He Ping's body burst into flames, his heart, originating from the " Undead Abomination," pounded wildly, and the power of the < Three Suns Movement > flowed throughout his body. With a single step, he charged towards Chixinzi, accompanied by surging flames.
The " One Qi Revolving Flying Cover " was about a foot in front of He Ping. The sharp energy, like a blade, was thrown into the vast ocean and disappeared upon contact.
With a loud "bang," a cloud of sand shot into the sky, reaching a height of over ten feet, like a gushing spring from the earth.
The sandstorm rose extremely quickly, initially appearing as a straight column of sand, but then immediately dissipated. He Ping narrowed his eyes, a blazing light flashing within them, knowing that the sandstorm was an illusion. A potential energy suddenly erupted from beneath the ground, mingling with the sandstorm.
This was Chixinzi's true trump card: the Death Demon Calamity Qi that shot up from the ground like lightning, flashing like blazing light and darting like a flowing snake. When the " One Qi Revolving Flying Cover " failed to hit, the second attack shot up from the ground.
He Ping moved slightly and stepped down. His whole body was filled with flames, and with a swirling inhale, he drew the electric light into his mouth and nose. Seeing this, Tong Kong of Chixinzi showed a hint of astonishment.
The ultimate techniques of the Qi Soul Sect and the Demonic Secret Method from the < Seed Demon Technique > were activated. The two evil Secret Method attacked one after the other, from above and below, but they vanished like mud oxen entering the sea, disappearing into nothingness amidst the rising flames.
"This is impossible! How could he have absorbed the ' Death Demon Seed '? Could it be that this person has already mastered the Death Demon chapter of the < Seed Demon Technique >?"
The old man in the green robe was startled, finally realizing just how deep He Ping's cunning was and how terrifying his talent was.
'The power of the Three Yang Calamity... it's that half-piece of the Cinnabar Essence Iron Talisman... what trick did he use to master the abilities of the Undead Abomination...?'
Chixinzi was even more astonished by this crucial point.
"Die!"
He Ping grinned maliciously and pounced, his tattered robes billowing a crimson cloud as he arrived. His right hand clenched into a fist, and a burst of flame erupted, engulfing Chixinzi's figure. Chixinzi, consumed by the flames, suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with even greater astonishment: 'Truly the power of the Three Yang Calamity! How did this boy manage to evade the assimilation of the ' God of Sacrificial Fire's ' consciousness?'
In his confusion, his consciousness slowed down slightly. The raging flames induced by the power of the Three Yang Calamity enveloped his body, lasting for less than a fraction of a second, before a crackling sound was heard. Chixinzi's green robe exploded, and his body turned into countless talismans. Most of them were burned away by the flames, but a few flew away.
"That trick again!"
This wasn't the first time He Ping had encountered Chixinzi's methods; he knew the other party was proficient in a strange escape technique.
"Anyway, Chixinzi isn't going anywhere. If we can't kill him, killing that old hag first won't hurt!"
He glanced at Granny Miaohua beside him, his eyes glowing crimson, a menacing aura emanating from them as he pressed towards her.
Granny Miaohua knew the danger. Her face turned deathly pale, her eyes widened like bells, and she suddenly yelled, "Get in here!" Instantly, the vertical line between her eyebrows opened, and a golden light swept across He Ping. He Ping was brushed by this golden " Soul Shifting Immortal Light," and his movements slowed down immediately.
'Is this the Qi Soul Sect Soul Shifting Immortal Light?'
He didn't experience any "soul-stirring or soul-fluttering" sensation; he simply felt everything around him slow down after being struck by the "celestial light"—the burning flames, Granny Miaohua was right next to him, and the talismans scattered in the air all remained motionless, frozen in their original positions.
"No... This is not ' Soul Shifting Immortal Light,' this is the Qi Soul Sect's secret technique, ' Great Transmigration Consciousness Immortal Light '!"
Staring blankly at everything around him, He Ping suddenly realized that this must be the legendary " Great Transmigration Consciousness Immortal Light ". This immortal light can distort a person's sense of time, allowing their Divine Sense to sink into the void in an instant, free from the constraints of time and space, and to comprehend the Dao in the void of time.
However, if this " Great Transmigration Consciousness Immortal Light " is used against an enemy, it can adjust the senses of others, slowing down their perception of time. In an instant, it seems to become eternity, and everything except one's own consciousness will fall into a frozen world.
This move is terrifying. Anyone struck by the divine light, even with a strong soul, will have their senses distorted, rendering them unable to speak or move, and even their thoughts stripped away. They will be like a wooden or stone carving, silently enduring the passage of time.
'If it were anyone else, they would indeed have a hard time dealing with this " Great Transmigration Consciousness Immortal Light," but it just so happens to be me...'
He Ping chuckled to himself, his consciousness shifted again, and another soul emerged, ignoring the distorted sensations of the " Great Transmigration Consciousness Immortal Light " and taking control of his own body.
"It's done!"
Granny Miaohua's lips twitched slightly, a surge of secret joy welling up inside her, when suddenly a voice rang out.
"Old hag!"
Amidst the flames, He Ping's eyes widened suddenly, blazing like torches. Before she could react, he reached out and grabbed forward with lightning speed.
" Chixinzi, save me!"
!"
The old woman let out a sharp cry, and in her haste, she couldn't use the evil Secret Method of the Qi Soul Sect. She could only flick her sleeves to release the " One Qi Profound Escape Veil," which was as thin as a cicada's wing and as light as gauze, to obstruct the way.
He Ping laughed, and with a burst of fire, the "One Qi Profound Escape Veil," which was neither gold nor copper and emitted a faint white glow, was reduced to ashes.
Those sharp five fingers, like five daggers, emitted a dazzling red light, and in the blink of an eye, they broke through the old woman's protective magic and pierced into her head.
"Die!"
With a forceful tear from its claws.
Sizzle!
Blood sprayed outwards like an explosion, evaporating in the intense heat before it even hit the ground. The old woman's scalp and head were ripped apart from her forehead, and the violent blow caused her brains to splatter onto the ground as well.
The old woman's body suddenly sprang into the air, and while still in mid-air, it burst into flames with a loud bang, as if it had been soaked in oil, before crashing to the ground.
"This is bad!"
Old Kiln Ghost felt a chill run down his spine. With Granny Miaohua dead, the " Three Paths Evil Karma Array," maintained by the lifespans of her three disciples, was now under attack and threatened by the Immortal Puppet Sect members.
"By the way... where is Chixinzi?"
The old man didn't see them in the formation. He turned around and was shocked to find that Cheng Zhi, who had been standing on the outer edge, and the woman in red were gone. There were only a few scorch marks on the ground, and several half-burnt talismans lying on the ground.
"Damn it! That old man sensed something was wrong and ran away with that Cheng Family man!"
Old Kiln Ghost's mouth opened slightly, and his eyelids twitched a few times. He knew the situation was bad. This Three Paths Evil Karma Array still needed him to maintain it. If he abandoned the formation and ran away now, He Ping would break the formation, and under the pull of the energy, he would definitely suffer a backlash.
"If the formation is broken, I'll be severely injured at best, and my life will be in danger at worst. Besides, I've already offended this person, so I have no other choice!"
With a fierce determination, the old man swept his robe around and arrived beside one of the disciples who was holding Human Bone Pole and hanging a banner of Hungry Ghost Banner.
"My disciple, I had no choice!"
He sighed softly, and with a sudden slash of his pipe, the yellow-robed man who was silently chanting incantations and maintaining the " Three Paths Evil Karma Array " had his flesh and bones above his forehead cleanly sliced off. After the scalp and skull were lifted, the white and red brain tissue was exposed.
"All Wangliang, gods of life and death, auspicious and inauspicious spirits, and ghosts of tombs, shall now depart and flee ten thousand miles away. If you do not obey, you shall be beheaded ten thousand times..."
Old Kiln Ghost chanted incantations rapidly, flicked his sleeve, and struck the man in yellow's head with his pipe. The man's severed head, like a lump of solidified grease, suddenly burst into a ball of bluish-green flame.
The moment the eerie ghostly flames of the underworld lit up, a smell of wax wafted from the yellow-robed man.
This person should still be conscious; their eyes suddenly widened, revealing a painful emotion, and their face was extremely ferocious and distorted. This is the most evil Secret Method of the Ghost Cry Sect, " Ghost Candle Lighting Technique." After performing this technique, even if the person dies, they will still suffer immense torment.
boom!
The man in yellow robes received the Secret Method of " Ghost Candle Lighting Technique," and all his lifespan surged into the Human Skin Banner. The appearance of the hungry ghost became more and more lifelike, and its whole body trembled, as if it was about to break free from the long pole made of spine bones at any moment.
Following the same method, the Old Kiln Ghost killed two more disciples dressed in yellow, shaving off their heads and using their brains as wicks to perform the evil " Ghost Candle Lighting Technique " spell.
It should be noted that his three twin disciples were underworld Yin Keeper specifically trained to become the " Three Paths Three Evils Banner ".
The Yin Keeper, also known as tomb guardians, are those who guard tombs and graves for others. The senior masters of the Ghost Cry Sect have always used themselves to feed evil spirits. This practice greatly depletes their lifespan. When their lifespan is about to end, they simply transform into a ghost body, called a " Ghost Treasure ".
The Violent Death Ghost, Starving Ghost, and Pustule Ghost on the " Three Paths Three Evils Banner " were actually the three senior brothers of the Old Kiln Ghost. After their deaths, these three proclaimed themselves " Ghost Treasure," which were then given by the Old Kiln Ghost to his three disciples.
After obtaining the " Three Paths Three Evils Banner," these three disciples had to constantly nourish the three ghost banners with their own Essence Blood, and lifespan. Every time they forcibly used a ghost banner, they would consume a large amount of their lifespan. Rather than saying that "people nourish the banners," it would be more accurate to say that "the banners are refining people."
In just a moment, the three brothers in yellow robes were set ablaze like candles, and their flesh and blood began to shrink. All their vital energy Qi and Blood were sucked away by the vengeful ghost, and their bodies became thin and long, as if they were about to turn into a human skin.
On the contrary, those Violent Death Ghost, Starving Ghost, or Pustule Ghost were nourished by the Blood Qi, and one by one they "revived" from the long human bone pole.
The Violent Death Ghost had a bluish-gray skin, and was suspended in the air by an iron hook from behind, its skin taut. Its cloudy yellow eyes rolled around, and its sharp fingernails were more than three inches long, with its knuckles trembling.
The Starving Ghost's mouth was pierced by an iron hook, hanging like a dead fish; its lips were bluish-black, its teeth were blackened, and its blood-red tongue dangled down its split mouth.
A piece of iron hook pierced through the right eye socket of the Pustule Ghost. Its body was covered with various smallpox and syphilis sores. With a shake of its rotten sack-like body, all the scabs and sores fell off, creating a foul stench that made people cover their noses.
The three demons had already awakened, each emitting a low laugh. Within the Three Paths Evil Karma Array, the malevolent energy and ferocity surged, swirling back and compressing the increasingly intense flames within the formation.
Buzz...
The formation accelerated its operation, and a strong transparent mist transformed into a field. The mist wisps flowed erratically, their speed constantly increasing, sealing the Three Paths Evil Karma Array like an iron barrel. Even the raging flames within the formation became indistinct.
"I will not rest easy until this man is dead!"
The Old Kiln Ghost was determined to evolve the " Three Paths Three Evils Banner " into a formation where the three demons would emerge together, sealing the heavenly gate and closing the earthly gate. If he didn't refine this person to death in the formation today, he himself would hardly escape.
Sizzle!
A strange noise made the old man glance at the yellow-robed man beside him. The disciple, who had been subjected to the " Ghost Candle Lighting Technique " spell, had a flickering flame in his mind, the light swaying eerily.
"What happened?"
The Old Kiln Ghost was puzzled. He blinked his right eye and glanced at the Pustule Ghost on the long banner. The ghost's entire body was burning silently, and its ghostly laughter had turned into ghostly wailing.
"This... this kind of thing... can actually happen..."
He then looked at the other two " Three Paths Three Evils Banner," and the two fierce ghosts on the banners also spontaneously combusted.
"The formation is about to collapse."
A sense of despair welled up in the Old Kiln Ghost's heart, especially when he looked at the Three Paths Evil Karma Array. Within the thick fog barrier, the intense firelight suddenly subsided, and the flowing flames resembled a closed flower bud. Then, a pale blue flame burst forth from within, and the power of the initial tribulation in the Three Yang Calamity erupted with a roar.
"When the Azure Yang opens, calamity will naturally appear. The flames of calamity will blaze, and the entire world will be destroyed!"
With a long cry, the flames pierced through the fog, and the scorching air blew violently. The three ghosts hanging on the long pole of human bones were burned into a ball of blue flames and turned into ashes. The remaining heat waves swelled into wind, and a figure flew through the air like a shooting star breaking through the flames.
"You should die too!"
With the power of azure flames flowing around his body, He Ping laughed and struck out with a palm from a distance.
