Chapter 131: The Battle (10)

“I was itching to show off my skills, so I couldn’t help but show you a few more tricks. But I didn’t expect to be so ineffective, and I let the city lord lose two generals in a row. It was really my fault! Now, the only way to make up for it is to sacrifice all of your heads.” As he spoke, the red-robed ghost walked toward Huigen step by step. With each step, the muscles on its body swelled by a fraction, and as it took each step, the entire earth trembled. This was a manifestation of a soul’s strength reaching a certain level. It was like a strongman in the mortal world no longer containing his power and walking around.

Facing the red-robed ghost, Huigen’s expression also became serious. He muttered to himself and finally began to use his unique secret technique. Unlike the opening technique he used to enter the city, he had already awakened the blood-colored tattoo on his body once. This time, the awakening was relatively much simpler.

Therefore, this is the trump card that Huigen has been relying on for so long to fight against the red-robed ghost.

“What old man, old man, I said can you speak human language? Don’t look at what era this is!” Hui Gen was casting a spell and had no way to respond to the old man, but Xiao Chengqian heard that the old man wanted all of our heads to be sacrificed to the city lord, and he was unhappy. He couldn’t help but choked the red-robed ghost!

“Hmph!” Faced with Xiao Chengqian’s provocation, the red-robed ghost snorted in dissatisfaction, reached out and grabbed the void, and a large sword similar to the Qinglong Yanyue Sword was caught in its hand. Then, it waved the large sword in its hand at Xiao Chengqian, and the air actually shook. Then a gust of wind hit Xiao Chengqian, who was hit and groaned, and retreated two steps.

It all happened too fast, we didn’t have time to react. I was shocked by the old man’s spiritual power, which was so powerful that it was like the Taoist qigong had reached a high level, and it was not impossible to hurt people from a distance! But at the same time, my anger also suddenly rose to the sky. The red-robed ghost was too arrogant, and it casually hurt my companions like this.

“Remember, I am Li Hao, a famous general of the time, how dare you, a little brat, insult me! Now I will punish you a little, and then I will come back to take your head. I forgot to tell you, unlike them, I am the deputy marshal under the city lord, my status is only slightly lower than Marshal Cui Zi…” Li Hao started to talk about his status and became very verbose.

Since Chengqing started to lay out the big picture, I have been holding back and not making a move. Now that I have encountered this arrogant Li Hao, I can’t help it anymore. I immediately condensed my spiritual power and, in accordance with the operation method of Taoist roar power, shouted out a sentence: “Which Li Hao? Which famous general of which dynasty? How have I never heard of him?”

“You…” I was telling the truth. I had never heard of a famous general named Li Hao, but I didn’t want this sentence to touch the sore spot of that Li Hao. It suddenly became extremely angry, and when I shouted out a “you,” the power of the roar was already present. Li Hao was roared by my roar, and he groaned and took three steps back. It can be said that he had a small revenge for Xiao Chengqian!

Xiao Chengqian gave me a thumbs up, but Li Hao was so angry that he brandished his sword and rushed at me.

But unexpectedly, at this moment, two shadowy images of Vajra appeared behind Huigen. He calmly opened his eyes and said to Li Hao, who was in a rage, “Your opponent is me!”

Li Hao stopped and looked at Huigen and said, “Good! After killing you, I will be the first to take his head!” His sword was pointed directly at me, and the force of the sword made me tremble in my soul. In fact, Li Hao could not be underestimated.

Huigen took a cudgel from the shadow of the eight-armed Vajra behind him and said, “A cudgel is the most convenient. Come on! Do you want to take my brother’s head or beat me first? Since I was a child, I’ve always felt that my brother is a hundred times better than me.”

As he spoke, Huigen rushed towards Li Hao, who did not hesitate to rush towards Huigen with his sword!

With a loud bang, before we could react, the stick and the knife collided, emitting a deafening roar. At the point of intersection, a large amount of smoke and dust exploded, billowing upwards! It can be seen how strong the collision of forces was.

My brother is a hundred times more powerful than me? Hearing Hui Gen’er say this, I felt a little warmth in my heart. No matter how time passes, the image of that round little boy is still there, isn’t it? Something is condensed in Hui Gen’er’s soul, just like the feelings between him and me.

“Monks don’t lie, and this Huigen has broken the precepts.” Chengxin said in a low voice in my ear.

“What do you mean?” In the blink of an eye, Huigen and Li Hao had already exchanged blows several times. Wherever they went, the ground shook, and the sky was filled with smoke and dust. This kind of hand-to-hand combat was a hundred times more exciting than magic.

“When did you become a hundred times better than him? Maybe he’s even better than you. Hey… you’ve broken the rules!

I was very straightforward and silent. He obviously didn’t make a move. He was bored and looking for trouble with me. I only answered him to get rid of the boredom.

But Hui Gen might be better than me. I admit it. Looking at Hui Gen fighting fiercely with Li Hao not far away, I’m afraid even Master Hui didn’t expect his apprentice, little Hui Gen, to grow to this point.

He has the approval of two successive generations of blood, and he has sealed the power of two high priests within himself. Through a special tattoo, he has also sealed the power of the Vajra. What a proud thing this is!

I smiled and looked at the battlefield in the distance. Over there, Li Hao had been attacking Huigen for a long time without success, and he was obviously angry. After a loud cry, he fought Huigen hard and retreated.

“I thought I would use five points of strength to cut you down, but I didn’t expect you to be so capable! Then you just wait and see what I can do! I originally wanted to spar with you again, but the situation…” Li Hao said to himself, and Xiao Chengqian sarcastically said a few words, but he didn’t call him “old man” anymore. When he first came out, he didn’t say a word. I thought he was cool, but now it seems that he is actually very wordy and loves to find excuses for himself!

“It doesn’t matter if you use 12 points of strength, because I also want to do something, and I just happen to use you to test it.” Hui Gen also put away the Qimei stick and said seriously.

Looking at Hui Gen’er’s serious expression, I suddenly frowned. What did Hui Gen’er want to do? Why didn’t I feel good about it?

“Brother, I once heard my master tell me about his past with Master Jiang. He said that they went to the heavens and the sea, and did many things together, braving the ghost lair and killing the great snake demon! All along, my master said that he was the one fighting in the front, no matter how unbearable it was, he had to hold on, so that Master Jiang could perform his magic calmly! My power is not as good as my master’s, but I also want to be able to stand in front of you one day, so that you can perform your magic calmly!” Hui Gen’er suddenly turned his head and looked at me again and said seriously.

Li Hao suddenly let out a shout and his body began to swell. That was the manifestation of no longer suppressing his soul power! However, soul power is not the same as the soul itself. Without the suppressing effect of the physical body, it is extremely dangerous for the soul alone to carry such power.

This is why Li Hao did not use his full strength at first!

At this point, Li Hao had already expanded from a normal 1.8 meter tall ghost to a giant over two meters tall. His muscles were tangled to a terrifying degree, and even the bulging veins were twisting like a small snake… and Li Hao had not stopped yet.

“Brother, you must not stop me, and you must not interfere.” Faced with such a Li Hao, Hui Gen’er’s expression was calm, and he only said this to me.

Then he recited a mantra and made a hand gesture, and the shadow of a Vajra disappeared, turning into a bloody tattoo on his chest. But another shadow slowly approached Huigen and began to merge with his body!

At this moment, I understood. This was the moment when Hui Gen’er was to temporarily fuse with the power sealed in his body! I remembered everything about his blood tattoo. For example, this power can only slowly fuse, and the day the blood tattoo disappears is the day of true fusion.

In the past, Hui Gen had partially merged with the power during the battle with the little demon, but he could not fully bear it while he still had a physical body. Now, he was going to temporarily merge completely!

This kind of soul-to-soul fusion of power is actually no different from the forced fusion of the blood tattoo with the body.

“No, Huigen, you can’t! You don’t need to do this, you can do it.” I shouted, but Huigen had already entered the fusion, and there was no way I could stop him.

I knew that even if he didn’t fully fuse, he could defeat Li Hao by borrowing the strength of the Vajra. But he had to do it. He realized that our path would become more and more dangerous in the future, and he really wanted to prove that he could fight alongside me just like Master.

“Let him go! Hui Gen is also growing up!” Cheng Xin said to me.

I clenched my fists and nodded very reluctantly. But at this moment, the sky turned dark and the entire inner city outside the square suddenly echoed with thunderous cheers. What was happening?
