Chapter 158 Soul-Destroying Nail! Battle with the Ghost-Eyed Boy!
"The soul and spirit are in the same contract, the ghost of the underworld is giving orders!"
"The evil ghost of the nail swamp, come out!"
The ghost-eyed boy shouted softly, and his hands kept making seals, and then a strange light emanated from him.
The ghost tattooed on the chest of the ghost-eyed boy seemed to come alive and gradually peeled off from his skin.
This ghost looked only as tall as an adult woman, wearing a white dress, but his long hair was scattered like a muddy swamp.
On its body, there were dozens of long nails about a foot long, which looked even more creepy.
Lin Chen frowned slightly when he saw this.
"The evil ghost of the nail swamp? Judging from this aura... it seems to have the cultivation of the fifth or sixth turn of the golden elixir..."
Lin Chen controlled the flying sword while looking at the evil ghost of the nail swamp.
This is one of the most disgusting things about ghost cultivation.
Not only does the ghost cultivator have cultivation, but the evil ghost he summoned by contract is also extremely terrifying.
Especially, the ghost of the ghost cultivator's life!
Even more powerful than the ghost cultivator's body...
"However, this Ding Marsh evil ghost alone is far from defeating me..."
Lin Chen smiled contemptuously, and then summoned the black knife again.
Demon Slayer!
Lin Chen flicked his finger, and the demon slayer wrapped in true energy fought with the Ding Marsh evil ghost.
The demon slayer suppressed the evil ghost tightly, and the blade light flashed for a while, and the Ding Marsh evil ghost was beaten back step by step.
With just a demon slayer, he suppressed this evil ghost comparable to the middle stage of the golden elixir!
The old monster with ghost eyes frowned even more tightly when he saw this.
"This hand spirit control technique is really amazing... He can still have this spare power to control twenty-two flying knives at the same time... This person's true energy is probably comparable to the eighth or ninth turn of the golden elixir!"
Thinking of this, the old monster with ghost eyes suddenly felt a little tricky.
"In this case, we can only exchange injuries for injuries..."
"Ding Marsh Evil Ghost, Soul-Destroying Nail!"
The old monster with ghost eyes quickly chanted a string of spells.
Then, the evil ghost in the nail swamp let out a very shrill scream.
Seeing this, Lin Chen frowned slightly and manipulated the demon-slaying sword to continue to suppress the evil ghost in the nail swamp.
Unexpectedly, the long nails on the evil ghost in the nail swamp were pulled out one by one.
As the long nails were constantly pulled out, the evil ghost in the nail swamp screamed even more shrill.
Just as Lin Chen was puzzled, the long nail turned around and stabbed towards Lin Chen.
Lin Chen suddenly felt bad and hurriedly used his body-protecting true energy to resist a few...
Unexpectedly, the long nail actually went straight through the body-protecting true energy and stabbed into Lin Chen's body.
"Oops!"
Lin Chen's face changed, and he hurriedly tried to use his true energy to force the long nail away.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the long nail touched Lin Chen's skin, it turned into black gas and disappeared.
"What kind of magic weapon is this long nail..."
Just as Lin Chen was puzzled, he suddenly felt a piercing pain.
"Ah!"
It hurts, it hurts too much!
Lin Chen only felt that his soul was pierced by a long nail, and it twitched instantly...
The pain surged from the depths of his soul, and an unprecedented pain swept through Lin Chen's body.
At this moment, Lin Chen was almost unable to breathe due to the pain.
And then, two, three, five...
Seven long nails were nailed into Lin Chen's body in a row. Lin Chen suffered the same pain as the evil ghost in the nail swamp in the distance.
Under extreme pain, the twenty-one flying knives could not be controlled.
The old monster with ghost eyes took the opportunity to laugh grimly and summoned two green-faced evil ghosts to attack Lin Chen.
As for the evil ghost in the nail swamp, it also looked like it was in great pain and trembled on the spot.
When the old monster with ghost eyes saw it, a trace of heartache appeared on his face.
This evil ghost in the nail swamp was a ghost that he had obtained after hundreds of years of sacrifice.
It has the magic soul-destroying nail, which can ignore the true essence defense and nail a wisp of the soul of the evil ghost in the nail swamp into the body of the cultivator.
It makes the cultivator feel incomparable pain.
The stronger the soul of a cultivator, the less pain he suffers.
The soul strength of the Ding Swamp Evil Ghost is equivalent to that of a seventh-turn golden elixir cultivator, so it can severely damage the seventh-turn golden elixir.
However, at the same time, the Ding Swamp Evil Ghost will also suffer huge damage at the same time.
"Hehe, it seems that I worry too much... This kid's soul is just equivalent to a seventh-turn golden elixir. It's just that his true essence is a little weird..."
The old ghost with ghost eyes laughed grimly, as if he had seen Lin Chen die under the two green-faced evil ghosts.
In fact, Lin Chen only has a fourth-turn golden elixir. If it weren't for the seventh level of Tianyan Jue, the strength of his consciousness would be increased by a full 70%, close to the late stage of golden elixir.
I'm afraid that under the soul-destroying nail of this Ding Swamp Evil Ghost, the soul will be directly collided and scattered!
This is the strongest side of ghost cultivators. The strength of their souls and the means of attacking their souls are much stronger than ordinary cultivators.
But at this moment, although Lin Chen's soul was injured, he still maintained the last lucidity.
Looking at the two green-faced, fang-toothed puppets approaching quickly, Lin Chen gritted his teeth, and blood spurted out from the tip of his tongue.
The pain of the flesh briefly brought clarity to the soul.
Then, Lin Chen shook his hand and shouted softly:
"Kill the demon!"
Hundreds of feet away, the black long sword hummed softly and flew straight into Lin Chen's hand.
The cool blade and the mysteriousness of the martial spirit slightly diluted the pain of the soul.
"The power of the candle dragon!"
Lin Chen gritted his teeth and released the power of the candle dragon. At this time, his consciousness was still a little unclear, and he could not use the vibration sword technique 100% for the time being.
Facing these two green-faced, fang-toothed evil ghosts attacking, the simplest and crudest way is: cut them with one sword!
Even without the vibration sword technique, the powerful blessing brought by the candle dragon power, plus Lin Chen's intermediate martial arts physique.
This sword, too fast, too heavy!
I saw a slash of the sword, and the light of the sword flashed... Two ghosts in the Ghost Core stage were cut in half at the waist!
Lin Chen took the opportunity to jump back several hundred feet, putting some distance between himself and the ghost-eyed boy.
"Ahem, this nail really hurts!"
Lin Chen gritted his teeth and slowly stood upright.
He squinted his eyes and looked at the ghost-eyed old monster hundreds of feet away.
This old elixir-forming monster who has been in Qingzhou for hundreds of years is indeed not a person with an unworthy reputation. He is probably considered the top among the golden elixir monks.
The ghost-eyed old monster's pupils shrank suddenly when he saw the two green-faced evil ghosts dead.
"Ancient physical cultivation...nine-turn body elixir?"
The old monster with ghost eyes squinted his eyes, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.
But then, he smiled contemptuously.
"Haha... I'm lucky this time. The ancient body cultivation of the Nine Transformations Golden Pill... if it is sent to the Puppet Hall, maybe I can refine a half-step Nascent Soul puppet!"
Thinking of this, the old monster with ghost eyes licked his lips, and there was more greed in his eyes.
If he were an ordinary monk, he might not necessarily be an opponent when encountering a physical practitioner of this level.
But he is a ghost cultivator!
Specializing in cultivating the soul!
And the soul of physical cultivation happens to be... very weak!
Therefore, ghost cultivators are the most restrained against them!
After suffering the loss of the Soul-Destroying Nail, Lin Chen became more vigilant, always paying attention to the Nail Swamp Evil Ghost in the distance.
While Lin Chen was thinking about how to deal with the enemy, he suddenly received a message.
"Brother Xu, the soul of this ghost cultivator is very powerful at attacking evil... I can bring down thunder from the sky to cleanse your soul and get rid of the pain caused by the soul-killing nail..."
Lin Chen's heart moved slightly after hearing this. It turned out that it was Li Tianhan who was healing his wounds in the distance.
His Demon-Subduing Heavenly Thunder Body is extremely restrained against such ghost cultivation methods.
Lin Chen was about to answer when two more voices came to his ears.
"Owner!"
"Owner!"
The first owner came from Tian Yanzhu.
The second sound came from the Jade Ghost who had been sleeping for a long time!
"If you have anything to say, tell me quickly..." Lin Chen whispered.
After hearing this, Tian Yanzhu quickly said:
"Master, I can use the method of protection to protect your soul... That Nail Swamp Evil Ghost is an extremely rare existence among the ghosts driven by ghost cultivators."
"Its unique skill, Soul-Destroying Nail, can ignore the true essence and kill the soul... Without the soul-killing technique, it would be extremely easy to get injured!"
"But my Tianyan spiritual light can just block the attack of this Soul-Destroying Nail."
Lin Chen felt slightly happy after hearing this, but asked:
"Then why didn't you take action just now?"
"I...I didn't react..." Tian Yanzhu felt a little aggrieved.
Lin Chen was speechless after hearing this. This Lingbao is really unreliable!
He didn't react at such a critical moment!
If Lin Chen hadn't cultivated the Tianyan Jue, he might have suffered a serious blow this time.
"To deal with such ghost cultivators, it seems that we must learn one or two secret techniques of spiritual consciousness..."
Lin Chen thought to himself.
The Tianyan Jue he cultivated only had the effect of strengthening the soul.
It only grows stronger, but does not have the secret skills of the soul. It is like a monk who has strong real energy but does not know any magical powers.
You will suffer a big loss against the enemy!
The soul secret method is also extremely rare and is divided into two types: offensive and defensive.
The powerful spiritual attack technique can even directly crush the enemy's soul and destroy the enemy invisible.
However, Lin Chen had only been cultivating for a short period of time and had never encountered this kind of enemy before, so he suffered a big loss.
"It seems that after this time, I need to learn a secret method of spiritual consciousness as soon as possible..." Lin Chen thought to himself.
At the same time, Jade Ghost also said flatteringly:
"Master, can you reward me with some of these delicious nutrients?"
"What nutrients?" Lin Chen laughed angrily. In the face of such a formidable enemy, this jade ghost still wants to ask for benefits?
Jade Ghost heard Lin Chen's displeasure and quickly explained:
"The master is the soul of this evil ghost in the Nail Swamp... Its soul-destroying nail is refined from its own soul. Although it is penetrated into the master's body, it must be recycled afterwards..."
"Now that this remnant soul is still alive, I think the master must be feeling extremely painful."
"And I, the Jade Ghost, was born and raised by heaven and earth, and I am the best at plundering the remnant souls... The remnant souls of evil ghosts in this elixir-forming stage are of great use to me!"
After a pause, Jade Ghost said:
"As long as I swallow the remaining soul, the master will not feel any pain in his soul..."
Lin Chen's heart moved slightly after hearing this, and he nodded and said:
"Okay, try it."
The Jade Ghost was overjoyed when he heard this, and then saw a jade-colored mist clinging to Lin Chen's skin.
The mist quickly guided out a dozen remnant souls and swallowed them directly.
As the jade ghost swallowed the remaining soul, he hiccupped slightly, looking like he still had some unfinished thoughts.
In the distance, the Nail Swamp Demon suddenly screamed miserably.
"ah!"
It was shaking more and more violently, and its soul was obviously seriously injured.
After the Soul-Destroying Nail was pulled out, Lin Chen felt the pain in his soul gradually dissipate and quickly recovered as before.
Seeing this, Lin Chen was slightly happy.
"It really works!"
Then, Lin Chen held the demon-slaying knife in his hand, looked at the ghost-eyed boy in the distance, and sneered:
"You really underestimated me... Next, it's my home court!"
"Tianyan Pearl!"
"Yes, Master..."
An invisible spiritual light covered the surface of Lin Chen's skin, and Lin Chen suddenly felt refreshed.
"Is this Tianyan's spiritual light? It's quite impressive..."
"Before I learned the secret method of the soul, I relied on the spiritual light here to protect my body!"
Lin Chen held a black knife and rushed towards the old monster with ghost eyes.
When the old monster with ghost eyes saw that Lin Chen's soul was still alive and kicking after being hit by the Soul-Destroying Nail, his pupils suddenly shrank.
"Quick, keep going! Use the Soul-Destroying Nail!"
The old monster with ghost eyes was a little flustered. While he was driving the evil ghosts of Nailbog, he summoned more evil ghosts to come to help.
I saw him take out an ugly long flag.
The face of this flag is made of human skin, and the handle of the flag is made of human bones.
"The fate and soul share the same contract, and the underworld ghost orders!"
"Hundred ghosts walk in the night, listen to my orders!"
As the ghost-eyed boy cast a spell, a lot of black mist appeared on the ghost flag.
Faintly, there seemed to be crying and shouting...
If you look closely, you will see that the mist is actually a ghost face. After they emerged from the ghost flags, they quickly condensed into ghosts.
Green-robed ghost, red-robed evil ghost, long-tongued ghost...
Hundreds of ghosts, ranging from a long-tongued ghost comparable to a foundation to a red-clothed evil ghost comparable to a fake elixir, rushed towards Lin Chen one after another.
The ghost cultivators form an army by themselves. After hundreds or even thousands of years of accumulation, the powerful ghost cultivators have accumulated an astonishing number of evil ghosts.
"Ghost cultivator, it's really disgusting."
Lin Chen snorted coldly, his whole body full of true energy.
"However, these brats alone can't do anything to me!"
Lin Chen held the demon-slaying knife and rushed towards the ghosts.
Ordinary little devils can be dealt with with one knife.
As for the evil spirits in the false elixir period, two swords are needed.
After all, ghosts are somewhere between reality and reality, and the damage caused by martial arts skills is greatly weakened.
But even so, after several rounds of Lin Chen's charge, most of these ghosts died miserably.
The old monster with ghost eyes was even more frightened when he saw this, and quickly urged:
"The fate and soul share the same contract, and the underworld ghost orders!"
"Ghost of Nailbog, listen to my orders!"
"Soul-destroying nail, come out!"
The Nail Swamp Evil Ghost was still in a damaged state of soul at this time, but after hearing the words of the ghost-eyed old monster, he could only endure the pain and cast the Soul-Destroying Nail again.
More than ten nails were stabbed towards Lin Chen in a row.
But after encountering Lin Chen's Tianyan aura, he was instantly isolated.
Seeing that the little ghosts were scattered by Lin Chen, the ghost-eyed boy laughed ferociously.
"Hundred ghosts walk in the night, listen to my orders!"
"Gather your soul and condense your soul!"
I saw a gust of evil wind blowing around as the ghost-eyed boy waved the ghost flag.
Immediately afterwards, the defeated ghosts actually began to regroup.
Lin Chen frowned slightly when he saw this.
"Ghosts have no entity, but they can still regroup after being scattered..."
"It's really, a bit tricky!"
Just when Lin Chen was thinking about how to deal with it, the voice of Jade Ghost came to his ears.
"Master, this soul-destroying nail..."
"Well, you can eat it!" Lin Chen said generously.
"Okay!"
I saw the jade ghost striking three times, five times five times two, and devouring the remaining soul in the soul-destroying nail.
Afterwards, there were still some unfinished thoughts:
"Ahem, master...that..."
"Can I still eat the other remnants around me?"
When Lin Chen heard this, he looked at the ghosts he had killed.
After a ghost is killed, its remaining soul will remain in this world and will not dissipate in a short period of time.
The more powerful the ghost, the longer it can stay...
And under the call of Oni Banner, these hundred ghosts can continue to condense...
But, what if it was swallowed directly?
The jade ghost is a ghost that can swallow the remaining souls!
Thinking of this, the corners of Lin Chen's mouth rose.
"eat!"
"Today, you have enough to eat!"
After that, Lin Chen continued to kill these ghosts.
The jade ghost was trembling with excitement, wildly devouring the remaining souls around him.
Lin Chen only cares about killing ghosts, while Jade Ghost only cares about devouring them.
One master and one servant, the two work together perfectly.
After being swallowed by the jade ghost, those ghosts never had a chance to regroup.
Seeing that the number of summoned demons was getting fewer and fewer, the ghost-eyed boy's eyes turned red.
These ghosts are all the information he has accumulated over hundreds of years of hard work!
What ghost cultivators rely on most is ghosts!
Therefore, regardless of the outcome of this battle, only these ghosts were killed...
After this battle, his strength will definitely be greatly reduced and he will never be as strong as before.
"Damn it! Damn it!"
The old monster with ghost eyes cursed angrily. The last time he lost his temper like this was when he was in Jade Belt City a few years ago...
"Who is this guy?"
"Why...why would such a troublesome existence suddenly appear on the land of Qingzhou?"
The old monster with ghost eyes had never seen Lin Chen, and he didn't even know that the "Xu Shi" in front of him was the culprit who severely injured him in Yudai City a few years ago.
Seeing that all the ghosts were about to be swallowed up, the old monster with ghost eyes suddenly became anxious.
"The evil spirit of the Nail Swamp! The Soul-Destroying Nail!"
The ghost-eyed old monster's eyes were already red at this time. Even if the nail swamp evil ghost he worked so hard to raise died after this battle, he would still kill this guy.
The Nailbog Evil Ghost trembled after hearing this, but as a ghost, he could not resist.
While Lin Chen was entangled with the evil ghosts of Nail Marsh, the old monster with ghost eyes began to summon other evil ghosts.
"The fate and soul share the same contract, and the underworld ghost orders!"
"Devils cry, come out!"
"The fallen ghost from the ground, come out!"
"Snow Ghost, come out!"
The old monster with ghost eyes was furious at this moment. He desperately summoned the evil ghosts that he had worked hard to accumulate for many years.
Then, the three tattoos on his chest glowed faintly.
Three evil ghosts in the middle stage of pill formation came out directly from his chest.
As soon as the evil spirit comes out, ghosts and wolves howl within a radius of ten miles, like a crying baby.
The fallen evil ghost was a huge creature that looked like a lizard, with strong muscles all over its body, three feet long, and lying on the ground.
As for the snow ghost, it was a female ghost with a very beautiful face.
She had a petite figure and skin as white as snow. The most amazing thing was that the hair and eyes on this ghost were all snow-white...
When the snow ghost appeared, snow began to fall between heaven and earth.
…
At this time, Lin Chen was having a great time killing. After he completely eliminated the hundred ghosts, he used his true essence to severely injure the nail swamp evil ghost.
The remaining soul of the nail swamp evil ghost was also being devoured by the jade ghost.
In the blink of an eye, it was dying.
Just after eliminating the nail swamp evil ghost, Lin Chen saw three more evil ghosts and sneered:
"Hehe, a ghost cultivator, one man can form an army... It really lives up to his reputation!"
After that, Lin Chen hovered a hundred feet away from the ghost-eyed boy and sneered:
"Ghost-eyed, I haven't seen you for a few years... You have made great progress!"
A few years no see?
The ghost-eyed old monster frowned and asked hurriedly:
"Who... who are you? We have never met before!"
After hearing this, Lin Chen sneered.
Since the ghost-eyed old monster summoned evil ghosts, there was no need for him to fight one-on-one.
"Long Ba, Feng Jiu, come out!"
After summoning two martial arts puppets, Lin Chen smiled and said:
"Ghost-eyed, do you remember who I am now?"
