Chapter 185 Breaking Through the Great Formation and Defeating the Spirit Ghost Taoist
In the blink of an eye, the group arrived at the mountainside like a whirlwind. Xia Yuhui did not blindly lead the group up like a headless fly. Instead, he quickly grabbed a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator on the mountain and began to search his soul.
"Master, the Spirit Ghost Daoist is still in seclusion on the mountain healing his injuries. It seems he was struck by the lightning that struck the Second Master last time," Qingfeng replied respectfully.
Upon hearing Qingfeng's words, Xia Yuhui no longer concealed his aura and flew towards the mountaintop like a bolt of lightning.
Seeing this, the others also quickly used their unique abilities to give chase. However, they did not follow Xia Yuhui closely, but instead scattered in all directions like birds in flight.
A dozen or so breaths later, Xia Yuhui reached the mountaintop and stared at the array below, which was filled with ghostly energy. Anger finally showed on his face, as if this anger had been accumulating in his heart for a long time.
"Boom!" In an instant, the dark clouds above the formation were as black as ink, rolling and churning. Five bolts of lightning descended from the sky like five angry dragons, baring their fangs and claws as they rushed straight at the formation.
In an instant, the entire mountain shook violently, as if the earth itself was trembling. Xia Yuhui did not stop his attack. He quickly took out two formation-breaking talismans from his storage bag and threw them up like arrows.
Another earth-shaking tremor ensued, and most of the ghostly energy on the formation had dissipated. The great formation seemed poised to collapse in an instant.
Seeing this, Xia Yuhui added another bolt of crimson lightning, which, like a giant crimson sword, slashed fiercely at the great formation.
The great formation exploded after being hit, causing heavy casualties among the many demonic cultivators in the surrounding area.
After the great formation exploded, Xia Yuhui activated his divine sense and scanned the entire battlefield. He discovered that there were more than a hundred demonic cultivators on the mountain, and many caves below were also equipped with restrictions, indicating that there were many more demonic cultivators hiding inside.
At the same time, after Xia Yuhui broke the formation, the Xia family set up a small five-element formation around the area. The small five-element formation was like a huge cage, instantly enveloping the entire mountaintop.
Those demonic cultivators who had already fled thousands of meters away were instantly surrounded by this great formation, like turtles in a jar.
"Thunderstorm Spell! Strike!"
"Boom!"
Thousands of bolts of lightning converged around Xia Yuhui, like a swarm of enraged bees, and unleashed a devastating barrage that blasted the demonic cultivators below into a bloodbath. Those demonic cultivators hiding within the restrictions were also forced out by the power of the lightning.
However, there was still no trace of Linggui Daoren. Seeing this, Xia Yuhui immediately gathered a powerful magical force in his throat and then let out a deafening sound, like a great bell, which resounded throughout the mountaintop: "Linggui Daoren, my friend is here, why don't you come out and see me?"
After a short while, finding no movement below, Xia Yuhui's face darkened. He then cast the Thunderstorm Technique again, this time with more than five thousand bolts of lightning converging. These bolts of lightning were like giant dragons with bared fangs and claws, directly obscuring most of the sky and crackling loudly, as if they were about to tear the heavens and earth apart.
The demonic cultivators below, looking up at the overwhelming lightning, were instantly terrified and knelt down, begging for mercy. They couldn't even muster the slightest thought of resistance. The evil spirits scattered around the demonic cultivators, seeing so much lightning, instantly displayed a human-like expression of terror, as if the end of the world had arrived.
However, Xia Yuhui ignored them and, seeing that Linggui Daoren had not shown up, he directly unleashed more than five thousand bolts of lightning like a torrential downpour.
More than five thousand bolts of lightning surged down like a tidal wave, crashing down on the ground below. The unlucky ghost cultivators below were directly struck and instantly turned into a pool of blood. Even those who were slightly luckier were caught in the lightning and were instantly electrocuted.
The evil spirits that filled the mountain had long since vanished without a trace under the shroud of the heavenly punishment thunder that restrained them.
A dozen or so breaths later, the entire mountaintop was blasted away by more than ten zhang (approximately 33 meters), and below, only about twenty ghost cultivators were left barely clinging to life.
Just then, a ghost cultivator lying on the ground wailing was instantly enveloped by a dense ghost aura. The next moment, he revealed his true form and leaped into the sky like an arrow, rushing towards Xia Yuhui, who was riding a flying sword.
When Xia Yuhui saw him finally appear, a cold smile appeared on his lips, but he remained as steady as Mount Tai, unmoved, like an unshakable mountain, quietly waiting for his arrival.
Seeing that Xia Yuhui dared to look down on him so much, Linggui Daoren was overjoyed. He then used all his skills to create a large mass of eerie ghost energy around him, which condensed into a spirit ghost that was over thirty feet tall and wielding a giant sword.
The spirit roared at the sky like a ferocious beast, and with its gleaming blade, it slashed at Xia Yuhui like a whirlwind.
At this moment, a glimmer of hope suddenly welled up in the heart of the Spirit Ghost Taoist, which had been as dead as ashes and filled with despair, like rain after a long drought.
Xia Yuhui had just come to his door, and his heart was already overwhelmed by fear, as if he were being swallowed by endless darkness.
However, now that Xia Yuhui has unleashed so much lightning, his magical power has probably already been largely depleted, like a punctured balloon.
Although he was also seriously injured, most of his skills throughout his life had been based on spirits and ghosts. "Therefore, in this battle, the advantage lies with me!"
Thinking of this, he grasped at the last straw and immediately took out two Hundred Ghost Banners from his storage bag as if by magic.
Two more spirits appeared on the Hundred Ghosts Banner, but these two spirits were smaller and obviously not as imposing as the previous one.
After unleashing all his abilities, the Spirit Ghost Taoist, like a general commanding thousands of troops, directly directed his three spirit ghosts to accelerate like arrows released from a bow, charging fiercely towards Xia Yuhui.
In the sky, Xia Yuhui watched the various techniques used by the Spirit Ghost Taoist and couldn't help but sneer inwardly, as if watching a farcical performance.
As the Spirit Ghost Taoist and his spirit ghost drew closer, Xia Yuhui directly communicated with the Azure Soul Lamp within his sea of consciousness.
The next moment, a terrifying, invisible aura, like a surging torrent, directly struck the three-headed spirit ghost.
"Ah!" The three-headed spirit ghost instantly unleashed three heart-wrenching roars, the sounds seemingly capable of piercing the heavens, utterly tragic, yet no matter how it roared, it was all in vain.
The next moment, they were like flowers ravaged by a storm, disintegrating from the inside out and turning into a large mass of souls that disappeared like shooting stars next to Xia Yuhui.
As a ghost cultivator, Linggui Daoren had just sensed that extremely terrifying aura. At this moment, the three-headed ghost had already turned into thin air, and he immediately thought of returning.
However, a sudden sharp pain shot through his head, followed by a series of tremors in his mind.
Linggui Daoren had already witnessed Xia Yuhui's Soul Devouring Technique before, and had already placed a Soul-Suppressing Talisman on his body. However, at this moment, the Soul-Suppressing Talisman had already been broken by Xia Yuhui, and the Soul Devouring Technique directly affected Linggui Daoren.
