Chapter 141: Cutting the Flesh Again
It was not until the three of them entered the mountain for a while that they used the form-hiding technique combined with illusion to escape into the mountain.
Because they were not far away, they saw Menghua and the other two enter an invisible cloud tent and disappear.
Gong Mengbi hadn't shown up, taking advantage of the information gap. Menghua was being pursued by the enemy, who used endless tactics along the way. In addition, Gong Mengbi knew that this was the disciple of the Yin-Yang Dharma King, so he had some understanding of the Taoist priest in the apricot yellow robe.
However, the Taoist priest in the apricot-yellow robe only knew about Menghua and Wen Mengchun, and perhaps suspected that there was a third person, but he could not confirm it.
Gong Mengbi then threw out the Yaksha ghost to reduce his vigilance and hid himself behind it, so as to achieve a surprise effect.
Among them, Menghua's information was crucial, because Gong Mengbi knew almost nothing about the enemy and relied entirely on Menghua and Wen Mengchun for information.
There is no need to worry about Wen Mengchun, as he is a person who is not very sensitive to fighting.
But Menghua entered Taoism earlier than him, and had a higher level of Taoism. He practiced the art of flying swords. He happened to be very good at fighting and very sensitive to battles.
When Gong Mengbi was exchanging information with Menghua, Menghua had said, "He's been chasing us all this time, revealing only two abilities. One is the Yin and Yang Ghosts, which are his powerful weapons in battle. Now that you've captured the Yang Ghost, you've cut off one of his fingers. The other is the Spiritual Incarnation, which is the absolute advantage that sixth-rank cultivators have over us. The Spiritual Incarnation is invisible and elusive, greatly increasing the power of their magic."
Gong Mengbi believed there must be a third method. "I once fought against a disciple of the Yin-Yang Dharma King. Although he was not very skilled, I could tell he possessed at least two methods. One was the Yin-Yang Ghosts, and the other was the Yin-Yang Twin Swords. The Yin-Yang Ghosts are obvious, but the Yin-Yang Twin Swords are magical instruments. If the Dao is passed down through the generations, then he must have at least one other set of Yin-Yang magical instruments, perhaps swords, or something else."
Meng Hua nodded, then shook his head. "Perhaps there are some Yin-Yang magical instruments, but they're definitely not swords. I practice the art of flying swordsmanship. In swordsmanship, the killing intent is paramount. It's crucial to achieve victory with a single strike. If that fails, we must flee thousands of miles away. But judging by the way he's been chasing us, it doesn't seem like he's into swordsmanship."
This is both an advantage and a disadvantage. If it is the Yin-Yang Swords, there will definitely not be a lot of nonsense to say. The person must be subdued first and then other things can be said. This is the character of the sword immortal and also the characteristic of the flying sword technique.
The disadvantage is that swordsmanship is good at killing, while other magical weapons have more uses and may not be easier to deal with than swordsmanship.
Gong Mengbi had an idea in mind, but the solution to break the impasse was neither in the Yin and Yang ghosts nor in the Yin and Yang magic weapons, but in his sixth-grade practice.
Back to the present, Gong Mengbi lit the small golden incense burner, and smoke curled up. He activated the Taiyue talisman and chanted spells and prayers to summon ghosts and gods. Then, out of the smoke walked the ghost soldiers, lightly dressed, holding big crows and leading big black dogs.
Gong Mengbi looked at the souls of the evil dogs, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows twitched.
The leading ghost soldier bowed and saluted, saying, "Greetings to the Fox Fairy. I am here on the orders of General Feihu to search for the Fox Fairy's evil ways."
Gong Mengbi returned the greeting and said, "Thank you."
After that, he put out straw men for them to cling to so as not to be harmed by the scorching sun.
This small group of ghost soldiers attached themselves to the straw man and immediately disappeared into the mountains and forests.
Gong Mengbi was not idle either. He caught the wind and smelled the air to find the evil breath in the wind.
Things really needed to be handled professionally. Gong Mengbi found nothing, but the team of straw soldiers quickly came back to report, saying, "The fox fairy has found the traces of the evil path!"
Gong Mengbi's eyes lit up, then withdrew again and said, "Please lead the way."
The straw man magic soldier immediately led the way, Gong Mengbi followed closely behind, and stopped not far from a dead pine tree. The rest of the magic soldiers hid here and watched.
The straw man said, "The evil is hiding in the belly of the dead pine. Although it is covered by magic tools, it cannot escape our perception of living people. To avoid alerting the snake, we immediately report it to the fox fairy."
Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "Thank you, my divine soldiers."
These magical soldiers nodded and disappeared in front of Gong Mengbi, leaving only the straw man on the ground, which was put back into Gong Mengbi's sleeve.
Gong Mengbi half-closed his eyes and looked at the tall dead pine tree, hiding the murderous intent in his eyes.
Then he stretched out his hand and a spark fell on the dead pine tree, instantly igniting a raging fire.
The fire burned the dead wood and the smoke rose into the sky.
A stream of white smoke emerged from the dead wood, forcing the flames away.
Inside the cloud tent, the Taoist in the apricot-yellow robe suddenly changed his expression, "How dare you!"
He no longer cared about the three enemies in front of him who were about to be captured, but handed over the control of the Diyin Flag to Madam Diyin, and then disappeared into the cloud tent in an instant.
Outside the dead tree, the clouds rolled and forced the flames away.
The flames danced like a leaping fox, and the burning dead pine not only emitted burnt smoke but also a very pleasant pine scent.
The dead pine tree cracked open, and a Taoist priest in an apricot-yellow robe flew out wrapped in clouds. He turned around and looked at the dead pine tree that was blazing with flames. His eyes were like lightning, and he looked around, but he noticed nothing.
At this moment, the Taoist in the apricot-yellow robe suddenly heard two voices.
"Brother, why did a fire suddenly break out in the mountains?"
"I don't know, it seems like there's some magical power at work. Let's go down and take a look."
The Taoist in the apricot-yellow robe's expression suddenly changed, and he saw two Taoist children coming from the sky on the wind.
The Taoist priest in the apricot-yellow robe rolled up the cloud flag on his body, and it turned into two golden lights and pierced the two Taoist children.
The cloud flag flew up, and at that moment, a ball of sparks exploded from the dead pine tree. A red light burst out from the sparks and in a moment it slashed towards the Taoist in the apricot-yellow robe.
The Taoist reacted extremely quickly. He moved his mind and body, and the cloud flag turned again, turning into a cloud of smoke and enveloping the sword light.
But in an instant, a point of silver light suddenly flew out from the ground, like thunder breaking through the sky, and swept across the air.
The moment the silver light touched his body, the Taoist slapped out a palm with Yin-Yang thunder, but it disappeared into thin air in the sword light.
The sword flashed and cut the Taoist into two pieces.
A white light burst out from the Taoist priest and disappeared in front of the dead tree in an instant.
The two Taoist boys in the air were pierced by the golden light and turned into two streams of smoke and disappeared.
In the cloud tent, Menghua and the Yaksha ghost were trying their best to resist Madam Diyin and were about to be defeated.
But they saw a white light falling on Madam Diyin, and Madam Diyin's expression changed. She didn't even look at them, grabbed the Diyin flag and disappeared without a trace.
The cloud curtain dispersed, and Menghua and Yaksha Ghost collapsed to the ground, unable to move.
Wen Mengchun was very afraid that the ghosts would come back, so he used his magic power to lift them up and fly towards the place where the fire was.
When they arrived in front of the burning dead pine, they saw two willow-leaf-sized flying swords, one white and one red, falling to the ground and trembling slightly. A white cloud flag fell to the ground, but its brilliance continued to fade.
The most important thing was a corpse that was chopped into two pieces and wrapped in an apricot yellow Taoist robe. It was none other than the evil Taoist.
"Brother Gong! Brother Gong!" Wen Mengchun called out.
"Here, here!" The Yaksha ghost pointed to a spot on the ground and said, "There's a sound here."
Wen Mengchun immediately dug up the soil and saw a hollow hole underground. A red fox was hiding in the hole, motionless.
"Brother Gong!"
