Zhang Kanwen's words made my heart feel even heavier. I did want to do my best to win this match, and I even promised that even if I was under a spell, I wouldn't stop Xie Chenghua and the others … But this didn't mean that I was willing to give up my life for this match. It was ironic, but my goal was actually similar to Xie Chenghua and the others, and that was to protect myself as much as possible.
However, looking at Zhang Kanwen's bloodshot eyes, I was silent for a while, and finally nodded. I lifted my feet and walked to the center of the open space.
No matter what, I had to do my best. Of course, while doing my best, I still had to ensure my own safety.
This sounded contradictory, but it was my only choice.
Soon, the Ghost Descendant Master, Lei Yang, who I met two days ago, also walked out from the Nanyang Taoist faction. As soon as he saw me, he smiled sinisterly and asked, "Are you Zhou Yi, the one who killed Senior Brother Liang?"
I cupped my fists and said noncommittally, "I am Zhou Yi."
After saying that, I didn't waste any more time. I directly guided the Dao Qi and chanted the Divine Golden Light Spell.
Lei Yang wanted to say something, but when he saw my actions, his eyes flashed sinisterly. He immediately took out a glass bottle and instantly summoned a dozen shadows that surged towards me.
I had to say that Lei Yang didn't underestimate me at all. Even though he knew that I was in the Pressure Point Realm, he didn't dare to be careless. It was no different from how he dealt with Xie Chenghua and the others two days ago. In fact, the speed at which he summoned the Ghost Descendant was even faster.
I had used the Divine Golden Light Spell many times, so I was very familiar with it now. When the spirits rushed over, a circle of golden light rose from my body, blocking in front of the spirits.
Spirits had spirits, but the spirits summoned by the Ghost Descendant Technique didn't seem to have any intelligence. Even when they saw the golden circle of light, they didn't have any intention of dodging and directly collided with it.
With a series of sizzling sounds, the dozens of ghosts collided with the golden halo. It was like throwing ice cubes into a fire. Their bodies disappeared in the blink of an eye, turning into black smoke that rose into the air.
Lei Yang's face froze, and he seemed to not dare believe the scene before his eyes. When he recovered from his shock, these spirits had already transformed into black smoke and directly vanished from the arena, and not even a trace of them was left behind.
The Divine Golden Light Mantra was one of the Eight Great Mantras of Taoism. With the combination of the original mantra, talismans, hand seals, astral steps, and incantations, its power could be said to be terrifying. It was especially effective against Yin spirits, zombies, and the like.
Rumor had it that there was a Golden Light Armor in the ancestral court of the Righteous Dao. It was the source of the Golden Light Spell. Even if an ordinary person were to wear it, all evil things that came close to it would be destroyed.
Currently, I can only master the three techniques of the Incantation, Talisman, and Hand Seal, but this is still not something that Lei Yang's dozen or so Yin Spirits can approach.
After suffering a setback, Lei Yang's sinister expression lessened a bit, and his expression became more solemn. He took out a smaller porcelain bottle from his body, opened the lid, and raised his right hand. He used the nail of his thumb to cut his middle finger, and a string of beads of blood splashed out, falling right into the porcelain bottle.
There was a blood curse in the Tame Head Technique that only a high-level Tame Head Master could use. It could greatly increase the power of the Tame Head Technique.
To be more specific, during the process of descending, the Tame Head Master's blood essence would be used as a primer.
Lei Yang's action of cutting his middle finger to draw blood was precisely this blood curse technique.
In Fengshui, there was also a saying about the blood from the tip of the tongue and the blood from the tip of the finger. However, Fengshui Masters cultivated Daoist Qi, so the blood from their fingertips was pure Yang blood. On the other hand, Tame Head Master cultivated Yin Qi, so the blood from their fingertips was pure Yin blood. There were many differences between the two.
After Lei Yang's essence blood fell into the porcelain bottle, a dark grey mist instantly rose. It suddenly dissipated in the air, turning into dozens of black shadows that landed on the ground. They seemed to have surrounded me.
It was easy to distinguish the power of the Tame Ghost Technique. The more ghosts there were, the more powerful it would be. Lei Yang was enraged, and he wanted to use the most powerful Tame Head Technique.
I didn't dare to be careless. While maintaining the Golden Light Divine Incantation, I read the Pure Yang Divine Incantation.
Although the Golden Light Divine Incantation had a strong restraining effect on ghosts, it could only be used to defend. I was confident that I could stop the dozens of ghosts in front of me. However, Lei Yang was a Tame Ghost Master at the later stage of Glorious Memory. He had many tricks up his sleeve. Sooner or later, the Golden Light Divine Incantation would be exhausted by the Daoist Qi. To find a chance to win, I had to take the initiative and attack.
The Pure Yang Divine Incantation was also one of the Eight Great Divine Incantations of Taoism. However, it was much more complicated and profound than the Golden Light Divine Incantation. I wasn't able to use it as easily as I wanted to. Only when the dozens of ghosts had exhausted the golden halo around me did I finally draw out the pea candle flame.
Because of the ghosts, the temperature in the venue had dropped a lot, making people feel cold. However, when the pea candle flame appeared on my fingertip, the previous coldness disappeared and was replaced by warmth.
After using two divine incantations, the Daoist Qi in my body had been used up. I felt a little dizzy. Taking advantage of the fact that the golden halo around me hadn't completely disappeared, I pulled myself together and waved my hand. The pea candle flame floated towards Lei Yang.
At the same time, I grabbed the jade bracelet and quickly replenished my Daoist Qi.
Even though Lei Yang was a member of the Nanyang Daoist Faction, he was at the later stages of Glorious Memory, so he naturally had some knowledge. When he saw the pea candle flame, his expression instantly changed. Without any hesitation, he took out two porcelain bottles that were similar to the previous ones and used the Blood Divine Incantation to quickly summon almost a hundred ghosts. This time, he didn't command the ghosts to descend towards me. Instead, he surrounded himself and looked at the pea candle flame with a bewildered expression.
Even the people from the Guangdong branch exclaimed in surprise. They pointed at the candle flame and said something in bewilderment. However, all of my attention was focused on Lei Yang, so I didn't notice anything.
Finally, the candle flame floated in front of Lei Yang and touched the ghosts that had descended.
Just like the Divine Golden Light Incantation from before, once the ghost formed the candle flame, it immediately turned into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated. However, the difference was that the Divine Golden Light Incantation still needed to come into contact with the ghost. Once the candle flame floated over, any ghost that came within three feet of the candle flame would instantly disappear without a trace.
Seeing this scene, I heaved a sigh of relief. As a Ghost Subduing Master, Lei Yang's skills were all on ghosts. Even though a Ghost Subduing Master of his level had a lot of ghosts around him, the Golden Light Divine Incantation and Pure Yang Divine Incantation were enough to block his spells. In addition, I had the jade bracelet that could continuously replenish my Daoist Qi.
A Fengshui Master at the Glorious Memory realm definitely had more Daoist Qi or Yin Qi stored in his body than I did. However, he didn't have any items to replenish his Yin Qi. If we continued to fight in a stalemate, I would have a higher chance of winning.
It seemed that it was true. After more than one hundred ghosts were destroyed by the Pure Yang Divine Incantation, Lei Yang reached out his hand and took out two more porcelain bottles. He summoned more than one hundred ghosts to protect him.
It seemed that he really wanted to drag it out with me. Just as I heaved a sigh of relief, Lei Yang suddenly sat cross-legged on the spot. He closed his eyes and muttered an incantation.
I had a bad premonition, but I couldn't think of what kind of spell Lei Yang was going to use. I could only stand there and be vigilant. I had to stay put and deal with the situation.
Around two minutes later, Lei Yang finally moved … To be exact, his head finally moved.
Lei Yang suddenly opened his eyes. His body was still sitting cross-legged, but his head had suddenly soared into the air!
I was startled. I had heard about the Nanyang Tame Head Technique and the Flying Head Technique. However, I didn't expect that Lei Yang, a Ghost Subduing Master, would also practice the Flying Head Technique!
The Flying Head Technique was a technique where the Tame Head Technique master used a talisman to descend and make his head fly away from his body to increase his power.
Among all the Tame Head Techniques, the Flying Head Technique was the strangest and most powerful one.
According to the legends, when the Flying Head Technique was practiced, the master had to endure the pain of having his neck broken. Moreover, his stomach and intestines were still connected to his head. The master couldn't fly more than three meters above the ground. Moreover, he had to go out every night to suck the blood of children. After forty-nine days, he would finish the first stage.
Only after he finished the seventh stage could he master the Flying Head Technique. At that time, the master wouldn't have to worry about his stomach and intestines anymore. Moreover, his flying speed and height would increase, and his fighting power would increase by leaps and bounds.
After Lei Yang's head flew up, his eyes glinted with a bloodthirsty light. He flew directly toward me.
He was so fast that I didn't have time to urge the Golden Light Divine Incantation. I had to summon the Pure Yang Candle Flame to block in front of me.
Fortunately, the Pure Yang Candle Flame's Yang Qi was extremely dense. Even though Lei Yang had used the Flying Head Technique, he didn't dare to break through the Pure Yang Candle Flame. For a moment, I was in a deadlock with him.
Unfortunately, without the suppression of the Pure Yang Candle Flame, the spirits in the distance regrouped and rushed toward me again.
It wasn't difficult to deal with the Flying Head Technique alone. However, when the Tame Ghosts and spirits pounced on me, I was destined to lose sight of them.
I had no choice but to chant the Golden Light Divine Incantation again to block my surroundings.
This time, the Dao Qi that I had just recovered was used up again in the blink of an eye.
Lei Yang had obviously discovered my intentions. He didn't give me any time to recover my Dao Qi. With his many methods, he forced me into a situation where my Dao Qi was being rapidly consumed. In this way, even with the True Dragon Vein, I couldn't recover my Dao Qi quickly. The situation became dangerous again.
This time, I didn't have a good way to deal with him. I could only continue the deadlock with him and see who could last until the end.
Shortly after, under the continuous attacks of the Tame Ghosts and spirits, the Golden Light Divine Incantation Ghosts I had just summoned vanished. Most of the Tame Ghosts and spirits had disappeared, leaving only a dozen or so.
I hurried to take out a Golden Light Talisman that I had prepared earlier to block them.
While I heaved a sigh of relief, Lei Yang's headless body suddenly took out two porcelain bottles. After opening the lids, he didn't even chant the incantation and directly released the spirits.
This time, I was dumbfounded. No wonder Lei Yang, a Tame Ghost Master, wanted to learn the Flying Head Technique. It turned out he could use both at the same time!
This time, the power wasn't as simple as one plus one. It was several times stronger!
While the newly summoned spirits were attacking me, Lei Yang's head crazily attacked me. He even got close to the Pure Yang Candle Flame a few times. Half of his face was burned black. However, he didn't care and continued to attack.
Compared to the Tame Ghosts and spirits, the Flying Head Technique was obviously more terrifying. I couldn't help but pay more attention to it. As I blocked left and right, I seemed to be in a very difficult situation.
However, even though I was in a difficult situation, I didn't last too long because the Tame Ghosts and spirits had finally gotten close to me and were crazily attacking me.
I hastily used the various talismans on my body to block them. Afterwards, the dozens of spirits behind me pounced on me and disappeared.
In an instant, I felt as if my body had entered a cold cellar. The surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped by a lot.
Lei Yang's head laughed twice before quickly flying back to his body. At the same time, I quickly retracted the Pure Yang Candle Flame and frantically absorbed the Dao Qi in the jade bracelet. After that, I did my best to expel the cold Yin energy from my body.
It was a pity that even though I was in a stalemate with Lei Yang for a long time, in terms of power, his Glorious Knowledge late stage power was far above mine. I was unable to expel the Tame Ghost Technique with just Dao Qi.
After trying for a long time, it was to no avail. Lei Yang had already stood up and said to me with a smile, "As expected of the person who killed Senior Liang with a sneak attack. As expected of the most talented Fengshui Master in the continent's Metaphysics Association. You should be proud that you were able to last so long in front of me with just your Pressure Point Realm."
Even though he said that, I didn't feel proud at all. Instead, my mind was frantically working as I prepared to escape.
At that moment, I had already surrendered. I had already lost the duel. At the same time, the sparring competition had also come to an end. Next would be the time to settle the score. The people from the Nanyang Taoist faction would definitely request to bring me away. Under such a crushing defeat, the Guangdong branch had no reason to reject them.
Danger was about to arrive, and before that, I had to escape first. Thus, I couldn't care about anything else as I frantically absorbed the Dao Qi from the jade bracelet.
Even though I had made preparations and gotten Wang Kun to drive the car and wait for me outside, it definitely wasn't an easy task to escape from so many Glorious Knowledge realm Fengshui masters. At the very least, I would need a large amount of Dao Qi to support me.
At that moment, Lei Yang walked in front of me and smiled sinisterly as he continued, "You've already been affected by the Tame Ghost Technique. It's not that I'm boasting, but other than me, you definitely won't be able to find a second person who can remove the Tame Ghost Technique. Of course, your continent's Heavenly Master might be able to remove the Tame Ghost Technique, but the Tame Ghost Technique will take effect in three days. I'm afraid that it's already too late for you to find a Heavenly Master now … Why don't you imitate Mister Xie and Mister Liu and join our Sanling Sect?
As long as you're willing to join, I can immediately remove the Tame Ghost Technique and help you contact our Sanling Sect's Grand Supreme Elder. He will take you in as a disciple. What do you think? "
I closed my eyes and felt the cold energy in my body. Before I could say anything, I heard Tong Tong's voice in my head.
"Brother, why are there so many spirits in your body?
Let me help you expel them? "
Just as she said that, before I could reply, I felt an even more intense cold energy flow through my body. After the cold energy disappeared, the previous coldness also disappeared.
I couldn't help but smile. It wasn't because Tong Tong removed the Tame Ghost from my body, but because Tong Tong had woken up!
