Chapter 655 Just lie down here and rest!
In the Cave of Ten Thousand Ghosts, the wind howled, as if all the resentment and evil spirits in the world were gathered here. The red-clothed demon lord stood in the void, the bone staff in his hand flashing a dark light, his eyes were as cold as the abyss, and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Jiang Luo, is this all the strength you have? Do you dare to compete with me with the mere power of Heaven?" His voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from the depths of hell.
Jiang Luo was suspended in mid-air, holding the "Ghost Apocalypse Notebook" with both hands, his eyes were as cold as ice. He spoke slowly, his voice resounding through the world like a bell: "Red Demon Lord, you use evil magic to raise Qiongqi and summon thousands of ghosts to bring disaster to the underworld. Today, I will use the power of heaven to put an end to your sins!"
The red-robed demon lord sneered, swung his bone staff violently, and shouted, "All ghosts, come out, listen to my command!" As his voice fell, the yin energy around him suddenly intensified, and countless black ghosts emerged from the ground, pouncing on Jiang Luo with their fangs and claws bared. These ghosts exuded a strong resentment, as if they wanted to devour all living things.
Jiang Luo's eyes condensed, and he quickly formed seals with his hands, whispering: "Ghost Revelation Notes, open!" As his voice fell, the Ghost Revelation Notes suddenly opened, and golden runes flew out of the book, turning into chains, heading straight for the ghosts. At the same time, countless golden ghosts emerged from the pages, wrapped in the power of heaven, exuding a sacred and majestic aura.
"Heaven's will, the Ghost Emperor borrows souls! One hundred thousand ghost soldiers, make way for me! Break!" Jiang Luo's voice resounded through the world like thunder. One hundred thousand golden ghosts surged out like a tide, instantly drowning the black ghosts summoned by the Red Demon Lord. Golden runes danced in the air, purifying those black ghosts one by one, turning them into black smoke and dissipating.
The red-robed demon lord's expression suddenly changed, with a trace of disbelief in his eyes: "This... this is impossible! You can actually summon 100,000 ghosts!"
Jiang Luo smiled coldly, his eyes like knives: "Red Demon Lord, do you think you are the only one who knows how to summon all ghosts? Your little tricks are nothing in front of the Ghost Lord! Today, I will let you see what the real Lord of All Ghosts is!"
The red-robed demon lord was intimidated by Jiang Luo's aura, but he quickly regained his weird smile: "Interesting, interesting! But do you think you can beat me like this?" He swung his bone staff violently, and the black Lycoris radiata petals flew like sharp blades, heading straight for Jiang Luo.
Jiang Luo formed seals with his hands. His voice had become calm as usual. He just slowly said, "Power of Heaven. Shield!" A golden light burst out from his hands and turned into a shield in front of him. The petals of the red spider lily hit the shield, making a harsh roar. Cracks appeared on the surface of the shield, but it did not break.
Seeing this, Fan Wujiu and the others quickly joined the battle. Fan Wujiu tightly grasped the Aoxue Linghan Sword, and his body moved like lightning, instantly approaching the Red-robed Demon Lord, with the sword tip igniting a fierce cold light.
Yuan Haokun's Qilin arm burst out with an ochre-colored light, and he punched the ground. The ground cracked instantly, and a huge crack went straight to the feet of the Red Demon Lord.
Lin Shishuang's magic crossbow fired several arrows, each of which flew out like lightning, leaving the Red Demon Lord no chance to breathe.
The Red Demon Lord was forced to retreat again and again by the crowd's attack, and his face gradually became ferocious. He swung his bone staff violently, and the black Yin Qi surged like a tide, trying to resist the attack of the crowd. But Jiang Luo's 100,000 ghosts followed him like a shadow, and the golden runes flew in the air, purifying his Yin Qi one by one.
"Red-robed Demon Lord, your evil magic is just this good! Do you want to compete again? I have only summoned a part of the ghost soldiers!" Jiang Luo's voice resounded through the heavens and the earth like thunder.
He formed seals with his hands again and whispered, "The power of Heaven!" An even more dazzling golden light burst out from his hands and headed straight for the Red Demon Lord.
The Red Demon Lord was enveloped by golden light, and he let out a shrill scream. His body gradually turned into black smoke and dissipated into the air. However, just when everyone thought the battle was over, the Red Demon Lord's voice came from the darkness again: "Jiang Luo, do you think you can kill me like this? Don't forget, arrogance is the biggest taboo for cultivators!"
His figure slowly walked out from the shadows, his face as pale as paper, his eyes as red as blood, and a strange smile on the corner of his mouth: "I will remember today's revenge. The next time we see each other, it will be the day of your death!"
Before he finished speaking, his figure turned into a puff of black smoke and instantly disappeared into the depths of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Cave. Jiang Luo's eyes fixed, and he whispered, "He ran away."
Fan Wujiu clenched his sword and asked coldly, "Chase?"
Jiang Luo shook his head, with a trace of fatigue in his eyes: "No need. He has been seriously injured and will not be able to cause trouble in the short term. Right now, we need to rest. You are all seriously injured, not to mention the situation in the underworld, we still need to deal with it properly."
Fan Wujiu immediately stepped forward to support Jiang Luo, but Jiang Luo had just consumed too much spiritual energy and his body was already in an extremely weak state. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted in Fan Wujiu's arms.
The four team members gathered around anxiously, shouting, "Boss!"
"How are you, boss?"
"Boss, what's wrong with you?"
Fan Wujiu said: "He needs to recuperate in seclusion, let's go back to Ghost Town as soon as possible!"
Yuan Haokun nodded, the earthy yellow light on the Qilin arm flickered slightly, and he shouted, "Earth Walking Technique!" A passage instantly opened up in the ground, leading directly to the ghost town. Lin Shishuang quickly alerted the surroundings, and the divine crossbow in his hand was always aimed at the dark corner to prevent the red-clothed demon lord from suddenly attacking.
Xiao Shuai walked in the middle of the team, quickly formed seals with his hands, and opened a protective shield. A faint silver-blue light enveloped everyone, completely concealing their breath and preventing them from being detected by the evil creatures in the Cave of Ten Thousand Ghosts.
The group quickly entered the underground passage, and the surrounding soil and rocks quickly closed under Yuan Haokun's control, as if no one had ever passed by. The speed of the underground technique was extremely fast, and everyone felt that in a flash, they had returned to the territory of the ghost town.
The barrier of the ghost town sensed Jiang Luo's breath and automatically opened an entrance. Fan Wujiu walked in quickly with Jiang Luo in his arms and headed straight for the meditation room in the center of the ghost town. The meditation room was filled with rich spiritual energy. It was where Jiang Luo usually practiced in seclusion, and it was also the best place to restore his spiritual power.
After placing Jiang Luo on the jade bed in the meditation room, Fan Wujiu turned to everyone and said, "Xiao Luo needs to rest. We will take turns to guard him. We must not let anyone disturb him."
Yuan Haokun nodded: "I will go to the outer perimeter of the ghost town to set up a defensive formation to prevent any accidents."
Lin Shishuang tightly grasped the divine crossbow: "I will be on guard outside the meditation room to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Xiao Shuai took out a pill from his sleeve and handed it to Fan Wujiu: "This is Hui Yuan Pill, it can speed up the recovery of spiritual power. When the boss wakes up, let him take it."
As an auxiliary nurse, he had learned a lot of alchemy skills from Xia Kucao before, and now they can be put to good use.
Fan Wujiu took the pill and nodded, saying, "Okay, each of you do your job. I'll go check the defensive barrier of the ghost town to make sure the evil creatures in the Ten Thousand Ghosts Cave don't take the opportunity to invade."
Everyone went their separate ways. Although the atmosphere in the ghost town was tense, it was in good order. In the meditation room, Jiang Luo lay quietly on the jade bed, his face as pale as paper, but his breathing gradually became steady. Fan Wujiu sat beside him, looking at him solemnly, and murmured in a low voice: "Jinglin, you must recover as soon as possible. The ghost town cannot be without you."
At the same time, in the depths of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Cave, the figure of the Red Demon Lord slowly gathered. His face was even paler than before, with a strange smile on his lips: "Jiang Luo, do you think this is the end? No, this is just the beginning. When I recover my strength, it will be the end of you and those beasts! You dare to destroy my hard work for hundreds of years, and dare to hurt my Qiongqi! If I don't take revenge, I will be unworthy of being a human being!"
His voice echoed in the dark cave, like a whisper from hell. The Red Demon Lord slowly raised his bone staff and whispered, "All ghosts, follow me for revenge!"
As his voice fell, the surrounding Yin Qi gathered again, and countless black ghosts emerged from the ground, surrounding him and making low roars. The figure of the Red Demon Lord gradually disappeared into the darkness, as if he had merged with the Ten Thousand Ghosts Cave, leaving only a cold laugh.
In the ghost town, Jiang Luo's fingers moved slightly, and there seemed to be a sign of awakening. Seeing this, Fan Wujiu's eyes flashed with joy, and he called out in a low voice: "Xiao Luo, are you awake?"
Jiang Luo slowly opened his eyes, with a hint of fatigue in his eyes, but more of determination: "I'm fine, I just consumed too much spiritual energy. Where is the Red Demon Lord?"
Fan Wujiu said in a deep voice: "He escaped, but he won't be able to cause any more trouble in the short term. We have already strengthened the defense of Ghost Town and will never give him a chance to take advantage of us."
Jiang Luo nodded and managed to stand up: "No, the Red Demon Lord will not give up. We must find his hiding place as soon as possible and put an end to his threat once and for all."
Fan Wujiu clenched his fists and said firmly, "Alright, alright, just rest and let us take care of the rest. When you recover, we'll act together. You're injured like this, why are you still thinking about these things? Can't you just take care of your own body first?"
Jiang Luo took a deep breath, his eyes full of helplessness: "Okay, but we can't give him too much time. The strength of the Red Demon Lord is far beyond our expectations. If we let him recover, the consequences will be disastrous."
At this moment, the door of the meditation room was pushed open, and Xiao Shuai walked in with a scroll in his hand: "Boss, I found some clues about the Red Demon Lord. He may be an evil cultivator who was sealed from ancient times and regained his freedom due to the revival of the Yin energy in the Ten Thousand Ghosts Cave."
Jiang Luo took the scroll, glanced through it quickly, and frowned: "As expected, his strength and identity are extraordinary. We must find him before he fully recovers, otherwise the underworld will never have peace."
Fan Wujiu said in a deep voice: "You rest assured and I will gather the four teams to make a plan."
Jiang Luo was about to stand up when Fan Wujiu pushed him back: "I told you, I'll take care of the rest, you just lie here and rest! Do you hear me?"
Xiao Shuai thought to himself that Third Brother Fan still looked like a domineering president, but the boss really needed some coercion since he was like this.
