I have a heavenly book of merit and virtue

Chapter 313: Cutting down the Ghost Crying Gate with a Knife! (Subscribe)
"Chen Yan, little boy! Come here and see me!

The deafening shout resounded throughout the entire Ghost Island.

Along with this loud shout, a tremendous and terrifying aura rose up like a tsunami, surging and sweeping in all directions.

On the spirit ship, the sudden loud shout, coupled with the terrifying aura that was unique to the Ninth Refinement of the Yin God, caused the Four-Winged Cicada, who had only recovered the strength of the First Refinement of the Yin God, to turn pale suddenly, with dense cold sweat oozing from his forehead.

He looked at the young man in black robe in front of him with fear, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

Chen Yan glanced at the Four-Winged Cicada from the side, as if he could see its fear, and spoke in a calm tone:
"What are you afraid of? I will take care of this man. You and Wang Lingguan's targets are those elders who have practiced Qi Refining and Spiritual Transformation."

Although more than 90% of the Jindan elders in the Guiku Sect followed Jiang Li to the Netherworld, they all died on the Laoshan battlefield in the end.

But this does not mean that there are no Jindan elders who have achieved the state of refining Qi and becoming gods on Ghost Island.

In fact, there are still several Jindan elders who have achieved the level of Qi Refining and God Transformation on Ghost Island.

Moreover, the strength of these Jindan elders is not weak either. Most of them are in the late stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation, or even have perfect cultivation.

As for why Jiang Li didn't bring these powerful Qi Refiners to Xiangzhou...

That’s because those who have stayed on Ghost Island and have become gods all have one thing in common.

That means your life is coming to an end.

Just like the Ghost Crying Ancestor Gongsun Yang, these Jindan elders who stayed behind on Ghost Crying Island are all approaching their time of death and do not have many years left to live.

Although these Qi-refining and Spirit-transforming cultivators can still exert the strength of the Golden Core level, this comes at the cost of consuming their lifespan.

Therefore, the Guiku Sect would keep those Qi-refining and spirit-transforming cultivators who were about to pass away within the sect and would not easily send them out.

Once they are deployed, it means that the Guiku Sect has reached a moment of life and death.

For example, now.

The purpose of Chen Yan bringing Wang Lingguan and Four-Winged Cicada with him was to deal with the Ghost Crying Sect's golden elixirs, whose time was running out on Ghost Crying Island.

To avoid heavy casualties among the 3,000 Dragon Sparrow Army he brought.

Relying on the advantages of the Blood Thunder Curse Bird Gun, the Dragon Sparrow Army is able to deal with ordinary Ghost Crying Sect disciples, but once they face the elders who have reached the stage of Qi Refining and God Transformation, they will be a little stretched.

You have to know that the Dragon Sparrow Army was cultivated with great effort by Chen Yan at a great cost. Any casualty would be a big loss for him, Chen Yan, and Xiangzhou.

Therefore, we should try our best to avoid casualties.

How could the Four-Winged Cicada dare to contradict Chen Yan? He could only bow his head and nod repeatedly:

"Yes Yes!"

Chen Yan glanced at the Four-Winged Cicada and stopped paying attention to it. Instead, he looked at Wang Lingguan standing beside him:
"In the battle later, your and Four-Winged Cicada's main goal is to assist Xu Ji and his men in annihilating all the enemies on the island. Don't let any of them escape."

Chen Yan never advocated the idea of ​​only killing the main culprit.

There may really be "good people" in the Ghost Crying Sect who have never harmed innocent people, but these people are born in the Ghost Crying Sect and enjoy the benefits brought by the Ghost Crying Sect, so naturally they must bear the cause and effect of the Ghost Crying Sect.

Eliminating the root of the problem is the principle that Chen Yan believes in.

Compared to the frightened four-winged cicada, Wang Lingguan, who was only in the late stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation, was much calmer.

Even though the momentum of the Yin God Jiulian was constantly pressing, Wang Lingguan's expression did not change at all. After Chen Yan finished speaking, his expression became serious and he bowed his head respectfully:

"Here!"

After instructing Wang Lingguan and his generals, Chen Yan turned his attention back to the outside of the boat.

At this time, Gongsun Yang, who had not been seen for a long time, had already sneered and started to mock:
"What's wrong? Chen Yan, are you scared?"

"You have the guts to attack my Guiku Sect, but you don't have the guts to show up. The outside world is saying that you, Chen Yan, are a rare genius that only appears once in a thousand years. In my opinion, you are just a fake with nothing on the surface!"

Although Gongsun Yang kept mocking him, Old Bidden was very cautious.

They had not even left the range of the Guiku Sect's mountain protection formation.

In other words, Gongsun Yang can use the Guiku Sect's mountain protection formation to fight at any time.

Obviously, he was a cultivator who had reached the great perfection of the ninth stage of Yin Shen Refining, and he had an absolute advantage over the young man who had just broken through to the stage of Refining the Spirit and Returning to the Void. However, he did not relax his vigilance at all. This showed how insidious and cunning Gongsun Yang was.

He mocked Chen Yan in this way in order to provoke Chen Yan, lure him into the mountain protection formation, and then kill Chen Yan with the help of the power of the formation.

It can be said that although Gongsun Yang said that he looked down on Chen Yan, he actually valued him very much in his heart.

Gongsun Yang was not a fool either, and he believed that the young man opposite him who was famous in the three thousand worlds would not be one either.

But the other side had the courage to kill him in the Ghost Crying Sect, which naturally showed that the other party had a way to deal with him, a cultivator who had reached the great perfection of the Nine Refinements of the Yin God.

Although Gongsun Yang is not afraid, it does not mean that Gongsun Yang will foolishly go forward to meet it.

Just when Gongsun was making sarcastic remarks inside the formation.

But suddenly a black light flashed on the red spirit ship hovering outside the gate of Guikumen Mountain.

Then, a figure appeared in the air, overlooking the entire Ghost Island.

The man in black robe, with angular cheeks and eyes as deep as springs, was none other than Chen Yan!

All of a sudden, the eyes of the entire Guiku Sect were focused on the young man in the black robe.

Looking at Chen Yan's face that looked a little too young, disciples of the Ghost Crying Sect like Han Tong couldn't help but feel dazed.

At this age, if they were in their place, they would have only just started practicing cultivation and would at most have the strength of fetal breathing and Taoist foundation.

However, the young man in front of him had already reached the stage of refining the spirit and returning to the void, becoming a Yin Spirit master, on par with his own ancestor...

Although Chen Yan's aura was obviously weaker than Gongsun Yang, who had reached the ninth level of Yin Shen Refining, the powerful aura unique to refining the spirit and returning to the void still made the Ghost Crying Sect disciples present feel suffocated and oppressed.

What made the disciples of the Ghost Crying Sect feel even more pressured was the other party's age.

In his early twenties, he was refining his spirit and returning to the void...

According to the standard of one thousand years of spiritual cultivation and returning to the void, this young genius still has 980 years to live...

Thinking of this, not only the other disciples of Guiku Sect, but even Gongsun Yang himself had tears in his eyes.

Jealousy, resentment, hatred, anger, murderous intent...

"Chen Yan..."

The voice was hoarse and as cold as metal, and murderous intent was stirring. All kinds of looks appeared in Gongsun Yang's old eyes. Gongsun Yang stared at the young man in black robe standing in the air with a look as if he wanted to eat him.

If looks could kill, Chen Yan would have died countless times by now.

The moment Chen Yan appeared, he immediately focused his attention on Gongsun Yang.

Feeling the powerful aura rising from Gongsun Yang, Chen Yan knew that the skinny old man in black robe in front of him was the one who brought the Ghost Crying Sect to the top, the powerful man who had reached the ninth level of Yin Shen Refinement, and the ancestor of the Ghost Crying Sect!
After a long time, all the emotions on Gongsun Yang's face disappeared, leaving only a bone-chilling coldness. He looked at Chen Yan coldly and said in a cold voice:

"If you were hiding in Jiuzhou, it would take me quite some effort to find you."

"But now that you have come to me, I will give you a ride to comfort the souls of my 30,000 Ghost Crying disciples in heaven!"

Gongsun Yang's voice was hoarse and contained endless murderous intent.

The voice just fell.

"Boom--" The Guiku Sect's mountain protection formation suddenly burst out with a loud noise like muffled thunder.

Immediately afterwards, a pitch-black river as big as the ocean gushed out from the center of the formation.

next second.

The turbid waves emptied out, shaking the heaven and earth, and roared like muffled thunder, which was filled with the roars of countless wronged souls and evil spirits, sweeping towards the young man in black robes.

The Guiku Sect's mountain protection formation was derived from the previous [Ten Thousand Ghosts Sealing Formation], but its effect is more than ten times stronger, and compared to sealing, it is better at attacking.

The Black River is the condensed Yin Vein under the Ghost Howling Peak, and within it are the evil ghosts and souls that have been fed by the Ghost Crying Sect for thousands of years. The Black River, which was bred by countless resentments and evil thoughts, even has one-third of the power of the legendary Yellow Springs.

Relying on the Black River alone, Gongsun Yan, who has reached the ninth level of Yin Shen, has enough confidence to face the attacks of two or even three powerful Yin Shen enemies.

Now, using it on a young man who had just broken through to the Yin God realm, Gongsun Yang not only did not feel it was a pity, he even had murderous intent boiling in his eyes.

Is there anything in the world more pleasing than killing a genius prematurely?

The Black River roared, rushing down from the sky with a momentum of no return. Its force was like a stream of yellow springs coming from the sky. At this moment, the red spirit ship that was over a hundred meters long seemed insignificant.

Looking at the Heihe River getting closer and closer to the young man, Gongsun Yang felt expectant.

Come on, let me see what your trump card is!
the other side.

Looking at the Black River getting closer and closer, Chen Yan's eyes were calm.

"It's strong, but it's not enough."

Looking away, Chen Yan came to the above conclusion.

He did not immediately release the Dragon Sparrow Sword and let it transform into a dragon sparrow. Instead, he planned to first break through the Ghost Crying Sect's mountain protection formation and then hand Gongsun Yang over to the Dragon Sparrow Sword.

The next moment, the Black River roared, huge waves rolled up, and terrifying murderous intent bloomed, covering the sky and drowning Chen Yan.

However, before the disciples of Guiku Sect could get excited, they heard a faint voice coming from the black river:

"cut."

"laugh--"

The blade rubbed against the scabbard and made a sharp sound!
The sound of the sword exploded, resounding in all directions like a dragon's roar!
Boom!

The sound waves exploded like thunder and rolled away, shaking the mountains and forests.

A strong and domineering momentum rises, like the sun rising in the east, blooming with a domineering power that no one can look directly at.

Soon after, the disciples of the Guiku Sect discovered that the overwhelming black river seemed to be split in half by an invisible sword, just like tearing open a huge black curtain.

The Black River broke into two halves.

The figure of the young man in black robe appeared in everyone's sight again. In a trance, everyone in the Guiku Sect seemed to smell an extremely strong smell of blood, and saw mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and flags flying in the setting sun.

It was Gongsun Yan on the top of the mountain. His face suddenly changed after seeing this knife. He stared at the blade in Chen Yan's hand, which was emitting a faint golden light. Faintly, he seemed to see a domineering figure spreading its wings and flying.

Especially after feeling the aura emanating from the blade in Chen Yan's hand, which was even more powerful than his own top-grade Taoist weapon, the Yinsha Ghost Head Knife, Gongsun Yang's face turned ugly, and he almost gritted his teeth and uttered four words:

"The best Taoist weapon!"

Yes.

The best Taoist weapon.

Gongsun Yang never thought about the magic weapon.

Because that is exclusive to immortals.

In Gongsun Yang's opinion, the top-grade Taoist weapon is already the most advanced magical weapon in the Three Thousand Worlds.

That is a treasure that only the powerful Yangshen is worthy of owning and using.

Under the Yang God level, being able to use top-grade Taoist tools is already very powerful.

But Gongsun Yang never expected that the young man in black robe opposite him would have a "top-grade Taoist weapon" in his hand.

In an instant, Gongsun Yang understood how Jiang Li died at the hands of Chen Yan.

It was probably because of the top-grade Taoist weapon in his hand, plus Jiang Li must have been careless at that time, which led to his unexpected death at the hands of Chen Yan.

Understand Chen Yan's trump card.

Gongsun Yang felt a barely perceptible sense of relief.

If it was just a top-grade Taoist weapon, Gongsun Yang would not be afraid.

Yes.

The best Taoist weapon is powerful.

But that depends on who is using it.

How many times can a Yin Shen who has just broken through the stage of spiritual refining and returning to the void use this "top-grade Taoist weapon"?
He only needs to take advantage of the formation, and when Chen Yan is exhausted, he will be like a fish on the chopping board of Gongsun Yang, and his life or death will be decided by him.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Yang couldn't help but sneer.

Just when Gongsun Yang was confident, Chen Yan also made a new move.

Chen Yan did not stop after he cut the fierce Black River in half with one knife.

With a cold look like he was looking at Gongsun Yang who was sneering on the top of the mountain, Chen Yan did not stop and took a step forward!
boom!
Amid the roar, the air waves shook violently, and large pieces of leaves and sand were flying wildly in the strong wind.

In the fierce gale, Chen Yan stomped his feet heavily and then burst out, his clothes fluttering, and he was faster than the wind. With a scorching wave of energy and a blade in hand, he slashed at the Guiku Sect's mountain protection formation!

boom!
Breathing out like thunder, the wind suddenly rises!
How amazing is Chen Yanyu's current physical strength?

The six turns of the Nine Turns Profound Art plus the soon-to-be-completed Dao Fruit, Vajra Indestructibility.

This long sound was like a bolt of thunder, and the vibration was heard for miles. Not to mention a human, even an elephant would be killed if it faced it directly.

As the sound waves echoed, Yang Yu exerted all his energy and blood, his divine power burst forth, and his Vajra Indestructible Blessing, which he infused into the Dragon Sparrow Sword in his hand without any reservation.

All the strength burst out and turned into a domineering sword, taking advantage of the terrain of the cliff to strike down from a high position!

"cut!"

It seemed like a moment, or maybe even shorter. The distance of nearly a hundred feet was covered in the blink of an eye, and the most powerful and domineering sword intent finally arrived.

Then he slashed heavily on the black river barrier that rose up from the Guiku Sect's mountain protection formation.

Boom!

Then, the earth shook!

Like a series of thunderous explosions, the visible shock waves were centered on the place where the blades collided, spreading violently, blowing away broken branches and leaves, and causing violent wind and sand.

The ground shook violently, and large pieces of rubble were blown up into the air, flying in all directions like the most powerful hidden weapon.

The big trees more than ten feet away were blown in half, and countless mud and sand rushed into the sky, like curtains being drawn up.
