“Three Purities Edict!”
Mingyue shouted delicately, using her slender fingers to draw a Talisman in the air. She bent her index finger and directly flicked the talisman out.
“Young Master, do you have any weapons?” Gentle Breeze said to me, “Although I don’t know Talisman Magic, I am proficient in all eighteen types of weapons!”
I searched in my Seed Bag. The eighteen types of weapons, right? Isn’t it just swords, spears, sabers, halberds, axes, polearms, hooks, forks, whips, hammers, tridents, daggers, staffs, poles, sticks, spears, and halberds? Although I might not be skilled at them, I should still have some in my collection.
Well, it turns out I didn’t have any of those; I only had a sword and a knife.
The sword was that one with only a Sword Sheath and a hilt; it was a Wakizashi.
“Here.” I tossed the Wakizashi to Gentle Breeze: “Make do with this; I don’t have anything else.”
“What is this thing?” Gentle Breeze caught the Wakizashi: “It doesn’t look much like a sword or a knife, but it should be suitable for hacking.”
“Do as you wish; it doesn’t matter if you break it.” Given Gentle Breeze's strength, breaking this knife would take just a moment.
“Forget it; at least it's a weapon. I’ll make do with it.” Gentle Breeze performed a standard sword flourish with the Wakizashi, adopting an even more standard sword stance as he charged towards the Evil Body.
“Young Master, we will hold off these Evil Bodies for you. You just need to find a way to break this Spell.” Mingyue's voice came from within the black mist. At the same time, an Evil Body was shattered by a strike of the Golden Light Spell.
Although I didn’t quite understand why Mingyue could use my exclusive Pardon, since they could help me fend off these Evil Bodies, I would have time to deal with Ghost Fangzi.
As long as I subdued Ghost Fangzi, this Spell should be able to be broken, right?
Looking at the hilt and the Sword Sheath in my hand, I resolutely drew out the hilt. My mana surged in my hand, coalescing into a massive light sword. Stepping onto the light sword, it lifted me into the air.
Sword Control Technique!!!
“Ghost Fangzi, come out!!!” I shouted loudly.
“Caw Caw, I am Black Wuchang. I didn’t expect you to have two helpers there made from Ginseng Fruit Seed refined into Disciple Puppet, huh? Ginger Daoist is quite generous!”
Puppet? Yes, Clear Wind and Bright Moon should be a more advanced type of Puppet.
“Ghost Fangzi, stop wasting time with me. Let me tell you, inside this Demon Coffin, there is actually the corpse of a Golden Crow.”
“I know,” Ghost Fangzi replied lightly.
“You know?” I looked at Ghost Fangzi in surprise.
He actually knew that inside the Demon Coffin was the corpse of a Golden Crow? Then why was he here? He couldn't use the Essence of Blood or the Sun True Fire from the Golden Crow!
“Who told you I came here for the Golden Crow Essence and the Sun True Fire?” Ghost Fangzi looked at me with some amusement, as if he could guess what I was thinking.
“Is there anything else here that could attract you? Could it be that Cold Jade Mountain?” I pointed to the mountain in the distance and asked.
“Haha! That kind of Cold Jade isn't worth anything!” Ghost Fangzi laughed heartily. “The Demon Gods of the Underworld can create countless Cold Jade Mountains with just a wave of their hand. However, there is indeed something valuable on that Cold Jade Mountain. It's just that you, mere mortals, can't recognize its worth!”
On the Cold Jade Mountain? There are even more valuable things? What could it be? I looked towards the direction of the Cold Jade Mountain and suddenly understood.
Corpses! The corpse of a Golden Crow!
Who is the Golden Crow? It is a creature comparable to divine beasts like the Qilin! Its corpse must be priceless! Indeed, in my hands, I could not make any use of it.
After all, the flesh of a Golden Crow, even if I cut it up to sell as lamb skewers, would be impossible since it can withstand the ** of the Sun True Fire. What ordinary flame could roast it? Are you kidding?
But, Ghost Fangzi is not an ordinary person! He is an Evil Cultivator! The top Evil Cultivator!
The corpse of a Golden Crow in his hands would be incredibly useful!
If nothing else, if Ghost Fangzi were to refine the Golden Crow into a Zombie Ba, that would not be something that just inviting a White Dragon could solve.
“Your goal is the corpse of the Golden Crow?”
“That's right,” Ghost Fangzi said with a strange smile. “What troubles me most is the Sun True Fire on the Golden Crow. I didn't expect you to have resolved it.”
"Damn it, I actually helped Ghost Fangzi."
"Whoosh!" A sudden cold wind blew from behind me. When I turned around, the body of the Golden Crow flew up!
The Golden Crow spread its wings, blocking the sun! Without the Sun True Fire, the Golden Crow was a large black bird with three legs, the middle one being golden, and three strands of golden feathers on its head.
"How is this possible?" I stared blankly at the large bird. "How could it happen so quickly?"
Even if Ghost Fangzi was an Evil Cultivator, he couldn't have refined the Golden Crow into a Zombie so fast. It takes many years to create a Zombie Ba, let alone using the Golden Crow to do so.
"Caw Caw, I am Black Wuchang. Is it really impossible? As long as things return to their rightful owner, isn't that enough?"
Return to their rightful owner? What does that mean?
"Brother Ghost, thank you." The Golden Crow spoke. "I didn't expect that after all these years, I would still have a chance to come back."
Come back? What does that mean?
"We're just taking what we need," Ghost Fangzi said lightly. "Golden Crow, your goal has been achieved; what about my benefits?"
"Hehe," the Golden Crow laughed. "I won't forget. How about this? I'll find your true body; you still need a physical form now, right? This child is not bad!"
The child referred to by the Golden Crow must be me.
With a flap of its wings, the Golden Crow broke through the space of the Demon Coffin and left behind only Ghost Fangzi.
Ghost Fangzi's target must now have shifted to me.
"Child, what you took out earlier was the Judgment Seal, right?" Ghost Fangzi asked.
"So what if it is?" I replied.
"Haha! Help me!" Ghost Fangzi laughed. "With your Seal, my plan will be much simpler!"
Judgment Seal can communicate with the passage between yin and yang, or is it the kind that Black and White Impermanence can open at any time? Could it be that Ghost Fangzi still has plans for the Underworld?
"Want the Judgment Seal? You'd better put me down first." I don't know where the courage came from, but I shouted at Ghost Fangzi: "Three Purities Edict!!!"
A Seal began to move under my tongue.
Yang Fire!
Here, Yang Fire can be activated because there is still a residual solar aura from the Golden Crow, allowing Yang Fire to be used.
Although my Azure Lotus Flame is actually a rank higher than Yang Fire, when it comes to dealing with Evil Energy, Yang Fire is more practical.
"Boom!!!" A fierce flame erupted from my mouth, heading straight for Ghost Fangzi.
With a gentle wave of his hand, Ghost Fangzi unleashed a surge of Evil Energy, countering my Yang Fire. While Yang Fire does not fear Evil Energy, it cannot withstand the sheer volume!
It's like if the levee breaks here and you hand me an "aB"—that thing won't help prevent leakage at all!
The current situation with Yang Fire is similar; the amount I can use is barely larger than a lighter's flame. With another wave of his hand, Ghost Fangzi extinguished it.
However, I didn't expect this little flame to have much effect; I was mainly hoping to buy some time. But I never imagined it wouldn't even delay him for long.
Still, there should be enough time left; it's time for my big move!
"Three Purities Edict, Daoist Law of Correct Origin, divine presence descends upon mortals, slay demons and eliminate evil!"
Summoning Technique!!!
This move might be a bit of a gamble, but it has always had some effect. Moreover, my magical power has increased significantly; the deity I summon may not reach the level of a Great Immortal, but surely I won't end up summoning Mao Ri Xing Jun again?
After waiting for a long time, the Summoning Technique surprisingly showed no effect. Could it be that within the Demon Coffin, the Summoning Technique doesn't work?
"Swish!!!!" A brilliant golden light burst forth below!
I looked down and saw Gentle Breeze.
Gentle Breeze slowly floated up, radiating golden light all over. The light gradually contracted, forming a "swastika" above Gentle Breeze's head.
"Swastika"? That's a symbol of Buddhism.
Gentle Breeze slowly opened his eyes: "Amitabha! Benefactor, do you have any wine?"
I was speechless.
It seems the deity I summoned has entered Gentle Breeze's body, but it doesn't seem like a serious one.
A deity who asks for wine right off the bat? From Buddhism?
"Are you Ji Gong???"
"Ji Gong??" Gentle Breeze looked at me in confusion: "Who is that? When the monk was in the mortal realm, his Dharma name was Dao Ji."
Don't be ridiculous, that's you.
"Aren't you from Buddhism? I summoned you like this?"
"Hey, I was wondering too. I was just visiting Supreme Old Lord when a beam of light pulled me down."
"Why didn't you refuse?"
"I thought, if someone from the mortal realm is looking for me, there should be some offerings. With Buddha watching, drinking and eating meat would be difficult!" 'Dao Ji' habitually waved his hand. It finally dawned on me that he must still be thinking about his fan.
"Well, let's put off the meal for now. Can you help me get rid of that thing?" I pointed at Ghost Fangzi.
Ji Gong turned around: "Ghost Fangzi?"
"You're familiar with this, aren't you?"
"This is just a Severed Soul of Ghost Fangzi, senior. Can you handle it?"
"Well," Ji Gong said with a troubled expression, "you know I'm just a monk."
"What does being a monk have to do with it? Just use your Shaolin skills! Master Daoji, there's no need to be modest!" I was still being polite.
"Amitabha Buddha, that's not it."
"Are you hungry then? Don't worry, I still have plenty of food on me."
"That's not the issue, benefactor. I'm just someone filling in under Buddha. The Dragon Subduing Arhat—it's really nothing special. I'm basically just swatting flies for Buddha."
"I see..."
"Essentially, I'm like a secretary. If you want me to deal with an ordinary person, that's fine, but this Ghost Fangzi... benefactor, you'd better rely on yourself."
Are you kidding me?
