With Shi Chishang officially creating the Styx Death Sword Technique, the strength of their team has increased countless times compared to when they first entered the ghost world.
Shi Chishang has already broken through to the middle stage of the Soul Tribulation. Both Zhan Wudi and Zhan Wu Chang are intermediate ghost kings. Niu Sanshan and Ma Hanxue have also reached the junior ghost king level after refining the companion energy with their blood, not to mention the black blade. This top ghost king.
Recalling that when they first entered the ghost world, the strongest one was Shi Chishang, a late-stage body sculptor. How could you have imagined that in just a few months, they and their group had improved to this point.
When Shi Chishang stood up, Ma Hanxue and others came to greet him. Emperor Zhanwu walked in the front without saying much. He held the golden mace tightly with his five fingers and said in a deep voice: "Try it!"
"Okay!" Shi Chishang started his sword technique and wanted to test its power. The sword soul unfolded, enveloping the surrounding ghost energy, and condensed into a sword soul in his hand. He aimed at Emperor Zhanwu and struck out with his sword.
The sword edge was drawn out, and the projection of the underworld appeared behind Shi Chishang. The turbulent sea surged up and crazily poured the sword soul into his hand, causing everything in front of the sword tip to die quickly, and even the space appeared. Signs of disintegration.
Emperor Zhanwu, who was in front of the sword soul, undoubtedly felt it more deeply. The sword soul was crystal clear and flawless. It looked like a work of art, but the power of death contained in it was such that even a zombie would feel his scalp numb, and he swung it without thinking. Using the golden mace, the purple gold dragon energy was activated. When the roar of the dragon shocked the sky, the golden mace turned into an afterimage and struck out.
Clang! The moment the sword soul and the golden mace collided, the tiger's mouth was heated. The golden mace flew out of his hand in an instant, and the purple gold dragon energy that was originally blessed on the mace exploded. If it hadn't been for Shi Chi, Shang turned his wrist in time, causing the sword to pass by his side. He was afraid that Emperor Zhanwu had already been pierced through the chest by Shi Chi Shang's sword.
After retreating for more than ten steps before standing still, Emperor Zhanwu stared blankly at his still trembling right hand, his consciousness almost blank. He never expected that after comprehending the Soul Dao and breaking through to the Intermediate Ghost Queen, he and Shi Chi Shang would The gap between them was so huge that they couldn't even catch the opponent's sword.
At this time, Shi Chishang was frowning and looking at his right arm. Starting from the palm of his hand and ending just below his shoulder, the skin of his entire arm was in a withered and loose state, like tree bark. Although it was said that After running his soul path, his skin was slowly regaining its flexibility, but he could clearly feel that the vitality of his entire arm was a little less than before.
After a long silence, Shi Chishang smiled bitterly and shook his head. His cultivation was still too weak. At least for now, he could not completely resist the erosion of the projection of the underworld. It seems that he should use his sword skill as little as possible, otherwise If it happens too many times, I am afraid that it will be completely eroded by the projection of the underworld, and the body will die and the soul will disappear.
After dispersing the sword soul, Shi Chishang looked at the still somewhat lost Emperor Zhan Wu, and raised his sword eyebrows: "Wudi!"
Hearing him calling him, Emperor Zhanwu looked over subconsciously. Shi Chishang suddenly struck with another sword. This time, it was not the Styx swordsmanship, but the Starlight swordsmanship that had reached the Taixu realm.
Shi Chishang could only swing his sword, and Emperor Zhanwu suddenly felt a sword strike out of thin air in front of him. Since he had no weapon, he raised his hand and punched almost instinctively. The Purple Gold Dragon Qi was like a giant dragon rushing, and with that sword The sword energy that came straight across the space collided with each other and exploded into a turbulent air wave.
With a shake of his hand, Shi Chishang dispersed the sword spirit and said calmly: "For the first sword, I borrowed the power of the Nether Sea projection. Even if you have the Purple Gold Dragon Qi in you, you are naturally no match. However, the Nether Sea projection is against My erosion force is too strong, and I can’t use it too much, do you understand?”
"Is this consolation?" Ma Hanxue whispered to Niu Sanshan, while Niu Sanshan shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand.
Emperor Zhanwu was also stunned, looking at Shi Chishang, and after a long while he suddenly sneered: "Who am I, Emperor Zhanwu, do I need others to comfort me?"
Seeing that Emperor Zhanwu actually regained his fighting spirit, Ma's eyes widened with sweat and he murmured: "It's really good!"
Regardless of this small sparring session, the few of them practiced for a while, and after thoroughly consolidating their cultivation, they also set off together and rushed back to Wanming Town. They have been out for three months, and they don’t know what is going on in Yinlong Gorge. .
The journey back was uneventful. With their current cultivation levels, unless they met the Ghost Emperor, even if they were at the Ghost Emperor level, they could easily get away with Shi Chishang's current speed.
After several people returned to Wangming Town, Shi Chishang took several people back to the inn and saw that Wang Xialin was not there, but the note he had left before was no longer there.
"That woman must have read your message, but she didn't leave a letter? What does that mean?" Niu Sanshan asked confused.
"Maybe Sister Xia Lin has other things to do and leaves first?" Zang Wuchang said hesitantly.
Shi Chishang pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Forget it, leave her alone, let's go to Yinlong Gorge first."
At this time, the top ghost king among the human Yin spirits in the town suddenly came to the inn and said with a smile: "Brother Shi, you are back."
"Brother Mo," Shi Chishang nodded and asked, "do you know where the woman with us has gone?"
"You mean Miss Wang?" The top ghost king was stunned and replied, "She came back shortly after you left, but she left again that day."
"Did she say where she went?" Shi Chishang asked.
The top ghost king shook his head: "I don't know, she didn't tell me, I thought you knew."
Shi Chishang nodded slightly and said, "Ignore her, has there been any movement in Yinlong Gorge recently?"
"That's why I came to you," the top ghost king said solemnly, "A few hours ago, some tribesmen came back and said that there seemed to be strong men fighting in the Yinlong Gorge. The power was so powerful that most of the Yinlong Gorge collapsed. They didn’t dare to get close and ran back immediately to report the news.”
Black Blade's eyes lit up and he said: "Master, my friend said before that the Yin Dragon was summoning his subordinates. It seems that he has provoked some enemies and was beaten to the door."
Shi Chishang pondered for a moment and said solemnly: "Let's go and take a look."
"I'll come with you!" the top ghost king suddenly said.
Seeing Shi Chi Shang's surprised look, the top ghost king smiled and said: "I am also a top ghost king after all. Although I can't offend the Yin Dragon, it doesn't hurt to go and have a look."
Without much persuasion, Shi Chishang took Niu Sanshan and the others out of the inn. The top ghost king also took out a messenger, summoned several ghost kings and spirits in the town, and rushed to Yinlong Gorge with Shi Chishang and the others.
The top ghost king's name is Mo Ling. He was a monk in the human world during his lifetime. After his death, due to some strange combination of circumstances, he did not reincarnate. Instead, he retained his memory and entered the ghost world. It was also his good luck that he happened to land in this area where the highest level of strength was not higher than the ghost king's level. If he were transferred to the hinterland of top powers such as the Cambrian Dynasty, he would probably not survive for a few days.
The several ghost kings he summoned were all Yin spirits who had lived in the town for many years. They retained the memories of when they were still alive and could suppress the negative energy in their bodies. They would not kill wantonly like those Yin beasts.
The group left the town and after flying for a while, they saw an endless mountain range in the distance. After Ma Hanxue's guidance, Shi Chishang knew that it was Yinlong Gorge.
Most of the mountains outside Yinlong Gorge are short and long, not high, but extremely long and curved in width. They guard the middle canyon. It is probably the residence of the ghost emperor Yinlong.
Not only is the concentration of Yin energy in the Yinlong Gorge far greater than that in the outside world, but there is also a bit of dragon power permeating the air. Even though Shichi Shang is pregnant with the soul, he still can't help but feel a little tight in the chest, not to mention the other Yin Spirit Ghost Kings. Niu Sanshan and the others had strong blood, so they were not affected much.
A few people didn't dare to break in without permission, they just stopped on the outside and observed for a while.
Mo Ling looked at it for a long time and said: "It seems that the news is correct. There is indeed a battle here, and the ground is full of corpses of Yin beasts."
Shi Chishang nodded. He also saw the skeletons of Yin beasts that could be seen everywhere in the mountains, but the wounds on the skeletons seemed to be different. Some looked like being slashed with knives, some looked like being burned, and some corpses had obviously been hit hard. He was shocked to death.
"It's the Five Elements Technique!" Zang Wuchang stared at it for a moment and suddenly said crisply.
She has the origin of black and white, and is also involved in the five elements. She was the first to discover the cause of those injuries.
Shi Chishang frowned. If he was talking about Five Elements magic, the Taoist sect would undoubtedly be the first thing that comes to mind. Could it be that the Taoist sect knew that he had come to the ghost world and sent someone to track him down?
But the ghost world is so big, and he was teleported randomly at that time, how could the Taoist sect find him?
Just when Chi Shang was puzzled, Mo Ling hesitated and said, "Brother Shi, what do you think? Should we go in and take a look?"
Hearing this, Shi Chishang looked deep into the mountains again and frowned: "There is no movement now. It seems that the war is over. It can have such a big impact. I guess the intensity of the battle will not be too low. In this way, I will go in first." Look, you guys are waiting for my news.”
Seeing several people nodding, Shi Chishang used Taixu's method, and his figure disappeared in an instant, turning into a blurry and hard-to-see distortion and escaped into Yinlong Gorge.
After escaping into the mountains, Shi Chishang did not dare to go inside immediately. Instead, he walked around the outside a few times and saw that there were corpses of Yin beasts everywhere, and there was not a single living Yin beast, so he slowly dived inside.
After a long time, Shi Chishang finally approached the canyon inside the mountain range. The Yin Qi here was several times denser than the outside. However, with his Soul Dao, he was keenly aware that there were several clusters of ghostly Qi spreading crazily in the canyon. , it is obvious that a top powerhouse has fallen here, and the ghost energy in his body is overflowing.
With a shiver in his heart, Shi Chishang maintained the Taixu method and quietly came outside the canyon. He looked inside and saw that the ground was covered with devastation, ravines, scorched earth, and frost could be seen everywhere, as well as several groups that were twisting around. The ghostly spirit overflowing from below.
But none of these attracted Shi Chishang's attention. His eyes were completely fixed on a huge Yin dragon skeleton in the middle of the canyon. Even though he thought he was no longer a rookie, when he saw the skeleton, he still felt... It was difficult to suppress the horror in my heart.
It was obviously the skeleton of an Eastern dragon, no less than 10,000 meters tall from head to tail. From Shi Chishang's perspective, the dragon's head facing him was as high as a mountain, and its horns were as sharp and cold as spears. The body is winding and winding, leading straight to the end of the canyon. Looking from a distance, the dragon's tail is blurry and indistinct, and cannot be seen clearly at all.
Looking at the Yin dragon skeleton in shock, Shi Chi Shang took a long time to calm down the waves in his heart. This skeleton should be the Ghost Emperor Yin dragon, but at this moment, the Yin dragon has obviously fallen, and there is no soul inside the head. There were signs of fire, and a vast ghostly energy flowed crazily, constantly submerging into the surrounding void.
