"Spells of the demonic paths, are they? A little interesting... tsk. If my cultivation really were only at the Qi Refining Stage, Fifth Level, I really would have fallen into your trap!"
Inside one of the carriages gathered around the campfire, Bai Zishan opened his eyes, a keen gleam flashing deep within them.
"Since the two of you have served your purpose, I'll give you a quick death..."
As he murmured, Bai Zishan reached up and pinched his cheeks, and his handsome face once again took on a nervous, constrained expression.
This time, however, a measure of fear joined that nervousness and constraint.
Then Bai Zishan suddenly looked up at the carriage roof. Forming a hand seal with one hand, he condensed a golden sword arc and slashed it outward.
Bang!
The next moment, the carriage shattered, and Bai Zishan flew into the air.
"Hmph! I knew Yellow Springs Nightmare couldn't hold this brat!"
Just as Bai Zishan burst out of the carriage and took flight, ghostly shadows had already appeared around his carriage at some unknown point, poised to pounce.
On closer inspection, those ghostly shadows were actually the mounted bandits who had died earlier!
Dozens of mounted bandits had died during this time, yet only ten ghostly figures appeared now.
The person controlling these ghostly figures was none other than Yang Qin!
"Then hurry up and attack! Breaking your Yellow Springs Nightmare must have cost him a great deal of Origin Power. Don't give him a chance to recover!"
Seeing that Bai Zishan had actually evaded her ghostly figures' attack, Yang Qin spoke coldly to Guo Ding. At the same time, her hand seals changed, and she pointed at the ghostly figures from a distance.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In an instant, the ghostly figures seemed to acquire intelligence. They flew high into the air, revealing the vicious faces they had worn in life, and lunged at Bai Zishan.
"Of course! With your Netherworld Yin Soldiers holding him down, my dear wife, your husband certainly won't let this brat escape!"
Guo Ding smiled coldly. While the ten ghostly figures surrounded and attacked Bai Zishan, he formed hand seals and began muttering an incantation.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Streams of black yin Baleful Intent gathered and coiled around him, seemingly about to take shape. The aura they radiated terrified the surrounding horses into dropping to their knees.
"This fellow... those who follow demonic paths really do deserve death most of all!"
In midair, Bai Zishan was dodging the ten ghostly figures pursuing him. He glanced at Guo Ding, who was casting a spell, and a cold gleam flashed in his eyes. Immediately, he raised his hand, formed a seal, and pointed toward Guo Ding and Yang Qin below.
"Golden Light Technique!"
Origin Power at the Qi Refining Stage, Fifth Level rippled from his body and transformed into a golden mirror five meters across in midair. It abruptly erupted with a dazzling burst of golden light.
"Damn it! Be careful, my wife!" The golden light forced Guo Ding's eyes shut. Even the thing of yin Baleful Intent condensing before him paused for an instant, clearly affected greatly.
"Wind Array Wall!"
Yang Qin naturally dared not be careless. As Guo Ding spoke, she changed her hand seals and drove out the Origin Power within her, forming a surging whirlwind around them both.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The whirlwind resembled a tornado. It did not look particularly powerful, yet it carved a circular trench more than a meter deep into the ground around them.
And this was with Yang Qin controlling the whirlwind's power to guard against Bai Zishan in the air!
But those two were not Bai Zishan's targets-at least, not yet.
Bang!
After using the Golden Light Technique to disrupt Guo Ding and Yang Qin, Bai Zishan immediately landed before Lu Mingyue's carriage. Raising his hand, he sent a golden sword arc cleaving through the entire carriage body.
Then Bai Zishan turned his Origin Power into a large hand and helped Lu Mingyue up from where she lay unconscious against the carriage wall. A pulse of Origin Power passed through her body, and her eyes abruptly opened.
"Hah... hah... hah..."
Having already "killed" her grandfather more than a dozen times in that nightmare, Lu Mingyue suddenly awoke to find herself drenched in cold sweat.
Looking at Bai Zishan before her, Lu Mingyue had no time to ask questions, but she sensed the surging Origin Power around them.
Bai Zishan's face was even more frightened. The instant Lu Mingyue awoke, he pointed toward Meng Hai and the others in the distance and said urgently:
"Send Origin Power into their bodies and wake them! I'm no match for those two evil cultivators!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Zishan raised his hand, formed a seal, and pointed toward the space behind Lu Mingyue.
"Thick Earth Shield!"
Rumble!
The ground shook, and an earthen shield more than a zhang thick instantly formed behind Lu Mingyue, measuring only five meters in height and width.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Almost the instant the earthen shield formed, Yang Qin's whirlwind arrived. Like sharp blades, it rapidly shaved the earthen shield thinner.
"Damn brat! You think waking her will save your life? A mere little cultivator at the Third Layer of Qi Refining! I'll slaughter her first and put an end to your hopes!"
Yang Qin's voice came through gritted teeth from behind the earthen shield. She had already appeared in midair atop a black cloud, with ten ghostly figures bristling with yin energy beside her.
"Not only will I kill this little bitch, I'll kill those ants too! Then I'll take my time dealing with you, you brat!"
As Yang Qin spoke, she waved a hand, and the ten ghostly figures immediately lunged toward Lu Mingyue.
Clearly, Bai Zishan's feint to the east and strike to the west had enraged her.
After all, in what she and her husband were doing, their greatest fear was an unexpected complication. By waking Lu Mingyue now, Bai Zishan was creating just such a complication, and she naturally could not suppress her anger.
"Fireball Technique!"
The fear on Bai Zishan's face intensified. He hurriedly formed a seal and spat out a fireball. Yet, seemingly because of the cultivation method he practiced, his fireball was only a little over a zhang across, unable to hold back the ten ghostly figures bristling with yin energy.
Though slow in the telling, all this had taken only a few breaths.
By now, Lu Mingyue had recovered her wits. Seeing that Bai Zishan's Fireball Technique, though weak, did indeed slow the ten ghostly figures somewhat, she realized that a spell of utmost yang and unyielding force might counter these demonic spells. Immediately, she formed hand seals, opened her mouth, and spat.
Whoomph!
A fireball four or five meters across materialized from Lu Mingyue's mouth and joined with Bai Zishan's fireball. It actually expanded into a fireball nearly ten meters across, radiating waves of intense heat that temporarily kept the ten ghostly figures from approaching.
"Brother Bai, hold on for now!"
Lu Mingyue glanced in surprise at the unusually fierce fireball. Knowing this was no time to dig to the roots of the matter, she called out to Bai Zishan, then leaped down beside Meng Hai and the others. Streams of Origin Power condensed at her fingertips, and she sent them into their bodies.
The instant Lu Mingyue looked away, a glimmer of excitement appeared deep in Bai Zishan's eyes as he gazed at the enormous fireball.
