Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Fierce Battle in the Forest
"Where is the other person?"
Li Ye asked again.
Mu Ye smiled carelessly and said, "Just follow . I planted a Divine Sense Mark in the Ghost-Expelling Talisman that kid has. The kid has only just started practicing the Yin Talisman Technique and won’t notice my Divine Sense Mark... At this mont, he’s probably still desperately searching for a Yin Soul for the Spirit Stone I promised."
Mu Ye slipped into the forest.
Li Ye quickly followed.
All the way, it was still silent.
Through the forest they went, heading towards Wen Jiu at the Cold Pond.
As they drew closer, the murderous intent in Li Ye’s eyes grew even stronger.
Being of a heterodox dao.
They should die unspeakably.
The main peak...
Is not where you belong!
...
By the Cold Pond.
Wen Jiu hid in the treetop of the dense forest, about ten zhang away from the Cold Pond. The Black Corpse concealed its breath beside him, impossible to detect their presence without ticulous Divine Sense exploration.
As for that Signal Talisman and Ghost-Expelling Talisman, Wen Jiu threw them into the Cold Pond, wrapping them at the poolside with the Yin Technique.
But while Wen Jiu waited, he suddenly felt the surrounding air grow exceptionally cold. A chill comparable to the Corpse Remains Death Land pierced through his clothing, seeping into his skin.
However, this sudden intense cold was nothing to him, but it made Wen Jiu aware of sothing amiss.
The Corpse Remains Death Land did not have such fierce Yin energy.
Much less in this Lianwu Mountain.
As he pondered, gusts of sinister wind rose within the forest.
Then ca the rustling sound.
Wen Jiu instantly realized sothing and imdiately ordered the Black Corpse to perform the Three Rivers Ghost Concealnt, completely hiding its presence.
It’s coming.
The Yin Soul has arrived.
But the Night Patrol Departnt’s intelligence was incorrect.
That Yin Soul was far from being as simple as one comparable to the Qi Cultivation Third Layer, for even after being weakened by daylight, Wen Jiu could still clearly feel its sinister nature and the terrifying aura he had never encountered before.
The next mont.
A gust of Yin wind swept below Wen Jiu, heading straight for the Cold Pond.
The Cold Pond instantly rippled, and a sensation like a gale’s whistle brought along a carefree feeling, making one’s heart palpitate.
Wen Jiu imdiately focused his eyes using the Yin Technique, observing the true form of the Yin Soul, but as soon as he glanced, he felt soone treading the wind and leaves within the forest.
Through the tiny gaps in the treetops, Wen Jiu looked intently and saw the rapidly approaching figure was none other than Mu Ye.
Behind him was a person in black clothes, at Qi Cultivation Third Layer, with features unclear, but from the silhouette, it must undoubtedly be Li Ye.
"Well-tid."
Wen Jiu felt a surge of joy, then quickly shot a Tier One Lower Exorcism Talisman he’d picked up while scavenging corpses in the past at the Yin Soul by the Cold Pond.
The quality was not high.
Just at the initial Tier One Lower Grade.
But it was enough to infuriate the Yin Soul by the Cold Pond.
Boom—
The Exorcism Talisman transford into a Startled Swan arrow, exploding loudly by the Cold Pond.
The half-faced Yin Soul, which was absorbing Celestial Killing Water from the Cold Pond, instantly flew into rage, its half-face and remaining eye rapidly scanning the surroundings, angrily searching for the one who disturbed it, and then it spotted Li Ye and Mu Ye heading its way.
Even during the day, the half-faced Yin Soul imdiately erupted with surging cold ghost aura, with its power escalating to the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer.
"Die!"
The half-faced Yin Soul spat out the word in fury before charging at Li Ye and Mu Ye.
At the sa ti, hearing the explosion of the Exorcism Talisman, the two stopped in their tracks, barely had ti to think before feeling a torrent of ghost aura sweep toward them, within monts it was upon them.
"Yin Soul!"
"Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer!"
The expression on Mu Ye’s face changed first, as he quickly retrieved several decent Ghost-Expelling Talismans from his storage bag. However, upon being thrown, they could only slow down the half-faced Yin Soul’s actions.
Their faces changed imdiately, as there was no ti to contemplate what had happened, they swiftly retreated.
This Yin Soul was far stronger than they thought.
Being able to withstand several Ghost-Expelling Talismans’ attacks during broad daylight showed just how formidable its strength was.
"What’s happening? Why did such a fierce Yin Soul suddenly show up?" Li Ye quickly pulled out his Long Sword Spiritual Artifact, controlling the sword as he retreated, attacking the half-faced Yin Soul, yet the Yin Soul ca ever closer.
Helplessly, he could only perform the Wind Patrol Sword Technique, one of the Night Patrol Departnt’s top ten sword techniques.
The flying sword suddenly surged with streaks of golden light, temporarily suppressing the Yin Soul advancing toward him.
But it was only a temporary suppression.
Seeing this, Mu Ye also quickly took out a hamr-shaped Magical Artifact, perford a spell gesture to unleash his trump technique, the Hundred Gold Hamr. Also one of the Night Patrol Departnt’s top ten techniques, only those in the departnt for over five years at steward-level could practice it.
Bang!
Mu Ye wielded the hamr and flew towards the Yin Soul, striking repeatedly and releasing torrential ghost aura, thus fully suppressing it. However, neither the Wind Patrol Sword Technique nor the Hundred Gold Hamr were the best ans to deal with the Yin Soul before them, so no matter how fiercely the two attacked, the half-faced Yin Soul continued with overwhelming montum.
Mu Ye spoke solemnly, unable to pause the large hamr in his hand, "This guy should be the evil spirit that killed the Spirit Farr Departnt disciples!"
"That’s redundant!"
Li Ye was extrely displeased.
He worried that today’s plan to kill Wen Jiu would end without a hitch, making it more difficult to find another opportunity because since the announcent, more people had taken notice of Wen Jiu.
The various departnt stewards, who previously disregarded the heterodox dao, were now intent on drawing him in, after all, Wen Jiu would indeed steadily enter the main peak.
Mu Ye was equally anxious, feeling his Hundred Gold Hamr seed ineffective.
If this continued in such a drain.
If his Dantian Magical Power was overly consud, the trouble would be huge.
"Damn it, how can this Yin Soul be so powerful during the day?"
"Full power, attack!"
As the two spoke.
A trace of excitent erged on Wen Jiu’s lips.
This Yin Soul was so formidable, just to his liking!
The next mont, the Black Corpse appeared, whipping up surging ghost aura and rushing forward, within breaths it attacked the two’s surroundings, then bypassed the half-faced Yin Soul, darting straight toward Li Ye who was performing sword control and constant maneuvering within the forest.
Li Ye’s expression changed drastically.
However, the next mont, Li Ye’s expression froze instantly.
The change was due to surprise.
Why is there another one?
But the expression froze because he felt the familiar ghost aura — the one that killed Fang Zheng and the others!
"It’s it!"
Li Ye exclaid in joy.
This was the culprit the Elder was looking for.
However.
Li Ye’s joyful smile halted abruptly the next mont, as the Black Corpse had already charged forth, even if Li Ye hurriedly perford a spell gesture to retrieve his sword, holding it before him, attempting to attack the Black Corpse with the Wind Patrol Sword Technique, but the Magical Artifact landing on the Black Corpse’s body made him feel far more powerful than the half-faced Yin Soul.
Moreover, regardless of how the Wind Patrol Sword Technique attacked, it couldn’t stop the Black Corpse’s advance.
Seeing the Black Corpse suddenly erupt ghost aura, pouncing over, Li Ye hurriedly used sword control as a shield in front of him, while crushing several Protective Talismans, yet a re "bang" was heard, and the Black Corpse with surging ghost aura shattered the protective barrier.
Bang!
Li Ye along with the Long Sword Spiritual Artifact simultaneously flew out, crashing into a large tree trunk before halting.
Pfft—
Li Ye just wanted to get up, but couldn’t help spewing a mouthful of blood, followed by a thought that filled him with dread erging spontaneously.
Strong.
This ghost was exceedingly strong.
Its body was shockingly stronger than the half-faced Yin Soul comparable to Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer.
[A bit late.
Sorry.]
