Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Ghost Emperor Blocks the Way
Before the Tang Dynasty, monks would often be able to shatter the void at will at the eighth level, but now, due to the balance of heaven and earth, only when they reach the peak of the twelfth level can they shatter the void.
Shi Chi died with a mere ninth-level shattered void, although it was due to the mystery of the Aurora Sword, and the gate of the ruins was not completely closed, but after some operations, his clothes were also soaked with hot sweat, and his soul power was fully depleted by nearly seventy percent, and his consciousness was a little trance.
Fortunately, the Xuanhuang Soul Seal operated spontaneously, and when the group all walked into the spatial rift, Shi Chi Xuan had already recovered seventy or eighty percent.
There was no time to sigh at the subtlety of the Xuanhuang Soul Seal, and Shi Chiyan's eyes were already attracted by the surrounding environment.
Behind the spatial rift was actually a wide hall, but it was covered with countless corpses, some of which could be seen in human form, some of which were the bones of various beasts, and some of which could not even be estimated in shape before death, and these corpses were piled up, almost filling the entire hall.
Zhou Xing and the others were already so frightened that they couldn't speak, Feng Qing was quite calm, and He Baishao was the most exaggerated, and he actually raised the SLR with excitement on his face and took a shot.
Shi Chi Yan squatted down and took a closer look, and found that these bones were all covered with a thick layer of dust, and the weapons scattered on the ground were also covered with rust spots, without any spiritual light, obviously the time when these people died in battle was no less than 10,000 years away.
Slowly exhaled the turbid breath, Shi Chi died's face was solemn, there was nothing else in the ruins, what I was most afraid of was that this kind of corpses and bones were piled up, and there were more than 10,000 years of history, the more this kind of place, the more likely it was to give birth to extremely terrifying ghosts.
It is said that the Dunjia Sect once excavated a 70,000-year-old ruins, which was originally a sect of the ancient family, and later all died because of the war, and the ghosts were trapped in the ruins.
That battle almost destroyed all the radius, but fortunately, the dragon group, the Daomen, and the ghost Dao all shot together to kill the ghost emperor in the ruins, but in this battle alone, there were eighteen people killed in the tenth rank, and there were countless people in the ninth and eighth ranks, and even the eleventh level killed three people and seriously injured eight people.
Standing up, Shi Chi Yan was about to let everyone exit first, Feng Qing suddenly sighed, walked to a few corpses, leaned over to look, looked back, and waited: "Brother Gushan, these bones seem to have just died a few days ago." ”
Shi Chi was stunned for a moment, walked over quickly, and after looking at it, his face condensed slightly, those corpse bones were indeed as Feng Qing said, although they looked little different from other corpse bones, but there was no dust on the surface, and the color was slightly crystalline, they should all be cultivators before they were alive, and they died not long ago, no more than ten days at most.
However, after the death of these people, the flesh and blood were devoured, leaving only a bare skeleton, and only a few long swords were scattered around them, making it difficult to distinguish the origin.
Shaking his head, Shi Chi Yan got up and said: "This place should be ten thousand years old, and the corpses and bones are piled up, I'm afraid that there will be top-level ghosts, so let's go out first." ”
"What about Fei Fei?" Zhou Xing said urgently.
Glancing at him, Shi Chiyan shook his head and said, "I can't save it, at least not now." ”
"Why don't you go in first?" Feng Qing was still a little unwilling, and hesitated, "Or let them go out first, you and I ......."
Seeing Shi Chi Yan's eyes sneering, his voice also stopped abruptly, Shi Chi Yan met them in Pingshui, and bringing them over was already a kindness, so he couldn't go in and investigate with him!
Seeing that it suddenly quieted down, He Baishao asked, "Chi Yan, that opening seems to be gone, can you still open it?" ”
Shi Chi was startled, turned around, and sure enough, he saw that the spatial rift had disappeared, he hurriedly walked over and tried to open the passage again with the Aurora Sword.
But just outside, it was still relatively easy for Shi Chi Yan to sense the passage ban, and now he had sensed it for more than ten minutes, and he couldn't sense the passage ban, obviously this passage had to be opened from the inside, which was several times more difficult than from the outside.
Shi Chiyan withdrew his hand with an ugly face, gritted his teeth and said, "I can't open it." ”
"What?" Rong Mao's face changed greatly, and he said hurriedly, "Then how can we get out?" ”
"Call, call now!" Zhou Xing reacted and hurriedly took out his mobile phone, but found that there was no signal at all.
Seeing that both of them took out their mobile phones, the corners of Shi Chi's mouth twitched, if there is a signal here, then China's communication providers are too powerful.
Shaking his head, Shi Chi Yan suppressed his distracting thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "Since you can't get out, you can only go inside, Bai Shao, Feng Qing, a few of you stay here, I'll go in and see the situation." ”
"Brother Gushan, I'll go with you!" Feng Qing said urgently.
Shi Chi Yan waved his hand and said: "The situation here is unknown, you stay to protect them, I am fast, and I can escape back in case of danger." ”
"Be careful." He Baishao said in a low voice.
With a wave of his hand, Shi Chi Yan turned around and walked into the hall, and soon came to the other end.
There are two corridors here, but the depths of the two exude two completely different breaths, one is the ghost aura that Shi Chi Di is very familiar with, and the other is relatively unfamiliar, but Shi Chi Di is slightly sensitive, and finds that it is very similar to the breath of the Thousand Buddha Pavilion that day, most of which is the breath of Buddhism.
"Hell? Buddha gas? Shi Chi Jian frowned slightly, and his heart sank.
In ancient times, there was a war in the human world called the War of the Second Flood Famine.
Originally, there were five major groups of cultivators in the human world: martial artists, Taoists, cultivators, and warlocks and fighters in the West, but later, for some reason, the cultivator group fought against the other four groups, and finally returned to the cultivation realm.
This is the first stage of the battle of the flood and famine, and the second stage is that the ghost world and the Buddha world took advantage of the internal strife in the human world and the gap between the vitality and the great damage to the human world, and fought a fierce battle with the four major groups of warriors, Taoists, warlocks, and fighters.
These two corridors exude ghost and Buddha qi respectively, could it be that this ruin is a certain base of ghosts and Buddhas in ancient times?
Jia Feifei and Xu Li were captured by ghosts, so if you want to find them, you have to go to this corridor that exudes a ghostly aura.
Thinking in his heart, Shi Chi Yan took out the Evil Heart Sword and stepped into this corridor.
As soon as he stepped in, Shi Chi felt as if he had passed through some invisible qi wall, and the surrounding area was even more yin, and there seemed to be a barrier between this corridor and the hall, isolating most of the ghost qi inside.
From the outside, there was nothing unusual about this corridor, but after Chi Yan walked along the corridor for a few minutes, there were several bones along the way from time to time, and the deeper he went, the more bones there became, almost covering the entire ground.
Seeing this, Shi Chi Yan's heart became more and more vigilant, and he was about to turn a corner, when he suddenly swung his sword and slashed a scythe from behind the corner.
When the sparks splashed around, Shi Chi's pupils shrank, and he saw a hideous face through Mars.
Seeing the ghost holding the scythe, Shi Chi Yan was about to fight back, but saw nine more ghosts rushing out from behind the corner, some holding swords, shields and guns, and some simply with empty hands, one by one the ghosts were surging, screaming and pounced.
With a sweep of thoughts, Shi Chi Di's heart was a little calm, although these ten ghosts were violent, but the strongest of them was only at the level of ghost pawns, and they did not pose a threat to him.
The sword light flashed, and a pale flame exploded in front of Shi Chi Yan's body, and in an instant, it turned into a sword gang and rushed away, and the ghost holding the scythe bore the brunt, and was instantly torn apart by the sword gang holding the spirit extinguishing cangyan, and then Shi Chi Yan's wrist shook slightly, and the sword gang was divided into thousands of blade shadows, hazy and blurred, like a phantom, but it was sharp and unparalleled, and the three ghost pawns that followed him were annihilated one after another.
"Ghost General! He's a ghost general! Seeing this, the last ghost roared and turned his head to run, while several other ghosts rushed up in a hurry, and his violent thoughts were almost condensed into substance, constantly impacting the soul mansion that had been dying for a long time.
"Get out!" With a light spit out in his mouth, Shi Chi Xuan's sword light swayed, and the Shadow Sword Technique was matched with the Spirit Extinguishing Cangyan, almost to the peak, and those ghost pawns couldn't even block it, so they were swept away by him with a sword.
As soon as these ghosts were resolved, Shi Chi Di didn't have time to think about whether to chase or retreat, and a majestic ghost aura suddenly gushed out from the depths of the corridor, raging like a storm, and the corpses and bones along the way turned into powder in an instant, submerged into the ghost frenzy, and swept away towards Shi Chi Di.
Feeling the terrifying thoughts contained in that ghostly aura, Shi Chiyan's heart sank, the thunder wings behind him unfolded, and the thunder light had already retreated.
It's just that he is fast, and the speed of the ghost qi wave is not slow, and in a few breaths, he has chased to two meters in front of Shi Chi Di's body, and a ghost in armor appeared, shouting angrily at him, and it was actually shaking Shi Chi Di's soul mansion turbulently, and his soul body trembled violently, making his consciousness blurred for several seconds.
As soon as he came back to his senses, Shi Chi Di had already stopped with a sigh, because in the seconds he had just lost his mind, the ghost had already rushed behind him, completely blocking Shi Chi Di's retreat.
"Ghost, Ghost Emperor!" Ma Khan's bloody voice almost became a few tones higher, and Niu Sanshan also clenched the thunder hammer, and the bull's eyes were full of solemnity.
Shi Chi Yan was also shaken, this person who blocked his way was clearly a ghost emperor powerhouse.
Just as he was about to face a great enemy, the Ghost Emperor looked at him a few times, and suddenly said in a hoarse voice, "Who are you?" ”
Shi Chi Yan swallowed his saliva, hesitated for a moment, and saw that the ghost emperor's eyes were gradually impatient, so he put away his sword and hugged his fist: "The younger generation is late to die." ”
The Ghost Emperor's body was covered by armor, and he couldn't see his expression, only a pair of dark green pupils were revealed, he looked at it for a moment, and said lightly: "Are you a ghost?" ”
Shi Chi Yan was slightly stunned, and nodded subconsciously, the ghost emperor snorted, and then the armor melted inch by inch, revealing the body inside.
After arriving at the realm of the Ghost Emperor, the body of the ghost is no longer as vague as before, but condenses the soul body like the true form period of the Ghost Dao, so the image of this Ghost Emperor is different from those ghost pawns before, and it looks like a living person.
This ghost emperor should have been in his thirties before his death, with thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, a square face and beard, and a scar on the top and bottom of his left eye.
Surprisingly, the ghost emperor actually showed a very reluctant smile: "Trapped here for more than 1,700 years, I finally met a little friend of the ghost path." ”
