Chapter 8: Mutation

"Extraordinary, the faceless stone statue is the medium that connects the human world and the netherworld, and my yin essence will tempt a yin soul to enter the circle through the stone statue. Yin spirits cannot act alone in our world, and if they want to eat the essence of yin energy, they must attach themselves to your body. At that time, I will activate the circle with all my strength and imprison it in you. You also need to keep your mind and not be deceived by its illusions. Mo Yan explained and reminded at the same time.

"Got it, Master. ”

Xu Bufan nodded, his dark and bright eyes staring at the faceless stone statue, not scared, but a little curious.

In front of him, the drifting black smoke slowly gathered in one place, condensing a distorted phantom, drifting towards him little by little.

This is the Shade, a creature of the Netherworld.

The Yin cannot exist in the human realm for long, and the instinct of survival makes it impatient to possess the nearest person.

Seeing the Yin Soul approaching, Xu Bufan did not perceive the threat of the Yin Soul to him, so he relaxed his vigilance and let the Yin Soul invade.

I don't want to, the mutation protrudes.

A hoarse and low roar suddenly came from the ground, and the ghost seemed to be frightened, and its twisted and changing body shook before it stopped moving. Immediately after, a huge blood-red palm suddenly poked out of the ground, grabbed the Yin Spirit, and gently pinched it, pinching it to burst.

Then the blood-red hand slowly retracted to the ground.

"This ...... This ......"

Mo Jiao, who was in charge of presiding over the magic circle, was also taken aback when he saw this sudden situation, and shouted loudly.

He has done this ritual of the Yin Soul entering the body dozens of times, and he has never had this kind of change.

What happened to that blood-red hand just now?

"Master, is this a failure of the ceremony?" Ma Zhong was also dumbfounded when he saw that Xu Bufan was the only one standing alone in the magic circle.

"As a teacherβ€”" Mo Yan opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to explain. As a powerhouse of the foundation realm, he couldn't understand what had just happened.

Liu Qingniu was still careful, pointed to the floor in the magic circle, frowned and said, "Master, look, a new mist has emerged from the magic circle. ”

Mo Jian and Ma Zhong hurriedly looked, only to see a billowing smoke coming out of the ground in the center of the magic circle like an evil dragon going out to sea.

This smoke was scarlet and viscous, and as soon as it appeared, it kept circling around Xu Bufan, forming a huge blood-colored ball.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Bufan's figure was covered.

"It's not good, this is a ghost king-level yin soul, it's extraordinarily dangerous. Mo Jiao looked at the scarlet smoke, his body trembled, as if he had thought of something, and shouted out in a lost voice.

"Master, what is a ghost king-level yin soul, I have only heard you say that there are two kinds of low-level yin souls and high-level yin souls before. Seeing that Mo was so out of shape, Ma Zhong hurriedly asked.

"Ghost king-level yin soul, this is also what I occasionally hear from the senior brother, there are countless yin things in the netherworld, and the yin soul is only the lowest level of yin things, on it, there are small ghosts, big ghosts, ghost generals, and ghost kings who rule one side of the underworld. Ordinary Yin Qi Essence can only attract low-level Yin Souls. If you use the high-grade yin qi essence condensed by the predecessors of the Jindan realm, you can summon big and small ghosts, and even ghost generals. Mo Jiao explained with a pale face.

"The seniors of the Jindan realm can only lead to ghost generals?" Liu Qingniu gasped and listened to the key points in his words.

"That's right, our Five Yin Sect is a branch of the Exorcism Sect, listening to Senior Brother, there is only one person in the history of the Exorcism Sect who led out the Ghost King when he opened the possession of the Silver Soul and successfully refined it. That person is the originator of the Exorcism Sect - the Ghost Barbarian Ancestor. After Mo Xuan finished speaking, there was also a trace of inexplicable horror in his eyes, looking at the scarlet smoke surging violently in the magic circle.

According to the classics, the vision of the Ghost Barbarian Ancestor when he opened the Yin Soul into his body was such a scarlet smoke.

"Doesn't it mean that Senior Brother Xu is expected to become a ghostly ancestor-like existence?" Ma Zhong rolled his eyes, and said unsurprised.

Mo Yan shook his head: "The ghost king is so domineering, in the netherworld, he is an existence like a primordial old monster. Although the Qiankun Demon Suppression Array was able to confine him to the large array and suppress him, he could only use one percent of his strength. But Bufan is just an ordinary person, even if it is one ten-thousandth of his strength, he can't resist it. It's not even something we can resist. At the beginning, the reason why the Ghost Barbarian Ancestor was able to succeed was because with the help of a magic weapon reincarnation magic flag, he suppressed the ghost king's spiritual wisdom and reluctantly imprisoned the ghost king. ”

Liu Qingniu's heart sank: "So we can't open the magic circle and let Senior Brother Xu escape?"

Mo Jiao nodded and sighed: "I'm afraid that what was released was not Xu Bufan, but a ghost in the Yuanying realm." If the Ghost King breaks the seal, not only our Five Yin Sect, but all the cultivation sects in the Qingling Mountain Range will experience a catastrophe. ”

"Shall we just watch Senior Brother Xu being devoured by the Ghost King?" Ma Zhong said in his heart.

"It can only be like this, sacrificing him alone in exchange for the peace of the Qingling Mountain Range. The Ghost King was suppressed by the Qiankun Demon Suppression Array, and his strength was limited, as long as we didn't open the magic array, he couldn't break free. Mo Jiao let out a long sigh, "I'll send a message right now to inform Master of this change." ”

As soon as the words fell, the scarlet smoke in the magic circle suddenly began to vibrate violently, attracting the attention of the three of them.

Xu Bufan stood in the magic circle, and the moment the blood-red big hand appeared, he felt a strong malice spreading out from the ground. Then, a pillar of scarlet smoke appeared, trapping him.

Then, in front of him, a blood-red figure with a height of blood quickly condensed from the red smoke. An inch-long blood-red light shot out from the position of the red figure's pupils, and swept coldly towards him.

After Xu Bufan keenly sensed the other party's malice, he immediately tensed his body, lowered his figure, and stared at the blood-red figure with all his attention. If you look closely, you will find that under the young man's calm and watery gaze, there is a layer of cold and cruel murderous aura floating in the forest.

The atmosphere in the circle became eerie.

The ferocious and terrifying aura emitted by the blood-red figure was like a boundless sea of blood with gusting waves, but Xu Bufan was like a sharp and solid and tenacious reef, which was suppressed by the terrifying aura emanating from the red figure, and was never affected.

At this time, the boy himself did not realize that his eyes also began to glow, and golden light shot out of his pupils.

After a few breaths, the golden mang became stronger and stronger, and turned into a substantial golden light, penetrating the smoke that blocked the red figure, allowing Xu Bufan to see the other party's true face clearly.

It was a monster that looked like a man and a ghost at three points, one foot tall, with green fangs, and was covered in fine black scales the size of a fingernail, and countless fine red rays of light swam between the gaps in the scales, disappearing and reappearing like tadpoles. Its body is slender and muscular, with a row of sharp bone spurs of varying lengths on its back and spine, and its palms and soles are almost identical, like the claws of some kind of beast, and its nails are narrow and sharp, flashing with a trace of blood red from time to time.

"Hey, hey, hey, the Kunpeng Spirit Blood is really extraordinary, and it can let you see my true nature. It's not in vain that I took the risk to come to the human realm. The monster was not surprised that Xu Bufan saw through his disguise, and smiled with his palms.

"Who are you, and what are you going to do?"

At the first glance of the monster, Xu Bufan knew that no matter what the other party was, it would never be a ghost who survived by instinct. He looked at the monster, and although he was not afraid, he also saw that the other party's skills were much higher than his. And when the monster appeared, it was surrounded by a column of scarlet smoke, isolating him from the outside world, leaving him alone.

I don't know if they have noticed anything unusual, Master.

Of course, Xu Bufan didn't know that his cheap master Mo Jiao had made the decision to abandon the car and protect the handsome man with great righteousness.

"Hey, hey, it doesn't matter who I am. The monster looked at Xu Bufan with interest, the young man was able to not fall behind in the confrontation of momentum, which really surprised him. The young man's heart is tenacious, even in the netherworld where he is struggling on the verge of life and death all the time, it is rare. If it weren't for the fact that he was in urgent need of Kunpeng spiritual blood because of his cultivation of a powerful technique, he might have brought the boy back to the Netherworld and cultivated him into an outstanding ghost general.

After he finished speaking, he took a deep breath and greedily sniffed the smell of Kunpeng spiritual blood emanating from Xu Bufan's body. It was this smell that woke him up from his cultivation and used a secret technique to sneak into the human realm.

"And what I'm going to do, you'll know soon. ”

The monster suddenly burst out laughing, and after dropping these words, his body began to burn from the bottom up, turning into a puff of scarlet flames and rushing towards Xu Bufan.

As long as this flame comes into contact with Xu Bufan, it can instantly refine him and refine a drop of Kunpeng spiritual blood.

Xu Bufan also saw the danger of the scarlet flame, but the speed of the flame was too fast, although he could see its flight trajectory with a gaze beyond ordinary people, his body didn't have time to react, and he watched the scarlet flame approach.

At the moment of his life, the young man's eyes were covered with a strong blood-colored murderous aura, and he shouted unwillingly, and touched the backpack with his backhand.

At the same time, his chest was violently hot. Then, a dazzling golden glow flew out of it, letting out a sharp roar, enveloping the flying scarlet flames and pulling them back into his body.

This......

Xu Bufan looked at the disappearing flames in front of him in a daze, and exhaled for a long time, and the cold sweat had soaked his back unconsciously.

He let go of the golden axe and hurriedly pulled open the placket of his chest, the golden carved tattoo sticking to his chest vividly, but the scarlet flame disappeared.

Xu Bufan guessed that the golden eagle had helped him at a critical time, so he closed his shirt, and regardless of whether the golden eagle tattoo could be heard, he patted his chest and grinned: "Thank you, the eagle." ”

The monster seemed to have been devoured by the golden eagle eagle and never appeared again, and the blood-red smoke around it began to slowly disappear, but it still couldn't see the situation outside the circle.

Xu Bufan looked left and right, and his gaze fell on the faceless stone statue not far away. He was also a young man, thinking that the stone statue seemed to smile at him just now, so he took advantage of the dissipation of the pillar of smoke to quickly walk to the side of the faceless stone statue, and curiously reached out and touched the head of the faceless stone statue.

Kerra!

No, as soon as his hand touched his head, a golden light bloomed in his palm. The stone statue was illuminated with golden light, and it turned into a cloud of dust at a speed visible to the naked eye, like spring snow. Immediately after, a jet of black smoke drifted out of the pile of falling dust, and it seemed that he was very afraid of the golden light, and he twisted his body to escape. saw the golden light transform into the shape of a palm, grabbed it, and dragged it back into the palm of his hand.

Before Xu Bufan could react, the golden light and pitch-black smoke all disappeared.

Are you out of control?

Xu Bufan flipped his palms back and forth, and looked at the small pile of dust left on the ground by the stone statue, and his black face was full of innocence.

Although he didn't know what was going on, judging from the process of what happened, it seemed that the palm of his hand had taken the initiative to give the stone statue a fatal blow.

Xu Bufan sighed helplessly, stared at his palm, and silently said "glow" in his heart.

However, it didn't help.

The palms of the hands did not glow again.

At this time, the surrounding smoke finally dissipated, and Xu Bufan immediately heard Ma Zhong's shout of surprise.

"Senior Brother Xu. ”

"Wait, he's not your Senior Brother Xu anymore. At this time, Master Mo spoke.
