Chapter 197 Tears Girl
"What's that sound?" Lu Yuguan subconsciously moved closer to Li Chonglin, his hand unconsciously clenching the bamboo stick. "It sounds like someone is moaning."
Li Chonglin said solemnly: "Whether it's a human or a ghost, let's go and take a look."
Everyone approached the source of the sound cautiously, taking every step with extreme caution.
When I got closer, I saw a bloody soldier huddled beside a huge rock, his eyes terrified, and he kept muttering, "Devil... Devil... Don't come over..."
Li Chonglin hurried forward and squatted, gently shaking his shoulders: "Brother, wake up, we are reinforcements, what happened here? Where are Commander Li and the others?"
The soldier seemed to be in extreme fear. He did not respond to Li Chonglin's words and just kept repeating those words.
"He must be too frightened." Zi Xiaoya said.
Zhao Zimo looked around and said in a deep voice, "We can't stay here for long. Let's get him out first and continue searching inside."
The crowd continued to move forward, and not long after they went, they noticed some messy footprints on the ground, which clearly indicated that a fierce conflict had occurred.
"Looking at these footprints, Commander Li and his men must have passed through here," Li Zhonglin squatted down and carefully observed the traces on the ground. "What kind of demonic cultivator could have caused such panic in the army?"
Just as everyone was puzzled, suddenly, the fog in front of them rolled violently, and then a group of demon cultivators emerged from the fog. They were wearing black robes and exuded a strange demonic aura.
"Roar!--"
The demon cultivators extended their sharp claws from under their black robes and charged towards the crowd.
"Everyone, stay calm!" Li Chonglin shouted loudly, and the dragon-patterned sword in his hand shone brightly. He took the lead in facing the demon cultivator who was rushing in the front.
The sword blade cut through the air, bringing up a sharp whistling sound, and accurately slashed at the sharp claws extended by the demon cultivator.
Lu Yuguan hid the little sesame in his arms behind his back, his eyes instantly became as sharp as an eagle, he shook the bamboo stick in his hand, dodged the demon cultivator's swift attack sideways, and stabbed his throat with the stick in his backhand.
"Dirty thing, look at the stick!"
The demon cultivator also reacted very quickly. He twisted his body, and Lu Yuguan's bamboo stick only cut a gash on his shoulder. Black demon blood splashed out, emitting a pungent fishy smell.
Zhao Zimo gripped the giant axe tightly with both hands, and the axe hummed due to the infusion of spiritual power.
He shouted loudly, swung the giant axe and swept it across. The wind from the axe whistled, directly forcing several approaching demon cultivators back several steps.
"Don't even think about getting any closer, you idiot!
Chen Xian's hands, wearing mithril boxing gloves, danced quickly, the wind from his fists whistling, and he specifically targeted the joints and other vital parts of the demon cultivator.
Every powerful punch was accompanied by a muffled groan from the demon cultivators, but these demon cultivators seemed to be unaware of the pain, and their attacks became more fierce after being injured.
Zhou Zhou summoned Ice Wings to stand guard over Chen Xian to prevent any sneak attacks from other demon cultivators.
Zi Xiaoya didn't have a suitable weapon, and just as she was about to take action, the other monks of the Northern Territory Monastic Order had already solved everything for her.
"Beauty, are you okay?" Mu You said, shaking his flowing hair.
"I don't need your help!" Zi Xiaoya shouted, then punched a demon cultivator in the head.
Mu You sucked in a breath of cold air. He looked at Zang Qing and Lan Yi beside him, only to see Zang Qing looking at him with a gloating smile.
"Get out!" Mu You said depressedly.
Faced with the attack of the crowd, the demon cultivators showed no intention of retreating, and their red eyes under the black robes flashed with bloodthirsty light.
Their attack was like a surging tide, one wave after another, about to drown everyone.
"Something's wrong. These are not demon cultivators, but refined ghost corpses!" Li Chonglin had sharp eyes. He lifted the black robe of a corpse and immediately found something strange.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and couldn't help but slow down their movements.
Lu Yuguan widened his eyes and took a closer look. He saw that the ghost corpse with its black robe lifted had skin of a bluish-gray color, with blood vessels winding on its surface like black earthworms, emitting a foul odor. It did not look like a living person at all.
"How can this ghost corpse be so powerful?" Lu Yuguan exclaimed.
"It must be that the demonic cultivators used some evil magic to refine these corpses. Not only did they retain some of their abilities in life, but they also injected demonic nature into them, making them violent and unruly."
Li Chonglin's face was solemn, and the dragon-patterned sword in his hand was shining.
"Everyone, be careful. Ghost corpses are not afraid of pain, and attacking their vital points may not be fatal. Try to attack their heads to destroy their movement center."
Upon hearing this, everyone adjusted their tactics.
I don’t know how long the fight lasted until the black fog nearby slowly dissipated and no new ghost corpses appeared.
"It's really... really difficult."
Zi Xiaoya was breathing heavily. If we talk about the combat power ceiling in the team, she would be ranked last.
Li Chonglin looked at the corpses scattered on the ground and narrowed his eyes. "There really is an ambush here."
Everyone looked up and saw a petite figure standing on top of the towering stone pillar.
"That is..." Lu Yuguan's pupils constricted.
"It's been a long time..."
"What? There's one behind you too?"
Everyone looked around and realized that they were surrounded by a circle of stone pillars. In addition to the short demon cultivator in front of them, there was also an old acquaintance standing behind them.
"Phantom Star Demon!"
Zi Xiaoya gritted her teeth and said.
The Phantom Star Demon was still wearing that purple robe, and his every move showed elegance.
"Who was calling me? Turns out it was the master of that dead bird—" the Phantom Star Demon sneered.
"What did you say!?" Zi Xiaoya shouted angrily.
"Tsk tsk tsk, don't be so angry. The old must go before the new can come. I have done a good thing for you." The Phantom Star Demon said with a smile.
Zi Xiaoya was furious and was about to fight back when Zhao Zimo grabbed her shoulders.
"He is deliberately provoking you, don't be fooled." Zhao Zimo said in a deep voice.
The Phantom Star Demon looked down at everyone and said with disdain, "With your meager cultivation, you dare to enter the Desire-Descending Stone Forest. You truly overestimate your abilities."
The Phantom Star Demon gently waved his sleeves, bringing up a breeze, which seemed to carry wisps of demonic energy, swirling around everyone.
"Look at how miserable you are now. The previous batch of people who came to die can't even save themselves. Why did you come in?"
Li Zhonglin gripped the dragon-patterned sword tightly, took a step forward, and looked up at the Phantom Star Demon: "Since we have come here today, we have no intention of returning empty-handed. We must root out all of you demon cultivators!"
The Phantom Star Golem seemed to have heard something funny and laughed out loud. "Hahaha, what a boast! Do you think this Stone Forest is a place you can come and go as you please?"
"Be careful, this evil cultivator can gather the power of the stars and has incredible destructive power. Don't get entangled by him." Zhao Zimo quickly reminded.
The Phantom Star Demon exclaimed, "What a pity! It's not me who's dealing with you today..."
"Is it possible..."
Lu Yuguan turned around again and saw the short demon cultivator slowly taking off his hood, revealing a sad face.
"It's actually a little girl?" Zhao Zimo said in surprise.
The Phantom Star Demon laughed wildly and said, "It is your blessing to die at her hands."
"Welcome the resentful mirage demon body——"
"Tear Girl, kill as much as you want!"
