The Celestial Masters didn't have time to think and acted at once.
"Split up!" one Celestial Master shouted.
But just as they prepared to strike, a sinister whisper echoed in the darkness. A strange evil spirit mask floated into the air, spinning slowly.
"Hehehe… Mortals, kill them all."
A cold voice emanated from the mask. Countless pitch-black shadows erupted from the ground, spreading like rampant black vines and lunging at the Celestial Masters!
"These shadows are cursed—be careful!" A Celestial Master quickly formed a spell with his hands, flinging a talisman. The yellow talisman flared up in the air, turning into a blazing light-blade that slashed at the shadows.
"Boom!"
The talisman's light exploded, but the shadows writhed like living things, splitting rapidly to dodge the attack before surging forward again.
"Wretched fiend!" Another Celestial Master roared, pressing his palms together as lightning flickered. A bolt of thunder suddenly crashed down, dispersing several shadows in an instant.
But one of the Ghost Kings stood calmly at the center of the shadows, a cold smirk on its lips. Then it threw its arms open, and a wave of shadows burst from its back, forming countless twisted ghostly hands that grabbed at the group!
"Thunder Curse · Heavenly Fire Exorcism!"
Jia Daozun formed a spell with both hands and thrust forward. A blazing thunderball condensed and smashed into the Ghost King!
"Boom!"
Thunder exploded, churning the shadows around the Ghost King. A massive gash was burned into its form by the lightning! But it did not fall. Instead, it let out an ear-piercing shriek, and its shadows suddenly swelled, revealing twisted faces in the darkness that roared furiously.
"Celestial Masters! Follow me to break the formation!" Another Dao Lord shouted. Several Celestial Masters immediately responded, their hands shifting rapidly through spells as yellow talismans, lightning, and flames interwove. The abandoned factory was filled with chaotic talisman lights and black mist, with deafening explosions going off non-stop!
On the other side, Zhang Daozun and Jia Daozun had engaged the evil ghost cultivators!
"Old Daoist dogs, you all die here today!" one evil ghost cultivator cackled, clapping his hands. Black mist surged wildly, and a hideous ghost claw protruded from the void, lunging at Zhang Daozun!
"Arrogant!" Zhang Daozun snorted, flicking his wrist. A flying sword shot into the air, its blade wrapped in lightning, slicing through the mist toward the ghost claw!
"Boom!"
The ghost claw broke under the thunder sword, but the evil cultivator just smirked and slammed his hands on the ground. A black magic circle appeared with swirling yin energy, and a huge ghost face burst out, opening its mouth to eat Zhang Daozun!
"Let there be thunder!"
Zhang Daozun pointed upward. The dark clouds overhead suddenly split, and a thunderbolt pierced the sky, slamming into the ghost face!
"BOOM!!!"
Thunder exploded, shaking the entire factory. The evil cultivator staggered back under the blinding light. Then Jia Daozun pressed his fingers together, forming a spell, and his fist erupted with lightning. With a roar, he threw a punch, and the thunder hit the evil cultivator's face like a dragon, sending him rolling across the ground!
"Damn you!" The other evil cultivator snarled, weaving rapid hand signs. Countless black chains rose from the ground, lashing out to entangle everyone!
"You think you can trap us? Dream on!" Zhang Daozun scoffed. His flying sword shook, sending out a storm of sword shadows. Each shadow crackled with lightning like shooting stars, rushing at the evil cultivator!
"BOOM BOOM BOOM!"
...
"Is that all you've got?" The Ghost King sneered, its ghost qi churning as it condensed a pitch-black spear, wrapped in malevolent energy and glowing with an eerie light at the tip.
"Why don't you find out?" Lin Yuan advanced instead of retreating, closing his fist to form a ghostly green saber, its blade twisting as if ablaze with infernal fire!
"Kill!"
"BOOM!"
Blade and spear clashed, unleashing a deafening shockwave. Ghost energy surged wildly, and cracks spread across the ground like spiderwebs! The two figures moved so fast, they blurred, trading dozens of strikes in a flash.
The Ghost King grew increasingly alarmed.
"Impossible… How can a mere Ghost General match me?"
But Lin Yuan's offensive only grew more relentless.
"Host, your saber techniques are powerful, but aren't they too monotonous? You need to master multi-tasking," Jiuchong's voice echoed in his mind.
"…Multi-tasking?"
Lin Yuan grasped the idea instantly, a smirk tugging at his lips. "Right—this is how."
The next moment, Lin Yuan abruptly changed his strike, slashing downward with all his might. The Ghost King blocked with its spear, but the moment their weapons hit, several ghost-green flames lit up behind it.
"What?!"
The flames behind Lin Yuan suddenly surged forward, slamming into the Ghost King's body!
"BOOM BOOM BOOM!"
Thunderous explosions rocked the ruins. The Ghost King let out a wail as it plummeted from the sky, its ghost qi broken and body engulfed in green flames, slamming harshly into the ground.
Lin Yuan descended slowly, gripping his saber in one hand, with ghostly flames flickering in his eyes.
====================
天师们没有时间犹豫,立刻行动.
"分头行动!" 一名天师大喝.
然而,就在他们准备出手时,一阵诡异的低语声在黑暗中回荡,紧接着,一个诡异的恶灵面具悬浮在空中,缓缓旋转.
"呵呵呵... 凡人,杀了,都杀了."
一道森冷的声音从面具中传出,紧接着,无数漆黑的阴影从地面窜出,如同疯长的黑色藤蔓般迅速蔓延,朝天师们扑去!
"这些阴影有问题,小心!" 一位天师猛地掐诀,挥手打出一道符咒,黄符腾空燃起,化作一道炽烈的光刃,斩向阴影.
"轰!"
符光炸裂,但那些阴影竟然像是活物一样,迅速分裂,绕开了攻击,继续向天师们袭来!
"孽障!" 另一位天师怒喝,双手结印,雷光闪烁,猛然间,一道雷霆轰然劈下,瞬间将数道阴影击散.
然而,其中一只鬼王却不慌不忙地站在阴影中央,嘴角露出一抹森冷的笑意,下一瞬,它猛然张开双臂,大片阴影从它的背后爆发出来,凝聚成无数扭曲的鬼手,朝众人抓去!
"雷咒·天雷焚邪!"
贾道尊双手掐诀,猛然向前一推,一道雷光凝聚成炽烈的雷球,轰然砸向鬼王!
"轰!"
雷光炸裂,鬼王身上的阴影剧烈翻腾,竟然被雷电灼烧出一个巨大的裂口!然而,它并未倒下,而是发出刺耳的尖啸,阴影骤然暴涨,一张张扭曲的面孔在黑暗中浮现,张口怒吼.
"天师们!随我破阵!" 另一位道尊喝道,几位天师立刻响应,他们双手不断变幻印诀,黄符,雷光,火焰交错,一时间,整个废弃工厂被符光与黑雾交织,炽烈的爆破声震耳欲聋!
另一边,张道尊与贾道尊已经迎战邪鬼修!
"道门老狗,今日你们统统得死在这里!" 一名邪鬼修狂笑,双手一合,黑雾疯狂涌动,一只狰狞的鬼爪从虚空探出,直扑张道尊而去!
"狂妄!" 张道尊冷哼,单手一扬,一道飞剑破空而出,剑身雷光缠绕,划破黑雾,直刺鬼爪!
"轰!"
鬼爪被雷剑斩碎,但邪鬼修不以为意,双手猛然拍地,一个漆黑的法阵浮现,阴气翻涌,一张巨大的鬼脸猛然从阵中冲出,张开血盆大口,狠狠向张道尊吞噬而去!
"雷来!"
张道尊抬手一指,天空中的乌云陡然炸裂,一道雷霆贯穿长空,狠狠轰在鬼脸之上!
"轰隆!!"
雷光炸裂,整个工厂都在震动,邪鬼修被强光逼得连连后退.随后,贾道尊双指并拢,猛然结印,拳头瞬间被雷光包裹,他暴喝一声,一拳轰出,雷霆如狂龙般劈在邪鬼修脸上,直接将他砸得连滚数圈!
"岂有此理!" 另一名邪鬼修怒吼,双手狂掐法诀,无数黑色的锁链从地面升起,疯狂缠向所有人!
"想困住我们?休想!" 张道尊冷哼,飞剑一震,无数剑影漫天激射而出,每一道剑光都裹挟着雷电之力,宛如流星般撞向邪鬼修!
"轰轰轰!"
...
"就凭你?" 鬼王冷笑,手中鬼气翻腾,迅速凝聚出一杆漆黑的长矛,鬼气缠绕,尖端泛着渗人的幽光.
"试试看不就知道了?" 林远不退反进,五指一握,鬼气凝聚成一柄幽绿色的长刀,刀身扭曲,仿佛燃烧着地狱之火!
"杀!"
"轰!"
刀矛交击,爆发出震耳的冲击波,鬼气翻腾,地面出现一道道裂痕!两者瞬间交错,刹那间已交手数十回合!
鬼王越打越心惊.
"不可能... 区区鬼将,怎么可能与我抗衡?"
然而,林远的攻势不仅没有减弱,反而越发凌厉!
"宿主,你的刀法虽然很强,但是不是太单调了?要会一心二用啊."
九重的声音在脑海中响起.
"... 一心二用?"
林远瞬间领悟,嘴角一勾:"对啊,我可以这样."
下一刻,林远猛然变招,一刀狠狠劈下,鬼王用长矛抵挡,刀矛交接的瞬间,鬼王背后骤然亮起几道幽绿色的鬼火.
"什么?!"
林远身后的鬼火突然猛然加速,瞬间贴上鬼王的身体!
"轰轰轰!"
剧烈的爆炸声响彻废墟,鬼王惨叫着从空中跌落,鬼气破碎,身躯燃烧着幽绿色的火焰,狠狠砸在地上!
林远单手持刀,缓缓落地,眼中幽火跳跃.
