Clearly, this is a backlash!
Jiuling Lao's anger on his face is even more concentrated, and he pulls my hair harder with his hand!
The bloodied fingers are again falling on my face!
Initially, it was a character drawn on the brow center; now, it's the entire face!
The blood between his fingers is warm and oily, and the salty stench makes one feel nauseous.
I closed my eyes, heavy breathing.
Ice-cold, it surged even more fiercely!
However, this time, it's different from before.
The emergence of earth energy seems to be slower this time.
When the elder's fingers stopped sliding, I could feel it—some intricate patterns were drawn on my face!
Intense pain surged from the core of my brain!
"Come out!"
Jiuling Lao's low roar is extremely angry.
Bang.
It was a muffled sound!
However, this muffled sound is not from my body, but from the ground of the room.
In the dim light, the tiles on the ground suddenly brightened for a moment, as if there had been a burst of yellow glow.
"Huh!?"
Jiuling Lao's gaze instantly fell over there.
There was another muffled sound from the other side of the room.
Another flash of yellow light passed by.
Jiuling Lao suddenly released my hand that was holding my head.
His eyes became suspicious and uncertain.
I braced myself against the ground with both hands, the pain and dizziness were severe, but the coolness kept me conscious.
Still motionless, I'm still panting.
Bang, bang, bang!
A continuous sound.
The tiles creaked under the weight.
What breaks isn't the tile, it's a talisman!
It's only now that I see that the ground of this room is covered with a talisman.
However, this talisman is integrated with the tiles, making it look like the tiles were pieced together.
Now, the talisman is falling apart.
"Who!?" Jiuling Lao was extremely serious, the killing intent was even more intense.
I only fully understand now why the earth energy has come slowly.
This Jiuling Lao's residence is indeed like a turtle shell, with protection on all sides.
The expression on his face took on a trace of coldness.
It's the coolness from that ice cold that gave me the feeling of cold.
I slightly raised my head, coldly looking at Jiuling Lao.
Jiuling Lao's pupils shrank slightly, revealing a look of realization.
"Who behind you?"
"I suppose so." I replied in a hoarse voice.
At this moment, Jiuling Lao stepped forward!
His eyes were cold and fierce.
"Since the person behind you has arrived, you can die now!"
He raised his hand, and in the palm of his hand, there was suddenly a thin blade made of bone.
The pale color looked like human bone, but it was unclear which part it was.
The bone knife sliced towards my throat instantly!
My pupils dilated instantly, and I did not dodge.
A faint click!
A fist-sized hole appeared in the ground in front of me!
A jet of ink-black earth energy directly pierced through Jiuling Lao's arm!
The earth energy dispersed, spreading out like a blooming flower, and was wrapping around Jiuling Lao's body!
Jiuling Lao's pupils also dilated.
Astonishment!
Shocked!
And bewilderment!
But the next moment, it was greed and fear!
"Plague ghost?"
"No, it isn't!"
"It's plague ghost's life!"
His voice trembled with excitement!
The next moment, he retreated violently!
He dug into his left pocket and threw out a lot of scarlet powder.
The earth energy was still proliferating on his right arm, climbing towards his shoulder!
His right arm withered instantly, and it seemed as if his entire body would wither as well.
"You are plague god's life!"
"Luo Xianshen!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Jiuling Lao laughed freely, and his face was also gradually withering away.
However, I was filled with suspense in my heart.
He is at the brink of death, why is he still excited?
Still want to go out to report the news?
In that instant, the ground kept cracking, and dark earth energy like ink-black snakes rushed towards Jiuling Lao.
Suddenly, a crack appeared in the center of Jiuling Lao's brow!
A figure suddenly emerged from the crack!
It was clearly Jiuling Lao himself!
However, it was the previous Jiuling Lao with the mask.
His breath was cold and foreboding, and he was entwined with a large amount of talisman cloth.
This is no longer a person, but a ghost.
Just then, his ghostly form is not the usual one!
The dark earth energy collided with the talisman cloth, and was actually blocked.
Jiuling Lao leapt upwards fiercely, about to reach the ceiling!
With a resounding boom, a large amount of earth energy surged towards the roof, like a net, blocking Jiuling Lao's path!
"Hmph!"
Jiuling Lao coldly hummed, and a talisman suddenly appeared on his body and burned with a whoosh!
The talisman blossomed into dazzling flames, causing the earth energy to dim in an instant!
"More than ten years ago, in my Changfeng Taoist Temple, I was studying what kind of talisman could temporarily suppress the plague energy."
"Ten years ago, I led my disciples to Qiyang, and all the talismans used to suppress the plague energy in the temple were in my body!"
"Luo Xianshen! Today, you can't be killed!"
"But you can't escape!"
The sound of his soul is hollow and evasive, like a rootless tree.
Jiuling Lao flicked his hand, and a talisman struck the ceiling, causing the encapsulated earth energy to instantly explode into a cluster.
Although more earth energy was replenished, there was still a momentary weak point.
I rose from the ground with a sudden surge of energy, still locking eyes with Jiuling Lao!
My hands trembled as I raised them, but the earth energy was out of my control, raging wildly.
I took a mighty leap.
But the height I leapt to wasn't enough to reach Jiuling Lao's current position.
He's mostly at the ceiling, and with a little more destruction of the earth energy, he can escape!
He can't go out!
The consequences, are serious!
The Bagua flag is currently blocking the aura, but if he goes out, I'll be exposed in the Changfeng Taoist Temple, and even to the eyes of the ghost chamber!
In this situation, I'm stuck!
Especially since Jiuling Lao has talismans for earth energy, I'm afraid that other forces also have some.
Even more terrifying is Siye!
I will be drained by him!
I landed heavily, and my eyes turned even more crimson.
Jiuling Lao looked at me with disdain, as if he were looking at a monkey in the middle of a temple fair.
Jiuling Lao twitched his arms, and several talismans were shot towards a specific location on the roof simultaneously!
Saying that's quick, it's even faster!
In the twinkling of an eye, the figure of a headless woman appeared before Jiuling Lao!
Just a moment ago, the headless woman was dispersed by Jiuling Lao.
Now it is just barely solidified!
The talismans struck the headless woman instantly!
A loud whoosh of flames erupted, and the headless woman let out an agonizing scream.
Even the sound from her abdomen became piercingly sharp.
"Hmph!" Jiuling Lao seemed extremely angry.
However, as the headless woman screamed, a trace of blue light suddenly appeared on her body!
She surged forward and violently collided with Jiuling Lao!
Jiuling Lao was shocked and out of color, and he was about to dodge.
However, the flames were too overwhelming, and it burned him indirectly.
A scream echoed at the same time.
Jiuling Lao suddenly began to fall towards the ground.
At the same time, the headless woman was still clenching Jiuling Lao's neck tightly, preventing him from dodging!
I was overjoyed.
However, my expression changed dramatically.
As they fell, the swirling earth energy seemed to open a dark maw and fiercely swallow them!
"Halt!" I shouted almost at the top of my lungs!
