Chapter 105: Massacre

  First, let's talk about Lei Dong. It seems he's heading in the direction of Li Chang'an, but how can we measure the Ghost Shadow Escape Technique with ordinary logic? After his battle with Bai Lixing, Lei Dong had already elevated his understanding and application of the Ghost Shadow Escape to another level. Adding that to his current cultivation at the 10th layer of Qi Refining, he was able to use it with a mastery akin to a perfectly controlled flame, elusive and unpredictable, yet maintaining a considerable distance from his opponent.

  Among the movements of the flowing clouds and water, the Ten Thousand Ghosts Flag was already in hand without knowing when. The ghosts and spirits were floating and drifting about. More than two hundred evil spirits, densely packed like a swarm of locusts, surged out and formed a black tide in the sky. The wailing of the ghosts was incessant as they pounced towards Li Chang'an with bared teeth and brandished claws. The ghostly guards were also extremely cunning, condensing into a mass of fog that blended in with the hundred ghosts, making it difficult to distinguish them from the ghostly tide.

  Ding Wanyan also knew that although Li Chang'an was already quite old when he reached the third layer of foundation building. However, this old demon who had mixed for so long and still hadn't died must have some tricks up his sleeve. At this point, she had no intention of holding back her strength, and as the Yin Evil Great Method unfolded, a half-transparent evil energy covered an area of ten zhang in diameter. With a gentle squeeze of her hand, the top-grade artifact Zhuque Mirror, which she hadn't used when fighting Dongfang Xiang, appeared in her hand.

  This Vermilion Bird Mirror, she had also refined it for a long time, but this was the first time she used it in battle. With a skilled grasp of the incantation, the intricately patterned and ancient Vermilion Bird Mirror burst into a brilliant flame, causing her long hair to flutter wildly, while her face remained extremely solemn.

  Suddenly, amidst the flashing red light, a beautiful large bird with a faint flame all over its body appeared in front of her out of thin air. Its appearance was somewhat similar to that of the legendary Vermilion Bird.

  "Go!"

  As soon as Ding Yuanyan shouted, the red bird's flames surged and it flapped its wings to fly extremely fast towards Li Chang'an.

  Li Chang'an originally heard from a distance that two Qi Refining stage cultivators wanted to slaughter him, and he was so angry that his face turned white. However, when he saw these two people, one of them summoned a ghost guard with the "Ghost Controlling Technique". The other one was even more exaggerated, summoning a fire bird from a copper mirror, its aura extremely powerful. Compared to ordinary Foundation Building stage cultivators at two or three layers, their aura was not inferior in the slightest. His face immediately turned stern, and he didn't dare to be careless in the slightest.

  At the same time, a loud shout was heard, and the dark and evil energy spread throughout his body. The same dark and evil technique, its power seemed to be several times stronger than Ding Yuanyan's. This is not surprising, although Li Chang'an's innate talent is far inferior to that of Ding Yuanyan, he has lived for over a hundred years and has reached the third layer of foundation building. Although his dark and evil technique was hindered by his cultivation and could not be fully displayed, it was still much stronger than Ding Yuanyan's.

  Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, naturally have the dignity of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. Especially Li Chang'an is also a descendant of the royal family and a disciple of the sect, not some scattered cultivator or wild practitioner. How could he be intimidated by these two insignificant Qi Refining stage small cultivators? He immediately gathered his killing intent, condensing it into several thin, semi-transparent dark blades. With a flick of his hand, the blades flew out, splitting towards both Shifu and his sister.

  Wang Kang saw that Lei Dong was actually thinking of taking on Li Chang'an with Ding Yuanyan, and he thought it was just a boastful remark. But seeing the two's powerful magic, and Lei Dong having the Ghost Guard by his side, he couldn't help but put down half a heart. However, after all, Ding Yuanyan was too important an existence for the Wan Gui Cave, and he didn't dare let her come to harm. So he also floated closer, not taking action, but constantly paying attention to whether the two were in danger, ready to lend a hand at any moment.

  Wu Di, who was standing on the second floor of the foundation, turned around and said to a group of Qi Refining disciples: "You go kill those scattered cultivators, kill as many as you can, practice your hands. Fifth Master will cover the array for you, to prevent anyone from escaping and leaving behind future troubles."

  Chen Ge and the others, seeing that they had the support of Zhu Shi's uncle, naturally became bolder, one by one revealing excited expressions, grinning as they displayed their skills, pouncing downwards. The scattered cultivators below, who had just come back to their senses from various states, ran out to see what was happening. Without a unified command, they charged forward impulsively, and when the situation turned unfavorable, they beat a retreat.

  Chen Ge and others were all members of the imperial clan, and whether it was their skills or equipment, they had to far surpass those loose cultivators who crawled and struggled in the mortal world. And among them, three people's strength was not weak at all, two of whom had refined their Qi to the seventh layer, while one had refined his body to the fifth layer.

  The air is ten layers thick. Compared to the scattered cultivators below, the vast majority are only four or five layers strong, and they have become much stronger. The only thing to fear is that these scattered cultivators will unite and work together in harmony. If they are like a plate of loose sand, they can only be defeated one by one.

  Facing several who wanted to escape, Wu Di let out a few sinister laughs. With both hands continuously pointing, he burst out a series of dark blue finger energies like a violent rainstorm. Hissing and hissing, like venomous snakes, they advanced in different directions, shooting towards those small scattered cultivators who wanted to retreat.

  "Foundation laid, butcher's finger pointed!"

  A discerning loose cultivator, terrified and desperate, shouted out. The Slaughter Spirit Finger seems to be a technique that many people in the Yin Evil Sect can use. In fact, this is a paired finger technique of the Profound Yin Great Method, which can also be cultivated separately. Even in the entire cultivation world, the Slaughter Spirit Finger is still one of the top-notch finger techniques. When cultivated to the deepest level, it can burst out a dazzling and dense dark blue light column in an instant, covering the sky and earth, like a real storm, with thousands of paths and no end. Even if there are tens of millions of living beings, they seem to be able to be slaughtered in an instant, which is also the origin of the name Slaughter Spirit Finger.

  If not, the Eastern Fragrance Sect's main cultivation technique wouldn't have included techniques like the Slaughter Soul Finger. Baili Yun, who was killed by Lei Dong, also cultivated the Slaughter Soul Finger as his main killing technique.

  The disciples of the Yin Jue Sect can cultivate as long as they accumulate some contribution value, but it does not mean that loose cultivators can also cultivate. The control of the sect over its techniques is still extremely strict. Anyone outside the sect who is found to have mastered a technique exclusive to the sect will be forcibly brought back, no matter where they flee to, even if they hide in another sect's lair. Using the Soul Searching Technique, their mastery of the technique will be forced out, and once it is discovered that it was passed on by a disciple of the Yin Jue Sect, they will be doomed, unable to die peacefully. Moreover, their family members will also be implicated.

  Pffftt...

  The Zhū Jī Shì's "Slaughter Spirit Finger" was unleashed, and its power was not to be underestimated. The dozen or so azure light pillars that burst forth shot towards the three Qi Refining Cultivators. Not only were their cultivations lowly, but even their defensive shields were tattered and worn out. Under the impact of the Slaughter Spirit Finger, all defenses collapsed instantly, and they were pierced through by the light pillars, meeting a fatal end.

  The momentum was so strong that the remaining scattered cultivators of the Wanxi Li family were terrified. Their original 10% combat power couldn't even be exerted to 7%, let alone their morale being high enough to jointly defend against the enemy. Under the loose sand, Zuo Chao and his three men were like tigers entering a flock of sheep, and in the blink of an eye, they each killed one or two people. Zuo Chao used a top-grade flying sword. Chen Ge, Wei Hua, and others also did well under Leidong's cover. One was a swallowtail-shaped artifact that burned with flames, agilely flying up and down in the air, waiting for opportunities to harvest lives. The other was a crimson-colored banner that emitted a bloody aura, constantly bursting out red blood mist, and once it wrapped around someone, that person would struggle free in an instant, and in a moment, that person would be melted into a pool of blood water along with their shield.

  The three of them were all using top-grade magic tools, which many scattered cultivators could not afford even after a lifetime of struggling. Moreover, they couldn't work together to resist the three magic tools that were as fierce as wolves and tigers, let alone the high-level cultivation of the sect disciples. The battle was like a collapse at the slightest touch. Such fighting power made everyone worry for nothing. Scattered cultivators are just scattered cultivators after all; very few can become a force to be reckoned with.

  As Dongfang Xiang, with his cultivation and identity, he didn't bother to take action against these scattered evil spirits. However, seeing Li Chang'an's seemingly unyielding appearance, a black flame shield hovered beside him, not only burning the incoming evil spirits to death one by one, but also wielding a black flame sword that chased after Lei Dong with swift and dangerous movements.

  At the same time, he also had to exert his full strength with the Yin Evil Great Method, using the evil blade and dark thunder to counterattack against the ghostly guards and firebirds' pincer attack, as well as Ding Yuanyan's endless condensed evil into thunder and dark evil palm. Although it was a bit disheveled, he could barely cope.

  It's probably because he was afraid that coming would be of no use, so he made a detour. Dongfang Xiang's body was shrouded in a mysterious and cold aura, and he suddenly joined the battle with lightning speed. Following Wu Di's example earlier, she let out a delicate shout, and her two fingers quickly pressed down one after another. In an instant, it was as if a chrysanthemum had bloomed, and a beam of light shot out in all directions, shining brightly. But in the blink of an eye, more than ten Soul-Extinguishing Finger techniques drew an arc, like a blue-green rain, shooting towards Li Chang'an.
