Chapter 2091: Extinguishing the Enemy and Future Troubles

Ye Haitang flicked her sleeve, and eighteen small black banners flew out. Amidst a series of piercing ghostly wails, these banners emitted a dazzling dark light and rapidly expanded, transforming into eighteen gleaming black flags. Numerous ferocious ghost faces could be seen on their surfaces, radiating immense Yin energy.

The Ghost Banner, Ye Haitang's Natal Artifact, had its power greatly enhanced after she arrived in the Black Luo Realm and refined numerous ghosts into it.

The eighteen Ghost Banners flew high into the sky, emitting rolling Yin energy that blotted out the sun and sky. The heavens instantly darkened. Beneath them, countless wisps of Yin energy surged from the ground, and a vast number of ferocious ghostly entities could vaguely be seen. Their sheer quantity was enough to make one's scalp tingle.

Fang Mu was not idle either; he summoned nine Heavenly Corpse puppets. All nine had been cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, and they spread out, completely surrounding Zhao Longfei and his two companions.

Zhao Longfei and his companions were greatly startled upon seeing the nine Heavenly Corpse puppets and eighteen Ghost Banners. They had not expected these two individuals to possess such terrifying power.

Zhao Longfei summoned a gleaming black banner. A lifelike black flood dragon was embroidered on its surface, radiating astonishing demonic energy.

A deafening dragon roar echoed, and the black flood dragon seemed to come alive, clawing and baring its fangs as it continuously moved across the banner's surface.

He waved the black banner, and the black flood dragon spewed a stream of black flames, enveloping them and carrying them towards the sky.

“Trying to escape? Too late.”

Fang Mu sneered. With a flick of his incantation hand sign, each of the nine Heavenly Corpse puppets spewed out a dazzling spiritual light, which converged into a thick nine-colored barrier encompassing an area of a thousand miles.

Ye Haitang continuously performed incantations, and the sounds of ghostly wailing intensified. A large number of ghostly entities surged out from the Ghost Banners. Among them was a gigantic skeleton over a hundred zhang tall, its entire body enveloped in black mist, with a cluster of green flames burning in its hollow eye sockets, emitting terrifying Yin energy fluctuations.

This was the Thousand Bone Demon, possessing Nascent Soul stage strength. The Black Luo Realm was the domain of demons, making it convenient to refine zombies, ghosts, and bone corpses.

Mu Dieyi swallowed hard at this sight. Her eyes were filled with apprehension, and her beautiful gaze shifted continuously, as if she was deep in thought.

“Madam Mu, aren't you going to act? Don't you want to avenge your husband?”

Ye Haitang's tone was cold.

Mu Dieyi shivered and quickly summoned a gleaming green porcelain bottle. After imbuing it with an incantation, the bottle rapidly expanded, emitting a pungent green miasma. The miasma churned and surged, transforming into a hundred-zhang-large green butterfly, which fiercely flapped its wings and darted towards the opposing side.

The nine Heavenly Corpse puppets blocked Zhao Longfei and his companions. When they struck the puppets with their magic treasures, muffled clanging sounds echoed, as if hitting a bronze wall or an iron barrier.

Zhao Longfei's expression darkened. He flipped his hand and took out a gleaming golden talisman, covered in golden electric arcs and radiating a violent aura.

This was the Fifth-tier Talisman of Geng-Thunder Demon Extermination, one of Zhao Longfei's trump cards.

Zhao Longfei gently flicked his wrist, and the Geng-Thunder Demon Extermination Talisman flew from his hand, transforming into a golden ray that shot towards the sky.

A dazzling golden light illuminated the high sky, as a massive golden thundercloud appeared abruptly, accompanied by flashes of lightning and rumbling thunder, with serpentine lightning continuously writhing within it.

Rumbling thunder sounded, and thick golden lightning bolts tore through the sky, striking down towards the nine Heavenly Corpse puppets below.

The nine Heavenly Corpse puppets' bodies radiated intense spiritual light, and a shimmering spiritual barrier appeared tightly around them.

The golden lightning struck them, producing a muffled thud. However, more golden lightning bolts soon descended, causing the nine Heavenly Corpse puppets to let out a series of agonizing roars, and a smell of something burning emanated from them.

The ghostly entities struck by the golden lightning instantly turned to ash. The gigantic skeleton, hit by the golden lightning, let out a piercing ghostly wail, and wisps of green smoke rose from its body.

Hundreds of swirling greenish-blue tornadoes swept over. Wherever they passed, countless rocks and earth shattered, and dust flew everywhere.

Zhao Longfei frowned deeply and transmitted a message: “I'll cover you. You must break through and report this to the Patriarch.”

After saying this, Zhao Longfei waved the black banner, and rolling black flames surged out, churning violently and transforming into a gigantic black fiery flood dragon, which moved to meet the incoming tornadoes.

The other two Nascent Soul cultivators' bodies radiated intense escape light, and they transformed into two streaks of light, flying rapidly in different directions.

Ye Haitang and her two companions naturally wouldn't stand idly by. However, Zhao Longfei took out a jet-black longbow with a miniature flood dragon coiled around its bow arm. He drew the bow and nocked three gleaming black arrows, aiming them at Ye Haitang and her two companions.

With three whistling sounds of arrows, the three black arrows shot forth as three black rainbows. After a brief blur, they transformed into three gigantic black flood dragons.

The three black flood dragons instantly appeared before Ye Haitang and her two companions, moving with extreme speed.

Ye Haitang flicked her wrist, and a black long whip appeared in her hand, with which she struck at one of the black flood dragons.

“No, this is a Black Flood Dragon Arrow! Don't meet it head-on!”

Mu Dieyi cried out in alarm, quickly warning them.

No sooner had she spoken than the black long whip struck the black flood dragon's back. The flood dragon's body trembled, and the next moment, it exploded, transforming into a blinding black light that enveloped an area of a hundred miles.

With rumbling explosions, the three black flood dragons successively detonated, and the dazzling dark light covered an area of several hundred miles.

Zhao Longfei's body radiated an intense golden light, transforming into a golden streak that flew into the distance.

He had not flown far when a bone sword, wreathed in black mist, descended from the sky, slashing towards Zhao Longfei.

Zhao Longfei waved the black banner, releasing a stream of black flames to meet it.

With a loud bang, the black flames were shattered by the bone sword, scattering embers.

A black light shot forth, instantly reaching Zhao Longfei's face.

The black banner in Zhao Longfei's hand suddenly blazed brightly, releasing a stream of black flames to protect himself, while his body also glowed with a golden light.

The black light passed through the black flames, then effortlessly pierced through the golden light and struck Zhao Longfei's body.

This was the Soul-Devouring Forbidden Light, which ignored most defensive barriers and specifically harmed the soul.

Zhao Longfei let out an excruciating scream. His eyes became dull, and his expression was dazed.

A ripple appeared above his head, and a jet-black ghostly claw materialized out of thin air, reaching downwards.

With a muffled thud, Zhao Longfei's head was twisted off by the black ghostly claw, and blood spurted several feet high. A miniature Nascent Soul flew out of his body. A black ethereal glow then descended from the sky, enveloped the miniature Nascent Soul, and swept it into the mouth of the Nine Nether Python, where it disappeared.

By this time, the other two Nascent Soul cultivators had vanished.

Ye Haitang frowned slightly. The Demonic Abyss Cave was fraught with dangers; forcibly pursuing and triggering a forbidden array would be troublesome.

“Let's leave here immediately!” Ye Haitang said solemnly. “Madam Mu, if you help us refine the Heavenly Devil Pills, we'll each go our separate ways afterwards.”

Mu Dieyi nodded. After what had happened, she no longer dared to return to Butterfly Valley.

The three of them collected their treasures and the valuables on the ground, then left the area.
