Chapter 962: Escape and Mutation
wards Shi Qing's abdomen. He was a storm among the younger generation of disciples in the Black Tiger Gang, but he couldn't even withstand ten moves from this man. This humiliation must be returned to...Hua Yingfu glanced at Lu Qing. Seeing Lu Qing's icy demeanor, she sighed inwardly. Ever since the battle at Tianjian Mountain, Lu Xia Tian had once again become a renowned figure in Wangyue. After forming an elixir core, he had killed Jie Wuy, the leader of the Jie Sheng Jiao, which had earned him quite a reputation among Yuan Ying cultivators.
As for Lu Xia Tian's exploits, let alone those low-ranking cultivators who relish in tales of them, even we, Yuan Ying cultivators, are no strangers to them.
The two people who originally had high hopes of getting together are now, I'm afraid, drifting further and further apart. Lady Hua Ying also feels some envy towards Luo Qing. If she hadn't met that unfaithful man, perhaps she would be like Luo Qing and not still be alone to this day.
Having put aside these thoughts, Lady Hua Ying let out a light chide and her jade hairpin split in two. One branch was directed at the white-shadowed female ghost, while the other shot towards the black band with golden characters ghost king.
At the same time, Lady Hua Ying was also closely watching Lu Xia Tian's side. The two of them were fighting farther and farther apart. Lu Xia Tian actually withstood the mid-Ghost King level monster with a human head and snake body, and for a while, he didn't fall behind. She couldn't help but be secretly amazed. When Lu Xia Tian fought against the Ku Yuan Ghost King before, she had never witnessed it with her own eyes. After the fact, there were always all sorts of speculations. Only now did she get to see Lu Xia Tian's skills.
Seeing that Lu Xiaoteng was holding his own, Hua Yingfu felt at ease. That man-headed serpent creature wasn't simple, but if Lu Xiaoteng had confidence in stopping him, she didn't need to worry. With her and Luo Qing teaming up, they had dealt with the Black Belt Golden Character Ghost King, who was weaker than them. Now that their hands were free, even that man-headed serpent creature wouldn't be able to turn the sky upside down.
A monstrous creature with a human head and snake body appeared. Surrounded by the eerie sounds of ghostly waters from the netherworld, waves crashed toward Xiaotian in a terrifying display of power.
A multitude of grotesque ghouls with ferocious visages writhed in the water and shot towards Xiao Tian.
Lu Xia Tian felt the astonishing corrosiveness of the Yin River, not daring to be careless in the slightest. He hurriedly unleashed his Fan Luo Spirit Fire, protecting himself from head to toe.
The hilt of the sword, transformed from a blade embryo, battled with the demonic creature. At this moment, he was not in a hurry to defeat it. He waited for Madam Hua Ying and Luo Qing to finish dealing with the other ghost king, so that all three could join forces to eliminate the creature before him. It would be an arduous battle if he fought alone. Since someone was available to assist him, why should he exhaust himself battling this demonic entity
The humanoid snake-bodied apparition let out a cold, chilling voice. With a roar, six rotting corpses suddenly emerged from the swirling abyssal water of the Underworld River, their feet treading on the dark waters as they encircled Lu Xia Tian, leaving no blind spots.
Lu Xiaitian frowned. This creature, with a human head and snake body, was not only repulsive in appearance but also used such despicable tactics.
At this moment, Lu Xia Tian stretched out his palm, and two large azure-colored fire phoenixes with a touch of crimson flew out. They were the fire phoenix phantom spirits that Lu Xia Tian had refined before.
>
Two fire phoenixes let out a clear cry, one after the other. Their wings beat, and with a sharp motion, their feathers transformed into countless arrow-like projectiles, flying toward the six decaying corpses.
Wow, the Underworld's silk-like water formed a wall of water to block the Corpse's attack.
A flying sword slashed through the water wall.
Ding ding ding, before anyone could react, the serpent demon's body was further bombarded by a flurry of luan feathers. The ghostly miasma emanating from the decaying corpses surged towards the enveloping luan feathers.
But before these vapors could react, the Luan feathers ignited, transforming into flames that were azure with a hint of purplish red. The corpses hissed and sizzled as they burned.
A corpse feels no pain and remains completely unresponsive, nothing can save them. However, the first serpent-bodied ghost was visibly distressed by this sight. These corpses had been soaking in the murky water for over two centuries and hadn't even been used a few times before suffering such severe damage. If this happened a few more times, they would likely be completely destroyed.
“Down you go.” The man-headed, serpent-bodied demon let out a cold snort. The six charred corpses fell into the dark water of the Nether River. The spiritual fire was engulfed by the massive amount of Nether River water. Although there was a sizzling sound inside, it was no use. The Nether River water was too vast. It couldn't last even a few breaths before vanishing without a trace in the murky depths.
“This won’t do, I can’t be dragged down by this kid! Although his cultivation base and magical power aren’t as strong as mine, his skills are incredibly refined. His swordsmanship is sharp, but manageable. The most frustrating thing is that my most relied-upon Yinstream Water has been completely suppressed by his Vermillion Lotus Fire. I can’t get close to him, let alone use water against him to kill him.”
"And those six corpses were also badly wounded, although they still had a couple of tricks up their sleeves, they couldn't use them lightly. What if this kid held himself back, and the other two women, along with that Green-spotted Flying Serpent after finishing the fight, surrounded him Then he would be in real trouble."
If he were to face several cultivators at the nascent soul stage, he wouldn't bat an eyelid. However, this silver-haired boy possesses the Blazing Luo spirit fire that keeps his Yin River Profound Water at bay. With him holding back one of them, the two female cultivators on either side launch a relentless assault. Even if they don't kill him, it will be a difficult fight to handle.
The man-headed, snake-bodied creature was deep in thought when a scream pierced the air. It turned its gaze to see a sword light had already pierced through the ancient seal character on the forehead of the Black Band Golden Character Ghost King. A plume of smoke emerged from the ghost king's body, and it plummeted downward. A ghost infant, about a foot tall, fled in terror towards the northwest.
Lady Hua Ying extended a finger, pointing into the void. A green net appeared out of thin air, trapping the ghost infant within it. Before it could react, a sword arc flashed, cleaving the ghost infant in two.
The infant ghost let out a terrifying shriek, exploded in mid-air, and vanished without a trace.
After slaying the ghost king, Luo Qing raised his sword and sent several sword beams toward the human-headed, snake-bodied ghost. Madam Hua Ying and the Green Spotted Flying Snake also surrounded it from another direction.
>
"Don't get too close, that black water is extremely sticky and there are still ghost maggots in it." Lu Xia Tian hurriedly transmitted his voice to the two of them.
The snake-headed ghost let out a cold laugh, its black coils unfurling, and dark, churning waters of the underworld surged toward Lady Hua Ying and the Green Blotched Flying Serpent.
Upon receiving Lu Xia Tian's reminder, Hua Ying fu quickly dodged out of the way. Even that green-spotted flying snake had a look of apprehension in its eyes.
A creature with a human head and a serpent's body, taking advantage of the opportunity, slipped out of the encirclement.
The direction the man-headed serpent escaped was precisely where spiritual energy resided, mixed with a small number of ghost clans and areas where demonic energy erupted. They had just passed over it when suddenly, a deafening bellow of a cow and a startled cry from a cultivator came from within.
In the distance, a plume of white smoke billowed into the sky. A young man in white robes emerged from it, his face filled with panic.
A deep, heavy bellow from the ox shook the air like a drum. Lu Xiaoteng's vision went black for a moment, but his powerful soul quickly recovered. However, Luo Qing and Madam Huaying trembled, almost losing their balance in mid-air.
“Wake up!” Luo Qing and Hua Yingfu awoke with bewildered expressions, their ears perked at a clear and pleasant voice. It was Lu Xia Tian using his cultivated Buddhist mantra of calming the heart to awaken the two.
Luo Qing and Madam Hua Ying reacted, their faces full of astonishment. Lu Xiaotian's face also wore a look of surprise.d shrewd monsters. 。Some are from the outside world, and in the end, their souls sink into oblivion, becoming tomb spirits. 。As for the rest, they were Lu Xia Tian and these other outsiders with clear...
