Hell Emperor

The sudden change shocked everyone, but they saw that what Hua Xiaomei summoned was not the soul of Master Black Eagle at all, but a pale evil spirit with a fierce look.

The evil spirit has a ferocious expression, its messy hair is like fluffy straw, and its nails are sharp and slender, shining with a cold light like a blade, making people shudder.

"That aura... is not good. The evil spirit swallowed Master Black Eagle's soul and actually broke through to the early stage of the third-level Ox Horse Realm." Ye Jie was shocked in his heart and looked horrified.

Hua Xiaomei's preparations were not in vain. The thick black mist covering the face of the mummy moved to the front of the pale ghast's eyes, as if an airtight black cloth was covering her face, making it impossible for her to see. Unaware of the surroundings, he could only wave his sharp claws randomly, leaving deep scratches on the cave wall.

Ye Jie raised his hand, his spiritual power flowing rapidly, and the giant black arrow condensed in his palm, and shot towards the pale evil soul, making a dull sound of breaking through the air.

The pale ghast felt something in his heart and twisted his body to avoid the soul-shattering arrow shot while blind.

Ye Jie missed the shot, and the soul-breaking arrow in the Great Stage hit the cave wall behind the evil spirit in vain. Not only did it fail to hurt it at all, but it allowed her to lock Ye Jie's own position based on the source of the sound.

The dull strong wind hit him head on, and the pale evil spirit, with its teeth and claws snarling, crossed dozens of steps in an instant and rushed towards Ye Jie, letting out a shrill scream from its mouth.

Ye Jie looked in pain and covered his ears with both hands. His body was unable to move under the threat of the scream. His soul was completely frozen as if it had fallen into an ice cellar. He could only watch the evil spirit getting closer and closer.

At the critical moment, there was a swishing sound in her ears. Poria waved her folding fan and stepped forward to meet the incoming evil spirit.

The fan bones and sharp claws collided one after another, making a series of crisp sounds of gold and iron. Facing the evil spirit's fierce attack, Fu Ling felt extremely stressed and broke out in a cold sweat. If the evil spirit regained her vision, she would be completely defeated without even using two moves.

The dark rope was thrown over at this moment, and it accurately caught the evil spirit's body. Under the restraint of the soul-binding rope, the evil spirit's body was restricted and unable to move.

At the other end of the noose, Nan Linghe was holding on to the rope with all her strength. She bit her lips tightly. Her eyes were a little confused in normal times, but she was extremely focused at the moment. The soul-binding rope she had just learned not long ago was now put to use.

"You did a great job, Nan Linghe!"

Taking advantage of this brief gap, Ye Jie recovered from the shock of the scream, raised his hand, and shot the big black arrow straight at the evil spirit bound in place. The soul-breaking arrows in the Dacheng stage are extremely powerful. As long as they can hit evil spirits, even if she is in the early stage of the third stage, she still has to take a good drink.

Poria also seized this hard-won opportunity, flew forward, swung a folding fan as sharp as a blade, and chopped off the evil spirit's head.

Seeing that the attack was about to be effective, the evil spirit raised its head and let out a roar like thunder. The roar echoed in the cave. In an instant, a burst of black mist surged around the evil spirit. Its body was raised from the ground until it was more than eight feet tall. Along with the roar came a , and the loud and clear cry of a baby.

The soul-breaking arrow accurately hit the evil soul's chest, but it only made her take half a step back. She shook hard and broke free from the soul-binding rope thrown by Nan Linghe. Her sharp claws swept across, and Fuling was swept away. He went out and cracked the cave wall, losing the ability to fight just like Hua Xiaomei who collapsed on the ground.

"Is that the Dharma Body? She has just entered the third level, and she has already cultivated the Dharma Body?" Ye Jie was shocked. If the effect of the cloud cover was not still maintained, everyone would not be able to survive for a few seconds in the hands of the pale evil spirit who unfolded the Dharma Body. trick.

Seeing that the evil spirit was about to pounce on the immobile Poria, Ye Jie, who had quick eyes and quick hands, quickly picked up a stone from the ground and threw it towards the cave wall.

"Snapped……"

The crisp sound of the stones colliding with the cave wall immediately attracted the evil spirit's full attention. She, who was blind, almost brushed past Ye Jie's body and rushed to the front of the cave wall in an instant. Her sharp claws swept across the cave wall. It left several horrific claw marks.

Ye Jie was so angry that he didn't dare to breathe. At the same time, he glanced at Nan Linghe beside him and made a hissing gesture towards her.

Nan Linghe immediately understood what Ye Jie meant and nodded repeatedly.

The evil spirit missed the target with one blow and cautiously looked around. Suddenly his expression became fixed, and the direction he was facing was exactly where Ye Jie was standing. This shocked Ye Jie, and he had to stand there like a log, and moved. Don't dare to move either.

"Snapped……"

Another crisp sound came. Seeing that Ye Jie was in trouble, Nan Linghe followed his example and threw stones at the cave wall.

The evil spirit violently rose up and rushed towards the cave wall hit by the stone at an unparalleled speed. With a sweep of its claw, the cave wall collapsed and gravel scattered everywhere. But behind the broken cave wall, a mysterious hidden passage was revealed. Deep in the passage, there was also a candlestick hanging like the one in the cave.

"Wait, that can't be..."

Seeing this, Ye Jie opened his mouth wide. Unexpectedly, Nan Linghe unexpectedly revealed the hidden secrets of the cave.

The pale evil spirit turned around, and the black clouds that obscured her eyes dissipated. Her eyes flashed with a chilling feeling, and endless rage was contained within them. When she regained her strength, what awaited everyone would not end well. .

Seeing the pale evil spirit focusing on Nan Linghe, Ye Jie immediately raised his hand and shot a big black arrow.

When the evil spirits were blinded by clouds and their sight was blocked, they could rely on instinctive perception to avoid the soul-shattering arrows shot at them. Now that she regained her sight, it was even more impossible to shoot her. With a dexterous move, she dodged the soul-breaking arrow that was shot at her.

Ye Jie's move immediately attracted the full attention of the evil spirit. Seeing that she was staring at him, Ye Jie quickly squatted down and shouted: "Hurry up and take them to escape with the Earth-Shrinking Stone. I'll be there soon."

Nan Linghe obeyed and ran to the two seriously injured people. As the sound of the black stone hitting the ground spread, the figures of several people disappeared in an instant.

The pale evil spirit screamed and rushed towards Ye Jie again. Ye Jie had expected it and hit the ground with the black stone first. With a shake of his body, the two actually switched positions. The pale evil spirit pounced on nothing, while Ye Jie moved to the front of the hidden passage.

"Maybe it's a bit risky to do this, but for my apprentice, I can only give it a try now."

Ye Jie made up his mind and hit the ground with the black stone again, moving towards the inside of the passage.

Of course, the evil spirit would not let Ye Jie go, and was about to rush into the passage. However, the pitch-black arrow shot from the inside of the passage slowed her down, and by the time she entered the passage, Ye Jie had already disappeared.

The shrill scream from behind made Ye Jie uneasy. Now, he was racing with the evil spirit with his life as a bet. If he fell into the hands of the evil spirit, he would have no other possibility except to be torn apart.

In front of the passage, the spiritual power became more and more dense, and the star-like light fell into Ye Jie's eyes. On the stone platform in front, there were a piece of spiritual stones neatly arranged, at least dozens of them.

Ye Jie's sight did not stay on the crystal and shining spiritual stones for a moment. He quickly scanned the surroundings, looking for the most important goal of this trip, the body movement book used by Master Black Hawk.

"Where is the book of Xuanying Step? Hmm? That is..."

Waving his sleeves to sweep away the scattered spiritual stones on the stone platform, Ye Jie was stunned. What appeared in front of him was not the fascinating book of martial arts, but something he didn't expect.

Accompanied by a roar that tore through the silence, the pale evil spirit arrived in time, and its cold and fierce eyes were fixed on Ye Jie, and then it pounced on him with its fangs and claws.

Ye Jie reached out and lifted the object on the stone platform in front of him. Seeing this object, the evil spirit's swift movements suddenly slowed down, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

What Ye Jie lifted was a string of palm-sized golden bells. The golden bells were simple and exquisite, but the breath from them evoked the painful memories in the evil spirit's heart. In the end, he could only stand there, hesitating and not daring to attack, and unwillingly roared at Ye Jie.

"Ding-ling-ling..."

Of course Ye Jie would not miss this opportunity. He took a step forward and shook his wrist. A clear and pleasant ringing sound came from the rapidly shaking golden bell.

The clear ringing sounded like a devil's voice to the pale evil spirit. She knelt on the ground in pain and covered her ears with her hands. However, the penetrating ringing sound still penetrated her ears, like a sharp knife constantly stirring in her mind. Even her Dharma body could not maintain itself. Her body was forced to return to its original state and she wailed in pain.

Ye Jie saw the opportunity and condensed a black rope to bind the pale evil spirit. He walked around her several times until she was tied up tightly, and then stopped shaking the golden bell.

When the ringing stopped, the evil spirit suddenly became dishonest and prepared to break free from the rope. Seeing this, Ye Jie raised the golden bell again, and there was a bit of silent threat in his calm eyes.

The evil spirit was stunned by his action and had to stay where he was, not daring to resist.

Seeing that this method worked, Ye Jie finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I know you can understand me." Ye Jie raised the golden bell again and warned, "Don't act rashly, or you will only suffer."

The pale evil spirit took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling, and his eyes looking at Ye Jie were filled with deep hatred.

After stabilizing the evil spirit, Ye Jie searched around and soon found two black-covered books, a scroll, a blood-stained knife, a black token, and a total of 19 spirit stones from under the stone platform.

Opening the thinner book, Ye Jie immediately showed joy: "This is the Xuanyingbu martial arts book, great, when Xia Wei learns this lower-grade earth-level body movement, even if she can't beat Hengshan Bandit, at least she can escape from him..." Putting the Xuanyingbu book in his arms, Ye Jie's eyes fell on another book: "I wonder what kind of martial arts is recorded in this book?" Flipping through another thicker book, Ye Jie's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. Not long after, he put the book down and picked up the note on the side. After reading it, he couldn't help but gasp. The book records a lower-grade human-level martial arts called the Soul-Cleansing Art. This method is specially created for refining other people's souls. After the refining is completed, the ghost can be put into the soul-summoning flag, making it a puppet driven by oneself. The refined ghost cannot disobey any orders of the master, even if it is ordered to die, it will be carried out meticulously. The souls that can be refined by the Soul Purification Technique are limited to souls of lower ranks than oneself. For example, Master Black Hawk, who is in the late second stage, cannot completely refine the pale evil souls of the peak second stage.

For those souls that cannot be refined, the Soul Purification Technique also provides a method to subdue them.

As long as the initial refining can be completed with special sacrifices, the fear of the sound of the golden bell can be completely implanted deep in the soul's heart. As long as the soul hears the sound of the golden bell, it will feel the soul trembling and unbearable pain, and finally can only obey the master's orders.

The notebook next to it records the method of making the soul-calling flag, which also contains many experiences left by Master Black Hawk.

The handbook mentioned that in order to increase the power of the Soul Calling Flag, the cloth needs to be sewn with human skin, the flagpole needs to be spliced ​​with human bones, and the stronger the person, the better.

Master Black Eagle's previous soul-summoning flags were only ninth-grade magic weapons that could only accommodate fifty souls at most. However, those high-grade soul-summoning flags were a world of their own internally, not only able to accommodate thousands of ghosts, but also It can nourish the souls inside at all times and invisibly improve their realm.

Putting away the classics and manuscripts, Ye Jie looked again at the pale evil spirit not far away. Seeing her grinning, she wanted to eat him alive with her eyes. Ye Jie took out a broken page from his arms and said slowly : "Let me see what you did during your lifetime."

"Luobei, in the spring of the ninth year of Daye, he was born into an Ankang family."

"In the autumn of the fourth year of Zhenguan, the purse was stolen by a servant. After the identity of the thief was found out, he did not pursue the case, forgiven the crime, and received ninety yin virtues."

"In the spring of the seventh year of Zhenguan, I went to the Chenghuang Temple to offer incense for five consecutive years and gained fifty yin virtues."

"In the summer of the tenth year of Zhenguan, I got married and started a new family. In the hot summer days, I rewarded my servants with iced tea and gained forty virtues."

"In the winter of the twelfth year of Zhenguan, I became pregnant in ten months and gave birth to a son and a daughter. I received one hundred virtuous virtues."

"In the winter of the twelfth year of Zhenguan, he had a conflict with others and was eager to protect his son. He died with resentment at the age of twenty-five."

"In my life, I treat people and things in accordance with the way of heaven. I have gained 260 yin virtues from trivial things. I have 1,500 yin virtues left in my previous life."

"A total of two thousand one hundred and forty yin virtues."

Putting away the remaining pages, Ye Jie glanced at Luo Bei and said with emotion: "You have done a lot of good deeds in your life. As a ghost, I will not make things difficult for you. You can rest assured."

Luo Bei didn't believe it. He stared at the golden bell lifted by Ye Jie's other hand with cold pupils, and raised a sarcastic sneer at the corner of his mouth.

Ye Jie coughed dryly: "I will not refine your soul like Master Black Eagle. I will send you to Naihe Bridge to help you in your next reincarnation. Don't worry, you will soon forget the past. Tragic experience, reincarnation.”

Hearing what Ye Jie said, Luo Bei struggled like crazy, letting out a low roar from her mouth. Even the soul-binding rope could not continue to restrain her.

In the new year, thank you all book friends for your continued support. I wish you all a happy new year and good luck in the Year of the Dragon!
