This woman was three times as tall as an average person, her arms were thicker than an average person's waist, her body was trembling with fat, and she was crawling with all kinds of poisonous insects.
Beside the pond, there were more than a dozen young and beautiful female nuns, either burning incense or scattering flowers. They seemed to be maids serving the fat woman.
"She is the prison master of the eighth floor. Her real name is unknown and she calls herself 'Ghost Mother'"
When Zhao Xunzhen said this, he suddenly paused, with a strange look on his face.
"What's wrong?" Liang Yan frowned.
"I once heard that the ghost mother and the ghost-hand scholar have a close relationship, and they seem to be Taoist lovers."
After hearing this, Liang Yan's eyes showed surprise.
He looked at the fat woman soaking in the poisonous pool in the distance again, and her expression became strange.
"The taste of this ghost-hand scholar is really unique!"
At this moment, the sound of rushing water came from the pond. It turned out that the ghost mother had finished bathing and walked out of the pond naked.
A female nun next to me immediately came forward to change her clothes.
The ghost mother wore a wide purple gauze skirt, suddenly smiled brightly, and her voice came from far away: "Dead ghost, since you are here, why are you standing outside?"
Liang Yan didn't hide his aura. He imitated the ghost-hand scholar, thinking that he was very similar. He didn't know if he could hide it from the ghost mother.
At that moment, he smiled and led Zhao Xunzhen into the depths of the dense forest.
"devil!"
When the ghost mother saw Liang Yan approaching, she rolled her eyes at him and said angrily: "You are really cruel! You obviously promised to come back in twenty or thirty years, but you didn't expect that you would be gone for hundreds of years. Why, you can see everything outside In this colorful world, my wife is more charming, right?"
After saying that, Lang laughed.
Liang Yan smelled a foul smell and saw her ugly appearance and dissolute attitude. Ordinary people would frown, but his expression remained unchanged.
"I came back this time for business, and I must rush to the ninth floor immediately."
"What's the business?" The ghost mother didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "You and I haven't seen each other for a hundred years, so it's business to be in harmony with each other!"
"Nonsense!"
Liang Yan said seriously: "Now the situation has changed dramatically. A saint from Nanxuan has found this place. I must rush to the ninth floor to activate the teleportation circle so that reinforcements from Tiangong City can arrive."
After hearing this, the ghost mother remained indifferent and even rolled her eyes.
"Come on, damn you, others don't know if there is a teleportation circle on the ninth floor, don't I know? Just lie to those people above. Tell me, what is the purpose of coming back this time?"
Liang Yan frowned slightly. He didn't expect that the ghost mother actually knew the information on the ninth level, but it was hard to fool.
After thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Ghost Mother, don't be ridiculous! I do have a secret edict from Tiangong City, but I can't reveal the specific mission. Please let me go to the ninth floor quickly and come back to you."
As soon as she finished speaking, the ghost mother screamed:
"Ah! What did you call me? Did you just call me 'Ghost Mother'? You are a heartless and unjust person, you have never called me that before!"
Liang Yan was stunned when he heard this, and looked at it carefully, only to see that the ghost mother's body was rapidly expanding. In just a moment, the already fat body more than doubled in size!
"Heartless person, you must have a new love outside. I will never let you go to the ninth floor today!"
The ghost mother screamed, clenched her fists with both hands, and hit the ground hard.
A light blue light bloomed around the pond, but the barrier was activated, and waves of poisonous mist appeared out of thin air, shrouding Liang Yan in it.
At the same time, continuous screams sounded in the woods.
It turned out that they were the female cultivators who served the Ghost Mother. After being exposed to the poisonous mist, the upper half of their bodies quickly rotted, and then their flesh and blood squirmed and reorganized. After a while, these female cultivators all turned into monsters, and the lower half of their bodies were still slender white jade hands.
The legs, starting from the waist upward, look like a viper.
More than a dozen huge snake heads stared at Liang Yan, the snake hesitated and exuded a cold murderous aura.
When Liang Yan saw this scene, his face suddenly darkened.
"Are you determined to make things difficult for me?"
"snort!"
The ghost mother said coldly: "I'm a little bit doubtful about your identity now. Let me try to see if you are the dead ghost himself!"
After saying that, he made a magic trick, and saw the poisonous mist rolling in the air, turning into a big green hand, falling from the sky, and slapped Liang Yan with one palm.
"It seems we still have to take action."
Liang Yan's face was calm, but strong murderous intent erupted from his body.
As he thought, a purple sword light shot up into the sky, like a thunderbolt, shattering the big green hand in an instant, and at the same time sweeping away the billowing poisonous mist.
"You are indeed lying, so what happened to you, damn ghost?" the ghost mother asked in a sharp voice.
"The ghost hand is dead, you can let him be."
Liang Yan was too lazy to say anything more, so he pointed with his hand, and the Purple Thunder Tianyin Sword flew through the air, and was in front of the Ghost Mother in an instant.
"Sword cultivator?"
Although the Ghost Mother looks crazy, she is not really stupid. Seeing that this sword is so majestic and contains the powerful power of the Thunder Law, how can she dare to take it head-on?
She turned around on the spot and turned into eight green clouds, flying in different directions.
"Want to leave?"
Having learned from the past, Liang Yan was afraid that the ghost mother would also escape like Qing Beiwang. At this time, without any hesitation, he pinched the magic formula in his hand and took out another sword pill.
I saw a wisp of white frost suddenly blooming in the barrier, covering a hundred miles in an instant and freezing the entire space.
Of course, the five green clouds transformed by the Ghost Mother could not escape. Four of them were quickly strangled by the ice sword energy, and only one stayed in place, forced by the sword energy to reveal its figure, looking very embarrassed.
"With this method, you will definitely kill my husband, and I will fight with you!"
The ghost mother screamed and pinched the magic with both hands.
But with a flash of green light, the eighteen viper-human-legged monsters broke free from the shackles of the ice sword energy at the same time. They held long swords and stabbed Liang Yan from all directions.
Seeing this scene, Liang Yan showed no mercy. With a pinch of the sword technique in his hand, he slashed horizontally with the Purple Thunder Sword, instantly killing the five monsters at the front.
However, after these monsters were divided into two halves, they did not fall down immediately. Instead, a strange green liquid flowed from the wounds, merged back together, and rushed towards them again.
"Huh?"
Liang Yan frowned slightly and dodged the attack of one of the monsters. Then he tapped his toes and led Zhao Xunzhen back several hundred feet.
With a quick scan of his consciousness, he quickly saw the clues.
Those female cultivators had died long ago. At this moment, their auras are connected to the magic circle, which represents the power of the magic circle. As long as the barrier is not broken, they will never die.
After understanding this, Liang Yan did not get entangled with the ghost mother, but spread his consciousness and carefully observed every inch of the barrier.
"Using poison to refine essence, the secret technique of refining the fetus god and ghost path is also somewhat mysterious!"
Liang Yan thought to himself, narrowed his eyes slightly, and used all his consciousness to find the flaw in the barrier.
??????????.??????
At this moment, the ghost mother screamed repeatedly and used her magic power to wrap the thousands of poisonous clouds in the barrier around her limbs. Immediately afterwards, her body expanded again, like a dark green hill, towards Liang
The position where Yan was was bumped into hard.
"go!"
There was a low shout, thunder exploded, and sword energy surged!
The purple thunder dragon soared into the sky and swayed away the poisonous cloud with a single sword stroke. However, when it landed on the ghost mother, it unexpectedly did not split her apart. Instead, it was sucked by the strange force and stuck to the ghost mother's belly.
Liang Yan saw this scene from a distance and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
This ghost mother is also extraordinary. Although she only has the ability to overcome five difficulties, she can use the enchantment of the ghost poison forest to perform strange methods.
Seeing his opponent rushing towards him desperately, Liang Yan could only give up breaking the barrier temporarily and deal with this crazy woman first.
"Since you want to die so much, then I'll let you die!"
Liang Yan sneered, pinched the magic formula in his hand again, and the Lingtian Sword Pill flew back like a white silk ribbon falling from the sky, quickly blocking the path of the ghost mother.
At the same time, the "Third Son Sword Technique" was unleashed, and the Purple Thunder Sword Pill immediately burst out with powerful sword energy. Hundreds of thunder snakes danced wildly, exploding blood holes one after another in the ghost mother's fat belly.
.
"ah!"
The ghost mother was seriously injured under the attack of two sword lights, but she did not flinch. She opened her mouth fiercely and spit out four balls of meat.
These meat balls rolled in mid-air and turned into four ghost babies. They opened their teeth and claws, laughed strangely, and pounced towards Liang Yan!
Because the distance was too close, Liang Yan had no time to dodge, so he could only activate his magic power and release sword energy, forming a vortex of sword energy around him.
The ghost baby was not afraid of death. Even if he was stabbed by the sword energy, he still pounced forward, wanting only to bite off a piece of meat from Liang Yan's body.
"Go to hell!"
Liang Yan snorted coldly, pinched the spell quickly, and the Lingtian Sword Pill drew a white arc in mid-air, cutting the four ghost babies in half.
Seeing that the spell was broken, the ghost mother hurriedly took out a black mirror, made seals with her hands, and muttered something.
But before she could finish casting the spell, an invisible sword light came in an instant and silently beheaded the ghost mother.
"you"
The ghost mother's eyes showed a look of disbelief.
She didn't expect that the swordsmanship of the man in front of her was so weird. In less than ten moves, she would die with just one mistake!
But soon, this fear turned into endless anger!
"Damn ghost, you are the one who caused this disaster. I am here to avenge you!"
Amid the sharp shouts, an explosion was heard!
I saw the ghost mother's head exploded into blood mist, and her fat body was also torn into pieces. Dark green rays of light flew out of her body, scurrying around like earthworms, and quickly integrated into the surrounding barrier.
Seeing this scene, Liang Yan's first reaction was that his opponent was going to blow himself up.
He did not hesitate to use "Empty Appearance of All Dharmas" to protect his whole body with Buddhist golden light, and then quickly retreated, trying to distance himself.
But soon, he realized something was wrong.
Because after the ghost mother's body exploded, there was no power to spread around, and even the vegetation was not destroyed.
"wrong!"
Liang Yan frowned slightly, looked around and found that the ghost mother's aura had completely disappeared, but the power of the barrier was growing rapidly!
"Is this a blood sacrifice?"
Thinking of this, his expression finally changed.
It turns out that the ghost mother knew she was outmatched, so she sacrificed herself with blood with her last breath, in order to enhance the power of the surrounding enchantment, and wanted to use the enchantment to trap and kill Liang Yan!
Looking at it carefully, I saw that the dark green light was getting thicker and thicker, as if a hill was suppressing the sky above the dense forest. And all the monsters with snake bodies and human legs melted and turned into eighteen green lights, flying up and down in the barrier.
, kept calling Liang Yan.
"It's a bit difficult now."
Liang Yan sighed.
It's not that he's afraid of this barrier. Even if the ghost mother sacrifices her own blood, the killer moves in the barrier won't be able to hurt him.
It just takes a lot of time to break the barrier. What he lacks most now is time!
Seeing green lights flying from all directions, Liang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and released the sword energy from his body, smashing these ghostly poisonous glows into pieces one by one.
"Master, I have a way to weaken this barrier." Zhao Xunzhen's voice suddenly sounded.
After Liang Yan heard this, his heart moved.
"What means do you have?"
"It's the umbrella that the master gave me."
Zhao Xunzhen said as he took out a black oil-paper umbrella.
"After absorbing ghosts, this magic weapon becomes much more powerful and can be used to decipher some ghost techniques."
"Okay, come and give it a try." Liang Yan nodded.
Zhao Xunzhen did not hesitate, opened the umbrella and gently turned it in his hand.
I saw hundreds of black lights flying out of the umbrella, landing on the surface of the barrier, burrowing through any cracks like earthworms, and quickly blending into it.
After a while, the power of the barrier really began to weaken!
"very good!"
Liang Yan's face showed a look of appreciation.
He sat cross-legged on the spot and waited patiently. After about half an hour, the power of the barrier had been weakened by half.
At this time, Liang Yan suddenly opened his eyes and released all the sword energy from his body. He heard a loud "bang" and a big gap was broken in the barrier.
Whoosh!
Liang Yan turned into a ray of light and led Zhao Xunzhen out of the barrier, then flew deep into the dense forest and soon found the space node leading to the next level.
"Walk!"
Neither of them hesitated, and rushed into the space node at the same time, and their figures disappeared instantly.
Teleporting again, the space changes at an extremely fast speed.
In the blink of an eye, Liang Yan reached the ninth floor.
Looking around, I saw a vast wasteland with no vegetation. The only thing that caught my eye was a mountain range not far ahead, which was more than 800 miles away. It looked like a long dragon lying on the ground.
Liang Yan used his spiritual sense to examine it for a moment, then pondered: "This level is a bit special. The entire small world is only a few thousand miles in radius? And there is no trace of the monks. It is completely different from the eight levels we passed before."
After hearing this, Zhao Xunzhen's eyes showed a serious look, and he said slowly: "The resources on this level belong to the prison lord, so no monks come here to practice. It is said that this prison lord is the strongest defense of the ghost prison, so the only way is to kill him
Only in order to enter the lower ninth floor, even if the real ghost-hand scholar comes, he will not give you any face."
As he was talking, a dull loud noise suddenly came from the distance.
I saw the mountains shaking, and a smooth mountain wall was revealed, with giant rocks moving continuously on it, and finally a rough face was outlined.
