The Ice Seal spell failed?
Xuan Qingye had never encountered this situation before; it was too bizarre.
“They are all vengeful ghosts, actually the souls of the dead,” Su Qing explained. “They cannot be blocked by physical objects, and this is the only way to deal with them.”
As Su Qing spoke, a blue flame appeared in her hand.
Netherflame!
The Heavenly Flame was ejected by Su Qing, and a single blue flame landed on the child running ahead. The child screamed and was instantly engulfed by the blue flame.
The woman behind tried to escape, but it was too late. A spark of flame landed on the head of the child in her arms, and the infant screamed and disappeared. The woman was also engulfed in flames and quickly vanished!
Su Qing stared coldly at the strange old man opposite her.
This demonic cultivator is absolutely ruthless!
In order to obtain the vengeful spirit, they even preyed on children and pregnant women!
Children and pregnant women of mortals are most likely to become vengeful ghosts. Although they cannot match the combat power of cultivators, they are many times stronger than ordinary vengeful ghosts!
The strange old man released the child and the pregnant woman simply to test them.
Hmph, they're obviously cultivators from the Xuanling Sect, early Foundation Establishment cultivators. They've just stepped out of the sect, their minds are simple, and many of them can't bring themselves to harm children and pregnant women.
He used this to kill several Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Xuanling Sect.
I never expected that this pretty little girl, who is so young, would be so ruthless!
They even knew how to use fire. Those two ghosts that were released as cannon fodder were burned to ashes in the blink of an eye!
However, it doesn't matter, since his Yin-Yang Banner is full of vengeful ghosts anyway.
Black smoke rose again, and at this moment, a large number of fierce ghosts emerged, their roars, curses, and shouts filling the air.
Finally, three young men emerged from the Yin-Yang Banner, all of them dressed in the disciple robes of the Xuanling Sect!
Su Qing and Xuan Qingye took a deep breath. The Xuanling Sect disciple had also had his soul taken!
"Die!" Su Qing was already burning with rage.
Demonic cultivator!
It must be eradicated.
In fact, this strange old man's real name is Bai Keren. He was originally a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but he only managed to successfully establish his foundation at the age of seventy.
Forget about forming your core in this lifetime.
However, Bai Ke refused to accept his fate. He was determined to cultivate, and no matter what method he used, he refused to cultivate to the Core Formation stage because he did not want to die!
And so, he became a demonic cultivator!
Bai Keren had no mercy and had once slaughtered hundreds of ordinary people in an entire village, including twenty-three children and ten pregnant women.
Afterwards, Bai Keren secluded himself in Bone Nether Ridge for fifteen years to refine the Yin Yang Banner.
For the past fifteen years, he has secretly hunted down many sect disciples who came to Bone Nether Ridge for training.
These three Xuanling Sect disciples were assassinated by him, and his souls were extracted and used to refine the Yin-Yang Banner.
Now, Bai Keren's combat power is equivalent to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. He feels that in a place like Bone Nether Ridge, his combat power is comparable to that of a Core Formation stage cultivator!
As long as demonic cultivators drink blood, they will never die, which is why Bai Keren is extremely thirsty for blood.
Seeing Su Qing and Xuan Qingye, he could no longer suppress his desires.
The souls of three Xuanling Sect disciples are enough to break through your psychological defenses. When your minds are in chaos, we will take the lives of these two, suck their blood, and collect their souls.
These two seem to have good aptitude; if they succeed, their cultivation levels will definitely rise further!
While thinking about the good things, Bai Keren stuck out his tongue and licked his slightly chapped lips.
Su Qing took a deep breath and looked again at the three souls dressed in the robes of the Xuanling Sect disciples.
The three souls had long been refined by Bai Keren, their bodies covered in black energy, and they had completely fallen into vengeful ghosts!
Su Qing sighed inwardly. It was pitiful that someone would perish while training in the Bone Nether Ridge. However, her pity would end there. Even if she were to face a vengeful ghost transformed from a disciple of the Xuanling Sect, she would not show any mercy!
"I will avenge you, so you can go in peace!"
As Su Qing spoke, the blue Netherflame in her hand suddenly ignited, transforming into a fireball in her palm.
Su Qing picked up a fireball and hurled it at the Xuanling Sect disciple who was the first to rush forward. The fireball hit the disciple's head, and a crackling sound could be heard.
As the blue skyfire and black mist collided, the vengeful ghost brought a sword gleaming with a dark gray light toward Su Qing's face.
At this moment, a sinister and malicious expression, which did not belong to him, appeared on the disciple's face.
A shield of fire blocked Su Qing's path.
After the dark gray sword pierced the fire shield, it immediately turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared.
At the same time, the Xuanling Sect disciple also burned to ashes in the blue heavenly fire.
Over there, a Xuanling Sect disciple transformed into a vengeful ghost rushed towards Xuan Qingye.
Xuan Qingye knew that freezing magic was useless against vengeful ghosts, but that didn't mean he had no other means!
Xuan Qingye raised the sword in her hand. This was the Shattered Moon Blue Ice Sword, forged from the demon crystal of an eighth-order Ice Marrow Worm. The Shattered Moon Blue Ice Sword was no ordinary sword. It contained an ancient sword obtained from the Sword Tomb and also had a weapon spirit.
Xuan Qingye practices the sword technique of the Extinction Sword, which is personally taught by the sect leader. It has sixteen moves, and Xuan Qingye has now mastered the tenth move.
With a mere touch of the Shattered Moon Blue Ice Sword, the vengeful ghost was rendered immobile, as if its pressure points had been struck.
But suddenly he opened his mouth wide, his tongue sticking out long, and went toward Xuan Qingye's neck.
Xuan Qingye swiftly slashed twice, freezing the long tongue until it shattered on the ground. At the same time, the Shattered Moon Blue Ice Sword touched the vengeful ghost, instantly shattering it into a pile of fragments.
Seeing its companions annihilated in an instant, the last vengeful ghost pointed into the void, and black smoke enveloped its body, transforming into a suit of black armor.
It seems that this vengeful ghost is the most powerful of the three. It was probably already at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage when it was killed by Bai Keren!
"Run!" The vengeful ghost told them to run, but it had already leaped up and attacked Su Qing and Xuan Qingye.
He still retained a sliver of consciousness, but he had completely lost control of himself.
Su Qing sighed, thinking it best to let him get rid of this quickly!
A Purple Lightning Frost appeared in his hand, its purple light swirling around the blade. Together with the blue light emanating from Xuan Qingye's Shattered Moon Blue Ice Sword, it fell upon the vengeful ghost. The ghost's black armor was enveloped and dissolved by the purple lightning and the blue icy aura, eventually engulfing it.
But the vengeful ghost curled into a satisfied smile.
"Bang!"
Black smoke burst open and then slowly dissipated in the air.
The strange old man, Bai Keren, appeared on the other side.
