Chapter 112 – Ghost Race

Even though Yang Junshan’s Crushing Stone Technique was also destroyed by the opponent’s Practitioner Weapon, the other technique still struck the Cultivator surnamed Zhu’s protective technique solidly.

Dang! “A crisp sound that made people’s ears buzz rang out, that cultivator surnamed Zhu’s face turned white, the Diamond Protection around his body flickered, but he was sent flying by Yang Junshan’s huge force that was hidden within the technique.

With the youth surnamed Zhu taking the initiative to attack, the moment he was pushed back by Yang Junshan, the other three Tan Xi Sect cultivators took the opportunity to charge forward.

Yang Junshan had no choice but to give up the thought of killing Spirit Master Zhu. He stepped on the ground, and his entire body suddenly slipped ten meters back in the passage, causing all of the magic techniques the three of them were using to attack him from different directions to fail.

The three of them did not expect Yang Junshan to retreat so quickly. Although the three of them were also cultivators with Mortal Realm, they did not have the strength that Yang Junshan or the others had. Instead, they had managed to cultivate the techniques to such an extent when they were at the fifth stage of the Mortal Realm.

Their inner elemental energy was limited, and they could only cast a few spells with their innate spells. Moreover, they needed a certain amount of time to prepare to cast the spells. Aesult, the three of them calculated that their attacks would be ineffective for a short period of time.

The instant Yang Junshan pushed the bow open, he grabbed it with his hand, and the moment a blazing rocket landed on the bowstring, it was already shooting towards the person in front.

The young cultivator was immediately shocked. He could still clearly see Yang Junshan’s godly might on the slope before, but now that the passage was narrow, it would be inconvenient for him to dodge it. Furthermore, the moment the rocket exploded, half of the passage would be covered.

“If we join hands and block this attack, we will only be imprinting talismans and it will not be the true power of the Ardent Flame Technique!”

The youth roared out. However, he did not receive the response of his two companions behind him. When he turned around, he saw that the two of them had already pushed them far away!

“You all…”

Whoosh! The talisman exploded and a ball of fire engulfed the young cultivator.

“Ahhhhhhhhh!”

Another miserable scream sounded out, and the young man’s entire body became like a ball of fire, colliding back and forth in the passage, causing Yang Junshan to feel waves of surprise.

It was just like what the young cultivator had said. Its power was completely unable to compare to the true blazing fire magic, not to mention the three of them joining hands, even if the young man were to focus on dealing with the arrow alone, he might still be able to defend against the arrow.

However, just as Yang Junshan’s arrow flew over, two of the three people immediately ran away. The remaining one actually forgot to defend against the iron feather talisman arrow because of his anger, and was burnt to death by the flames on the talisman arrow. This truly made Yang Junshan speechless.

But Yang Junshan was not going to be merciful at this point of time, it was clear that the four ambushing him outside the stone room was for the sake of killing him, especially that fat man surnamed Zhu.

then rushed towards the two young cultivators from Tan Xi Sect who had left their comrades behind. The courage of the two had long been taken away by their companions who were burned alive, and when they saw Yang Junshan running after them, they turned around and ran, but when Yang Junshan ran over, he realised that the fat cultivator surnamed Zhu was already nowhere to be seen.

Yang Junshan suddenly realised, that fat guy had actually ran away when he was pushed back by Yang Junshan, but because the attack from before brought the other three people to attack Yang Junshan, and at the same time cut off the other two people for him, the reason why the other two cultivators left their comrades to flee, was probably because they saw that the fat cultivator had already disappeared, and thus were at a loss as to what to do.

Yang Junshan had the intention to kill that surnamed Zhu, but since the cave was connected to every direction, and he could not find any traces of the surname Zhu, he ran towards the other large stone room in his memories.

Xu Jing brought four disciples of the Heaven-Shaken Sect and were gnashing their teeth while looking at the four cultivators of the Tan Xi Sect. The leader, the girl with big eyes, Yan Qinxi, was happily playing with the snail like item in her hands and said: “Miss Xu wants this item, too bad you were a step too late, the treasure is already mine!”

Xu Jing brought the remaining Heaven-Shaken Sect cultivators and followed the directions that Zhang Yueming pointed out, and halfway through, they found two stone rooms, from within they obtained many things, and even repelled a few Tan Xi Sect cultivators.

Unexpectedly, after finding a large stone door that looked different from the other stone rooms, a few Heaven-Shaken Sect disciples excitedly pushed open the stone door. The moment they pushed it open, a human figure suddenly flashed past the corner of the passage, and rushed into the stone room ahead of the rest of the Heaven-Shaken Sect.

After that, although the disciples of the Heaven-Shaken Sect were also roaring with rage as they rushed in, they only managed to snatch two of the three items from the stone room, while Yan Qinxi, who had suddenly barged into the stone room, took the rest.

The disciples of the Heaven-Shaken Sect were naturally not willing to let go of a treasure that had been stolen. Especially after Xu Jing saw that the treasure in Yan Qinxi’s hands was a conch, she was even more anxious to surround Yan Qinxi and try to take it back.

However, just at this time, three more Tan Xi Sect cultivators suddenly rushed in from outside to assist Yan Qinxi, who was besieged. The caught off guard, Heaven-Shaken Sect cultivators suddenly attacked and injured two of them from behind, allowing Yan Qinxi to escape.

Xu Jing said with a cold face: “This treasure is clearly ours, and the stone room’s door was opened by us as well. Young miss Yan took advantage of when we were unprepared to snatch our treasures, her methods were too despicable!”

Yan Qinxi was shocked: “Even if this is just some underhanded methods, it doesn’t matter, you can still come to steal our treasures later on, you have five of us, but we are only four, it seems like you guys have the advantage!”

The passage was narrow, it was not easy to allow two cultivators to fight side by side. Although Xu Jing and the rest had one more person, they could not utilize the advantage in numbers in the tunnel, not to mention that two of them were slightly injured.

Xu Jing knew that words would be useless, but she really needed that conch, so she asked: “Speak, what do you want to give up on that conch?”

“I heard that you can hear the sound of the sea from the shell of a conch?”

Yan Qinxi placed the conch next to her ear, and laughed softly: “Miss Xu’s innate technique seems to be very compatible with this conch, but I also really like this conch, and being a toy is not bad too!”

Xu Jing’s face instantly turned ashen. Not only was the clanging sound clam compatible with the gifted secret technique she was cultivating, this clam itself was also an extremely good quality spirit material. In the future, Xu Jing could use the characteristics of the clanging sound clam to refine a lifeblood tool, and her own strength would definitely increase greatly because of this.

Just at that moment, Xu Jing’s left ear moved slightly, and suddenly shouted: “Are you really not going to trade?”

Yan Qinxi laughed and said: “After I finish playing, I might want to switch. How about Miss Xu follow me to Tan Xi Sect, when we become juniors, I’ll give you this conch for free?”

Xu Jing’s ears suddenly twitched, a look of hesitation flashed past her face, then suddenly revealed a strange smile: “No need, I will personally take it, do it!”

With that said, he threw out three green leaves towards Yan Qinxi.

The disciples of the Heaven-Shaken Sect also did not expect Xu Jing to suddenly choose to take action, she obviously could not use it in the passage, and Yan Qinxi, who was the leader of the group, was extremely strong, and was able to hold on for a moment under the combined attacks of the five, there was no point in fighting, but seeing that Master Xu had already started, the others could not watch, and so they all made their moves.

However, right at this moment, a miserable scream came out from behind Tan Xi Sect, a bright pillar of blood sprayed onto the top of the stone walls of the tunnel, splashing everywhere, a cultivator from Tan Xi Sect whose head fell on the ground had his eyes opened wide, imprinting himself on the eyes of the dejected man.

Tan Xi Sect was suddenly attacked from behind, and not only was the people of Tan Xi Sect in a mess, Yan Qinxi was also shocked, she anxiously blocked Xu Jing’s attack and pasted her entire body on the two sides of the path, at the same time looking behind him.

The morale of the people of Heaven-Shaken Sect rose, they thought that Zhang Yueming had rushed over to support them, but only Xu Jing had a suspicious look on her face. Just now, she had clearly heard the footsteps approaching the killed cultivator of Tan Xi Sect, how could she not see him?

Just then, the indiscernible yet hurried footsteps was once again discovered by Xu Jing’s innate technique. Xu Jing’s face suddenly changed, as she imitated Yan Qinxi’s movements towards the side of the stone wall, at the same time she anxiously shouted out: “Dodge!”

The cultivators of the Heaven-Shaken Sect were baffled. Even the enemies did not hide?

But immediately after, a Heaven-Shaken Sect cultivator’s throat was cut open, the Heaven-Shaken Sect cultivator’s mouth made a “ge ge” sound, he used all his strength to cover the blood that was spurting out from his throat, but his entire body fell to the ground.

This time, not only the cultivators of Tan Xi Sect, but even the cultivators of Heaven-Shaken Sect were terrified. Two cultivators of their respective sects were mysteriously killed, yet they could not even see the figure of the murderer.

Xu Jing suddenly threw out three leaves, and a few light footsteps came over. The three leaves directly sank three inches into the opposite stone wall, obviously the invisible killer she heard had already dodged.

“Ah — —” A Heaven-Shaken Sect disciple’s chest was stained with a little red, and quickly spread to his entire chest.

“Bastard, who the hell are you!”

The leaves on the right suddenly flew outwards, as if they had been knocked away by someone. Xu Jing immediately pointed in that direction with her finger, and with a “hu la la” sound, the leaves all rushed towards that direction. There was a “chi la” sound, as if clothes were being torn apart, and then, a piece of green cloth floated down from the sky.
