Ziwei Immortal Path

Chapter 48 There’s a ghost!

The man in brown was surprised that someone recognized him in Longmenjian of Qingxuan Town. His face was moved and his brows furrowed, but the man who came was just an ordinary man, about forty or fifty years old, with a very unfamiliar face. For a moment, he couldn't remember where he had seen this man before, and felt a little confused.

Xu Shaohua sneered and said:
"Steward Zhao is truly a forgetful man. Seven years ago, I came to your house to do my accounts and even had a meal with you. I guess you were too busy flattering me and taking care of my master, Kong Deli, to bother with a mere mortal like me."

The man in brown clothes laughed loudly and said:

"You are quite an interesting old man. You even want to scare me with Kong Deli. Now that everyone is not here to build their foundation, I dare to stand here today, because there is no way out!"

"I don't care if you're Kong Deli or Kong Zhonghai! If my family can't deliver on the Immortal Sect's orders, I'll die wherever I go! The Qingshen families are robbing each other, and when has the Immortal Sect ever intervened?"

"Now that you two have fallen into my hands and my identity has been exposed, I'm sorry, I can't keep your bodies intact. Chop them up and feed them to the fish!"

"Do it!"

Zhao Jiuchang shouted loudly, and all the figures on the flying boat flashed frequently, like birds returning to the forest, like big fish returning to the sea, and even better than tigers returning to the mountains.

In an instant, shadows appeared in the valley. Eight or nine people jumped up from the high ground, and more than a dozen people rushed over from the flat ground. A dozen people came from the low ground on flying boats, all waving various weapons and rushing towards them from above, middle and below!

"Buzz!"

A loud bang!
A light red curtain of light appeared around the black-sailed boat, shaped like a huge red light ball, wrapping the boat tightly. Not only that, it also frightened the attacking monks and made them retreat.

"'Vermilion Wall Protection Talisman Formation'?"

Zhao Jiuchang grinned, jumped up, and came from the front treading water with the golden hammer on his back.

"It's just a Condensation Stage talisman array, how can it stop me?"

Seeing Zhao Jiuchang's sudden action without regard for the consequences, Kong Zhuoli was horrified. He knew that today would be a life-and-death battle, but he still refused to admit defeat. He snorted coldly and said,
"Humph! It's more than enough to stop your bunch of minions!"

As expected, the more than 40 people brought by Zhao Jiuchang were all blocked by the "Vermilion Wall Protective Talisman Array". However, after everyone was shocked back, they did not dare to stop. Each of them showed off their unique skills. Those who knew magic began to use it, and those who did not knew magic simply started to chop and slash with swords and knives, one after another, attacking the light array.

Suddenly, red light appeared everywhere and there was a loud noise.

Xu Shaohua was frightened and hurried back to the tent to protect his children with his arms. Kong Boxiao and Kong Boen had already woken up by then. Their faces were pale and they looked around in panic.

Xu Shaohua was just an ordinary man, powerless and had no idea how to deal with the situation. The family of three huddled in the black tent, shivering and terrified, like lambs to be slaughtered.

"Haha! You're resisting stubbornly, fighting like a trapped beast! Young man of the Kong family, you're only at the sixth level of Condensation Yuan. If you had the 'Vermilion Mang Guarding Talisman Formation' of the Foundation Establishment stage, you might have a glimmer of hope. It's a pity you're not capable enough!"

Zhao Jiuchang strode over, walking on the river surface as if it were flat ground. In the blink of an eye, he rushed over, shot up, and leaped into the air. He raised his hands high above his head, and the golden hammer in his hand immediately emitted golden flames. He shouted loudly:

"Hit me!"

Kong Zhuoli looked up and immediately felt a sudden sensation of a strong wind blowing in his face through the light array. The huge airflow blew on the light array, making a hissing sound.

The golden hammer in Zhao Jiuchang's hand was like a setting sun, shining brightly, smashing down with overwhelming force!

With this hammer, it seemed as if everything in the world would be smashed to pieces!
How could Kong Zhuoli let him succeed? He gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and then jumped out of the battle. The long sword at his waist broke through the sky, and a cinnabar-colored blade light rose with the long sword!

"Good boy! So brave! How dare you take my hammer!"

Zhao Jiuchang laughed loudly, and without a moment's hesitation, he smashed down towards the blade!

In an instant, in the valley, in the twilight of evening, a powerful golden hammer faced a long sword as brilliant as clouds, just like the setting sun meeting the last ray of sunset.

The sunset plunges everything into darkness, and the sunset glow is ultimately dim and dull!
"Boom!"

A golden and red spiritual energy bloomed in the air above the valley!
Kong Zhuoli couldn't bear the huge force, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His whole body seemed to be falling apart, and his body flew out at an angle and slammed heavily on the stone wall of the valley. The stone wall collapsed with a loud bang, and stones flew in all directions, falling down like hail!
One move and the winner is decided!

Seeing Zhao Jiuchang defeat the enemy with one move, the group of young cultivators below all cheered and applauded. They were completely unaware of an agile figure quietly approaching under the river!
This person was none other than Xu Boyang who was hiding under the water!

Xu Boyang approached silently, and seeing the brown-clothed big man Zhao Jiuchang holding a sledgehammer and possessing astonishing brute force, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​a sneak attack and changed his strategy, planning to get rid of these minions first. Otherwise, with so many people, the talisman formation would not be able to hold on sooner or later, and by then Xu Shaohua and the people in the black boat would inevitably be in extremely dangerous situation.

Anyone who enters the battle formation can easily kill the three people on the boat.

This will only hinder!
When he saw Xu Shaohua suddenly appear on the boat, he was shocked. Without thinking too much, he hurriedly stepped on the golden light and rushed over. However, the two were not close to each other. When he got nearby, Zhao Jiuchang and Kong Zhuoli had already started fighting.

Although he hadn't gotten close yet, a quick glance and he already knew that the man with the sledgehammer was so powerful that he could dominate the scene. The man with the knife was probably no match for him, but he could still give him a little fight.

Without any hesitation, he extended his spiritual consciousness, aimed at a young cultivator at the third level of Condensation Yuan, and rushed over at high speed under the water like a fish!
Kong Zhuoli tried his best to block Zhao Jiuchang's full-strength attack. His eyes turned black and his chest was burning. He knew that he had suffered serious internal injuries. A crack appeared two feet away on the Ningyuan magic weapon [Red Flame Sword] in his hand!
But he saw that he was gathering strength again and preparing to smash the talisman formation angrily. He endured the severe pain, pushed himself up with one hand, and flew out from the stone wall.

He pinched out a "Green Vine Talisman" of the Condensation Period with his left hand and slapped it out with one palm!
The cinnabar-colored blade in his right hand shot out again, and the blade, as fast as a strong wind, chopped directly towards his head!
The "Green Vine Talisman" burned out in an instant, and the water surface in front of him exploded. Four or five green vines as thick as wrists broke out of the water, like octopus tentacles, baring their fangs and claws and grabbing towards Zhao Jiuchang!
"Hmph! A little trick!"

Seeing Kong Zhuoli attacking from both sides, Zhao Jiuchang had to hold back and fight back. He raised the golden hammer, which blew up a gust of golden flame wind to block the long sword that was breaking through the air. Then he saw the green vines attacking him in a disorderly manner, but he was not in a hurry and stretched out his hand to slap out a "Golden Bell Talisman".

"Buzz!"

A bell rings!
In mid-air, a pale golden bell-shaped light shield appeared, covering him appropriately.

Those flying green vines hit the golden bell four or five times, and the bell rang out loudly, like the morning bells and evening drums in the mountains, with a melodious echo!
The two men touched each other in the air as fast as lightning, and separated immediately. Each of them used the "Living in the Water Technique" to stand on the water surface. No matter how fast the river water was rushing under their feet, they could not move at all.

Zhao Jiuchang had never expected that Kong Zhuoli could withstand his hammer and still have the strength to fight back. He had underestimated him before. He sneered and was about to attack again when he suddenly felt something was wrong. He glanced sideways and found that the flying boat on his side was toppling over and was in chaos.

The situation was chaotic and shouts were heard everywhere!
The monks standing on the flying boats all stopped attacking the "Vermillion Wall Protection Talisman Formation" at the same time, fighting on their own in chaos, all looking at the water in fear.

One person was trembling with fear and said:
"Ghost! There's a ghost underwater!"

As soon as the words fell, someone shouted, "Ouch!" "Crash!"

Just hear the sound of water!
Everyone turned around and saw that a person on the flying boat had disappeared out of thin air in full view of everyone!

Creepy!

Just as everyone turned their heads!

"Wow!"

Listen to the sound of water again!
Another person disappeared without a trace before he could even say a word!
At this moment, the sun has set and the sky has become completely dark. Without the reflection of light, the river water appears dark green and a little eerie.

But in a moment, the sound of splashing water rose and fell from the east to the west, one after another. Suddenly, seven or eight of the young cultivators on the flying boat disappeared, but the river was still surging and gurgling.

"There's a ghost! There really is a ghost!"

The remaining cultivators were trembling with fear and had lost their composure. They paced back and forth on the flying boat with weapons in their hands, looking extremely panicked.

Except for ten people who are descendants of the Zhao family in Qinghui Town, the vast majority of the rest are independent cultivators who make a living in the ghost market of Qinghui Town. They all followed Zhao Jiuchang to make money by promising him huge profits.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Feng failed to win the battle and lost his life.

Zhao Jiuchang was originally the manager of the Zhao family's ghost market in Qinghui Town. As the eldest son of the Zhao family, he should have held great power. However, his father doted on his concubine Jiang and his father also doted on the concubine's youngest son, Zhao Jiusheng. Zhao Jiuchang had worked hard over the years, but was instead neglected, so he harbored resentment for many years.

Fortunately, God was merciful. Half a year ago, his father died outside. The Xun family came and handed Qinghui Town to him. How could he not be ecstatic? The first thing he did was to kill the entire family of his father's concubine Jiang. It was a pity that Zhao Jiusheng got the news in advance and slipped away overnight.

And the worst thing was that the guy actually took away the Lingxizi that had been prepared at home!
Yuchuan is so big, no one knew where this brat had taken the person. Zhao Jiuchang was angry and anxious. Later, after checking the clues and asking around, he found out that this little thief was hiding in the Wang family in the neighboring Qingxuan Town!

Zhao Jiuchang was a reckless person to begin with. Now that he was in charge of the household, he had learned that the foundation-building cultivators from various families were away. Upon hearing the news, he was furious and immediately mobilized a large number of people. He selected the sons from his family and invited people from the ghost market to come to Qingxuan Town to cause trouble for the Wang family, fight with them, and take back his own Lingxizi.

But who would have thought that halfway through, they unexpectedly discovered a boat that was delivering Lingxizi from an unknown company, and it was escorted by only one monk.

He immediately became malicious!

He followed quietly along the Tangchuan River and finally found out that it was someone from the Kong family!

It's even more itchy!
The Kong and Zhao families are both branches of the Xun family. Originally, the older generations had a good relationship with each other, but ever since Kong Zhonghai took over the family, they relied on their close relationship with the Xun family, considered themselves noble, and looked down on Zhao Jiuchang.

Not long ago, Zhao Jiuchang went to the Kong family to inquire about the whereabouts of Zhao Jiusheng, but was ridiculed by Kong Zhonghai with a fake smile, which made him very angry and secretly resentful.

Now that a piece of fat meat was right before his eyes, he remembered Kong Zhonghai's contemptuous look and hated him so much that he decided to just go all out and rob him, to avenge Kong Zhonghai's contempt that day!

Anyway, in the territory of Qingxuan Town, he just robbed and ran away, and no one knew it was his doing.

If the Kong family investigates in the future, they will have to go to the Fang family in Qingxuan Town, otherwise they will not be able to find the cause.

But I never thought that I would be recognized.

In this case, he must be killed even if he doesn’t want to!
Only by cutting the roots can we leave no trace!

"what happened?"

Zhao Jiuchang was shocked and immediately sent out his spiritual sense, only to suddenly discover a black shadow under the water, swimming rapidly under the water like a fish!
Suddenly I was furious:
"Good boy, no wonder you are so confident, it turns out there are helpers under the water!"

Kong Zhuoli knew that death was the only option, and he had already made up his mind to fight to the end. But at this moment, the situation suddenly changed in an unexpected way, which was quite strange.

His spiritual awareness range was not large, and he could only feel that there was something under the water, but he could not determine what it was. However, it was a friend after all, not an enemy, and he immediately felt more confident.

For a moment, both sides remained motionless, concentrating and holding their breath, all their attention drawn to Xu Boyang under the water.

"Surround him first!"

Zhao Jiuchang pointed at Kong Zhuoli with his big hand, shouted angrily, performed a "water-avoidance spell", and dived into the river to find the person who was pretending to be a ghost and making trouble.

When Kong Zhuoli saw Zhao Jiuchang dive into the water, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately jumped back to the front of the boat, took out a "Rejuvenation Pill" from the storage bag and swallowed it. He held the sword in one hand and glared at everyone.

The young cultivators had just been frightened by Xu Boyang, and were still in fear. Although they gradually surrounded him, they did not dare to attack. Many of them kept their eyes on the water, fearing that the underwater monster would jump out and kill people again.

Xu Boyang held the "Silver Light Technique" in his hand, and took advantage of the situation, moving east and west as fast as lightning. In an instant, the small repairmen on the boat were thrown into chaos by him and unable to take care of themselves. He took advantage of the chaos to drag them into the water, and with a flick of his hand, he killed seven or eight people in a moment.

Suddenly, his spiritual consciousness became alert. He heard the water flow behind him ripple and immediately realized that someone was trying to avoid the water.

Before he could react, a strong and powerful scorching energy broke through the water!

Xu Boyang took out a "Golden Bell Talisman" and sent it out!

The talisman paper was not affected at all underwater and continued to burn. In an instant, it turned into a huge golden bell light shield blocking the two of them!

"Oh!"

The golden bell shattered into pieces, turned into golden powder, and disappeared without a trace, and the river water exploded with a splash three feet high!

Everyone on the river was so shocked that they looked at each other in surprise!
"Another cultivator at the sixth level of Condensation Yuan!"

Zhao Jiuchang saw that the man under the water was a young man wearing a white robe and with a stern appearance. He used his spiritual sense to probe and discovered his cultivation level. He was secretly shocked, but not too surprised.

He was only one step away from building his foundation at this time, and he thought that defeating these two people would be a piece of cake. Seeing that this person had slapped out a "Golden Bell Talisman" to defend against the golden flames emitted by his [Flame Gold Hammer], he thought that he might be a cultivator from the Kong family who was escorting Lingxizi. Without thinking too much, he slapped out a "Divine Movement Technique" and jumped up!
I was suddenly notified that the book was available, which was a bit confusing. I had planned to update more when it was available, but things got a lot more busy at the end of the year, so I had less time to write. I'm really sorry, but I hope those who like it will give me a first order! Thank you everyone!
