No sooner had Kong Jia finished speaking than the Bewitching Spirit flew towards him, its sinister black energy transforming into a sharp claw that swept towards Kong Jia with terrifying pressure.
Kong Jia's eyes darkened, and he immediately produced a bamboo scroll, "Iron Wall!"
A powerful force emanated from the bamboo slip, and a faint white light rose up, forming a wall in front of Kong Jia to block Huo Ling's attack.
"Ding Ling!"
However, as the sharp claws swooped down, a terrifying force spread out, instantly shattering the wall and falling straight towards Kong Jia.
Sensing the immense power of this attack, Kong Jia's eyes widened slightly in surprise. "The Cursed Spirit Technique truly lives up to its reputation!"
He dared not be careless and quickly dodged backward to avoid the bewitching spirit's claws.
But as soon as Kong Jia stood firm, he felt a terrifying killing intent coming from behind him. It was Huo Ling, who had somehow managed to sneak up behind him.
Almost at the same moment the black mist appeared, sharp claws swooped down, aiming straight for Kong Jia's face.
Kong Jia's gaze sharpened, and he shouted, "Indestructible!"
As soon as he spoke, a circular golden shield appeared around him, protecting Kong Jia's body.
Without the slightest hesitation, the bewitching spirit's claws, imbued with a chilling black aura, descended straight down. The terrifying power was as immense as a mountain pressing down, instantly shattering the golden protective shield.
Then it pressed straight down on Kong Jia's body.
With a flash of claws, several gashes opened on Kong Jia's chest, black energy emanating from the wounds and blood gushing out, instantly staining his scholar's robe crimson.
Ignoring the intense pain from his wound, Kong Jia frowned, "This is really bad timing."
Using the Cursed Spirit Technique already made the Bewitching Spirit several times stronger, but now that Kong Jia has just completed his enlightenment, both his aura and physical body are extremely weak.
The disparity between the enemy's strength and his own weakness immediately became apparent.
With a swift strike to Kong Jia, Huo Ling let out a cold snort, quite pleased with herself. "Old man! You used to chase after me relentlessly, today I'll make you regret it!"
Kong Jia's eyes turned cold. "You slaughtered countless cultivators to absorb resentment. I, an old man, am doing this to rid the people of a scourge, and I cannot spare you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Ling suddenly leaped into the air, black energy instantly appearing in front of him. He raised his claws high and slammed them down, heading straight for Kong Jia.
Faced with this powerful attack, Kong Jia dared not be careless. His eyes narrowed and he leaped backward, thus avoiding the attack from the Bewitching Spirit.
But just as he regained his footing, the bewitching spirit suddenly reappeared behind him, its sharp claws, imbued with a chilling black aura, slashing down again, heading straight for Kong Jia.
This time, Kong Jia did not dodge. He circulated his aura and summoned another bundle of bamboo slips, shouting, "Heavenly Net!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a surge of powerful Dao energy erupted from the bamboo slip, and a giant net appeared in the air. The net contained a rich Dao energy that instantly trapped the black mist.
The Yin energy around the bewitching spirit surged wildly, violently impacting the giant net and resisting it.
Kong Jia frowned, his aura surging towards the giant net, strengthening it in an attempt to control it.
After a few struggles, the giant net gradually quieted down, and the bewitching spirit seemed to have stopped moving.
Upon seeing this, Kong Jia's eyes flickered slightly, and he stared at the giant net with considerable tension.
Although this is also a very powerful secret technique of Confucianism, this bewitching spirit is an evil spirit that used the curse spirit technique. Even Kong Jia led a group of Confucian disciples to surround and kill the bewitching spirit. Unexpectedly, the bewitching spirit knew this forbidden technique and came back to life in a short time.
After using the Cursed Spirit Technique, the Bewitching Spirit's power becomes even greater, incomparable to before, and naturally should not be underestimated.
In the next instant, several black lights flashed, and the powerful force instantly cleaved the giant net in two. The bewitching spirit suddenly leaped out and instantly arrived in front of Kong Jia.
The claws swooped down with incredible speed, almost instantly sweeping past, the violent force sending Kong Jia's entire body flying backward, crashing to the ground with a thud.
The immense impact only caused the entire earth to tremble slightly.
Kong Jia stood up, his body covered in wounds, sweat beading on his forehead, and he was panting heavily.
He had already exhausted his strength, and now he was seriously injured, so his physical condition was extremely poor, and even his vision was becoming blurry.
Unfortunately, what they were facing now was the Bewitching Spirit, a being that had once struck fear into the hearts of countless cultivators. The number of cultivators who had died at its hands alone was at least tens of thousands.
Kong Jia's eyes darkened. "That's the only way!"
Having said that, he once again produced a bundle of bamboo slips and shouted, "The roc rises with the wind in a single day!"
As the bamboo slip was unleashed, its supreme Dao essence spread out, and the power on the bamboo slip began to surge wildly. Then, a giant roc appeared, surrounded by raging flames, its eyes flashing with a scarlet cold light, and its aura terrifying.
With a screech, the roc swooped down towards the bewitching spirit, its sharp claws slashing down, aiming straight for the bewitching spirit's body.
An ordinary claw strike contained immense Dao essence, its surging aura pressing down fiercely on the bewitching spirit.
Facing this attack, the bewitching spirit did not dodge at all. Its body darted forward and instantly appeared in front of the roc. Its sharp claws, carrying a chilling black aura, swooped down and collided with the roc's claws in an instant.
The two powerful forces collided, instantly creating a raging hurricane that shook the very void.
After a stalemate, the roc's claws proved stronger, and its surging power suddenly pressed down, causing the bewitching spirit's entire body to be ejected.
Without giving the bewitching spirit a chance to catch its breath, the roc's sharp claws flew out and pierced straight at the bewitching spirit that had crashed into the wall.
The bewitching spirit reacted extremely quickly, its figure flashing and disappearing from its original spot. The next instant, it appeared behind the roc, its sharp claws whistling down, instantly piercing through the roc's body with terrifying power.
