Chapter 25: Green Light Defeates the Five Ghosts

The Jing River, more than 800 kilometers long, is the water transportation core of dozens of areas within the territory of the Chu State. Near every town on the Jing River, there is no shortage of pleasure boats and houseboats. Every night, the dazzling candlelight illuminates the river surface.

It was just dawn, and it should have been the quietest time on the river. However, Taoist Wudan, who was lingering here, pushed away the plump and soft woman with a pattern on her forehead, jumped to the window, raised his hand to push it open, and looked in the direction of Xiaping Mountain, with surprise and sarcasm in his eyes.

"Golden clouds rise, red clouds fill the sky, Fu Guang that guy actually ascended? He actually chose to ascend! Haha..."

"Master, you're up so early?"

The woman who was pushed aside forced herself to cheer up and wanted to be affectionate with Taoist Wudan for a while longer. After all, it was not common to meet such a handsome and generous man in a place of brothels.

But Taoist Wudan, who had already taken away most of the woman's essence yesterday, had no interest in the exhausted woman inside. He pushed her away, picked up his clothes, and walked out while adjusting his sleeves.

As he walked, magic spells surged on his robe, absorbing a steady stream of turbid energy from all around the pleasure boat.

'I say, do you really not intend to keep this identity? Although there are not many established monks here, it is a major transportation hub of the country after all. Your actions of collecting essence in the past three years have attracted the attention of many people. However, because the people collected each time are only one or two, and most of them are insignificant women in their eyes, they are unwilling to offend you. But this time you stole the essence of a whole ship of people, many of whom are local young masters. They may not be able to swallow this breath? '

A black jade skull hanging on Wodan's waist had red light flowing faintly in its eye sockets, communicating with him through the method of sound transmission.

'Fu Guang ascended, which means our plan has failed. After two days of collision, all cultivators affected by the laws and principles of the foreign Dao can suppress the alienated true Qi before ascending, and prevent it from transforming into Dao fruit fragments. If I don't rush back now, the guy you care about might escape.'

Taoist Wudan left the pleasure boat and looked at the large ship which had lost most of its life force. He made a hand gesture and fell into the water. He used the water escape method to come to the foot of Xiaping Mountain. He looked around and couldn't help laughing.

"Sure enough, although Fu Guang ascended, the power before he left was used to suppress the alienated true Qi, so that after the master left, the spiritual power of this Taoist temple began to stagnate and become disharmonious. Go, find that kid for me!"

Black gas was rising, and the five ghosts appeared outside Taiyi Temple again. But before they could enter, maple leaves fell from the sky, and dozens of golden lights were hidden in them, killing the five ghosts that approached one by one.

However, the five ghosts had a strange nature. Even if they were chopped into pieces by the golden light, they would recover as before in the blink of an eye and there was no substantial damage.

"You didn't run away? But you have the nerve to show off these two side door magic weapons, the Red Maple Sword Bag and the Red Leaf Sword Pill, to embarrass yourself?"

Taoist Wudan recognized the origin of the maple leaf at a glance. His eyes dimmed, and he shook his long sleeves. A silver-white ring with a diameter of three inches appeared in his hand.

It was thrown out casually, and a hexagonal light appeared. It spun around, and cold flames flew around, forming a vortex that tried to encircle the seventy-two red leaf sword balls hidden in the maple leaves.

Chu Tai, who was hiding in the dark, knew as soon as he saw the ring that this treasure could restrain treasures such as flying swords. He stretched out his hand and pointed at the void, and the Golden Danxia Banner rose into the air. The banner shook, and red fire Danxia golden light fell, and waves of flames spread violently in all directions.

Different from the Red Leaf Sword Pill which is essentially a magical weapon from an unconventional sect, the Five Ghosts did not dare to come into too much contact with the red fire and golden light that was refined by the Jinhua Sect's ingenious method. They retreated again and again, leaving room for the flames to wrestle with the light circle.

Just as Taoist Fu Guang had said at the beginning, although Chu Tai's cultivation was not as good as Wo Dan's, he was better in the purity of his true Qi. In a struggle, he had the upper hand. The golden light of the red fire Danxia easily suppressed the cold flame of the light circle. The blazing golden flame circled the circle, rolling it up and down, grinding away a lot of the cold flame.

However, such a struggle would inevitably reveal some of the aura, giving Taoist Wudan the opportunity to seize.

"Got you!"

Although they were somewhat surprised at the strength of Chu Tai's magic power, when Taoist Wudan sensed Chu Tai's aura, he laughed out loud. The Five Ghosts flew towards the direction where Chu Tai was hiding, trying to catch him.

A cold current surged, and a few points of green light fell. The remaining skylight on it broke through the ghost energy and pierced the five unsuspecting ghosts. The misty Qi of the Nine Springs condensed inside instantly eroded the essence of the five ghosts.

The white-faced ghost wearing gold and silver screamed, and its body instantly broke apart, blood flowing all over the ground. The green-faced ghost, entangled with the fragrance of medicine and plague, was covered with vines all over his body and died on the spot.

The black-faced ghost, whose body was swollen and oozing with pus, was like a deflated ball, with only a ball of negative energy left rolling around in place.

The skinny and strong yellow-faced ghost seemed to have weathered away and turned into yellow sand all over the sky.

Finally, the two red-faced ghosts were frozen by the cold air.

What's even more cruel is that a wisp of Wudan's original true Qi within the Five Ghosts was affected by the Yin Jing Mengbo Qi of the Nine Springs, and invaded his body in the opposite direction, lurking in his internal organs, making his limbs cold and his chest frozen.

"Nine Springs Yin Scenery Misty Qi! How is it possible! He still has the energy to suppress the alienated true qi while retaining the Nine Springs Yin Scenery Misty Qi?"

Taoist Wudan seemed to be frightened out of his wits. He shook his long sleeves and black air appeared out of nowhere, trying to roll him up and leave the place.

“Yuan Xiang Li Zhen, Hao Dang Shen Jun… Nine Phoenixes destroy the filth, and the evil spirits are destroyed… Hurry up and obey the command!”

Chu Tai suddenly jumped out, stepped on Tiangang, chanted the mantra, changed the hand gestures, pointed at Taoist Wudan, and the curse turned into a stream of light to temporarily expel the vitality around his body, allowing him to land again.

Then he swung the whisk and performed the Taiyi Iron Whisk Technique. This technique is one of the Jinhua Sect's self-defense martial arts. It can use the softest object to exert a thousand pounds of force. It has the mysterious effect of being soft and yet hard, and hardness hidden in softness. It seems to be a grand move when performed, but it actually contains many tricks.

Taoist Wudan had been frequenting places of entertainment for years, and his skills had obviously declined. After dodging twice, Chu Tai knocked his crown off his head, cut off half of his long hair, and his exposed skin was scratched bright red by the flying hair of the whisk. He looked very embarrassed.

He laughed in anger, with dark energy rolling on his face, and stretched out his hand to grab Chu Taixu.

"Do you really think that Jiuquan's Yin Jing Meng Bo Qi can hurt me? Don't forget, I used this true Qi to hurt Fu Guang! Come here!"

The slightly turbid pure Yin Huachen Tiansui true Qi surged, and the Jiuquan Yin Jingmengbo Qi that had previously invaded his body did not surge at all, as if it was suppressed by some force. The vast and turbid magic power turned into a giant black hand and grabbed towards Chu Tai.

With a flick of the whisk in his hand, the eight trigrams pattern lit up, and the whisk rolled up a strong wind to block it for a while, and then a long-burning lamp appeared, and soft golden light spread out, layer by layer, forming a cloud of light, which supported the big hand and prevented it from falling.

Afterwards, Chu Tai stretched out his hand and made a gesture. A stream of light jumped out from the surrounding vegetation, followed the sunlight, and flew diagonally towards Taoist Wudan.

Wudan opened his eyes wide and screamed, "Chenxiang Sword Pill! Wait, how can your magic power handle it!"

As a fellow apprentice who had practiced together with Fu Guang for hundreds of years, he knew too well the peculiarity of this agarwood sword pill. Taoist Fu Guang had spent countless efforts in refining it. Not only was its essence pure and holy, but it also contained a trace of endless energy, which was the most powerful force to restrain his turbid pure yin Huachen Tiansui true qi.

He thought that Taoist Fu Guang would leave some backup plans for Chu Tai to use against him, and he also thought of some targeted means, but no matter how much he thought about it, he never expected that Chu Tai's magic power would be so strong, and he didn't expect that he would hide the Chenxiang Sword Pill aside.

Taoist Wudan opened his eyes wide, his robe flew up, and his turbid energy rolled, blurring his qi, allowing him to take the opportunity to retreat three or four steps and avoid this fatal move that was intended to lock his qi.

Taoist Wudan, who escaped death, was covered in sweat. He did not dare to be careless when facing Chu Tai. He first threw down the black jade skull around his waist, then turned his wrist and released a colorful mist to protect himself.

Before the black jade skull hit the ground, green flames were burning all around it. It suddenly expanded several times, opened its mouth and bit the agarwood sword ball in mid-air, and then spun around and chopped it down again, spitting out wisps of black gas transformed from the dim and misty Qi of the Nine Springs, trying to contaminate it.
