Chapter 223 Soul Gathering Flag
The five ghosts released by Black Flag are the ghosts in the ghost shadow stage, and their strength is comparable to that of ordinary monks in the Qi refining stage. Although the attack power of the ghosts is insufficient, the five of them combined are not in Qingyang's pulse opening stage. The monks can handle it. In particular, ghosts are good at mental attacks. If Qingyang is not careful, he may become passive.
The better thing is that the ghosts released by the black flag are not ghosts born naturally in the world. They are refined by the real person Netherworld. They have great limitations. These ghosts cannot act completely on their own instincts and need Netherworld's help. Only a real person is behind the scenes.
Even so, these five ghosts were much more powerful than Qing Yan. Qingyang suddenly became nervous when he looked at the five ferocious-looking ghosts surrounding him. Looking at the situation now, not to mention defeating Master Netherworld and getting the Jade Spirit Essence, I am afraid that my life will be in danger. Is it possible that I can only hide back in the Drunk Immortal Gourd?
Master Netherworld outside saw that Qingyang was frightened by his own methods, and couldn't help showing a proud smile and said: "Boy, in order to deal with you, I forcibly sacrificed the nearly a hundred monk souls that I had collected with great difficulty and turned them into ghosts. After that, they were made to kill each other in the Soul Gathering Flag, and finally these five ghosts of the Ghost Shadow Stage were born. You are proud of that. "
The soul-gathering flag that Master Netherworld refers to is his small black flag. It is a high-level ghost spiritual weapon, specially used to collect the souls and ghosts of monks for sacrifice. It is the only spiritual weapon that has been preserved after the misfortune of Master Netherworld. However, this soul-gathering flag has strong functionality but insufficient attack and defense capabilities, so it has never been used for self-defense.
The last time he faced Helan Peak, Master Netherworld planned to use this technique, but was interrupted by the opponent's golden sword talisman. This time he faced Qingyang and couldn't attack for a long time, so he had to use this technique again. He forcibly sacrificed the monk souls he collected and turned them into ghosts. They then killed and devoured each other, leaving the five strongest and most ferocious among them to assist him in fighting.
There are no ghost monks in Jiuzhou Continent, and few people practice ghost techniques. As for the techniques that can restrain ghost monks, there are even fewer. Therefore, Master Netherworld is a sure winner at this time. Let alone a small Qingyang, he is not afraid even if he faces the same number of Qi Practitioners.
The five fierce ghosts roared and roared around Qingyang. As long as their master gave an order, they would immediately rush forward, tear up and devour the enemy, and let that person become their nourishment.
Facing the five ghost-stage ghosts floating in the air, Qingyang seemed so small and helpless. Looking at the scene in front of him, Master Netherworld said coldly: "Hand over the treasures you have on your body, and I can make your death easier. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude. You know the methods of our ghost monks, There are ways to make your life worse than death. If you annoy me, I will let these five ghosts eat you and let you try the pain of five ghosts eating your soul. You will not be able to rest in peace after death."
Hearing the words of Master You Ming, Qingyang couldn't help but shudder. Five Ghosts Devouring Souls, just hearing the name makes people's necks shiver. It seems that he is destined to lose this time. It's better to die than to live. Qingyang couldn't help but I have the intention to quit.
At this moment, the jade Buddha hidden in Qingyang's chest suddenly shook, and then a warm current swept through his body, just like the cold winter suddenly came under the sun. The evil energy before was quickly eliminated. Get rid of it, and all that's left is warmth and comfort.
Qingyang could even faintly feel that the black mist around him was seeping towards the Jade Buddha on his body, and the remnant soul of the One-horned Ghost King in the Jade Buddha was gradually increasing in strength.
Before the five fierce ghosts came out, the Soul Gathering Flag first released a thick black mist, covering the entire mine. This black mist was the ghost energy and was used to set up the battlefield. A battlefield filled with ghostly aura can enhance the strength of ghost cultivators and affect the enemy's performance. It was originally a matter of trade-offs, but in the end it was advantageous to the one-horned ghost king among the Jade Buddhas.
The Netherworld Master opposite was completely unaware, but Qingyang had given up his intention to retreat. There was no way to escape. With the Jade Buddha protecting him, at least the influence of these Netherworld ghosts on him was eliminated. As long as he was on guard against the five ghosts. He can still fight against mental attacks.
Having made up his mind, Qingyang stopped talking and swung his sword towards the ghost on the opposite side. The ghost couldn't avoid it and was struck by Qingyang's red flame sword. There was only a soft tearing sound, and the ghost was struck by Qingyang's red flame sword. Yang cut it in half, and tiny sparks even appeared at the wound site.
However, the ghost did not die. A layer of black mist suddenly seeped out of the body, extinguishing the sparks at the wound. Soon the two halves of the body merged into one and returned to their original shape.
This kind of physical attack does little damage to ghosts, that is, when the red flame sword hits the ghost's body, the sparks that emerge can cause a certain amount of damage. However, these ghosts can recover quickly by consuming some of the ghostly energy in their bodies. According to this method, it is impossible to severely damage these ghosts without dozens or hundreds of swords.
Qingyang's cultivation level is too low and he has no time to practice spells. He can only attack with the Red Flame Sword. One sword is not enough. At worst, he will use a few more swords. Sooner or later, this ghost will lose too much Yinming ghost energy and its strength will decline. Yes, by then it will be time for you to turn defeat into victory.
Qingyang thought very well, but he didn't know that Master Netherworld had been on guard against this for a long time. Although those ghosts were not powerful in attack, they were in the ghost realm after all. In terms of speed and reaction ability, they were comparable to Qi Refining monks. In a real fight, After that, the five ghosts dodged left and right, floating all over the sky, coming and going suddenly. It was still very difficult for Qingyang to hit them.
The five ghosts' attacks were also very simple. When they were far away, they used the Yinming ghost energy as a weapon to attack Qingyang; when they were close, they used claws, hands, and teeth to grab, tear, and bite. If this kind of attack was used on other people, it might cause considerable damage, but it was useless to Qingyang. Every time an attack came, the Jade Buddha would tremble slightly and absorb those attacks.
The two sides were at a stalemate for a while, and Qingyang was anxious. If he waited for the effect of the blood burning technique to disappear, he would be completely passive. The netherworld master was also anxious because this was not what he wanted. He needed to get rid of Qingyang as soon as possible to arrange the next thing.
At this time, the netherworld master didn't know what spell he recited, and in a blink of an eye, the five ghosts were divided into two groups, one for long-range attack and one for close combat. While fighting close combat, one of the ghosts opened his mouth and suddenly sprayed a black mist towards Qingyang.
Thick black fog rushed towards Qingyang. From a distance, Qingyang could smell the corrosive and decaying atmosphere in the black fog. He did not dare to face it directly and quickly dodged to the side.
