Chapter 349: The Curse of Soul Extermination and Yuan Yao
The female ghost in red used strange methods. If she only came for Luo Hong, he wouldn't be afraid. After all, he was already on guard.
But if they go towards Han Yunzhi or Yan Jing, it will be very troublesome, and they may lose their lives!
Therefore, after a short weighing, Luo Hong decided to take some risks and kill the female ghost in red immediately.
After stretching out his sword finger, Luo Hong's veins popped out on his forehead, and his face suddenly became ferocious as he uttered one word:
"die!"
As invisible fluctuations surged out, the sinister expression on the red-clothed female ghost's face suddenly froze, and the next moment she disappeared between heaven and earth like fine sand blown by the wind.
"this!"
Yanjing and Han Yunzhi were both surprised and shocked at this moment. They didn't think that Luo Hong would be defeated by the female ghost in red, but they never expected that this female ghost with extremely strange magical powers would be killed so easily.
According to common sense, there must be a fight no matter what.
Zhen Lan vaguely guessed something, but she had become numb to it because of her previous experiences. Moreover, her own vision was limited and she was unable to have an accurate understanding of Luo Hong's spell. Naturally, she did not know how powerful it was.
However, what the three of them didn't know was that after Luo Hong seemingly easily killed the female ghost in red, his soul couldn't help but feel pain.
Spells are mysterious, unpredictable, and difficult to guard against, but they are also very dangerous. They are more likely to cause backlash than spells, and the consequences of backlash are more serious.
Different from the immobilizing spell Luo Hong had cast before, the spell he had just cast, named [Soul-Destroying Curse], had a particularly obvious backlash effect.
This spell has the terrifying power to instantly kill the enemy soul, but every time it is cast, it will first cause damage to the caster himself.
With Luo Hong's current Sixth Form Realm Yuan Shen, using this spell to kill monks below Nascent Soul would cause negligible damage to himself, but if he used it to kill monks above Nascent Soul, it would be enough to make Luo Hong drink.
A pot of it.
Moreover, once this curse backfires, the best outcome Luo Hong will suffer is that his soul will be seriously injured.
Therefore, Luo Hong would never use the Soul-Destroying Curse when facing monks in the middle Nascent Soul stage or above.
Those early Yuanying monks who have practiced Yuanshen techniques also need to be very careful.
Although the method of the female ghost in red is treacherous, her spiritual realm is not high, and the Soul-Destroying Curse is a hard competition between the spiritual realms of both parties. The loser's soul will be destroyed immediately, and there is no reason to explain it.
After killing the female ghost in red, Luo Hong endured the pain and rushed into the group of green-haired evil ghosts. After a lot of effort, he fed them all to the Eye of Xuanyin without letting any of them escape.
"Master, the ghosts here are very difficult to deal with. We need to leave as soon as possible."
There were countless red-clothed female ghosts and other troublesome ghosts in the entire underworld. Luo Hong felt that this place was much more dangerous than the corpse mountain.
Yanjing nodded heavily, and immediately started chanting a mantra. After a while, he performed several Buddhist secret techniques, but no changes occurred.
After trying hard for a while, Yan Jing stopped and slowly shook his head at the three of them.
Luo Hong's eyes flashed with disappointment, but he didn't say anything. He frowned and thought of a way.
During the fight just now, the female ghost in red flew to a height of tens of feet, but did not attract the forbidden thunder. Obviously, the airborne restriction here does not target ghosts.
It's a pity that the Soul-Absorbing Curse does not work on beings above the Nascent Soul, otherwise I would have taken her in at that time.
Huh? Wait, why should I catch a female ghost? Don’t I have a female ghost?
A flash of light flashed in Luo Hong's eyes, and a beautiful image appeared in his mind.
"Master, please protect me for a moment or two."
After a simple explanation, Luo Hong sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, diffused his consciousness, and began to feel carefully.
Soon, he sensed a very weak spatial fluctuation, and immediately bit the tip of his tongue, spitting out a blood arrow made of blood essence, and shot it towards the source of the spatial fluctuation.
...
In a place of yin and darkness, a place where yin energy gathers, two beautiful figures have finished their practice for the day and are chatting to relieve their boredom.
"Senior Sister Yan, you don't even know how big the ancient demon is after its transformation. I was petrified at the time, but Brother Luo rushed forward without even thinking!"
Yuan Yao vividly recounted the battle between Luo Hong and the ancient demon outside the Xutian Palace, with a happy expression on his face.
Yanli on the side held her cute round face and said with a wry smile:
"Junior sister, you've said this dozens of times, how could I not know how big that ancient demon is."
"Sister, you are really disappointing, can't you just treat it as the first time?"
Yuan Yao's face fell, and she looked at Yanli resentfully.
Yanli had no sense of making a mistake at all, and she said with a wicked smile on her lips:
"Junior Sister Yuan, Senior Sister would like to hear more about what happened when you were on Lava Road.
Hee hee, junior sister, was your heart palpitating at that time?"
As she spoke, Yanli's eyes glanced at Yuan Yao's sensitive parts.
"Sister, you! I'm going to practice!"
Yuan Yao couldn't resist Yanli's teasing, a shy look flashed on her face, and she moved to the side.
The evil smile on Yanli's face grew bigger when she saw this, but her smile soon disappeared because she found that Yuan Yao was staring at the stone in a daze again.
"Junior sister, don't think about it."
Yanli floated quietly behind Yuan Yao, held her shoulders and said.
"Sister, do you think he is still alive?"
Yuan Yao's eyes were in trance and her tone was sad.
"Brother Luo of yours, since he is as powerful as you said, he can certainly take care of himself.
What we have to do now is to practice hard and get out of here first."
Yanli comforted her with a warm voice, but she actually didn't know if she could get out of this gloomy ghost place just by improving her cultivation level.
But she and Yuan Yao have been deceiving themselves with this hope. Otherwise, staying in this lifeless place all year round will inevitably affect their sanity.
"Senior sister is right, I shouldn't be like this. The speed of practicing ghost Dao skills here is extremely fast. I must be able to break through the middle stage of Nascent Soul in a few hundred years!"
Yuan Yao put down the Sky Mending Stone and said with a smile on his face.
"Then I have to work hard, but I can't let you pull me too far, junior sister."
Yanli only had a cultivation level in the foundation building stage during her lifetime. Although she has made significant progress every day after switching to the ghost path, she still only has a level of cultivation in the late stage of pill formation, while Yuan Yao has broken through Yuanying not long ago.
Of course, the ghost way is completely different from the immortal way. Yuanyao in the Yuanying realm did not cultivate the Yuanying, but completely transformed himself into a half-ghost body.
Just when the two girls were about to start their long training again, the blood pattern restriction on the Sky-Mending Stone suddenly reacted.
In the surprised eyes of the two women, the Sky-Mending Stone floated into the air on its own, and the power of space inside became violently agitated.
"Junior sister, retreat quickly!"
Sensing the huge space fluctuation caused by the Sky-Mending Stone, Yanli showed a look of horror on her face and quickly woke up Yuan Yao who was stunned with excitement.
Immediately, the two women escaped a hundred feet away, watching the Sky-Mending Stone tear apart the space, forming a space passage with themselves as the center, like the vertical eye of a monster.
The two girls didn't have to wait long, one leg stretched out of the passage, and Luo Hong appeared in front of them.
"Miss Yuan, we haven't seen you for many years. How are you?"
Luo Hong glanced around and saw Yuan Yao and Yanli with different expressions, and said with excitement.
Yuan Yao was ecstatic in her heart, and immediately wanted to pounce on her, but after a second thought, she restrained her impulse and said with a strange expression:
"Brother Luo, seeing my appearance, doesn't he know whether I am okay or not?"
Luo Hong was stunned for a moment, then laughed awkwardly.
He was indeed stupid to ask Yuan Yao, who had turned into a female ghost, if he was okay with this greeting!
"Miss Yuan, don't worry about it. Ghosts, immortals, and immortals are all connected to the great road. As long as the body and soul are not destroyed, there will be a glimmer of hope."
It is indeed not easy to accept losing one's body, Luo Hong comforted her.
"I guess Fellow Daoist is Fellow Daoist Luo, whom Junior Sister has always talked about. Is he here to rescue us this time?"
Yanli glanced at Yuan Yao and said happily.
"Yes and no."
The land of darkness is one of the most important opportunities on Yuan Yao's path to success, and Luo Hong will never take her away for a long time.
"Brother Luo, you don't seem to be surprised at all that I practice the ghost way?"
Yuan Yao blinked twice and said with confusion on his face.
"When Miss Yuan failed to cast the soul-resurrection spell and came to this dark place again, Luo had already expected it.
We will talk about the details later, Miss Yuan will go out with Luo first, the space channel created by the Sky-Mending Stone cannot be maintained for a long time."
Luo Hong sensed that the space channel was gradually showing signs of instability, and said in a hurry.
"Okay, senior sister, let's go!"
No matter what, it's always a good thing to be able to go out. Yuan Yao took Yanli and headed towards Luo Hong.
"Miss Yuan, I'm afraid your senior sister can't go with you."
Luo Hong smiled bitterly, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
"Why? Senior sister and I will never be separated!"
Yuan Yao frowned deeply and said very unhappily.
Yanli's face suddenly turned pale when she heard this, and her voice was dry and authentic:
"It's okay, junior sister, you can just go out with Fellow Daoist Luo."
When Luo Hong saw that this was going to be another life-and-death farewell, he quickly explained:
"Miss Yuan, to be honest, Luo didn't want to activate the Sky Mending Stone at this time.
But due to an accident, Luo fell into a dangerous place and was in urgent need of Miss Yuan's help, and that place was too dangerous for Taoist Fellow Yan.
Presumably Miss Yuan doesn’t want anything to happen to Fellow Taoist Yan!
In addition, the Sky-Mending Stone is not something that can be used once and for all. Fellow Taoist Yan only needs to endure it for a few more decades until the Sky-Mending Stone regains its strength before leaving this place."
After hearing what Luo Hong said, Yuan Yao's expression softened, concern and struggle showed in his eyes, and his eyes wandered uncertainly on Luo Hong and Yanli.
"The space channel can no longer be maintained. Please make a decision quickly, Miss Yuan!"
After Luo Hong urged him, he got into the passage first, leaving only one hand, waiting for Yuan Yao's response.
"Sorry, senior sister, he needs me."
Yuan Yao looked ashamed and pursed her red lips.
"Like in Xutian Palace?"
Yanli lifted Yuan Yao's hair, suddenly smiled and said:
"It's okay, junior sister, I want to catch up with your cultivation anyway.
As a senior sister, it doesn’t look right to have a weaker cultivation base than my junior sister!”
Yuan Yao nodded slightly, then stepped forward, grabbed Luo Hong's palm, and got into the space passage.
After a few breaths, the vertical eye-like space passage slowly closed, and the Sky-Mending Stone fell to the ground with a "dong" sound.
"Junior sister, I hope you are luckier than me."
After sighing faintly, Yanli sat down cross-legged on the ground and began a long practice.
...
The underworld.
Yanjing and the other three were guarding around a vertical eye-like crack. They had just watched Luo Hong open this space passage with their own eyes, and dived in without saying a word.
Therefore, even though they knew they should be careful to protect the Dharma at this time, they still couldn't help but be curious.
Not long after, Luo Hong returned to the underworld, paused for a moment, and then pulled out a beautiful figure from the space passage.
This sister is actually more beautiful than Sister Lan!
After meeting Yuan Yao, Zhen Lan was immediately stunned.
Han Yunzhi also secretly praised Yuan Yao's beauty in her heart, but she was obviously more concerned about the relationship between this female ghost who suddenly appeared and Luo Hong, and her eyes were filled with brilliance.
"Form is emptiness, emptiness is form. Lord Luo, you have a predestined relationship with me, the Buddha. Don't do anything wrong."
Yanjing's confidence that Luo Hong would escape into Buddhism in the future was greatly reduced. Is this a test for Buddhists? The poor monk still needs to practice more!
"Ahem, master, Luo will not become a monk."
Luo Hong coughed twice with a look of helplessness, then said with a solemn expression:
"This is Miss Yuan Yao Yuan. She is a close friend of Luo Mou. She has been cultivating in a secret place before."
Han Yunzhi and Zhen Lan immediately greeted them and said hello.
Yuan Yao looked at the three of them blankly. Except for what the monk said, she could not understand what Luo Hong and Han Yunzhi said.
"This place is not the Sea of Chaotic Stars, but in a world of immortality called Tiannan. This is a jade slip that records the language."
After handing a jade slip to Yuan Yao, Luo Hong said in the language of Luan Xinghai:
"Miss Yuan, there is a very powerful air restriction here. Only ghosts can float in the air. Please help me investigate and find any special terrain."
"This is a small matter, just leave it to me."
Yuan Yao quickly responded and floated high into the sky.
After Luo Hong watched him pass the ten-foot boundary safely, he seemed to suddenly remember something, threw out a jade slip and said:
"Fellow Daoist Zhen, you should also learn Tiannan's language. Your tongue-in-cheek voice is really not pleasant to hear."
"Thank you, senior."
Zhen Lan has always had this idea, but never found a chance to speak out.
After the four of them waited for a while, Yuan Yao returned floatingly, pointed in one direction and said:
"Far far away in this direction, there is a deep pit, which must be the special thing that Brother Luo mentioned.
The Yin Qi here is full of resentment, which is completely different from the Yin Ming Land. I dare to ask Brother Luo, where is this place?"
"Luo came here because of an accident. This place is dangerous, so we talked as we walked."
"Brother Luo, my great-uncle raised a thousand-legged centipede. It is as fast as the wind when it walks on the ground. It is suitable for transportation."
Han Yunzhi grabbed a spirit beast bag and said calmly.
"That's very good. We need to catch up with Xuan Cha and the others as soon as possible to prevent them from doing anything again!"
Luo Hong nodded slightly and signaled Han Yunzhi to release the Thousand-legged Centipede.
Han Shiquan is worthy of being a Nascent Soul monk from the Yuling Sect, and the spirit beasts he raises are quite skillful. When a thousand-legged centipede runs, it is not much slower than the flight speed of a monk in the late stage of pill formation.
Four people and one ghost stood on its back and sped away in the direction pointed by Yuan Yao.
