True Immortal of the Netherworld

Three updates.

The full moon is a bright lamp in the hands of the nocturnal goddess, working hard to illuminate this dark world.

In the sky under the moon, strange-shaped clouds sneaked past, their shadows accidentally covering the moonlight, and their shadows fell on the ground like laughing faces.

Ten miles southeast of Fang City, there is an unknown woodland.

The wind pushed the leaves on the treetops without rhythm, making a rustling sound, which seemed to be telling stories about ghosts in the dark night.

A large, thick tree occupies the center of the woodland.

Other short trees were hidden a little further away, leaving a larger open space around them. On the branches of the big tree, spiders have spun silk webs, like twisted strings that play the sounds of ghosts and gods.

On the ground under the big tree, a scarecrow as tall as a person stood poking there abruptly.

The scarecrow wears a ghost mask on its face. The left side of the mask is white and the right side is black. The left side is crying and the right side is laughing. On the scarecrow's chest, there is a yellow paper charm. There were mysterious bloody symbols painted on the charm, as if the chest had been torn open.

In the distance, two figures, covered in moonlight, walked side by side towards the forest.

Without him, it was Xu Yang and Mai Xiaoqi who came here as promised.

"Brother Xu Yang, do you think the fat shopkeeper really has the inner elixir of the Neptune Spirit Beast in his hand?" Mai Xiaoqi asked in a low voice.

"Maybe, maybe not. But there must be a ghost in his heart. Let's just play a game of catching ghosts when we come here." Xu Yang replied.

"Oh, Xiao Qi has never played the game of catching ghosts before." Mai Xiao Qi looked excited, as if he was an elf who specializes in haunting the night, with shining eyes and light steps.

Not long after, the two entered the forest.

"Ten miles southeast of Fang City, this is probably the ghost place." Xu Yang said.

Mai Xiaoqi suddenly stopped, his eyes widened, and he pointed in a direction.

"Brother Xu Yang, look what's under the big tree over there? It seems to be a real ghost, a ghost with a black and white face."

Xu Yang looked in the direction Mai Xiaoqi pointed.

At this moment, the ghost-masked scarecrow under the big tree seemed to see someone approaching it. A bloody aura flashed from the surface of the yellow paper charm on its chest. Its head turned slightly and looked at Xu Yang and Mai Xiaoqi.

Shockingly, a stream of dark green smoke came out from the mouth of the ghost mask on the scarecrow's head. In the smoke, the light and shadow of a palm-sized spider with a fierce appearance floated back and forth.

Frightened, Mai Xiaoqi quickly jumped back two steps. While lunging and pushing his hands, he emboldened himself and said, "I, Mai Xiaoqi, are a warrior from Luming Grassland. I am here to protect little brother Xu Yang. What the hell are you?" I'm not afraid of you."

The voice was loud, but fear was clearly written on his face.

Before he finished speaking, Mai Xiaoqi jumped behind Xu Yang, grabbed Xu Yang's arms with both hands, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Xu Yang, there really is a ghost."

Xu Yang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the scarecrow, thinking: "I, a disciple of the Heavenly Ghost Sect, deal with ghost techniques all day long. It is really a big joke to pretend to be a ghost in front of me. Real ghosts come from the underworld. Yes, I also want to have a drink with it."

Xu Yang stretched out one hand, flicked his fingertips, and shot out a magical light.

The magical light accurately landed on the yellow paper charm on the chest of the scarecrow opposite, exploding into a ball of golden light. The blood symbol on the yellow paper talisman was immediately erased.

Immediately, the dark green mist dissipated, and the spider's light and shadow disappeared.

The scarecrow moved one hand and turned out a sign. With the help of the moonlight, you can clearly see the eight words written on the sign: "Ghost Night Market, Fair Trade."

"It's a scarecrow, just wearing a mask with a ghost face. It should be here." Xu Yang looked at the scarecrow, "Not even a real person dares to come out. This kind of deal is really shady."

"Pretending to be a ghost, let Xiao Qi go over and burn the scarecrow." Mai Xiao Qi said angrily with wide eyes.

Xu Yang stretched out his hand to stop Mai Xiaoqi.

"Wait for me here, I'll go over and take a look first." Xu Yang said.

"Okay then." Mai Xiaoqi clenched a pair of small fists and stood there, constantly looking around.

Xu Yang walked to the scarecrow and took out a storage bag from his arms. He placed the storage bag at the Scarecrow's feet and opened the storage bag. A shiny white spiritual light emitted from the mouth of the bag, which was the unique brilliance of spiritual stones.

"Here are nine hundred high-grade spiritual stones, fair trade. Take out the inner elixir of the Neptune Spirit Beast and have a look." Xu Yang said loudly.

After saying that, he took two steps back.

The voice blessed with soul power rolled in the void, and the void buzzed.

After a moment, a silver spider silk fell from the canopy of the big tree. On the spider silk lay a black wolf spider as big as a fist.

The black wolf spider accurately landed on the storage bag Xu Yang placed on the ground, used its furry claws to deftly tie the mouth of the bag, and then hooked it tightly.

The black wolf spider was so strong that it quickly climbed back to the canopy carrying the storage bag. The crown of the tree is densely leafy, making it difficult to see the clues.

Xu Yang just watched and did not stop him.

"Come on, the Neptune Spirit Beast inner elixir you want is here." It was the scarecrow who made the voice.

Immediately afterwards, a small black box dragged by a spider silk fell from the crown of the big tree.

Seeing this, Xu Yang grabbed it from the air with one hand. An invisible force cut off the spider silk like a flying knife, and the small box on it flew into his palm spinning.

Xu Yang hurriedly opened the box, and a demon pill the size of a chestnut appeared. A ball of green light emitted from the surface of the demon pill, with the shadow of an eight-clawed sea beast twisting on the surface.

"It looks like a sea beast inner elixir. I need to take it back to determine the specific grade." Xu Yang re-covered the box and put it into his arms. "If this sea beast inner elixir reaches the level of the Sea King, even if Our deal is done."

"Farewell." Xu Yang was about to leave.

"Please stay," the scarecrow said.

"Is there anything else?" Xu Yang asked.

"There's still one deal that hasn't been completed."

"What deal?"

"Someone wants to buy the young master's life."

"My life, Xu Xiaoxian, is too expensive. No one in the world can afford it."

...

Suddenly, the ground shook violently and rumbled.

With the big tree as the center, a huge spider web-like rune formation appeared on the ground. The surface of the formation flashed with interlaced silvery colors, like the fangs exposed by a night ghost.

Xu Yang and even Mai Xiaoqi, who was a little further away, immediately fell into this huge talisman formation.

On the ground, clusters of soil rolled, and then pieces of yellow ghost symbols emerged. There were as many as thirty or forty in number. If you look carefully, you will see that there is a scarecrow wearing a mask with a ghost face painted on the surface of those ghost symbols.

Puff puff puff, puff puff puff.

Yellow ghost symbols exploded one after another, and dozens of scarecrows wearing ghost masks appeared in the bloody mist.

They look very similar, but the masks on their faces are surprisingly consistent, just like the scarecrow under the big tree.

Xu Yang's consciousness swept away and he immediately made a judgment and said: "Xiao Qi, be careful, these are ghosts."

The soul-sacrifice puppet technique of the Tao lineage. They are not their real bodies, and the guys who control these puppets are still hiding in the dark. "

The Soul Sacrifice Puppet Technique is originally a forbidden technique. The soul of a living person is imprisoned on a talisman or other object using evil secret methods, and then controlled through magic spells.

Since this technique is tantamount to sacrificing human life, it is classified as a forbidden technique by the Zhengdao Sect.

When Mai Xiaoqi heard this, a green light flashed under his feet, and like a nimble deer, he jumped in front of Xu Yang.

The two stood back to back, making the best defensive posture.

Mai Xiaoqi said sternly: "Mai Xiaoqi from Luming Prairie is here to catch ghosts today."

"Spider webs form an array, and puppets lock their souls." The fat shopkeeper's voice came out of the void, but people couldn't figure out where it came from for a moment.

"You two have good qualifications. Just be one of my plant puppets. An immortal soul means eternal life."

Jie Jie Jie. The strange laughter is like a ghost.

The next moment, dozens of puppet scarecrows surrounded Xu Yang and Mai Xiaoqi.

Each of these guys is carrying a murderous weapon in their hands, including swords, guns and clubs, and bows and crossbows.

Swish swish, swish swish.

There was a sound of breaking through the air, and the puppet scarecrow holding a crossbow took the lead in attacking.

A feather of flying arrows whizzes in the night, and it is difficult to catch the trajectory of the arrow.

Xu Yang's consciousness moved, and the Golden Crow Buddha flame in the Purple Mansion space within his body moved flexibly.

A band of golden flying fire emerged from the surface of Xu Yang's body.

The golden flying fire twisted its body and turned into a three-legged golden crow in an instant, spinning rapidly around the bodies of Xu Yang and Mai Xiaoqi.

At the same time, Xu Yang quickly used the magic formula with both hands.

"Secret Technique - Flame Spirit Shield!"

In an instant, a golden shield of flowing fire protected Xu Yang and Mai Xiaoqi like a large upside-down bowl. On the surface of the mask, a three-legged golden crow spits out the fire of the sun, and Sanskrit characters are scattered neatly.

Those flying arrows burrowed into the surface of the golden flame shield, and were immediately blocked and burned by the powerful power of the flame spirit.

Even though the tip of the arrow was made of fine iron, it turned red and soft under the calcination of the flame spirit. It lost all its attack power and turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.

Looking from a distance, the arrows shot around him splashed apertures on the surface of the golden flowing flame mask. But it couldn't harm Xu Yang and Mai Xiaoqi inside.

Xu Yang's body contained the Yuanmo Vein Sealing Curse Seal planted by the purple-robed man not long ago. The Buddha's spiritual veins, Daoguo spiritual veins, and Heavenly Ghost spiritual veins in his body were sealed and closed, leaving only half of the Haoran Heavenly Veins. And the golden light state of mind he originally cultivated was also blessed with magic pattern chains and could not be used.

Although Xu Yang's current cultivation level is still at the peak of the Demonic Whirlpool Realm, he can only perform at 30% of his original level.

The man in purple robe planted the seal, but it had no effect on the three-color magic vortex in Xu Yang's body. His purpose was to force Xu Yang to use the magic swirling power in his body when he unleashed his maximum combat power.

And with the continuous use of the power of the magic vortex, Xu Yang's martial arts body will become more and more demonic, and the blood of the Yuan Demon King in his body will become more and more consistent with his martial arts body. If Xu Yang breaks through to the Yuan Soul Realm, the Yuanying in his body must be a demonic Yuanying, and then Xu Yang will have to embark on the path of demonic cultivation.

As for Xu Yang's true combat performance, no one knows, and even he himself has not accurately judged it. No one knows the upper limit of the power contained in the three alien gates in the three-color magic whirlpool.

At the moment, Xu Yang will try not to use the power of the three-color magic spin when fighting the enemy. This is his trump card. Once used, only God knows the result.

...

The Feather Arrow offensive was fruitless, and the straw puppets holding swords swarmed forward.
