Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 720: Rescue the old friend and instantly kill the fourth-level ghost king!

The purple lightning was like a peerless divine light, carrying the momentum to destroy the world, and it slammed towards the fourth-level ghost king.

The Ghost King sensed the approaching danger and his face changed suddenly. He hurriedly gave up attacking Lan Yanping and Xu Ziling, and danced his hands quickly, condensing a black ghost energy shield in front of him.

The purple lightning collided with the ghost shield, making a deafening roar, and the aftermath of the collision spread in all directions like a surging tide.

The ghost shield trembled violently under the impact of the lightning, and countless cracks appeared, as if it would be completely shattered in the next moment.

The fourth-level ghost king was shocked when he saw this, and quickly spat out a dark green ghost bead from his mouth and merged it into the shield, thus barely stabilizing the shield.

"Who is it? How dare you ruin my good thing!"

The Ghost King roared angrily, his pair of blood-red eyes flashing eerily in the ghost fog, searching for the attacker.

The one who took action was naturally Zhou Xun.

When he noticed the fighting, he immediately looked over there.
With the eyesight of the telepathic blue pupil, it is easy to take it in.

Zhou Xun immediately discovered that two human Jindan were surrounded by the ghosts. Without time to think, he took out the equal-mang lightning spear.
When it was aroused, it rushed towards this side.

It's a pity that the distance is too far.
Even if he used teleportation, he couldn't reach the ghost king directly.
Otherwise, this one strike alone would be enough to kill the Ghost King, leaving him no chance to use defensive techniques.

at this time,

Tianci Zhenjun piloted the shuttle and, under the guidance of Zhou Xunling's azure pupils, quickly rushed to the scene of the incident.

After a dozen breaths, they arrived in front of the Heavy Ghost King.
Falling slowly.

"Are you looking for us?" Zhou Xun said lightly.

The shuttle appeared in front of everyone in an instant, and Zhou Xun, Wang Erniu and Tianci Zhenjun jumped off the shuttle.

A lightning spear with a uniform edge was floating in front of Zhou Xun, pointing directly at the ghost king!
"Senior Zhou!" Lan Yanping and Xu Ziling were overjoyed when they saw Zhou Xun.

Originally, they had made up their minds to die, intending to perish together with these ghost kings.

Unexpectedly, someone came to rescue me.
What's even more surprising is that the one who saved them is their old acquaintance, Wangchuan Zhenjun Zhou Xun.

They naturally knew Zhou Xun's strength, which was comparable to that of a great cultivator. So it was no problem for him to defeat a mere fourth-rank ghost king.

The two of them hurried forward to pay their respects, their faces filled with relief at having survived the disaster and respect for Zhou Xun.

"No need to be so polite, just step aside and wait for me to deal with these ghosts first."

Zhou Xun's eyes were always fixed on the fourth-level ghost king, and he said lightly.

Lan Yanping and Xu Ziling nodded quickly, retreated dozens of feet behind Zhou Xun and others, and watched the battle nervously.

At this time, the fourth-level ghost king had a very solemn expression on his face. Looking at Zhou Xun, Wang Erniu and others who had gathered around him, he felt a chill in his heart.

There were three of them at the same level, and one of them was a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. He was definitely no match for them.

But he would not just accept his fate.
At the same time as the lightning appeared, he had already notified the nearby tribesmen. At this time, nearly ten fourth-level ghost kings had come to support him.

As long as he delays a little while, the first batch of reinforcements will arrive.

"As a Nascent Soul cultivator, don't you think you have no moral principles and do things like bullying the minority with your numbers?" The fourth-level ghost king spoke slowly.

"We are just a tribe of ghosts, why should we talk about morality?" Zhou Xun sneered.
"Stop talking nonsense and let me have a taste of your ghost clan's power!"

"Brother, let me help you!"

At this moment, Wang Erniu spoke, the long sword in his hand hung in the air, surrounded by sword energy, with amazing power!
"No need to do that, I can do it alone!"

"It's a good opportunity to try out my new magical power!" Zhou Xun smiled faintly.
Put your hands together, chant something, and point at your eyes.
Zhou Xun's eyes emitted green light, directly covering the ghost kings on the opposite side.

The three third-level ghost kings instantly fell into a daze, their eyes were lifeless, and they seemed to be trapped in some kind of illusion.

The same is true for the fourth-level ghost king.
Seeing this, Zhou Xun threw the Thunder Spear in his hand forward.
The Thunder Spear was like a flash of lightning, cutting through the void, and with rumbling thunder, it pierced straight into the fourth-level ghost king.

Although the Ghost King was deeply trapped in the illusion, he instinctively sensed that danger was approaching. He struggled desperately, trying to break free from the illusion. However, Zhou Xun's spiritual blue pupils were not so easily cracked.

The lightning spear instantly pierced in front of the ghost king. Just as it was about to hit him, a layer of dark light suddenly appeared around the ghost king's body. This light was like an extra layer of shield.

"laugh--"

The lightning spear came into contact with the dark light and instantly annihilated it.
Then it passed through the ghost king's head.

Immediately afterwards, arcs of lightning scattered out from the lightning spear, wrapping a fist-sized ghost bead layer by layer and slowly sending it in front of Zhou Xun.

Looking carefully, the bead is about the size of an adult's fist. Its inky black surface emits a strange light, as if there are wisps of ghostly energy entwined and swimming in it.

There are some obscure runes engraved on the surface, which emit a faint evil aura that makes people feel chilled when they see it.

Zhou Xun couldn't help but smile.
"Yes, it is indeed a fourth-level ghost bead, and I got fifty battle merits!"

He then cast a series of spells to seal the ghost bead and put it into the storage bag.

As for the remaining ghosts,
"Stay here!"

Zhou Xun snorted coldly, put his hands together, and punched into the air.
"Boom!"

A huge thunder pattern appeared in the sky.

Then, hundreds of lightning bolts fell from the sky.

Each one was chasing after the ghosts below.

"what--"

The screams and the roar of lightning intertwined and became weaker and weaker.

Finally, peace fell.

Only hundreds of ghost beads were floating quietly in the air.
Zhou Xun waved his hand, and all the ghost beads came in one after another and were put into his storage bag.

Collected them all.

"Thank you, Senior Zhou, for saving our lives. If you hadn't arrived in time, we would have been doomed today." Lan Yanping said gratefully.

"You're welcome. Why are you being besieged here by the ghosts?" Zhou Xun asked.

Lan Yanping sighed and recounted the story of how they were exploring the ghost fog land and accidentally fell into the ghost trap.

"This ghost fog land is full of dangers. You must be more careful in the future." Zhou Xun reminded.

"Yes, Lord Zhou, we will." Lan Yanping and Xu Ziling said.

"How are your injuries now? Do you need my help?" Zhou Xun asked.

"Thank you for your concern, Lord Zhou. We only suffered some minor injuries and can heal ourselves." Lan Yanping said.

"That's good. You should leave the ghost fog as soon as possible and find a safe place to heal your wounds." Zhou Xun said. "Yes, Lord Zhou, we will take our leave now." Lan Yanping and Xu Ziling bowed and thanked him again, then turned and left.

Zhou Xun watched them leave with a lot of emotion in his heart. In this era of rampant ghosts, every human cultivator is fighting hard to survive and protect the human world. He also knows that he has a heavy responsibility.

"It's time for us to leave. The fourth-level ghost king just now was obviously stalling for time and waiting for reinforcements. It would be bad if we are too late and surrounded by them!" Zhou Xun said.

Then the three of them set off again, changed direction, and rushed towards the depths of the ghost fog.

The shuttle was like a red meteor in the ghost fog, cutting through the thick darkness. Zhou Xun stood at the front of the shuttle, his spiritual blue pupils fully opened, and he scanned the surroundings vigilantly.

Wang Erniu and Tianci Zhenjun did not dare to slack off at all. They mobilized their spiritual power and prepared to deal with any danger that might arise at any time.

One month later, deep in the ghost fog,

A white shuttle was flying slowly in the air.

"Brother, since I rescued those two people last time and killed a fourth-level ghost king, I haven't encountered a fourth-level ghost king since then."

"They are all at the third level. If this continues, how long will it take to collect all the military merits?"

Wang Erniu couldn't help but sigh.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"The ghost fog is vast and has a suppressive effect on spiritual consciousness, and the fourth-level ghost king is equivalent to a Yuanying cultivator."

"The number is limited. It's certainly not easy to come across another one!" Zhou Xun said slowly.

Of course, there is another way to quickly find the ghost tribe.
That is to deliberately expose your whereabouts, surround a group of ghosts, and wait for their reinforcements to arrive.

However, although this method is fast, it is also very risky and can easily fail.
It is not easy to attract several fourth-level upper-grade ghost kings.

In this case, even if Zhou Xun and Tianci Zhenjun were extremely powerful, they would probably not be their opponents.

Once they are entangled by them, more and more ghosts will gather together, and by then, they may be in danger of perishing.

This kind of thing,
Before setting off, Lord Yama warned them several times that they would certainly not joke with their lives.

"Forget it, let's stop here for today's search!"

Then the three of them descended and landed in a valley.

Zhou Xun slapped the storage bag on his waist, and a three-foot-long wooden box appeared in front of him.
Throw it gently,
The wooden box opened automatically, and three hundred and sixty battle flags flew out from it.
According to certain directions, they were arranged around the entire valley.
As Zhou Xun cast his spell,

A blue-purple translucent light curtain rose up, completely wiping out the ghost fog in the valley, while also blocking the ghost fog outside.
A simple camp was temporarily formed.

It was the Five Heavens Divine Thunder Formation that Zhou Xun had previously refined, a fourth-order, low-grade thunder-attribute magic formation that had a restraining effect on ghost fog.

"Without the invasion of this ghost fog, it is indeed much more comfortable!" Wang Erniu laughed.

Then he sat cross-legged, took out a Qi-recovering pill from his storage bag, swallowed it, and began to meditate to recover his Qi.
During this time,

The three of them took turns to control the shuttle. Once the magic power of the three of them was less than 70% at the same time, they would choose a secret place.
He set up the 'Five Heavens Divine Thunder Formation' and began to meditate and recover.

A day later, Zhou Xun opened his eyes. His energy and spirit had recovered to its peak state.

Soon, Wang Erniu and Tianci Zhenjun also recovered.
Then Zhou Xun collected the magic circle, and the three of them took the shuttle to continue exploring. Zhou Xun stood at the bow, his spiritual blue pupils opened, and he explored carefully.

Just like this, five days passed in a flash.

On this day, Zhou Xun stood at the bow as usual, using his pupil technique to search everywhere.
Suddenly, Zhou Xun's eyes lit up, and he saw a large army of ghosts passing slowly a hundred miles to the left. A rough estimate showed that there were thousands of them, and they were full of ghostly aura.

The figures of the fourth-level ghost kings were clearly visible, and there were as many as four of them.

The leading one was of the fourth-grade mid-level quality.

Zhou Xun then informed Wang Erniu and Tianci Zhenjun of the news.

Wang Erniu's eyes flashed with excitement: "Brother, I've been looking for them for so long, and finally I met them!"

"Four fourth-rank ghost kings and one fourth-rank mid-rank ghost king, adding up to three hundred battle merits, this is a great gain!"

You know, I heard from Lord Yan Mo that in most cases, you can only encounter a fourth-level ghost king once every six months.

After searching for just over a month, they discovered a large ghost army. It was truly a gift from God!

Zhou Xun's eyes were stern: "The scale of the ghost army this time is not small, we can't take it lightly!"

"Later, we will ambush the ghost army in front of them. I will use the teleportation technique of the Thunder Spear to kill one person first."

"Then I used the thunder array technique to capture all the ghosts below the fourth level!"

"As for Brother Tianci, you will be responsible for dealing with the middle-grade ghost king, and Erniu, you will deal with the other one!"

"What about the other one?" Wang Erniu asked curiously.
At this time, Zhou Xun slapped the spirit beast bag on his waist, and Xiao Jin and Xiao Jia flew out at the same time and landed in front of the two people.

"I've met the master!"

"Brother, when will you bring Xiao Jin and Xiao Jia with you? This way, we won't have to worry about the combat power of the five Nascent Souls!" Wang Erniu said happily!

"Not bad!" Tianci Zhenjun also nodded with satisfaction.

After assigning tasks,
Under Zhou Xun's guidance, the three of them came to the place where the ghost army must pass and hid themselves.

Over time,
About a quarter of an hour later,

Then they could see a group of ghosts coming towards them.

"30,000 feet, 20,000 feet"

"Six thousand feet, five thousand feet"

The three men and two beasts hid on the ground, watching the ghost army approaching. Zhou Xun held Junmang in his hand, ready to fire at any time.
When the ghost tribe approached two thousand feet,
Everyone suddenly jumped up, Zhou Xun injected his magic power into the Junmang in his hand,

With a buzzing sound,
The lightning spear turned into a three-foot-long piece.

He aimed at the fourth-grade inferior ghost king on the far left and threw it hard!
The short spear suddenly disappeared from its original position, and the next moment it appeared ten feet in front of the ghost king on the left.
"Pfft!"

As it looked stunned, the sword pierced through its head and killed it with one strike!

At the same time, Tianci Zhenjun, Wang Erniu, Xiaojin and Xiaojia rushed towards the opposite side at the same time!
After this sudden attack, the ghost tribe was thrown into chaos.

"Human attack!"

The middle-grade ghost king who was in the lead shouted loudly, and all the ghosts began to disperse and distribute themselves according to a certain pattern.

It seems that some kind of powerful combined attack method is being arranged!

"Not good, quick and decisive!" After Zhou Xun succeeded in his attack, he did not stop.
As soon as he opened his mouth, seventy-two thunder seeds flew out instantly.

Then, with lightning speed, it occupied a space of several thousand feet in an instant, just enough to include the ghost army.
The ghost tribe had already formed their formation.

The war between the two sides is about to break out!
