But he saw green light flashing in the sky, and a large number of fist-sized will-o'-the-wisps appeared. A cold air pressed towards him.
These will-o'-the-wisps shook for a while and turned into pale skulls. Giggling laughter attacked.
Faced with these attacks, Zhang Ling snorted coldly, but without the slightest pause, he still flew straight up, intending to break through forcefully.
Seeing his actions, the surrounding mist also rolled rapidly, shrinking by more than half in an instant, and one after another Yin Souls appeared in it, obviously trying to block his way.
Zhang Ling quickly chanted the magic spell with both hands, and he heard a thunderous sound from his body. As his ten fingers flicked, he shot out streaks of dark cyan lightning.
These lightning bolts did not attack, but attached to the surface of his body and formed another layer of lightning shield.
When the will-o'-the-wisps blocking above approached within two zhang(丈: zhang, a unit of length) of his body, they turned into wisps of green smoke and dissipated.
His speed suddenly increased by another three points, and he escaped the encirclement of the black mist without hindrance.
After escaping the danger, he immediately flashed to another location and flew away for a distance. Then he released his divine sense and swept around, and found that Double-tailed Cat was fighting with a red-haired ghost emitting green light.
This ghost had a green face and fangs, and was holding two white bone forks in each hand. It also spewed out ghostly green ghost fire from its mouth. The Yin Sha aura on its body was extremely strong. It was actually a high-level demon ghost with strength close to the sixth level.
But Zhang Ling just glanced at the situation there, and turned to look at his front. There was a gray-green cloud of mist, with many ghost shadows emitting a strong Yin Sha evil spirit.
The attack just now was released by this group of ghosts.
"Fellow Daoist Shen is really scheming, hiding here to sneak attack me." Zhang Ling stared coldly at the ghost mist. As soon as he was attacked, he knew that someone was ambushing him.
"Hehe, kid surnamed Zhang, consider yourself unlucky. You bumped into the old man. I originally wanted to lie in wait for the old Taoist and that bitch. I didn't expect to wait for you. Seeing that your spiritual power is now consumed a lot, killing you is as easy as pie. As long as you hand over the storage bag on your body now, I can let you leave." A figure emerged from the ghost mist, it was the old man Shen from the group.
Zhang Ling saw the old man's current appearance clearly. The old man Shen was raggedly dressed, and his face was a little pale. His condition did not seem to be very good.
He immediately thought of the conversation he had overheard between Madam Cao and Old Taoist Yangshan. They said before that they had solved the other people, and only old man Shen escaped with serious injuries.
I didn't expect that this old man Shen also followed here and was caught by himself. Zhang Ling felt depressed. He silently circulated the spiritual power on his body, and the two flying swords in front of him trembled slightly, the spiritual light flickered, releasing streaks of sword light.
"It seems that you kid is not going to listen to my opinion, then you should die. After solving you, I will deal with those two people." Old man Shen saw his movements, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he quickly waved a black-green Yin Soul Banner in his hand.
As this Zhang Xu(丈许: Zhang Xu, about meters) high ghost banner danced, a large amount of Yin Soul ghost energy was released from it. With a strong Yin Sha evil spirit swept over, a wailing sound was loud, and one after another gray-green Yin Souls emerged from it.
These Yin Souls were men and women, old and young, but each one was as fierce as a ghost and unusually fierce. Although the strength of a single Yin Soul is not strong. But Zhang Ling glanced over and was still shocked in his heart. The number of Yin Souls in the ghost mist exceeded a thousand in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Ling immediately realized that the soul banner in this old man's hand may have been close to the degree of Ten Thousand Soul Banner.
Soul banners and other magic weapons are well-known in the hands of Demonic cultivators and Ghost Dao people. Often can use some strange means.
The power of this type of magic weapon depends on the number and strength of the Yin Souls in it. The lowest level is the Hundred Soul Banner, the top is the Thousand Soul Banner, and the stronger one is the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.
And the Hundred Soul Banner is stronger than the average top-quality magic weapon.
The power of the Thousand Soul Banner is equivalent to an ordinary magic weapon. If the number of Yin Souls in it reaches tens of thousands, and there is a Golden Core expert who is proficient in this way to urge it, it is easy to suppress the monks of the same rank.
Zhang Ling knows so much about soul banners and other magic weapons, because the first complete exercise he got since cultivating immortality was Underworld King Art, which is a top-level Ghost Dao exercise, which contains the refining method of soul banners.
So seeing the soul banner in the old man's hand, he realized that this old man was not simple either.
Zhang Ling did not dare to be careless, especially since this old man was also a late-stage Golden Core powerhouse, and his spiritual power was also consumed a lot. His mind turned quickly, thinking about countermeasures.
But the movements under his hands did not stop at all. With a flick of his hand, he released a ball of Heavenly Star Sand. With the urging of the magic formula in his hand, it turned into a large piece of quicksand and formed sand balls around his body, protecting himself tightly.
The sword light flickered, and before the many Yin Souls rushed over, they attacked first. At the same time, he moved quickly to prevent being surrounded by the ghost mist again.
For a time, the battle between the two was stretched very long. Zhang Ling assault from left to right, seeming to want to escape from this place. Seeing this scene, old man Shen sneered even more. "Boy, let's see how long you can last."
For him, Zhang Ling is just a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, and his mana is still damaged.
Thinking of this, old man Shen's mind moved, and he immediately desperately waved the soul banner in his hand, and released hundreds more Yin Souls, with a large number of ghost mists blocking Zhang Ling's way.
At the same time, he opened his mouth and spewed out a ball of vital blood, and the spell sounded in his mouth, and the vital blood turned into a blood-colored spiritual pattern and instantly merged into the Yin Soul Banner.
I saw the soul banner flashing with green light, and twisted ghost shadows appeared on the surface of the banner. It looked like a strangeShura picture. Suddenly, a skull phantom flew out of it, giggling a few times, and came alive.
Then countless Yin Souls appeared on the soul banner again. All the Yin Souls that flew out were swallowed by this skull. After two or three breaths, the skull was dyed emerald green and turned into a green shadow and attacked Zhang Ling.
This skull is a main soul in the soul banner, with the strength of a sixth-level demon ghost.
Old man Shen believes that after joining the attack, he will be able to solve this kid in a few breaths. By then, swallowing this person's spirit, the power of the soul banner can be enhanced a lot.
The spirit of a high-level cultivator is a great tonic, the old man thought happily in his heart, and desperately urged the Yin Souls to command a large number of Yin Souls to besiege Zhang Ling.
And Zhang Ling's situation is very critical at this time. In addition to the spiritual shield, there is also a layer of thunder light on the outermost layer. Instead, many Yin Souls were hit by the thunder light and turned into green smoke.
The thunder light is emitted from the Thunder Light Curse condensed in his body. Although this secret technique refines the mana in the body through thunder attribute spiritual power.
But after completing the first layer of cultivation, he can also use some thunder attribute methods through the Thunder Light Curse.
