Chapter 178 The Red-haired Ghost Fights Fan Rui
At night, Mangdang Mountain no longer looks like the scenery of this world as the devil uses his secret magic.
The cold wind in December was howling, and the branches and bushes seemed to be dancing wildly in the night wind. There was a chill in the air that was not physical, but could freeze the soul.
A thin moon like a wolf's tooth was hanging in the sky in an enchanting manner. The moonlight was like a veil, woven together, slowly spreading a bone-white light.
And among the desolate graves on the Mangdang Mountain, due to the gloomy and gloomy energy, the sound of miserable ghosts could be faintly heard, one after another.
It was obvious that a battle formation had been set up on the mountain.
"I, Fan Rui, have the best of both worlds. Little Meng De also has the advantage of numbers. I will capture him tonight and bring him up to the mountain. Then, I will follow Zhuge Kongming's example and pacify the southern barbarians. Liangshan may become our foundation."
"I have long coveted the 800-li Liangshan Lake. Now that little Meng De has offered himself to me, that's great!"
"Haha, boys, follow me down the mountain to catch the thief!"
At the foot of the mountain, Cao Jie used the Five Ghosts Technique to summon the red-haired ghost out of Liu Tang's body.
His current cultivation level in the God-Conceiving Realm is the seventh-grade Night Travel Realm. Once his [Counselor] is upgraded to the next level, he will be able to enter the Day Travel Realm.
Red-haired ghost!
Naturally, things are different now and have become even more brutal.
Late at night at the foot of Mangdang Mountain, a ten-foot-tall red-haired ghost stood proudly in the cold wind. His red hair floated into the sky, ignoring gravity, burning like flames.
The face that was half devil and half Buddha showed a merciful and sinister smile, and said in a muffled voice: "Brothers, I, the Red-haired Ghost, will be back soon!"
After saying that, he flew away to Mangdang Mountain.
Li Jun, Zhang Shun and others from the Jiangzhou faction all opened their mouths in surprise, unable to close them.
They knew their brother was very capable, but this kind of magical power was still incredible.
During the day, the devil used a secret method to summon the souls of two leaders, one was the eight-armed Nezha, and the other was the Monkey King who could fly and hide underground, forcing everyone to stay away from the mountain.
Just by feeling, the souls of the Liu Tang brothers summoned by my brother are far stronger than them!
"What a luxury!"
Li Kui's eyes widened, and he said greedily: "If my brother drives me to fly with the Black Whirlwind, can I also fly..."
"I thought it was some amazing magic, but it turned out to be a side door five ghost magic, not worth mentioning... Haha, it's all because of a thunderbolt!"
Chen Xizhen still had a look of disdain.
Having heard it so many times along the way, everyone just thought it was just him talking nonsense and ignored it.
But Song Jiang, who was standing next to him, knew that Cao Jie not only knew these unconventional techniques and the fundamental Buddhist principles, but had also begun to learn the magical powers from the Heavenly Book of the Queen Mother of the West.
The first magical power he passed on to Cao Jie was "Returning Wind and Fire".
To put it simply, it means letting the wind blow back and shrinking the burning flame.
It doesn't look like much, just a bit of wind and fire. Even a cultivator who has achieved great success in refining his essence will not be afraid of it. So what's the point of practicing hard to acquire this magical power?
However, if "Returning Wind and Returning Fire" is practiced to perfection, it can restrain and control Samadhi True Fire and Samadhi Divine Wind.
What is Samadhi True Fire?
The fire in Laozi's alchemy furnace is the Samadhi True Fire.
As for the Samadhi Divine Wind, it was this wind that the Yellow Wind Monster blew to hurt Sun Wukong.
This is one of the 36 Tiangang techniques, ranked 30th. On Mount Mangdang, Fan Rui, with his hair disheveled, was wandering in the air like a demon king, with "Eight-armed Nezha" Xiang Chong and "Flying Monkey King" Li Gun and their minions following closely behind him.
Under the leadership of such a master in the realm of pregnancy, they have been invincible in the more than one year they have been stationed in Mangdang Mountain, and even the officials and soldiers of the provincial government are not afraid of them.
The morale is naturally high.
At this time, a red-haired ghost blocked their way. The half-Buddha, half-demon face was ferocious yet compassionate. He shouted, "Devil King, do you recognize the red-haired ghost Liu Tang from Liangshan?"
The hair was so thick that it seemed to cover half the sky. The Demon King laughed loudly: "I am the Demon King of the Heaven of Transformation and Freedom. How can I recognize a little devil like you who crawled up from hell? However, I see that you have a bit of Asura's face. Why don't you join me and become a leader? Wouldn't it be free and easy?"
The red-haired ghost's muscles bulged, and he said in a fierce voice: "The devil does not know the true Buddha. Look at me, the red-haired ghost, and let me weigh you to see how much weight you really have."
As he was speaking, a ghost and a demon collided in the night sky. The red-haired ghost reached out his hand into the moonlight and actually grasped a ray of imaginary moonlight. With the help of this moonlight, he struggled to transform it into a knife and slashed it out.
The devil also realized the danger and shouted, "What a magical power!"
The sword energy transformed from moonlight swept across his body, and a clear wound appeared on his chest, but no blood flowed out. Instead, a sticky liquid like asphalt dripped down.
Before it hit the ground, it evaporated into wisps of black smoke and merged into the darkness.
The red-haired ghost's four arms reached into the moonlight again, and each of his palms transformed into a sword, a spear, a hook and a fork.
Cao Jie's attainments in "Baoyueguangwang Buddha" were all revealed in the red-haired ghost.
It’s not that King Bao Yueguang has no fighting power, but that ordinary people cannot exert his power.
Cao Jie drives the Red-haired Ghost and uses the Precious Moonlight, which has the effect of one plus one being greater than two.
The Demon King was caught off guard and was stabbed first. Facing the Red-haired Ghost who was fighting him in close combat with great momentum, he was not nervous at all. He turned his hand over, and somehow a copper hammer the size of a pumpkin appeared in his hand.
He held it with one hand and knocked it upwards. With a loud bang, the weapon condensed by moonlight was knocked in pieces.
But the red-haired ghost had four arms and four weapons. He knocked two of them in pieces, but the other two stabbed into his body solidly, leaving two huge holes.
Fortunately, this is the soul, otherwise Fan Rui would have died on the spot.
The two men crossed each other in the air again. The demon king looked back at the moon and shook his hand back. With a "whoosh", the bronze hammer appeared like a meteor and flew straight towards the red-haired ghost's back.
"hiss!"
The Liangshan heroes looked up at the night sky at the foot of the mountain and held their breath when they saw this thrilling scene.
"Liu Tang, be careful!" Song Jiang shouted anxiously.
But Liu Tang's real body was sitting cross-legged on the ground, so how could he hear what he said?
In an instant, the red-haired ghost's back seemed to be splashed with water.
It was the appearance of a layer of protective moonlight being hit by a copper hammer and splashing out.
"hiss!"
The red-haired ghost took a deep breath. If it weren't for the layer of moonlight protecting his body, he would have been beaten to death by this hammer.
The Devil King looked at him in amazement and smiled grimly: "You, you actually have such magical powers! This moonlight... is really good for defense!"
When he used this hammer technique with weapons, he killed countless heroes who were stronger than him. When he used his spiritual power to fight, he also sneaked attacked many practitioners. I didn't expect that today, after being hit by the hammer, he was safe and sound.
The red-haired ghost opened his two violent bloodshot eyes angrily, roared, and squeezed the four weapons in his hands into a ball, which turned into a huge saber. The murderous aura was ferocious, just like a ghost king who was rising to the sky...
