The next section of the road will be quite easy. As long as you don't encounter the ghost king level, even the top ghost generals remaining will not be the opponent of Emperor Zhanwu.
However, the longer the group marched, the more powerful the enemies they encountered became stronger. After an hour, almost no one they encountered was weaker than the ghost generals, and there was a faint kingly energy rising in front of them.
Fortunately, at this time, Shi Chishang finally adapted to the environment here. As a result, they naturally became several times more sensitive. Once they noticed that there was a ghost king in front of them, they would immediately and carefully avoid it.
Shi Chishang didn't expect that just the way to the ghost world would be such a hassle. After setting off from Fengdu Ghost City, they spent three days. After continuously bypassing dozens of ghost kings, they finally arrived at Fengdu Cave Heaven and the Ghost World. channel of the world.
I thought there would be some powerful ghost here, but when Shi Chishang and the others arrived, they found that there was actually a stone castle here, and a large number of ghost monks from the Xuanyuan family were stationed in it.
After talking to the guard at the door, Shi Chishang learned that the Xuanyuan family had set up this stone castle a hundred years ago in order to ensure that there would not be too many ghosts in this passage, and monks would come to garrison it regularly.
Shi Chishang was speechless after learning about it. Xuanyuan Yun must have known about it, but it turned out that this woman was too outrageous, and she didn't even say a word to him.
After interrogation, Shi Chishang also successfully entered the stone castle. Under the leadership of the guards, he finally saw the passage to the ghost world.
This is an extremely huge empty door. The irregular-shaped door frame is made of Yin Qi rocks. The door seems empty, as if there is nothing. However, after Shi Chishang used his mind to explore it, he found that the door is deep and vast, as if leading to A vast world of nothingness.
Seeing Shi Chishang sizing up the empty door, the guard who brought him over smiled and said, "It seems like there is nothing inside this door, but as long as you pass through this door, you will enter the ghost world."
As he spoke, the guard handed over a token: "Although this door leads to the ghost world, its location in the ghost world is not fixed. You must be careful."
Shi Chishang raised his eyebrows: "Is this a one-way teleportation array?"
"You can say that," the guard shrugged, "By the way, if you want to come back, you need to go back to the place where you entered the ghost world and activate this token."
After taking the token, Shi Chishang looked at it for a few times, put it away, nodded and said, "Thank you."
The guard smiled: "No, our eldest lady has summoned him before. Otherwise, if it had been someone else, it would not have been so easy for him to go to the ghost world."
Shi Chishang nodded lightly. Under the other party's guidance, he first took Niu Sanshan and the others back to the soul palace, and then quickly walked into the empty door with the token.
The moment he stepped into the empty door, he suddenly felt that the space he was in was distorted, sometimes upside down, sometimes distorted. It was as if he was reflected on a piece of paper that was constantly being rubbed, and his thoughts were violently confused.
I don't know how much time passed until the surroundings returned to calm. Shi Chishang was shocked to realize that he had appeared on a mountain peak. Before he had time to observe his surroundings, the ghostly aura around him was so rich that it almost condensed into liquid, which made him breathe quickly. At the same time, He seemed to have broken free from some kind of restraint, and his soul power and thoughts were violently agitated, as if they were trying to push him to a higher realm.
Feeling something was wrong, Shi Chishang quickly released Niu Sanshan and the others, and at the same time used his mental skills to calm down the abnormality in the soul palace with all his strength.
After more than an hour, Shi Chishang finally calmed down his soul power and thoughts. At this time, he also adapted to the environment of the ghost world. The ghost energy as rich as condensation enveloped his body, and after the purification of the soul, , repeating the process of absorption and discharge.
The human world has a sky that can suppress the cultivator's skills, but the ghost world does not. Therefore, Shi Chi Shang entered the ghost world just now. Because the long-term suppression suddenly disappeared, a rebound-type skill burst occurred. If he had not been limited by Without the water of the Styx, there is no way to break through, and there is no way to control the power so easily.
Slowly exhaling a breath of turbid air, Shi Chishang stood up and turned his head to observe his surroundings.
The place where he entered the ghost world was in a mountain range, and the peak he was on at the moment was the highest one in the mountain range, so standing on the top of the mountain, he could basically have a panoramic view of the entire mountain range.
Although the fog in the mountains was extremely thick, with the help of Ma Hanxue, Shi Chishang still scanned more than a dozen large and small peaks around him with his mind. Compared with the road before entering the ghost world, here The number of ghosts has been significantly reduced, and the total number of ghosts on more than a dozen peaks is only a hundred or so.
Shi Chishang breathed a sigh of relief. Since the place where he entered the ghost world could not be fixed, what he was most afraid of was bumping into the ghost king, ghost emperor, and ghost emperor as soon as he came there. Fortunately, it seemed that the place where he landed was still very safe.
After pondering for a moment, Shi Chishang said: "Find the nearby Styx first!"
Niu Sanshan hummed and pointed in a direction: "Over there."
"Let's go!" Shi Chishang smiled and walked down the mountain. Although this was his first time here, as native creatures of the ghost world, Niu Sanshan and the others were extremely sensitive to the Styx. After going down the mountain, they walked less than five minutes. Minutes later, a river several meters wide was seen.
Shi Chishang currently knows three ways to draw water from the Styx River, two of which are derived from the "Soul Forging Chapter" and the Nether Bone Sword Scripture, and the last one was learned from Ma Hanxue.
Each of these methods has its own advantages and disadvantages, but if we say the most comprehensive and suitable method, it is undoubtedly the method of "Soul Forging".
Signaling Emperor Zhanwu and the others to help guard, Shi Chishang came to the river.
Although it was just a branch of the Styx River that had been diverted countless times, when Chi Shang looked directly at the river, he still felt a breath of silence coming towards his face.
This seems to be not a river, but a vast universe, which contains the souls, skills, treasures, and treasures left by countless creatures who have slept and died in the Styx since the dawn of time. These things are captured by the Styx. Tolerance and digestion constitute the characteristics of the River Styx that are both endlessly silent and complex.
After standing quietly for a while, Shi Chi Shang sat down cross-legged and started running "Soul Forging Chapter".
The moment his thoughts touched the surface of the river, the quiet atmosphere that was originally just like a tidal wave suddenly became violent and crazy. In a trance, the calm river in front of him turned into the majestic waves of a tsunami, bringing together countless things from the past and the present. The vast pressure of Cheng will completely kill him, a creature that dares to offend the Styx.
Fortunately, Shi Chishang had already started the "Soul Forging Chapter", and the illusion that directly affected the mind only existed for a moment before it shattered like a bubble, and the river water had followed his thoughts and turned into strands of water. The clear water flowed into his soul.
As the Styx water continued to enter the soul house and submerged into Shi Chi Shang's soul body, the platinum plastic body, like a sculpture, gradually changed. It was no longer as hard as before, and slowly relaxed, as if The transformation of steel into human muscle.
While Shi Chishang continued to draw water from the Styx to temper his soul, Niu Sanshan and the others were always vigilant. After all, Shi Chishang came to the ghost world for the water from the Styx, and tempering his soul was quite dangerous. Being impacted can easily cause the Styx water entering the soul palace to lose control, thereby injuring the soul body.
But just when they were on guard, a rapid sound of breaking through the air suddenly came from the upper reaches of the river. Immediately, Emperor Zhanwu and others felt their hearts tremble. They turned their heads and looked over, and saw a woman in black walking quickly from upstream. Looking over, just by looking at her weak aura, one could tell that this woman had been seriously injured.
Although this person seemed to have been seriously injured, Zhan Wudi and the others still did not relax at all. Niu Sanshan took out his thunder hammer, took two steps forward with wide eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Don't come here, get out of here." !”
Seeing the people here, the woman in black was stunned, but just as she was about to speak, her face suddenly turned red, she spat out a mouthful of blood, staggered a few steps, and fell down in front of the people.
"Is it a living person?" Zang Wuchang was surprised when he saw this.
With such a commotion, Shi Chishang had to temporarily stop his exercise. He turned around and saw the unconscious woman. He frowned. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from upstream. In that formation, I'm afraid there are not a few people coming.
Thoughts whirling around, Shi Chishang suddenly looked at Ma Hanxue. The latter knew what he meant and had no choice but to move the woman aside, and then used an illusion to cover it up.
He had just finished these things when a dozen knights appeared upstream. They were wearing pitch black armor and had steel swords on their waists. Although they looked alive, judging from the strong death aura on their bodies, it was obvious that they were alive. They are all ghosts.
The mounts of these knights were all pure white bone horses. After appearing from the upstream, they galloped all the way and arrived in front of several people in a short time.
After looking at them for a few times, the leading knight suddenly said in a hoarse voice: "Horse face, bull head, zombie, human race, what a strange combination. Where are you from?"
The strength of these knights is not considered strong, and the strongest leader is only a top ghost general, so Shi Chishang and the others are not worried at all, Ma Hanxue sniffed: "Of course they are from the Xuanming River Basin. "
The horse-faced tribe, the bull-headed tribe, and the zombie tribe are known as the three powerful tribes in the ghost world. Although these knights are backed by mountains, they dare not provoke these three powerful tribes at will. So he thought about it and did not continue to ask about their origins. Asked: "Have you seen a human woman in black clothes?"
"I saw it, let's go over there." Ma Hanxue nodded and pointed in one direction.
The knight turned his head to look in that direction, then suddenly turned back, his voice a bit cold: "We have also set up a blockade there. She knows it. It is impossible to escape there. You are lying."
"So what if you lie?" Emperor Zhanwu waited patiently for a long time. At this moment, he raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "We have nothing to do with that woman, get out of here!"
The knight showed anger when he heard this, but because of their identities, he had to suppress his anger: "I'm sorry, that woman is a repeat offender of our court. Even if you are from the three powerful clans, we still have to..."
"Kill them!"
Suddenly, Shi Chishang let out a cold shout. While Ma Hanxue and others were still in a daze, Zhan Wudi and Niu Sanshan had already jumped out together. The former waved his golden mace, and the latter swung his thunder hammer. With one blow, Except for the top knight commander who was the top ghost general who survived, the other dozen or so knights who were no more than ghost soldiers had all disappeared.
After being hit by the combined attack of Emperor Zangwu and Niu Sanshan, the knight commander's body was greatly shaken, and the bones of the horse beneath him had already shattered into powder. He staggered after landing, and narrowly pulled out the steel sword to stabilize his body.
Clang! Almost at the moment when the knight commander stood firm, Shi Chishang suddenly used the Evil Heart Sword and slashed it out in the distance. The bright sword light cut through the void, which was mixed with the five powers of disaster, killing, Taixu, Taiyin and Sun, making the sword Not only was the speed of the light astonishing, like a fleeting light, but its lethality increased exponentially, especially the power of the disaster. Before it hit, the knight commander was already covered in bad luck, and his body collapsed, almost to the point of collapse.
The sword light flashed across, and the knight commander's soul, which had been tempered to a solid state, instantly shattered and turned into countless yin energy that spilled out.
