Chapter 257: The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind
Gao Huohuo and Su Ruoyun flew on their swords, and the journey was calm and peaceful. The silence around them was a little eerie.
However, Zhong Hanshang and Jing seemed to have stepped into another world full of dangers.
Not long after they separated from Gao Huohuo and the others, an eerie chill suddenly filled the air.
In the thick, inky darkness, a group of ghosts pounced out with their fangs and claws bared.
Zhong Hanshang was glad that he didn't let Gao Huohuo and Jing go together.
Otherwise, how could two people at the Jindan stage defeat each other?
These ghosts emit green ghost fire all over their bodies, and their shrill cries echo in the empty space, which is creepy.
Zhong Hanshang's expression changed, and he instantly drew out the Jinghong Sword. The sword flashed with cold light and sword energy filled the air.
Every time he swung his sword, it brought out a sharp sword wind.
Wherever it went, ghosts dissipated and turned into wisps of green smoke.
His swordsmanship is sharp and precise, and every move is deadly, showing his profound cultivation and extraordinary strength.
Jing, who was following behind Zhong Hanshang, pretended to be resisting with all his might, and waved the magic weapon in his hand casually a few times;
In fact, he didn't do anything at all and was just observing Zhong Hanshang secretly.
Zhong Hanshang is indeed a Divine Transformation cultivator. Facing the attacks of so many ghosts, he was able to handle them with ease.
It seems that it is not easy to capture Zhong Hanshang in this Soul Devouring Pearl. I can only wait patiently for the right opportunity.
Thinking of this, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Jing's eyes.
On the other side, Gao Huohuo and Su Ruoyun walked for a while, and suddenly a large wave of ghosts appeared in front of them.
Gao Huohuo was completely bewildered, muttering to himself, "Why does this feel like I'm in a 3D movie theater? Or a special screening of a horror movie?"
However, the ghosts in movies are all special effects, but hers are real "original products".
Fortunately, she has never been afraid of ghosts. Besides, she has cultivated immortality, so dealing with these ghosts should be easy, right?
She pulled out the purple shadow whip and lashed at the ghost in front of her.
In an instant, dazzling streaks of lightning crisscrossed in the darkness, illuminating the surroundings as bright as day.
Before the ghost could get close, it was struck by the powerful force of thunder and lightning and turned into nothing in an instant, unable to get close to her and Su Ruoyun at all.
Gao Huohuo smiled complacently: "It seems that this evil creature is afraid of thunder and lightning, no matter where it goes."
She turned to Su Ruoyun and asked, "Fellow Daoist Su, you said that the ghosts of the Soul Devouring Orb will disappear as soon as a group dies?
Or is there something that can produce it continuously?"
Su Ruoyun nodded thoughtfully:
"That's right! If one group dies, there will be one less group. Then if we kill all these ghosts, won't the Soul Devouring Orb be useless?
It won't be easy for us to get out of here, right?"
Gao Huohuo slapped his thigh and said, "Friend Su, why don't we go a little further in? Maybe we can find their lair."
Su Ruoyun smiled slightly: "As expected, you are my partner who has experienced the same things together. Our ideas coincide with each other."
Gao Huohuo waved his hand proudly:
"Let's go! Kill this wave of ghosts and get out as soon as possible. I'm sure Fellow Daoist Zhong is worried about you too."
The first half of the sentence was normal, but after hearing the second half, Su Ruoyun was confused:
"Zhong Hanshang is worried about me? Shouldn't he be worried about you? What does it have to do with me?"
Gao Huohuo didn't even think about it and said directly:
"Don't you two like each other? Isn't it right for him to worry about you?"
Su Ruoyun was stunned: What? Did I hear it right?
If it weren't for Gao Huohuo's sincere eyes, she would have suspected that this was a test of her.
"We like each other? Huo Huo, who told you that?"
Gao Huohuo said as if it was a matter of course: "I saw it myself, and Jing thinks so too."
Su Ruoyun was at a loss for words: "How did you know that? How come I don't know anything about it?"
Gao Huohuo blinked: "Oh, stop pretending, everyone can see it.
You see, Daoist Zhong will come to you alone as soon as he sees you."
Su Ruoyun shook her head helplessly: "Huohuo, your imagination is too rich."
Even if Zhong Hanshang likes someone, it is Gao Huohuo that she likes, but she herself is completely unaware of it.
Gao Huohuo chuckled and said, "If we want to know whether it's true or not, we can go out and ask Fellow Daoist Zhong and find out."
Su Ruoyun sighed: "You should first think about how to deal with these ghosts."
Gao Huohuo waved the purple shadow whip and said, "Don't worry, these ghosts are just a piece of cake for me.
However, Fellow Daoist Su, if you are shy, I can help you pass on the message!"
Su Ruoyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You should just focus on dealing with the ghosts and stop worrying about it."
On the other side, seeing the ghosts he sent out being easily dispelled by Gao Huohuo, Jing suddenly became extremely anxious.
He frowned and thought to himself:
"Gao Huohuo is really hard to deal with. The ghosts pose no threat to her. It seems we have to find another way."
His eyes rolled, a plan came to mind, and with a seemingly friendly smile on his face, he said to Zhong Hanshang:
"Friend Zhong, we've been searching for so long but have found nothing. Why don't we ask Miss Su and the others about the situation? Maybe we can find some new clues."
Zhong Hanshang was already worried about Gao Huohuo's safety, and when he heard Jing say this, he immediately nodded in agreement.
But he was a little wary in his heart: "Jing is always a thoughtful guy. He suddenly suggested looking for Su Ruoyun and the others. Is there some conspiracy?"
However, he didn't show it on his face, and just responded calmly: "Okay, let's go back and take a look."
The two returned to the original place together and searched for a long time in the direction where Gao Huohuo left, but they didn't even see their shadow.
Zhong Hanshang's expression gradually became solemn, with some worry in his eyes.
Junior Sister Gao’s soul was already injured, and now she’s nowhere to be found. I hope nothing happens to her.
What made him even more helpless was that the magical powers within the Soul Devouring Pearl were blocked and could not be used at all, and contacting Gao Huohuo was extremely difficult.
Thinking of this, Zhong Hanshang became extremely anxious and no longer cared about the scenery behind him.
He tapped his toes lightly, leaped onto the magic sword, and rushed forward like an arrow.
When Zhong Hanshang's figure disappeared in the distance, a strange smile immediately appeared on Jing's face.
He was secretly delighted: "Zhong Hanshang has really taken the bait. Now I can let go and do my own thing."
Without hesitation, he turned around and walked in the other direction.
However, shortly after Jing left, a dark shadow returned quietly.
It was Zhong Hanshang who was wearing the holy light robe.
He hid in the dark, watching Jing Yuan's back, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
There is indeed something wrong with this guy Jing. His proposal just now was just to get me out of the way.
I want to see what he is planning.
He followed Jing quietly, wanting to find out what was going on.
After a while, Zhong Hanshang saw Jing stop at one place, quickly forming seals with his hands, as if he was casting some kind of spell.
Zhong Hanshang's heart tightened and he approached cautiously, wanting to see clearly what Jing was doing.
But just as he approached, an invisible force surrounded him like a solid wall, preventing him from moving forward.
Zhong Hanshang looked up, but Jing was nowhere to be seen.
Only then did he realize that Jing had already expected him to follow and had deliberately set this trap to lure him into it.
Zhong Hanshang sneered in his heart: "Very good, it seems that my guess is correct, this Jing really has bad intentions.
He thinks he can trap me like this, he really underestimates me."
