With that, he unleashed a palm strike.
In an instant, five bursts of electricity erupted with a series of "bangs."
The two Huang Yi ghosts at the forefront, the strongest of their kind, were instantly electrocuted, their souls scattered.
At the same moment, Daoist Master Ju Cheng swooped in:
"Brother Tang, I'm here to help!"
Daoist Master Ju Cheng, wielding his long sword, went directly to assist his martial uncle.
Not only that, but seven or eight Wudang elders also leaped into the air, landing on the rooftops.
Several Hong Yi vengeful spirits charged forward, met by several Wudang elders who blocked them completely.
These elders were all senior figures of the Daoist sect, each immensely powerful.
Each one could hold off a Hong Yi level vengeful spirit, their cultivation profound.
They were the most elite masters in our profession.
Any one of them, if they stepped out, would be a major figure in their own right.
Meanwhile, the Taiji Exorcism Array suspended in the sky began to gradually lose its efficacy.
The floating talisman, after releasing its last vestige of power, turned to ash, and the Taiji Exorcism Array vanished.
The ghosts, thinking they had a moment to breathe,
Did not anticipate that Wudang Taoists would suddenly emerge from all directions.
"Brothers, quickly save our senior brother!"
"Kill! Leave not a single ghost."
"Act on behalf of Heaven, slay the demonic."
"Completely surround and kill the vengeful spirits here."
"..."
Wudang Taoists spoke one after another, commencing a comprehensive extermination of the surrounding specters.
And the most terrifying among them was undoubtedly True Master Cang Song.
True Master Cang Song, as the sect leader of Wudang, held a higher seniority than my martial uncle.
When he, an elder, was renowned throughout the Daoist traditions for slaying demons and eradicating evil,
My martial uncle and master were still learning the Dao from my grandmaster.
His ability to become the alliance leader and the head of a great sect like Wudang,
Placed his cultivation among the top three within the entire Daoist lineage.
As the Taiji Golden Light Exorcism Array disappeared, True Master Cang Song, clad in purple, suddenly emerged from not far away.
His speed was incredibly fast.
He held no sword, but a horsetail whisk in his hand.
Wherever he passed, a mere flick of the whisk would cause vengeful spirits and malevolent souls to be annihilated.
There was no question of blocking him; they likely couldn't even see True Master Cang Song before being instantly killed.
Witnessing the chaos, the heavy casualties among the ghosts,
And the terrifying release of True Master Cang Song's formidable energy, I felt a lingering fear.
I had only felt this level of energy fluctuation from Qing Dai.
It was truly immense.
He was indeed worthy of being the alliance leader of the current Daoist Alliance.
In my astonishment, Yun Xia Gu had already rushed to our side.
"Xiao Qin!"
Hearing Yun Xia Gu call me, I turned my head.
"Yun Xia Gu!"
I smiled, my body covered in blood.
Yun Xia Gu frowned slightly:
"You've worked hard. Retreat, leave the rest to us!"
I, however, smiled:
"Yun Xia Gu, I can still hold on. Killing one more ghost adds to the oil for the lamp."
I declared fiercely.
The Chimei Wangliang Suo had used up all my lamp oil.
It would be a true waste not to kill more to replenish it now.
Furthermore, I still wanted to continue fighting.
The fighting spirit in my heart was still ablaze.
As soon as I finished speaking, within the Purple Bone Vine, waves of demonic soul aura again emanated.
Yun Xia Gu was startled, showing some confusion.
Seeing this, I quickly explained:
"Yun Xia Gu, don't worry. These are my protective demonic souls!"
As soon as I finished speaking, except for four wounded demonic souls that did not appear,
Chen Long and the other eight demonic souls reappeared at my sides.
Yun Xia Gu was observing these eight demonic souls and found their strength to be considerable.
Before she could speak, Chen Long said:
"Young Master Qin, we shall help you seize the ghost lamp oil..."
"Thank you!"
I replied.
Following that, Chen Long and the others guarded me.
I said to Yun Xia Gu once more:
"Yun Xia Gu, I'm going to seize the lamp oil first!"
With that, I drew my sword and charged out.
However, the number of specters had already been reduced by more than half, the remaining ones were filled with fear and fleeing in all directions.
Yun Xia Gu watched as I, protected by the demonic souls, had already plunged into the ghost horde and begun to battle the specters again.
She paused, a hint of a gratified smile appearing on her lips; perhaps she saw the shadow of my master in me...
With the arrival of reinforcements, the situation began to turn as True Master Cang Song, the Wudang elders, my martial uncle, Daoist Master Ju Cheng, Yun Xia Gu, and others joined the fray.
The ten Hong Yi vengeful spirits were indeed terrifying; they represented a force that no single sect could ignore.
However, these ten Hong Yi vengeful spirits had been released prematurely and had not yet reached their true Blood Fiend state.
They had not yet transformed into the fearsome Hong Yi vengeful spirits of extreme Yin and extreme Fiend.
Ultimately, the strongest Hong Yi at this point,
Was only around the mid-Dao Body stage, and they lacked their own special abilities.
Now, True Master Cang Song alone, his cultivation having already broken through the Dao Body realm, had reached the astonishing Human King realm.
This was the highest level of cultivation in the world today.
The pinnacle of strength.
If the many Wudang elders, combined with my martial uncle in his current state, could merely hold off these Hong Yi ghosts,
Then True Master Cang Song's participation instantly changed the tide of battle.
With his cultivation, he alone could contend against the ten Hong Yi ghosts.
I felt his Dao cultivation might even be slightly higher than Qing Dai's.
While I, protected by the demonic souls, fought amidst the village to seize the ghost lives,
True Master Cang Song had already engaged the Hong Yi ghosts and Daoist Crow.
And the surrounding Wudang disciples, seeing me protected by demonic souls, were all dumbfounded, some finding it hard to believe.
"Why does Qin Ze have demonic souls protecting him?"
"Who knows!"
"Could he be a demon cultivator?"
"Are you an idiot? If Qin Ze were a demon cultivator, could he be here fighting vengeful spirits with us?"
"..."
Amidst the murmuring, the situation began to stabilize gradually.
The once aggressive ghost horde was constantly being slain, suffering heavy losses.
The situation was firmly under our control.
From now on, only Daoist Crow, the sole survivor, remained.
He was destined to die here...
