Chapter 1643 Soul Demon
Chapter 1643 Soul Demon
Jizhou hovered in mid-air, its powerful divine sense probing downwards like mercury spilling onto the ground.
However, the thick gray fog seemed to devour divine sense, greatly limiting his range of perception. He could only vaguely sense the chaotic and evil energy fluctuations that filled the bottom of the ravine.
“My spiritual senses are blocked, and the situation below is unclear.” Ji Zhou calmly assessed, “Going down directly is too risky.”
Ye Chuhan stroked his chin: "It seems we need to find a way to dispel some of this troublesome gray fog."
Ji Zhou nodded, slowly raising his hands. The azure spiritual energy around him began to surge violently, even more powerful and vast than when he dealt with the snow wolf.
He took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, and pushed forward with both hands!
"Whirlwind Technique, Tornado!"
boom--!
A massive, sky-reaching, azure tornado suddenly formed, emitting a deafening howl, like a roaring wind dragon, plunging headlong into the thick gray fog!
The raging whirlwind tore and churned the gray fog, forcibly pushing it aside and lifting it high into the sky!
Where the tornado passed, the gray fog dissipated rapidly as if it had encountered its nemesis, revealing the deep, rocky bottom of the ravine below.
However, just as the gray fog was mostly dispelled, a sharp, piercing shriek, seemingly capable of directly attacking the soul, suddenly erupted from the bottom of the ravine!
Immediately afterwards, dozens of dark figures shot out like ghosts from the cracks in the rocks and the shadowy corners!
They had no physical form, as if they were formed from pure gray mist and resentment, their shapes were twisted and uncertain, and they exuded a strong aura of yin and evil, rushing straight at Jizhou and Ye Chuhan in mid-air!
"It's a demonic spirit! Be careful, this thing isn't very effective against physical attacks, it specifically targets the soul!"
Ye Chuhan's expression changed, and he hurriedly reminded them. At the same time, he formed a hand seal, and a hazy spiritual light shield enveloped the two of them, resisting the all-pervasive attack on their souls.
As Jizhou faced this sudden and bizarre attack, his eyes grew even colder.
He remained completely calm, pointing his fingers like a sword, gathering highly compressed azure wind spiritual power with an aura of exorcism at his fingertips.
"Wind Element Finger, Break Through Evil!"
He gave a low shout and tapped out with his fingertips!
Each condensed, tangible cyan finger strike, like a precise sniper bullet, instantly traversed space and fired at the onrushing evil spirits!
puff!puff!puff!
The finger wind, imbued with pure evil-dispelling spiritual power, seems to be a natural enemy and nemesis of these evil things.
Wherever the wind blows, the evil spirits let out a shrill scream, their bodies melting and disintegrating as quickly as ice and snow thrown into the blazing sun!
Ji Zhou's movements were lightning fast, his finger strikes were continuous, drawing streaks of blue in the air, and accurately killing the attacking evil spirits one by one!
However, these evil creatures seemed endless. As soon as one area was cleared, more malevolent spirits immediately emerged from the shadows of the rocks and the remnants of the mist, emitting even more shrill and ear-piercing screams, frantically attacking the spiritual light shield that Ye Chuhan had set up, causing violent ripples to spread across the surface of the shield.
"This will never end!"
Ye Chuhan frowned. Maintaining the protective barrier required a continuous consumption of spiritual energy, but the number of evil spirits did not seem to be decreasing. "This place is indeed strange. These evil spirits seem to have been spawned by something!"
Jizhou's eyes were sharp as he continued to eliminate the approaching evil spirits while calmly observing the bottom of the ravine.
His gaze pierced through the thin gray mist that was gradually gathering again, locking onto a huge black stone tablet deep in the ravine, radiating an ominous glow.
The area surrounding that stone tablet was filled with the most intense Yin energy, as if it were the source of all evil spirits.
"The source is there!" Ji Zhou said in a deep voice, pointing to the black stone tablet. "It must be destroyed!"
"Okay! I'll cover you!" Upon hearing this, Ye Chuhan immediately understood Ji Zhou's intention.
He took a deep breath, changed his hand seals, and the protective shield shone brightly, temporarily stabilizing itself.
At the same time, he shouted in a low voice: "Wind Binding Technique, Entangle!"
Countless fine, cyan wind strands flew from his hands, like nimble vines, not to attack the evil spirits, but to cleverly entangle and interfere with their movements, opening a brief passage for Jizhou.
Without the slightest hesitation, Ji Zhou transformed into a streak of azure lightning, rushing straight towards the black stone tablet along the passage opened up by Ye Chuhan!
The evil spirits that tried to block his way were either dispersed or skillfully avoided by him using the Wind Element Finger technique at an even faster speed.
In the blink of an eye, he had approached the stone tablet.
The closer you get, the more you can feel the chilling, sinister aura emanating from the stone tablet, a aura that corrodes your spirit.
The surface of the stone tablet was covered with distorted runes that did not belong to any known civilization, and it was slowly flowing with a dark red luster, like congealed blood.
Ji Zhou could feel that the closer he got to the stone tablet, the more his spiritual power and soul were suppressed and eroded by an invisible force!
"We must defeat them in one decisive blow!"
His mind raced, and he concentrated all his spiritual power into his right fist without reservation!
This time, it was no longer a sharp wind blade, but a strike that concentrated all its power and was intended to destroy with absolute force!
An unprecedentedly brilliant blue light shone from his fist, as if he were holding a small blue sun, and even the surrounding space was slightly distorted!
"break!"
Ji Zhou exhaled and unleashed a powerful punch, gathering all his strength, which slammed into the center of the black stone tablet!
Rumble——! ! !
A deafening roar echoed through the depths of Ghost Valley!
The violent blue spiritual energy clashed violently with the evil energy of the stone tablet, resulting in an explosion!
The black stone tablet trembled violently, the runes on its surface flickered wildly, and the dark red luster flashed erratically, emitting a teeth-grinding "crackling" sound.
Cracks spread rapidly from Jizhou's fist, like a spider web!
"Roar--!"
Accompanied by a piercing, inhuman roar filled with pain and resentment, the entire stone tablet finally succumbed to the destructive force and exploded into countless fragments that shot out in all directions!
The moment the stone tablet shattered, the dense Yin energy at the bottom of the ravine dissipated rapidly like a punctured balloon, and the evil spirits that had been attacking frantically let out a final, mournful wail.
The body twisted and faded like smoke, eventually disappearing completely without a trace.
The suffocating gray-white fog that permeated the Ghost Valley began to fade and dissipate at a visible speed, and the long-lost sunlight shone through the thinning fog onto this gloomy place.
The bottom of the ravine returned to deathly silence, leaving only the mess left by the stone tablet explosion and the lingering energy shockwaves in the air.
Jizhou was slightly out of breath; that punch had almost drained most of his spiritual power, but his eyes remained bright and sharp.
Ye Chuhan removed the protective shield, looked at the restored clarity of the Ghostly Abyss and the fragments of the stone tablet scattered on the ground, let out a long sigh of relief, patted Ji Zhou's shoulder hard, and his face was filled with amazement and praise.
"Well done, Jizhou! That punch just now, even an ordinary mid-stage Golden Core cultivator might not be able to withstand! Your strength is getting more and more monstrous!"
