Chapter 119: The Battle Begins

Purple, again purple? Although it was only purple flames, I wouldn’t associate it with purple plants or purple bugs, but the inexplicable pressure this color gave me was inexplicable.

But at this moment, I stopped and frowned slightly.

“There’s no need to keep walking. It looks like we’re going to have a good fight.” The one who spoke was Huigen, his expression excited, and he tore off his shirt again. At this rate, I don’t think he needs to wear a shirt.

Everyone fell silent because as soon as the purple flames lit up, a large number of ghosts poured out of the buildings next to the large square.

In front, behind, to the left and right…

So that’s how it is? An ambush from all sides, like a turtle in a jar? No wonder it was so quiet all the way here.

Unfortunately, this is not a conspiracy, but a conspiracy. Even if there is an ambush on all sides, we have to continue to advance in the inner city.

Facing this tide of ghosts is like facing the tide of the sea, giving people infinite pressure, but at the same time completely igniting the blood that has been pent up in our chests.

Chengyi, come to the center. This is not the time for you to act. Chengzhen, take out your array board, accurately position it, and let Chengyi complete the arrangement of the array eye. Remember, we are activating the great array, not fighting these ghosts. As the tide of ghosts surged towards us, Chengqing, who had not spoken up until then, suddenly pulled me to the center and quickly arranged me.

“Cheng Qing, you…” I was very surprised at Cheng Xin’s sudden behavior, but Cheng Qing just played with the three copper coins in his hand and said, “Don’t you know? Since ancient times, Taoists have always used people with the two meridians of fate and divination to plan and strategize from thousands of miles away. I’m just doing my duty.”

While he was talking, Cheng Qing arranged Huigen in front of the group, Tao Bai at the back, Xiao Chengqian and Lu Shan on the left and right, and then said, “Cheng Yuan and Cheng Zhen, you release the soul-uniting support. Those on the outside give it their all. Cheng Yi runs in which direction, and the position changes in that direction. Huigen must run in the front.

Cheng Qingge quickly arranged everything. I asked Cheng Qingge, somewhat puzzled, “Why is Huigen always in the front?” In my opinion, shouldn’t I be the one rushing to the front?

“Hui Gen’er has a pure heart and is almost never confused by the illusions of these ghosts. Tao Bai is suspected of being a pure yang body, immune to all evil.” Cheng Qingge simply explained it in a sentence.

I nodded and stood in the middle of the formation. Suddenly, I understood what Xiao Chengqian and Chengxin meant. I fully trusted everyone and let everyone take on their own responsibilities. I didn’t have to bear everything alone.

The ghost tide in front of me had no end in sight. At this time, I believed that the so-called city lord had arranged for the elite to come out in full force. I didn’t dare to estimate it in detail, but there were probably tens of thousands of ghosts in one glance, and we were not trying to fight our way out of a bloody path, but to cooperate with the eye of the formation to fight our way out of countless bloody paths.

From the sky, our group of people stood in a diamond shape in the middle of the ghost tide, like a lone boat that would be overturned by the roaring waves of the ghost tide. This kind of pressure, like a few martial arts masters facing thousands of troops, is not something that can be described in words without actually being there.

“Are you going to fight with all your strength?” Hui Gen’er licked his lips, and the next moment, he closed his eyes, folded his hands in front of his chest, and then stood in a strange position, reciting a strange mantra or scripture that sounded unfamiliar to me.

The road on my left was even more strange. It was clearly the hand gestures of Taoist invocation, but the posture of the body was a kind of meditation in Tantra.

Xiao Chengqian was the most normal. When Chengqing said to use all his strength, he had already released a pure black ghost head. The moment he released the ghost head, Xiao Chengqian’s face showed a look of pain, and I was shocked. I knew from my feelings that this ghost head of his should have been cultivated with pure yin energy, without the negative emotions of the mixed, and the pure yin energy could easily be transformed into the soul power needed by the ghost head.

The next moment, he began the spirit summoning technique that his clan was so proud of.

As for Tao Bai, he was simpler than everyone else. He just started to slap himself with a complicated gesture. I couldn’t understand what he was doing at all, but I saw a pure red aura emanating from his chest and spreading to his arms. Standing in the middle of everyone, I could feel the heat of this aura.

In the meantime, I noticed a detail. Lu Shan looked at Tao Bai with a complex look in his eyes, and then continued his magic.

Everything was in preparation, but the time for the spell to take effect was not the same as the time when the tide of ghosts would come towards us. If things went on like this, we would be overwhelmed by the tide of ghosts before the spell was complete. When we were in the form of spirits, the ghosts would skip the step of confusion and would devour us directly.

“Chengyuan, Chengzhen.” Chengqing rarely used his hands to make hand signs. The three copper coins had already been collected by him. He urged Chengyuan and Chengzhen, and then continued to make hand signs.

I was in the middle of it, my hands trembling slightly. In fact, I had already wanted to reach the limit of my power. I was most familiar with the words of the soul union. If I wanted to release Silly Tiger, it would be almost instantaneous, unlike Cheng Yuan and Cheng Zhen, who needed some time to prepare. Silly Tiger seemed to sense this surging fighting spirit, howling endlessly in the depths of my soul.

But I don’t know if it’s my illusion, I always feel that every time Shatou roars, the inner city will tremble, as if it is excited, excited, and opposed to various emotions. I am very strange, why would I feel emotions from an inner city? Am I crazy?

I tried to calm myself down, but the ghost tide kept on rushing towards us, the distance between us was getting shorter and shorter, ten meters, five meters… Chengzhen and Chengyuan’s faces showed a hint of anxiety, at this rate, in less than two seconds, the ghost tide in front of us would be right in front of us.

But just then, a huge figure appeared behind Chengqing, then quickly floated forward at an angle, slowly materializing, and finally gradually becoming clear!

Then I saw four short legs, a lazy neck sticking out, and a white breastplate, or belly, facing us.

A smile appeared on my face, and I couldn’t help but call out, “Lazy Turtle, long time no see!”

Unfortunately, the lazy turtle didn’t react at all, and fell heavily to the ground. Its limbs and head also retracted into its shell in that instant, as if a huge shield had fallen to the ground.

With a loud bang, the black-robed ghosts at the front of the wave of ghosts didn’t have time to retreat and slammed into the back of the lazy turtle. Then the huge force of the rebound sent the black-robed ghosts flying.

For some reason, the lazy turtle slowly extended its head at this time, blinking its two big eyes, looking confused.

“It still hasn’t figured out what it’s doing? It’s just following my instructions instinctively. This lazy turtle is too slow.” Cheng Qing’s smile was still on his lips as he spoke, and the next moment he made a hand gesture, and the lazy turtle’s body shrank dramatically, turning into the little turtle with watery eyes again, and flying onto Cheng Qing’s shoulder.

The four characters on the back of the shell were still the same: lazy turtle!

Cheng Qing was so calm because at that moment, the spirit of the dragon and the snake had appeared.

The two giants were much more shocking than the lazy turtle when they first appeared. Their bodies, which grew almost as soon as they saw the wind, swelled to a length of tens of meters and a diameter of more than one meter in the blink of an eye, hovering in the air.

At this point, I realized that Cheng Yuan’s spirit was extremely aggressive. After taking a good look at the situation below, it almost didn’t have time to stabilize itself before roaring and diving downwards, plunging into the ghost tide like a dragon into the sea. The next moment, when it rose up again, the coiled body had already wrapped around no less than a hundred ghosts rushing forward, then it soared up into the sky, and then fell heavily…

With a loud bang, the consequences of the ghostly creatures being entangled can be imagined, and those who were caught in the storm also don’t know how many there are.

Faced with such a huge commotion, the spirit of the dragon roared again, and the roar was so excited that it sounded like a child cheering. The spirits I was looking for all had a very neurotic side. I thought the spirit of the dragon was normal, but the facts proved that the spirit of the dragon was not normal at all when it acted on its own.

The aggressive dragon, that must be it! I didn’t expect that this battle would be the most difficult battle that the lazy turtle had ever fought…
