The surrounding soil parted like waves, and at the moment it rushed out of the ground, the originally faint roar suddenly became loud and clear.
"laugh!"
Almost at the same time, there was a chirping sound in his ears, as if something agile was rushing towards him from behind.
"Um?"
Yang Ji frowned slightly and his eyes were cold. Without thinking, he held the bloodthirsty sword in his hand and turned around with a swipe. There was a sound of a sharp object piercing the flesh and blood, snap! Almost at the moment when Yang Ji turned around, his head and whole body turned pale.
, the evil-shaped monster that looked like a human but not human passed by and fell to the ground.
A ferocious head with cracked yellow teeth flew high and landed on the ground. And the body of the missing head actually stood up again after a blow, and its two pale claws scratched in the void several times.
After finding nothing, he fell to the ground tremblingly.
"What a strong vitality!"
Yang Ji's eyelids twitched, secretly surprised.
The scene just now left a very deep impression on him. He had never seen anything like this before. After his head fell off, he could actually stand up.
And after cutting off its head, no blood spurted out from the broken neck.
"What is this? I haven't seen it before?"
Yang Ji kicked the monster's body. After confirming that the monster was indeed dead, he had time to look at the head that fell to the side.
This head was made of skin and bones, and looked evil and terrifying, just like a human head, but Yang Ji was sure that no one would look like this.
There is no human being who looks like this, and it is even less likely that a human being can stand up after his head falls off without bleeding from his neck.
"It's so strange."
Yang Ji was secretly surprised. He had seen all kinds of ferocious beasts, ferocious beasts, spiritual beasts, and ancient creatures like the ancient armadillo. But he had never seen anything like this with a strong aura of death and darkness.
In particular, there is rotten and fishy liquid everywhere in its body, which is disgusting to smell.
Suddenly, Yang Ji's heart moved, and he seemed to remember something in his mind.
"Huh? This...how does this thing look like the evil ghost that Senior Brother Zhao mentioned? Isn't this kind of thing a creature from the underworld? Why does it appear here?"
Yang Ji looked at the corpse on the ground and was shocked.
This place is not too far from Langya City, and the appearance of creatures from the underworld in such a place is simply surprising.
"Didn't Senior Brother Zhao say that there are two sect disciples who seem to have been killed by evil spirits, but they are not sure yet. Could this be true? But Ten Thousand Tombs Ridge is so far away from here, how could there be evil spirits from the underworld coming there?
Are you here?"
Yang Ji was shocked.
Almost instantly, Yang Ji immediately realized that something big might have happened when the martial arts examination was being held. It was no small matter that creatures from another world appeared in the earthly world.
Judging from the performance of the underworld ghost just now, if it appeared in a crowded market, it would definitely cause huge harm.
"call!"
The mountain wind howled, and Yang Ji raised his head. It was at this time that Yang Ji discovered that at some point, the sky was slightly dim, and there seemed to be a thin layer of gauze-like dark clouds deep in the sky coming from the northwest.
But Yang Ji can be sure that it is definitely not a dark cloud.
"who?"
Yang Ji's face changed slightly, and he suddenly turned around and lowered his right hand. At the same time, with a buzzing sound, the bloodthirsty sword flew up, suspended in the void, and cold murderous intent shot out from the tip of the sword.
"No, don't kill me..."
A weak voice came from more than ten feet away. Under a big tree with lush branches, there was a crash, and a thin young man in simple clothes slid down from the tree trunk.
"I, I don't mean any harm."
The thin young man looked at Yang Ji and waved his hands. His eyes were filled with fear.
"It turns out that you attracted that evil spirit."
Yang Ji understood, and immediately withdrew the bloodthirsty sword with his palm.
Evil ghosts don't appear here for no reason. Now it seems that they may be attracted by this young villager.
"I, I live in the village to the north..."
When the thin young man saw Yang Ji retracting his long sword, he relaxed a lot. He swallowed his saliva and bravely said:
"This thing is very powerful. I don't know... I wonder if I can ask you to come over and help us. I'm afraid these things will be detrimental to us."
The thin young man finally expressed his request, and it turned out to be a nearby villager.
"I see."
Yang Ji nodded: "Don't worry, I will go."
An evil ghost from the underworld was found so close to Langya City. Even if the other party didn't tell them, Yang Ji would still go and have a look. Search to see if it was just an occasional one or if there were many.
"Let's go, show the way. I'll take you."
Yang Ji grabbed the thin young man, used the Floating Light Body Technique to shoot him away, and quickly disappeared into the mountains.
With Yang Ji's current strength, he can easily lift objects weighing several thousand kilograms, let alone carrying only one person.
In just a short while, Yang Ji arrived at the village the thin young man was talking about. It was a small village built deep in the mountains, with more than a dozen houses lined up in rows.
When Yang Ji rushed over, the doors of every house were closed, and women screamed in surprise.
On the street, two evil ghosts from the underworld were attacking a farmer's house.
Without any time to think, Yang Ji used the Floating Light Body Technique to the limit, and whoosh! The sword swung, blood flashed, and the bodies of the two evil ghosts were exhausted, and they fell to the ground without even making a sound.
"You go in first, I'll go take a look around."
With these words, Yang Ji swayed and left the village. In the nearby woods and piles of rocks not far away, Yang Ji found two wandering ghosts from the underworld.
After killing them one by one and confirming that there were no other evil spirits nearby, Yang Ji left with peace of mind.
"What exactly is going on?"
Yang Ji was confused. He had lived in Langya County for many years and had never seen these things before. Even the word "evil ghost", Yang Ji heard about it from Zhao Hua after he later joined the Iron Crown Sect.
.
"I hope it's not too much..."
Yang Ji thought to himself.
Due to the appearance of these evil spirits, Yang Ji completely changed his plan and used the Floating Light Body Technique to head north.
Along the way, Yang Ji encountered several evil spirits from the underworld. After killing them one by one, he also made a special detour to save several villages.
It must be said that it was a fluke that because it was in the vast mountains, there were very few villages like the ones we encountered before. However, there were a few sects like the Iron Crown Sect.
This also prevents the appearance of these evil spirits from causing too much harm and turmoil.
Yang Ji suddenly remembered the previous battle with Yang Xuanlan, his heart moved, and he immediately seemed to understand something.
"Yang Xuanlan left in a hurry without even having half a cup of tea. Could it be because of this incident..."
Yang Ji lowered his head, thoughtfully:
"There are creatures from the underworld actually appearing in Langya County. This is no small matter. If something goes wrong, Yang Xuanlan won't be able to eat and walk around. It seems that this is really possible."
"call!"
As the mountain wind hit, Yang Ji raised his head and saw that above his head, the mist-like "shadow" deep in the sky had deepened a lot. The void was filled with darkness and an evil smell.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Yang Ji felt that the plants around him seemed slightly wilted. They were not as vibrant as spring plants.
"Maybe I'm thinking too much."
Shaking his head, Yang Ji suppressed his thoughts and headed all the way over the mountains to the Iron Crown Sect.
Along the way, the further north you go, the more underworld creatures appear. After crossing hundreds of miles of mountains and killing dozens of wandering underworld evil spirits, Yang Ji finally arrived at the border of the Iron Crown Sect after about three days.
Looking from a distance, the mountains stand tall, and a golden hall with flying masts and brackets protrudes from the mountains, pointing straight into the sky.
"finally reached."
Yang Ji stood on the tall mountain peak, looked at the incense curling in the distance, and smiled slightly.
After so many days, I finally returned to the sect.
"It seems that the sect is relatively calm."
Yang Ji thought to himself, and was about to spread out his body and return to the Iron Crown Sect. Suddenly he heard a woman's scream:
"ah!--"
"Help!——"
The screams were mixed with the sounds of a fight.
"Huh? Someone!"
Yang Ji's eyes flashed, and he immediately followed the voice and looked over: "It seems to be at the stream."
The Tieguanpai waterfall flows rapidly every year, pouring down from the mountains. It has long since formed a winding, jade-belt-like stream in the mountains.
Yang Ji took a look. He felt that the sound seemed to be coming from the other side of the stream. However, the mountains were scattered among the mountains, the terrain was complicated, and some pines, cypresses and bamboos obscured the sound, making it difficult to see clearly for a while.
"Go over and have a look."
Yang Ji spread out his body, jumped directly from the mountain with his feet. After falling a few feet, he folded on the protruding rocks on the cliff to reduce the speed of his fall, and then somersaulted. After about three or four feet, the soles of his feet
He stepped on a protruding pine branch, then shot several feet away, and finally thrust his long sword horizontally into the rock, and easily fell back to the ground along the cliff.
"Whoosh!"
Yang Ji stretched out his sleeves, and like a big bird fluttering its wings, it stepped on the exposed gravel on the stream and flew over. Around a raised rock, Yang Ji immediately saw three young men and women.
These three people were very strange to Yang Ji, and he had never seen them before. However, they were wearing the Taoist uniforms of the Iron Crown Sect. They were sweating profusely from fighting five evil spirits, and each of them was covered in paint.
The martial arts skills of the three were not bad, but there were too many evil spirits around. Especially the female disciple, who was obviously naturally afraid of the disgusting appearance of the underworld creatures, and was completely unable to do anything about it.
The three of them were entangled by five evil spirits and were in danger. It was unclear how long they could last. All three of them were injured to varying degrees.
"Senior brother, help us quickly!——"
The three of them were fighting and retreating. The beautiful female disciple's sharp eyes caught sight of Yang Ji who suddenly appeared.
"Ah!"
Yang Ji smiled and came back to his senses. He held out two fingers and just pointed one, whoosh! The sword energy suddenly rose, and a rainbow light flew out from Yang Ji's waist, zigzagging around the three of them like lightning.
Soon it was back in Yang Ji's hands.
"alright."
Yang Ji stretched out his palm, caught the bloodthirsty sword, and said with a slight smile. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
