"I looked at Jiang Junci with a smile and said, 'You're alone, and there are three of us. I want to know, one against three, how can you win against me?'

Jiang Junci shook his head and said, 'It's not one against three, but one against one.'

'Ye Yang is skilled in feng shui, and when he gets to Maozi Mountain, he'll definitely choose to open graves. The Ye family's Dian Jing Huo Long (Dotting Eyes Activating Dragon) uses space to explore the earth's veins. As soon as he puts his hand in the soil, that hand will be useless for a while.'

As I glanced to the side, I saw that Ye Yang's right hand, hanging at his side, was already dripping black blood from his fingertips, and his palm was trembling.

For a swordsman, an unsteady sword hand means he is no longer connected to the sword.

As I looked at Jiang Junci, my gaze turned icy. Jiang Junci spoke again, 'I deliberately placed the Shati Corpse King underground to further eliminate Ye Yang's threat.'

'From a feng shui perspective, Maozi Mountain and Jiufen Gou (Nine Graves Gulch) are connected. Once something happens to Maozi Mountain, the Jiufen Gou formation can't be activated either. Ye Yang can only use the Xie Bing Leng Yan (Evil Weapon Cold Flame) to suppress the earth's veins. A swordsman without a sword is as good as half-crippled. But…'

Jiang Junci changed his tone, 'I'm still not at ease with Ye Yang. So, I've prepared an unparalleled swordsman for him.'

I followed Jiang Junci's gaze and saw a long sword nailed to a wooden stake, emitting a faint, cold light. The skeleton chained beneath the sword also stood up.

The aura on the skeleton seemed to merge with the light on the sword.

It was hard to tell whether we were facing an unparalleled swordsman or a skeleton.

As my eyes narrowed slightly, Jiang Junci spoke again, 'The nine coffins sent by the Yin spirits are both the burial places of those nine women and the implements of the Coffin Gate.'

'Among those present, only Lin Zhao and I can lock down the nine coffins. If Lin Zhao doesn't suppress the nine coffins, there will be nine more Blood Sha (Blood Evil) wronged souls here, comparable to ghosts and gods.'

'The enraged Blood Sha wronged souls don't distinguish between friend and foe. If no one suppresses those nine coffins, maybe you and I can escape, but Ye Yang will definitely die.'

'Hall Master Li, I think you can't bear to leave your brother, right?'

Jiang Junci smiled, 'What's left is the showdown between you and me. However, Jiang has taken advantage of Hall Master Li.'

I narrowed my eyes slightly. Jiang Junci said he had taken advantage of me because he repeatedly targeted Ye Yang, just to disrupt my mental state. In a duel between experts, strength and mental state each account for half. A disturbed mind leads to disordered moves, and the attack will fall into a disadvantage.

Jiang Junci cupped his fist and said, 'Hall Master Li, please give me your guidance!'

As Jiang Junci's voice fell, the light on the long sword on the wooden stake contracted, becoming ordinary and unremarkable. At first glance, it looked like an abandoned, useless sword, but the hidden sword intent made people shudder.

The sword intent on Ye Yang's body was also rising steadily. He was like a sharp sword, his aura fully revealed. The sword qi condensed into shape, the sword blade tore through the air, and the sword's cry moved around Ye Yang. Lin Zhao's expression changed slightly, and he quickly transmitted his voice to me, 'Li Po, take Ye Yang and leave first. I'll release the Blood Sha Yin souls and fight Jiang Junci.'

Lin Zhao knew that Ye Yang had already lost.

Ye Yang, transforming his body into a sword, still remained within the realm of swordsmanship.

The White Bone Swordsman was unassuming, but he had already merged with the Sword Dao.

Comparing the two, the difference was clear.

As Lin Zhao was about to say something more, the nine graves exploded at the same time. The clods of earth stirred up by the Sha qi flew into the air. The nine coffins seemed to sense something, and the tightly closed lids vibrated at the same frequency. The sound of the coffins colliding rang through the sky.

Lin Zhao formed a seal with both hands and pressed down at the same time, 'Suppress!'

The red light between Lin Zhao's ten fingers flickered, and four coffins seemed to be drawn by the magic in Lin Zhao's hand, stopping their vibration at the same time.

Cries came from the other five coffins, and the soil near the coffins gradually turned blood-red.

The sudden appearance of blood soil, formed by the Sha qi becoming so dense, meant that the wronged souls were about to break out of the coffins.

In the next moment, five wronged souls floated above the coffins. Five women in blood-red wedding dresses revealed most of their bodies from the coffins, but they seemed to be entangled by something, and from the knees down, they were all submerged in the coffins, unable to break free.

Drops of cold sweat trickled down Lin Zhao's forehead. 'I can't suppress the nine coffins. I can only help you delay. Leave quickly!'

If Lin Zhao couldn't control the nine coffins, I could only kill Jiang Junci before the remaining five wronged souls broke out of the coffins.

Jiang Junci smiled, 'Hall Master Li, if you don't act, it will be too late.'

I smiled faintly, 'No rush! The person who should come hasn't arrived yet. Why should I be in a hurry to act?'

Jiang Junci's expression changed slightly. He hadn't been wasting words with me; he had been waiting for the best opportunity.

Jiang Junci was a skilled hunter. Hunters all have a consensus: the dying beast is also the most terrifying. They won't approach the prey easily or launch a fatal blow until the prey has exhausted its last burst of strength.

Jiang Junci was waiting for the moment when Ye Yang and Lin Zhao had both failed, and I was at a loss.

When I suddenly told him that someone hadn't arrived yet, Jiang Junci's expression immediately changed."
