Chapter 44: Chapter 44: A Difficult Battle

After the Seven Evils Ghost Yin Banner is refined, the attack methods of the evil spirits within are often endless, leaving one unable to defend effectively.

Some Demon Cave demon cultivators even refine deadly poisons into these evil spirits while creating such Demon Treasures, further enhancing their strength with sinister methods.

"Humph!"

Surrounded by disciples of the Cyan Mountain Sect, the demon cultivator elder remained calm, flicking his sleeve to release a black flying shuttle, striking the Black Gold Celestial Net and holding it firmly mid-air, unable to advance any further for the moment.

Immediately, a burst of blood-colored light shield emerged on the demon cultivator elder, sparing no effort to use the Blood Demon Shield from the "Blood River Demonic Scripture," steadily blocking the flying swords of Lin Han, Zhang Nianchuan, and Lu Changfeng, neutralizing their attacks.

That wasn’t all, within the blink of an eye, the combat power demonstrated by the demon cultivator elder was already formidable, and his actions were decisive, far beyond what Lin Han, Zhang Nianchuan, and Song Minghui, these novice cultivators, could rival.

Magic light surged from beneath his feet as he launched his body technique towards Song Minghui, first sweeping the Seven Evils Ghost Yin Banner, summoning an evil ghost baring fangs and claws with a chilling, haunting demonic aura, opening its blood-drenched mouth to bite at Song Minghui’s pristine head.

If bitten, Song Minghui’s spirit essence would probably be torn from her body, leaving her with no chance of survival.

The seven evil ghosts within the Seven Evils Ghost Yin Banner have now reached late-stage Qi Cultivation. Their combined strength rivals a Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation Cultivator, already surpassing Lu Changfeng of the Eighth-Layer Qi Cultivation.

Moreover, the demon cultivator elder’s cultivation was not low, reaching the Seventh-Layer Qi Cultivation, surpassing Lin Han, Song Minghui, and Zhang Nianchuan in cultivation level.

In terms of strength, he was not inferior to Lu Changfeng’s group at all, and the demon cultivator’s methods were often ruthless and unpredictable, with many precedents of severely injuring the enemy even at the cost of self-harm when necessary.

Seeing the evil ghosts attacking viciously, their appearance grotesque and terrifying, sending a chill down one’s spine with their sharp, icy evil aura, Song Minghui panicked instantly.

"Get away!"

Instinctively shouting aloud, she swung her flying sword fiercely at the attacking evil ghost, trying to resist the terrifying blow, even forgetting to use spell techniques, relying purely on brute force.

Lu Ping, observing from the side, frowned, shaking his head slightly at Song Minghui’s combat display.

After all, she is still young, relying on this single strike could hardly withstand the onslaught of an evil ghost.

If the evil ghost were so easily dealt with, the demon cultivator elder wouldn’t have bothered refining the Demon Banner, better spending time enhancing his own cultivation instead.

"Ah!"

As expected, Song Minghui’s counterattack was not as she anticipated; with just a brief encounter, she felt a sharp pain in her hand, and her flying sword was sent flying by the tremendous impact, while her right shoulder was hit by the demonic aura from the evil ghost due to her inability to dodge, immediately drawing blood.

With a thud.

As the flying sword hit the ground, Song Minghui, in pain, fell to the ground, her face turning utterly pale.

A palm-sized black wound appeared on her right shoulder, exuding wisp after wisp of demonic aura, leaving her in unbearable pain.

Though the wound seemed non-lethal and would heal in about ten days or half a month with rest, it greatly affected Song Minghui’s subsequent combat ability, and if not treated properly, her life would indeed be in danger.

With Song Minghui’s magical power control lost, the Black Gold Celestial Net in mid-air dimmed instantly, falling into the hands of the demon cultivator elder along with the black flying shuttle.

"Senior Sister Song!"

Seeing Song Minghui being taken down with a single move, her combat power greatly diminished, and her Magical Treasure seized, Zhang Nianchuan’s face changed.

Fortunately, Lu Changfeng timely intervened, using the previously activated Divine Movement Talisman to transform himself into a flash of lightning, instantly appearing in front of Song Minghui, meeting the evil ghost continuing to attack her.

The single evil ghost, with combat strength around the Sixth-Layer Qi Cultivation, was no match for Lu Changfeng in a direct confrontation.

After exchanging only a few moves, the evil ghost was repelled by Lu Changfeng, retreating to hover around the demon banner under the sweep of the demon cultivator elder’s banner.

"Hehehe..."

The demon cultivator elder was not in a hurry to continue attacking, his gaze turning to Song Minghui, holding the Seven Evils Ghost Yin Banner in one hand, a sinister smile appearing as he clasped the Black Gold Celestial Net in the other.

"Can’t even keep hold of her own Magical Treasure, are current sect cultivators all this weak?"

Song Minghui braced her right shoulder, gritting her teeth to stand, her face quickly flushing red with both shame and anger. If she were a little girl, she would have burst into tears, unable to stay composed.

"Senior Sister Song, are you okay?"

Seeing Song Minghui’s complexion turning bad, Zhang Nianchuan hastily reacted, standing protectively by Song Minghui’s side, offering his hand in support.

Song Minghui shook her head, but her delicate body quivered uncontrollably from the pain, clenching her silver teeth tightly.

This was her first time suffering such a loss; if not for Lu Changfeng’s timely action, she would have surely perished under the evil ghost’s claws.

Lin Han also stepped beside Lu Changfeng at that moment, guarding Song Minghui behind him, the earlier fight making his heart pound with fright.

Since even Senior Sister Song was outmatched, his cultivation was not much better than hers, making him even less of a match for the demon cultivator elder.

"Filthy beast, cease your rampage!"

Conversely, Lu Changfeng wasn’t keen on wasting words, nor did he concern himself with Song Minghui’s injuries. If they didn’t seize the chance to slay the demon cultivator elder, everyone would soon perish.

Now was no time for idle chatter.

"A pack of rats, overestimating yourselves. Let’s see how many moves you can withstand from me."

The demon cultivator elder fully activated the Seven Evils Ghost Yin Banner, launching a fierce attack, first targeting Lu Changfeng.

Lu Changfeng wielded the Cyan Blade Sword, executing a profound mysterious body technique. Enhanced by the Divine Movement Talisman’s effects, he clashed head-on with the demon cultivator elder.

The seven evil ghosts, baring fangs and claws, coordinated with each other, while Lin Han and the others dodged, fighting with Lu Changfeng as they battled out the door, transitioning the battleground to the courtyard, engulfed in a dense, nauseating bloodthirsty aura.

Lu Ping was equally alarmed, as the demon cultivator elder’s strength exceeded expectations, owing to the successful refinement of the Seven Evils Ghost Yin Banner, greatly enhancing the evil cultivator’s combat power.

Lu Changfeng was not weak, and if he had confronted the demon cultivator elder before the Seven Evils Ghost Yin Banner was completed, he would have had a significant chance of victory.

However, human calculations cannot match divine intervention; by the time they found the demon cultivator elder, his Demon Treasure was already refined.

With the emergence of the seven evil ghosts, enough to rival a Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation Cultivator, facing Lu Changfeng, an Eighth-Layer Qi Cultivation cultivator with inadequate equipment, he was very likely to meet his end here.

Lu Ping couldn’t just watch passively; before long, he foresaw that Lu Changfeng would gradually fall behind, possibly never returning to the Cyan Mountain Sect again.

Despite having Lin Han and the others on one side, perhaps combining efforts could restrain the demon cultivator elder, but this was far from decisive.

Even Lu Changfeng found it difficult under the onslaught of seven evil ghosts, let alone Lin Han and the others, whose cultivation was significantly lower.

Poor equipment, insufficient realm, it was not something that could be compensated by mere numbers.
