Chapter 123 The Path of Hungry Ghosts

Just as Gu Mingchuan finished speaking, Gui Su's figure disappeared again. Just as he felt a little alert, he saw the old woman with a huge black tiger shadow floating behind her was hit by a sword in the chest.

This old woman's cultivation method was obviously very different from that of the Wei Dynasty. She was extremely powerful and her reaction speed was also very fast, which was very similar to the way of Henglian.

There is a shadow of a black tiger floating behind him, which gives people a weird feeling.

It should be a unique power system in southern Xinjiang.

The guy who could become invisible was quite smart. He knew he was no match for the old woman, so he teamed up with his companions to get rid of the old woman.

This person was so elusive that he had no time to rescue him.

"Mother-in-law!"

When Gong Miaomiao saw her mother-in-law who was protecting her get injured, she felt sad and anxious, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

"Roar!"

Granny Man was hit hard by this. The black tiger behind her roared and suddenly burst out with a terrifying force, which shook Guisu and Mutou away.

She took the opportunity to shout, "Use my blood to summon the sacred beast of my clan to protect Gong Miaomiao and prevent her from any harm."

……

"Oh no, it's a life-sacrifice spell!"

Mutou's face changed slightly. This was the secret method of the Nanjiang tribe, which used life as the price to summon the totem sacred beast. The sacred beast summoned by this blood sacrifice method was quite terrifying.

Gui Su also knew the seriousness of the matter. With the ninth level of Man Po Po's cultivation, the holy beast she summoned at the cost of her life was extremely powerful. Even if it had not reached the Dharma Image Realm, it was not far away.

However, at this time, Granny Man was protected by holy power, so he couldn't get close to her at all.

Seeing Granny Man burning her own blood and lifespan, a layer of colorful light surrounded her body and the shadow of the black tiger behind her became more and more solid.

Both of them felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.

……

"Is this the witchcraft of the southern barbarians?"

Gu Mingchuan was quite curious. The world was so big, and there was more to it than just martial arts and the art of refining skills. There were also spells and witchcraft.

This old woman was clearly only at the Shenzang realm, but the feeling she gave him was somewhat similar to that of a strong man at the Faxiang realm.

He could see that there was a light on her body, connecting her to the distant void, like an umbilical cord.

The black tiger behind her also had a ray of light on its body, which also extended to some unfathomable void. A force was constantly injected into its body, allowing it to slowly come to life.

Gu Mingchuan was very curious, "Could it be that the other side of the void is the god of the people of Southern Xinjiang?"

As the old woman's breath became weaker and weaker, the black tiger's power became stronger and stronger.

Suddenly, the girl named Gong Miaomiao came forward and hugged her, screaming, "Grandma, I don't want——"

Along with this scream, an astonishing scene appeared.

The figure of the black tiger that was about to "come alive" quickly became blurred.

The old woman who was about to die seemed to have come back to life, her breath continued to grow stronger, and even the wound on her chest healed.

The whole process lasted only one second.

Gu Mingchuan was stunned.

Guisu and Mutou, who were not far away, were also stunned.

Long Yichuan, who was hiding below, had a dull look in his eyes.

Even the woman involved was shocked.

what's the situation?
……

What happened just now was so contrary to common sense that everyone present was stunned and the scene became eerily quiet.

what's the situation?
Gu Mingchuan looked at the girl and his brain froze for a moment.

What did I see?
Going back in time?

Reverse cause and effect?

No matter which one it was, it was extremely unnatural and completely beyond the scope of martial arts.

Who is this girl named Gong Miaomiao?
Why does he have such incredible ability?
Even if you reach the level of the Fallen Sea, it would be impossible to do such a thing, right?
Or, is she pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, and is actually a strong person who has surpassed the Lone Sea Realm.

No matter how you look at it, Gu Mingchuan is just an ordinary girl who has just reached the Gangyuan realm and there is nothing unusual about her.

Just as he was thinking about it, the girl named Gong Miaomiao had fainted and was held in the arms of the old woman.

At this moment, Gu Mingchuan suddenly felt a sense of alarm in his heart, and saw that the old woman was hit by the sword again.

It's that elusive guy again.

However, this time, he was not feeling well either. The old woman had suffered a loss once before and was prepared. She slapped him with a palm the moment he was stabbed by the sword.

A burst of blood spurted out from the void.

The old woman also collapsed to the ground.

The sword in the black-robed man's hand is not simple. Even if it is not as good as the Shenxiao Sword, it is also a first-level divine weapon.

Moreover, it is also poisoned, which has a strong inhibitory effect on the physical regeneration ability of the Henglian warrior.

Although this old woman has the strength and speed of a martial artist, this strength obviously comes from the black tiger shadow behind her.

Her body was not very strong. Although she avoided the vital points, she was seriously injured and lost at least half of her fighting power.

Gu Mingchuan did not move, because he felt that he was being fixed by a pair of gazes, just like being stared at by a poisonous snake in the darkness, cold and wet.

The source of the gaze was the monk, who said in a hoarse and unpleasant voice, "Mutou Tuo greets the Buddha."

At this time, Gui Su appeared behind him and said weakly, "What are you talking about? Get rid of that old woman first and catch that girl." Mu Tou's cold voice came, "Stop talking nonsense!"

Gui Su was furious and was about to say something when he suddenly felt a chill all over his body. A bloody mouth suddenly opened at the back of Mutou's head and pounced towards him.

He seemed seized by fear and could not move.

The next moment, the bloody mouth swallowed him.

……

When Gu Mingchuan saw this horrifying scene, his scalp went numb.

What the hell is this?

This wooden guy actually eats people?

The crunching sound of chewing and the extremely satisfied expression on Mu Tou's face really give off the atmosphere of a horror movie.

The faces of the Changsheng Sect members nearby changed drastically, and they shouted in extreme fear, "It's the hungry ghost realm, run away quickly——"

These dozen or so masters of the Shenzang realm suddenly scattered, and each of them only regretted that their parents had not given them two more legs. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared.

Only Gu Mingchuan, Granny Man, Gong Miaomiao, and Long Yichuan who was hiding below were left at the scene.

……

“It’s actually the realm of hungry ghosts?”

When Long Yichuan heard the screams of the Changsheng sect members, he remembered a rumor about the Changsheng sect and his face turned slightly pale.

The teachings of the Changsheng Sect are to pursue immortality and to revere the Changsheng Emperor who lived thousands of years ago as an idol.

Since its inception, it has been pursuing the legacy left by Emperor Changsheng and has grown rapidly.

According to the records of the Demon Suppression Bureau, the Changsheng Sect was actually founded by the nine major clans and the five holy places, but later on, the Changsheng Sect slipped out of their control.

In pursuit of immortality, some people in the Immortality Cult began to become unscrupulous. Various bloody and brutal experiments emerged one after another, and more than a dozen branches and sects developed.

It can be said that, apart from Xuanming Sect, many evil sects that have emerged over the past few thousand years all originated from Changsheng Sect. Hungry Ghost Sect is one of them.

The hungry ghost realm is to increase one's own strength by eating humans.

In the end, as the skills become more and more perfect, one can even gain the opponent's skills, magical powers, and even memories by eating the opponent.

It can be said that this is an extremely evil magic skill.

The hungry ghost realm originates from endless greed, and the ghosts themselves will be destroyed by this endless greed.

Every generation of those who practice the hungry ghost realm will gradually lose control of their desire to devour others, and eventually turn into a monster that only knows how to eat people.

Historically, the person from the Changsheng Sect who perfected the Hungry Ghost Realm ate up almost all the high-ranking members of the sect, grew into an almost unkillable monster, wreaked havoc across the world, and eventually destroyed a powerful dynasty.

From then on, whenever someone who practiced the hungry ghost realm appeared, they would be hunted down by both the black and white forces.

In the final analysis, the imperial court, the seven great clans, and the evil sects such as the Changsheng Sect are nothing more than internal conflicts among humans. However, the hungry ghost realm does not distinguish between enemies and friends, and will eat them all, and ultimately, will destroy all of humanity.

This is a mortal enemy.

Thinking of this, Long Yichuan stopped hesitating and turned around and ran.

The appearance of a person practicing the Hungry Ghost Path is a catastrophic event. He must immediately notify the higher-ups of the Demon Suppression Division and use the power of thunder to destroy this Hungry Ghost Path before it grows up.

……

When Gu Mingchuan saw the bloody mouth behind Mutou's head, the pure darkness and evil made him feel terrified.

Although he didn't know what kind of martial arts the other party was practicing, he knew that today would not end peacefully.

He flipped his hand and the Shenxiao Sword appeared in his palm.

The Shenxiao Sword sensed the extremely evil aura and began to vibrate. There was no need for him to inject true energy into it, and a powerful electric current spontaneously gushed out.

At this time, it no longer slacked off, but was full of righteousness and determination to fight the other side to the bitter end.

The Shenxiao Sword only showed its true power at this moment, which was completely different from before.

Gu Mingchuan was so angry.

It turns out that this broken sword is just trying to please me, right?

I'll deal with you after I've dealt with this enemy!

……

"Qingxiao Sword?"

When the old woman saw the sword in his hand, she suddenly cried out in surprise.

The Qingxiao Sword is the sacred object of the clan. How could it fall into the hands of this person?
No, this is not the Qingxiao Sword!
Then, she discovered that the sword in the other party's hand was somewhat different from the Qingxiao Sword in the clan, and they were not the same.

Granny Man was stunned.

How could there be a divine sword in the world that is almost identical to the Qingxiao Sword?

The sword in the young man's hand seemed to have exerted all its power. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and countless lightning flashed and jumped in it.

Suddenly, a thick bolt of lightning fell and struck Mutou.

This is the true power of heaven and earth, no less powerful than a blow from the Dharma Image Realm.

Just as the thunder was about to fall on Mutou's head, his figure disappeared out of thin air, and the thunder struck out a word.

This is--

Granny Man's eyes narrowed. Isn't this the movement of the man in black robe just now?

After he ate the man in black, he actually gained this ability?
