Chapter 175 Yin Sha Corpse Fire

they realized that the surrounding forest seemed to be collapsing. The sharp branches surged towards them like a tidal wave. 。Pig Seven cried out to heaven for mercy in fright. 。As a cultivator of...“Who dares intrude upon my domain Not only do you fail to pay your respects, but you also dare to kill my disciples. Tell me, how should I punish you”

As Yue Song and the other were searching everywhere, a dark cloud descended from above. With black clothes fluttering in the wind, Ge Changting arrived with his disciples.

"A mere ghost cultivator dares to call himself honorable, he's gotten too big for his britches. Get out of my way, I have no time for you right now." Niu Jingtai said coldly.

"Quack quack, very good, quite bold. Since this deity ascended to the Ghost Marquis rank, few have dared speak to me like this. Conveniently, my subordinates are still short two Ghost Marquis-level skeletons. You two, oblige us by offering your souls for this deity's command."

Ge Changting laughed heartily, his hands on his waist.

"Little ghost cultivator, you don't know when to die!" Niu Jingtai slapped his storage pouch, and a hulking black bull puppet, several feet tall with two horns and four red eyes, crashed to the ground from the air.

The ox-shaped puppet snorted heavily, its nostrils releasing a thick and terrifying aura of spiritual fire.

"Four Eyes Cow Fire! No wonder he's so arrogant." Ge Changting's pupils constricted. The Four-Eyed Cow Fire was also a very rare masculine fire, its power being several times stronger than the innate yang fire emitted by Qi Condensation cultivators. It had an extremely powerful restraining effect on Yin Sha ghosts and monsters.

“Not bad, you're smart enough to scram. This young master doesn't have the energy to waste on the both of you.” Although Niu Jingtai had taken out his puppet beast, he didn't want to make a big fuss with this powerful ghost cultivator. After all, finding Lu Xiaottian as soon as possible and retrieving the Qianzhú Sect's teachings was the priority.

“You want to die You think a measly Four-Eyed Ox Fire can do anything to me” Ge Changting’s eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he pulled out a small bottle of pure azure. A torrent of green flames poured from the bottle, flowing like quicksilver, engulfing an area dozens of meters in radius in an instant. Ge Changting chuckled ominously, “Let’s see if your Four-Eyed Ox Fire is more powerful, or my Yin Sha Corpse Fire!”

“So much Yin Sha Corpse Fire!” Both Niu Jingtai and Yue Song were shocked. Although they didn't know how difficult it was to refine Yin Sha Corpse Fire, even ordinary mortals’ corpses could only produce a small wisp of Corpse Fire. With such a large expanse of Corpse Fire, it would probably take at least collecting nearly a million people. Not to mention that it is Yin Sha Corpse Fire.”

This is a big problem now. Yue Song originally thought Niu Jingtai's action of provoking this ghost cultivator was extremely reckless, because Niu Jingtai's four-eyed ox fire had a certain restraining effect on ghost cultivators, so he didn't stop him. But seeing the methods used by this ghost cultivator in front of them had already exceeded the limits of their ability to bear.

“Wait!” Yue Song hurriedly shouted.

"It's too late. Do you think I'm playing house with you" Ge Changting sneered. At this time, the green Yin Sha Corpse Fire had already spread to a radius of several miles around him. This area was like a sea of green fire, and the trees within range began to slowly turn black and lose their vitality. In the blink of an eye, this area of several miles became a barren wasteland devoid of life.

The surging green fire wave drove Niu Jingtai and Yue Song madly towards each other.

“Get to it!” The arrogance on Niu Jingtai’s face had vanished, replaced by a pale countenance. The massive bull-shaped puppet opened its mouth and unleashed a wave of crimson flames that clashed with the surging black corpse fire.

Sijimu niuhuo is yanggang's fire, yin sha shi huo is the thing of ghosts and demons. The two are as incompatible as water and fire, clashing immediately when they meet.

Zzzzzz....................

Two flames were visibly consuming each other.

Although Yue Song had erected his spiritual shield, he could still feel the sinister and icy power of the Yin Sha Corpse Fire surging upward. It was too late to blame Niu Jingtai now. Without hesitation, he also took out a giant blue centipede puppet.

The azure centipede was six or seven zhang long. Though large in size, it was unusually agile. Yue Song placed a mid-grade spirit stone in a groove. The centipede puppet raised its head and spat out a massive beam of light carrying destructive energy, piercing through the green fire sea and shooting towards Ge Changting.

“I haven't been idle these past few days.” Ge Changting remained unfazed. With another wave of his hand, hundreds of towering white bone skeletons formed a defensive line before him. They wielded bone spears and swords, and the leading few even held shields woven from bone. Compared to the rudimentary skeletons wielded by his disciples, these were undoubtedly a level above.

Hundreds of tall white skeletons hurled bone spears and bone swords at the incoming beam of light. They were quickly repelled, the skeletons dodging the ricocheting weapons and throwing them again. This repeated several times, destroying over ten skeletons, but the beam's power was also depleted.

But at this time, the skeletons surged forward into the flames, charging towards the Yin Sha Corpse Fire. The Yin Sha Corpse Fire did not harm them in the slightest, but instead intensified their ferocious flames. They advanced in formation, their momentum formidable.

The ox-shaped puppet's gaping maw spewed forth four-eyed bullfire, but alas, against the surging tide of ghostly corpse fire, it felt like a mere drop in the bucket.

The centipede puppet, relying on its powerful body, crushed several skeletons with a single movement. However, more than ten skeletons that had been scattered by the light beams before were now struggling to rise from the ground under the influence of the Yin Sha Corpse Fire. They picked up nearby hand bones and foot bones, piecing them together, and then rejoined the group of skeletons attacking Niu Jingtai and Yue Song.

“Senior Brother Niu, this guy is too ruthless. If we stay here any longer, we’ll be exhausted by this ghost cultivator sooner or later. It's best to leave!,” Seeing the Yin Sha corpse fire closing in, even with a protective shield up, Yue Song could feel the chilling aura emanating from it. After controlling his centipede puppet to repel the approaching skeletons, Yue Song leaped into the air.

Niu Jingtai also knew that he was a bit overconfident. Although this ghost cultivator's cultivation wasn't high, the group of skeletons under his control, nourished by the Yin Sha Corpse Fire, could be scattered and recover again. They were endless. To attack the black-robed ghost cultivator through these skeletons was like a fool's dream. Yue Song was right; it was indeed impossible to fight any longer.

Ge Changting smiled faintly, reaching out with a hand to clap forward. The Yin Sha corpse fire gently puffed and swelled, rolling towards the two of them in mid-air.

However, those skeletons could not fly into the air. Although the yin sha corpse fire was a threat to foundation-building cultivators, it was still not enough to kill them with one blow. Seeing that the two people had already flown into the air, Ge Changting looked annoyed. He should have killed more spiritual birds and refined them into flying corpses. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let these two very good prey escape. Once he killed these two foundation-building cultivators and refined them into skeletons, his strength would increase several times over. But that was just wishful thinking. With his strength, it was easy to kill one person, but the opponent was two people, advancing and retreating together. He couldn't stop them, so he could only watch helplessly as they flew higher and higher, leaving the range of the yin sha corpse fire.

“This cultivator of ghost arts is indeed formidable.” Yue Song and the other, having narrowly escaped, were far from at ease. Looking down at the burning green inferno below, they both felt a lingering sense of fear. If they had been alone, there was no way either of them could have escaped the opponent's pursuit. Fortunately, despite the ghost cultivator's power, he wasn't strong enough to kill them both simultaneously in a short amount of time. Even so, it was terrifyingly close. If they didn't escape immediately, they would only be worn down and eventually defeated.

"Damn it!" Looking at the two people running away, Ge Changting was furious.

“Master, Master, what should we do now” the eldest disciple, a black-robed man, trembled and asked. He was afraid that his master’s anger would fall upon him.

"What can we do Foundation Establishment cultivators have already arrived here. Who knows when the news here will spread If it's just a few wandering cultivators, that's fine, but if those disciples from major immortal sects come, once they go out, I'm afraid that before long, even more powerful people will come. We can't stay here."

Ge Changting weighed his options. He had only recently advanced to the Ghost Marquis realm, so while he was considered formidable compared to some newly established Foundation Establishment cultivators, he would be in danger if he faced a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator. He might not even be able to escape. Furthermore, his Yin Sha Corpse Fire still had room for improvement. Once his foundation was solid, he could kill one or two early-Foundation Establishment cultivators and refine their skeletons into undead warriors. By then, even a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator would be unable to harm him.

Looking at this sea of corpses, any small-scale collection like before is probably too late. It seems we have to act quickly.

Having made up his mind, Ge Changting controlled the Yin Sha Corpse Fire as it surged forward relentlessly. In the fields and mountains, wisps of Corpse Fire constantly rose from the bodies strewn about, being absorbed by the sea of flames.

Lu Xia Tian had just finished the preliminary refining of the bronze puppet. Although his control over it was still some distance from the Yellow Elder he had encountered before, he could still command it into battle, making it a reliable aid.

Hm Even here in the cave, he felt a bone-chilling coldness seeping through the rocks. It pierced him directly, and even as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he felt incredibly uncomfortable. Lu Xiaoteng left the cave and saw, hundreds of meters away, a wave of green flames surging towards him.

Yin Sha Corpse Fire! Lu Xia Tian's pupils constricted, hurriedly driving the Split Earth Knife to the sky. He feared being affected by these Yin Sha Corpse Fires. Even from this distance, he felt unwell. If they engulfed him, it would be a terrible consequence.

"Another lone Foundation Establishment cultivator, haha, it seems heaven is helping me!" Originally, Ge Changting was disheartened by Yue Song and the other's escape, but there was nothing he could do. After all, they had stubbornly chosen to flee, and he couldn't stop them single-handedly. Unexpectedly, just after those two left, another Foundation Establishment cultivator appeared at his doorstep. With only one person, it would be difficult to escape his grasp. Ge Changting stepped on a flying hook, without saying a word, his withered palm waved, a dark cloud rolled, transforming into a wolf's head that fiercely bit towards Lu Xiaoteng.

"Comparable to a Ghost Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage." This catastrophe caused by this conflict between nations, even if it wasn't orchestrated by the Ghost Cultivator in front of them, was probably still involved. A killing intent flashed in Lu Xiaotian's eyes, he acted without mercy. His Earth-Splitting Saber shimmered with golden light, cleaving through the wolf head formed from the ominous clouds with one strike. The momentum didn't cease, and in a blink, it rushed to the Ghost Cultivator's head, as unstoppable as Mount Tai, bringing down a devastating blow.

Ge Changting was startled. He hadn't expected the young man's flying knife to be so sharp, but he had no intention of fighting Lu Xiaotien in the air anyway. Moreover, with this single strike, even if it was just him, he probably couldn't block it. Ge Changting dove towards the ground, simultaneously summoning a huge bone shield and then calling forth those hundreds of skeletons.

After hundreds of skeletons appeared, they each threw their bone spears and javelins. On Ge Changting's bone shield, a thick layer was woven once again.

The cleaving sword slashed down from the air, striking the bone shield with a resounding boom. Ge Changting was struck as if by lightning, his body plummeting violently into the sea of fire below. Fortunately, the skeletons beneath cushioned his fall, otherwise, he would have been badly injured. Even so, he crushed several skeletons beneath him. After spitting out a mouthful of blood and wiping the blood from his lips, Ge Changting looked up at Lu Xiaotien who was still in the air, preparing to attack again. "This golden sword is quite good, sharp indeed. But do you think that's all my means"

Having said that, Ge Changting let out a strange laugh. With a flick of his five fingers, the yin cloud wolf head shattered by the earth-cleaving blade did not dissipate but instead transformed into a net woven from ghostly energy, shrouding Lu Xiaoteng's head.

"As long as we force this boy into the Yin Sha Corpse Fire and don't let him escape, he will eventually be drained of his life. Two of them are hard to contain, so how could one run away" Ge Changting thought fiercely in his heart. Luckily, he had just attracted the attack of the golden saber just now, otherwise, with only this gray net, it would have been impossible to stop him."

It is indeed a bit tricky, but to think that this little trick could stop him is to overestimate oneself. Breaking through this gray net wouldn't be difficult for Lu Xiaottian, but the audacity of this ghost cultivator... Thinking about how many souls perished in this disaster, Lu Xiaottian's hand naturally became colder.

A huge ice seal hangs in the air, covering everything with frost. It is a chilling imprint of the frigid wilderness.

At the same time, the Splitting Earth Blade returned, shattering the gray net atop his head. The floating dust motes vanished in the golden light.

“Instant spell!” Ge Changting's eyes flashed with a hint of fear and disbelief. To be able to cast such a powerful spell instantly at the Qi Refining stage, he had never heard of it before. I'm afraid even a Golden Core cultivator might not be able to do it.

Today's luck is really bad. First, I met two Foundation Establishment cultivators and let them escape. Now I've encountered another young man who can't be judged by common sense. If he wanted to escape, with his current combat strength, it would probably be difficult to stop him. If he wanted to run away, he could have left now, but it seems he has no intention of doing so. Instead, he wants to get rid of me. Well, that's his own doing. This Ice Seal is indeed powerful, but relying on this technique alone to deal with him is far from enough.

Over a hundred skeletons stretched out their bone spears and swords, trying to hold back the giant ice seal that was pressing down on them like a mountain.

Lu Xia Tian's lips curled into a cold smile. These skeletons were naturally different from immortal cultivators, they were just skeletons, but each skeleton had a certain spirit awareness, which could be used by ghost cultivators to command them through secret arts for group combat and understand some simple commands. Of course, complex battle orders could not be completed by these skeletons alone. As long as there was spirit awareness, divine consciousness attacks like Bing Po Xuan Yin could take effect. Now that he was in the Foundation Establishment period, Bing Po Xuan Yin had little effect against cultivators of the same rank, but it was almost an undefendable existence against enemies whose strength was far below his own.eally think that blocking this demon’s two attacks means you can sit back and relax” 。“After being startled, the middle-aged man in blue armor laughed again. No matter how strong Lu Xiaottian’s method...
