Volume 1: Zhao Shanhe Chapter 91: The Method of Bringing the Dead Back to Life
When the young man's expression suddenly changed, waves of surging mana spewed out from his body without any explanation.
A force of ice and coldness also swept away from the stream of light!
Almost instantly, the magic power containing rich water vapor solidified in the power of ice. As the cold wind roared, even the opponent's body was condensed with a layer of frost.
At the same time, Ji Yuan threw the long sword in his hand in anger. There was no sword light flowing or any sword energy. Only Pu Hua's dull sword body broke through the air in the wind and snow.
.
Immediately after hearing a 'pop' sound, the long sword was inserted into the ground, the hilt and body of the sword were still shaking slightly.
With the next breath, the wind and snow in the sky suddenly disappeared, and the stream of light flew back, manifesting into a palm-sized shuttle next to Song He, with an icy blue halo flowing on it.
On the other hand, the young man who was exuding a demonic aura was currently maintaining a posture with his arms stretched forward. His body was covered with a layer of light blue frost, and he was surrounded by streaks of frozen mana.
After a few breaths, his body suddenly shook, the frost clinging to his body shattered one after another, and the frozen mana whizzed up again, coiling around him and making a whistling sound.
Just as an angry look appeared on the young man's face, and he was about to slap him forward with his palm, a bloodstain quietly appeared on his left arm and shoulder.
puff!!!
Before he could react, a left arm flew into the air, and blood with aqua-blue brilliance splashed all over the floor!
He looked back in shock and anger, and his eyes fell on the long sword inserted into the ground. As a severed arm fell to the ground, he suddenly opened his mouth and spit out a beam of light, as if to roll in the long sword on the ground.
At this moment, an angry shout came from a distance.
"Yuanbao! Kill him!"
Clang!!!
A sword chant rose into the sky, and streaks of fierce sword energy suddenly burst out from the seemingly simple sword.
Amidst the countless sword energies, the long sword flew upside down in the air and was torn apart almost instantly. The brilliance spat out from the young man's mouth then turned around in the air and slashed down immediately.
The young man who had already experienced the sharpness of a long sword would not dare to confront the sharp edge again. Seeing this, he quickly moved to the side, and his body suddenly turned into afterimages, narrowly avoiding this swift and violent slash.
.
Whoosh!
After the first blow failed, the long sword left a trace of sword energy and flew backwards, falling into the hands of Ji Yuan who was coming from afar.
He looked at the young man whose arm he had cut off, and saw the strong demonic aura on the other person's body, as well as the fluctuations of water-type mana. He immediately realized that this was probably the one who escaped from them that day and was hiding at the bottom of the Xiyu River.
The monster!
I just don’t know why, after the other party lost a spiritual object that was regarded as the foundation and the Golden Body Temple was smashed, not only did his moral practice not disappear, or died on the spot, but he was still able to reach the second realm of achievement.
And judging from his aura, he is probably at least in the middle of the second realm!
Ji Yuan's face darkened. It seemed that the person behind the plan indeed had great supernatural powers. Such a near-death situation could be reversed in just a few days, and the monster's cultivation level improved by leaps and bounds.
But just like the previously puzzling question, what exactly is the other party’s plan for doing this?
As his mind raced, Ji Yuan suddenly sneered, looked at the frightened and angry young man in the distance, and then shouted in a low voice: "Kill!"
Since you can't figure it out for a moment, just kill all the enemies in front of you. In this way, no matter what the opponent's plot is, all the chess pieces in your hand are dead. Is it possible that you can continue?
As he finished speaking, Su Hongzhu rushed out of the crowd and appeared in front of the young man with a few snaps of his fingers. A pair of fists immediately brought out dozens of fist shadows.
Seeing this scene, the anger in the young man's eyes became even more intense. He did not avoid the shadows of fists falling from the sky. Instead, he relied on his strong body and allowed the person in front of him to punch him.
The monsters in the world are already powerful, and the young man's true body is a catfish that has become a spirit. There is a layer of mucus on the skin. Any attack on his body will slide away uncontrollably, making it difficult for him to do so.
It works.
Therefore, no matter how much Su Hongzhu threw her fists, she was still unable to hurt the opponent at all. Instead, she was hit by her only remaining arm and was knocked back several times.
At this moment, there was a monster and a ghost. Neither one of them could do anything to the other, they could only fall into a stalemate.
"Do you need me to take action?"
Song He whispered.
Hearing this, Ji Yuan slowly shook his head. His eyes swept around, and the vigilance in his eyes never diminished.
After thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "There is still Sun Youfang in the secret, and the person who arranged the plan has not yet appeared. It is best not to take action as much as possible."
Even though Song River's icy power was the most restrained, it was the monster at the bottom of the Xiyu River, the young man who was in a stalemate with Su Hongzhu at the moment.
But there are at least two people who haven't shown up secretly. One is Sun Youfang, the master of the county government, and the other is the person who planned all this. Among them, the one with the weakest cultivation level is at least in the second realm and cannot escape.
Even the person who arranged the layout is very likely to be infinitely close to the third realm, otherwise it would be difficult to control such a group of second realm beings.
However, a second-level peak is already the limit. If the opponent has a third-level cultivation, he can directly suppress all variables in the city. There is no need to watch the chess pieces in his hand being killed by them one after another.
But no matter what, in order to prepare for the worst case scenario, Song He and his wife must preserve their strength as much as possible, and not a single bit of mana can be wasted.
Fortunately, in the current situation, although they may not necessarily have an advantage, at least they will not be at a disadvantage. Xu Liuqing and Zhao Yuansong are a little more difficult, but they are not completely unable to deal with it, and they still have some chance of winning.
But before a few people can win, or before the person who secretly planned it can figure it out, he must think through some issues thoroughly.
"Is it possible that Sun Youfang is the one behind the plan?"
Song He's wife suddenly asked.
As soon as these words came out, Ji Yuan was stunned. He had not thought about this before. After all, subconsciously, the person behind the plan should be the kind of person who lurks in the dark and does not appear in front of others.
As for Sun Youfang, the county government master, although his presence was relatively low in the past and no rumors seemed to have leaked out, he was still directly exposed to everyone's sight.
What's more, as a confidant of the county magistrate, he naturally attracts a lot of attention on weekdays. Most of the big and small forces in the city will pay attention to this person.
As a result, it will be difficult for the other party to do many things. After all, even if you are in the county government, there are still many informants watching every move of certain people.
"We don't rule out this possibility, but it probably won't be Sun Youfang."
Ji Yuan shook his head. Although there was no conclusive evidence in his hand, his intuition told him that the person behind the plot must be someone else.
If it is really Sun Youfang, then everything is too simple and does not match the courage and skill displayed by the person who secretly planned it.
"However, I never expected that during more than three hundred years of slumber, there would not only be multiple mass graves on Luohun Slope, but also a red and pink skeleton."
Song He subconsciously glanced at Su Hongzhu and said with some emotion.
Looking back on those days, Luohunpo was quite famous around Qianyu City. Although there were only two monks in the Song Dynasty, their husband and wife, and Granny Zhang, no force had ever dared to look down upon them.
.
After all, back then, this man was the ruthless person who dared to attack the spiritual treasure that even powerful men were attracted to!
At that time, how could anyone dare to use Luohun Slope as a place to bury corpses at will, and eventually even a mass grave was created?
Although there is no express edict from the court, the entire Luohunpo was indeed regarded as the territory of the Song Dynasty back then. Even people from the official family had to be respectful and polite when entering.
"Although a pink skeleton is not uncommon among ghosts, it is usually born in places filled with resentment."
Zhou Yuyan, Song He's wife, also echoed at this moment.
She has a young appearance and looks like she is only in her twenties. She was once a lady, and every move she makes is elegant and dignified.
Seeing Ji Yuan's curious look, she smiled slightly and roughly explained the conditions for the birth of the pink skull.
In addition to needing a huge amount of resentment, she must have been a promiscuous woman or a dissolute person during her lifetime. After her death, she was buried in a place rich in Yin Qi. Only then could she have the slightest chance of turning into a pink skeleton over the course of hundreds of years.
It's just that no one can say for sure. Without human intervention, it really just depends on the rules.
"Human intervention?"
Ji Yuan frowned slightly, as if he thought of something.
Hearing this, Song He took over the topic: "There should be several secret methods in the demonic and ghost ways. If you spend a lot of money, you can be certain to forcibly interfere with the operation of the laws of heaven and earth and give birth to such a pink skeleton.
"
Generally speaking, only the two giants would spend a lot of resources to cultivate some pink skeletons for their own entertainment or for entertaining guests.
However, it is not ruled out that some demon and ghost monks in the second and third realms, after obtaining this secret method, know that there is no hope of advancement in this life, or lack of strong help, they will spend all their wealth to cultivate it.
After all, the pink skeleton is a strange species among ghosts, and its killing power is extremely strong. In the same realm, it can almost walk sideways with its own innate magical powers and its real body of white bones that are indestructible to gold and iron.
If you have this as a help, you will naturally have a great advantage when facing the enemy, whether you are fighting with others or protecting your own path.
But doing this would not only require huge resources, it would easily deplete a third-level monk's family fortune, but it would also harm Tianhe, and even people in the demonic path rarely do it.
"Why, do you think there is something wrong with Su Hongzhu?"
Seeing that he was so concerned about this matter, Shen Lang couldn't help but ask.
Ji Yuan did not hide this, saying that he indeed had thoughts in this regard.
It wasn't that he had discovered any clues, it was simply a feeling from the bottom of his heart that Su Hongzhu might have something to do with the person behind the plan.
"I remember that there is a secret technique in the demonic path that can shape the flesh and blood body, and there is also a secret technique in the ghost path that allows one to reincarnate from the dead."
Song He frowned and said: "If the two can be combined, maybe a ghost can be brought back to life."
After the words fell, several people looked startled. They turned around subconsciously and their eyes fell on Su Hongzhu in the distance.
At this moment, they happened to see the other party pierce the young man's abdomen with a bone palm and dig out a demon pill filled with water essence. This chapter has been completed!
