Not because all true people are overconfidence, but more because the epidemic ghost is too cunning!
When a true person is present, the judgment on the epidemic ghost is that he has withdrawn the earth ghost and is waiting for an opportunity to escape.
Even I didn't expect that the epidemic ghost would face the situation positively!
He clearly only had the outcome of fleeing in disarray in the face of Mao Xi and Mao Su.
I want to help, but I can't. The Wu Yong and Shu PoPo in front of me, as well as the ground ghosts following them and charging towards me, pose a great threat!
The headless woman seemed to be struggling and suffering greatly.
Her trembling body seemed to be driven by the earth energy to attack me, but her tenacious willpower held her back and she didn't move.
In an instant, Wu Yong and Shu PoPo advanced to within a few feet of me. The earth ghosts behind them pounced on me simultaneously!
Suddenly, a pitch-black hole appeared beneath my feet, making me feel as if I were walking in mid-air!
My reaction speed was incredibly fast!
The Four Rules Mirror's light flashed down suddenly, and in the flash of copper light, the earth energy dissolved instantly, and I did not fall into the hole.
Without waving the Chime One Jade in the other hand, it was quickly retrieved and taken out, and the Gao Tian Sword was quickly swung!
The bronze sword already had the effect of warding off evil spirits, and the Gao Tian Sword was even more so. The sword strike down made those earth ghosts instantly extinguish and failed to immediately coalesce into a solid form.
Wu Yong and Shu Po Po were even beheaded by me!
My first attack repelled them!
At the moment, one-third of the disciples from Juqu Mountain were killed or wounded, with more than twenty people, leaving only about thirteen or fourteen.
They quickly gathered together in a group, facing away from each other, with their backs to each other and their fronts facing the earth spirits.
Under the unison of chanting spells and performing magical arts, they were able to drive back the earth spirits.
The earth ghosts surrounding us were still numerous, and the dark mass began to approach again!
This scene was tens of times more menacing than the previous Ghost Niche using the Hundred Corpse Array to seal off the Long Feng Dao Guan.
"Listen to my command, maintain formation, and exit through the gate on that side!" I ordered without hesitation.
In such a situation, I can use magical instruments to save myself, but these disciples can only die.
I have to wait until He You Tian and the others discover the abnormality, find out that they are in the ominous prison of the plague ghost, and only after breaking open can they change. Before that, I must try my best to save these disciples' lives!
All the disciples of Juqu Mountain looked apprehensive and restless without exception.
I quickly walked to the round array they had formed!
At this time, the headless woman followed me.
One of the Taoists suddenly shot out a bronze sword, and the headless woman let out a deep, piercing scream before being forced to retreat!
I can't do anything else, it's impossible for them to stop in this situation.
Fortunately, the earth ghosts are not so easy to destroy.
The second wave of attacks surged suddenly.
I cocked my fingers and chanted spells, then suddenly swept my sleeve, releasing the copper sword on my body!
The wave of attacks in front of me was dispersed, but the other disciples were struggling to hold on!
My heart palpitated slightly, for the earth ghosts were simply too numerous!
Compared to this scene, the so-called "One Hundred Ghosts at Night" are indeed very weak.
"One step, Tian Xing Hu; Two steps, Xiun Fu; Three steps, Shui Niu Li; Four steps, Xiong Xia Miai; Five steps, Lei Shen Wng; Six steps, Li Ding Shen; Seven steps, Qing Long Jia Tai Yi!"
In the midst of the spells, I quickly swept past the round formation of the Juqu Mountain disciples.
Each of these spells has a different step to accompany it, with the effect of calming evil spirits and dispelling malice.
However, the last sentence integrates all the moves, converging into one point, making it better for attacking or harming ghost spirits.
By going around them once, I forced back quite a few earth ghosts.
When I returned to the original point, the third wave of earth ghosts had already rushed up!
"Causing the heavenly fire to explode from ten thousand miles away!"
No longer using the sword, no longer using my palm.
I tightly grip the Four Rules Mirror in both hands and push it out suddenly!
The ice-cold mirror body instantly became extremely scorching hot. The blazing copper light that burst out seemed like a massive explosion of fire, wiping out all the earth ghosts in front of me!
The disciples of Juqu Mountain were overjoyed!
Our footsteps are extremely fast, and we have already reached the front of the community.
However, there are more earth ghosts outside, and they are more crowded.
From this angle, one can see that the elders and disciples who are guarding the array's seal are showing signs of being overburdened and suffering. Yet, they are still reciting spells and struggling to hold on.
My heart sinks once again.
"Notify the true people that this is a decoy plan. We cannot fall for it!" an anxious disciple shouted.
I know the seriousness of this situation all too well.
The plague ghost, alone and using his own strength, lured the true people into a trap and used the earth ghosts to break through the seals and restraints of various Daoist temples!
Once the earth ghosts escape, it would be a severe blow to all the Daoist temples.
"You go out! Only then can I find that node!"
"Once you go out, help Zhuoxiang Dao Ren continue to reinforce the array!" I was extremely serious.
At this moment, another wave of earth ghosts surged forward!
I shouted again: "You defend yourselves behind me, I'll clear the way!"
In the current situation, fighting constantly will definitely result in exhaustion and death.
Tang Wu and the others must have noticed us, but they cannot come to our aid. They must hold the array seal!
The disciples of Juqu Mountain once again struggled to perform Daoist magic, almost all of them with their veins bulging, reaching their limit in strength!
I held the Four Rules Mirror in one hand, and with the other hand, I took out a piece of talisman paper, suddenly covering the mirror surface.
It was just a gesture, and the other hand quickly inscribed talismans on the back of the Four Rules Mirror.
"Fire crystal phoenix, dragon scales. Fly the talisman in front, cut down evil spirits. Whoever dares to be an evil being, let it be lost and disappear. The majesty of the Dao spreads everywhere, devouring ghosts and absorbing spirits. Fast! Fast! As the Law commands!"
The spell chanted in my mouth echoed throughout the surroundings.
With a snorting sound, the talisman paper covering the Four Rules Mirror scattered out suddenly, resembling feathers scattered across the sky. The flames shot up abruptly as these talismans ignited simultaneously!
As the flying talismans stop in front of me, the sky is filled with flames, resembling flying phoenixes!
The earth ghosts in a large area were dispersed by this spell, collapsing into pitch-black earth energy.
The strongest group of earth ghosts should have appeared in the first few waves of attacks. Even though the plague ghost is formidable, he doesn't have enough time to gather so many terrifying evil spirits. Most of them are a motley crew.
Of course, if he were to obtain those ghosts from Song Fang, the situation might be entirely different.
"That's great! The path of life has opened up!" The disciples of Juqu Mountain were overjoyed. They had successfully repelled another wave of earth ghost attacks and began to run out into the community, all excited!
Outside the community, they were only a few dozen meters away from the other elders and Taoists by the roadside. Although there were many earth ghosts, their morale was high, and they were no longer to be feared!
My hand was in immense pain, as if it had been burned. However, my heart had calmed down quite a bit.
To have the strength of all the earth ghosts be the same as at the beginning, that would be truly despairing.
But just at this moment, I noticed something was off.
The disciples of Juqu Mountain charging towards the array-guarding elders are not the same number as before!
It was clearly stated earlier that they had already lost one-third of their number, but now, there are an additional twenty people!
The elders and disciples guarding the array did not notice this anomaly. In fact, some of them were about to snuff out the purple burning incense.
Even Tang Wu did not notice anything amiss. He nodded at me, showing approval with his eyes!
"I cannot let them go out!" My pace quickened abruptly, and I roared loudly!
Tang Wu's smile on his face instantly froze. He shouted as well, "Stop! Do not open the array!"
