"Haha, Duke Cheng is worthy of being the backbone of the Tang Dynasty. What a great 'unparalleled strike'! He broke my Heavenly Ghost Claw with just one axe." The black-robed man who was called "Original Sin" by Cheng Yaojin said with a smile.
"Stop talking nonsense! Our last fight was not satisfying enough, let's fight again this time!" Cheng Yaojin pointed the giant axe in his hand at the black-robed man opposite him.
"Since the Duke wants to teach me, I will certainly accompany you. But the fight between you and me will involve too wide a range. How about we fight up there like before?" Yuan Zui pointed to the sky and said.
"That's exactly what I want!" Cheng Yaojin laughed and was about to fly into the sky.
At this moment, there was a rumbling sound from the ground in the distance, and suddenly a black beam of light that was a hundred feet thick rose up and rushed straight into the sky, like a giant pillar supporting the sky.
Black lights flashed in various places in the south of the city, and hundreds of much smaller black light beams appeared like mushrooms after a rain.
"What!" Yuan Zui's face changed drastically when he saw this scene.
On the contrary, Cheng Yaojin's eyes lit up and his face showed great joy.
The towering black pillar flashed wildly, bulges appeared on it, and it swelled violently, and soon exploded completely.
The other small light pillars seemed to be connected to the Sky-supporting light pillar and shattered one after another.
The black clouds in the sky seemed to be connected to the light pillars below. At this moment, they also became chaotic, rolling like raging waves and quickly began to dissipate.
The figures of many ghosts who were fighting with the Tang Dynasty monks became transparent and disappeared one after another, as if they were forcibly sent away by a mysterious force.
Within a few breaths, almost all the ghosts in the air disappeared, leaving only the monks from the Body Refining Altar and a few ghosts that were not summoned.
The originally evenly matched battle situation suddenly began to tilt towards the Tang government.
"So that's how it is. No wonder your Tang government suddenly launched a full-scale counterattack. It turned out that it was to tie down our main force and arrange people to destroy the summoning formation!" Yuan Zui said in a cold voice with an unsightly look on his face.
"That's right! Otherwise why would I be here fighting with those of your men! Old devil, now that we have no ghosts to help you, let's see what you can do!" Cheng Yaojin sneered, and golden light shone from his body, and he was about to attack.
"Duke Cheng is right. Without the help of ghosts, I can't compete with the Tang government with my Body Refining Altar. So please allow me to take my leave." The anger on Yuan Zui's face suddenly faded away like a tide, and he regained his previous smiling and elegant expression, which made Cheng Yaojin stunned.
Taking advantage of the moment when Cheng Yaojin was stunned, Yuan Zui's figure shot out backwards at an incredible speed, and quickly became nothingness, disappearing into the void in the blink of an eye.
The monks from the Body Refining Altar in the air and on the ground immediately retreated to a distance. The Tang government and the monks from Chang'an City were about to chase them, but the remaining ghosts suddenly went crazy and tried to stop them at all costs.
Moreover, large amounts of black smoke suddenly emerged from various places in the city, covering the entire southern area of the city.
The monks from the Tang Dynasty government could not see the situation clearly and did not dare to pursue them too far, so they soon stopped.
"What's going on?" Master Huangmu and others flew to Cheng Yaojin's side, all with confused looks on their faces.
"I don't know." Cheng Yaojin frowned. He no longer felt the joy of completing his plan. Instead, his heart was heavy and he was quite uneasy.
