Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 572 The Death of the Ghost King of Mangshan

As the place where the imperial mausoleum of the Chu Dynasty is located, Mang Mountain is always covered by woods and gives off a dark and forbidding atmosphere.

Gu Xu and Xu Man tore through space and reached the top of the mountain shrouded in clouds.

In front of them was a hidden cave.

The grass is deep and the moss is mottled.

However, deep in this dark and humid cave, there is a pair of exquisitely crafted coffins. The entire body is made of golden nanmu called "Emperor Wood" and is carved with complex patterns.

When Gu Xu and Xu Man appeared, with a "crunching" sound, the coffin lid was pushed open by a withered hand.

A mummified body sat in the coffin.

Its skin is as yellow as dead wood and clings to its bones. Under the erosion of time, its face has become unrecognizable, its eye sockets are sunken, and its eyes are covered by two dark eyelids, like two lifeless stones.

It was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe with mottled fabric and a tattered nine-shaped crown.

It is the fierce god-level ghost who lives closest to Luo Jing—the Mangshan Ghost King.

Although its appearance looked decayed and dilapidated, the moment it appeared, a cold and terrifying aura immediately enveloped the entire Mang Mountain. The air around it was almost solid, and the sky above it seemed a bit darker.

Since the day of the Luoshui Conference, when the Emperor Tianxing easily eliminated his true body and all the "ghost attendants", the Ghost King of Mangshan has been dormant in this coffin, silently recovering his strength, and gradually transformed from a bare skeleton into a An emaciated mummy.

Although the Imperial City fought, it returned with a disastrous defeat.

But it firmly believes that with its infinite lifespan, it will one day be able to outlast Emperor Tianxing, outlast all the powerful human beings in the Daqi Dynasty who are more powerful than it, and survive until the day it succeeds.

Just now...

Its eyes stayed on the young man in flowing green clothes in front of it for a long time, feeling incredible.

The last time it saw Gu Xu was in the imperial treasury of Daqi.

At the beginning, Gu Xu was just a weak third-level monk. His body was extremely weak and riddled with holes. If Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcist Department, had not explained it in advance, he could kill an ant as easily as he could crush it. killed him.

But something happened at that time that made the Mangshan Ghost King feel very strange.

That is, in Gu Xu's weak body, there are actually two souls!

The Ghost King of Mangshan has always been puzzled.

But today, when it saw Gu Xu again, it was surprised to find that for some reason, there was only one soul left in Gu Xu's body!

Moreover, this boy's cultivation level has soared from the third level to the seventh level in just a few months!

In his long life, Mangshan Ghost King has witnessed the life and death of countless humans, and has also seen with his own eyes the rise and fall of many dazzling geniuses.

But this was the first time it had seen Gu Xu's ridiculous promotion speed.

Before it could think through these issues, it heard Gu Xu calmly ordering Xu Man beside him: "Let's do it!"

Xu Man, as the strongest swordsman in the world, naturally did not hesitate to take action.

As soon as Gu Xu finished speaking, the surrounding branches, gravel, fallen leaves, and soil flew into the air one after another, flashing with sharp cold light, carrying the whistling wind, and turned into countless sharp swords, like the overwhelming pouring rain. He stabbed towards the location of Mangshan Ghost King.

Turning everything in the world into a sword is the unique sign of a swordsman saint.

Although Gu Xu who was next to him did not take action directly, he secretly used the method of rebellion to attach it to Xu Man's body.

In terms of realm alone, Xu Man may be slightly inferior to the Ghost King of Mangshan - after all, she only has the cultivation level of the seventh realm, and the Ghost King of Mangshan at his peak state can compete with the powerful True Lord of the eighth realm.

But now the Mangshan Ghost King's strength has been greatly damaged and has not yet fully recovered. Xu Man's strength, strengthened by the way of rebellion, has the following effect of overcoming the superior and defeating the strong with the weak, and his power is far greater than before.

In an instant, thousands of sword lights flashed across like meteors, smashing the damp mist in the mountains into pieces.

Under this fierce offensive, the body of Mangshan Ghost King immediately became flickering, appearing and disappearing, trying to hide in the void to test the fierce sword energy.

However, Gu Xu would not let it happen easily.

He raised his hand gently, and with a thought in his mind, as the authority of "Qiankun" unfolded, the space at the top of Mang Mountain was instantly blocked. The Mangshan Ghost King was immediately kicked out of the void by an invisible force.

It let out a low roar and could only turn into a black mist, which it could carry with its own strength.

The coffin in the cave was instantly shattered into pieces, with sawdust flying everywhere.

The black fog also faded a bit instantly.

When the Ghost King of Mang Mountain returned to its original appearance, its body like dead wood had countless sword marks.

The golden imperial robe was in tatters, and the torn fabric was swaying on his body. The ancient Nine Crown was also broken into countless pieces and fell off its head.

But Xu Man's attack did not stop there.

She finally summoned her natal sword.

The sword's tip flashed with cold light, and murderous intent burst out.

Under the control of her mind, the long sword turned into a cyan afterimage, accompanied by a humming sound, and flew straight towards the Mangshan Ghost King ahead.

"This sword is for the common people around Mang Mountain."

"This sword is for the young monks of the previous generation of Shenji Camp."

"This sword is for 'Easy Swordsman' Su Hao."

"This sword is for 'Jade Faced Yama' Fang Hongshu."

"..."

Every time Xu Man made a move with his sword, he would silently recite a name in his mind and recall a face from many years ago.

At this time, the Ghost King of Mangshan did not have a "ghost attendant" and lost many of his past fighting methods.

Xu Man's sword rays were like cutting a watermelon, dividing its body into countless pieces, and every cut surface was smooth and neat.

But it's not sitting still.

Every piece of its broken body has turned into a brand new individual, flying in all directions - as long as it can catch a person, a beast, or even an ant, it can inhabit its body and slowly transform it Serve as your own ghost, and it will be reborn.

Gu Xu smiled and stopped its plan again.

He waved his hand gently, and the space around him began to twist again, turning into a swirling structure like a ghost wall.

No matter how far the Mangshan Ghost King escapes, he will always return to the starting point.

"This sword is for my senior brother and my lover, the 'Invincible Sword God' Hu Yun." Xu Man was heard saying softly.

The green sword light connected into one, like the thunder and fire above the nine heavens, shrouding the Ghost King of Mangshan. In this dazzling sword light, Mangshan Ghost King let out a shrill scream, as if he was enduring the torment of the Nine Nether Hell.

After a while, the Mangshan Ghost King turned into black ashes.

This ferocious evil spirit that once wreaked havoc in Gyeonggi Province and claimed countless lives has finally ceased to exist.

Xu Man stood firmly on the spot, his eyes were in a daze, and his heart was neither happy nor sad.

After a long silence, he slowly put away his sword.
