Han Ye didn't have to take care of Chengxin, so he took the lead. He rushed to the front of the ghosts and swept at the four ghosts in front of him. Unfortunately, he forgot that ghosts didn't have physical bodies. The demonic sword passed through their bodies like a knife cutting water.
Han Ye realized that he was playing the wrong way, so he jumped back decisively and landed beside Xue Yan. He frowned and said,""It seems that using ordinary techniques on them is not effective.”
"You just realized?" "Hero Han, don't tell me you're at your wit's end?" Xue Yan gloated.”
"Hmph, do you think I'm like you?" Han Ye sneered, and a blue incantation appeared on his sword. Gradually, Han Ye's right hand and sword were filled with cold air.
"Watch carefully." Han Ye jumped into the group of ghosts and slashed with his sword in his right hand, cutting the two ghosts in front of him into four pieces. The two ghosts screamed and turned into Yin Qi, and their souls dissipated.
The sword was still the same sword. The only difference was that the sword was filled with water spiritual energy. Using spiritual energy to attack the ghost was just right. In addition, Han Ye noticed another problem: As his Xuan Yuan True Qi continued to strengthen, it became easier and easier for him to use the Devil Sword's incantation. At the seventh level, it was very tiring to use it a few times, but at the eighth level, it seemed to be somewhat free.
Han Ye used the demonic sword that was overflowing with cold air to kill the ghosts. It was quite similar to his father Han Feng's heroic bearing in the past. However, after he killed more than a dozen ghosts in one breath, the remaining ghosts were obviously more experienced than ordinary ghosts. They gathered and scattered at times, appearing and disappearing. Han Ye slashed for a long time but failed to cut them. He had used up a lot of his physical strength, so he could only retreat to Xue Yan's side in a flash.
Xue Yan saw that Han Ye was already sweating profusely when he came back and looked a little disheveled. She couldn't help but frown and her eyes flashed. She smiled and said,""Can't do it anymore?"
"What do you know?" Han Ye looked at the ghosts that were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws as they floated towards him again. He said coldly,""The rest are all ghosts with profound cultivation. They're not easy to deal with.”
"Then take good care of Little Bald Head. Don't let the ghosts get close to him.”As Xue Yan spoke, she handed the crystal heart in her hand to Han Ye. She then leaped toward the ghosts and did not forget to imitate Han Ye after running a few steps. She turned around and said,""Watch carefully."
"Big brother." Cheng Xin, who was standing beside Han Ye, saw Xue Yan run over and looked up worriedly at Han Ye.""Pretty Sister won't be in danger, right?”
Han Ye smiled coldly and put his hand on Cheng Xin's thin shoulder. He stared at Xue Yan's back and said,""Hmph, she's so timid. How would she dare to fight if she doesn't have much confidence?”
Han Ye was right. Xue Yan was very confident. She ran forward and seemed to take out something from her hand. As she took it, she made some strange movements, but because her movements were too fast and the sky was dark, Han Ye did not see it clearly.
Xue Yan ran towards the ghosts in front of her. Suddenly, she crossed her fair and slender hands and threw eight embroidery needles at the ghosts. However, perhaps Xue Yan had lost her skill, but none of the eight embroidery needles hit the enemy. All of them hit the tree trunk behind the ghosts. Xue Yan saw that the Embroidery Needle had hit the tree, so she quickly stopped and jumped to the side. She jumped to the nearest treetop, circled around the treetop twice, and then landed lightly.
When this pretty girl ran and jumped, her long hair and sash often fluttered in the wind. Her figure was very beautiful, but Han Ye could not understand her intentions, so he frowned and thought,""Yan 'er, what do you plan to do?”
Xue Yan did not know how to explain herself. She threw the needles and jumped up and down. Every time the needles hit the trees, the ghosts were confused. After shooting about a hundred needles, Xue Yan turned around and jumped a few times before landing next to Han Ye.
"It's fine now. Let's try to strike a mine again.”Xue Yan patted the dust off her hands.
Han Ye looked closely at the needles that Xue Yan shot out and the branches that she jumped over. With the help of the weak moonlight, they were faintly shining with silver light. He immediately understood most of it and couldn't help but admire Xue Yan's cleverness.
Seeing that the ghosts were about to leave the area and attack them, Han Ye quickly took Cheng Xin away from the surrounding trees. Then, he clenched his right hand and a purple incantation appeared on the sword. He opened his left hand toward the area that Xue Yan had set up. Dark clouds gathered and a bolt of lightning struck down.
Before this bolt of lightning fell, it was no different from ordinary lightning. However, when it was about to hit the ground, countless thread-like lightning bolts suddenly appeared in the surroundings. The lightning bolts extended in all directions and instantly electrocuted the ghosts within its range into ashes. Not only that, but the lightning also spread to the trees, causing the surrounding trees to explode into bursts of fire.
At that moment, the lightning was like a dense spider web. None of the ghosts in the web escaped the misfortune of being swallowed by the lightning. Only Han Ye and the others, who were far away from the trees, were not hurt at all.
Why was the lightning so effective this time? In fact, it was all thanks to the silver thread that Xue Yan had stolen from the cloth store last time. Xue Yan threaded these tiny silver threads onto embroidery needles and then specially shot them onto different trees. The other end was fixed around other trees. She repeated this repeatedly and formed a silver net array in front of the array. Once the lightning struck, it would be transmitted through the silver thread in all directions. No matter how cunning the ghosts were, they would not be able to avoid it.
Seeing that all the malicious ghosts had been wiped out, Xue Yan asked Han Ye smugly,""How is it? Mr Han."
Han Ye smiled calmly this time and said,""Hmph, you're amazing."
"Let's go to Master and the abbot to take a look.”"There are so many ghosts. I'm worried that they might be in danger."”
"Yes, my master once owed you all. It's time to atone for his sins.”Han Ye nodded solemnly and said to Cheng Xin,""Little Master Chengxin, please lead the way.”
Thus, Cheng Xin led Han Ye and Xue Yan towards the host and Liaochen's residence.
The abbot and Liaochen's residences were not far from each other. They were both in the north of the center of the inner temple. However, the closer they got to that place, the more powerful the ghosts around them became. Of course, they would also encounter some monks on the way. They seemed to have received some news and rushed to the center. They did not forget to use the golden alms bowl, prayer beads, demon-subduing pestle, and other magic tools in their hands to eliminate a few scattered ghosts.
The small monk, Cheng Xin, was panting as he led Han Ye and Xue Yan to run. Suddenly, he saw a young monk in his early twenties holding a long string of Buddhist beads to drive away the vengeful souls. He waved at him and said,""Senior brother Fayan, how are the abbot and my master?”
"Junior Brother Chengxin?" Fayan also saw Chengxin. While fighting with the enemy, he shouted,"I don't know either, but the alarm of the inner temple sounded just now. All the senior and junior brothers are heading over to the abbot's side. You go and take a look first.”
"Then be careful, Senior Brother Fayan!”Cheng Xin knew Fa Yan well and knew that he was a good demon-slaying expert. It was only a matter of time before he defeated these ghosts. He was also focused on seeing his master, so he pulled Han Ye and Xue Yan and continued to rush inside. Han Ye did not forget to kill a few ghosts along the way, hoping to reduce the burden on Shenwu Temple.
After running for about half an hour, the three of them finally rushed to the empty space in front of the abbot's residence. At this time, it was already filled with monks from the temple. There were also hundreds of ghosts floating in the air surrounded by monks. The leader seemed to be a female ghost in bright red clothes. The female ghost looked less than thirty years old and looked like a beautiful woman when she was alive. However, her face was fierce and her body emitted an extremely thick resentment that made people shudder.
Cheng Xin passed through the layers of monks outside and finally saw Master Juekong and Liaochen in the deepest part of the crowd of monks, who were confronting the red-dressed female ghost.
"Master ~!" When Cheng Xin saw that Chen and the host were safe and sound, she couldn't help being overjoyed and rushed over to Chen.
"Chengxin!" It seemed that Liaochen had been worried about his disciple for a long time, but the situation here was more urgent, so he didn't have time to look for Chengxin. This rough monk always had worry and worry written on his face. When he saw that Chengxin was safe, he immediately ran over and hugged Chengxin tightly. His messy beard swept across Chengxin's young face. He scolded in a rough but somewhat distressed voice,"Brat! You made me so worried!"
"I'm worried about you too, Master! I thought, I thought I would never see you again! Wahhh!" As Cheng Xin spoke, she finally couldn't hold back her emotions and started crying in Liaochen's arms.
Han Ye looked at this master and disciple pair and gradually felt touched and gratified. He seemed to see the way the King of Death held him back then. Back then, he could not travel the world with the King of Death, but now he could find a vague shadow of this master and disciple pair.
"Cry! Why are you crying? You brat!" When Liaochen was so excited, he did not call Chengxin by her Dharma name, but only by the name that he felt was the most intimate. Tears filled his eyes, and even Han Ye and Xue Yan, the hero couple, smiled faintly as they watched. After a while, Liaochen asked,"Are you alright?"
"At first, three ghosts ran into my room to try to harm me.”Cheng Xin pointed at Xue Yan behind her and said,"It was Pretty Sister who ran in to save me. Later, when I came to the forest, I met many ghosts.”Then, Chengxin pointed at Han Ye and said,""Big brother also ran over to help and destroyed them with Pretty Sister. That's why I can come here to see you!”As she spoke, Cheng Xin continued to burrow into Chen's embrace, very dependent.
"Is that so?" Liaochen looked at the man in the dark blue suit behind Chengxin. Many years ago, this man's master had killed Huiming, whom he regarded as a brother. Many years later, this man had saved Chengxin, whom he regarded as his own son. The grudges of the world, the cycle of karma, everything was God's will!
All of a sudden, Liaochen felt a lot of emotions. He stood up and stroked Chengxin's head while sternly saying to Han Ye and Xue Yan,"Thank you." Although Liaochen did not say anything, Han Ye knew that the grudge between his master and Liaochen had come to an end.
However, the battle did not seem to be over yet. Liaochen, Han Ye, and the others turned to listen to the abbot and the red-dressed female ghost's conversation.
"Amitabha." Jue Kong raised his palm and said," Female benefactor, you have such a deep evil aura that it's rare to see you in the world. It's better for us to help you cross over and enter the cycle of reincarnation."”
"Ferrying souls? Hahaha!" The floating female ghost in red let out an ear-piercing and demonic laugh. She said hatefully to Jue Kong,"Stupid monk, don't make it sound so dignified! Annihilation was annihilation, what ferrying? Disgusting!"
Juekong's white brows furrowed." I wonder what kind of deep hatred you have with our temple," he said gently." Why did you bring so many wronged ghosts to invade our temple today?"”
"I hate you guys to the core!" The female ghost in red shrieked," You stinky monks, you always pretend that you want to save all living beings. In the past few years, you've been killing our compatriots everywhere under the guise of ferrying souls. If we don't gather together to resist, won't we become meat on the chopping board?"”
"Amitabha." Jue Kong slightly understood and saluted with his palm raised."I understand your feelings, but the vengeful spirits are too vicious. On one hand, they will feel unbearable pain, and on the other hand, they will hurt other innocent creatures. Therefore, helping you enter the reincarnation is the right path.”
"Nonsense!" " Damn monk," the female ghost in red said resentfully." I've lived for thousands of years. I take pleasure in taking revenge on the living. Although my body is corroded by Yin Qi, I'm still happy!" You guys are really nosy!"
Jue Kong sighed." Benefactor, you are so vicious. If we leave you alone, it would be against Buddhism's way of saving all living beings."”
"Stupid monk! Don't think that you've won. I still have many brothers and sisters!”As the thousand-year-old female ghost spoke, she waved her red sleeves and the malicious ghosts from all directions gathered on the open space. Thousands of white-robed malicious ghosts each held a green lantern and flew in the air. The moonlight shone through their heavy figures, making them look extremely bleak and strange!
"Disciples of the Divine Martial Temple, listen up!" The curly-bearded monk, Liaochen, shouted out. He waved his hand and said,"Form the Adventure-transcending Vajra Formation!"
Speaking of the Adventure-transcending Vajra Formation, it was a special formation that protected the Divine Martial Temple. After hearing the order, the thousands of disciples present formed a grand lotus shape with the abbot as the center. Then, all the monks, led by the abbot, sat on the ground and began to recite Buddhist scriptures.
The effect of the array was very obvious. Soon, the ground within the range of the array gradually emitted golden light. Looking down from the sky, one could see a golden lotus gradually blooming with dazzling light. When the golden light was strong enough, it formed a golden pillar that shot into the sky!
The golden Buddha's light lit up the entire night sky. None of the vengeful souls in the Buddha's light could escape the fate of being ferried away. They were all purified by the Adventure-Avoiding Vajra Formation. Even the female ghost in red with a thousand years of cultivation was exhausted in this array. The Yin Qi was completely removed and it looked like she was about to be purified!
"Ah ~~~!" The female ghost in red screamed miserably and ran around in the air. However, she was bounced back when she hit the golden array wall. She shouted angrily,"I can't accept this! I can't accept this!" Just as she was about to accept her fate, she saw Xue Yan standing among the monks. Her eyes flashed red and she pounced towards her.
Xue Yan's appearance in the array at this moment could be said to be very inappropriate. This was because the female ghost in red knew how to use the possession technique. When the monks opened the array previously, she thought that there were only monks with strong willpower and strong Yang qi in the array. In this way, even if she found a monk to possess, she would be squeezed out very quickly. However, now that there was a girl with a stronger Yin qi here, wouldn't she be able to use the possession technique without worry?
The monks were so busy setting up the formation to eliminate the ghost that they forgot how dangerous it was for Xue Yan to be in the formation. Han Ye did not even think that the female ghost in red could possess someone. However, with a whoosh, the female ghost turned into a cloud of red mist and entered Xue Yan's delicate body.
Xue Yan's eyes suddenly widened. Before she could defend herself, she had already lost consciousness and lowered her head. When she raised her head again, her watery eyes were filled with blood. She jumped back and left the crowd. The nails on her right hand stretched out and pinched her fair neck. She said resentfully,"Stupid monk! Quickly remove the formation, or I'll kill this woman!”
By the time Jue Kong and Liaochen reacted, it was already too late. Xue Yan was being controlled by the female ghost. In order to save her, Jue Kong had no choice but to order the monks to remove the formation. At the same time, he was thinking about how to stabilize the female ghost.
Once the formation was removed, the golden light faded, and the female ghost in red became even more arrogant. She laughed shrilly and said,"Hahaha! Stinky monk, you always say that Buddha is merciful. Today, I'll let you show mercy and see how you save this woman!”As she spoke, the female ghost in red was about to stab her long nails into Xue Yan's snow-white neck.
"Wait!" Seeing that Xue Yan was possessed by a female ghost and was about to die, how could Han Ye not be anxious? However, in this situation, he couldn't stop it, because if he acted rashly, it was very likely that his companion would die. Therefore, Han Ye could only frown and say with a firm gaze,""Don't hurt her. We can discuss whatever you want to do, but if anything happens to her, I'll make sure your soul dissipates!”
"Oh? Negotiate? Sure!" Xue Yan, who was possessed by the female ghost in red, looked at the handsome man in front of her and suddenly smiled mysteriously. She turned around and pointed at Master Juekong."Then help me chop off this old monk's head. I promise I won't hurt a single hair on your lover's head, hahaha!”
Although the female ghost in red did not make a completely correct judgment, Han Ye clearly valued Xue Yan more than his own life. He could not just watch Xue Yan die and pull out the demonic sword on his back. His right hand gripped the hilt tightly, and his left hand clenched into a fist as he slowly walked toward Master Juekong.
"Han Ye! What are you doing!" Liaochen stood in front of Jue Kong and scolded angrily,"To think that my opinion of you has changed. Now, for the sake of your companion's life, you want others to die!”
Han Ye coldly said nothing, but Jue Kong, who was behind Liaochen, spoke up,""Amitabha. Liaochen, move aside. Almsgiver Xue is kind-hearted and saved Chengxin's life. It's worth it to exchange my life for hers.”
"Uncle-Master!" The bearded monk Liaochen frowned and wanted to say something, but Jue Kong raised his hand to stop him. Jue Kong walked up to Han Ye and placed the demonic sword in his right hand on his neck. At the same time, he put his palms together and said,"Almsgiver Han, do it. Saving a life is better than building a seven-storied pagoda. Since there is no other way, my death is destined. There is no need to regret it. Amitabha!”
"Hahaha." The female ghost laughed not far away,"Stupid monk, you're still talking nonsense when you're about to die."”As she spoke, she gave Han Ye a fierce look and said,""Kill him! I'll let your little lover go!"
When Han Ye heard this, he still placed his sword on Jue Kong's shoulder. However, the corners of his mouth suddenly curved into a faint smile.
