Chapter 1400: Red Demon

With a flash of the small saber, a saber light over ten zhang long shot straight towards the blood-red sword. Meanwhile, another emerald-green ring emitted a clear chime, transforming into a vast, hazy green phantom that also flew towards the blood-red sword.

"Don't even think about it!" shouted a Long family cultivator upon seeing the young woman's action. He then slapped a white jade pendant at his waist with one hand.

The object transformed into a beam of white light and shot skyward, spinning rapidly in the air before manifesting as a hazy white light screen that enveloped the blood-red sword beneath it.

Instantly, the saber light and the phantom struck the light screen, and two loud bangs echoed. The white light screen shook violently, with countless runes floating out from it, yet it stubbornly withstood the combined strike of the two treasures.

The young woman's expression subtly changed. Without hesitation, she raised one hand, sending a spell toward the golden short saber, while simultaneously chanting incantations.

The short saber flared with brilliant light and struck at the white light screen once more.

This strike appeared light and effortless, seemingly without any force, but a colossal saber light, incredibly thick and over a hundred zhang long, suddenly emerged above the light screen, slowly descending as if a heaven-cleaving blade.

Even before this blade truly descended, the surrounding air trembled incessantly, emitting a buzzing, piercing sound.

Anyone could tell that if this saber light landed solidly, no matter how miraculous the white light screen was, it would be utterly unable to withstand it.

Just then, another Long family cultivator let out a cold snort and abruptly ripped off his long robe, immediately revealing a horrifying body.

On this seemingly ordinary half-body, there were surprisingly seven or eight fist-sized crimson ghost heads simultaneously biting various parts of his upper body, continuously wriggling slightly.

The cultivator let out a sharp shriek from his mouth, and immediately, three ghost heads on his body loosened their grip with a shake, then vanished into thin air with a tremble.

The next moment, above the white light screen, three masses of ominous energy burst forth.

Within the ink-black energy, three red-haired, crimson ghosts, five or six zhang tall, eerily appeared.

The three evil ghosts looked at the colossal saber light in the sky. Suddenly, two of them rolled over and transformed into two crimson longswords, which were then grasped by the evil ghost in the middle.

Immediately, the ominous energy swirled, merging into the ghost and the two great swords.

The evil ghost immediately let out an earth-shattering shriek, its body swelling seven or eight times in size to become over thirty zhang tall. It then raised its crimson ghost swords, which had also magnified several times, and made a cross-slash at the saber light in the sky.

As crimson light and golden light intertwined and flashed, an earth-shattering bang erupted!

The descending colossal saber light was surprisingly blocked by the two great swords, each over ten zhang long.

With a subsequent tremble, the saber light dispersed and vanished.

Correspondingly, the two ghost swords below and the evil ghost's two thick arms holding the swords shattered inch by inch without any warning, turning into swirling red mist that remained condensed and did not dissipate.

Just then, a phantom swirled once, then smashed down towards the evil ghost.

The red-haired evil ghost in the middle showed no panic at this sight. The red mist before it merely swirled, and the ghost's arms and two great swords re-materialized, as if they had been unharmed all along.

The phantom's strike was naturally easily blocked by the two great swords and sent flying with a single blow.

Seeing this from a distance, the young woman's face paled slightly.

Gritting her teeth, she flicked her sleeve, and three fist-sized light orbs—yellow, red, and white—shot out. After a single swirl, three exotic treasures—a xiao flute, a guqin, and a pipa—appeared side by side.

The young woman's fingers moved like a blur, furiously pointing at the three treasures. The three treasures simultaneously emitted strange lights, and three different colored light mists shot out concurrently, merging into one along the way, transforming into a three-colored light mist that swept towards the evil ghost.

However, after the light mist flew for a short distance, another mass of ominous energy exploded before it, and then four red-haired evil ghosts reappeared.

They simultaneously opened their mouths wide towards the oncoming three-colored light mist, and four streams of black ominous energy sprayed out, instantly blocking the three-colored light mist, appearing to be in a stalemate.

The young woman was startled. Just as she was about to cast another spell, a soft "whoosh" sounded above her head, and a crimson shadow eerily flickered out of thin air. With a wave of its hands, two thick sword auras slashed down fiercely.

The red ghost that had originally been positioned on the white light screen had, unbeknownst to her, torn through space and silently teleported directly above her head.

The young woman was filled with both alarm and fury. Her figure blurred, transforming into a golden rainbow that shot away, barely dodging the attack. At the same time, with a single hand gesture, the golden saber and green ring from afar whistled back, circling and furiously striking the evil ghost above her head.
