After they got closer, they could see the fight between the woman in green and the demon ghost.
At this moment, it seemed to have entered a critical stage.
The woman in green controlled a scroll from which fire crows flew out, transforming into a large number of fire crows to attack the demon ghost.
In front of her floated seven or eight shimmering talismans. She continuously tapped these talismans with the jade pen in her hand, seemingly performing some secret technique.
The demon ghost was shrouded in dense Yin energy, making it difficult to see its form. It emitted bursts of strange laughter, which caused dizziness upon hearing.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ling circulated the Nameless Soul Refining Art once, which cleared his mind somewhat. The old man beside him also had spiritual light flickering around him, guarding his mind.
Judging from his pale face, he was probably not feeling well either.
……
At this moment, the woman in green gave a delicate shout, and the talismans surrounding her trembled, quickly flying towards the demon ghost.
When the demon ghost saw these talismans coming, a green light flashed in its eyes, and it opened its mouth again, spitting out the green, glowing bead, which shot out a mass of emerald green ghost fire.
In a flash, it engulfed all the talismans, and crackling sounds came from within. It seemed that these talismans did not have any effect.
The demon ghost itself opened its mouth wide, and a red shadow shot out, instantly traversing a distance of more than ten zhang, attacking the woman in green.
With two soft sounds, the protective shield formed by the jade pendant in front of the woman in green was instantly pierced. It seemed that she was about to be killed.
Suddenly, the jade pendant burst open with a bang, forming a mass of blue-green spiritual power that covered the red shadow.
Cracking sounds of ice breaking came out, and the red shadow was instantly covered with a thick layer of ice crystals. Only then did Zhang Ling and the old man see clearly that the red shadow was actually the demon ghost's tongue.
Woo woo!
The demon ghost cried out in pain and retracted its tongue with lightning speed, but the frozen part was shattered into ice shards, which fell to the ground.
Suffering this painful blow, the demon ghost stirred up Yin energy, forming a whirlwind of Yin wind to wrap its body.
But before this monster could use its means, the Yin fire suddenly exploded, and the many talismans released by the woman in green flashed and arrived above the demon ghost's head. They transformed into a circle, surrounding the demon ghost, and the many talismans instantly lit up with dazzling yellow light.
In the rattling sound, the talismans transformed into yellow chains, wrapping around the demon ghost's massive body.
The demon ghost roared, spewing out large masses of emerald green Yin fire, trying to escape, but these chains instantly straightened, trapping it in place.
The woman in green took out an exquisite white jade gourd, within which a deep red flame was dancing.
A trace of reluctance appeared in the eyes of the woman in green, but the movements in her hand did not stop. She crushed the jade gourd and released the flame within.
The flame rapidly swelled, immediately emitting a violent fire spiritual power, causing the surrounding temperature to rise a few degrees.
It was evident that this flame was no ordinary spiritual fire.
The woman in green waved her other hand, and the jade pen trembled twice, runes appearing on it, shooting out streams of white light.
These lines were instantly wrapped in flames and pulled into the jade pen, and the jade pen turned fiery red.
Then, fiery runes flickered out, and in a few breaths, a fire phoenix appeared in front of her.
The demon ghost naturally knew that danger was imminent, and its body swelled again, but the yellow chains that trapped it only dimmed a bit.
Seeing this, the Yin energy on the demon ghost suddenly withdrew into its body, and then its body shrank back to its original size.
But the chains on its body also changed with its body shape, preventing it from escaping.
The fire phoenix formed from flames gradually solidified, and after a moment, it spread its wings and flew towards the trapped demon ghost.
Seeing the fire phoenix attacking, the half-human, half-tiger demon ghost actually stopped struggling at this moment.
The demon ghost raised its head and emitted a "嘎嘎" strange laughter.
The laughter grew from small to large, becoming louder and louder, forming invisible air waves. It seemed endless, directly shaking the nearby ghost mist, causing it to churn.
Hearing this sound, Zhang Ling and the old man turned pale and retreated more than ten zhang without thinking.
The strange laughter did not diminish, but instead became more vigorous, one sound louder than the other.
And the fire phoenix that flew over suddenly paused in the air.
But then a white light curtain shone down, and the sound waves emitted by the demon ghost disappeared without a trace.
The sound of flames burning loudly rang out, and the fire phoenix flashed and arrived in front of the demon ghost, and the powerful flames on it instantly turned the demon ghost into a fireball.
The flames burned for a few breaths, and the woman in green waved her hand, and the jade pen flashed and shot down a white light, absorbing the flames back into it.
Looking again, the demon ghost had been burned into a pile of black ash, and the female cultivator grabbed with one hand, and a bead flew out from the black ash and was taken into her sleeve.
Seeing this, Zhang Ling and the two others breathed a sigh of relief. The sound emitted by this monster just now was like a heavy hammer, hitting their heads hard.
This was just some residual power, so one could imagine how powerful this monster was. This monster was definitely a high-level ghost creature.
If it weren't for this woman in green following them, and they had entered this place alone, they would probably die without knowing how they died.
The female cultivator scattered the spiritual power on her body, waved her hand, and three spiritual talismans floated out, rotating around her, transforming into a layer of light curtain to protect herself.
Then, she sat down cross-legged and began to adjust her breathing.
Seeing this, Zhang Ling and the two others did not dare to rush forward, and waited quietly for the woman to recover. Fortunately, after the demon ghost died, it was quiet all around, and no other Yin souls appeared.
This short period of peace also gave the two some opportunity to rest.
After half an hour, when Zhang Ling had recovered about 90% of the spiritual power in his body, the woman in green stood up.
"Congratulations, Senior, for killing this monster." The two stepped forward and respectfully saluted the female cultivator.
"Let's go."
The woman in green only glanced at the two of them and walked forward.
"Yes," the two quickly followed.
……
Under the leadership of the woman in green, they walked for the time it takes to burn an incense stick and saw a three-zhang-high black gate. Some ghost patterns were carved on it. These ghosts devoured and entangled each other, like the ghost gate in the underworld.
And a layer of blood-colored light罩流转ed above the black gate, making it not easy to enter.
Zhang Ling thought to himself, looking at the woman in green two zhang away in front of him. But he saw that the woman suddenly raised her hand, and after a muffled sound, three huge demon beast corpses appeared on the ground.
Looking closely, they were all ghost-faced fish, but each of these three was six or seven zhang in size. He had never seen such a large one before.
After looking at it a few times, he discovered that the aura on these three ghost-faced fish was at the level of second-tier demon beasts. The three ghost-faced fish were already dead, and there was a big hole in their heads, which were killed by a single blow.
The old man beside him also had a surprised look in his eyes. The two looked at each other, wondering what this senior was doing with the three demon fish corpses.
Then the female cultivator dispelled the doubts for the two with her actions.
The female cultivator pinched the seals with both hands, and incantations came from her mouth, and she began to cast spells by operating her spiritual power.
