Chapter 139 Soul-Catching Lock

Yan Chixia knew that today’s matter could not be resolved peacefully. He glanced at Shi Po Tianshi, rushed forward, and shouted angrily: “You have disturbed the yin and yang and harmed lives. Today, I will enforce justice on behalf of heaven.”

The long sword was unsheathed, the sword light was like a rainbow, carrying a fierce murderous aura, pointing directly at the ghost soldiers.

Most of these ghost soldiers are the souls of soldiers who died on the battlefield in the mortal world.

They were haunted by evil spirits and held deep resentment, unable to reincarnate. Staying in the City of the Dead would easily lead to trouble, so they were taken in by the underworld.

Compared with ordinary wronged souls and evil spirits, these ghost soldiers are stronger and more brutal and violent. They are not afraid even when facing Yan Chixia.

However, lack of fear in courage cannot make up for the gap in strength.

puff!puff!puff!
Yan Chixia’s figure was as fast as lightning, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. He swung his sword and his sword energy was everywhere. Every sword strike carried the force of thunder.

Although there were a large number of ghost soldiers, they had almost no resistance in front of him. Wherever the sword light passed, the ghost soldiers scattered and turned into wisps of black smoke that dissipated into the air.

The locust tree spirit panicked, turned to look at the ghost general next to him, and shouted, “General Li!”

The ghost general snorted coldly and said, “If you don’t take action on your own matter, do you want me to take the lead for you?” However, he saw that Yan Chixia was very powerful, so he wanted to let the locust tree spirit go and test his bottom line for him.

Damn bastard!
Wait until I marry Xiaoqian to the king as a concubine, and then I will settle the score with you!

The locust tree spirit had no choice but to take action, making hand gestures and muttering something.

call–

A gust of evil wind blew, and all the grass and trees in the forest began to sway. The evil fog that had dissipated before reappeared out of nowhere, becoming thicker and thicker.

The figure of the locust tree spirit was hidden in the thick fog. When it found the right opportunity, it suddenly opened its mouth. With a whoosh sound, its scarlet tongue stabbed towards Yan Chixia like a poisonous snake.

I finally couldn’t help but take action!

Yan Chixia was delighted. This locust tree spirit liked to hide in the dark no matter what he did. He had long been on guard against sneak attacks from the locust tree spirit and had also prepared countermeasures.

Yan Chixia turned his body towards the direction where the tongue came from, and made sword gestures with both hands. He was about to use the art of borrowing power from the universe to urge the sword in the sword box behind him to come out of its sheath to eliminate the monster, when suddenly a white light flashed.

The locust tree spirit let out a scream and its tongue broke into two pieces.

The front half fell to the ground, and the back half shrank back directly, with sticky sap splattering everywhere.

However, it was Shi Potian who saw the locust tree spirit’s sneak attack and rushed forward.

Yan Chixia shouted, “Why are you still here?”

Shi Potian said: “Brother Yan, these monsters are also flesh and blood. They will be hurt if they are cut by a knife and will bleed if they are stabbed by a sword. I can help you deal with them.” He swung his sword and slashed at the ghost soldiers who were rushing towards him.

In an instant, the heads of several ghost soldiers were chopped off, but their bodies did not fall down. Instead, they continued to swing their weapons and kill Shi Potian.

next second.

Several sword lights flashed by.

The bodies of these ghost soldiers were instantly torn into pieces and scattered all over the ground. Although their souls were not harmed, the Yin Qi in their bodies was dispersed by Shi Potian’s true Qi, and their vitality was severely damaged. They no longer had the strength to fight.

Shi Potian turned his head to look at Yan Chixia. Just as he was about to speak, he felt a chill on his back and a sense of danger. He didn’t even have time to turn his head and instinctively dodged to the side.

Hua la la la——

A chain with a curved hook and claws came through the air and passed by Shi Potian.

Before Shi Potian could breathe a sigh of relief, it suddenly changed direction, like a living creature with intelligence, and rushed straight to Shi Potian’s vest. Shi Potian hurriedly dodged sideways, but the chain was chasing him like a maggot on his tarsal bone. No matter how he dodged, he couldn’t get rid of it, so he swung his sword back.

But the chain seemed to be non-existent, and when the sword slashed on it, it was as if it was slashing in the air, passing directly through the chain without touching it at all.

Yan Chixia’s face changed and he shouted, “Soul-catching Lock?!” and rushed towards Shi Potian.

The Soul-Catching Lock is between reality and illusion, yin and yang. Shi Potian doesn’t know how to use his soul and has no way of touching it.

More importantly, the Soul-Catching Lock can lock the breath of the soul. Once it is used, it will not stop until the target is tied up.

“Damn Taoist priest, where are you going?”

The voice of the locust tree spirit came from all directions.

Shrouded in fog, countless rustling sounds were heard, and roots and vines suddenly jumped out. The thick ones were as fierce and swift as pythons, and they covered the sky and the earth. The thin ones were like hair, hiding in the fog silently, making it impossible to guard against them.

“Heaven and earth are infinite, and the universe borrows the law!”

Yan Chixia said nothing, bit his finger, drew a talisman on his hand, and swung out several palm strikes.

boom! boom! boom!
Balls of golden light flew out from Yan Chixia’s palm, blasting the oncoming roots and vines into pieces.

However, the roots and vines of the locust tree spirit seemed endless. As soon as a batch of them were blown off, more vines emerged from the thick fog and madly entangled Yan Chixia.

The power of these roots and vines is far less than that of the locust tree spirit’s tongue, but they have the advantage of being numerous. Combined with the evil spirits in this forest, even Yan Chixia would not be able to escape for a while.

“Brother Shi, come towards me! The soul-binding lock of the underworld is designed to lock souls. You can’t block it or avoid it!” Yan Chixia anxiously reminded Shi Potian while swinging his sword to cut the vines.

Shi Potian had also realized how powerful the chain was, so he quickly retreated, using the terrain to avoid the pursuing soul-hook chain, and moved towards Yan Chixia.

hum!
A black and gray light flashed on the soul-catching lock, and then suddenly disappeared.

Shi Potian was stunned. Before he could react to what was happening, the Soul-Hooking Lock appeared out of nowhere at his side, suddenly retracted inwards, and tightly wrapped around him.

“not good!”

Shi Potian was shocked and was about to use his internal energy to break free from the chains, but suddenly he felt his body lighten and he was flying into the air, and his internal energy seemed to have disappeared and he could not use it anymore.

Bang!
There was a muffled sound behind him.

Look back.

I saw a man who was dressed and looked exactly like him falling heavily to the ground, his eyes dull, like an empty shell.

“This is… me?!”

Shi Potian suddenly realized something, and looked down at his body, only to find that his body had become translucent, just like those female ghosts he had seen before.

“My soul has left my body?”

Shi Potian was both shocked and surprised. He had never thought that he could see his own body from such a perspective. He tried to move his hands and feet, and looked around. He felt it was extremely amazing.

“Oops!”

Yan Chixia’s face changed drastically. Shi Potian’s abilities were all in his physical body. Suddenly he lost his physical body and he was completely reduced to a fish on the chopping board.

The ghost general’s eyes lit up and he laughed loudly: “It’s so bright and clear, without any dust or dirt! I never thought there would be such a pure soul in the world! I’ve made a lot of money on this trip!”
