Shangqing Province made a careful plan for the destruction of the artifact.

However, having never touched the Underworld before, they neglected the most crucial point.

The Instrument of the Dead has been born with self-consciousness!

The arrangement in the mountain temple could indeed help them strengthen the seal, but this behavior also led to fierce resistance from the spirit weapon.

The dark green gloomy beam illuminates the mountains and forests around the mountain temple.

The piercing cry spread in all directions, Yan Jing looked up, and saw that there was a ghost baby phantom in the sky above the temple that flashed away, followed by a rapid drop in the temperature in the mountains and forests, and the wind gusted, making people's hairs stand on end!

Even if the chains of golden spells soon trapped it completely, the situation was irreparable.

You must know that in the past, in order not to attract attention, they could only use small light clusters for lighting, but now this situation is not much different from installing a dozen high-power searchlights inside and outside the mountain temple.

It is impossible not to see unless the pursuers are blind.

"Fogged up......"

The knights of the rivers and lakes with their faces reflecting the light looked at the surrounding mountains and forests and shouted loudly.

"Guard, we must guard until the seal is reinforced, the mountain temple is our carefully selected foothold, most of the pursuers need time from discovery to arrival, the first to attack must be the Yin beasts and ghosts that can move quickly between the mountains and forests!"

At this point, it can only be blocked by soldiers, and the reinforcement of the seal has reached the most critical stage, and the people in the temple cannot come out to assist in the defense, otherwise it will be a failure.

You must know that the previous battle broke out in the afternoon, even if the mountains and forests here are special and the yin qi is extremely heavy, but there is sunshine, the imperial court can only send nightmare cavalry to chase and kill, but now in this environment, there is no limit to the obscure ghosts in the chasing army.

Everyone was waiting for the battle, and the three Taoist priests stood in an arc at the front of the team, Yan Jing ate the last two small pills, allowing his physical strength to recover quickly, and taking advantage of everyone's inattention, he took out an adrenaline injection and pricked it in the side of the neck.

It takes time for the elixir and the injection to take effect, and it will be too late to use it in the battle later, so you can only use it in advance.

Goo~Ga~

In the thick fog of the jungle, strange roars rang out one after another.

The aura that flowed out when the energy of the underworld erupted had a terrifying attraction to any filthy existence.

The adrenaline injection began to take effect, Yan Jing only felt that his heart was beating faster, his body, which was originally tired from the long journey, seemed to be as strong as a new life, and all the negative states faded in a short time, and some were just excited and highly concentrated.

He heard the sound of flapping wings in the sky, looked up, but saw more than a dozen pairs of scarlet eyes hanging high in the night, and couldn't help but remind in a loud voice,

"Watch the top of your head!"

Almost as soon as Yan Jing spoke, a "dark cloud" came down from the woods.

"Xue Rong, Zen Heart, follow me to set up the formation, town!"

Lu Chengfeng was also aware of it, pulled out his long sword, and pierced a talisman and held it high.

The other two moved in unison, holding the sword top talisman high in their right hand, and pinching out the law with their left hand, chanting words in their mouths.

A translucent energy barrier suddenly rose in front of the mountain temple.

With the glimmer of energy, Yan Jing finally saw the "dark cloud" clearly, it was a group of unusually large crows!

Even if there was a formation barrier, they didn't mean to stop at all, but launched a suicidal impact even more frantically.

The flesh and blood body collided with the formation in the high-speed movement, and without any accident, a large number of crows died directly, but the faces of the three Lu Chengfeng who saw this scene became more and more ugly.

The reason is simple.

These crows are all Yin beasts that have been refined, but before they die, they all spill dark brown blood.

Their blood sprinkled on the barrier of the magic circle was like boiling oil, and soon corroded several cavities, and even crows drilled directly into the holes, heading straight for the mountain temple in the rear.

Although these crows were only halfway through the flight and their heads were cut off by the sword of the knights guarding the rear, it was impossible to fill the gap.

Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, several beast roars came from the thick fog one after another.

Compared to the crows that flew directly towards the light, their speed was undoubtedly a beat slower, but when they arrived at this time, it seemed that they had calculated the right time, and the defensive circle was already riddled with holes due to the impact of the crow swarm.

The tiger wolf, which is often more than half a person high, stepped on the fallen leaves, and the fur on his body fell off in a large area due to the sorcery dying, showing the dark red flesh underneath, baring his teeth and roaring, saliva hanging down his lips and teeth, and looking at the eyes of everyone in front of the temple with ferocity.

What was even more terrifying was the more than a dozen vague humanoid figures that appeared behind these Yin Beasts.

Roar~

With a roar, the team of Yin Beasts and Evil Spirits rushed straight to the mountain temple.

"Close, kill!"

Lu Chengfeng's long sword pointed forward, and the talisman on the tip of the sword burned out of thin air, and the energy of the magic circle that had previously existed in the form of a barrier was suddenly dispersed and condensed into a slender light prism, which shot forward under the control of the three Taoist priests.

The yin beasts or ghosts that were hit all let out a miserable howl without exception, and the yin qi on their bodies dissipated in a large area, which can be called a standout effect!

However, the energy of the magic circle is limited after all, and after a round of volleys, there are still many Yin beasts and ghosts that break through the defense.

The scuffle broke out again.

It's just that the other side of the battle has changed from a nightmare rider to a more terrifying existence.

Fortunately, the knights were helped by the Shangqing Daoists on their previous journey, and the weapons in their hands were blessed by the talismans, so that they could not even cause damage to the Yin Beasts and Powerful Ghosts.

But even so, since most of the people in Shangqing Dao were in the mountain temple, the battlefield situation was still not optimistic.

The tiger wolf roared and rushed forward, and the ghost circled forward!

The faces of the crowd were calm and they retreated step by step, but one person came out of the crowd at this time and jumped straight into the herd.

In front of him, a fist smashed on the forehead of the flying evil tiger, blood gushed out from between his fingers, and Yan Jing's face was full of indifference with bloodshot eyes, and he took another step forward, wrapped his hands around the tiger's head, and slammed his knee straight into his jaw.

Hades three waves!

Turning around, the final blow was whipped on the wolf's waist with a whip leg, and the sound of bone cracking was particularly clear.

Yan Jing's charge undoubtedly attracted the attention of the Yin Beasts and Fierce Ghosts, and coupled with his prominent position, he was immediately besieged by a horde.

It was also because of Yan Jing's recklessness that the offensive that had already been pressed in front of the mountain temple was temporarily contained, and the people who had retreated again and again immediately tried to push the defense line forward.

However, this was only a temporary outbreak after all, Yan Jing relied on the adrenaline boost to hold on for a while, and it was impossible to really let himself be deeply encircled, so after a short period of delayed offensive, everyone inevitably retreated again.

What's even more troublesome is that as time goes by, the number of Yin Beasts and Evil Ghosts that appear in the dense fog continues to increase!
