Chapter Fifteen: Bloody Battle to the End

  Four people, old and young, were rushing towards the large array that had been set up in advance. Fang Qinghe asked, "Senior, wasn't that red thread ball just now the Turtle King?" Murong Daoye smiled slightly: "If even those insects can't be fooled, wouldn't it be a waste of time?" Chang Yunshan burst out laughing: "I said, Master Uncle, when I saw you take action earlier, I thought you were going to risk your life. Who would have thought it was just a false alarm!"

  The four of them, young and old, all burst out laughing. Mu Daozi smiled slightly: "When strong, take by strategy; when weak, capture alive! Now that the other side is stronger than us, we have to resort to some tricks. Stop wasting words, hurry up and enter the grand formation. We'd rather exhaust our skills and die in battle than lose face for our ancestors!"

  As they spoke, the four people arrived at the big formation. Just as they stood still, a shrill and eerie cry was heard from behind them, followed by a red light that rushed to their faces! The few of them were shocked in their hearts, secretly thinking that it had come so quickly! Then they heard Ge Kun's cold laugh: "Mu Linchi, no matter how many tricks you have up your sleeve, you can't escape the palm of my hand!"

  "Ha! Boundless Heavenly Venerable, Ge Kun, don't be too pleased yet. It's still uncertain who will die by whose hand!" As soon as he finished speaking, Daoist Master's feet shook and his dust-sweeping sleeves fluttered, shouting loudly: "Form the array!"

  It was just a sudden movement, but the sky shook and the earth trembled. Looking around again, the scene turned pitch black, with only the Bagua Taiji diagram on the ground shining brightly, dazzling to the eyes!

  At this moment, the four people of different ages stood in a square formation, each facing one direction. Above their heads were four precious mirrors, and two golden bells shone brightly around them. Looking further outwards, five Excalibur-like swords floated in mid-air, swaying gently with the wind as they hovered and moved through the air, emitting colorful halos of light. Surrounding them were seventy-two banners inscribed with magical symbols, sixty-four stone generals standing at attention, arranged into eight square formations. The eight gates rotated in unison, and all that could be heard was the stone generals shouting in unison: "Destroy!"

  The sound was like thunder, shaking the flowing clouds. Ge Kun looked at the formation in front of him and slightly furrowed his brow, opening his mouth to laugh: "I didn't think you'd also left a move, great! I'll take a look to see whether your big formation is powerful or my treasure is even better!"

  He raised his hand, and the black mantis behind him let out a loud roar. His entire body suddenly burst into flames of a blood-red color! The four people, young and old, immediately felt a surge of dark and evil energy sweep across the scene, piercing through their bodies with an icy chill that calmed their souls.

  The Master of the Curtain waved his hand, and a puff of dust flew out. Suddenly, the wind chime above let out a loud hum, and a circle of light swept over, dispelling the evil energy! Ge Kun sneered and pointed at the four people with the Master of the Curtain, saying in a sinister tone: "Not one will be left!" ?? Four Small Yin Gates 15

  As soon as the words fell, a red light burst into the formation. In an instant, shouts of killing filled the air, and the evil energy surged to the sky. Looking again at the sixty-four stone generals, they were fighting together with the blood-colored black demon! For a moment, the strong winds swept across the field, and the thunderous sounds shook the heavens. Only then did one see that the sixty-four stone generals had divided into two teams: one team used the lock-character seal to tightly capture this monster, while the other team raised their stone mallets to attack it with all their might.

  Look at that Black Mantle, such a stormy attack, yet it was not damaged in the slightest. Only to see its body suddenly shaking, did it shake off the few Stone Generals who had grabbed onto it, and with a lift of its four strange hooves, it sent the surrounding Stone Generals flying outwards, for a time the two sides were evenly matched in their fierce battle.

  Ge Kun shouted loudly, "You scoundrel, stop playing around and get to work!" As soon as he said that, the black mantis let out a strange cry, its aura suddenly surging. At this moment, the black mantis was standing on flying sand, its body swaying wildly. Looking around, several stone generals who had rushed up were suddenly smashed into powder by it!

  Seeing the monster so ferocious, Mu Daozi let out a loud shout: "Change formation!" As soon as the words fell, Shi Jiang withdrew and the seventy-two three-colored flags came in with the wind. It was like a heavenly net that surrounded the monster in the middle. Daozi recited incantations, pointed decisively at one point: "Refine!" There were several loud explosions, and when looking back at the scene, flames burst out wildly, thunder and lightning crackled!

  It was as if a thunderous electric net had descended from the sky, striking the black mantis in the arena! The black mantis's entire body was shrouded in rolling black smoke, and it let out a deafening screech. At that moment, a whirlwind blew by, and within it, three-colored flames erupted! The black mantis opened its snake-like mouth, and a flash of red light shot out, causing seven or eight Buddhist flags to be struck with a loud crash!

  Dào Yé hastily sat down cross-legged, reciting incantations, and saw the remaining stone fly into the formation. At this time, the formation was filled with thunder and flames, and human figures were shaking wildly. Wáng Sì Gǔ and the three others watched with clenched fists, their palms sweating coldly.

  Look at Hei Mantie in the formation, under the attack of thunder and flames, his whole body is shaking violently. After loudly roaring and kicking several stones into pieces, a red liquid suddenly starts flowing out from all over his body. Ge Kun knows that he has just been born and hasn't fully grown yet, so he hastily raises his hand to summon a large number of black vines and green bamboos, which rush into the formation.

  Unfortunately, he underestimated the Taiji Qiankun Great Array. As soon as the black vines and green bamboos entered the array, they turned into wisps of smoke in an instant! Ge Kun was shocked in his heart, never expecting the array to be so powerful! Looking at the monster inside the array again, it let out a loud roar, suddenly jumped up, and several red lights flashed. The stone statues and flags around were blown to pieces!

  Mantuo's body shook violently, and a small amount of blood flowed from his mouth. Then he saw that the incantation in his hand changed again, and those five suspended Exterminating Immortal Swords shot out with a few sword hums!

  Ge Kun let out a strange cry, as if he had gone mad, his staff waving wildly in his hand. With one final flick of his wrist, he hurled it towards the front lines. As soon as the staff hit the ground, a cloud of black smoke erupted, and after the dust settled, a giant spider with a red-haired ghostly face appeared. The spider was over three feet long, resembling a small hill. It spat out threads from its tail, entangling the five flying treasured swords one by one!

  Chang Yunshan shouted, "How detestable!" and hastily pinched his fingers to recite an incantation. On the top of his head, four mirrors appeared on all sides. Several people saw a flash of golden light above their heads. Four beams of light shot straight at the ghost-faced spider. A miserable cry was heard, and the spider silk spat out by the ghost-faced spider melted!

  Five Exterminating Immortal Swords gained freedom and immediately flew around in circles. After a few whooshing sounds, when they looked for that spider again, it had already been cut into several segments!

  Ge Kun let out a mournful cry, spitting out fresh blood. Only now did he realize the ferocity of this Taiji Qiankun Great Formation. He suddenly lifted his head and saw five treasured swords, accompanied by a radiant glow of a million colors, shooting straight towards him!

  Ge Kun was shocked and hastily pulled out a black bamboo tube carved with strange flower patterns. He saw him suddenly slamming it to the ground, after a burst of pungent black smoke, a giant dark green scorpion appeared. Unfortunately, this scorpion was too short-lived, just standing firm, when a bell rang, a wave of sonic waves passed, and looking at it again, Ge Kun was also knocked to the ground at the same time!

  Ge Kun fell to the ground with seven orifices bleeding, and then looked at that dark green giant scorpion, which was pierced by five Exterminating Immortal Swords in its abdomen, and it actually died on the spot! ?? Four Small Yin Gates 15

  Ge Kun let out a series of strange howls on the ground, took off a small bronze drum from his waist and glared at Hei Mantou in the array with a stern expression. "You useless thing! I brought you out, and this is all you can do? If that's really the case, then come die with me!" After speaking, he suddenly became extremely ferocious, flung the bronze drum towards the flying treasured sword, and muttered to himself. Then, a loud "Break!" was heard.

  A thunderous roar that shook the universe! Five Exterminating Immortal Swords were suddenly broken, three of them shattered! Looking at the array again, that mutated Black Mantle had self-destructed, shattering all the surrounding Law Flags into fragments!

  Everyone in the scene was blown away by this invisible force, and with a few thuds, the four old and young people spat out blood and fell to the ground! Three people hurriedly helped up Master Dao, only to see that Master Dao's long shirt was stained with blood at this time, his whole body trembling slightly, it was simply a case of more air coming out than going in!

  Chang Yunshan couldn't care about the blood all over his face, he hugged Mu Dao's master and burst into loud wails: "Master uncle, wake up! You can't just leave like this... I haven't seen you for twenty years, and I still haven't fulfilled my filial duties to you...... Waaahhhhhh..."

  Crying and crying, they suddenly heard the weak voice of Murong Daoye, who said softly: "Don't cry, I'm not dead yet!" When they heard Murong Daoye's voice, several people immediately wiped away their tears and smiled. Murong Daoye narrowed his eyes and looked around the scene with a weak gaze. After looking for a long time, he let out a sigh of sorrow: "Alas, Wu Liang Tian Zun, it's really thanks to our ancestors' blessings. I didn't expect that we wouldn't lose face in front of him after all!" Looking at Ge Kun who was lying on the ground and trying to get up with his last strength, Murong Daoye smiled: "Old friend, the cause and effect have been resolved, the three worlds have been destroyed, it's time to let go."

  Ge Kun struggled on the ground for half a day but couldn't get up, finally letting out a sigh and lying still on the ground. After hearing Daoist Master's words, he panted heavily and smiled bitterly: "You surname Mu, I don't accept this! Clearly I, Ge Kun, am a genius with unparalleled talent, so why do I always encounter people opposing me wherever I go? Why?! I want them to die! I also want you all to die! Those who obey me shall live, those who defy me shall perish! You bunch of charlatans and name-droppers, all of you deserve to die, damn it, all of you deserve to die!" As he spoke, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, looking like a madman.

  "Alas, a heart that creates its own evil, what business is it of others?" he said with a long sigh, shaking his head and falling silent. Chang Yunshan handed the curtain to Fang Qinghe, drew his sword and turned to leave: "Damn it, it's because of people like you that the Daoists can't have peace! Today I'll see if you submit or not!" With that, he ignored everyone else and strode off towards Ge Kun.

  But he had only taken a few steps when his whole body shook violently, and he actually retreated. The crowd didn't know what he meant, but saw him stammering with both hands, pointing to the formation in front of him, but his tongue was tied, and he couldn't say a word!

  The three of them didn't know what the hell he was doing, and they followed his pointing direction to look over. As soon as they looked, the three of them were scared with wide eyes! They saw that at the place where the black mantis exploded, a blood-red flesh sac had appeared out of nowhere! At this moment, it was jumping up and down, emitting an eerie evil light!

  Everyone who saw this scene was stunned, as if they had been struck by five thunderbolts, standing still and speechless. Then Ge Kun burst out laughing: "Mu Linchi, you old scoundrel! It seems this is fate!" After that, he threw his head back and laughed wildly.

  "Damn it, who cares what kind of ghost thing it is, just cut it off!" he said, raising his knife and walking away. Chang Yunshan and Fang Qinghe hastily grabbed him: "Brother, don't be rash!"

  As he spoke, the Master of the Curtain moved his fingers and pointed to the two Exterminating Immortal Swords on the ground. Chang Yunshan understood in his heart and hurriedly urged his magical powers. The two precious swords flew up from the ground with a faint glow, shooting straight towards the blood-red flesh sac!

  "You dare!" Suddenly, a figure flashed by, and it was Ge Kun! He flew in front of Roulin, the two Xian-erasing swords inserted into his chest. Looking again, he grasped the two swords tightly with his hands, opening his bloody mouth to laugh loudly: "Even if I die, I will leave some marks on this world. Mulinchi, I'll be waiting for you below!" After finishing speaking, a black light flashed from his hands, and the two ordinary swords were actually broken off.

  At this moment, a strange claw suddenly stretched out from behind him!

  Ge Kun looked at the thing that emerged from behind him, excitedly trembling all over, with a crazy look on his face, and heard him muttering non-stop: "Treasure... treasure, ha, my treasure, haha..."

  All I saw was this thing behind him, all over red, human-sized, big skull, sharp teeth, four limbs with sharp claws, scales all over the body, ghostly face pattern, and a long tail, making it look even more eerie!

  The creature in front of him, resembling a humanoid lizard, was curiously sizing up Ge Kun. Meanwhile, Ge Kun gazed at the monster before him as if he had seen his own child, his eyes brimming with old tears, his lips trembling with excitement.

  Like this, they stared at each other for over ten seconds. Suddenly, the monster opened its big mouth wide, and when he looked again, Ge Kun's head was gone!

  Looking at Ge Kun being bitten to death by the monster he had raised himself, the four people also sighed in their hearts. It can be said that harming others will ultimately harm oneself, fortune and disaster are interdependent!

  It didn't end there, because this monster was now crawling on the ground like a fierce beast, staring intently at the four old and young people. Mu Dao looked around, opened his mouth, and felt anxious in his heart, but he couldn't make a sound.

  Wang Sigou, Chang Yunshan and Fang Qinghe looked at the ashen-faced Mu Dao, their eyes brimming with tears, their hearts aching. Although the old Taoist had not spoken, the three of them already knew what was in his mind. The three exchanged glances, nodded firmly to the old man, grasped their swords and turned to face the enemy lines. They had long since made up their minds that even if it meant sacrificing their lives, they could not let this scourge remain, bringing calamity to humanity!
