Chapter 64: The crisis brought by the magic

Compared to the reactions of me and Silly Tiger, He Long appeared to be unconcerned, because he had only released a ghostly head that looked very strange.

He looked at me with a look of inevitable victory, obviously full of great confidence in this ghost head.

Strangely, when Silly Tiger saw this ghostly head, the anger in him suddenly reached a critical point. I felt that it was calling me to fight with it as soon as possible!

This kind of soul-merging battle is not that it finds the opponent difficult to deal with, but that it desperately needs to vent its anger.

I didn’t choose to merge with Shahu, but instead calmed Shahu’s emotions. After all, merging with Shahu was my strongest trump card. I could foresee that after that, I would have a series of battles, and I didn’t want to use it so quickly. Besides, He Long wouldn’t let me merge with him.

Naturally, Shatu chose to respect me and returned to my back, growling quietly at He Long. At this time, through Shatu, I learned a message, that is, He Long’s ghost head had devoured the souls of two monsters in this old forest.

The reason why Shatu knew was because He Long’s ghost head had not completely digested the souls of the two monsters, and the remaining will of the monsters was screaming, which Shatu heard.

I squinted my eyes, and I could feel a kind of concern in Shatu that it could not explain itself, and the anger it caused also spread to my heart!

He Long easily released the ghost head, but after releasing it, his expression became serious. He suddenly shouted at me, “Chen Chengyi, I’m afraid the situation is set today. I’m afraid I can’t get the relic of the great demon in the ground with my own ability. But you making me retreat like this is also impossible. Chen Chengyi, I ask you, dare you fight me fairly?”

I looked at He Long and didn’t say anything. In fact, I knew in my heart that He Long, seeing the situation as irreversible, definitely wanted to fight me. One was for the illusory and empty fame, and the other was to get the chance to retreat in one piece.

Don’t look at him as if he’s a delicate flower, he’s not stupid. He saw me and didn’t say a word, but then suddenly he covered his mouth with his fingers and laughed, “Chen Chengyi, are you afraid? I just released my ghost, and you released your tiger. We didn’t use our full strength, we were just testing the water. Why can’t we have a fair fight? Besides, although my men and horses have lost, it is possible to take away one or two of your lives and disturb you a little. I promise you, if I lose, I will say nothing and turn around and leave.

“What if you win?” He Long was threatening me, but I had to admit that his threat was very effective, and I had to promise.

“Win? What can I do if I win? Xiao Chengqian is here, and I can only turn around and leave.” He Long said with a ‘cute smile’.

It is clear that if we take advantage of the situation and pursue them, they will also pay a heavy price. Obviously, He Long is a man who cares about his reputation. He said he would lose and win, forcing us to let him leave unharmed. If he wins, naturally people will help him publicize this victory.

This is a very clever plan.

“Then let’s fight.” I said indifferently.

As soon as the words fell, Silly Tiger let out a low growl and suddenly jumped in front of me, staring at He Long’s every move with his fierce eyes.

I glanced at He Long and found that the ghost head was not connected to him in the same way. He felt a bit strained. At this moment, he cut his wrist, and the ghost head rushed up and bit He Long’s wrist. I don’t know what it was “sucking,” but I saw the bright red blood from He Long’s wrist, which turned into pale black blood after passing through the ghost head.

If it were an ordinary person, it would be that He Long’s wrist had shed bright red blood, which had turned into shocking black blood when it fell into the snow.

At this moment, Xiao Chengqian had already finished collecting the seven ghost heads. When the last ghost head shattered, He Long spat out a mouthful of blood and glared at Xiao Chengqian with hatred. I understood even more clearly that the seven ghost heads were the true ghost heads of He Long’s evil cultivation, and the green one was not.

Xiao Chengqian looked at me and said, “Chengyi, it’s over. He Long, that petty person, has set his sights on me.”

I said to Xiao Chengqian, “It’s okay. Watch me use your magic to beat him up.”

Xiao Chengqian looked at me with a hint of resentment and muttered, “Are you fucking hitting me?”

The truth is of course not the case. After saying this, Xiao Chengqian laughed to himself. Seeing that I was relaxed, Silly Tiger went to find Chengxin’s “trouble,” because Chengxin’s powerful medicine powder “tainted” Silly Tiger’s food, and the young fox was also making a fuss next to him.

I thought to myself, is this a “fresh start” for the young fox and the stupid tiger after they both lost their memories?

I shook my head, dismissed these boring thoughts, then closed my eyes and began to step on the first step. How long has it been since I used the technique of “lowering the grass”? What would it be like if I used the technique of “lowering the grass” now?

Don’t think that the lower Tao technique has no power. If used well, the lower Tao technique is more powerful than the upper Tao technique!

I abandoned my five senses and, as I began to step on the Five Elements, I began to communicate with the heavens and earth to borrow their power. I was very familiar with this Five Elements, and with the growth of my spiritual awareness and soul, communication was exceptionally smooth. There was no sense of “obstruction” when I stepped on this Five Elements.

I felt a strong, powerful, feminine energy enveloping me, something I had never felt before when using the lower Tao.

During this communication, I could not see the appearance of the ghost I had summoned, but I must admit that this power also shocked me.

Is this considered progress? I was filled with a faint joy.

The step-by-step process continued. Although I had abandoned my five senses, I could not sever my connection with Shatu. When the step-by-step process was about to be completed, I suddenly felt a message from Shatu that the ghost head on the side of He Long had been released!

So, the advantages of evil cultivation are full of advantages, that’s it! But from another perspective, isn’t that what they have been cultivating for years, or various combat aids, for? The amount of effort put in is directly proportional to the amount of gain!

One step, two steps, three steps. When I finally completed the three steps of the step-by-step method, the power finally completely enveloped me, and in the next moment, it was like a fierce waterfall, suddenly falling into my body.

I frowned, and at that moment, I was surprised to see that the power I had summoned from the lower world was actually a ghost king!

And all those who can be called kings are unruly and difficult to tame. After all, it is not easy to make them put down their pride as kings and help you. So the first thing this power did when it entered my body was to choose to “take over my body”!

Or it should not be called “taking over,” but rather forcibly oppressing my soul. At this time, if I am not careful, I may become an idiot because of this lower-level magic, which can also be called obsession!

The function of the hand seal is to make the power “return to its place”!

I flushed, and almost mobilized most of my soul power to suppress this force. Then I clenched the hand seal with difficulty, so that the clenching of the hand seal seemed awkward and incoherent.

I heard Xiao Chengqian’s worried voice in my ear: “How can Chen Chengyi be so difficult to pinch the hand movements? It shouldn’t be like this!” This voice was full of doubt. Obviously, he could never have imagined that I had invited the Ghost King, and I myself couldn’t believe it.

But is this something to be proud of? At this moment, my life and soul were dancing on a tightrope, in a critical situation! Not to mention fighting He Long!

The only one who knew my situation was Silly Tiger. I received his concern, but at the same time, I also felt that Silly Tiger was a bit embarrassed…

Is the opponent too strong? I can’t know what’s going on in the arena right now, but I can imagine what kind of existence it must be to make Shatu so flustered!

I was unable to distract myself, and I was still pressing the hand gestures with all my strength. The power that I had mobilized to suppress most of my soul was about to break free and rush out of its designated position.

My hand movements had reached the final stage, but the last finger could not fall. The power was fighting back desperately, and I was almost in the most difficult situation since I started using magic!
