Death Sutra - Chapter149

I looked at the Ghost King realm Jing Ghost and gulped. Then, I asked Tong Tong, "Tong Tong, what's your cultivation base now?"

Tong Tong seemed to be very interested in the Jing Ghost. She looked as though she wanted to go and greet her. When she heard my question, she answered casually, "When that man asked me that last time, didn't you know that I have the power of a Ghost Marshal?"

I tried to recall and remembered that when I was searched by the Metaphysics Union, the old man who raised ghosts had asked me that question. At that time, I just thought that Tong Tong's Yin energy was stronger than my Dao energy, so I casually guessed that she had the power of a Ghost Marshal. I didn't expect that I would be right.

However, one of us had the acupressure realm, while the other had the Ghost Marshal realm. Obviously, we weren't a match for the Jing Ghost.

What I could rely on the most were the spirits in the jade bracelet.

If we were facing the Metaphysics Union's Knowledge Glory expert, those ghosts could stop us for a while. It wouldn't be a problem for us to run away. However, they were useless against the Jing Ghost.

While I was hesitating, the Jing Ghost looked impatient. Her blood-red lips moved slightly, and she spat out the word, "Die!"

Then, her body shook and she stormed toward me.

As the Jing Ghost moved, a gust of cold wind arose. It was so strong that it blew away all the items in the room. In just a blink of an eye, the room was a mess.

I was lucky that I had asked Wang Yongjun and the others to leave first. Otherwise, this gust of cold wind would have hurt them badly.

I didn't dare to underestimate the Ghost King's attack. I hurried to take out the only defensive magic tool I had, the Square Sky Fan. At this moment, I had enough Dao energy. This was the first time I had proactively urged the Square Sky Fan.

In just a blink of an eye, the lonely grave appeared in the room again. The Jing Ghost, who was dashing toward me, slowed down. When she reached the grave, she was walking.

Moreover, she wasn't walking in a straight line anymore. Instead, she was circling around the grave.

This situation looked like a person encountering a ghost hitting a wall.

It was normal for a person to encounter a ghost hitting a wall, but it was strange when the Jing Ghost started to hit a wall.

No matter what, the Square Sky Fan had easily blocked Jing Gui's first wave of attack. However, I didn't have the time to be happy. Soon, I realized that something was wrong.

Although the Square Sky Fan has the ability to automatically protect its owner, under my active activation, it kept absorbing my Qi of the Way at an extremely fast rate.

I only have one acupoint of cultivation, and half of the Dao Qi in the first acupoint of the Heaven Meridian has disappeared in a short period of time.

At this rate, I won't be able to hold on much longer.

After thinking for a while, I took out the jade bracelet and began to absorb the Dragon Vein Qi inside to replenish my Dao Qi. Unfortunately, although the Dragon Vein could replenish my Dao Qi quickly, it couldn't compare to the speed at which my Dao Qi was being consumed. At most, I could only hold on for a few more minutes. I had to think of another way.

There are many hand seals recorded in the Death Scripture. Among them, there's a hand seal that specializes in restraining ghosts. It's relatively simple, and I've dabbled in it before. Now, I can barely use it.

This seal was known as the "Earth Overturning Seal". Yin spirits came from the earth, and the Earth Overturning Seal was the bane of Yin spirits.

However, the difference in cultivation between me and the Jing Ghost was too great. It was hard to say what effect it would have in the end.

At this moment, I had no other choice. I didn't have time to think about it and quickly chanted the Purifying Heart Mantra. After my mind had calmed down, I began to form hand seals with both hands.

Forming hand seals was similar to making talismans. One's mind had to enter an ethereal state, and both hands contained Dao Qi. With continuous movements, the trajectory of the Dao Qi gradually condensed into a mysterious pattern. Then, it slowly separated from the hands and formed a huge Dao Qi light seal at the tip of my fingers.

The hand seal technique also consumed Dao Qi, and it consumed a lot of it. Just as the light seal was about to form, the Dao Qi that I had sent into the Square Sky Fan was only left with a tiny bit.

The Jing Ghost, who was spinning around the lone grave, suddenly raised his head. He opened his blood-red lips and let out a shrill scream. Then, he tore the air with both hands. The lone grave and wild grass pattern that the Square Sky Fan had formed was like a curtain that was torn apart by the Jing Ghost.

The lone grave collapsed, and the wild grass was broken. The Square Sky Fan returned to its original form, and the light on it became extremely dim.

The Jing Ghost's speed suddenly increased, and he pounced at me again.

Fortunately, the Earth Overturning Seal in my hand had already formed. The huge light seal suddenly flew up according to my thoughts, and smashed directly at the Jing Ghost below.

The Earth Overturning Seal, which was completely made of Dao Qi, smashed into the Jing Ghost's forehead with supreme power. The Jing Ghost was extremely fierce, and he didn't care at all. He even raised his head and violently collided with the Earth Overturning Seal.

Both of them were made of incorporeal bodies. When they collided, there was no sound. After the collision, the Earth Overturning Seal, which was made of Dao Qi, collapsed and dissipated. The Jing Ghost's head was also charred black, and there was even a small part of it missing. Only half of his head was left. He didn't slow down at all, and he continued to pounce at me.

At that moment, I was already exhausted. Tong Tong, who was already prepared, moved her hands, and from the tips of her middle fingers, two wisps of black energy suddenly emerged. The black energy was very pure and thick, like two thin black snakes that slithered towards the Jing Ghost.

The momentum of the two wisps of black energy wasn't as vast as the Earth Overturning Seal, but the Jing Ghost's expression was much more solemn. He didn't dare to use his body to resist, and instead used his blood-red hands to grab the black energy.

The speed of the black energy wasn't fast, so it was easy for the Jing Ghost to grab it. However, just as her hands touched the black energy, the end of the black energy suddenly rose up. In a split second, its speed increased, and it directly tied up the Jing Ghost's hands.

After tying them up, the two wisps of black energy continuously tightened, binding the Jing Ghost's hands tightly together.

Although the ward was big, it was just a room. At that moment, the Jing Ghost was less than a meter away from me. The thick red light around her made me squint. However, under the effect of the two wisps of black energy, she had to stop temporarily.

The Jing Ghost screeched again, and his hands fiercely pulled. However, no matter how hard he pulled, he couldn't get rid of the two wisps of black energy in her eyes.

Now that I had a chance to catch my breath, I didn't have time to retreat. I held the jade bracelet in my hand and quickly absorbed the dragon energy from it to replenish my energy.

Although the Earth Overturning Seal had been blocked by the Jing Ghost, looking at the injury on her head, the Earth Overturning Seal was definitely useful. As long as I recovered my energy, I could use the Earth Overturning Seal a few more times, and the Jing Ghost wouldn't be able to withstand it.

While I was recovering, I turned to look at Tong Tong. Her small face was pale with a tinge of cyan. Now, it was completely pale, and her body had dimmed.

It was obvious that the two wisps of black energy were a huge burden to her.

When my energy was about to recover to the point where I could use the Earth Overturning Seal again, the Jing Ghost suddenly stopped struggling. Instead, two streaks of blood flowed out of her blood-red eyes.

The blood tears didn't roll down her face, but directly fell on the two wisps of black energy that were wrapped around her wrists.

Then, like acid falling on a wooden board, the two wisps of black energy in her eyes suddenly emitted thick white smoke. Then, the two wisps of black energy dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Moreover, they became thinner and thinner, and it looked like they were about to disappear.

Tong Tong suddenly shouted at me, "Brother, hold the jade bracelet in your hand and form a seal. Use the power of the jade bracelet to attack her!"

At that moment, the energy in my body had just recovered, and I was about to form the Earth Overturning Seal again. Hearing Tong Tong's shout, I suddenly recalled the time when I first faced the flesh-eating baby. I held the jade bracelet in my hand and punched the flesh-eating baby.

Tong Tong said to use the power of the jade bracelet. Could it be that the jade bracelet itself had some kind of power?

I didn't have time to think about it. After I quickly formed the seal, I held the jade bracelet with both hands and condensed the Earth Overturning Seal formed by my energy on my fist. Then, I punched at the Jing Ghost!

Just as I made my move, the last wisp of black energy on the Jing Ghost's wrist was finally broken by her. Her blood-red eyes looked up at me again.

The moment she raised her head, my fist, along with the Earth Overturning Seal, hit her chest.

This time, perhaps because of the power of my fist, a muffled sound came from the Jing Ghost's chest. Then, my body trembled violently. My entire body was sent flying by the force of the collision. I hit the wall behind me and slowly fell.
