Fangxian Heretical Path

Chapter 203 Ghostly Aura and Ghostly Path
Fang Shu gazed at the giant toad in the valley and muttered to himself:

"What a terrifyingly powerful monster it has been raised!"

A surging demonic aura emanated from the giant toad, making it appear incredibly imposing. Judging by the cultivation level of immortals, it was at least a demonic creature that had undergone five tribulations over many years.

Now that so much malevolent energy has gathered, it's possible that they intend to complete the Five Tribulations cultivation in one go, or even break through to the Six Tribulations.

However, Fang Shu felt no fear.

Such man-eating monsters, especially those appearing in the Five Internal Organs Temple area, are usually just wild demons with little inheritance or skill. Even if they have some strange characteristics, he can rely on magic to fight them off.

Immediately, Fang Shu affixed protective talismans to his body, and a layer of water-like spiritual light surged around him. Without fear, he rushed forward to subdue the giant toad.

With a loud thud, like the beating of a drum.

As he approached, the giant toad suddenly opened its eyes and stared intently at Fang Shu. Upon seeing this, Fang Shu frowned slightly.

Because of the giant toad's gaze, its eyes were numb, not at all like a demon lying dead on both banks, but rather like a beast of burden exploited by humans.

However, Fang Shu did not change his behavior because of this strangeness. When the other party noticed him, he suddenly swayed and disappeared from the other party's sight.

With the invisibility spell activated, Fang Shu quickly rushed towards the valley.

The giant toad, along with all the toads on the ground, were bewildered, their eyes darting around aimlessly.

In just a few breaths, Fang Shu ran into the valley. When he was still a hundred paces away from the giant toad, he no longer needed to get closer. With a flick of his sleeve, several talismans flew out and struck the giant toad head-on.

The talisman transformed into specks of green fire in mid-air, named Ghost Fire Yin Talisman. It split into two, then into three, forming a fire net that covered the giant toad without leaving any blind spots.

Hiss! The giant toad moved its eyes, staring at the approaching net of ghostly fire, its gaze still numb, making no other move.

However, a powerful aura of malevolence surged forth, transforming into countless ghostly faces that roared forth, uttering various shrill demonic cries:

"I died a terrible death!" "My parents were killed, my wife died, and my young son died a violent death. I hate it all!!"

The two clashed, and the malevolent energy and ghostly fire intertwined, creating light and color that varied in brightness.

Its exposed bones actually made it look somewhat beautiful.

Seeing that the giant toad was still moving slowly, Fang Shu had an idea. He immediately moved forward even further, and several more talismans appeared in his sleeve.

These talismans flew out with a clang, transforming into seven paper knives, each made of five-level material, capable of cutting through metal as easily as slicing tofu.

Driven by him, seven paper knives circled around him, swirling and dancing. As he approached again, they cleaved through the malevolent energy, intending to chop the giant toad into mincemeat.

But that's it.

Several gloomy ghostly energies suddenly burst forth from behind the giant toad, intertwining into chains. Each chain possessed a dense, malevolent aura of the fifth level of tribulation, and they hurtled straight toward Fang Shu, either upwards or downwards.

These few wisps of ghostly energy are different from the scattered malevolent energy and vengeful spirits around us; they are real magical artifacts.

It is truly unexpected that a demon could control such an exquisite magical artifact and release it from ambush.

But Fang Shu was not surprised at all by this scene.

"This is what I've been waiting for!"

Instead of retreating, he advanced, slightly shaking his head. The Hundred Gu Banner on the back of his head trembled, and Gu worms flew out, swirling around him and tightly surrounding him.

In the blink of an eye, it was as if he was draped in a garment woven from Gu worms. The ghostly energy that rushed towards him was immediately devoured by the Gu worms.

A cold shout rang out from within the Gu worm: "Go!"

rustle!

Countless worms flew out, turning around and surrounding the source of the ghostly energy.

Soon, a scream rang out from behind the giant toad.

Upon seeing this, Fang Shu raised his eyebrows slightly. He immediately began chanting incantations, took the banner pole from his hair bun, held it in his hand, and began to perform the ritualistic steps on the pile of white bones, completely ignoring the giant toad beside him.

The furious voices grew louder and louder behind the giant toad.

The being that unleashed the ghostly energy seemed to be greatly troubled by the Gu worms. Fortunately, after about ten breaths, the trouble ended.

Fang Shu shouted, "Shoot!"

An array woven from Gu worms spread out and took shape on the spot, covering an area of ​​a hundred paces in radius, suppressing all the energy.

The dense resentment all around also dissipated as quickly as ice and snow, revealing the dilapidated scene.

A gaunt Taoist figure finally appeared behind the giant toad.

Behind the giant toad, there was a festering wound, and the man sat cross-legged in the hollow of its flesh. He had a sinister aura and a fierce face, and he held a magical artifact made of Yi Chuan's white bones.

Now that their identities were fully exposed, the other party looked surprised and suspicious, their murderous aura surging, as if they still wanted to do something.

However, a powerful aura immediately pressed down, causing fear to fill the man's eyes, and he could only manage to utter one word with difficulty: "Foundation Establishment Talisman!?"

Fang Shu looked at the man, then glanced around, his divine sense spreading out to confirm that there were no other hiding people. Only then did he slowly shake his head and utter a word with a smile: "No."

He immediately wanted to capture the man and interrogate him about his origins, how he dared to do such a sinister thing in the territory of the Five Organs Temple, and whether he came from the Dry Bone Temple.
As a result, when he raised his hand and his magical power surged, the sinister immortal's eyes suddenly turned fierce.

The other party immediately bit off his own tongue and spat out blood.

The essence of blood burned like fire, engulfing it in flames, trying to break free from the suppression of the magical artifact, but it failed.

Amidst the blood and fire, the fang's expression shifted again. Suddenly, it abandoned its physical body, and a soul leaped out of it, transforming into a ghostly face, and rushed towards the outside of the valley.

Upon seeing this, Fang Shu finally showed surprise: "A Ghost Dao Immortal?"

Immediately afterward, a mocking smile appeared on his face, mingling with surprise.

He gently shook the flagpole in his hand, and a suppressive force landed on the other party's soul, instantly imprisoning the soul in place, unable to move even an inch.

At this moment, the surrounding Gu worms also rose up, completely revealing the formation he had set up. Their imposing aura shone brightly in the eyes of the opponent.

The ghost immortal immediately realized that he was not only being controlled by the pressure of the magic weapon, but had already fallen into the formation, like a flying insect caught in a spider web, and that any further struggle would be useless.

A look of despair appeared on the ghost's face, distorting its features.

What terrified it even more was that, with a snap, its body was struck by Fang Shu's finger. Without uttering a single word, it was instantly reduced to a bloody mist, beyond any hope of survival.
