This was naturally the masterpiece of the One-horned Ghost King. Everyone knows that ghost cultivators and evil spirits have exquisite body movements and extremely fast speeds. It is difficult for ordinary attacks of cultivators to hurt them, so the One-horned Ghost King discussed such a countermeasure with Qingyang. Qingyang's attack is powerful, and the One-horned Ghost King has many methods. The two cooperate with each other and will definitely catch the other off guard.
This is exactly the case. When the high-level evil spirit wanted to dodge, he found that his feet were tied, and his body that floated out was forcibly pulled back. The high-level evil spirit was caught off guard and almost fell to the ground. The high-level evil spirit was immediately angry. A small spell also wanted to trap himself? He roared to the sky, his body swelled up, and he immediately broke the black chain.
To put it bluntly, it was still a matter of strength disparity between the two sides. The Jindan Evil Spirit was pulled back by the chain only because he was not prepared before. When he became angry and used all his strength, the black chain was useless.
However, the One-horned Ghost King had already achieved his goal. With such a delay, Qingyang's Five Elements Sword Formation was already approaching. The high-level evil spirit had just broken free of its restraints when it was covered by the Five Elements Sword Formation. Then a series of screams came from the sword formation, the sound was extremely shrill.
Then there was a bang, and the Five Elements Sword Formation exploded. Five spirit swords were scattered around. Qingyang also stepped back two or three steps, and it took a long time to suppress the boiling blood in his body.
At this time, looking at the Jindan evil spirit again, it was completely different from before. Only the torso was left of the whole body. The limbs and head were all cut off by Qingyang's Five Elements Sword Formation, and the spirit swords were cut into countless fragments, which were scattered all over the sky.
Looking at the shapeless Jindan evil spirit opposite, Qingyang also sighed secretly, worthy of being an evil spirit in the ghost spirit period, this body strength is not much worse than that of the same-level Jindan cultivators, and his infinitely powerful Five Elements Sword Formation could not strangle him completely.
