He's alone, but he's a tomb raider!

Ao Bai let out a deep, muffled roar, and his century-old corpse aura surged forth, suppressing the sword spirit with his overwhelming malevolent energy.

After only three breaths of agitation, the previously frenzied Hirumaru instantly calmed down.

The gleaming blade's spiritual light subsided, dispelling all its malevolent energy.

Although it couldn't be considered to have recognized a master, it couldn't cause any trouble in Ao Bai's hands.

From then on, the demon sword Hirumaru changed hands with Ao Bai!

With the peerless weapon in hand, Ao Bai's aura surged once again, becoming even more domineering and ferocious than when he wielded the Hundred Battles Blood Fiend Blade.

With his gilded body and the demon sword Hirumaru, he is both offensive and defensive, and his whole being is like an ancient ferocious god emerging from the earth.

He turned his head sharply, his bloodshot eyes sweeping over Qin Yun, who was watching from above, his eyes filled with chilling killing intent.

The moment he saw Qin Yun, the humiliation of being pierced by lightning and forced to flee in a sorry state surged into his heart.

Ao Bai originally wanted to rush forward immediately and fight Qin Yun again, so as to regain the face of the First Baturu.

However, before Ao Bai could make a move, Gao Lian and the other two had already blocked his way.

One demonic sword was already troublesome enough, but unexpectedly, a zombie suddenly appeared, and things are almost in complete chaos.

"Brother Gao, what do we do now?"

Stroking his large head, Deng Youcai was also at a loss, not knowing what to do.

Although the zombie in front of him looked difficult to deal with, considering the danger posed by the demon sword Hirumaru, Gao Lian had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it, even if it was dangerous.

After all, he is the top person in charge of the Northeast region!

"No matter what, the demon sword must be kept!"

I've already called for backup; all we need to do is hold him off!

Unlike Gao Lian and the other two, Ao Bai knew that Qin Yun was up there, so he didn't bother arguing with them.

With a sweep of his demonic blade, crimson sword energy swept across the surroundings as Ao Bai coldly shouted.

"Those who block my way, die!"

"Stop him!"

Gao Lian took the lead and charged ahead of Ao Bai.

"Interesting. Since you're so ungrateful, I'll kill you ants first, and then deal with that person!"

Having said that, Ao Bai stepped forward and launched a fierce attack with his sword!

The Hirumaru Demon Sword, combined with the immense strength gained from external training, carries the power to split mountains and shatter rocks with every strike.

Moreover, unless it is a defensive technique, ordinary Qi shields are practically useless against Hirumaru's sword aura.

Gao Lian led the attack, while the Deng brothers provided cover on the flanks.

It was supposed to be the most cost-effective gauntlet match, but after only three or five rounds, the three of them turned pale and their blood was churning.

The difference is obvious!

The fighting power of the ferocious corpse in front of them was simply beyond their ability to contend with.

"Brother Gao, this damn thing is too sharp, I can't stop it!" Deng Youcai roared through gritted teeth.

This time, before Gao Lian could give the order, unlike his younger brother's honesty, Deng Youfu directly formed a hand seal, first stomped his feet on the ground several times, and then frantically shook his head.

"Young Deng, a third-generation disciple, is truly blessed! Please, Master Liu...possess me!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a visible black aura emanated from Deng Youfu's body—no, to be precise, it should be called demonic aura.

The cool, serene atmosphere in the tomb suddenly became chaotic, as if some extraordinary being was about to descend. The temperature in the already chilly underground base plummeted by more than ten degrees Celsius.

With each breath, white mist could even be exhaled!

Looking at Deng Youfu again, his body stopped trembling and instead became calmer than ever before.

His eyes turned into crimson vertical pupils, and a black demonic aura surged around him, drastically changing his appearance and demeanor.

This is exactly what Liu Kunsheng, the immortal from Changbai Mountain, looked like when he possessed him!

Seeing that someone had started a group, the other two no longer took it lightly.

A gray mist swirled around Deng Youcai, and the spiritual energy of the earth surged and converged, his heavy and steady earth immortal aura sweeping across the entire area.

Grandpa Hui from outside the pass, Hui San, possessed him!

Gao Lian cried out to the heavens, and as a powerful aura descended, his appearance began to change in the direction of an animal.

Hu Tianbiao, a second-generation disciple of the Hu family, possesses the body!

In the blink of an eye, facing the ferocious Ao Bai, they actually put on the formation of three immortals descending upon them!

"That little bastard Youfu, in the Northeast, who wouldn't give me face? It's one thing to borrow my strength, but he actually asked me to possess him."

Looks like he's not strong enough; he still needs to train. He'll get what's coming to him when we get back this time!

"Brother Liu, don't be careless, this place seems a bit unsettled!"

"Yes, Uncle Liu, my men are quite capable, yet even he couldn't handle them. It seems we've encountered a tricky situation!"

Following Hui San, Hu Tianbiao, who had been promoted to a high-ranking official, also pleaded for the three younger ones.

……

However... such a spirit, even if it is only inhabiting a mortal body and cannot be present in person.

Yet it still possessed a top-tier aura far surpassing that of ordinary superhumans, even suppressing the Yin energy in the entire underground hall by a significant amount.

Standing on the high ground, Liu Yanyan watched intently, her face filled with curiosity and awe, and couldn't help but ask a question.

"Boss, is this what it means to come from Northeast China?"

I had only heard my grandfather mention it once before, but I had never seen it with my own eyes.

"This looks incredibly powerful! Who are these immortals?"

Qin Yun calmly observed the battle below.

"The Northeast shamanic practice is a unique system of supernatural beings in Northeast China, forming its own distinct lineage."

"It is rare for animals to obtain Qi, but because of their pure and simple nature, once they obtain Qi, their cultivation speed is much faster than that of humans."

The five great immortals known in folklore as "Hu, Huang, Bai, Liu, and Hui" are five animals that, after obtaining Qi, rely on the spiritual energy of mountains and rivers to cultivate themselves. They belong to the category of mountain spirits and earth deities.

What you're cultivating is merit, and what you're building is good karma with both humans and horses!

"The so-called 'going into the spirit world' means that a mortal disciple establishes a shrine and makes a contract, using his own body as a medium to invite the spirits to possess him to fight, pray for blessings, exorcise evil, and eliminate disasters and ward off evil spirits."

The disciple is a human or horse, and the immortal is the superior; they share opportunities and each takes what they need.

In Northeast China, such beings are also known as "Guardian Spirits."

After briefly explaining his methods, Qin Yun raised his finger and pointed to the three people below.

"The one on Deng Youfu's body should be Liu Kunsheng, the Great Immortal of the Liu Family who cultivates in Changbai Mountain."

His cultivation was unfathomable; he had been entrenched outside the pass for a century, and his reputation was extremely high.

Hui San is a veteran Earth Immortal of the Hui family outside the pass. Although he is not good at fighting, among the five families, Liu Xian and Hui Xian have the best relationship. They cooperate tacitly and can be considered as sworn brothers.

Once a fight breaks out, the result can be greater than the sum of its parts!

Liu Xian is a snake, or rather a venomous snake, while pythons belong to the Chang family.

As for Grey Fairy, her true form is a rat.

Logically speaking, snakes and rats should be natural enemies, but due to some past events, when Liu Xian was injured, Hui Xian saved his life.

Then, Liu Xian spread the word that wherever there was a branch of the Liu family in the Changbai Mountain region, there was a piece of land belonging to the Hui family.

This is what the proverb means by "a den of snakes and rats"!

When the two join forces, they become one of the most powerful combatants among the Five Immortals.

As for the one Gao Lian invited...

Hu Tianbiao is a member of the "Tian" generation in the Hu family.

Looking at the entire Hu family, apart from Hu San Tai Nai Nai, the eldest is the Tian generation.

A look of realization dawned on Liu Yanyan's eyes. No wonder these three were so confident; they had actually invited a real mountain immortal.

But the next second, the battle turned around, shattering everyone's expectations.

Possessed by three immortals, his power was overwhelming.

Demonic energy and the power of the mortal immortals intertwined, locking tightly onto Ao Bai.

Liu Kunsheng, a cunning and ruthless snake spirit, specializes in exploiting flaws in corpses.

The power of the three Earth Immortals is profound and concentrated, capable of suppressing evil spirits and sealing away malevolent forces.

Hu Tianbiao, on the other hand, moved with agility, specifically targeting Liu Kunsheng's weaknesses and focusing his attacks on Ao Bai's most vulnerable spots.

Of these three immortals, Liu Kunsheng and Hui San were only disgusting enough to be slapped once each, but Hu Tianbiao deserved to be slapped hard across the face.

There's no way around it, it's just too unrefined!
