Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 736 Who is the mantis and who is the oriole?

Jiyou Jun, Fengzu Jun and another ghost king gathered together.
In front of them, three large black shields blocked their way.
"Jiyou Jun, that's the Nine Swords Master of the human race. I'm afraid we won't be able to resolve this peacefully today!" Fengzu Jun's face was filled with panic.

He was only a low-rank fourth rank, the weakest among the three.
The scene of the Nine Swords Master beheading the Fourth-Rank Middle-Grade Ghost King with one sword just now was still replaying in his mind.

He knew that once he left the protection of these three huge shields, only death would await him!

"Bongzu-kun, hold on, reinforcements will be here soon!"

"When the king of my Saint Clan comes, no matter how powerful the Nine Swords Master is, he will still end up falling!"

When the three ghost kings gathered together to defend, Zhou Xun, Tianci Zhenjun and Jiujian Zhenjun surrounded the three ghost kings in the middle.
After looking at each other, Zhou Xun sent a message to the Nine Swords Master:

"Senior Jiujian, it's up to you from now on!"

"Don't worry, I also know a little bit about acting!" Jiujian Zhenjun smiled slightly, clasped his hands together, and pointed to the air.
All of a sudden, the nine flying swords began to transform and merge.
A moment passed,

A giant green sword a hundred feet in size appeared in the air, with spiritual light flickering around it, clearing away the ghost fog within a thousand feet radius nearby.

Only this huge green sword remained, suppressing the enemy from above.

The powerful pressure caused the three ghost kings to change color at the same time!

"Can we really stop this?" Feng Zujun asked weakly.
"It should be possible!" Ji Youjun was also a little uncertain.
"Hurry up and use your original ghost energy to bless us. Once the big shield is broken, there will be only one way to go for you and me!" Another ghost king was very anxious and asked in a hurry.
As he spoke, he opened his mouth slightly, and a fist-sized black ghost bead flew out.

Under his control,
It emitted a beautiful black light, which flew towards the three large shields in front.
The moment he approached, he was sucked into the shield.

With the blessing of these original ghost energies, the shield shone brightly, and a layer of dark halo appeared on the surface, giving people a feeling of being indestructible!
Seeing this, Jiyoujun and Fengzujun followed suit, each offering up their own ghost beads and injecting the original ghost energy into the big shield.

In an instant, the aura of the three large shields became even more eerie and terrifying, and the surrounding space seemed to be distorted by this evil force.

Upon seeing this, Lord Nine Swords snorted coldly and changed his hand gestures again. The hundred-foot-long green sword trembled slightly and made a buzzing sound, as if it was accumulating even more powerful power.

"You're just pretending. Do you think you can scare us like this?" Ji Youjun said with forced calmness, but the trembling in his voice could hardly conceal his inner fear.

Zhou Xun and Tianci Zhenjun looked at each other, and a barely perceptible smile flashed in their eyes. They knew that Jiujian Zhenjun was deliberately creating momentum.
"Concentrate the sword technique and cut!"

Nine Swords Master shouted softly,
The hundred-foot-long green giant sword was slowly raised under his control. The sword was emitting a radiant light, and every movement of the sword carried a hint of chill.

Then he slashed downwards.
To the naked eye, the giant sword moves extremely slowly, giving people a sense of oppression that cannot be avoided.

When the three ghost kings saw this, their faces turned pale instantly. They could clearly feel the destructive aura contained in this sword.

At this moment, the fear in their hearts had reached its peak.
They could only try their best to maintain the defense of the big shield and continuously inject the ghost energy in their bodies into it, hoping to withstand this fatal blow.

"boom!"

The next moment, the giant green sword slashed fiercely on the three large shields.

The strong impact force spread in all directions, instantly blowing away the surrounding ghost fog, forming a huge circular hole, and the ground was also cracked by the shock.

Bottomless cracks spread into the distance.

The three large shields began to tremble violently, and the dark halo on their surfaces kept flickering, as if they could break at any time.

But soon, the giant green sword came to an abrupt stop and returned with all its strength exhausted!

Seeing this scene, Jiyoujun laughed crazily:
"We stopped him. The Nine Swords Master is just a name in vain!"

Feng Zujun also breathed a sigh of relief, finally safe and sound.

The other ghost king also showed a long-lost smile, and his face became relaxed.

"It seems that the name of this Nine Swords True Lord is just a rumor. In reality, he is not that powerful. The three of us can fight him together!"

"It's a pity that 'Meng Xunjun' just now, if he hadn't run away, it would have been much easier for us to deal with him!"

"Yes!" Ji Youjun nodded repeatedly.

On the other side, the Nine Swords Master looked a little embarrassed, and he felt lucky.

He almost lost control and broke the three large shields. Fortunately, he retracted 50% of his power at the last moment, otherwise it would have been a big deal!

at this time,

A black spiritual light rushed over from a distance.

"Reinforcements are coming!"

The three ghost kings of the ghost clan were overjoyed when they saw this. They were already frightened by the giant sword of the Nine Swords Master, and the arrival of the reinforcements undoubtedly gave them a reassurance.

A black spiritual light arrived in an instant, and when the light faded, a tall and stern-faced ghost king was revealed.

He was surrounded by ghostly energy and had a powerful aura. He was actually a top-grade fourth-rank ghost king, and his strength was far superior to the previous few fourth-rank ghosts.

"Greetings, Lord Qianshe King!" Lord Jiyou, Lord Fengzu and another ghost king hurriedly saluted respectfully.

"Hmph, you three pieces of trash have been forced into such a situation by humans!" King Qianshe snorted coldly, his eyes filled with contempt and anger.

"Please forgive me, sir. The Nine Swords Master of the human race is too powerful. If we hadn't fought desperately, I'm afraid we would have lost our lives long ago."

Ji Youjun explained carefully, with a flattering look on his face.

"Lord Nine Swords, is it him?" King Qianshe frowned slightly, looking at Lord Nine Swords in the distance, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

"It is this person. My lord, you must avenge Lord Meng Xun!" Lord Fengzu quickly echoed.

King Qianshe did not say anything, but just silently observed the Nine Swords Master, secretly estimating the other party's strength in his heart.

Although he showed disdain for Ji Youjun and the others, he knew in his heart that the Nine Swords True Lord in front of him was no ordinary person as he could make these three guys so embarrassed.

"His strength is definitely worthy of his name!"

"The Nine Swords Master of the human race, I have moved to seek your advice!"

"It just so happens that I also want to see your high skills, so go ahead!" Nine Swords Master snorted coldly, put his hands behind his back, and looked calm and composed.
With a single point of the sword, nine flying swords were aimed at King Qianshe on the opposite side.

Upon hearing this, King Qianshe waved his hands, and the ghost energy around him instantly surged, rolling like black waves. In an instant, the ghost energy spread and enveloped his figure.
After a while, the ghost fog dissipated, and a black ghost head a hundred feet in size appeared in the field, surrounded by black shadows.

The ghost head had bared fangs and claws, a ferocious look, and exuded a chilling aura, as if it was ready to devour someone.

"go with!"

King Qianshe shouted loudly and pushed his hands forward. The black ghost head rushed towards the Nine Swords Master with a whistling sound. Wherever it passed, the space was corroded by the ghost energy and made a "sizzling" sound, as if it was corroded by strong acid.

The ghosts around him also scattered and attacked from different directions.
Seeing this, the Nine Swords Master's eyes fixed, and his hands quickly changed into magic spells.

The nine flying swords that were originally suspended above the head suddenly shone brightly, turning into nine streams of light, which collided fiercely with the ghost head.
The dozen or so ghost images were instantly shattered, and the sword body slammed heavily into the ghost's head.

Countless "ding ding" metal collision sounds were heard.

The next moment, the ghost head suddenly exploded and turned into pools of black mud, wrapping the flying sword, as if to collect it completely.

The Nine Swords Master's expression remained unchanged, but his spell changed and he pointed at the nine flying swords.
I saw a bright light, and sword lights separated and turned into gray silk threads, cutting in all directions!
"This is, turning sword into silk!"

One of the top magical powers of sword cultivation!

I saw the black mud suddenly split into pieces and fell from the sky!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the nine flying swords hummed and flew back to the top of the Nine Swords Master's head, pointing at King Qianshe.

"What a great Nine Swords Master! His reputation is well-deserved!" King Qianshe exclaimed in praise. With a flick of his hand, the fallen mud pieces flew up again and combined together.
It transformed back into a ghost head a hundred feet in size, without any damage!
"Hmph, you're not bad either!" Lord Jiujian snorted coldly. The ghost king in front of him was extremely powerful and he couldn't kill him by himself.

On the other side, Zhou Xun and Tianci Zhenjun were not idle either. Taking advantage of the confrontation between Jiujian Zhenjun and Qianshe King, they displayed their unique skills.

He rushed towards Ji Youjun and the other two, but was then pinned down by Ji Youjun's three ghost kings.
"Boy, the Nine Swords Master is a famous figure, it's fine if he can suppress us, but who are you? Do you think I'm made of mud?"

As he was speaking, a giant ghost palm fell from the sky and smashed towards Zhou Xun.
Faced with such an earth-shattering blow, Zhou Xun could only "try his best to dodge" and looked extremely embarrassed!

However, his eyes were extremely calm, and the look he gave Ji Youjun was full of coldness.

While the two were fighting, a beam of light came rushing from behind and landed in front of everyone.

It was the Purple Dragon Demon King.
But soon, another black spiritual light flew over, and it was a fourth-level intermediate-grade ghost king.

In this way, the True Lords of the human race and the Demon Kings of the ghost race continued to gather here.
Before long, more than a dozen ghost kings had gathered here, most of them were above the fourth-level mid-grade.

There are as many as seven fourth-level top-grade ghost kings alone, and the Phantom King and Blood Shadow King are among them.

On the human side, apart from Zhou Xun and his companions,

Only four great monks showed up, namely True Lord Xuanlang, Demon Emperor Nanyuan, Demon Emperor Leiyu and Demon Emperor Liefeng.

“Qianshe, I originally thought I was just rescuing my Saint Clan members, but I didn’t expect to gain such a reward!” The Phantom King licked his lips and revealed a charming smile.

"Hahaha, including the Nine Swords Master, there are five great cultivators. We must make achievements today!"

More than a dozen ghost kings surrounded Zhou Xun and others.

"Yes, I am lucky today. When I go back, my two brothers will be so jealous!"

"The Nascent Soul of the Great Monk tastes extremely delicious!"

The Blood Shadow King's rough voice sounded, and it was obvious that they regarded Zhou Xun and others as prey!
"Human monks, if you surrender to our Saint Clan, you may still be able to save your life!" King Qianshe said slowly:

Hearing this, Zhou Xun looked at everyone and smiled slightly.
"Really? Little do you know that there is an old saying among our race: the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it."

"I wonder if you are a praying mantis or a yellow bird?"

Zhou Xun chuckled and crushed a jade talisman in his hand.
Then,

Three rays of light came rushing from afar and landed at the outermost edge!

The leader was tall, majestic, and dressed in a black cloak, like an ancient god descending from heaven. It turned out to be the True Lord.

The man on his left was wearing a golden dragon robe, had two horns on his head, and looked majestic. He was the Golden Dragon Demon King!

The man on the right is dressed in Confucian attire, with a gentle temperament, like a great scholar who is well-read in poetry and books. However, he is Tianyi Zhenjun, the number one righteous man in Zhongzhou.

The arrival of the three people surrounded the ghost tribe again.

"It's you, Lord Yan Mo, the Golden Dragon Demon King!"

The Phantom King recognized them instantly.
As soon as these words came out, many ghost kings were shocked. As the saying goes, a person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree.

Lord Yama was the one who single-handedly killed five high-ranking ghost kings, and his power was feared throughout the world!
He alone can suppress half of their fighting power.

What's more, there is the Golden Dragon Demon King.

Although this teasing is not as terrifying as that of Lord Yama, it is still not comparable to that of ordinary ghost kings.

King Qianshe's face was gloomy, and he thought of what Zhou Xun had just said, and he seemed to understand something.

"You. You deliberately designed this to lure us here!"

"Hahaha, Your Excellency finally understood. Speaking of which, acting with you guys is really tiring!" Zhou Xun chuckled.
Then he set his eyes on Ji Youjun who was standing opposite him:

"Jiyou Jun, right? For the blow you just made, I will definitely repay you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he slapped the storage bag on his waist.
I saw a flash of blood.
Then, a pale, bloodless young man in a red robe suddenly appeared in front of Ji Youjun.

Holding a short black blade,
He aimed at Ji Youjun's head and stabbed it hard.
At the same time, the other hand reached into his abdomen.

"laugh--"

Like the sound of tearing rags,
The young man's left hand easily pierced through his abdomen and passed through his back.

In the palm of his hand, there was a fist-sized, ink-black bead lying there, still beating constantly, as if trying to escape!

But as the red light flashed in his hand, the ghost bead instantly fell silent!
The fourth-rank intermediate-grade ghost king Ji Youjun, who was still arrogant a moment ago, fell!

The person who took action was none other than the Blood Demon Emperor!
From the time Zhou Xun summoned the Blood Demon Emperor to the time he succeeded in his attack, only a short breath of time passed!
"Human race, how dare you!"

"Humans, stop!" Angry shouts rang out!
But it was the ghost kings who reacted.
At the same time, black mists swept towards the Blood Demon Emperor.

But the next moment, the red light flashed again, and the Blood Demon Emperor returned to Zhou Xun!

"Everyone, what do you think?"

The ghost kings all looked gloomy.

Yan Mo Zhenjun and others were extremely surprised. They had never thought that Zhou Xun had such magical powers.
But now is not the time to be curious.
Lord Yan Mo's eyes gradually turned cold as he looked at the Ghost King in front of him. He waved his hand and said:
"kill!"
