Chapter 238: Killing The Enemy

Black aura surged.

It forced the Ice Cicada Forest to be isolated from the world.

However, the isolation of one’s perception was not the true isolation.

Jiang Lan looked in the direction of the request for help. He could clearly feel that the power there was being suppressed. The black aura could devour the power of others.

“It doesn’t look simple. I wonder if the request for help was successful.”

The sword aura from before did not successfully request for help. It only reached those in the Ice Cicada Forest like him.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to see all of this.

“Let’s head over and take a look. If I can, I’ll find the source and destroy it.”

“If I don’t have enough strength— Then I shall go back and ask for help.”

Now that this place had been discovered by others, it was much more convenient to ask for help.

Jiang Lan walked forward to check out the situation.

Then he would decide how to act.

He slowly walked towards the location of the request for help.

He was making preparations. He was constantly circulating his Power of Nine Bulls, and he was sparing some magic treasures that he had never used before.

If he was not prepared, he might not be able to unleash his full strength.

And it was easy for him to be in a pa.s.sive position.

Jiang Lan advanced towards the black aura. He saw that the black aura was getting thicker and thicker.

And his vision started to be unrestricted.

He knew that he would reach his destination soon.

…

Lu Jian swept through two rows of ghost cultivators, sword intent wreaking havoc as sparks flew. The sword rose and fell. As the figure stopped, ghostly cultivators were cut down.

Every sword of Lu Jian carried a powerful sword intent that swept in all directions, sweeping everything before it.

However, the sword intent that should have caused quite a bit of damage to the forest disappeared not long after.

It was devoured by darkness.

Disintegrated by the black aura.

Fortunately, those that were at a close distance from him were still affected by his strike. Those ghostly cultivators absorbed all the damage.

Boom!

Sword light swept past, and Lu Jian rushed into another two rows of ghostly cultivators.

He pressed forward without fear of his injuries.

“Senior Brother, watch your back.”

Suddenly, a voice boomed out as a long sword descended from the skies. The power of the eight trigrams suppressed out in all directions.

It blocked the sudden attack from behind.

At this moment, Lu Jian sensed something. He turned around and frowned.

At some point, four ghostly cultivators had appeared behind him.

He knew the reason with a single glance.

Without thinking of battle, he forced the ghost cultivator in front of him to retreat.

Meanwhile, the ghost cultivators behind were being attacked by two spell techniques, so they had no time to attack Lu Jian.

Soon, he landed among the three of them with some injuries.

Hong Luan did not hesitate to cast a healing spell.

She was probably the only one among the four who was proficient in such a spell technique.

“It can rea.s.semble its own body, and the ghostly aura has blocked our senses.” Lu Jian immediately revealed the discovery.

“Their physical body is strong. It was easy for me to kill them, but—”

These ghost cultivators could reform their bodies and continue fighting.

And it was impossible for them to communicate with the other party.

“It should be very difficult to kill them directly with the ghost qi maintaining them. They need to be sealed,” Lin An said as he looked at the fully recovered ghost cultivators.

If they did not seal them, it would just be an endless battle.

The four of them weren’t strong enough to drain the ghost qi.

“I’ll kill him,” Lu Jian said as he gripped his sword.

“I’ll deal the finis.h.i.+ng blow to ensure that the dead won’t regroup. However, don’t kill too quickly, Senior Brother Lu Jian. I can’t keep up,” Lin An said.

Bei Fang held out his hand and the sword returned to his hand. He placed it behind him.

“I’ll seal it, but it will take some time.”

Then, the three of them looked at Hong Luan.

“Are you saying that I can only be a nurse?” Fairy Hong Luan was somewhat dissatisfied.

“No, I remember that Junior Sister Hong Luan’s control spells are quite powerful,” Lu Jian said.

“If a ghost cultivator suddenly appears in the vicinity, I’ll leave it to Junior Sister.”

Hong Luan: “…”

These people were too much.

“Why didn’t they attack?” Lu Jian was curious.

Would the ghost cultivators stand there and let them discuss countermeasures?

Obviously not.

“The ghost gate is wide open. The two rows of ghost soldiers who came out first should have called for reinforcements after sensing danger. Let’s act now.” Bei Fang said immediately.

Without any hesitation, Lin An made a hand seal.

A blinding white light appeared in his hand. Then, it shot into the air and bloomed.

“Light of Destruction!”

Boom!

The light shone in all directions and expelled the black aura.

It illuminated those ghostly cultivators like raging flames.

Roar!

The ghost cultivators let out a furious roar and started attacking the four people.

Hong Luan extended her hand, and a red light appeared from it.

Then, the light enveloped the ghost cultivator, seemingly to delay his movements.

Lu Jian took a step forward and arrived in front of the ghost cultivator. With a flash of sword light, the ghost cultivator was split into two.

Then, he threw the corpse behind him.

No one knew when Bei Fang had a sword case on his back. He looked at the corpses of the ghost soldiers that were about to be rea.s.sembled and took out a Eight Trigrams Sword from the sword case.

Then, the power of the Eight Trigrams appeared on the sword hilt as if it was condensing a spell technique, an array formation.

It was a sealing technique.

Once the sealing technique was completed, Bei Fang stabbed the sword into the ghost cultivator’s forehead.

In an instant, the restructuring of the ghost soldiers stopped.

“Next.”

Bei Fang said.

“It seems very simple,” Hong Luan said.

“Yes, for now that is.” Bei Fang nodded.

“It’s indeed very simple. After all, these swords were prepared in advance. Unfortunately, there are only nine of them. It will become difficult after all is used.”

Lin An smiled warmly.

“As long as they don’t have any more reinforcements, it won’t be a problem.”

Boom!

All of a sudden, the black aura began to proliferate.

Da da!

Footsteps sounded from the darkness again.

The trio: “…”

“At this time, we should do everything we can to kill the enemy and not think about the enemies.” While killing the enemy, he felt like the three behind him were just giving him more trouble.

The three of them didn’t say anything and continued to seal the ghost soldiers.

…

After a long time, the party started to retreat.

At this moment, Lu Jian’s body was covered in wounds, and his sword was stained with blood.

Lin An also had some injuries on his body.

The sword case on Bei Fang’s back had already been put away, and his face was unusually pale.

Hong Luan was using a healing spell to heal her arm that revealed her white bones.

More and more ghost cultivators appeared. The other party was not just asking for reinforcements. It was as though the Ghost Gates had already been opened.

“Think of a way to escape this place.” Lu Jian held his sword and looked at the dense number of ghost cultivators.

The more there were, the faster they would recover.

The sealing could no longer keep up.

Moreover, the number of seals they had to make was simply unrealistic.

If they had sealed the two rows of ghost cultivators from the start, they would not have been in such a pa.s.sive position.

“We won’t be able to escape. I’ve tried it. The ghost qi here has formed a maze. No matter what, we will return here.” Bei Fang shook his head and said.

“We still have to try.” Lu Jian moved his hand and looked at the ghost cultivator not far away.

“Junior Brother Lin, use your evil-vanquis.h.i.+ng technique to try and bring them away. I can hold them off for a while.”

“Senior Brother, the bodies of hundreds of Human Immortals and Perfected Immortals can exhaust you completely even if the ghost soldiers can’t use any spell techniques.” Lin An shook his head.

“Junior Brother Bei Fang’s reinforcements might be a little slow, but it won’t be ineffective. As long as we hold on long enough, there will be a chance. ”

“If it’s just defense, then it can last until tomorrow,” Hong Luan said.

“Impossible.” Bei Fang shook his head and said.

“The Ba Country’s Ghost Gate is about to open and the otherworldly soldiers will make their way here.”

“Roar!”

A large number of ghost soldiers roared towards the sky, as if they were shouting at the party.

It was as if they wanted to let Lu Jian and the rest continue to attack.

“I feel like they’re taunting us.” For a moment, Lu Jian looked at the ghost cultivators.

If it weren’t for the fact that he couldn’t kill them, he could have killed all of these ghost cultivators by himself.

“Humans are so weak.” A low voice suddenly came from the ghost cultivators.

“Is Kunlun so weak?”

Hearing the voice, the crowd frowned.

This was no longer an ordinary ghost cultivator.

They leaned together, wary of their surroundings.

However, just as this ghost cultivator finished speaking, footsteps suddenly sounded from a dark corner.

Ta!

Ta!
