When Lu Xin and the others arrived, some people were already there.
And it seemed they had only arrived a step ahead of them.
They were Li Mulin, with his innate heterochromatic eyes; Lei An, from a half-demon family; a palace-dressed woman and a black-robed man; and Quan Lingyun, the Holy Son of the Miluo Holy Land, carrying a long saber on his back.
Including Lu Xin and his group, eight of the first ten people to board the ship had arrived.
"Let's rely on our own abilities!"
Lei An glanced back and transformed into a bolt of lightning, taking the lead into the great formation.
The others exchanged glances, summoned their magical treasures, and stepped inside.
"Fellow Daoist Huang Long, within the Eight Directions Yin Wind Formation, divine sense and vision are severely hampered. Besides resisting the Yin Wind Blades that appear from time to time, you must also be wary of the many hidden ghosts. You must concentrate your attention."
Tian Zijing summoned her Heavenly Heart Plate and instructed Lu Xin.
"Thank you for the reminder." Lu Xin nodded and summoned his Five Elements Treasure Flag to protect him.
Nalan Zizhu took out the yellow small bell.
"Stay close to me!"
Seeing that everyone was ready, Tian Zijing took the lead and walked into the formation.
The two immediately followed.
"Whoosh whoosh…"
As soon as he stepped into the formation, Lu Xin felt his ears filled with the sound of wind, and the temperature plummeted. His extended divine sense was frozen, and then blown erratically by the whistling Yin Wind.
"What a powerful Yin Wind."
Only then did he understand what it meant for divine sense to be hampered.
"Pay attention to distinguishing the sound of the wind."
Tian Zijing reminded him, then suddenly said, "It's coming!"
Lu Xin listened carefully, and sure enough, in the midst of the wind, he heard a relatively abrupt sound, like a sharp blade cutting through the void. With a swoosh, by the time he reacted, a black arc of light had already appeared within their field of vision.
It was about to strike down.
The three quickly dodged.
"Boom!"
The arc of light struck the ground, and the earth instantly cracked. Lu Xin sensed that this strike was roughly equivalent to the full power strike of a Fusion Realm cultivator in the early stage.
"These Yin Wind Blades become stronger the further we go, so you must concentrate your attention, carefully distinguish them, and avoid them if you can."
Tian Zijing reminded Lu Xin.
Lu Xin nodded, and then the three continued to move forward.
Along the way, Yin Wind Blades appeared from time to time, either slashing down or sweeping across. Fortunately, they were easy to distinguish and could be avoided.
After walking a certain distance, the three vaguely heard a sound of fighting.
"Someone must have encountered a ghost." Nalan Zizhu said.
"Let's go, let's bypass it." Tian Zijing had no intention of joining the fun.
Lu Xin naturally had no objections.
The three began to move around, but after only a short distance, they encountered trouble. A sinister laugh suddenly appeared in their ears.
"Hehe…"
The voice was shrill and piercing.
The three frowned.
"Show yourself!"
Tian Zijing shouted sharply, and the Heavenly Heart Plate enlarged and flew out, releasing a burst of golden light, forcibly dispelling a patch of darkness and illuminating a figure in red clothing.
"Hehe, good trick."
The red-clothed figure's gender was indistinguishable. Its skin was gray-white, its eye sockets were black, and it had no eyeballs. At this moment, it wore a hideous smile, not caring at all about the golden light enveloping it.
"Who are you?"
Tian Zijing rarely failed to recognize the opponent.
"You can call me the Red Lotus Ghost King. Since you've come in, have fun playing with me." The red-clothed figure chuckled again, ignored the golden light, and instantly disappeared from the spot.
"Not good, be careful!"
Tian Zijing's expression changed drastically. She retracted the Heavenly Heart Plate to protect her body, and at the same time, she and Nalan Zizhu leaned closely together, cautiously on guard.
Lu Xin also moved closer. To be honest, the Red Lotus Ghost King's strength was about the same as theirs, but his methods were a bit strange.
Tian Zijing's Heavenly Heart Plate couldn't trap him.
"Where is he?" Nalan Zizhu asked with a solemn expression.
More than a dozen breaths passed, and the Red Lotus Ghost King seemed to have left, disappearing without a trace.
Tian Zijing shook her head. Just as she was about to speak, a heavy footstep suddenly came.
"Oh, I didn't expect the three fellow Daoists to have come in first."
The newcomer was none other than the old man who had cast a fishing rod in front of the ferry to hook people away. He hadn't been at the front of the formation earlier, so he must have come in later.
"So it's you, Fellow Daoist, you scared me to death. Let me tell you, there was a powerful ghost here just now…"
Lu Xin said happily as he stepped forward.
"Fellow Daoist Huang Long." Tian Zijing quickly called out, reminding him not to be careless.
However, Lu Xin turned a deaf ear and continued, "Called Red Lotus… Die!"
He suddenly launched an attack. The five small flags flew out, instantly surrounding the old man, and then five beams of light shot out from the five flags, connecting into a pentagram.
It was the killing move in the Five Elements Formation, the Five Elements Strangulation.
The five flags rotated, and the pentagram formed began to shrink rapidly, strangling towards the old man in the center.
"What?"
All of this happened in a flash. The old man didn't expect Lu Xin to suddenly launch an attack. By the time he reacted, the pentagram had already strangled over.
"Damn it!"
The voice of the old man in the middle had already changed, it was the Red Lotus Ghost King who had disappeared earlier.
"It's him!"
Hearing the voice, Tian Zijing showed joy and quickly said, "Zizhu, attack together!"
Nalan Zizhu nodded, waved her arm, and the purple pearl appeared in the center above the Five Elements Formation, then transformed into a giant sword, descending from the sky towards the top of the old man's head.
Tian Zijing was not idle either, rising into the air and summoning another spiritual treasure, a Seven Star Sword.
"Bang!" "Boom!"
"Ah!"
As the two acted, the lines of the pentagram, led by the five vertices, had shrunk to a point, instantly cutting the old man in half, and then the five points merged, causing another explosion.
At the same time, two more sword lights descended from the sky. Nalan Zizhu's purple giant sword and Tian Zijing's Seven Star Sword had already arrived, falling on the top of the old man's head, triggering another burst of explosions.
"Boom boom boom…"
A wave of air exploded on the scene, blowing away the Yin Wind that was blowing over.
When the air wave disappeared, the scene was already a mess, and the Red Lotus Ghost King didn't even leave any residue.
"It should have been destroyed." Tian Zijing reached out and recalled her Seven Star Sword, vigilantly scanning her surroundings.
Lu Xin also retracted the Five Elements Flag and looked around. He really didn't find any more traces.
"Fellow Daoist Huang Long, how did you determine that the other party was the Red Lotus Ghost King?"
Seeing that the strong enemy had been destroyed, the three gathered together again, and Tian Zijing asked in confusion.
Nalan Zizhu also looked at him curiously.
In fact, they also knew that the old man who had just appeared was probably problematic, but they couldn't be sure and couldn't attack.
And Lu Xin was much more decisive than them, and must have some means to distinguish him.
"Um… this."
Lu Xin was thinking about how to explain it. He couldn't possibly say that he had the passive [Heart of Self], which could see through the Red Lotus Ghost King's transformation, right?
"I've got it."
He suddenly thought of Long Muxue's dog nose, and said:
"This is very simple. I, Huang, have been able to get to where I am today. In addition to being able to smell the dangerous aura, my nose can also distinguish different smells. As long as I smell it once, no matter how it changes, I can smell it."
"There is such an ability in the world?" The two were extremely surprised when they heard this, and sighed secretly that the world is full of wonders.
Tian Zijing said enviously: "Fellow Daoist Huang Long actually has this ability, it is really enviable."
Lu Xin waved his hand. Just as he was about to speak, another footstep came.
The three quickly became vigilant and frowned as they looked over, only to find that it was Li Mulin, the Holy Son of Yuanze Holy Land with innate heterochromatic eyes, who had walked over this time.
"Fellow Daoist Huang Long, have you smelled anything?" Tian Zijing asked in a low voice.
Lu Xin nodded, "I smelled it, it's very fragrant."
"? ? ?"
Tian Zijing and Nalan Zizhu's faces instantly turned black. Tian Zijing said speechlessly: "Fellow Daoist Huang Long, now is not the time to joke."
Lu Xin smiled and said: "I'm just joking, there must be no problem."
Hearing this, the two relaxed their tense bodies.
And Li Mulin was looking at the three with a puzzled expression, not understanding what they were saying while staring at him.
