Chapter 133: Chapter 136 Ghost General
Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Six
"Damn it, the kid actually used poison!"
The black-robed Taoist felt his body weaken and hurriedly used his True Qi to force out the poison.
But the poison was so strong that the black-robed Taoist actually struggled to expel it.
Moreover, at this time, Long Xiaoshan had already pounced over, channeling his True Qi and throwing a punch with a booming sound that demonstrated its power.
The sound of tearing through the air showed the strength of this punch.
The black-robed Taoist quickly raised his sword to stab, the sword light flickering, and at that moment, Long Xiaoshan clearly felt the sword's weakness.
He threw a punch.
Thud!
The black-robed Taoist spat out a mouthful of blood.
Weakened by the poison, the black-robed Taoist's strength was insufficient; Long Xiaoshan broke through his swordsmanship with a punch, hitting him in the chest and causing a heavy injury.
Long Xiaoshan didn't let up when he had the advantage.
Charging again, he threw another punch. Chapter Read:
The poisoned and injured black-robed Taoist had his sword knocked away by Long Xiaoshan's second strike.
He staggered backward, nearly falling to the ground.
Seeing Long Xiaoshan continue to advance.
The black-robed Taoist quickly said, "Kid, stop, I admit defeat this time, take the person and go."
"Are you stupid? You want to kill me just like that, and when you can't beat me, you say stop? Dream on," Long Xiaoshan scoffed and threw a punch.
"Don't push me!"
The black-robed Taoist spat out a mouthful of essence blood onto the Black Flag, his face twisted as he muttered a few phrases, and suddenly the Black Flag expanded considerably, followed by a puff of black fog flying out. This black fog twisted and gradually formed an Evil Ghost wielding a knife.
This Evil Ghost was different from the ones that had appeared before.
The previous Evil Ghosts were clearly disoriented and had an air of ferocity.
But this Evil Ghost, dressed in the uniform of a Qing Dynasty general and, though grim-faced, did not seem confused, with green eyes that appeared to possess a Spiritual Nature.
At the same time, it also emitted a strong aura.
Long Xiaoshan felt very endangered.
He stopped his attack and stared at the Ghost General.
"Kill him," the black-robed Taoist shouted at the Ghost General.
Unexpectedly, the Ghost General didn't move, just standing there with an indifferent gaze.
"Damn it."
The black-robed Taoist knew that the stronger the Ghost General got, the less he was under his control.
It was a complete accident that he had captured it into the Hundred Ghosts Banner.
Otherwise, such a hundred-year-old ghost was not something his insignificant Mana could manipulate.
At this moment, the black-robed Taoist grimaced with pain as he pulled something out from his chest and said, "If you kill him, this Yin Crystal Stone is yours."
He held a black crystal stone in his hand, which was emitting Ghostly Yin Energy.
Gazing at that crystal stone, the Ghost General's eye flame finally stirred, showing interest. He turned his head, staring at Long Xiaoshan, and suddenly stepped forward, slashing down at Long Xiaoshan.
Ghost Qi howled, and the knife energy surged.
A slash from the Ghost General.
Even more terrifying than the black-robed Taoist's Big Dipper Sword Technique.
Long Xiaoshan's face turned to shock, and he hurriedly threw out the last few of his Fireball Talismans.
Boom boom!
The ghost knife slashed onto the fireballs but actually cut through them.
Whoosh!
Another knife slash came.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Long Xiaoshan quickly rolled away, dodging to the side.
Instantly, a cut several meters long appeared on the ground.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Continual slashing from the Ghost Knife!
With nowhere to evade, Long Xiaoshan was cut on his body; several Vajra Talismans on him exploded at the same time, and he spat out blood before crashing heavily into the rock wall.
The black-robed Taoist's face contorted, and he laughed loudly, "Kill, kill him."
Just when the Ghost General's knife was about to chop down on Long Xiaoshan's head.
That knife suddenly paused in mid-air.
The black-robed Taoist urged frantically, "Kill, why aren't you killing him? Hurry up and kill him."
The Ghost General's eyes blazed with green fire.
At this moment, Long Xiaoshan was holding up a black Dan Pellet in his hand.
Inside, it emitted strong pulses of Ghost Qi, far surpassing the Yin Crystal Stone that the Black-robed Taoist had in his possession.
"Elixir Pills," the Ghost General uttered two obscure words.
"Yes, this is the Yin Yuan Pill, which contains powerful pure Yin energy. I can give it to you," Long Xiaoshan said, while behind him, cold sweat broke out and his heart pounded furiously.
Now, he was completely taking a risk.
He had seen the Black-robed Taoist produce a crystal stone, which had stirred the Ghost General into action.
It made him realize that the Ghost General was not something the Black-robed Taoist could command at will.
Moreover, he had seen
that the Ghost General's power was considerably stronger than that of the Black-robed Taoist.
The Yin Crystal Stone the Black-robed Taoist had taken out contained powerful Ghost Qi,
which must be helpful for the cultivation of ghost creatures.
That's what caused the Ghost General to make a move.
In a moment of desperation, he thought of the three Yin Yuan Pills he had made last time. He had given one to Long Shiyu to consume and had two left; those were made from the body of a Mountain Demon and contained pure Yin energy, which was a true Elixir Pill, much purer and more powerful than the Ghost Qi contained in the Yin Crystal Stone.
So he took a gamble.
He brought out the Yin Yuan Pill.
He bet that the allure of the Yin Yuan Pill to the Ghost General would be greater than that of the Yin Crystal Stone.
Time seemed to freeze.
"Conditions?" After a long pause, the Ghost General spoke again.
Long Xiaoshan was overjoyed inside.
His bet had paid off.
Indeed, his Yin Yuan Pill had tempted the Ghost General.
And when the Black-robed Taoist saw this scene, his face changed drastically, and he yelled, "Yue Ling, what are you trying to do?"
The Ghost General ignored him as if he hadn't heard anything.
"Ah, damn it!" The Black-robed Taoist picked up the Hundred Ghosts Banner and poured his blood into it fervently, while continuously chanting spells.
Pain appeared on the Ghost General's face.
His body also showed signs of disintegration.
Naturally, Long Xiaoshan could tell that the Hundred Ghosts Banner was a Magic Artifact, capable of restraining the Ghost General.
However, the Ghost General was powerful; even as the Black-robed Taoist's face turned pale from expelling his lifeblood, the Ghost General still persisted without moving.
Moved by a thought, Long Xiaoshan threw the Yin Yuan Pill to the Ghost General, saying, "Take it."
The Ghost General caught the Yin Yuan Pill in one hand and immediately swallowed it.
Boom!
As the potent pure Yin energy surged into the Ghost General's body, his form suddenly burst open, with a great mass of black fog billowing out. Long Xiaoshan was startled—perhaps the Ghost General hadn't survived.
Just as he was thinking,
The black fog churned, then began to condense again.
This time, the reconstructed Ghost General had a somewhat less eerie and more human-like appearance. This time, the Ghost General looked at Long Xiaoshan with a hint of gratitude in his eyes and said, "Thank you."
His words were clearer than before, not as obscure as before.
After speaking, he moved toward the Black-robed Taoist, raising his broad knife over his head.
"Yue Ling, you, you, stop right there,"
cried the Black-robed Taoist in panic, wildly waving the Hundred Ghosts Banner, in a vain attempt to control the Ghost General.
However, the Ghost General, having broken through, was no longer bound by the Hundred Ghosts Banner.
He stepped forward swiftly and swung his knife.
Black light from the blade flashed like an illusion.
Puff!
The Black-robed Taoist's head flew off.
After slaying the Black-robed Taoist,
the Ghost General planted his broad knife in the ground, majestic and imposing as if a fierce ancient general had been reborn.
The scattered Evil Ghosts from inside the Hundred Ghosts Banner all panicked and prostrated themselves on the ground, as if worshipping the Ghost General.
Long Xiaoshan was awed by the sight.
This Ghost General was no ordinary being.
The Longevity True Qi surged within him, healing the injuries he had sustained. He quickly got up and ran to Shen Yuerong, who was bound at the edge of the cave. Shen Yuerong's face was deathly pale, her eyes tightly closed, and she was clearly wounded by the Ghostly Yin Energy.
