The freezing cold air came from the palm of the hand, red light shone on Liang Xi's fingers, and a line of flames swirled in front of her.
There was a muffled bang, and Liang Xi took a step back. Bai Mufeng's body was blown away like a tattered bag, and the black mist that came out of Bai Mufeng's body flew far away with the force of the shock.
go out.
Liang Xi raised her hand and looked at her palm. Half of her palm was covered with a layer of crystal ice.
"It's such a pity that I couldn't kill you in a sneak attack!" The black mist condensed into a ball in the air more than fifty meters away from Liang Xi, and a regretful voice came from inside.
"Who are you?" Liang Xi squinted her eyes and looked at the black fog, and then at Bai Mufeng, who seemed to have become a complete corpse on the ground.
A red light flashed in the palm, and the ice that froze half of the palm instantly turned into a white mist that steamed into the air.
Hearing Liang Xi's question, Heiwu twisted unnaturally, and then heard a weird laugh: "You ask me who I am, didn't I say it before, I am one of the eight ghost kings."
"Eight Ghost Kings?" Hearing this title again, Liang Xi felt doubtful in her heart, but her expression remained unchanged and she said, "I have never heard of it before, and I don't want to know about it."
As soon as he finished speaking, a fire blade whizzed away in his hand, splitting the air with a chirp and slashing towards the black mist.
Seeing Liang Xi suddenly taking action and not following the routine at all, Hei Wu was obviously taken aback and hurriedly hid aside.
But when the fire blade was spinning in mid-air, it suddenly became brighter, and the fiery red stream of light flashed out and cut towards the black mist like a sharp blade.
Although the black mist was in the form of a gas and could change forms at will to dodge the light, it was still swept away by the sudden flash of the fire blade, and a painful groan suddenly came from the black mist.
Amidst the dripping sound, black blood seeped out of the black mist and fell to the ground.
With a crisp sound, the fire blade cut deeply into the cliff a thousand meters away and smashed into pieces. The flames immediately spread on the cliff, looking like a spreading fiery red scroll from a distance.
"Liang Xi, you can't kill me now." Heiwu slowly squirmed, "For such a big plan before, you can guess a large part of it even if I put it forward, can't you now from the title of the Eight Great Ghost Kings?"
Can you guess anything inside?"
Hearing Hei Wu's words, Liang Xi opened her palms, and the ice blue light blade and the fiery red light blade slowly rotated in her palm. She raised her eyebrows slightly: "You mean - you are a ghost?"
She looked calm on her face, but in fact Liang Xi was extremely shocked in her heart.
If this black mist is from the ghost tribe, who is Bai Mufeng lying on the ground?
If the space-time rift has not been opened, how did the ghost people come to the human world?
If Bai Mufeng is a member of the ghost tribe, and what he said before is true, wouldn't it be true that many people in the court are not human beings now?
Thinking of this, Liang Xi felt waves of cold air rising from the soles of her feet.
Heiwu laughed strangely: "That boy Bai Mufeng is indeed an ordinary human being in your human world. I fell in love with him more than a hundred years ago and took over his body. It's really pitiful. His soul has been shared with me for nearly a hundred years."
He has a body, but he can’t talk when he’s free, and he can’t do anything when he has hands. He can only watch me use his body to do things he doesn’t want to do. It’s okay now, you can help him get rid of it.”
Seeing the strong murderous intent flashing out of Liang Xi's eyes, the black mist slowly condensed and swirled, like a small whirlpool, and the voice inside became unclear: "Liang Xi, we will do it when the time comes.
Goodbye, don’t forget my name, the Corpse Controller Xie Xian, one of the eight ghost kings in the ghost world! I’ll give you another gift before I leave!”
As his voice fell, a cloud of black air fell downwards along the branches of the bronze tree, and at the same time, his own black mist-like body seemed to have punched a hole in the air and was rapidly drilling inside.
Liang Xi snorted coldly, the ice blue light blade and the fiery red light blade in his hand suddenly surged, and the two light blades more than ten meters long suddenly roared and tore towards the black mist.
With a bang, the light blade rolled up a stormy air wave, cutting all the surrounding decayed bronze branches into pieces. However, the black mist disappeared completely with a sudden sound just when the light blade was about to touch it.
All that was left in the air was a series of eerie smiles from the corpse-controlling king Xie Xian.
Bang!
The light blade flew several thousand meters and hit a huge crater on one side of the cliff. The gravel, dust and smoke flew everywhere, and the scattered stones crashed down like a flood that burst a bank.
"In the ghost world, the corpse controller king seems to have made a big discovery this time." Liang Xi wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction when she saw Xie Xian running away.
Turning her head and looking at Bai Mufeng's body lying silently on the ground, Liang Xi finally understood why she and Qingyue were unable to detect the thoughts in the other's mind despite their mental strength.
"It turns out that Bai Mufeng's body is just an empty shell under control. No wonder he doesn't breathe. After I penetrated my spiritual power, there was no difference between the other party's body and a dead body, and his mind was naturally empty." Liang Xi put these things into perspective.
After I figured it out, I felt relieved.
But the words of the Corpse Controller Xie Xian weighed heavily on his heart like a huge boulder.
"According to what Xie Xian said, they wanted to break through the Ancient Bronze Gate to unlock the seals of the twenty-eight stars, and then take advantage of the gathering of all the cultivators in the human world during the cultivation conference to annihilate the cultivators in the human world in one fell swoop.
There are also insiders in the imperial court, and I really don’t know how many people in the imperial court are controlled by them.”
Liang Xi felt that the hairs all over her body stood up when she thought that those people in the court every day might be corpses controlled by human beings.
"The reason for summoning all the cultivators in the name of the cultivation conference is indeed flawless, and it will not arouse others' suspicion at all. It is really insidious." Liang Xi gritted her teeth, and was very glad that she could know the other party's conspiracy in advance.
.
"But the ghost clan has appeared in the human world, so people from the Shura world and the Chaos world should have also sneaked in!" Liang Xi's heart suddenly thought of the huge spiders and two-headed ancestors that were all over the sky on the day Taoist Qingmu came out of seclusion.
"I don't know how many foreign races have infiltrated into the human world now. The space-time rift is likely to open this year. Is it really possible to avoid another melee in the seven realms?"
Liang Xi's wish is just to keep the people around him safe, and the life and death of others has little to do with him.
But now, he has a feeling that he is gradually being dragged into this quagmire.
"Fortunately, I have been getting stronger. I hope everything is still in time. Is this set of fire magic spells another set of secret skills of Emperor Ziwei besides tidal flow?" Liang Xi looked at the flickering light in her palm.
The bright red light blade, the name of this set of spells came to mind, "Red Flame Lihuo Knife?"
"Huh?" Liang Xi was looking at the light blade in her palm, and she suddenly saw some changes in Bai Mufeng's body not far away from the corner of her eyes. Wisps of white smoke were swirling from his body.
