Then, a red light flashed on the blue-robed woman, and a scroll was released by her. It unfolded instantly, and with a flash of spiritual light, it shot out a large number of fire crows, each about a foot in size.
As soon as these fire crows appeared, they spread out in all directions, covering an area of more than ten zhang, instantly trapping the half-human, half-tiger demon ghost within this region.
For a time, the demon ghost kept moving, dodging the fire crows. The blue-robed woman rapidly changed her hand seals, and a blue jade bottle flew out from her sleeve.
The woman held the jade pen and pointed it at the bottle, from which floated a ball of lightning several feet in size.
The lightning ball flashed and merged into the jade pen. After shaking a few times, runes appeared on it. Then, the runes condensed at the tip of the pen, emitting a dazzling white light.
In a flash, it transformed into a finger-thick, several-foot-long lightning thorn, shooting towards the demon ghost.
The white light flashed past and pierced the demon ghost's chest, turning into a large patch of blue-white electric arcs. Immediately, the demon ghost's scream was heard.
Seeing this, Zhang Ling and the others were overjoyed.
However, a gray-black Yin energy suddenly rose from the large patch of electric arcs, instantly extinguishing the electric light on its body.
Looking again, the demon ghost's body was scorched black, but it was not dead. A pair of blood-red eyes stared at everyone with sinister intent, and a strange cry came from its gaping mouth.
Woo… Woo woo!
It opened its mouth and spat out a white-gray round bead, which spun around and released a large amount of gray-green Yin energy to protect its body within it.
This demon ghost was not only extremely fast, but its aura had also suddenly soared more than twofold. Zhang Ling and the others immediately felt a powerful spiritual pressure, and their faces turned pale.
Judging by its aura, it was no weaker than the blue-robed female cultivator in front. If it weren't for her holding it back, they would have already fled.
A cackling laugh came, and ghostly figures emerged from the Yin energy. Then, four or five humanoid ghosts covered in green hair rushed out.
These green-haired monsters resembled humans, but were only half a person tall. Each held a white bone steel fork several feet long in their hands, with green ghost fire flickering on them.
As soon as these monsters appeared, they scattered and merged into the surrounding Yin energy.
The demon ghost itself condensed the Yin energy on its body, raised its head, and let out a long howl. Its body immediately swelled two or three times, becoming a huge monster six zhang tall.
The hair on its body also grew back, and a head of blood-red long hair moved without wind, making it look terrifying.
The demon ghost bared its fangs fiercely, revealing a mouthful of gray-yellow fangs. It opened its mouth and shot out a large mass of Yin energy, with ghostly figures within it, turning into Yin soul wraiths, instantly forming an army of Yin souls.
With a long howl, these ghosts rushed towards the blue-robed woman like Yin soldiers passing through the border.
Seeing this, the blue-robed female cultivator's expression also became serious. Without the slightest hesitation, spiritual power surged within her.
The jade pen in her hand shook repeatedly, instantly condensing seven or eight thick lightning spears in front of her. With a crackle, they attacked the giant ghost.
At the same time, the scroll on her side flashed with spiritual light, and a large number of flames flew out. Under her spell, these fire crows merged into a giant firebird three zhang long, and with a flap of its wings, it flew to the top of the woman's head, shooting out hundreds of fire feathers.
For a time, Yin energy and flames collided, forming gusts of wind. Seeing this, Zhang Ling and the others retreated to avoid being affected.
Ah!
Just then, a scream came from the side. Zhang Ling swept his divine sense and saw that it was actually Tian Jing who had been ambushed from underground by a green-haired monster, and a bone fork had pierced her body.
Tian Jing screamed in pain. The bone fork piercing her body flashed with green light, and her body suddenly withered and aged.
In a few breaths, she turned into a dried corpse, and the faces of the remaining people changed drastically.
Zhang Ling's face was also gloomy. He quickly scanned his divine sense around, and immediately felt a gust of Yin wind behind his head.
Without thinking, he waved his hand, and three or four sword shadows attacked the thing behind him. At the same time, his figure lowered, and he twisted his body to the other side.
With a few clangs of metal, the sword shadow collided with a white bone fork.
Taking this opportunity, Zhang Ling arrived at a place three or four zhang away. At the previous location, a green-haired monster appeared and disappeared into the ground.
"Earth Escape Technique?"
He was shocked in his heart. This green-haired monster that ambushed them could also use this kind of escape technique.
It was obviously not comparable to ordinary monsters and seemed to have quite a bit of intelligence. Seeing this, his expression also became serious.
Zhang Ling patted his storage bag and released the Corpse Bear. At this moment, he couldn't care less about hiding this trump card. As soon as the Corpse Bear appeared, it spewed out a large amount of corpse fire, protecting Zhang Ling and him within it.
At this moment, besides this defense, there was also the Flying Spirit Shield magic weapon and the spiritual power shield on his body.
With three layers of defense, he was also a little more at ease. Then, he fully activated the flying sword magic weapon, transforming into seven or eight large sword shadows. His divine sense surrounded the area, especially the ground under his feet, and he also paid attention to it at all times to prevent the green-haired monster from ambushing him.
He just waited quietly for a few breaths, but he didn't see the green-haired monster that had ambushed him just now.
Suddenly, he thought of something and looked at the remaining two Foundation Establishment cultivators. The old man among them was like him, vigilant around.
And the red-faced burly man was fighting with a green-haired monster. This person was wielding a flame dagger, splitting out several sword lights, causing the green-haired monster to retreat steadily.
There were four or five such green-haired monsters just now, but now only one has appeared. This is not a good sign.
These monsters are good at ambushing, and hiding in the dark is the most dangerous. At this time, the blue-robed woman was fighting with the half-human, half-tiger demon ghost. There was a burst of explosions, obviously she couldn't take care of them here.
Suddenly, he saw a black shadow flash behind the red-faced burly man, and a half-person-high green-haired monster appeared, its bone fork piercing straight into the burly man's heart.
"Be careful!"
This reminder was not issued by Zhang Ling, but by the old man. This person was also experienced and constantly observed the battle situation.
This reminder also had an effect. The red-faced burly man also twisted his body in an instant, narrowly dodging this attack.
But Zhang Ling's eyes twitched at this moment, and he found that a green figure had also appeared silently behind the old man.
Without thinking, he knew what it was. He was about to remind him when the Yin energy suddenly condensed in front of him, and a green figure also appeared.
With a thought, the many sword lights that had been prepared flashed and attacked the green-haired monster.
After a burst of metal sounds, the monster was knocked back a few steps by him. But at this moment, his face was slightly gloomy, and his body turned around without warning. A ball of yellow light flashed in his hand and shot out.
He saw that another green shadow suddenly appeared behind him, but as soon as this monster appeared, the yellow light flashed, and its body was covered by a layer of yellow light.
This was the Heavy Yuan Profound Light he had cultivated, which immediately caused the green-haired monster to stagnate.
Its body was surrounded by Yin wind, and it was about to escape the range of the Heavy Yuan Profound Light, but a pair of dark claws scooped down and grabbed the green-haired monster in its hands.
Then it raised it high, and with a soft sound of tearing, its body was torn in half.
This kind of ghost is good at ambushing, but its strength is only equivalent to the early stage of Foundation Establishment. When the Corpse Bear grabbed its body, with the Corpse Bear's strength, it was instantly killed.
The other green-haired monster that had been repelled by him earlier let out a scream, and its figure flashed and disappeared.
Zhang Ling looked at the other two people. At this moment, the old man was being attacked by two green-haired monsters. But there was no danger.
The other person was in a crisis.
