Chapter 484
He first walked around the edge of the hall and carefully observed the surrounding environment. He saw that the walls were engraved with ancient runes and patterns. These runes and patterns looked like an ancient formation, but due to the erosion of time, it was difficult to identify their specific purpose. Fu Shaoping thought that if he could decipher these runes, he might be able to know the secrets of this hall and some of the truth about the ghost town.
He approached the wall and wanted to take a closer look at the runes. Suddenly, several small black monsters jumped out from the cracks in the stone. These monsters were small in size, but extremely fast. They opened their bloody mouths and showed their sharp fangs, and rushed towards Fu Shaoping. Fu Shaoping quickly dodged sideways and swung the Star Scimitar at the same time. The scimitar flashed a cold light in the air and cut a small monster into two pieces. But these small monsters seemed to have no fear and continued to rush towards him.
Fu Shaoping realized that passive defense was not a solution, so he began to take the initiative. He injected spiritual power into the Star Scimitar, and the light on the scimitar became stronger. He shouted and rushed towards the group of small monsters. The scimitar was wielded in his hand like flowing water, and each swing could kill one or several small monsters. Under his fierce attack, the small monsters gradually lost and began to flee.
Fu Shaoping did not chase after the little monsters, but turned around and walked towards the stone platform in the center of the hall again. As he gradually approached the stone platform, the flickering faint light became clearer and clearer. When he finally walked in front of the stone platform, he was surprised to find a bead emitting a faint blue light on the stone platform. The bead was surrounded by wisps of Yin Qi, as if it was absorbing the power of the ghost town.
Fu Shaoping didn't know the origin of this bead, but he could feel that the bead contained powerful power.
He hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether he should take the beads away.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a low roar coming from the depths of the hall. The roar was full of anger and warning, as if warning him not to mess with the things on the stone platform. Fu Shaoping clenched the Star Scimitar and was ready to face the unknown danger that was coming.
Fu Shaoping stood in the ruined hall, the stone platform in front of him emitting a cold light, and the dark blue bead seemed to be telling endless secrets. However, the low roar broke the brief silence, and a transformed ghost king slowly appeared from the depths of the hall.
This transformed ghost king was huge, surrounded by a thick yin energy, as if it was the incarnation of darkness. Its eyes flashed a strange red light, revealing an endless murderous aura. Fu Shaoping's heart tightened, he knew that today's battle would definitely be a battle of life and death.
The Ghost King has five magical powers, each of which is enough to scare people. The first magical power is called "Shadow Phantom Killing", which can create countless phantoms in the shadows, all of which can launch attacks and make people defenseless; the second magical power is "Ghost Prison Dark Flame", which can spray black dark flames from the mouth. Once the dark flames touch the soul, the soul will be burned; the third magical power is "Soul-Captivating Magic Sound", the sound waves emitted can directly attack the enemy's soul and make it fall into chaos; the fourth magical power is called "Blood Demon Shadow", the Ghost King can separate his blood evil power and turn it into a powerful magic shadow to attack; the fifth magical power is "Void Ghost Escape", which can shuttle through the void and instantly appear in the enemy's unexpected place.
The Ghost King also possessed an acquired spiritual treasure, a ghost-head sickle that emitted a faint green glow. The sickle was engraved with runes, and each rune exuded a strong yin energy. This spiritual treasure complemented the power of the Ghost King, making its attack more fierce.
Fu Shaoping took a deep breath, knowing that he could not sit and wait for death. He first prepared to perform the Daluo Vajra Seal. He spread his feet, stood firmly on the ground, and quickly formed seals with his hands. In his heart, he silently recited the formula: "The power of Vajra, subdue the demons in the world. The seal method is natural, protect my true body." As the formula moved, his spiritual power began to circulate wildly in his body and gathered towards his hands. I saw a golden mark gradually forming between his hands. The mark became larger and larger, and the light became more and more intense. When the mark was fully formed, it was like a small sun, emitting dazzling golden light. Fu Shaoping shouted: "Daluo Vajra Seal, go!" The golden mark flew towards the ghost king, and the yin energy dissipated wherever it passed. The ghost king felt the power of the Daluo Vajra Seal, and a trace of surprise flashed in its eyes, but soon recovered its fierceness. It performed the "Shadow Phantom Killing" magical power, and dozens of phantoms instantly appeared in the shadows around it, and these phantoms rushed towards the Daluo Vajra Seal. The golden mark collided with the phantom, emitting a dazzling light. The phantoms were shattered one after another, but it also consumed a lot of power of the Daluo Vajra Seal.
Seeing this, Fu Shaoping immediately prepared the Prisoner Ice Seal. He crossed his hands in front of his chest, then slowly raised them up, chanting a cold spell: "The power of ice comes from heaven and earth. It imprisons all things and freezes all evil." A trace of cold air began to appear around his body, and the cold air quickly spread, freezing the surrounding space. His spiritual power continued to be injected into this icy power, and a huge ice-blue seal gradually formed. Fu Shaoping's forehead was full of sweat. This Prisoner Ice Seal consumed a lot of spiritual power. He gritted his teeth and pushed the Prisoner Ice Seal towards the Ghost King. The Ghost King felt the threat of the icy power, and it opened its mouth and spewed out the "Ghost Prison Dark Flame". The black dark flame met the ice-blue seal, and for a while, the contest between ice and fire unfolded in the hall. The ice seal continued to freeze the dark flame, and the dark flame was also constantly melting the ice, and the two were in a stalemate. Fu Shaoping was anxious, and he knew that this was not a solution.
At this time, he drew out the Star Scimitar. This Star Scimitar was his favorite magic weapon. He held the scimitar tightly and injected his soul power into it. He thought silently in his heart: "The power of the stars is gathered in the knife. Help me kill the enemy and break this evil spirit." The Star Scimitar began to flash with star-like light, and the light became brighter and brighter, as if the brightest star in the night sky had descended. Fu Shaoping waved the scimitar and rushed towards the Ghost King. Seeing this, the Ghost King cast the "Soul-Captivating Magic Sound", and the terrifying sound waves attacked Fu Shaoping. Fu Shaoping only felt as if his soul was pierced by countless sharp needles, but he endured the pain and continued to rush towards the Ghost King. His Star Scimitar collided with the Ghost King's ghost-head sickle, making a harsh metal sound.
Fu Shaoping knew that it would be difficult to win alone, so he quickly summoned twelve Thunder Swords. He waved his hands and chanted the formula of the sword formation: "The power of thunder, where swords gather. Taiyi Sword Formation, to subdue demons and eliminate evil." The twelve Thunder Swords quickly flew around him and arranged in specific positions to form the Taiyi Sword Formation. The power of thunder and lightning flashed on each sword, and the thunder and lightning intertwined to form a powerful electric grid. Fu Shaoping commanded the Taiyi Sword Formation to attack the Ghost King. The Ghost King used "Blood Demon Shadow" to separate several Blood Demon Shadows and rushed towards the sword formation. The Blood Demon Shadow collided with the power of thunder and lightning, and the entire hall was shrouded in light and vibration. Fu Shaoping concentrated on controlling the sword formation, and his inner monologue said: "I must hold on, this Ghost King is too powerful, I can't let up at all."
During the battle, Fu Shaoping felt that his spiritual power was seriously depleted. He decided to use the Flying Demon Bodyguard to enhance his defense and attack capabilities. He put his hands together above his head and chanted a spell: "The power of flying, the power of subduing demons. Bless me and I will be invincible." A layer of light golden light appeared around his body, which gradually formed a golden armor with runes of subduing demons engraved on it. He felt that his strength had been enhanced and his physical fatigue had been reduced a lot. He rushed towards the Ghost King again and fought with him in close combat. However, the Ghost King's strength was too strong. It suddenly performed "Void Ghost Escape" and disappeared in front of Fu Shaoping. Fu Shaoping was startled. He looked around vigilantly. Suddenly, the Ghost King appeared behind him, and the ghost-headed sickle chopped at his back. Fu Shaoping had no time to dodge. At this critical moment, he summoned the Heavenly Dragon God of the Underworld Temple to assist. As soon as the Sky Dragon God appeared, he let out a roar that shook the heavens, and swung his huge dragon claws towards the Ghost King. The Ghost King's attack rhythm was disrupted by the sudden appearance of the Sky Dragon God, and he turned around and fought with the Sky Dragon God.
Fu Shaoping took the opportunity to adjust his state, he knew that the final decisive battle was coming. He took out the natal spirit seal from the storage space. This natal spirit seal was made by his own blood and blood, and it was connected to his soul. He held the natal spirit seal in both hands and chanted the last spell: "The power of the natal spirit, the spirit seal is powerful." The natal spirit seal began to emit a strong light, and various mysterious runes appeared in the light. These runes revolved around Fu Shaoping, forming a huge rune shield. At the same time, the power of the natal spirit seal also began to affect the surrounding environment. The yellow sand was rolled up by the power of the runes, forming huge sand pillars. The sand pillars swept towards the ghost king, and the ghost king struggled in the sand pillars.
Fu Shaoping gritted his teeth and released all the power of his natal spirit seal. He rushed towards the Ghost King, and the star scimitar in his hand flashed again. The Dragon God also cooperated with Fu Shaoping's attack, constantly attacking the Ghost King with dragon breath and dragon claws. The Ghost King was besieged by Fu Shaoping, the Dragon God, and the power of his natal spirit seal, and gradually fell into a disadvantage. But it was a Ghost King with the power of the incarnation spirit after all. It struggled frantically and used "Ghost Prison Dark Flame" and "Blood Demon Shadow" again, trying to make a final resistance.
Fu Shaoping shouted in his heart: "I must destroy this ghost king today." He poured all his remaining spiritual power into the Star Scimitar and the Taiyi Sword Formation. The light of the Star Scimitar became more dazzling, and the lightning power of the Taiyi Sword Formation became more fierce. Fu Shaoping and the Dragon God launched the final attack at the same time. Fu Shaoping's Star Scimitar pierced the ghost king's body, and the lightning power of the Taiyi Sword Formation completely enveloped the ghost king. The dragon breath of the Dragon God directly impacted the ghost king's soul.
After a burst of dazzling light and violent vibrations, the Ghost King was finally destroyed. Fu Shaoping collapsed to the ground exhausted, his spiritual power almost exhausted.
After defeating the Ghost King, Fu Shaoping sat on the ground exhausted, breathing heavily. His spiritual power was almost exhausted, but he knew that the corpse of the Ghost King was a very precious thing and could not be abandoned like this.
He stood up slowly and took out a special jade box from the storage space. This jade box was made of thousand-year-old cold jade and had the function of sealing and preserving spiritual objects. Fu Shaoping approached the corpse of the ghost king. Although the corpse was lifeless, it still exuded a strong yin energy. He squatted down carefully, with caution and awe in his eyes.
He first set his sights on the Ghost King's ghost-head sickle, which was an acquired spiritual treasure. He stretched out his hand to grasp the handle of the sickle, and as soon as he touched it, he felt a cold yin energy coming along his arm. He quickly circulated the little spiritual power left in his body to suppress the yin energy. He carefully examined the sickle and found that the runes on the sickle became a little dim after the death of the Ghost King, but still contained powerful power. Fu Shaoping thought that if this sickle was re-refined and the yin energy in it was removed, it might become an extremely powerful magic weapon. He put the ghost-head sickle into a separate compartment of the jade box to ensure that it would not interact with other things.
Then, Fu Shaoping began to clean up the ghost king's body. The ghost king's body was huge and hard, and he took a lot of effort to break off one of the ghost king's arms. He thought to himself: "Every part of this ghost king's body contains powerful power, so it can't be wasted." He put the broken arm into the jade box. As soon as the arm was put in, the jade box glowed with a faint light. This was the jade box sealing the Yin energy on the arm.
In the process of collecting the corpse of the Ghost King, Fu Shaoping was somewhat conflicted. On the one hand, he felt that using the corpse of the Ghost King to enhance his own strength seemed a bit cruel and immoral; but on the other hand, he knew that in this world of cultivation, resources were very precious, and if these corpses were not used, they might be obtained by other people with ill intentions, thus causing greater harm.
When he collected the ghost king's head, he found two crystal clear beads in the eye area of the head. The two beads emitted a faint red light, and Fu Shaoping guessed that this might be the essence of the ghost king's years of practice. He carefully took out the two beads. The two beads were cold to the touch, and Fu Shaoping could feel that the beads contained powerful soul power. He thought that these two beads might be used to refine pills to enhance soul power, or be integrated into his own magic weapon to enhance the magic weapon's defense against soul attacks. He packed the beads separately in a small spiritual jade box and then put them in the jade box.
As the corpse of the ghost king was being collected, the surrounding Yin Qi was gradually weakening. After Fu Shaoping put all the corpses of the ghost king into the jade box, he cast several sealing spells on the jade box. He chanted the spell: "Spiritual power of heaven and earth, listen to my command. Seal it here, don't move it." As the spell was chanted, rays of light appeared on the jade box, firmly sealing the Yin Qi and the power of the corpse inside.
After cleaning up the corpse of the Ghost King, Fu Shaoping once again looked around the ruined hall. At this time, the dangerous atmosphere in the hall had dissipated a lot. (End of this chapter)
