Ghoulies and Ghosties, Skeleton Puppets
The enormous sword blade cleaved through Lü Dongbin 'Lü Dongbin clothes and pierced his chest.
A bloodstain immediately appeared on Lü Dongbin's chest, and blood flowed out along the bloodstain, dripping onto the ground.
Lü Dongbin felt a sharp pain in his chest, and he couldn't help but groan, a trickle of bright red liquid spilling from the corner of his mouth.
Looking at his chest, a look of anger flashed across Lü Dongbin's face. Then, Lü Dongbin quickly put the Nine Yang Treasure Cauldron back into his body, made hand Hand Seals, and then quickly cast a spell. Suddenly, a vortex appeared in the space around him, and in the vortex, a series of illusory figures appeared.
The illusory figure held various weapons.
The Nine Yang Treasure Cauldron and the Nine Yang Treasure Pagoda instantly transformed into two streams of light, hurtling towards the illusory figure.
"Ah!"
Upon seeing the Nine Yang Treasure Cauldron and Nine Yang Treasure Pagoda attacking him, the illusory figure cried out in alarm and quickly retreated.
We were still a step too late.
The bombardment from the Nine Yang Treasure Cauldron and the Nine Yang Treasure Pagoda struck the illusory figure fiercely, shattering it completely. Wisps of black energy surged out from the gray air currents scattered in the sky.
The gray aura condensed and took shape, then quickly solidified into a skeleton. The skeleton lunged at Lü Dongbin, wielding a black longsword that radiated a terrifying Sha Qi as it slashed at him.
Lü Dongbin sneered and pointed lightly at the skeleton.
The black longsword in the skeleton's hand suddenly became incredibly solid, and then it swung violently forward.
The longsword in the skeleton's hand slashed at the skeleton formed from black energy, and the longsword was instantly absorbed into the black energy.
A scream rang out, and the black longsword instantly turned into a wisp of green smoke and vanished without a trace.
After the skeleton was swallowed by the black aura, its form quickly solidified into a skeleton puppet, which then swiftly fled in all directions.
As soon as the skeleton puppet escaped, the black aura quickly dissipated.
Watching the skeleton puppet flee in the distance, the Devil Dao cultivator's face darkened. He never imagined that his years of hard work would be ruined by this Human Race cultivator.
But the Devil Dao cultivator's eyes were filled with greed as he looked at Lü Dongbin and said, "Heh heh, kid, you're quite clever. You actually know to use your True Essence to block my attack. I admit, you're strong. My attack is ineffective against you. I have other methods."
After speaking, the Devil Dao cultivator flipped his right hand, and a jet-black bead appeared. The bead hovered in mid-air, emitting a dazzling black light. As soon as the bead appeared, gusts of wind swept around it.
Amidst the howling wind, there were thick, black wisps, carrying the scent of death that made every pore on one's body involuntarily open.
The Devil Dao cultivator looked at Lü Dongbin in the distance and laughed loudly, saying, "Boy, you're lucky. My black Death Pearl is called the Netherworld Ghost Eyeball. It can devour any living being, whether it's Demon Beast, Devil Beast, or Human Race cultivator. None can escape its attack range. Its function is limited; it can only be used against cultivators and is of little use against enemies."
"If it's Demon Race cultivator, they won't be afraid of your Death Pearl at all. When you encounter Demon Race cultivator, you must try to stay away from them as much as possible to escape. However, if you encounter a human cultivator, this Death Pearl will be too useless against them."
Upon hearing the words of the Devil Dao cultivator, Lü Dongbin calmly replied, "Is that so? It seems I will not let you go today!"
As he finished Devil Dao, black mist surged from the Devil Dao cultivator's body, and a sinister aura emanated from him. Small black figures continuously appeared around him.
Those little black figures were all black demons summoned by the Devil Dao cultivators. As soon as they appeared, they bared their fangs and claws and rushed towards Lü Dongbin.
The evil spirits were incredibly fast; in the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of Lü Dongbin, swinging their fists and blasting at Lü Dongbin.
Seeing the evil spirits attacking him, Lü Dongbin remained calm. He extended his left index finger and touched the skull. The skull immediately flew in front of Lü Dongbin and blasted towards the evil spirits.
All that could be heard were loud bangs; the moment the evil spirits came into contact with the skull, they were all blasted away by it.
A look of surprise appeared on the face of the Devil Dao cultivator.
He hadn't expected that the Human Race cultivator before him would possess such formidable strength, capable of blasting his evil spirits into dust with his own physical body.
Seeing his evil spirit blasted into dust, the Devil Dao cultivator was enraged. He roared and swung his longsword at the skeleton again. Streams of black energy flew out of the sword and rushed towards the skeleton.
The streams of black energy shot out and quickly converged, condensing into a black sphere in the air. Once the black sphere was formed, the streams of black energy rapidly entered it.
The black mass of air began to spin rapidly, and within that spinning motion, it expanded quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the black stream of air had grown to the size of a basketball. Within the black stream of air, it was constantly writhing and making cracking sounds. The black sphere seemed to be getting smaller and smaller.
Just as the black mass of energy was expanding, it suddenly shrank rapidly, eventually turning into tiny black beads about the size of a thumb, which floated in the air.
The moment those black beads appeared, an eerie aura instantly filled the entire sky.
"Hmph, brat, I'll send you to your death right now." Looking at Lü Dongbin before him, Devil Dao cultivator revealed a ferocious expression. He gripped the black bead tightly in his right hand and tossed it toward Lü Dongbin.
