During the slow process, the cracks on its body disappeared little by little, and a strange black mist emanated from them.
The black fog was surging wildly around his body, and a twisted head popped out from it, with its hideous mouth completely split open.
That is the source of the shrill scream.
(But this posture...)
Ling Shuangxue's heartbeat seemed to stop at this moment.
She would not make a mistake, that was the posture of the Broken Sword Soul that she had just experienced.
But that Heavenly Grade Sword Ghost was clearly the same one as before!
A sword ghost who can use the Sword Soul Collapse twice in a row
Realizing this, Ling Shuangxue felt a chill rising from the bottom of her heart.
In his current state where he was unable to muster a decent defense, if he were to take another blow from the Broken Sword Soul, his life might not be in danger, but serious injury would be inevitable.
Although she was unable to perceive anything specific, Ling Shuangxue was already vaguely aware that the impact was coming.
However, before that, a hand gently embraced her waist.
Before she could resist, a voice spoke softly.
"Caught up... Well, it seems the hatred has also been attracted."
The familiar voice made Ling Shuangxue stunned.
She looked at the young man who held her in his arms, and then looked in the direction of his gaze.
The sword ghost that was wailing miserably seemed to be stunned, with its twisted face facing this side. A pair of scarlet lights that showed madness appeared in the position of its pupils, staring at the young man who appeared.
And on its chest, a cold thin sword wrapped in rich spiritual power and a little purple lightning pierced through the black fog, leaving golden cracks on it.
The young man waved his hand, and a thin sword with a cold glow flew out and landed steadily in his hand, dancing a sword flower.
"Is this what it feels like to be locked by the Collapse Sword Soul? The power of heaven and earth is suppressed, so I can't teleport and can only endure it... Fortunately, I learned a lot from the fairy last night and have some guesses, otherwise I really don't know how to deal with this situation."
The next moment, a loud bang was heard.
But it was not the sound of the sword spirit collapsing, but a thunder.
The power of heaven and earth became chaotic at this moment.
In the exploding dark light and shadow, the scenery in front of Ling Shuangxue gradually changed.
Chapter 243 Ling Shuangxue: Thank you, my good disciple
Luo Wusheng felt a tingling sensation in his consciousness at this moment.
His nascent sword intent fell into chaos at this moment, crashing into his sea of consciousness.
This is the effect of the Sword Soul Collapse Technique against sword cultivators.
(Although I was the one who actively drew the hatred, this sword ghost was really rude... Fortunately, I am just a mediocre swordsman, and only my sword will, which was temporarily insufficient in strength, was targeted a little...)
Thinking with his consciousness that had finally recovered, Luo Wusheng reviewed his actions in his mind.
After realizing that things might have changed, he no longer had the heart to stay in the outside world and fight with a few Nascent Souls.
Although he couldn't be sure whether Ling Shuangxue was in the area where the sword soul was about to collapse twice in a row, a bad premonition had already come to him.
Sure enough, when he activated the power of the cold sword and instantly appeared on the battlefield, Luo Wusheng saw the scene he had imagined.
There was no trace of blood on Ling Shuangxue's face, and the dark light and shadows were gathering with terrifying fluctuations.
Compared to the Earth-ranked Sword Ghost that he had captured before, this Heaven-ranked Sword Ghost was entangled with purer malice.
At that moment, Luo Wusheng's mind raced, and he recalled everything that happened last night when he discussed with Ling Shuangxue how to deal with the Sword Ghost.
So he barely caught up with the opportunity to take action.
(Using an attack filled with my aura, I diverted its hatred and concentrated most of the curse against sword cultivators in the Sword Soul Collapse Technique on me...)
(However, it was indeed a bit risky to detonate the thunder that flowed into the sword ghost's body to forcibly change the power of heaven and earth that suppressed it... Fortunately, it was mostly successful.)
The Sword Ghost's Sword Soul Collapse Technique is divided into two levels. One level is a large-scale energy burst that locks the power of heaven and earth and can only be resisted head-on, with a strength that can severely damage the Nascent Soul. The other level is the curse-like attack implied underneath.
The sword heart is falling and the sword intention is chaotic.
A weak sword heart will be shattered, but a strong sword intent will cause greater chaos in the body.
Generally speaking, when facing this attack, sword practitioners will use secret methods to calm their sword hearts and sword intentions for a short period of time, and then after enduring the energy burst, they will turn around and recuperate to avoid being seriously injured.
Ling Shuangxue had done the same thing before.
However, Luo Wusheng is different. He is the only novice swordsman with sufficient strength among those who came to participate in this sword ghost hunt.
There is no sword heart at all, and the sword intent has not yet developed.
Therefore, he was less affected. Even if he did not suppress it, he could still stay relatively sober despite the headache caused by the chaos of sword intent, and use the means he had prepared to avoid being involved in the explosion.
(Thinking about it this way, a Nascent Soul that is not a sword cultivator does have some advantages against a Heavenly Rank Sword Ghost. However, there are no Nascent Souls in Jianzhou that do not cultivate swords, and Nascent Souls from other states will not come to Jianzhou specifically to guard a Heavenly Rank Sword Ghost that has only appeared for who knows how many years. Even if they get the news, they will always be a step late...)
While he was thinking, Luo Wusheng had already landed on the ground.
The scene around him was no longer the vegetation destroyed by the Sword Demon, but a new area covered with spiritual plants, and in front of him was a huge ancient tree.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a slight struggle in his arms, which reminded him that he was still hugging a person as soft as jade.
My hand trembled slightly as I felt the wonderful touch, and words came out of my mouth subconsciously.
"Well, I was in a hurry just now..."
"…Are you injured?"
Luo Wusheng's somewhat nervous words were interrupted. He thought the woman in his arms was struggling, but she just turned around slightly, and a slightly cold hand gently stroked his face.
His sight followed the hand, and finally met a pair of beautiful eyes that contained a hint of panic.
The veil under the eyes disappeared at some point, and Ling Shuangxue's flawless face as white as ice and snow was completely revealed in Luo Wusheng's eyes.
Jueshi Qingcheng's face clearly still showed a lot of weakness, but was also full of worry about the person in front of her.
Luo Wusheng felt his heartbeat quicken a little.
However, he quickly shook his head when he heard the worry in the words of the person in his arms.
"It was just that I was slightly scratched by the power of the Broken Sword Soul when I teleported. It's not a serious injury."
As he spoke, his expression became a little unnatural again, and his eyes were erratic: "Uh... the teleportation just now..."
Luo Wusheng didn't know how to explain it for a moment.
Yesterday, when he heard that the Sword Ghost could suppress the power of heaven and earth to prevent the Nascent Soul from teleporting, he had some ideas of his own.
Thunder tribulation, as the product of the power of heaven and earth, can also change the situation of heaven and earth.
This is also the reason why cultivators who are undergoing heavenly tribulation cannot escape the lock of thunder tribulation.
That's why he had previously guessed that if he used the lightning tribulation he swallowed, he might be able to change the situation of heaven and earth... He was even ready to research a few more ways to use the lightning tribulation on his right arm in this direction.
Unexpectedly, I made my first attempt today.
Unfortunately, the effect was only half achieved... The suppression was successfully broken, but the power of heaven and earth fell into chaos, resulting in the uncertainty of the landing point of the teleportation, and the time to enter the teleportation state was also prolonged, giving the Collapse Sword Soul Technique a chance to hurt him.
However, whether it was the heavenly tribulation that came from swallowing the calamity or the teleportation of his own Void Infant realm, it was quite complicated to explain and involved a lot...
Just as he was hesitating, the white hand on his face pressed part of its fingers on his lips.
"I'm glad you're okay, sir."
Ling Shuangxue used her recovered strength to prop herself up a little, and her eyes gradually softened.
She could vaguely sense that the young man holding her was not lying, and that his injuries were not as serious as she had imagined. He probably did not take the full blow of the Heavenly Sword Ghost Collapse Sword Soul...
Ling Shuangxue had no intention of asking how the other party had done what he had done just now. She knew that those were all hidden tricks of the young man in front of her.
And the other party did not hesitate to use these suspicious means, and chose to take action when he was in danger... This was what Ling Shuangxue cared about the most.
The accumulated black ice in his heart, which had already melted a lot due to the reshaping of his swordsmanship, was now as thin as paper.
(But his heartbeat seemed to be a little more intense. Why is that...)
As soon as the thought came to her mind, Ling Shuangxue already realized the reason.
After all, although the boy she was leaning on was slightly concealing his expression, the distance between them was too close, and she could see his gaze clearly as it moved towards her face many times.
Feeling the gentle breeze blowing on her face, Ling Shuangxue did not feel sorry for her specially made magic veil at this moment.
Instead, I felt my heartbeat quicken because of this indescribable emotion.
(Maybe I really need to thank Yuli this time...)
Speaking of which, the sword ghost prepared only for his own disciples...
Ling Shuangxue, who was immersed in inexplicable emotions, suddenly sobered up a little.
And the next moment, a roar sounded hundreds of feet away from her perception.
She and Luo Wusheng looked at the same time, and saw a figure covered in black mist, who seemed to be stimulated by something and suddenly shot into the air.
Several purple arcs flickered faintly on its body.
But soon after, four figures stepped out from the void and faced the sword ghost that soared into the air from four positions.
Chapter 244: Is this sword ghost cheating? (Second update)
The four Yuanyings were somewhat unable to understand.
Didn't the Sword Soul Collapse happen twice just now? Why did we find another Heavenly Sword Ghost after we arrived at the scene
Could it be that three of these Heavenly Rank Sword Ghosts, which had not appeared for who knows how many years, had suddenly appeared at once? But even if that was the case, where were the other two Sword Ghosts
And what about the Sword Pavilion's Nascent Soul Master and that terrifying young man who also came for the Sword Ghost
Could it be that he has already taken the other two sword ghosts away
"This... What on earth is going on?"
A Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator from the group of independent cultivators was somewhat confused and doubtful.
At this moment, the target, the Heavenly Rank Sword Ghost, was clearly before their eyes, but the four Nascent Souls hesitated.
The old man's Yuanying, who had already picked up the sixth sword, had a flashing look in his eyes. He waved his hand, and the six precious swords and magical weapons hovering around him flew up together, but did not fall in the direction of the sword ghost.
Being cautious, he wanted to observe the situation further.
But the sword ghost who was standing in the air on the black fog suddenly stopped, and the scarlet eyes on his twisted face looked straight at one of the six flying swords.
A roar.
The sword ghost's figure disappeared from the spot in an instant, and then he slapped the flying sword hard.
The flying sword was quickly entangled by a black mist, and it lost its aura at this moment and was knocked directly to the ground.
The old man’s Yuanying opened his eyes wide.
What happened? Everyone was clearly prepared for battle, so why did this sword ghost choose to attack me directly? Was my luck so bad today
Then he looked at the flying sword that had been knocked down and inserted straight into the ground... As expected, it was the one he had just retrieved!
This moment is just like that moment.
How could they be so similar
Before the old man's Yuanying had time to think about the reason, his scalp suddenly felt numb.
The scarlet and crazy eyes followed some connection and fell on him.
The power of heaven and earth was suppressed at this moment, and the surrounding land could no longer be teleported.
"Broken Sword Soul?!"
Once again, the old man's Yuanying, who was left with only five swords, had a dull look in his eyes.
Hadn't they really fought the Sword Ghost yet? Why did this Heavenly Sword Ghost start to use his desperate skills? Was the psychological quality of this Sword Ghost so poor
But seeing that the Sword Ghost had already raised its twisted head, the several Nascent Souls had no time to hesitate and they quickly prepared themselves for the attack.
