Except for the old man's Nascent Soul, the other three Nascent Souls all had some excitement in their eyes.
Judging from the Sword Ghost’s actions just now, the curse aimed at the sword cultivator is likely to fall on the old man with the Five Swords.
As long as he could survive the indiscriminate bombing, he would have a chance to defeat the sword ghost who was no longer able to fight...
But the next scene left them stunned.
Just as the sword ghost was about to roar, a flash of lightning appeared on its body.
The Sword Soul Collapse Technique was forcibly suppressed, and only the effect of locking and teleporting remained.
As if somewhat unconvinced, the sword ghost raised his head again.
Unfortunately, after holding it in for so long, nothing happened.
The old man who was at the Nascent Soul stage with six minus one sword had to endure ups and downs that he shouldn't have to endure at his age, and he almost had a heart problem from being scared.
But... what exactly is this sword ghost
… …
"It's that sword ghost again..."
Luo Wusheng sighed.
At this moment, he and Ling Shuangxue were sitting side by side under a huge ancient tree, their hands lightly held together.
Well... This is borrowing the special method of the girl next to me to hide her breath.
Although it doesn't last long and there can't be obvious movements in the middle, it has an excellent concealment effect.
It was this method that enabled him to appear outside Jianyang Mountain without being discovered after building up momentum.
At this time, one of them was recovering from the injuries caused by the collapse of the sword soul, while the other was completely condensing the scattered sword intent.
If everything had gone according to the original plan, it should be about time for Ling Shuangxue to stabilize her condition and use the secret method of the Sword Pavilion to take in the dying Sword Ghost.
After doing this, today's matter should be over.
He could then happily bring his fully-strength Wuxiang and receive the Sword-Nourishing Incense as a reward from the Sword Pavilion Fairy beside him... Who knows, the other party might even give him a few cans of Sword-Nourishing Tea because of her good impression of him.
However…
Looking at the black mist figure that was stalling madly and was a bit helpless and furious, Luo Wusheng had a headache.
While recovering from her injuries, Ling Shuangxue also told him everything that had just happened.
And now, he can be said to have witnessed it with his own eyes.
(The Sword Ghost who can use the Collapse Sword Soul multiple times... Is this the protagonist of the Sword Ghost? You can use everyone's self-destruction at will, and this is not how you cheat...)
Complaining in his heart, Luo Wusheng cautiously moved his gaze towards himself.
The feeling of embracing a fairy just now still vaguely lingers on his hands...
But he just wanted to take a sneak peek at the condition of the woman next to him, but his movements paused slightly.
But he saw the girl next to him staring at him with her beautiful eyes without any concealment.
No stealthful glances can escape detection under this gaze.
But the other party was not moved at all.
Luo Wusheng, who was a little embarrassed, forced himself to calm down and coughed lightly: "Ahem... Fairy, are you sure you can take down the sword ghost now?"
Ling Shuangxue looked quietly at the young man beside her, not knowing what she was thinking, but finally she shook her head slightly.
"If it can continue to use the Collapse Sword Soul like before, even if my injuries are healed, I won't have any chance... But the way it looks now..."
The beautiful eyes flashed slightly, reflecting Luo Wusheng's appearance.
The Heavenly Sword Ghost failed to use the Collapse Sword Soul continuously at this moment, and there seemed to be no need to guess what the reason was.
However, she did not point it out, but was a little thoughtful.
“… There’s something strange about that sword ghost.”
"Not only can it use the Collapse Sword Soul multiple times... it has also stayed in Jianyang Mountain for too long."
"Sword ghosts are born crazy. Although they know how to seek benefits and avoid harm, destruction is their nature. They should not be able to stay in one place for such a long time... This is why every time a sword ghost appears, it will be discovered and dealt with in a short time."
"It's just that the Heavenly Sword Ghost hasn't appeared in the world for a long time, and even I overlooked this point for a while."
Ling Shuangxue turned her gaze away from Luo Wusheng and looked at the sword ghost in the air hundreds of feet away, frowning slightly: "Its aura is a little stronger than at the beginning..."
Luo Wusheng touched his chin.
This sword ghost is definitely not an ordinary heavenly sword ghost.
After each explosion, he would recover from his injuries as if undergoing a transformation, and become more and more powerful. This cheat was indeed a bit outrageous.
However, Ling Shuangxue's words seemed to indicate that she suspected something was wrong in Jianyang Mountain...
Luo Wusheng's eyes flickered.
There was one more thing he cared about.
For some reason, the Sword Ghost at this moment was affected by the power of the thunder that he had left in his body, and could no longer use the Collapse Sword Soul... Moreover, every time the opponent wanted to emit the hissing sound to activate the Collapse Sword Soul, he would have some inexplicable sensations from the thunder calamity that was wrapped around his body.
However, the sensation dissipated too quickly, and he had no time to grasp the message it represented.
While he was still thinking, he felt the hand holding his tighten slightly.
"What's wrong?"
Luo Wusheng looked beside him with some alertness.
Ling Shuangxue shook her head as if she had just come to her senses: "...Nothing."
While saying this, her eyes inadvertently fell on her hand connected to the young man beside her.
(If I had just dealt with the Sword Ghost, now...)
Chapter 245: The Attack of the Sword Demon
Luo Wusheng blinked in confusion.
But before he could start thinking about the intention of the woman's actions, his thoughts suddenly stopped.
He felt that the thunder tribulation he left in the sword ghost's body once again emitted some inexplicable sensations, and this time, the sensation was clearer than before.
Although he still couldn't figure out what was wrong, his gaze shifted to the sky hundreds of feet away.
The four Yuanyings have already started fighting with the Sword Ghost.
Even though there was confusion on their faces and they knew clearly that the situation was different, it was obvious that they did not want to miss the opportunity in front of them.
The inability of the Heavenly Rank Sword Ghost to use the Collapse Sword Soul directly caused the group of Nascent Souls, who had been afraid to take action for fear of being taken advantage of by others, to no longer be able to suppress the excitement in their hearts.
As long as they don't have the sword soul-breaking technique, they are somewhat confident that they can fight the Sword Ghost. At worst, they can compete with the other three in the end.
Everyone's condition is not affected by the Collapse of the Sword Soul, and it is still unknown who will win in the end.
Even the cautious old man Yuanying flew out three swords to attack tentatively while on guard, leaving two swords to guard at the side... But his eyes would look down from time to time, revealing a bit of pain.
The Sword Ghost under siege seemed to be in a short-circuit state because he could not use the Broken Sword Soul no matter what. His not-so-bright brain became even more twisted, and he did not react at all to the attacks from all around.
Golden lines began to appear on his body under the Nascent Soul spell.
Luo Wusheng was a little dazed watching this scene.
Is this a bug caused by the electric shock
However, since he can no longer use the Collapse Sword Soul, this Sword Ghost won't be taken down just like that, right
Luo Wusheng subconsciously looked at the beautiful woman beside him who also came for the Sword Ghost, but found that she had no intention of joining in the fight. Instead, she was looking at the battle with a frown, as if she was sensing something.
"That sword ghost... has an aura similar to sword intent gathering on its body."
Ling Shuangxue murmured, her eyes flickering.
An aura similar to that of sword intent
Luo Wusheng was just about to think about what this meant when he felt a palpitation in his heart.
The sensation transmitted back by the thunder tribulation that remained in the sword ghost's body was extremely clear at this moment.
And at this moment, the Sword Ghost, whose body was already covered with dense golden cracks, finally made a new move.
I saw a hand like a dead branch stretching out from the black fog.
Time seemed to slow down at this moment.
The magic of several Nascent Souls seemed to have come to a halt, while the cracks on the Sword Ghost's body quickly closed at this moment, and a thick, strange black fog replaced the golden light.
Then, almost in an instant, the sword ghost's hand like a dead branch pierced straight into its chest that was covered with layers of black mist.
(… If the sword ghost performs a “I kill myself” act, then whose head should the sword intent that falls down be counted on?)
Looking at the scene appearing before his eyes, Luo Wusheng couldn't help but think.
But it was obvious that the sword ghost did not intend to follow his idea.
The hand like a dead branch was shrouded in even thicker black fog and slowly moved outwards.
The terrifying power gathered at this moment, causing the situation to change drastically.
The expressions of the four Nascent Souls surrounding the Sword Ghost changed drastically after they sensed the terrifying aura. They subconsciously activated more spells, but this time the golden cracks on the Sword Ghost's body healed in just an instant, and even the surge of black fog became more intense.
During this process, the black fog wrapped around the Sword Ghost's body expanded further and further, as if forming a body that was constantly growing larger.
And Luo Wusheng gradually saw clearly what appeared in the sword ghost's outstretched hand.
It was a huge black mist hilt.
Luo Wusheng quickly recalled the scene in which he had captured the Earth-rank Sword Ghost attacking him with a small black mist sword... But the energy gathered on the hilt of this sword alone was not comparable to that of the small black mist sword.
As the sword ghost's black misty body continued to swell, the four Nascent Souls that besieged it found, after continuous spellcasting, that the damage caused by ordinary attacks to the sword ghost was becoming less and less obvious, almost like a scratch on its face.
"Impossible... This is impossible! This is completely different from the Heavenly Rank Sword Ghosts in the records! If all Heavenly Rank Sword Ghosts are like this, then we Yuanyings can only wait for them to actively use their Collapse Sword Souls before we have a chance to capture them... We can't even force out their Collapse Sword Souls?!"
A sword cultivator in his Nascent Soul stage held a long sword in his hand, which created countless leaf shadows and slashed towards the black fog, but all the shadows were swallowed up by the black fog, and his face showed panic.
Due to the scarcity of Heavenly Rank Sword Ghosts, this was the first time for them to participate in the Sword Ghost Hunt. However, such a change occurred during this first time...
At this moment, no matter how naive they were, they could see that there was something wrong with this Heavenly Grade Sword Ghost.
"... It seems that the Sword Pavilion Master and the...unidentified Jindan may not have succeeded."
The old man who had put all five swords back to his side and was guarding had a gleam in his eyes.
This sword ghost is very likely still intact after the sword soul collapsed... Otherwise, it cannot explain the two consecutive sword soul collapses just now.
He had these thoughts in his mind, but he didn't put them into words.
Because the sword ghost, who was in the process of drawing his sword and had grown to a height of nearly ten feet, suddenly turned his scarlet eyes in his direction.
(Damn it! Why did it target me again? Does it have a grudge against me?)
The old man lined up his five swords in front of him, guarding against possible attacks, but he cursed in his heart and decided to study the almanac carefully before going out in the future.
However, the Sword Ghost did not launch an attack, but just pulled the hilt of the sword in his hand out a few inches.
Its momentum was raised again.
There is a terrifying energy gathering in his body, which seems to be able to explode at any time.
… …
"Its strength has grown to a point that is almost at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul."
Ling Shuangxue tightly grasped the hand of the young man beside her: "The scope of the suppression of the power of heaven and earth has also expanded... and it seems to be..."
He looked around with a hint of worry.
Luo Wusheng touched his face and gave a slightly bitter smile.
This sword ghost is seeking revenge on me for giving him electric shock therapy.
Moreover, this thing is getting stronger and stronger, and ordinary means seem to have no chance of killing it... The thought of an undead creature in an evolving state is terrifying.
(… Using the full power of Wu Xiang combined with the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning that I can now summon should be able to effectively stop its movements. There is still a way out.)
But if you want to really deal with this sword ghost...
