Chapter 90: The Greatest Danger
I don’t know if my feelings are wrong. In this strange place, where only the power of the soul can be fought, Shatuo seems to have received some great nourishment, or rather, it should not be nourishment. It should be the support of a force, showing extraordinary abilities.
Because I have merged my soul with Silly Tiger, I can accurately locate this feeling, and that is, Silly Tiger’s ability is not entirely due to the nourishment of the pure yin energy here.
The battle was easy, and the awakening of his attributes was not only manifested in his attack power. The green-faced ghosts had difficulty even getting close to Silu, because of the aura of evil energy around him, which had the power to ‘shred’ spiritual bodies.
To break through this defense, unless the green-faced ghosts themselves also have the aura of evil spirits, they can approach Shatou and harm it, just like the little ghost!
At this time, the aura of evil energy of the stupid tiger is already different from when it fought the little ghost. It is like that time, when it was born with the ability to resist the evil energy of the little ghost. That was an act of “living off the past” and using “instincts.” Now, this instinct has become a weapon that can be used to actively defend “oneself.”
Therefore, this is basically an abusive battle. The five green-faced ghosts are completely defenseless, and Shatu can tear one apart with a few claws!
Facing the scattered energy, our soul didn’t take the initiative to devour it, because not long ago, the tender fox, the cute snake, and the lazy turtle all woke up inexplicably and stood behind the soul. I could feel their awakening and the cordiality from the bottom of my heart. The scattered energy naturally benefited them.
In a battle, some people are happy and some are sad. I was fighting easily, and I destroyed a ghost in just one glance. Weng Li, however, was spitting blood. It was real blood. Five ghosts with linked lives were destroyed in an instant, and he was naturally injured.
His instinctive reaction was to withdraw the ghost head. After all, in this narrow path and this strange environment, he suddenly realized that he had no advantage in the battle with me, and it was very likely that he would be crushed by me, a junior.
However, someone disagreed with Weng Li’s behavior. One hand rested on Weng Li’s shoulder. It was the old man who had fought me at first. He said, “There are so many people behind you. You don’t need to retreat at all. Just push this little ghost back together.”
Weng Li’s facial muscles twitched slightly, while the old man behind him sat cross-legged and started to make a strange hand gesture. I was facing off against the ghost, squinting my tiger eyes and seeing the old man’s strange starting position. I immediately understood that the old man is truly ‘selfless’, using his own spiritual power to support Weng Li. That is a very dangerous kind of support. Unless it is a good friend who has exchanged lives, ordinary cultivators would not do that. I don’t think Weng Li and that old man are that close.
“Weng Li, I will use my soul power to help you. Our entire lineage will use our soul power to help you. You can also command your lineage to forcefully break through this strange kid, but I want to keep this kid alive.” Before performing the magic, the old man suddenly spoke to Weng Li.
As for why he had to have me, he didn’t tell Weng Li, but I knew in my heart that after all, we were essentially from the same lineage. Xiao Chengqian probably knew a little about the secret of the strongest fighting method, the combination of souls. He was a high-level core figure, so how could he not know? He wanted me, wasn’t it just to force me to reveal the secret of this strongest fighting technique? He didn’t understand that I was sitting behind him, and he was a fool.
I never thought that I could easily defeat five ghosts to win this battle. They don’t need to torture me with a war of attrition, and they will definitely overwhelm me with their superior numbers. The terrain I occupy is only to prevent them from attacking me all at once, using the most mundane method, which will make it impossible for me to fight.
Time can’t be wasted. While the old man is performing his magic, I must eliminate the five ghosts as quickly as possible. After all, Weng Li is the most important person in the front row, and if I can seriously injure him, I will have a little breathing room.
Thinking this way, I sped up and pounced on another ghost head. Weng Li saw through my plan and instead of commanding the ghost heads to dodge, he commanded the other three ghost heads to pounce on Xiao Xi and Xiao Mao and Wu Lao Gui.
Then, he took out a whistle with a strange shape, looked at me with a cold smile, placed it to his mouth, and then looked at me with a vengeful and victorious look before blowing the whistle.
What was he going to do?
Unfortunately, at this point, I had no interest in arguing with him, but rather wanted to rescue Xiao Xi and Xiao Mao and Wu Laogui. After I had once again destroyed one ghost head and injured two, Xiao Xi and Xiao Mao, who were still recovering, and Wu Laogui, who was already trembling with fear, the crisis was finally over.
However, I sensitively discovered that the look in Wu Laogui’s eyes was not right, and with a deep sense of panic, I looked back and saw the most stressful and terrifying scene of my life, the ghost heads, overwhelming ghost heads!
It turned out that Weng Li had blown the whistle, which had no other effect than to communicate with his disciples. In this instant, he released all the ghosts, dozens of people, each with all their ghosts released, forming such a scene in this narrow path, a scene of overwhelming ghosts!
How could such a momentum not be terrifying? It is like a small ant. Once it forms a scale, it becomes the most terrifying thing in nature鈥攖he tide of marching ants! Any powerful animal is powerless in the face of such a tide of ants.
But the bad news doesn’t end there. On this path, I heard the sound of many people chanting. I knew at once that this chant, like the old man’s, was a spell aided by spiritual power!
The situation is clear. In order to deal with me and eliminate the disadvantage of the terrain, they have indeed adopted the method of “crushing.” In this special environment, the evil cult attack that can exert the greatest combat effectiveness, and the other line is also very powerful. If it cannot exert combat effectiveness, it will directly use spiritual power to help!
This kind of spiritual support obviously wastes a part of it. It’s not as thorough as the formation that harmed Wu Laogui’s five brothers back then, but what’s the point? Isn’t it more than enough to deal with a few of us?
Or at the beginning, the two clans had reservations. After all, they were each other’s greatest enemy, and I could still use this. But my technique of uniting souls completely stimulated the old man, and he decided to use this absolutely crushing method. Perhaps in his view, as long as he could defeat me, what did it matter if he gave up some of the benefits of the Immortal Tomb? The technique of merging souls, the name of our most powerful technique is not an empty one, and he saw this ability with his own eyes. I was able to defeat the elite of the older generation, even in a special environment.
I was sitting behind him, my face pale. Although my body was a remnant soul, I was also affected by the emotions of the soul merger.
As for the union of my soul and that of Shatu, I was already extremely bitter. A special conversation began between us, with only a few words.
“Sata, if you are going to die today, run away, or hide back in the tiger’s claws, they will never hurt you.” I conveyed my thoughts to Sata like this. The truth is that this is the case, and I can’t bear to see Sata’s remaining soul eventually scatter.
I firmly conveyed this belief to Shahu, and Shahu, who had always been very quiet and dumb, responded to me with a vague idea, which I summarized as follows: “Fight, fight! I am you, you are me, life and death are inseparable.”
This time, Shahu showed an extraordinary determination. I raised my head and looked at the overwhelming number of ghost heads, then turned and looked coldly at Weng Li, who was holding the strange whistle and looking at me with a cold smile. I understood that the whistle was extraordinary and should be able to command all the ghost heads through it. The ghost heads were standing in the air, waiting for Weng Li to inject soul power into them, and then they would use their absolute advantage to crush me.
I dared not make any move. The ghost heads were not being commanded at the moment, and they were not acting rashly. But if I attacked them, they would instinctively attack me furiously.
I may not be afraid of this, but once I get caught in it, there will be no barrier behind me to protect me.
I can only hold back my troops, but is that all? No, I won’t give up. I have to try. The most desperate method I came up with at the beginning, with a low success rate, is the only way I can try.
I communicated with Brother Chengxin, desperately communicating, I asked Brother Chengxin to convey my message to Xiao Mao, who was not too clear about the situation, and asked Xiao Mao to find a way to bring my body to the rear.
Brother Chengxin has a strong spiritual power and received my message at the first time. He didn’t have any doubts and didn’t think that I was trying to save myself. He quickly conveyed my message to Xiaomao.
Xiao Mao, who had initially had a ‘grudge’ with us, had already established a relationship with us along the way. In the face of Cheng Xin Ge’s transmission, it didn’t even have any doubts. It quickly grew larger, then took my body in its mouth and dragged it back, showing complete trust.
Beasts that have turned into demons may have a natural hatred for humans, but once that hatred is resolved, they will show you their affection, and that affection is undoubtedly the most sincere and trusting affection.
I was moved, and looked at the sky full of ghosts. I wanted to use my life to block them!
