Cyber Ghosts - Chapter 168

Chapter 168 Original Form or No Form, That’s a Question
With a thumping sound, the remaining six people sat down on the ground, no longer looking at the Heaven Swords, but at Hao Ning as if he had been a ghost.

This big brother thought since Hao Ning could use this skill, he would certainly know the mystery of this. But how could the big brother know that Hao Ning was just a blind cat that ran into a dead mouse?

Hao Ning’s heart was also full of emotions: If I had known that the Combining Yin and Yang of Soul Cutter was so powerful, Xiao Hong would not have been hurt. Hao Ning regretted it in his heart, and when he looked at Xiao Hong’s heavy injuries, his feelings were even more mixed.

“Boy!” the big brother snapped. “How could you use the Combining Yin and Yang? In the past, most high-ranking people could only practice the extreme Yin, or the extreme Yang, and there were very rare masters that could practice both of them at the same time. And then when these masters tried to combine Yin and Yang, some of them died of blasting in a violent manner, while the rest of them suffered the mental disorders. Even if there were two people, one controlling Yin while the other one controlling Yang, it was useless. How could you do it?”

“So, they have studied it before.” Hao Ning understood. These people should have studied how to use the Soul Cutter, but for some reason, it was impossible for them to achieve the five of Yin and five of Yang. Hao Ning now was also a bit exhausted, so he pretended to smile with profound mystery and said: “One false step will make a great difference. You chose to control Yin and Yang respectively, which were absolutely wrong.”

“Why?” the Third asked. “Isn’t it better to divide and rule, being more focused?”

“It is necessary to divide, but also necessary to be combined!” Hao Ning took a long sigh and carefully adjusted his breath, while continuing to pretend to be inscrutable: “Don’t you know that ‘Yin is in Yang, not opposing Yang’? You manage to practice Yin and Yang respectively but want to acquire the skill of Combining Yin and Yang. Isn’t this as the same as going south by driving the chariot north? It’s like‒” While speaking, Hao Ning was hit by an idea. Since his skill had already shocked them, he could simply add some information to scare them again: “It’s like “Zhenwu Seven-Section Formation”. Doesn’t it also require seven people to cooperate very closely and share a consistent belief, in order to make the formation play the greatest power?”

When the remaining six people heard that Hao Ning said “Zhenwu Seven-Section Formation”, the colors on their faces changed and they shouted: “Big Brother! This person is something!”

“Brothers! Fight!” the big brother couldn’t help anymore, and he cried out. “Take out all the things stored at the bottom, otherwise, today our brothers will have to stay here forever!”

While saying, the seven people took out a small flag from their bosom respectively. Although the small flags were small, they shined the golden light. Then the seven people took out many silver balls, and when Hao Ning looked at the balls, he found that those were what Nezha called “Soul Coins Material”. Each person crushed the balls and made a part of the Soul Coin Material painted on the small flag, while another part taken into his own head. After the flag was coated with the Soul Coin Material, it unfolded without wind, as if having been injected with stimulants. As for those people, their bodies were shining silvery light, and they were muttering incantations. When the seven small flags flew out of the apricot bamboo hat, they were immediately turned into seven swords rotating in the air and then combined themselves into one sword. This sword was exactly the same as the sword which had hurt Xiao Hing across the air, except that this one was denser. This sword lightly waved towards Hao Ning across the air. Hao Ning immediately used the “Sliding-over-the-water Art” to keep away from it.

Sure enough, at the moment when Hao Ning slanted away, there was already a deep gully in the place where Hao Ning stood originally. Without thinking, Hao Ning dodged with the Sliding-over-the-water Art, and at the same time he let the Soul Cutter of Combining Yin and Yang out to fight against the giant sword. But this time it felt completely different. Although the Soul Cutter could still make gaps on this giant sword, the gap was too small and the damage to this giant sword was not obvious. It was obviously because of the Soul Coin Material and the combination of the seven swords. But after all, it still made the gaps. As long as the time was long enough, this giant sword would still be defeated. This was strange. These people did know the power of the Soul Cutter, but they still did so. What did they want to do?

“Hao Ning, they are using the stalling tactics to gain time!” Hao Ning was running, and suddenly he heard a voice of Xiao Hong near his ears. “They are planning to hold you back first, then use the Root Praying Method!”

Hearing Xiao Hong’s words, Hao Ning also understood, and then he looked at those people in the apricot bamboo hat and found that they had continued to cast the Root Praying Method. The small flags under their feet shook more wildly, which even caused a small wind that had slightly blown the paper-coated bamboo leave on the ground!

It could not go on like this. If it continued, Long Fei might not be able to be alive! Hao Ning quickly drove the Soul Cutter rushing to the apricot bamboo hat, but before it rushed forward, the giant sword chopped at him. He had no choice but to use the Soul Cutter to resist the giant sword, but as long as the Soul Cutter fight with the giant sword, he could not hurt the apricot bamboo hat.

This time, it could be seen that the big brother was meticulous. He knew that the Soul Cutter of Combining Yin and Yang was so powerful, and he was afraid that the apricot bamboo hat also could not resist it, so he managed to hold back Hao Ning with the giant sword. As long as Hao Ning was held back for a while and he pulled out the soul of Long Fei, everything would be easy. It just bothered Hao Ning. While being worried about how to save Long Fei, he needed to resist the attack of this giant sword at the same time.

This giant sword was easy to deal with, except for the inconsequential sword energy. Sometimes the Soul Cutter resisted the giant sword, but the sword energy of it rushed over, and Hao Ning still had to dodge. It meant that Hao Ning had to bear two kinds of damage by using the Soul Cutter resisting the actual one, and the Sliding-over-the-water Art dodging invisible one. All of a sudden, Hao Ning had been in a flurry.

“D**n, the Zhenwu Seven-Section Formation added with the giant sword is really powerful,” Hao Ning admired in his heart while he was using Sliding-over-the-water Art: “Turning the invisible Wuxiang sword energy into a real Youxiang attack. It’s really hard to withstand –- Wait a minute, if turning the Wuxiang idea into the Youxiang offensive…”

Thinking of this, Hao Ning suddenly found the key point: If they used such kind of strength to turn Wuxiang into Youxiang, then how about the kung fu skill that originally belonged to Wuxiang?

Hao Ning hurriedly used Sliding-over-the-water Art to run around the apricot bamboo hat. While running, he deliberately pretended to almost have a fall to show that he was in a hurry, and meanwhile, he quietly used the left index finger pointing to the seven people in the apricot bamboo hat, using the skill of “wuxiang-zhi” across the air.

Sure enough, on the earth under the Sixth’s feet in the apricot bamboo hat, appeared an inconspicuous little hole!

It worked!

The creator of this “wuxiang-zhi” was indeed a wizard! As it was “Wuxiang”, there was nothing to hold it back, nothing to stop it. In the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, Kuma Zhi had used the skill of wuxiang-zhi. With his hands in the sleeves, he could make the wood chips in front of everyone move just like dancing, and this was the essence of Wuxiang. Who knew that it could work here through the apricot bamboo hat!

Of course, this was not absolute. If there were no apricot bamboo hat to stop, when the wuxiang-zhi was used, these seven people might have been killed immediately. But with the apricot bamboo hat as a barrier, even though the wuxiang-zhi could pass through, it could only cause a small hole on the ground covered with the yellow light. The protection ability of the apricot bamboo hat was visible. Even so, Hao Ning was really excited.

Hao Ning had made his plans, but the giant sword constantly interfered on the top of his head, and he could not fully use his power. So, Hao Ning shouted: “Is there anyone who has a way to resist this giant sword for a while! I will be able to break their spells!”

“Big brother, isn’t this person crazy?” The Third looked at Hao Ning who suddenly yelled outside, curiously said to the big brother, “Who is he talking to?”

“Let him alone. Concentrate on casting spells!” The big brother seemed to feel abnormal, “In case undue delay may bring troubles!”

Hao Ning’s words just finished. Only hearing two voices “I come!” and “I am coming!”, Hao Ning found there were two people around. Hao Ning had a look. They were Zhou Yuan and Liu Shuai!

“Why are you two?” Hao Ning was a bit stupefied. He had shouted because he had expected Nezha to come out to help. As long as the Red Armillary Sash or some other magic weapon could withstand the giant sword for a while, he would have a way. But now these two fellows came. Except for seeking their doom, they had no other functions. “What can you do here? Come back hurriedly, and let that guy come!”

“No. He is trying to protect Long Fei, and he can’t get out,” Liu Shuai said with a smile. “Don’t be afraid. We will help you!”

“I really thank you in my heart!” Hao Ning said in an eager heart, shouted, “But what can you do except seeking for death?”

“You…Don’t look down on people!” Zhou Yuan reached out and pointed at the giant sword, and then the sword began to fly in the air at random like a fly without a head. Zhou Yuan was unhappy and muttered. “Don’t think that only you can make it. So, do you become something with so many kung fu skills? Huh, don’t we also have what we are good at?”

This giant sword was blocked by Zhou Yuan’s spells just for a short time. It trembled once in the air, and then stabilized its body, chopping at them.

“Yeah… Oh my god!” Liu Shuai was about to talk proudly. Who knew that the giant sword suddenly chopped? Hao Ning quickly swayed it, but the sword energy could not be swayed away. If there had been him, he could, of course, have kept away from it. Seeing Liu Shuai was going to be hurt, Hao Ning quickly drove the hilt of the Soul Cutter to remove Liu Shuai, for the hilt would not hurt people. Liu Shuai was naturally waving to avoid the sword energy, but because it was in a hurry, the sword energy still made a small scar on Liu Shuai’s face.

Liu Shuai touched his face, looked at the blood, and was shocked that no longer nonsense. He quickly bowed his head and took a broken stick to paint on the ground. After being wounded, this guy was more well-behaved. Even the speed of painting was faster than usual. After finishing painting, he shouted to Zhou Yuan: “Quick!”

“Good!” When Zhou Yuan saw it finished, he threw a string of beads and reached out a finger pointing at it. The beads were scattered in the air and landed on the ground painted by Liu Shuai. Zhou Yuan smacked the ground at this time: “Broken!” It could be seen that a blue stream of power flow from the hands of Zhou Yuan to the formation painted by Liu Shuai on the ground, all of a sudden like mercury infused the surface of the earth. Then Liu Shuai put his hands together and made a gesture, pointing between Hao Ning’s eyebrows, saying: “Close!”

Liu Shuai’s voice just fell, and the whole formation on the ground seemed to have life and moved to the place under the feet of Hao Ning, with Hao Ning as the center, and wherever Hao Ning went, the blue-ray formation would follow.

Hao Ning couldn’t figure out this formation for a moment, but he felt that he was familiar with it. He also felt that the whole world’s Yin and Yang were concentrated on himself, and everything was clear and running without stagnation.

“It was down. Fall back!” Liu Shuai made a voice. Zhou Yuan grabbed him, and then pointed to Xiao Hong. The three suddenly disappeared.

At this time, the giant sword just chopped down straightly, and it was too late for Hao Ning to stop it. He was ready to run away. Who knew that this giant sword suddenly disappeared at the place three feet above the top of his head? It was not only Hao Ning, but also the seven people that did not expect this change. When they were stunned, the next moment the giant sword that appeared on the top of the apricot bamboo hat, was about to chop at the seven people!

“Oh, no!” The big brother reacted very quickly and immediately turned the giant sword towards the sky. Then he took a deep breath and looked at Hao Ning in surprise: “You are in the Life-and-Death Annihilation of Two Elements Dust Array!”

“It’s even a mobile version!” Hao Ning got stunned for the voice of Liu Shuai and Zhou Yuan appeared in his ears. “Brother, do a good job. We the two brothers have given you our most valuable thing stored at the bottom!”

“I see!” Hao Ning suddenly understood and realized that the string of beads was a miniature “Two Elements Dust Array” Yunzhongzi once let Long Fei take to protect Zhou Yuan. But just after Zhou Yuan became a god, no one mentioned this thing again. Who knew that today it was taken out by Liu Shuai and Zhou Yuan to help Hao Ning protect Long Fei? This was really that even small things like food and drink had been fixed beforehand.

It made sense when he thought about it. In this time, except for the “Life and Death Annihilation Two Elements Dust Array”, what else could make the giant sword hitting at him disappeared in a moment and move to other places?

Thinking of that, Hao Ning recalled that just now Liu Shuai had had no power, but he was still ventured to help him by drawing the formation on the ground, and then Zhou Yuan urged it to start. If there had been any mistake, the two would have been doomed to die. It was extremely dangerous.

The two clearly knew that there was such a danger, but they still ventured to do such a thing. Hao Ning couldn’t help but feel moved.
