one's door

Suddenly, a gust of dark wind swept over, and in an instant, there was a figure in this mine space. The degree of solidification of that soul was far higher than that of the surrounding ghost generals and ghost kings. The soul body of a ghost can directly see a phantom with the naked eye.

"Huh? It turned out to be you. You ran away in a hurry when you left your Excellency last time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have seen you again today. To tell you the truth, I still regretted letting you go. But it seems that today I have a chance to make up for it." Sorry for the past."

Zhang Yan's perception replaced his naked eyes, and he had seen this powerful ghost in front of him before.I saw it when I used the Thunderbolt Talisman in Langyuan City before. It was the big ghost king who was almost chopped to death by Zhang Yan, and finally ran away by luck.

Based on the analysis of the information Bai Yu said, this person should be the eighth Yonghe ghost king among the nine ghost kings in the ghost domain.

The ranking is very low, but in Zhang Yan's view, although the strength is strong, it is also limited.

Zhang Yan hadn't reached the state of returning to the gods when he used the Thunderbolt Talisman before, relying on surprise and Leifa's natural restraint on ghosts.Some surprises lead to victory.

Currently in the underground mine tunnel, although the thunder method can still be used, the means of summoning thunder such as the running thunder talisman cannot be used.This may also be the reason why these ghosts dare to show up.In a simple concept, you can't still attract thunder in the ground ten feet deep, right?

But who knows that Zhang Yan's methods are not limited to Leifa.What's more, Zhang Yan, who was still in the Dao Dan state at the beginning, is no longer the same as Zhang Yan, who has become the Yuanshen now.

"Regret? Hehe, although Mr. Zhang is powerful, why does he always have trouble with our spirit race? What happened in Langyuan City last time, then Lianshan City, Huaiqing County not long ago, and now Changmen County. Mr. Are we going to completely drive our Spirit Race out of Nanyuan?"

Zhang Yan was surprised that the other party didn't attack him as soon as he came up, but seemed to want to talk to him?

What is this for?Are ghosts chatting with Taoist monks?There is no such statement, right?

It can be seen that Zhang Yan did not find any new movements of the surrounding ghosts that had completed the encirclement of him, and even after they encircled them, they each occupied a specific position according to some method similar to the total array, which was not as unremarkable as the mob. Disorganized.

"Do the spirit clan like to fight for victory and defeat like your Excellency?" Zhang Yan raised his aura as he said, and his amiable and gentle temperament immediately changed, like a mountain rising from the ground , the oppressive force of the pavement suddenly swelled, and even the fresh and sunny breath seemed to be nothing at ordinary times, but at this moment in this dark mine tunnel, it was like a small sun that could not shine, scorching so hot Those ghost generals trembled subconsciously.

The Holy King of Yonghe was almost scolded in his heart.Why didn't he want to directly swallow Zhang Yan alive who had brought him great shame and humiliation?At the beginning, he was injured by the opponent so that now he has fallen from the eighth rank of the Nine Great Saint Kings to the bottom position of the ninth rank.The hatred in it can definitely be called an obsession.

But even though he had obsessions in his heart, the Holy King of Yonghe still had to put on a "kind" appearance.Because the current situation is not suitable for fighting head-on with Zhang Yan, even if they win in the end, they will definitely lose a lot of powerful people in the fight, which is unacceptable.

"Mr. Zhang, it's better to settle enemies than to tie them together. You killed so many of our Spirit Race, we can let it go, and we can pretend it never happened if you sealed off two dead places in Nanyuan. But sir, we must stop here. Otherwise, the Spirit Race Although I, Yonghe, are not enough to deal with Mr., but there are many Great Sage Kings. After all, Mr. is alone, how can we resist him? Please think twice before acting, Mr.

Zhang Yan was really sure that the opponent didn't want to fight anymore.Otherwise, in the face of his intentional opening and running just now, everyone would be very angry, not to mention that these ghosts are already tyrannical and occupying the advantage of the scene, how can they withstand such a provocation?If you want to hit Zhang Yan, just go ahead, if you don't, then these spirit clans probably have some reason to grit their teeth and forcefully compromise.

Now it seems that Zhang Yan has really caught up.

"Hehe, those who defend the Tao, what they do is the way of humanity, the way of heaven, and the great way! They always demand one of them. But there is no possibility of intertwining with the way of ghosts. Otherwise, why do you practice Taoism?" Zhang Yan held a sword flower and held the Chunyang sword in his hand. There was a crackling sound, and a layer of lavender electric sparks jumped out of thin air.

The Sacred King of Yonghe couldn't understand what Zhang Yan said about humanity, heaven, and the great way, and he didn't know what the ghost way was.But from Zhang Yan's expression, tone, and even the movements of his hands, he knew that Zhang Yan didn't want to talk anymore.This is to play a game first.

"Mr. Zhang, don't bully people too much!"

"Human? You are all ghosts and monsters who have been rejected by heaven and earth. What face do you call human?

bully?To eliminate you is to do justice for the heavens, what is the reason?Let me send you a ceremony of transcendence, and it is the right way to return to the reincarnation of the world! "

How can there be any reason to talk to ghosts?Especially Zhang Yan, as a person in the Taoist sect, if he sees a ghost, he will be superseded or destroyed, there is no need to talk nonsense.

You may ask, are there no good ghosts in this world?

of course not!

To be a ghost is to escape the cycle of heaven and earth, relying on evil spirits and hostile obsessions, what is good?Even if saving people is a good thing, it is still a ghost, and in the eyes of heaven, earth and Taoists, it is just a nicer bug.Would you let a bedbug go just because it was a little nicer?

Therefore, Zhang Yan's habit or cognition made him unable to bear to fight with a group of ghosts.

"Earth Beast! Kill him!" Yonghe Shengwang knew that he couldn't avoid it, and he couldn't restrain the pent-up anger in his heart. With a loud shout, a strange force rose from his soul and body, It seems to be connected with the dense ghosts around it...

Chapter 321 Earth Beast

Counting it, this should be Zhang Yan's first face-to-face confrontation with ghosts.It's completely different from the previous situation of always taking advantage of the unequal information gap between the two sides to attack the opponent's weakness by surprise.

This time, he was facing the largest group of ghosts that Zhang Yan had encountered so far.

Zhang Yan's habit has always been to strike first. When the enemy is outnumbered, the most important thing is to kill as many enemies as possible to lay the groundwork for the subsequent tug-of-war.

However, under Zhang Yan's rapid piercing with Tudun and Jian Jue, Zhang Yan's Chunyang sword did not directly cause damage to the Yonghe Sacred King at his Zhang Xu, as he expected, but was covered by a layer of earthy yellow. The invisible barrier resisted.

"Huh? Can it block the Chunyang sword with the power of thunder? This doesn't seem to be a means of the evil spirit or the materialization of the soul?" Zhang Yan walked away with a touch, sensing the reason why the long sword was blocked, and at the same time secretly thought that this time it might be possible. It's time to see the powerful methods of suppressing the bottom of the box of ghosts in Huangtianyu.

"Upon the laws of heaven and earth, hurry like a law! Stone bats, now!"

Taoism emphasizes "following the trend", and being in the ground, the lightning method of the five elements wood is more difficult to use, because it is true that you can't borrow the natural thunder power of heaven and earth, you can only rely on Zhang Yan's own lightning skills Shi Wei, it's okay to use it for a surprise attack, but it's unrealistic to rely on your own aura to make a big deal.

Fortunately, it was also Zhang Yan's confidence that in addition to his good practice in the lightning method of the five elements of the wood attribute, he also practiced well in the related methods of the five elements of the earth attribute, and he was not only good at earth escape.

Zhang Yan naturally heard the word "Earth Beast" shouted by the Great Sage King Yonghe just now.Although I didn't think about it carefully, I knew that this must be some kind of systematic big move of the opponent, otherwise the opponent's melee defense method that could be broken by the Thunder Talisman at the beginning, can't be broken by the Chunyang Sword with Tianlei Jin now. It can be seen.

But Zhang Yan also has his own moves.The opponent is powerful, so use points to expand the area. The methods of the five elements and earth attributes also have powerful moves that can target souls and ghosts.

Just like Zhang Yan's technique of throwing out at the same time: stone bat.

Bat, bat.The actual appearance of this method of directly calling names by adding a stone character in front.They are bats formed from earth and rocks.

Bats are the only living beings that live in the dark underground but have a yang body.It is also a sharp weapon that earth attributes can use to deal with ghosts.

In an instant, amidst Zhang Yan's reverberating incantations, lumps of earth and rocks the size of fists sprung up out of thin air in the dark underground mine tunnel, and then transformed into bats after a short breath. , began to fly silently.

Because they are not real bats, but stone bats, which are still formed from the earth and stones of this place, so for them, flying in the air is not as easy as shuttling through the earth and rocks.

The appearance of these stone bats is greater than the huge number. In just three to five breaths of work, there are no fewer than a thousand of them within ten feet of Zhang Yan's body, and they travel unimpeded underground, fiercely attacking and biting the nearby ghosts. .

Stone bats belong to yang, and they are condensed under the magic of the five elements and earth attributes. They carry far more yang energy than real bats. Even if they can't hurt the ghost's soul when biting, they can quickly dispel the yang energy in their body. It is transmitted to the soul body of the opponent, forming a substantial damage to the ghost.

Here Zhang Yan sacrificed the stone bat, and the method of the ghost on the other side was the "earth beast" that the Holy King of Yonghe said.

Zhang Yan uses points to expand the surface, and the ghost's strategy is to use the surface to condense points.

Although the methods are different, the skills are coincidentally the same.Stone bats and earth beasts, in Zhang Yan's view, aren't they all means of the Five Elements Earth attribute? !

Ghosts also know the five elements? !

Before this, Zhang Yan knew that ghosts would have some spells that belonged to them, such as the method of condensing one's own soul into sharp weapons and armor, which were obvious spells.Therefore, it is believed that the ghosts in Huangtianyu are already consciously groping in the direction of ghost cultivation.

Now the nature of this beast is completely different from the soul-body transformation into soldiers or armor that Zhang Yan experienced from these ghosts in Huangtianyu before.The obvious five-element earth attribute technique.

Although it is still very rough, it is to use the strength of the soul body of the huge ghost present to force it to disperse, and then stir up the extremely strong five-element earth attribute deep underground here, and then in some way arouse the power of the five-element earth attribute. Can form spell effects.

Now the Holy King of Yonghe is what they call the "earth beast" beast head, and the ghost kings and ghost generals around Zhang Yan are three or five groups of horns, and at the same time, they connect the five elements of the earth attribute that have stirred up. Finally, it is held on the body of the Holy King Yonghe to form a "beast body".

In Zhang Yan's perception, the earth beast produced by the ghost on the opposite side actually looked ferocious and ferocious, and its huge size did not appear loose because it was put together by many ghosts interacting with each other.Leaving aside the yin and soul reactions of the respective ghosts, what Zhang Yan is facing at this moment is really like a giant beast.

The giant beast swept across its tail, and the physical strength brought by the huge five-element earth attribute was not something that Zhang Yan could forcefully block, and could only be avoided by relying on body skills or evasion techniques.But in the process of avoiding, they will also be constantly harassed or even sniped by the components of the beast, that is, many ghost kings and ghost generals.

Although Zhang Yan's stone bat is not afraid of being destroyed, it can quickly re-condense its shape after being broken up, fill it with yang energy, and continue to bite.It did indeed bring real damage to the ghosts that make up the land beast, but this cannot be seen immediately. The land beast erected by the ghosts cannot be directly torn to pieces, but can only be eaten away slowly.

As a result, the situation looked a little stalemate for a while.The ghost controls the ground beast, no matter how sensitive the physical attack is, or "opening the mouth" to use the rapid flow of the five elements' earth attribute to suck Zhang Yan's body to achieve the purpose of imprisoning Zhang Yan, all fail without exception.

Zhang Yan will only be more familiar with and understand the magic of the Five Elements and Earth. Although this earth beast of the ghost is strange, it can also be called powerful.But if you want to do anything to Zhang Yan, there is no hope at all for the time being.

And Zhang Yan's side was also somewhat beyond his expectations.Because the means offered by the other party are different from his previous cognition, and although the beast has not changed much, it is flexible and extremely tough. effect.

But the difference between Zhang Yan and ghosts is that he has a lot of cards in his hand.Since stone bats can't see immediate results, another method is to be used.

"By the law, the universe is as urgent as the law! Earth fire, come quickly!"

Chapter 322

What is ground fire?

To put it bluntly, it is an underground fire.

In the universal saying on the earth, the ground fire can be attributed to "lava".A complex natural phenomenon belonging to the actual existence of the host planet.

In fact, although lava also exists deep underground, it can even be said to be a great boost to the origin of biology, but in another cognitive system, lava is just lava, not ground fire.

There is a saying that has been distorted for a long time called "the sky thunder catches the earth fire".This actually talks about the principle that energies of the same nature attract each other.It means that the sky thunder and the earth fire have the same nature, and the two can be compatible.

What is the nature of thunder?Zhigang Zhiyang.

Since the earth fire has the same nature as the sky thunder, it is naturally the most rigid and the most yang.

And the ground fire here is not talking about lava, but the fire energy between heaven and earth, which belongs to the five elements of fire that are silent at the same position as the lava.

How about Zhang Yan's five-element fire attribute method?That is naturally not good.After all, the refining tool relies on the convenience of his weird black and white pill fire, and has nothing to do with the fire technique he masters.

But the ground fire is an exception.Because although the earth fire is of the fire attribute, it is more inclined to the means of the five elements of the earth attribute when it is used.

It can be imagined as squeezing lemon juice, the outer skin is squeezed hard, and the juice is squeezed out through the outer skin.The five-element soil is the squeezed layer of "lemon peel", and the ground fire that emerges is "lemon juice".

Even the actual situation is very similar to "squeezing lemon juice". The ground fire that comes out does not burst out like a volcanic eruption, but just like when a lemon comes out of juice, it evenly bursts out bit by bit from the incision.

It also seems to be blooming everywhere, not only in the dark and empty mine tunnels, but also in the spaces filled with earth and rocks.Just like the countless bits and pieces in Zhang Yan's perception.

I said before that the essence of the ground fire is fire squeezed out of the soil. If you want to control these fires, the easiest way is naturally to continue to use the method of the five elements of the earth attribute. Drive the ground fires that are constantly squeezed out to gradually converge into a fire flow, and then cooperate with the nearly ten thousand stone bats to wrap around the so-called ground beasts erected by ghosts.

This time, it was not just a "nibble" like a stone bat, but a red-hot iron wrapped around the opponent's body.No matter how tough it is, it can't stop the scorching fire of the terrifying sun, even if there are five elements of earth as some offsetting shells, it can't stop the rapidly rising concentration of yang energy, and with the biting stone bats biting open The small hole, like the dam that collapsed in the ant's nest, collapsed only in an instant.

"The heaven and the earth are natural, and the filth is scattered. The cave is mysterious, and Taiyuan is shaking..."

The Divine Mantra of Purifying Heaven and Earth began to be sung from Zhang Yan's mouth, with a trembling voice, like Hong Zhong Dalu's words, reaching the depths of the ghosts' souls, suppressing all the evil spirits and even hostility in their souls.

The same "Jing Tian Di Shen Mantra" Zhang Yan sang when he was still in the Qi-entraining period was completely different from chanting it now after returning to the divine state.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the Holy King of Yonghe also felt that he still underestimated Zhang Yan.The opponent not only relies on Thunder to be fierce, but other means are no worse than Thunder.In the confrontation just now, the Holy King of Yonghe could clearly feel that even if he brought hundreds of spirit generals and more than ten holy kings and cooperated with the powerful multi-vs-one moves of the earth beast, it was still difficult for him to do anything to the opponent.On the other hand, the opponent threw out two new methods that had never been seen before, and the whole situation began to slide in a direction that was not good for them.

Thinking of the lessons learned from his almost complete death in Langyuan City before, the Saint King of Yonghe soon had the intention to retire.In addition, if this fight continues, not only will the entrance and exit of this dead path be blocked, but also the lives of countless spirit clans under his command will be lost.

Or should we avoid it first?The lesser of two evils?

But how could Zhang Yan end up like this?of course not.Inserting the Chunyang sword in his hand into the ground, temporarily serving as the center of the formation, with it as the center point, the few Tiangang pillars that Zhang Yan seemed to have failed to arrange before were connected into one piece, and the power of the formation rose instantly. , Like an invisible barrier, it will cover Zhang Yan's area of ​​nearly [-] feet around him.

This is a package that covers all directions, up, down, left, and right. Although it can't cover all the ghosts present, it still covers nearly [-]% of them, including the great sage Wang Yonghe.

Don't have the confidence to work hard with you underground?

It wasn't until this moment that the ghosts felt that they had suddenly fallen into a predicament, or even a desperate situation.

"The filth dissipates and the Dao Qi lives forever!"

Every time the "Jingtiandi Divine Mantra" is sung once, there will be unstoppable ghosts falling out of the combination of the earth and beasts.

Ghosts that have been eroded by yang qi to stabilize their souls are extremely fragile in front of the magic spell of Jingtiandi.In addition, although these several celestial pillars can't be assembled into a large formation of twelve celestial pillars, the talismans and spirit stones in them are enough to be used as the supernatural power of "Jing Jie Wing and Emancipation of Sin".

Run, can't run away; fight, can't fight.

So the scene is a bit muddy and sandy.Zhang Yan didn't even need to confront the opponent head-on, he just needed to restrain the opponent's movement from the side, so that he could not break through the formation with all his strength and escape.

The magic circle pulled out by several Tiangang pillars was not so strong.But with the magic weapon of Chunyang Sword as the center of the formation, and Zhang Yan personally holding the formation, the power can increase dramatically.

Now this temporary formation is like a stuffy jar full of carnivorous ants, and the ghosts are the mice in the jar.The struggle will only gradually weaken, and finally be eaten into a pile of bones.

Even the ghosts took out the means of soul explosion, a dying blow.Zhang Yan was forced to get out of the formation, not daring to face the power of Soul Explosion.

But if the magic circle drawn by the Tiangang Pillar is to be broken through such a simple and crude method as Soul Explosion, it would be too much fun, let alone block the entrance and exit of the Dead Silence Road.The magic circle is either dismantled along the vein of the magic circle, or it destroys the foundation of the magic circle arrangement.Generally, those who rely on hard power to break the magic circle are the second ones.

But right now, the Tiangang Pillar is placed in a deeper place. If you want to directly destroy the Tianzhu Pillar, at least [-]% of the ghosts present, including the ghost kings, must grit their teeth and give up [-]% of them together, otherwise it will be impossible to break the formation.And doing so will draw other ghosts who are also trapped in the formation into the soul explosion at the moment the formation is broken.It belongs to the act of killing one thousand enemies and harming one thousand two.

So Zhang Yan came out of the formation at this time, and he didn't care about the sporadic ghosts scattered around the periphery. They were frightened and swarmed towards the entrance of the dead silence road in the depths.

It's a pity that we can't catch them all.But thinking that the big head is trapped in the formation, Zhang Yan felt very relieved.He was even curious about how much merit and aura the big ghost king could bring him in the end.

But just when Zhang Yan's attention was shifted back to the magic circle from the scattered ghosts, a force with strong five-element earth attribute in the extreme yin suddenly shot out from the entrance and exit of the dead pit in the deep mine below. come out.

In less than a short breath, it was like a giant blade slashing upwards from bottom to top. Wherever it passed, one of the Tiangang pillars was directly chopped into pieces. After that, without stopping, it continued to cut towards Zhang Yan, and brought it up. Zhang Yan couldn't help standing upside down with hairs all over his head, and he didn't dare to block his sharpness. The escapism technique was launched, and the speed of the giant blade cutting towards him in the earth and rocks could only be matched by the rapid escape...

Chapter 323 Disappearing

Under the chasing and cutting of the giant blade, Zhang Yan didn't even have room to dodge, so he could only escape with all his strength and retreat upwards.

With a distance of more than ten zhang in front of Zhang Yan who was escaping at such a high speed, he could not even take a breath, so he dodged and rushed out from the ground.But the giant blade still didn't stop immediately, but rushed out, and finally caught up with Zhang Yan in mid-air in the shape of a huge earth-rock blade.

"boom!"

With an impact and roar, Zhang Yan erected a large shield one person high in front of him at some point, carrying the blow of the huge earth and stone blade for life, but also because he was in mid-air and had nowhere to borrow strength, he was knocked down by the huge force of the blow. It flew up and rose more than ten feet before falling far away.

Zhang Yan landed safely by relying on the soaring technique, but the trace of blood at the corner of his mouth also showed that even if he had Wanxiangzhu turned into a large shield to block most of the chasing force of the giant blade when he was in the nick of time, the rest of the transmitted force still let him go. His physical body endured a huge impact, his inner mansion was shaken, his Qi and blood surged, and he suffered minor internal injuries.

Taking a deep breath, there are no more ghosts in his perception.Together with the big ghost king, they all ran away without a trace.Because the giant blade just now chopped a Tiangang pillar into pieces, which caused the formation with the Chunyang sword as the center of the formation to collapse.And Zhang Yan was being chased and killed again, so he couldn't concentrate on re-consolidating the formation, so all the previous arrangements were in vain.

Only the dozen or so ghost generals who were half-saved in advance by the unbearable burning of the ground and the gnawing of stone bats still stood there in a daze.

The harvest had only just begun, and it ended abruptly.It has to be said that all this has deviated from Zhang Yan's expectations.It also made most of his gains in vain.

But there is one thing that Zhang Yan is more vigilant about, and that is the releaser of the giant blade slash just now.That is the strongest Zhang Yan has seen so far.It is far above Wu Kui and other warriors in the late stage of Duanshan Realm.Nor is it comparable to the Yonghe Great Sage King.

"That's the strength of the great ghost king?"

Bai Yu once told Zhang Yan about the division of forces in Huangquan.For example, the real power in the ghost domain is the nine great sage kings, there are only nine in total, and if the new ghosts want to be on the top, they have to challenge them, and the winner is the king.The same goes for rank.

The strength of the nine great sage kings is from high to low.But there is another dividing line, that is, the upper four are called "upper sage kings" and the lower five are called "lower sage kings".This dividing line is not drawn randomly, but because the upper four Great Sage Kings have never slipped below any challenge. The information of Huangquan has been the top four Great Sage Kings ever since, and even the order has not changed. Pass.

Compared with the upper Great Sage King, the rank and name of the lower Great Sage King have also changed many times.So comparing the two sides in this way, the disparity in strength is very clear.
