Chapter 508 - 14: Kill Lv Hua (Part 2)
His entire left arm was like a piece of charcoal, devoid of sensation, hard as stone.
He wouldn’t even notice if it were chopped.
"Yin energy has solidified, obstructing the meridians."
"For the next three months, I can only exert up to sixty percent of my strength. It seems I must not be careless."
After checking his injuries, Fang Zheng let out a small sigh of relief.
The injuries were not light, but fortunately, they didn’t harm the foundation; it’s just a matter of time and effort, not the real problem.
But rather...
"Wooo!"
The Five Ghosts’ Pouch trembled slightly, and five ghosts flew out, transforming into five strands of black smoke dancing and weaving in the air.
It was different from before.
Now, the ghost bodies of the five ghosts were solidified—and when they stopped, aside from their feet not touching the ground, they were no different from the living.
This was the state of evil qi entering the body and primordial yin solidifying.
The reason for this was, of course, because they had devoured and refined that demon, greatly increasing the strength of the five ghosts.
Although the ghost bodies were not yet stable, signs could be seen.
Ghost cultivation had reached some sort of limit, and the next step was for the five elements to unite, advancing to a Ghost King.
According to the description within the Five Ghosts’ Pouch,
The Ghost King Body can change between solid and phantom, ascend the heavens, or enter the nine darknesses, flying and escaping, miles in a moment.
The eyes could emit a soul-capturing miraculous light, the mouth could produce a soul-shocking profound sound, the hands could seize objects of yin and yang, and the feet could tread the boundless realm...
In short,
After advancing, its strength would surge, and even an ordinary Martial Arts Grandmaster would not be its match.
However,
Fang Zheng did not intend to switch cultivation to the Ghost Dao.
And if he did not switch, it seems the five ghosts could not wait that long and would eventually backfire.
"Trouble!"
Fang Zheng frowned.
If he were uninjured, he could confidently suppress the Five Ghosts, but now it was somewhat beyond his grasp.
’The Yama Visualization Method I practice has a restraining effect on Underworld Soul Ghosts, and the Celestial Secret Compass can even suppress Yin Spirit.’
’If only the Buddhist Shrine were fully refined, as much as the Five Ghosts advance to Ghost King, it might not be uncontrollable.’
Unfortunately!
Currently, he was severely injured, his essence, qi, and spirit were depleted, and the Buddhist Shrine still needed some time to be fully refined.
Time waits for no one!
A few days later.
Fang Zheng appeared in the main hall of the training ground.
"Send a letter to the Commandery Princess."
He pondered slightly and said:
"Just say that the demon from Cien Temple was causing trouble, wreaking havoc in the entire temple, and Shi Bumi was investigating County Magistrate Meng’s death and got involved."
"Unfortunately met with disaster!"
"Yes." Shangguan Duo responded, spilling ink and brandishing the brush.
"Master."
At this moment, a person rushed in from outside to report:
"News just came from the county government office that the Junior Minister from the Ministry of Justice, Du Xiu, has already left the city unaware of when."
"It is feared that he secretly escaped to the prefecture city."
"Oh?" Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows, then said slowly:
"Continue writing."
"The demon’s methods were remarkable, causing losses of over a hundred men in Gu’an County, and Junior Minister Du Xiu also fell victim."
Shangguan Duo was taken aback, instinctively looked up.
"How fortunate!"
Fang Zheng’s expression did not change as he continued:
"At the moment of crisis, Fang did not forget the country’s grace, fought hard to kill the enemy, and finally led the troops to slay the demon on the spot."
"The times are troubled, demons and evildoers are rampant everywhere; may the Commandery Princess carefully discern and suppress the wicked."
"Got it?"
"Ah!" Shangguan Duo snapped back to reality, nodding urgently:
"Noted it down."
"Send by carrier pigeon to the prefecture city." Fang Zheng waved his hand:
"I’m going out for a walk."
"Yes."
Shangguan Duo bowed:
"Master, take care."

Fairy Lv Hua touched the ground with her toes, flew swiftly for several yards, silently, as fast as lightning.
She was a mage,
though she practiced Martial Arts Body Technique, she was not proficient.
The reason for her mysterious body technique was practicing the Feixiao Swordsmanship of the Luofu Immortal Sect.
Once the Sword Technique was activated, man and sword united, not only was the body technique extremely fast, but the physical body also had a remarkably strong attacking power.
In direct combat, it was no less than an ordinary Flawless Martial Artist.
"Swish!"
"Swish, swish!"
After leaping off the city wall, Fairy Lv Hua changed her form, shortly after softly landing in a dense forest.
Under the trees,
A person stood upright, cloaked.
"Du Xiu."
Looking at the other person, Fairy Lv Hua was indifferent:
"Why did you call me out here? Why didn’t Shi Bumi return with you?"
She began to ask, but before finishing her face showed confusion, she waved her hand and shot a stone out.
"Pff!"
The stone fell on Du Xiu, rolling to the ground.
Throughout, Du Xiu’s expression did not change slightly, his facial muscles were stiff, his gaze complex.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Fairy Lv Hua took a step forward, intending to say something, but suddenly a premonition arose in her heart, and she swiftly retreated.
Simultaneously,
Du Xiu’s skin and flesh inflated, as if something pushed from inside, and his whole body exploded.
"Boom!"
Blood, bones, viscera shot out like a powerful crossbow, covering several yards of ground.
The blood and flesh pierced into the grass and trees, hammering out countless pits.
If Fairy Lv Hua hadn’t retreated quickly, she might have been covered by it.
"Who?"
Her face drastically changed, her long sleeves swung fiercely, the earth beneath her feet bulged, instantly forming thick earth walls.
Earth Sculpting Technique!
"Boom!"
"Boom, boom!"
Gunshots rang out, making pits on the earth walls but failing to harm the people inside.
"Fire!"
A voice shouted, suddenly urgent:
"Phoenix Transformation!"
"Whoosh..."
High temperature gathered in the air, instantly turning into a bright flame, which grew with the wind and in the blink of an eye turned into a sea of flames.
The sea of flames squirmed, a Fire Phoenix spread its wings from within.
The ultimate high temperature turned several yards into a sea of fire, vegetation madly burning, the earth scorched.
"Screech!"
The Fire Phoenix soared in the air, swooping down on the shadow below.
"Mage?" Fairy Lv Hua was first surprised, then showed disdain:
"Not even a Great Mage, yet you dare to attack me? Should I say you’re bold or ignorant?"
