Xue Ying did not have a soul-summoning banner because she possessed the sect's divine Divine Artifact, the Ten Directions God-Severing Book, which was the black robe she wore.
Even though it was just a page from the Ten Directions God-Severing Book, it was still an unparalleled Divine Artifact to her.
Whether for cultivating Secret Method or refining ghostly creatures, the Ten Directions God-Severing Book is exceptionally powerful and useful.
This page of the Ten Directions God-Severing Book can also transform the void Law Domain, reflecting changes in the void from a distance.
It was through this Divine Ability that she found Wu Household Village based on the notes of the Heavenly Mystery Divine Lord.
Unexpectedly, the act of slaying the evil spirits triggered a strange change in the earth's structure, causing the ground to collapse with a deafening roar.
If it weren't for the Ten Directions God-Severing Book's ability to transform the void Law Domain, allowing her to escape from the underground tunnel, she would have died there.
The crimson evil spirit is extremely important; it is one of the keys to opening the Heavenly Mystery Divine Lord's cave abode.
Xue Ying didn't go far after her mistake; she knew the Lower Court would definitely intervene to deal with the evil spirit.
As a result, the Lower Court used a clumsy method, which turned out to be very effective.
Xue Ying watched as Zhou Wuji slayed the evil spirit, and the remnants of the evil spirit condensed into a crimson bead. Because Zhihe was present, she did not dare to try to snatch it.
Although she wasn't afraid of Zhihe, she didn't dare say she could kill Zhihe if the item fell into Zhihe's hands.
Without absolute certainty, she dared not use the Ten Directions God-Severing Book.
Once the news leaks out, not only will the Daoist and Buddhist sects not tolerate her, but even the strongest members of their own sects will try to seize this Divine Artifact.
She hadn't paid any attention to Zhou Wuji at first, but the fact that she sensed the pure Yang energy of the White Rainbow Sword moving away from the Lower Court piqued her interest.
After observing for a few days, she decided to first take down Zhou Wuji and inquire about the situation in the Lower Court.
In addition, she felt that exchanging Zhou Wuji for the evil spirit bead should not be a problem.
Zhihe values Zhou Wuji so much that it's impossible for her to fight to the death over such a trivial matter. Exchanging things for him would be the easiest solution.
The Daoist sect is high and mighty, but that's only in relation to ordinary Devil Cultivator.
At her rank, she naturally had the right to negotiate with the Cloud Dragon Lower Court.
Xue Ying had no intention of killing Zhou Wuji, so she only summoned two Fifth Rank Ghost General, which was already a great honor for Zhou Wuji.
The two ghostly figures swayed in the wind and transformed into two seven-foot-tall Ghost General, each with two pairs of red eyes, thick black scales naturally growing on their bodies, and long spears in their hands.
The Ghost General were also enhanced by dark red runes, which made them move as fast as the wind.
With a flash of black shadows, two Ghost General arrived in front of Zhou Wuji, each unleashing their spears to thrust directly at Zhou Wuji.
Zhou Wuji stepped back gracefully using the Tianji Step, and the True Qi flowing beneath his feet transformed into faint seven-pointed starlight, resonating and echoing the Tianji the nine heavens.
This is also because he has mastered the Tianji Sword and his Tianji Step has reached an extremely high level, far surpassing other footwork techniques.
His Divine Sense, True Qi, and Movement Method techniques were all in perfect harmony, making him feel as if he were walking on stars, as if he were no longer restricted by heaven and earth and could move freely in the void.
The agility of this footwork far surpasses Movement Method of the Flowing Cloud Sword.
Zhou Wuji has reached a state of perfection in the Xiaoxiang Sword, and in turn, he can completely integrate the Flowing Cloud Sword into the Tianji Step.
As he moved forward and backward, stepping on the stars, he possessed an ethereal grace reminiscent of flowing clouds.
Although the two Ghost General attacked swiftly, Zhou Wuji easily dodged them.
Xue Ying was also slightly surprised. This kid's footwork was incredibly skillful, allowing him to move freely within the Law Domain by the Ten Directions God-Severing Book.
She had long heard that the Northern Dipper Seven Star Sword of the Northern Pole Sect was extremely powerful. If Zhou Wuji was already so powerful, what kind of power must Zhihe possess!
This battle is also a good opportunity for her to see the changes in the Northern Dipper Seven Star Sword.
Xue Ying held a seal in her left hand within her long sleeves, summoning another Ghost General.
With the blessing of the Ten Directions God-Severing Book, she acquired seven Ghost General through cunning and force.
Against Devil Cultivator of the same level, she doesn't even need to lift a finger; simply summoning seven Ghost General is enough to easily annihilate the enemy.
However, the Ten Directions God-Severing Book is a divine Divine Artifact the Heavenly Ghost Sect, and she is only a mid-level member of the Heavenly Ghost Sect, so she dares not reveal the Ten Directions God-Severing Book on a regular basis.
On Old Dragon Island, there wasn't a single living person or even a living creature within a radius of dozens of miles.
Only then could Xue Ying unleash the Ten Directions God-Severing Book without any reservations.
The three Ghost General moved like the wind, their spears fierce and swift, yet they could never reach Zhou Wuji.
Zhou Wuji's movements were not only swift, but also exceptionally skillful.
The three Ghost General ultimately lacked intelligence; although they cooperated with each other, there were always various oversights and gaps.
I underestimated you.
Xue Ying watched for a while and became a little impatient. Zhou Wuji moved around freely with his changing footwork, but she couldn't see the true power of the Northern Dipper Seven Star Sword.
She held up a seal and cast a spell, releasing three more Ghost General.
The six Ghost General surrounded Zhou Wuji from all sides. Under Xue Ying's control, their coordination became even closer. In addition, the Ten Directions Spirit Severing Art Domain restricted the void, leaving Zhou Wuji with no room to move.
Zhou Wuji was also secretly surprised. Xue Ying's ability to refine six Ghost General was truly unbelievable at the Fifth Rank rank.
Moreover, Xue Ying controlled the flow of energy of these Ghost General with ease, seemingly consuming very little Divine Sense or True Qi.
He had intended to find an opportunity to kill Xue Ying with one sword, but Xue Ying still had strength left, and must have protective Law Technique and Divine Ability.
Even if there is an opportunity to launch a sneak attack, it is difficult to succeed in one strike, and instead, it will put oneself in danger.
With that in mind, Zhou Wuji decided to kill the six Ghost General first.
Even if it can't break through the Ghost General's core, the White Rainbow Sword can still annihilate most of the Ghost General General's spiritual energy, making it difficult for Xue Ying to control in a short time, which can greatly deplete Xue Ying's strength.
Six Ghost General surrounded Zhou Wuji and thrust their spears at him. The Yin Qi they released grew stronger and stronger, affecting the Big Dipper Heavenly Gang Divine Incantation on Zhou Wuji's body, and the light on his azure robes quickly dimmed.
Xue Ying was very confident. She controlled the Ghost General with minimal energy consumption thanks to the Ten Directions God-Severing Book.
The six Ghost General released increasingly stronger Yin Qi, slowly wearing him down. They didn't even need to make a direct move; the sheer intensity of their Yin Qi was enough to erode Zhou Wuji's body and mind, making it easy to capture him.
Zhou Wuji, who was standing on the seven-pointed star, suddenly paused slightly.
This gave Xue Ying an opportunity, and she commanded six Ghost General to surround Zhou Wuji from both sides.
Six long spears crossed and thrust at Zhou Wuji Zhou Wuji, intending to pierce him from both ends.
Xue Ying didn't want to kill Zhou Wuji, but this kid's Swordsmanship Movement Method were too high. She had to subdue Zhou Wuji Zhou Wuji, since he wouldn't die immediately anyway.
Zhou Wuji inhaled and contracted his abdomen, shrinking his body to its limit. The six jet-black spears still pierced his body, directly tearing through his azure light robe, but were blocked by the Heavenly Robe transformed from the Heavenly Puppet.
Six long spears drew streaks of sparks, grazing past Zhou Wuji's protective azure Heavenly Robe...
Before the six Ghost Soldier could transform, the White Rainbow Sword in Zhou Wuji's hand shone brightly, turning into a dazzling sun.
Xue Ying sensed something was wrong and tried to recall the Ghost General, but the six Ghost General had already been cut in half at the waist by the blazing sword wheel.
The Ghost General's body was as hard as steel, but under the White Rainbow Sword, it was no different from tofu.
Zhou Wuji unleashed the power of the Sunset Sword; it was so fierce that it could cleave even a body made of steel in two with a single strike.
The pure yang energy of the White Rainbow Sword penetrated deep into the bodies of the Ghost General, annihilating the Yin Spirit they had gathered.
Before the blazing sun had even dissipated, the six Ghost General had already turned into wisps of black smoke.
Xue Ying was both shocked and furious. This kid had such fierce Swordsmanship, yet he had been holding back all along. Just now, she was afraid of killing Zhou Wuji, so she even controlled the Ghost General to hold back three-tenths of its power.
As a result, the six Ghost General annihilated by a single sword strike, their spirituality almost completely destroyed.
She hurriedly held up the seal and waved her sleeve, using the Ten Directions God-Severing Book to collect the remaining Yin Qi of the Ghost General.
Zhou Wuji, who had just succeeded in his attack, stepped on a seven-pointed star and instantly appeared in front of Xue Ying.
Although Xue Ying was shocked and angry, she was not afraid. She waved her long sleeves once more, and dark red runes flashed, forming a barrier of Ten Directions Law Domain in front of her.
The void changes contained within these barriers are a unique supernatural Divine Ability inherent in the Ten Directions God-Severing Book.
No matter how an external force attacks, it will be redirected in another direction by an invisible barrier.
Invisible barriers intertwine, temporarily dividing the void into sections. Divine Sense within these sections are confused by the changes in the void, unable to locate her true position.
The six Ghost General were defeated, but they did not harm Xue Ying fundamentally. However, she needed some time to recover and adjust her True Qi.
Xue Ying also realized Zhou Wuji's ruthlessness and power. She made up her mind that if she made another move, she would unleash the Seven Yin Soul-Seizing Sword with all her might and finish off Zhou Wuji first, regardless of whether he lived or died!
Although she was confident, she dared not hold back any longer when facing such a powerful swordsman...
Zhou Wuji rode his sword straight ahead, he immediately sensed the obstruction of the invisible barrier. His perception of space was also affected, and he couldn't distinguish east from west for a moment.
He didn't know where he was, let alone where Xue Ying was.
At the critical moment, Zhou Wuji's brow shone with Divine Aperture light, resonating with the Big Dipper Seven Stars in the heavens.
The Big Dipper Seven Stars became his eyes, and as his gaze moved, it immediately locked onto his position, as well as Xue Ying was only a few feet away from him.
Zhou Wuji cast Rejuvenation Technique on himself, consuming a large amount of True Qi and Divine Sense to quickly return to his peak.
He then activated the Big Dipper Heavenly Gang Divine Incantation contained within his Daoist robe, and the azure light enveloped his entire body once more.
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Wuji had made all the preparations. He channeled the Tianji Profound Yang Sword Qi, and the White Rainbow Sword in his hand once again shone with an extremely dazzling divine light.
The thick darkness was torn apart by divine light, and countless runes formed Law Domain that was illuminated.
Hiding behind the void barrier, Xue Ying felt a chill run down her spine. Such intense Sword Qi, such domineering and supremely yang Sword Intent! This kid's Swordsmanship is actually so advanced!
Xue Ying's lips curled into a cold smile. No matter how powerful and intense her Swordsmanship, it was useless. Zhou Wuji couldn't break through the Ten Directions Law Domain at all. He could only rely on brute force to fight back, but he couldn't hurt her in the slightest. It was even more impossible for him to break through the Ten Directions Law Domain with brute force.
Zhou Wuji moved, and the White Rainbow Sword transformed once again into a blazing sword wheel, slashing straight down. The invisible void barrier shattered in response to the sword, producing a crisp sound like shattered glass.
Zhou Wuji unleashed this sword strike with almost all his might. Its power was immense; not only were layers of void barriers shattered, but the Sword Qi also caused rocks to crumble and trees to break, leaving a deep sword mark several feet long in the mountains and forests.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xue Ying activated the Seven Yin Soul-Seizing Sword. The black longsword flew out silently in an arc, piercing straight towards Zhou Wuji's back.
Zhou Wuji sensed something was wrong, and with a backhand strike, his sword transformed into a sun wheel once more, slashing directly at the Seven Yin Soul-Seizing Sword.
The black longsword immediately broke and shattered.
Xue Ying didn't care. This sword was made from the Yin Qi of the Ghost General. The six Ghost General were severely injured, which affected the power of the Seven Yin Soul-Seizing Sword.
The true power of this sword lies not in its sharpness, but in the Seven Yin Sword Qi contained within it. It can penetrate deep into the enemy's body and mind unknowingly through the interaction of their Qi, stimulating the Yin Devil deep within their hearts.
Whether one is a cultivator or a martial artist, everyone has Yin Devil within their heart.
The Heavenly Ghost Sect Sect's method involves activating the Yin Devil within, drawing upon the Yin Qi of heaven and earth through these Yin Devil, and then slaying the Yin Devil to nourish oneself.
Although Daoist cultivation is a righteous path and is protected by deities in the heavens, enabling one to cultivate Pure Yang nature, it cannot truly eliminate the Yin Devil in one's heart.
Zhou Wuji is young and has a strong desire for violence, so the Yin Devil in his heart must be even stronger.
The Yin Devil are rampant, corrupting people's minds.
In such a fierce battle, if Zhou Wuji were to develop negative emotions such as rage, mania, or fear, he would be doomed.
Seeing Zhou Wuji unleash terrifying divine power, Xue Ying no longer cared about capturing him alive; she now only wanted to kill this young Daoist as soon as possible!
