At the same time, in a side hall in the Xu Family Castle, the Xu Family Patriarch and several elders were gathered here, discussing something.
"Big Brother, this High Envoy Liu only brought Xu Ye along this time, could something have happened to him? You know, those two ghost creatures are very powerful. If something happens to this person, Taiqing Gate will investigate … "Xu Kaiyang said to the skinny old man with some worry.
"This … it shouldn't be! Since this person is so conceited, he should have some means. Not to mention that Xu Ye is cautious by nature. His Five Star Shield's defensive ability is quite good. Even if he can't defeat the ghost creatures, he should be able to retreat safely. "The skinny old man touched his beard and said slowly.
Maybe this person's comforting words worked. The other elders present all looked relieved. Obviously, they all had this concern before.
The skinny old man smiled bitterly in his heart. He was also worried about this.
Previously, he scanned with Divine Thought and found that Liu Ming was the same as him, only at the Condensation Period intermediate stage.
However, since Liu Ming insisted on this, he couldn't disobey. If he angered this person, it would be bad.
"Kaiyang, order to activate all the enchantments of the Xu Family Castle. In addition, release all the red-eyed eagles to pay close attention to the movement in the mining area. If there is any accident, we can't ignore Liu. We must rush over immediately. "After the skinny old man pondered, he said to the Xu Family Patriarch.
"That's good." Xu Kaiyang readily agreed and immediately gave the order.
…
Just when the Xu Family was worried, Liu Ming and Xu Ye had already arrived at the Xu Family's mineral vein in the east of the Cangman Mountain.
The mineral vein here was located in a canyon. The surrounding mountains were full of traces of mining. As far as the eye could see, there were some damaged wood and rocks all over the ground.
After walking in the canyon for about 15 minutes, the two came to a mine cave of several ten meters in size.
Some thick logs were casually set up at the entrance of the mine cave. Looking into the cave, it was dark inside. It seemed to lead to the depths of the underground.
"Liu, the two ghost creatures are hiding in the depths of this mine cave." Xu Ye, dressed as a scholar, glanced at the depths of the dark cave, and his eyes twitched.
Liu Ming nodded when he heard the words, and he was about to step into the cave.
The middle-aged scholar hesitated for a moment before reminding, "Those two ghosts are very elusive. You must be careful, Fellow Daoist."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Liu Ming looked back at the person, smiled, and walked in first.
The middle-aged Confucian scholar gritted his teeth. He held a small shield in his hand and hurriedly followed.
The entire mine tunnel was winding and rugged, continuously extending diagonally into the underground.
A fluorescent stone was inlaid in every small distance on the passage, so the light here wasn't too dim. However, both of them were cultivators of the Condensation Period. Even in the dark, they could still identify the way with Divine Thought.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the two of them had already gone several hundred feet deep into the ground.
"There's quite a bit of Yin Qi in this mine. They're probably mining Yin-attributed ores, right?" Liu Ming released Divine Thought to scan around as he walked. He faintly felt that there was a trace of Yin Qi in the air here, so he asked faintly.
"As you can see, a Yin Ink Vein Mine was recently discovered in the depths of the mine. It was originally being mined before the incident." The middle-aged scholar looked a little nervous. He also used Divine Thought to explore around him, and he replied.
"It turns out to be like this. No wonder the two ghost creatures will be entrenched in the depths of the vein mine." Liu Ming smiled slightly. He glanced at the darkness ahead, then he stretched out his hand and patted lightly on the stone wall beside him.
The two walked for a while, and a fork appeared at the end of the tunnel ahead.
Under the guidance of the middle-aged scholar, the two walked to the right. After a few turns, the top of the cave, which was originally several ten feet high, gradually became only ten feet high. The surrounding yin qi suddenly became a lot thicker.
"This place has entered the activity range of the two ghost creatures." The middle-aged scholar reminded. At the same time, he took out an emerald green talisman.
As a result, before he finished speaking, Liu Ming next to him suddenly moved. His shoulder was suddenly tightened, and he was pushed back several ten feet from the ground.
At the same time, a yin wind whistled past in front of him!
A jet-black ghostly hand that had appeared out of nowhere almost brushed past his body.
A "chi" sound was heard!
The ghost hand drew five black lines in the air. The nearby wall was like tofu. Five deep claw marks of several feet were left.
"Thank you, Brother Liu."
The scholar reacted and thanked him again and again, but his face was pale, and his back was full of cold sweat.
If it weren't for Liu Ming who pulled him, he might have died in this blow without any protection.
Liu Ming didn't seem to hear it. He looked ahead with a cold face.
In the tunnel ahead, a thick black mist appeared out of nowhere. In the black mist, a blurry tall black shadow with a pair of blood red eyes was particularly eye-catching. It was staring at Liu Ming and Liu Ming.
"Ghost creature!"
As soon as the scholar saw the ghost shadow in the black mist, he immediately shouted with a heavy heart. He hurriedly crushed the talisman in his hand, and a green egg-shaped light shield appeared on his body. At the same time, he chanted a technique, and the small shield in his hand became several times bigger. It floated up and blocked in front of him.
Liu Ming raised one hand without saying a word, and a few long deep green wind blades blasted out with a whistling sound. At the same time, he shook his other sleeve, and a small crimson sword appeared in his hand.
The ghost shadow's figure shook slightly, and the black mist in front of him rolled down. It condensed into a black gas wall in the blink of an eye.
When the wind blades flew into the wall, they were like clay oxen entering the sea; there was no sound at all.
With a "boom", the black gas wall burst open on its own, turning into a rolling black mist that rolled toward Liu Ming and Liu Ming.
Seeing this, Liu Ming shook his wrist. After the small crimson sword trembled for a while, a dazzling red sword light suddenly burst out from the tip of the sword.
"Go!"
He shouted in a low voice, and a thirty to forty feet long crimson sword light instantly blasted out from the small sword. Like a rainbow piercing through the sun, it directly penetrated the black mist.
"Sou".
"The crimson sword light didn't stop at all. It pierced through the mist and went straight to the ghost shadow behind.
Gui Ying's blood-red eyes seemed to reveal a bit of fear. He suddenly spat out a few mouthfuls of thick black gas, temporarily blocking the crimson sword light. He immediately turned into a gust of black wind and flew backward.
The sword light and the black gas intertwined for a while, and finally collapsed at the same time.
Seeing this, Liu Ming frowned slightly, but he didn't chase.
As a result, when the ghost shadow just escaped for more than a hundred meters, the wall on one side suddenly burst open. At the same time, dense green silk ejected out, turning into a large net that covered the ghost shadow.
The ghost shadow was caught off guard, and it was in a narrow mine. There was no way to avoid it. He could only scream and wrap himself in the black mist to take the attack head-on.
"Poof".
The big green net flashed away, and the ghost shadow and the black gas around him were all caught in the net.
A strange laughter came from the stone wall. Under a flash of black light, a round head-like thing flew out.
It was the Demon Flying Skull!
It turned out that after Liu Ming entered the mine, the seemingly casual palm on the cave wall had already released the Demon Flying Skull and Bone Scorpion secretly. They were lurking around like a shadow all the way.
With the help of these two Condensation Period later stage cultivators, he wasn't afraid of the two ghost shadows at all.
Hearing the strange cry of the Demon Flying Skull, Liu Ming smiled slightly. As he was about to fly over, he frowned slightly. His figure blurred and disappeared in place.
At the same time, another cloud of black mist had flashed behind him and passed through his afterimage.
"Liu, be careful, this is another ghost shadow!"
The series of changes before made the middle-aged scholar react. Seeing Liu Ming barely avoided the sneak attack of the other ghost shadow, he couldn't help but shout in shock. He then waved one hand and took out a silver awl.
But before the Xu Family elder released the spiritual weapon, Liu Ming had already seemingly flicked his wrist casually. Dense sword shadows flashed, and they turned into a hill that surged forward.
As the crimson sword shadows flashed, there was a howl in the black mist. The howl was full of pain.
An earth-shattering sound rang out!
Countless crimson lights burst out from the black mist and tore it apart, revealing the ghost figure inside.
This ghost had a green face and fangs; a pair of red eyes like copper bells; its body was covered with fine and short hair; its five fingers were hooked like eagle claws.
"It turns out to be a green face ghost." Liu Ming glanced and muttered to himself.
This ghost was covered with scars. It was obviously injured by the blow just now, but there was no blood flowing out of the wound. It just kept emitting wisps of black gas.
The green face ghost stared at Liu Ming in front of him with a pair of big eyes. There was a trace of fear in its expression. It suddenly turned around and wanted to escape into the depths of the cave.
But at this moment, under the ground where it was standing, a purple light flashed suddenly. A pair of giant pincers broke out of the ground and clamped the bare feet of the ghost.
The green face ghost was shocked. After a loud roar, it struggled desperately with its legs. At the same time, its pair of hideous claws also turned into a claw shadow and clawed at the giant pincers.
But after a muffled sound, the silver giant pincers didn't move at all. There was not even a trace on the surface.
The next moment, a wisp of black and purple mist appeared on the giant pincers. As soon as it touched its feet, its skin and flesh festered and withered quickly.
The green face ghost immediately let out a miserable scream. The black gas rolled down its body, and its claws doubled in size. It attacked the giant pincers even more crazily, but it was still useless.
At this moment, there was a "swoosh".
A blurred crystal shadow instantly ejected from the ground behind the ghost. With just a blur, it pierced through the back of the ghost's head.
