Chapter 517: Take a Step Back to Avoid the Ghost King (Two Chapters in One)
Blind Crow's thoughts had just recovered a little from the suppression of the Golden Bridge on the other side, when he was besieged by the integrated Small Zhoutian Star Array. He felt as if he was trapped in the vast and desolate starry sky. The surroundings were dark and deep, and he was extremely small, but there were stars slowly lighting up in the dark night. Looking up at the starry sky, they seemed far away but were actually close. The fangs and claws of the blue dragon, the fierce roar of the white tiger, the burning evil red bird, etc., came from all directions, without a single gap.
He wanted to use immortal arts to block it, but his soul had not yet completely recovered from stagnation, and it was very difficult to operate. Even his life-long magic weapon, the Weeping God Soul-Destroying Banner, was difficult to control, and he was about to die in the Small Zhoutian Star Array.
But at this time, the pupilless and strange eyes of the blind crow suddenly began to rotate, and a black spot appeared in the center of the vortex, which became larger and larger, and finally turned into two dark pupils without reflections. Wherever the eyes looked, there was no sound or movement, and no magnificent and beautiful scene appeared. The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, Black Tortoise, as well as many stars such as Tiangang and Disha, quickly dimmed and withered, as if they had reached the end of their lives. Whether it was the laws or the spiritual energy nearby, they were directly "dead" and dissipated.
This is the unique fourth-level fairy art of the blind crow, which can be called the "Eye of Death" that has obtained the essence of the Great Dao of Death, and has the power of the fourth-level peak.
He was a ghost crow that was unique to the Nine Netherworld. Later, he became a disciple of the Ghost King of Mangshan, learned the true teachings of the Ghost Dao, and became a genius after achieving the Yuan Shen. He integrated a unique magical power of his clan with several immortal arts of the Ghost Dao of Mangshan. Finally, before the third heavenly tribulation, he created this powerful immortal art, and his strength jumped to the first place among the disciples of the Ghost King of Mangshan.
However, he was not a golden immortal, and the immortal art he created still had many omissions. The most direct one was that his eyes were completely blind. Even if he survived the third heavenly tribulation, he could not recover. Fortunately, the real person had Yuan Shi, so it didn't matter if he couldn't see. But another defect was more troublesome. After using the "Eye of Death" once, he had to be nurtured for at least 49 days before he could use it again, otherwise he would explode and die.
Therefore, unless it was a critical moment, the blind crow rarely used the "Eye of Death", but at this moment, under the aftermath of the suppression of the Golden Bridge on the other side, he could only operate this immortal art smoothly.
The power of death spread, and the stars in the sky withered. In a flash, the stars dissipated, the night retreated, and "death" also disappeared. The fourth-level peak fairy art and the three-tribulation pure yang magic weapon plus the supreme swordsmanship and the broken jade art tied.
With the obstruction of the Eye of Death, the blind crow finally recovered completely from the suppression of the Tai Chi diagram. Just as he was about to move his position and use fairy arts to fight back, he felt that the surrounding space was locked. He found that after he broke away from the night sky, he did not return to the Yinshan Cave, but was in the vast universe full of illusory worlds, black mixed holes, time and space storms, and the collapse of the sun and the moon. It made this body even smaller, helpless, and his mind was shaken.
They shook together, the universe turned upside down, and it was very terrifying. The power of the formation fairy arts was fully demonstrated.
As soon as the blind crow thought about it, a few black drops of water immediately fell from the top of his head, covering the surrounding area. The rain was like the misty drizzle in spring, ethereal and beautiful. Wherever the rain passed, the space became gloomy and dark, the breath of life disappeared, and it was filled with the taste of quiet death. It barely blocked the illusory time and space storm, the collapse of the sun and the moon, and the black mixed hole. However, the sky turned upside down and the attacks continued. The blind crow had a hard time dealing with it.
"This formation-type fairy art is very profound. If it is practiced to the level of the seventh or eighth level fairy art, I am afraid that the time and space storm, black mixed hole, etc. inside will become real. If it reaches the ninth level, I am afraid that the world will be as real as it is. At that time, my formation-type fairy art of "Death Rain Melting Fairy Formation" will not be comparable even if it is of the same level." After using the "Death Rain Melting Fairy Formation" to barely block the Liangyi Micro Dust Formation, the blind crow sighed in his heart, opened his mouth and spit out a black skull.
The skull was smiling strangely, with a row of teeth as white as snow, turning into a dark sword light, and slashing towards the Liangyi Microdust Formation. It was the "Nine Nether Ten Thousand Filth Sword", the three-tribulation pure yang magic weapon of Blind Crow, which was extremely yin and extremely filthy.
The Ghost King of Mangshan grew up after the disappearance of Zuo Shengdijun. The ghost creatures advanced slowly. He had not passed a decline tribulation in more than 20,000 years of cultivation, and he had never left the Nine Nether World. The number of things other than ghosts that could be taken out and brought back by the Other Shore Boat was limited, so he was not rich. Several ghost Taoists under his command did not even have a three-tribulation pure yang magic weapon except for their own magic weapons. Blind Crow was given the Nine Nether Ten Thousand Filth Sword because he was his favorite disciple.
Moreover, although the interval between the heavenly tribulation and decline tribulation of magic weapons and spiritual treasures was much longer than that of real people, it was more difficult, and very few could advance to the next level. Therefore, the higher you go, the more difficult it is to obtain magic weapons and spiritual treasures.
An ordinary three-tribulation Yangshen Zhenren may have had five or six phantom magic weapons, two or three one-tribulation pure Yang magic weapons, and one or two two-tribulation magic weapons. However, except for those with a deep sect background who can be given one or two three-tribulation pure Yang magic weapons, or those who have been to many great worlds and have rich experience, they often only have one three-tribulation pure Yang magic weapon in addition to their natal magic weapon.
As for the number of Tongtian Lingbao, before the second decline of the heavenly man, on average, each Zhenjun can barely have one, but from the second decline of the heavenly man, Tongtian Lingbao is rarer than Zhenjun, so the higher you go, the more you rely on your own natal magic treasure and immortal arts, and even the secret treasures are used less in battle because they have to give priority to the needs of overcoming the decline, rather than attack, defense and other uses, and often only one or two are used to save lives.
When the dark sword light of the Nine Nether Ten Thousand Evils Sword appeared, the surrounding atmosphere immediately became filthy and full of death. This rolling black death contained countless hidden, insidious, and snake-like tiny sword lights. At the same time, a long banner rose behind the blind crow's head. It was a white long cloth with many strange ghosts painted on it. Forty-nine black jade bells were hung around the long banner in sequence. They moved without wind, bringing out a crisp and pleasant sound, but full of tranquility, silence, and sleep.
It sounded gently, making people's souls shake, shaky, and sinking. At the same time, the white long banner was brushed, and a black ghost light was brushed out. Inside was an illusory and hideous ghost, trying to tear and pull the soul. It was the blind crow's life magic weapon "Falling God Soul-Destroying Banner", which was specifically aimed at the soul, soul body, etc., not for strong attack or defense, so the blind crow did not use it at the first time, but used the Nine Nether Ten Thousand Evils Sword to clear the way.
But at this time, the dark universe nearby darkened again, and the purple stars and bright stars rose again, which was perfect. The small Zhoutian Star Array attacked again, and countless star sword lights turned into ethereal trajectories to cut, either into white tigers or white rainbows, which were temporarily on par with the Nine Nether Ten Thousand Evil Swords and the Dead Rain Rongxian Array.
From the first attack of the small Zhoutian Star Array to the current situation, it was only one or two moments.
…………
And Mo Gui faced the unstoppable and unstoppable purple sword light, not only his thoughts had not completely recovered from the suppression of the Tai Chi diagram, but also seemed to be frightened by its aura of destruction and killing, and was confused by the vast and mysterious starry sky in the sword light. Even more, the operation of the immortal art was dim, and he stood there stupidly, neither dodging nor avoiding.
But his green and shining hands were naturally raised, although it was still a little slow, but he just blocked the purple sword light.
The hands grew bigger and bigger, the skin faded, revealing flesh with bulging veins and blood vessels, with green light flowing on them, Yin Qi and corpse Qi almost tangible, and complex darkness, death laws, and prohibitions also emerged in the flesh, and then stretched upwards, and actually grabbed the sword light of Ziying Sword with bare hands!
When the ten fingers broke through the air, they actually tore the space a little, revealing a dim nothingness.
Mo Gui ingeniously combined his life magic weapon with his strongest fairy art and practiced a pair of "Sky Tearing Ghost Hands", which was also equivalent to the peak of the fourth-level fairy art. It was like a magic weapon but not a magic weapon, like a fairy art but not a fairy art, powerful and brutal, so it could recover half a moment earlier than his own soul and block the disaster of killing.
An illusory space appeared on the Ziying Sword, with colorful lightning flashing inside and countless thunderclouds rolling in the ancient thunderstorm space. Its power was added to the Ziying Sword, greatly increasing its power.
At the same time, a small white jade seal appeared in the space above the ink ghost. The talismans on the four faces emitted infinite white light, covering and locking the surroundings, and then fell down like a mountain pressing down on the top.
The purple sword light fell on the "Sky-tearing Ghost Hand", and the Yin Qi and corpse Qi on it were illuminated by the noble Ziying Sword of the Evil-Slaying Sword, and retreated to the surroundings. The starry sky in the purple sword light moved faster and more mysteriously, and many stars kept appearing and exploding.
In the blink of an eye, the aura of destruction and killing merged with the sword energy, and the purple sword light became extremely sharp, cutting off the ten fingers of the ghost hand and slashing on its ghost palm.
The cut fingers and broken flesh gathered and recovered in the squirming. Although the purple sword light was still unstoppable, its speed was slowed down. The fourth-level peak Sky-tearing Ghost Hand was not easy to deal with. If Mo Gui's soul had not yet recovered, even if he could not compete with the combined power of the Three Tribulations Pure Yang Flying Sword, the Supreme Sword Technique, the Broken Jade Art, and the Heaven and Earth Mountains and Rivers Map, he would not be able to block it for only a moment. Of course, if the Purple Ying Sword reached the peak of the Three Tribulations Pure Yang, it would be another matter.
With the instantaneous blocking of the Sky-tearing Ghost Hand, Mo Gui's soul finally recovered, but at this time it became like a giant peak of the Earth-trapping Seal. Because the Sky-tearing Ghost Hand was suppressed by the Purple Ying Sword and had no other defense, it had already fallen on his head. The light of the talisman reflected on the Niwan Palace, and there was no way to avoid it!
Before Mo Gui even had time to think, a blood-yellow light appeared on his body and was about to light up.
But at this time, the golden bridge on the other side, which meant to suppress the heavens and the world, appeared again and landed on Mo Gui's head. The golden lotus blossomed, the earth, fire, wind and water stopped, the rolling chaos subsided, and the blood-yellow light stopped, about to shine.
It was Shi Xuan who used the Tai Chi diagram that he had just put back after suppressing it!
The earth-trapping seal hit Mo Gui's head directly, and his cute big-headed doll appearance immediately turned purple, hideous, and bloody. Then, it was broken into pieces under the earth-trapping seal. Countless soul fragments flew around, but were blocked by the white light, which fixed the soul and regenerated it. It was impossible to get away, so it was crushed into powder by the white jade giant seal and the storage bag.
Moreover, a black and white entangled light that had been prepared flew over, emitting a strong suction force, firmly adsorbing some of the soul fragments on the black part, and then retracted into the prehistoric universe.
Until this moment, the blood-yellow light finally got rid of the suppression of the golden bridge on the other side, and completely lit up, covering the place where Mo Gui's body was just now, and turned into a blood-yellow Yellow Spring tributary full of the meaning of sinking and restraint.
A Yellow Spring surged up to the sky, almost breaking through the Liangyi Micro Dust Formation, but Mo Gui's Yuanshen did not appear in it.
…………
Shi Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief after activating the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle that collected Mo Gui's Yuanshen fragments and trapped them in it to prevent any unexpected trouble.
From the beginning, Shi Xuan had never planned to deal with two people at the same time. His several cross-level immortal arts have not yet been cultivated, and the Ziying Sword has just advanced. Even if Shi Xuan is arrogant, he dare not say that he can fight against two real people of the same level.
Although he has five three-tribulation pure yang magic weapons, including his natal magic weapon, the Tai Chi diagram is mysterious and profound, and there is also a formation-type immortal art, a supreme swordsmanship, and a cave magic weapon, Shi Xuan can only guarantee to take down one of them. After all, the other party also has a natal magic weapon, a three-tribulation pure yang magic weapon, powerful secret treasures and immortal arts. He can't underestimate them. If they join forces, he will lose one and return empty-handed.
Therefore, Shi Xuan was prepared to use formations to isolate the two people from the beginning, and he used a double formation of the Small Zhoutian Star Fighting Formation plus the Liangyi Microdust Formation, and then entangled one and attacked the other with all his strength, using the fast to beat the slow, and using the intention to plan without intention, and he must complete his work in an instant before the two people can exert their full strength and unite together.
As for who to choose, Shi Xuan originally planned to choose at random, but after using the Zhaoxu Realm to illuminate the two people's figures, Shi Xuan immediately made a decision. With such a special appearance and such a special aura, how could Shi Xuan not recognize them!
In this month, Shi Xuan was not deaf to the outside world. He had already found out the news of several ghost kings and some powerful three-tribulation ghost masters. Otherwise, with Shi Xuan's cautious character, he would not dare to go out to Yinshan without even perfecting the intelligence.
So Shi Xuan recognized the two people at a glance as the three-tribulation ghost masters, Blind Crow and Mo Gui, who were under the seat of the Mangshan Ghost King.
Blind Crow was the disciple of the Mangshan Ghost King, and Mo Gui was his capable subordinate. It was clear who to choose.
Shi Xuan used all his tricks, without hiding anything. Even the Yin-Yang Mixed Hole Divine Light was hidden in the illusory black hole of the Liangyi Microdust Array as a backup, and finally took down Mo Gui!
With one of the two powerful enemies gone, Shi Xuan's pressure suddenly decreased, and he shifted all his attention to Blind Crow, ready to kill him before the effect of the Broken Jade Art disappeared! Otherwise, after searching for Mo Gui's soul fragments, he found that only Blind Crow, the disciple of the Ghost King, knew about his omissions. Wouldn't that be a waste of effort? !
After recognizing that the two were two of the three Ghost Dao Immortals who had passed by him before, Shi Xuan felt even more strange. If they had come to deal with him on purpose, he should have taken action at that time. If he was caught off guard, he might suffer a loss. But they passed by him for a while and then attacked. They should have had the remnants of their own living breath on them, or simply simulated their own living breath, so they were temporarily blinded by the breath after the conversion of life and death, and they woke up soon.
Where did the living breath come from? Where had he seen himself?
Moreover, there were three real people at that time, but now there are only two, and Shi Xuan can guess the whereabouts of the other one. After the signs of Mo Gui's death were sensed, Mangshan Ghost King should come. He is not a fool. He still respects his status at this time and sends his subordinates to die.
Therefore, it is not just that I want to kill the blind crow, but the blind crow will also want to entangle me. Now it is not that anyone can leave unilaterally. It's just that I have the upper hand in strength. If I really want to retreat, it will take some time, and I still have 70% to 80% chance of success.
…………
The original form of the blind crow is a ghost crow that is a specialty of the Jiuyou World. It is very sensitive to the breath of death. When it was using the Death Rain Melting Immortal Formation, the Jiuyou Wanwu Sword and other immortal arts to barely block the siege of Shi Xuan's Liangyi Microdust Formation and the Small Zhoutian Star Fighting Formation, its nose suddenly twitched slightly, and a huge wave was set off in its heart, but he quickly suppressed the negative emotions of surprise and panic: "The black ghost actually fell in one or two moments! The opponent was one against two, and was distracted, but he was still able to kill the black ghost so quickly. Both his strength and magic weapon are quite terrifying!"
With this understanding, the blind crow would not hold back. It raised its head and croaked, and its entire body turned into a black crow a hundred feet in size. There were no feathers on its body, and it was all condensed with black death energy. Only the position of the eyes was still white.
After performing the Ghost Crow transformation, the Blind Crow's aura surged, and its strength increased greatly. The spring drizzle under the Death Rain Melting Immortal Formation immediately turned into a summer downpour, and the black water flowed down like a waterfall, blocking all the infinite star sword lights that attacked the Small Zhoutian Star Fighting Formation. Both the White Tiger and the Azure Dragon began to melt and dissipate.
Then the black rain rippled in all directions, but after expanding for a distance, it was resisted by the purple-blue Vermillion Bird condensed by countless stars. The Death Rain Melting Immortal Formation, which was slightly at a disadvantage just now, turned the tables and gained a slight advantage.
At the same time, the black jade bell on the Falling God Soul-Destroying Banner rang more and more urgently and crisply, as if urging death. The illusory sound that could not penetrate the isolation of the two formations before sounded in Shi Xuan's Yuanshen for the first time, but the Tai Chi diagram turned into the other side of the golden bridge to suppress it, and the Pure and Natural Morality Heavenly Venerable emerged, and completely suppressed it at the end of its strength, without causing any damage to the Yuanshen.
In comparison, the Nine Nether Ten Thousand Filth Sword had no obvious improvement. It was blown by the time and space storm, blowing away the filthy death breath.
But Blind Crow did this just to gain some space. Before Shi Xuan offered up the Heaven and Earth Mountain and River Map, continued to bless the Small Zhoutian Star Array, and used the Tai Chi Map again, although he was heartbroken, he took out a piece of black talisman paper without hesitation. There were some words written on it like ghostly talismans. The sloppy words did not look like words, but more like a green-faced evil ghost with two horns on his head.
As soon as the talisman paper came out, it flew up on its own and burned without wind. A dark and deep hole appeared on the spot. A huge green ghost hand stretched out from it and grabbed Shi Xuan. Even if it did not contain the power of the Great Dao, the strong death and yin energy suppressed the laws of heaven and earth. It was the blind crow's life-saving fourth-level immortal talisman "Mangshan Ghost King Soul-suppressing Talisman". Although it was fourth-level, it was almost fifth-level because it asked for the power of its own master, and its power was extraordinary.
As soon as the huge green ghost hand appeared, a layer of black air naturally appeared around it, condensing into a huge black cloud, in which many dark, death, and nine nether laws emerged, and hideous ghosts were born from it, making extremely shrill ghost cries.
Wherever the ghost claw went, it was invincible. The deep black night sky with bright stars inlaid in it was torn by a claw, and the starlight was overflowing, bright and brilliant.
After the Xiao Zhou Tian Xing Dou formation was broken, the ghost hand faced the prehistoric universe. Countless suns, moons, stars, black holes, time and space storms, and the world exploded at the same time when Shi Xuan thought about it. Suddenly, the universe collapsed, and a point of chaos and nothingness expanded rapidly, covering the ghost hand.
In the void, five green giant fingers suddenly inserted, and then the ghost hand reappeared, but it was much dimmer than before.
With this delay, a purple sword light slashed again, and countless stars formed a vast starry sky inside, rising and falling, turning into a mysterious trajectory, bringing out the breath of destruction and killing, and an illusory ancient thunderstorm world emerged on it, with a little world power blessing.
It seemed that the golden bridge that could carry all living beings to transcend the other side suddenly appeared, suppressing the ghost hand and the huge black cloud under the bridge, and fixing the Death Rain Melting Immortal Formation that followed the blind crow.
But the ghost hand just moved slightly, breaking free from the suppressing force, grabbing the Ziying sword that was slashing forward without turning back, and countless starlights were annihilated, and the sharp sword cut countless deep marks on the ghost hand, and was knocked back by it.
The ghost hand, which had become illusory and dim, had a breath that was no longer at the peak of the fourth level. When it grabbed the five-color smudge bell, it was brushed back by its red, green, black, white and yellow five-color light, and disappeared silently.
After a lot of effort, Shi Xuan finally blocked the "Mangshan Ghost King Soul-Descending Talisman", but at this time, the Nine Nether Ten Thousand Filth Sword, the Death Rain Melting Immortal Formation, and the Falling God Soul-Destroying Banner had already hit him, and what was even more dangerous was that a terrifying breath that made the world tremble was approaching rapidly.
Black and white entangled light flew out, brushing the Falling Soul Banner and absorbing the power of the soul. The warm white jade sunken seal appeared on Shi Xuan's chest, directly imprinted on the dark sword light of the Nine Nether Ten Thousand Evil Sword, and the dark and gloomy prehistoric universe appeared again, catching the Death Rain Melting Immortal Formation.
After this attack, although many of Blind Crow's methods were blocked, Shi Xuan flew backwards, regardless of anything, and two wings, one blue and one purple, grew out of his back. With a light flap, he continued to flee backwards. Several magic weapons outside also followed and drilled into his soul.
Seeing Shi Xuan flying backwards, his soul was shaken and unable to block his next attack, Blind Crow was secretly happy in his heart, but when the Ten Thousand Ghosts Soul Locking Technique was played, he exclaimed lightly: "The direction he flew backwards?!"
The terrifying aura had just arrived outside the Yinshan Cave, but it was exactly the same as before, but with a trace of death, the green ghost claw blessed by the power of the Extreme Yin Avenue appeared out of thin air, suppressing the entire deep part of the cave and making it dark suddenly.
The place where Shi Xuan flew backwards was exactly behind the fault in the deepest part of the cave, where the original space of the small world was stacked, twisted and folded, and filled with the fog of time and space.
After falling into the white fog of time and space, the green ghost claw barely caught it, but it could no longer lock onto Shi Xuan's aura, and could only grab aimlessly without any gain. As for the Ten Thousand Ghosts Soul Locking Technique, it was even later.
