Two hundred and ninety-first beheading the ghost king
The five blood skeletons were chased by the Jade Flame Needle and jumped over the wall. The huge jaws of the two blood skeletons suddenly opened and bit the Jade Flame Needle in an instant.
The remaining three blood skeletons turned into two streams of blood fire and slammed into the Purple Qi Xuan Gang. They actually dispersed the Purple Qi Xuan Gang and broke through Zhang Zhixuan's protection.
In an instant, waves of purple energy were inhaled into the Dantian, causing Zhang Zhixuan to feel bursts of pain in the Dantian.
The Purple Qi Xuangang was breached, and the upper Dantian was slightly injured. Zhang Zhixuan could no longer use the Purple Qi spell for at least a year and a half.
After all, he is a ghost king level master and is protected by tens of thousands of ghost troops.
Taking advantage of the location of Torrent Mountain, it will definitely not be easy to deal with.
Without the use of the Purple Yang Sky Fire Talisman, Zhang Zhixuan is far from being the opponent of the Ghost King.
If there were only Zhang Zhixuan Qingchan and his wife, they would probably suffer a secret loss, and they might not be able to defeat tens of thousands of ghost cultivators. They might even suffer a huge defeat.
Although low-level monks are far from being the opponents of high-level monks, once the number is sufficient, the ants will bite the elephants to death and the high-level monks will feel uncomfortable.
If a Golden Core monk has tens of thousands of low-level monks under his command to form a formation, he can still stop him in a short time even if he faces a Nascent Soul monk.
However, in addition to the two of them, Ziyang Sect also came to over 200 monks.
These more than 200 monks are all well-established people, and the lowest ones are at the foundation-building stage. Under the leadership of Xia Youqing, they have already entered the Riptide Mountain Ghost Army.
Xia Youqing, Han Yan, Tang Fenglan, Nie Xingyuan, and You Nianwei are all monks in the middle stage of Jindan or above. Behind Li Lingxiu, Zhang Sihong, Tang Yisheng, Wang Chengxiang and others, there are also a large number of Zifu and foundation building masters.
The combined strength of this group of monks is not weaker than that of Chen Yunfeng, the Nascent Soul of the Dharma Body. With them restrained, the ghost army in Riliu Mountain will not be able to take action.
More than two hundred monks held formation flags and continuously emitted golden thunder and flame spells.
They formed a sixth-level formation of the God of Fire and Thunder, which pierced deep into the blood cloud like a sharp arrow.
There are only five golden elixir ghost cultivators in Riliu Mountain. Although there are many ghost troops, their actual combat power is still not as good as the many masters of Ziyang Sect.
In terms of the number of Jindan Zifu, the number of Ziyang Sect monks is slightly exceeded. Especially the number of Danjie monks is about twice that of ghost cultivators.
Moreover, the ghost army is not good at formations, and their intelligence is far from enough. The military formations formed are quite crude, almost equivalent to the chaos of demon cultivators.
Even if they fight alone, monsters and ghost cultivators are often not as good as monks of the same level.
Especially Xia Youqing, Tang Fenglan, and Han Yan, like three arrows, pierced the inside of the ghost army at once.
Xia Youqing and Tang Fenglan are both late-stage Jindan cultivators, and ordinary ghost cultivators are no match for them.
Han Yan's cultivation level is slightly lower, but he has two fifth-level puppet beasts on his body.
After Zhang Zhixuan broke through the ninth level of the golden elixir, the puppet beasts on him could no longer help much, so he left the white crane and giant ape puppets to Han Yan, who passed his green wolf puppet to Sihong.
The White Crane Puppet is already in the middle of the fifth level, and it is still a puppet beast that can fly. This puppet beast is constantly swimming in the air, spitting out beams of light from its mouth, and can kill some low-level ghosts with every attack.
Hundreds of sword lights pierced into the blood cloud in an instant, and the color of the sky and the earth changed in an instant. The sword light circled and danced in the air, turning into a sharp arrow. Every time it cut into the blood cloud, it would kill many low-level ghost cultivators.
Low-level ghost cultivators have no thinking. Once controlled by a ghost king-level master, they will not be afraid of life and death and will never give up until the last person standing.
Low-level monsters are just stupid, while ghost cultivators don't even have any intelligence at all.
From this point of view, fighting ghost cultivators may be more difficult than monsters.
Going deep into the ghost army, the Ziyang Sect monks also began to suffer casualties. In just one fight, more than ten foundation builders died at the hands of tens of thousands of ghost troops.
It has been eighty years since the establishment of the Ziyang Sect. In the past eighty years, except for the battle against Yang Xuanzhen, the monks of the Ziyang Sect have rarely participated in battles.
Without war, the experience of fighting is naturally insufficient, and the pressure of bearing casualties is far from enough.
Seeing the death of their companions who had been with them day and night, some monks who had just established their foundations suddenly found it unbearable.
Several foundation-building monks were so frightened by the army of ghost cultivators that they even wanted to escape quietly.
"Unfamiliar white-eyed wolf!" Xia Youqing, who was commanding many monks, was anxious and angry. He no longer hesitated, and immediately used the flying sword in his hand to kill the three foundation-building monks who wanted to escape.
"Whoever dares to take a step back will be executed immediately. The family members of the sect will also be held accountable. They are not allowed to ascend to immortality within three generations, and the disciples of the family are not allowed to take Ziyang Pill, Foundation Establishment Pill and other breakthrough spiritual substances."
Killing chickens to scare monkeys is the first way to maintain discipline. Xia Youqing suddenly made a difficult move, which immediately made many monks understand the current situation clearly.
With powerful golden elixir monks suppressing the formation, it is impossible to escape easily. Even if you can successfully escape, you will be severely investigated by the sect after you return, unless you never leave the Netherworld for the rest of your life.
Even masters at the Nascent Soul stage would find it difficult to survive in the Netherworld. Nascent Soul monks also need assistance from outside forces to explore the Netherworld.
After all, a person alone cannot be an opponent of the army of ghost cultivators. Only by cultivating to the realm of Yuanshen can he live permanently in the land of the netherworld.
Under Xia Youqing's harsh treatment, the formation of the Ziyang Sect monks stabilized and gradually began to gain the upper hand.
In terms of strength, their power is far beyond that.
In particular, Xia Youqing and Tang Fenglan killed two pill-forming ghost cultivators in a short period of time. Han Yan alone, relying on two puppet beasts, also contained the remaining three pill-forming ghost cultivators.
The golden elixir stage monk freed up his hands and killed the low-level ghost cultivators like chopping melons and vegetables.
In just half an hour, the number of ghost cultivators was reduced by half, and the bloody clouds could no longer cover the top of Torrent Mountain.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, the Ghost King saw a crushing defeat, and immediately abandoned the ghost army under his command, turned into a faint white smoke and chose to escape.
But Zhang Zhixuan and his wife had already reached this stage.
When Qing Chan saw that the Ghost King of Riliu Mountain was at the end of his crossbow, he immediately lost his strength and the magic power in his body poured into the Ziyang Palace Lantern crazily.
It was as if a large amount of boiling oil had been added to the purple sea of fire, and the volume surged about three times in an instant.
The sea of fire surged twenty to thirty miles in an instant, wrapping the Ghost King of Torrent Mountain into the interior of the sea of fire.
The Purple Sun Heavenly Fire temporarily enveloped the Ghost King, and Qingchan immediately used the Soul Killing Bell. The sharp and piercing bells rang in the Ghost King's ears, giving the Nascent Soul stage ghost cultivator a splitting headache and unable to maintain his soul body.
.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Ghost King released white light from the white crystal between his eyebrows, turning into a dazzling ball of light, and then blocked the Soul Killing Bell's attack.
Qing Chan trapped the Ghost King, so Zhang Zhixuan naturally wanted to beat up the drowned dog.
He spit out the pure yang true fire in his body and wrapped the green flame needle with the pure yang true fire that had been refined for many years. Then he spit out his magic power, and the green flame needle pierced into the white light ball like lightning in an instant.
Attacked by the Pure Yang True Fire, the Riptide Mountain Ghost King was immediately besieged internally and externally. It reluctantly mobilized the power of the Heavenly Soul Crystal to suppress the Pure Yang True Fire. Qing Chan's attack was about to come, and he could hardly hold on for long before he was killed by Zhang Zhixuan.
