White lightning spread, dispersing the red mist within a hundred zhang(丈: zhang is a unit of length) radius. This strike came quickly and left quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the lightning dissipated.
The bronze pillar also stabilized and no longer shook. More fine cracks appeared on it.
Zhang Ling looked up and saw countless silver-white lights flashing outside the broken mist above. It turned out to be the white lightning on the main peak.
The red mist churned rapidly, and before long, the mist re-enveloped the surroundings.
"Could it be a lightning rod?"
Zhang Ling was silent for a moment, looking at the remaining white lightning on the bronze pillar, he couldn't help but mutter.
"This is not a lightning rod, but a earth dragon nail."
"What is a earth dragon nail?"
"This is an object used to seal and change the spiritual veins." Blue Sparrow explained expressionlessly. "Look below, the area is shrouded in even denser Yin Sha Qi, turning the earth's veins in this area into Yin Sha Qi, no wonder this ghost domain has formed. It seems that there is more than one earth dragon nail here; just one earth dragon nail cannot do this."
Following Blue Sparrow's explanation, Zhang Ling glanced at his feet. Due to the vibration of the bronze pillar just now, many cracks had appeared in the ground.
Careful sensing could reveal that these cracks were shrouded in a layer of grayish-black Yin Sha Qi.
However, this Yin Sha Qi did not rush to the surface but seemed to be trapped underground, as if bound by some force.
Listening to Blue Sparrow's meaning, the existence of this ghost domain, which can gather and not disperse, is related to this earth dragon nail.
"In that case, can this thing be moved?" Zhang Ling stared at the bronze pillar thoughtfully, a flash of inspiration in his eyes.
"You want to take this thing away?" Blue Sparrow glanced at him, and said after a moment of silence. "But I advise you not to be so greedy. Once the earth dragon nail is pulled out, the earth's veins here will change, attracting the lightning above. I feel that the silver-white lightning above is not an ordinary restriction. If a large amount of lightning descends, the area within a hundred miles may be destroyed instantly."
"This place has been nailed with earth dragon nails(地龙钉: earth dragon nail) to change the environment and create a ghost domain. There may be some secrets deeper inside." Saying that, Blue Sparrow walked around the bronze pillar and continued to walk deeper.
Zhang Ling glanced at the bronze pillar, put away his thoughts, and followed. The vibration of the bronze pillar just now ushered in the silver-white lightning in the sky.
If it is really pulled out, it is really possible that this area may be destroyed as Blue Sparrow said.
Let's investigate this place first.
Continuing deeper, he saw several more earth dragon nails(地龙钉: earth dragon nail) along the way. They were all dilapidated, with many cracks.
The deeper they went, the more severely damaged the earth dragon nails(地龙钉: earth dragon nail) they saw. At this moment, not far ahead, another bronze pillar appeared, obliquely inserted into the ground, mostly damaged, and many broken copper pieces were scattered on the ground, with a hint of condensing light, looking like they had become scrap metal.
Zhang Ling also noticed that the further they went, the more they seemed to be walking into a large pit, and the terrain ahead was constantly decreasing.
Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something. A cyan-golden sword light flashed past, shattering a black boulder not far away.
The boulder exploded, and a spiritual light was flashing under the rubble.
A sweep of his divine sense revealed that the thing emitting the spiritual light was a gray-white jade stone buried in the soil, surrounded by a layer of gray gas.
With a grab of his hand, the gray-white jade stone was taken into Zhang Ling's hand. "It's actually a top-grade Yin Spirit Stone."
Yin Spirit Stones(阴灵石: Yin Spirit Stone) are extremely rare spirit stones, not to mention top-grade Yin Spirit Stones(阴灵石: Yin Spirit Stone). It is difficult to encounter a few pieces even at large auctions.
The spiritual power in this top-grade Yin Spirit Stone in his hand has been mostly consumed. It is not a complete piece.
"You've noticed it too. The earth dragon nails(地龙钉: earth dragon nail) and Yin Spirit Stones(阴灵石: Yin Spirit Stone) seen along the way are all instruments for arranging formations."
"That's right, as Senior said just now, a powerful Yin evil formation may have been set up here." Zhang Ling put away the Yin Spirit Stone and nodded.
Next, he found more than a dozen Yin Spirit Stones(阴灵石: Yin Spirit Stone), all of which were top-grade, and all of them had been damaged, further confirming their guess.
Before long, the two stopped. They had arrived at the deepest part of the mist.
They were currently standing on an earth slope, Zhang Ling looked ahead. The ground ahead was crisscrossed with ravines, with many underground cracks.
These cracks emitted streams of black water, forming a pool, not very large, only fifty or sixty zhang(丈: zhang is a unit of length) in diameter.
The pool was calm, and many bright red dead spirit flowers grew in it.
Strangely, the area above the pool was distinctly divided, with half of the red mist constantly churning and the other half of the white mist standing still.
It looked as if the white mist was blocking the spread of the red mist.
A sweep of his divine sense revealed that Zhang Ling frowned slightly. The motionless white mist actually blocked his divine sense's investigation. When his divine sense penetrated, it was like sinking into a quagmire, with a lot of interference.
He couldn't detect the situation inside.
Zhang Ling checked the surroundings. Apart from finding a few more earth dragon nails(地龙钉: earth dragon nail) on the left and right sides, there was nothing else here.
Just as he was thinking about whether to enter the white mist area to investigate.
Suddenly, he heard a wind chime sound. The wind chime sound only rang once and then disappeared.
It seemed like a hallucination. However, Zhang Ling didn't think he had misheard, because Blue Sparrow also spoke to remind him.
"It seems like something is coming."
Zhang Ling naturally did not dare to neglect it, and quickly withdrew his divine sense from investigating the white mist area. With a thought, he fully activated the Yellow Luo Umbrella to protect himself.
At the same time, he threw out the remaining flying swords. Seven flying swords surrounded his body, turning into a piece of golden-white sword light.
As soon as he finished doing these, Zhang Ling heard another tinkling sound.
As the sound came, he immediately felt a sense of solemn and murderous aura coming from the front.
A glance of his eyes, Zhang Ling saw that the white mist in front of him suddenly had a trace of fluctuation. A black shadow rushed straight towards him.
In an instant, it crossed a distance of fifty or sixty zhang(丈: zhang is a unit of length) and arrived in front of him.
He couldn't see what the black shadow was, and a huge force hit him.
Zhang Ling was immediately knocked back dozens of zhang(丈: zhang is a unit of length) away, barely stabilizing his figure.
Even the seven flying swords that had been surrounding him were knocked away by three.
With a loud bang, Blue Sparrow threw out more than a dozen huge fireballs at the same time he was knocked away, rushing towards the figure.
But the figure moved extremely quickly, dodging left and right a few times, and passed through the fireballs. It lightning-like stretched out two arms and grabbed fiercely towards Blue Sparrow.
Suddenly, Blue Sparrow also suffered heavy damage and flew out all of a sudden.
Stabilizing his figure, Zhang Ling could see clearly that the black shadow was a disheveled figure. Looking at the figure, it seemed to be a woman, wearing a cyan gauze dress, but it had long been broken into strands of cloth.
This person exuded a strong Yin Sha Qi, and did not look like a living person.
Careful sensing revealed that he also sensed a dead spirit aura on this person. He realized that this was actually a corpse monster.
But what shocked him was not these, but the aura on this corpse monster, which was much higher than his cultivation level. The aura emitted was actually at the late Nascent Soul stage.
In other words, this was a female corpse king comparable to a great cultivator.
Zhang Ling was shocked. How could there be such a high-level zombie here?
The black shadow flashed in front of him, and the female corpse king instantly arrived in front of him again. Through her messy black hair, he could see a pair of blood-red eyes, devoid of any emotion.
The female corpse king stretched out her hands, and her green-jade fingernails emitting cyan light grabbed over without politeness.
Zhang Ling did not dare to neglect it in the slightest, and quickly cast a spell to respond.
He immediately opened his mouth and spat out a ball of yellow light. The glow exploded in front of him, turning into a yellow light curtain.
The two arms of the female corpse king penetrated into it, as if sinking into a quagmire. The movements became stiff.
Zhang Ling took this opportunity to slide seven or eight zhang(丈: zhang is a unit of length) to the left, and opened the distance from the female corpse king.
At the same time, with a thought, seven flying swords turned into sword lights and slashed over.
The sword light slashed on the female corpse king, and there was a loud bang.
The female corpse king let out a roar, and her two arms quickly slipped and directly tore the yellow light. At the same time, a layer of red light emerged from her body,弾飞(弹飞: flicked away) the flying sword on her body.
Her figure flickered slightly, pulling out a few afterimages, and went straight to Zhang Ling.
The speed was so fast that Zhang Ling secretly called out that it was not good. He quickly flicked his hands without thinking, and bright yellow light clusters flew out.
These light clusters exploded one after another, turning into a bright yellow light curtain, covering an area of more than ten zhang(丈: zhang is a unit of length).
This was naturally the Chongyuan Profound Light he cultivated. After so many years of hard work, this magical power had been used by him with perfection.
Although the Chongyuan Profound Light is not a powerful means of attack, it has a considerable effect of trapping the enemy.
The female corpse king rushed into the area covered by the yellow light, and her actions immediately slowed down by three points.
Zhang Ling quickly shook his hand, and the Sifang Banner appeared in his hand. A piece of gray mist emerged from it, and floated towards the female corpse king.
He planned to take this opportunity to trap this monster to death.
However, just as he showed joy, the Sifang Banner trembled, red light flashed in the gray mist, and it exploded with a bang.
The female corpse king rushed out unscathed, and let out a stern cry, which made people's eardrums hurt.
Countless blood-red long hair swept over. Zhang Ling moved his body to avoid it, and the sword light constantly shattered the red hair. But it didn't work much.
The female corpse king was faster than him and caught up with him. The two palms grabbed over like iron claws.
Zhang Ling could only release a ball of Celestial Star Sand, turning into layers of quicksand to prevent the monster from approaching.
The female corpse king was extremely valiant and tough, and rushed straight over, breaking through layers of quicksand.
This scene made Zhang Ling cry out in his heart.
The corpse king in the late Nascent Soul stage is indeed not an ordinary person. Chongyuan Profound Light, the gray mist of Sifang Banner could not trap it. Celestial Star Sand could not prevent it from approaching.
The corpse king's(尸王: corpse king) physical body is still strong, once it is approached, it will be even more dangerous.
Zhang Ling's mind turned sharply and notified the earth element gourd to reverse, and a large group of quicksand flashing yellow light poured out. Layers of layers wrapped his body, constantly thickening his protection.
The female corpse king rushed over barbarously, with two claws with great force. Zhang Ling kept flying upside down.
Fortunately, there is a layer of yellow sand protection, and there is no major problem for a while.
Zhang Ling mobilized his whole body's spiritual power, and while controlling his body, he pointed out several magic formulas to the earth element gourd. More yellow sand spread around and quickly flowed.
Since this female corpse king kept chasing him, he directly cast the Wrath Earth Formation, trapped this monster in it, and then tried to kill it.
He didn't think about using the Wrath Earth Formation at first. After all, casting the Wrath Earth Formation would consume a lot of spiritual power. But the strength of the female corpse king was too strong, if he couldn't trap this monster, it would be too dangerous.
After a brief fight, he also found that although the female corpse king was powerful, she didn't seem to have much intelligence.
This is also the reason why he immediately cast the Wrath Earth Formation.
Dealing with other monks, he had to try to trap the enemy in it. But dealing with monsters without intelligence is much simpler.
For a time, Zhang Ling was beaten and kept flying upside down, in an absolute disadvantage. But he already had a countermeasure, he kept stabilizing his body, always staying within the hundred zhang(丈: zhang is a unit of length) area.
In a moment, a large area of yellow sand covered the area within fifty or sixty zhang(丈: zhang is a unit of length).
"Wrath Earth Formation, rise."
Zhang Ling whispered in his heart, mobilized his whole body's spiritual power, and suddenly patted his chest, spat out a ball of yellow essence.
This ball of essence instantly divided into twenty-four bright yellow spiritual lights, and fell into the yellow sand.
The sand layer rotated crazily, and after five or six breaths, it formed a sandstorm. The female corpse king fell into it without realizing it, and was still attacking him crazily.
With a muffled sound, Zhang Ling was knocked away again.
This time the force was extremely strong, directly penetrated the sand and dust outside his body, and countless claw awn grabbed the protection of the Yellow Luo Umbrella and burst out with a sizzling sound.
At the same time, countless blood-red long hair rolled over.
Zhang Ling grunted coldly, and the magic formula in his hand changed. He waved his hand in front of him, and countless sand gravel instantly entangled together, forming a thick sand wall.
Blocked this blow.
At the same time, his figure swayed and disappeared into the sandstorm.
The female corpse king waved her two claws together and smashed the sand wall. But her figure suddenly paused, and then she realized that her opponent had disappeared.
With a roar, the female corpse king, the blood-red long hair flew upside down, and even more burst out a fierce aura. dispersed a large area of yellow sand.
The figure moved even faster and turned into a few red afterimage, shuttling in the sandstorm.
However, Zhang Ling had already hidden in the sandstorm, and with the help of the Wrath Earth Formation, he could hide his aura well.
The female corpse king couldn't find him, and kept attacking back and forth in the blockade, making a burst of loud noises. The movement was not small, but it was already in vain, a waste of effort.
At this time, Zhang Ling was slightly relieved. The magic formula in his hand changed again, and in the Wrath Earth Formation, countless yellow sands entangled and changed, quickly condensed into Earth Fiend Earth Spirit.
The female corpse king was extremely fast, and with a sway of her figure, she tore a Earth Fiend Earth Spirit. The long hair rolled up and two more Earth Spirit were broken into sand.
However, the other dozen or so Earthly Fiend Earth Spirits opened their mouths and spat out beams of yellow light, which struck the female corpse king. A thick layer of stone powder appeared on the female corpse king's body, this was petrification spiritual light.
It restricted the monster's movements.
