Chapter 94: The Ghost Sculptor Sculpts His Own Transformation (8000, Monthly Ticket Requested, Happy National Day)

This scene, this situation, is already quite obvious.

Yun Zihai picked up the brush and was ready to take action.

But at this moment, Xu Bai stopped him and told him not to act for the time being.

"This bare area, they seem not to see us, don't you think it's strange?"

The surrounding trees were cut down, leaving only tree stumps standing in the soil. In this scene, the visible range is extremely high, but the other party seems not to see them.

It's very abnormal.

Yun Zihai put down the brush in his hand and fell into deep thought.

"This is a trick."

Xu Bai nodded and said: "Or it can be said that the formation changes, which is enough to deceive people who don't understand this line."

"Do you understand?" Qingxue said strangely.

Xu Bai said it with confidence just now, and she was puzzled. In her opinion, Xu Bai should be a warrior.

"I know a little bit." Xu Bai said modestly.

The four-step method is not just a kind of body method, but also combines the four Xun formations. The combination of the two complements each other and produces a strong effect, reaching the third level.

In layman's terms, Xu Bai still knows a little about the formation.

As the saying goes, learn from one thing and apply it to other things.

"Xu Bai, you are talented and powerful. Your talent in martial arts is far beyond that of ordinary people. I don't recommend you to learn other things." Qingxue reminded.

Out of kindness, she still felt that this kind of thing should be explained. After all, many people think they are geniuses, so they choose to practice in multiple ways together, but they end up accomplishing nothing.

This kind of thing is very common in history, even many.

Although there are many examples in front of us, there are always some geniuses who are arrogant and think they can control it, so they ignore others' dissuasion and force themselves to practice more.

The result is that they were slapped in the face. After one attempt after another, this conclusion finally came down.

The time cost of multiple cultivations is far greater than that of cultivating a single ability. For the Zhou family, their main focus is still on martial arts.

If all are taken into consideration, the final result will be lost in the crowd.

Therefore, Qingxue felt that she needed to remind him, and did not want to see Xu Bai go down that old path.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on." Xu Bai nodded and said.

After saying this, he slowly raised his feet and walked towards the group of people.

"Brother Xu, be careful." Yun Zihai said.

Xu Bai did not answer, but focused on the bare space in front of him.

When he stepped into a range, everything in front of him became particularly magical.

The surrounding air began to distort constantly, as if he was trapped in a hallucinogenic place, swaying in front of his eyes all the time, trying to guide his thinking.

Xu Bai closed his eyes and his feet began to move irregularly.

With every step, the surrounding air twisted more violently, and at the same time, a faint golden light emerged from his feet.

The traction of the true energy, combined with the four-step method, is destroying the formation from different directions.

From the outside, in the eyes of Yun Zihai and others, Xu Bai did not have any abnormality.

They just saw Xu Bai walking irregularly. As for the distorted air, they could not see it at all because they did not step into the range of the formation.

According to this rule, Xu Bai walked for about an incense stick of time before everything in front of him returned to normal.

The distorted air disappeared, and the feeling that was misleading him all the time also disappeared, but instead, the surrounding scenery changed.

The tree stumps on the ground seemed to have never appeared and disappeared in front of everyone. Then, trees suddenly appeared one by one, and this open space became a new forest.

The forest was dense and looked very quiet under the moonlight.

Due to the sudden appearance of the forest, the man in black in front of him disappeared.

Obviously, it was indeed a trick.

"Broken." Xu Bai opened his eyes and said to Yun Zihai and others.

Yun Zihai and Qingxue looked at each other and prepared to walk towards the woods.

Now that the formation has been broken, it is time to find their target.

"Wait, don't go in yet." Zhou Qing has not moved. He stared at the woods in front of him. After a long while, he slowly spoke.

Yun Zihai and Qingxue stopped just as they were about to go. Xu Bai, who was standing in front of the woods, also frowned. Their eyes were focused on Zhou Qing.

Since everyone has temporarily formed a team, they must respect everyone's opinions. Now Zhou Qing is obviously busy, and they are not in a hurry.

"There are mechanisms." Zhou Qing said seriously.

As a gravedigger, Zhou Qing chose the business he is most interested in.

Wufu is his major, but in the business of gravedigger, he is most interested in the mechanism.

In those terrifying tombs, the mechanisms are one after another, which is a huge challenge for gravediggers.

As the saying goes, learn from one thing and apply it to other situations. Zhou Qing can see the door in the mechanism, even if it is not in the tomb.

When the formation in front of him was broken by Xu Bai, Zhou Qing quickly found something wrong.

He hadn't noticed the formation blocking him just now, but now that he had noticed it, he certainly couldn't let Xu Bai and the others move forward blindly.

No matter how strong they are, people who travel the world have to guard against some dirty tricks.

For example, poison, beauty, or a lot of traps.

There are countless examples of people in the martial arts world being killed by despicable tricks, which has alerted many people.

"Everyone, follow me. I will lead the way for you." Zhou Qing said.

Xu Bai said, "Okay."

Since Xu Bai had already agreed, Yun Zihai and Qing Xue didn't say anything. They lined up and walked behind Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing didn't hesitate. As the leader, he walked into the woods first.

Before he took two steps, he stopped and tapped the tree next to him.

A translucent silk thread bounced up from the ground. If you can't see it clearly, you will definitely trip and fall to the ground.

Zhou Qing squatted down and gently moved the silk thread. Then, from the top of the woods, a huge iron plate fell down. The iron plate was full of sharp iron spikes.

On the iron spikes, there was a color that didn't belong to metal. From Xu Bai's current perspective, it was poisonous.

"Huh..." Zhou Qing let out a long breath and turned his head and said, "Let's continue."

Everyone nodded and continued to follow behind him.

Next, they saw countless traps along the way, but they were all resolved by Zhou Qing one by one.

In fact, these traps did not pose a threat to Xu Bai. As long as the Vajra Heart Demon Body was activated, the traps would be isolated at present.

However, it was unknown whether it would have any effect on others.

With Zhou Qing exploring the way ahead, they walked very steadily. After walking for about an incense stick of time, the forest in front finally opened up, giving a feeling of a new spring after a dark period.

This time it was a real open space. Although the open space was not large, there were more than a dozen men in black standing in the middle of the open space.

All the men in black had their faces covered, so their faces could not be seen clearly, but they stood in the middle, obviously not wanting Xu Bai and the others to pass.

"Kill them."

Among the men in black, one was obviously the leader and spoke first.

There was no communication, no polite words, and the meeting was about to start.

The men in black rushed over without hesitation, with a fierce momentum.

And Xu Bai saw the clues of their steps and formation.

"Formation, or a formation for four people in a group." Xu Bai saw it at a glance, pulled out his ghost-head knife, and rushed over directly, with bursts of black light rising from his body.

This group of black-clothed men were divided into four parts, and they surrounded and killed the four of them.

Each of them was strong, and they also had their own special formation.

Xu Bai and others were in a state of fighting.

When Xu Bai stepped out and rushed to the four black-clothed men at the first time, the scenery in front of him suddenly changed.

The ground moved, and it had changed its direction in the blink of an eye.

"It's a mechanism!"

The three words came from Zhou Qing's voice, but in the blink of an eye, Zhou Qing's voice was getting farther and farther away, and gradually disappeared.

Xu Bai was very sure that in that moment just now, he moved a long distance, as if the soil under his feet had undergone a huge change.

"The art of the mechanism is so wonderful, it seems that I have to get a copy in the future." He thought to himself.

But obviously, now is not the time to think about these things. The wind in his ears became more intense, and the four people had already attacked him together.

The four men stepped on a strange formation, and they cooperated with each other in a subtle way, which was very powerful.

"Boy, you dare to come to us at this time, do you really think we dare not kill you?" One of the men in black made a disdainful voice.

They all recognized Xu Bai. After all, the Eighth Prince had sent people to assassinate him. If the Eighth Prince had not said that there was no need to assassinate him again, they might have fought with Xu Bai.

As for the assassination of Xu Bai, their idea was very simple, that is, the people sent out before were all straw bags.

Even if it was the so-called Thousand Faces Poison King, once his poison was restrained, the others would be mediocre.

But the four of them were different. Each of them was a real seventh-grade realm.

When the four of them merged into one, with the formation bonus, even the sixth-grade had to avoid its edge.

Killing the Jianghu man in front of him was simply easy.

Thinking of this, the attack had arrived.

These four people were all warriors, but one of them had studied the formation as a minor.

The dozen or so men in black were divided into four groups, and they were also accompanied by people who studied formations.

Due to the bonus of the formation, their power had doubled a lot when they attacked.

However...

I have to say that sometimes people are too confident, which is not a good thing.

Xu Bai didn't even use the ghost-head knife, and a black light rose from his body, blocking all the attacks of the four people.

There were waves of metal clashing sounds, and the four people felt that they were hit by a strong recoil force, and they all took a step back.

"His defense is very strong, everyone be careful, and slowly use the formation to grind him." The man in black said to the three companions around him.

As soon as the voice fell, Xu Bai's voice came.

"How is the strength of the four of you compared to the Thousand-Faced Poison King?" Xu Bai said mysteriously.

"What do you mean?" The man in black frowned.

"Your formation can improve attack, defense, and speed, allowing you to have the possibility of defeating the strong with the weak, but your inner qualities remain the same." Xu Bai reached out and fumbled in the belt around his waist, and soon found a small porcelain bottle.

The man in black had a bad feeling when he saw Xu Bai's action, but the next moment it was too late.

Xu Bai opened the bottle cap and raised a cloud of powder.

Then, under the influence of his true energy, he pulled out the ghost-head knife from his waist and slashed at the four men fiercely.

This was a slash in mid-air, but due to the blessing of his true energy, a strong gust of wind was generated, sweeping the powder in front of him towards the four men in black.

The formation combined with their own strength could prevent and dodge, but this was powder, and the air contained powder. It was impossible to dodge the air, right?

At the beginning, the Thousand-Faced Poison King specifically chose a windy day to prepare for action, which shows the importance of wind.

The poison was affected by the wind and its power increased sharply.

In an instant, the powder of the Hundred Fierce Poison had already stuck to the men in black.

In less than a breath, the four men in black suddenly felt a severe pain in their skin, which was poured into their bodies from the skin and rushed into their bodies.

They could no longer control themselves and rolled on the ground, screaming as they rolled.

The Hundred Fierce Poison, the seventh grade will kill if touched.

This is a trick from the full-level Hundred Poisons True Solution, not a half-hearted poison like the Thousand-Faced Poison King.

The pain followed like a shadow, and then the group of black-clothed men died completely without leaving any breath.

There was blood on the face of the corpse, which seeped through the black cloth on the face and wet a large area.

Xu Bai didn't want to use any Dou Zhuan Xing Yi. He had to keep the true energy in his kidneys for emergency use. Now it seems that this Hundred Poisons is the best way to break the situation.

After doing all this, the surroundings fell into silence again.

Xu Bai raised his head and looked at the moonlight in the sky.

After the operation just now, they had been separated, and in the woods, he could no longer tell what direction they were in.

After all, in the dense woods, it is the easiest place for a person to get lost, and the sense of direction here will be seriously weakened.

But... it's not a big problem.

When a person is lost in the wild, as long as he finds a reference, it is easy to get out.

Before hitting this trap, Xu Bai had already determined his position from the moon in the sky. Now he was a little east of the full moon, so he just had to walk back to his original position.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai pulled out his ghost-head knife, identified the direction, and walked in a straight line in the simplest and most direct way.

As long as there were trees blocking his way, he would cut them down with one knife.

Along the way, there were broken trees everywhere, and Xu Bai had cut a path.

…

On the other side.

Yun Zihai, Qingxue, and Zhou Qing were also isolated and also caught in the battle.

The easiest and easiest way to break the situation was Yun Zihai.

After all, he was a true sixth-grade master. After easily breaking the formation, he was also a smart man, and rushed to his original position in the same way as Xu Bai.

In addition to Yun Zihai, Zhou Qing was not very difficult either.

Layers of white mist appeared around Zhou Qing, blocking all the surrounding sights at the same time.

Tengyun Hand, the martial arts of the Zhou family, is still very insidious.

This kind of martial arts is very serious about blocking the senses. It is not a hard-line martial arts at all. Instead, it hits people by surprise.

Senses are not just vision, but also hearing and touch.

In these layers of white fog, the four people on the opposite side have no place to use their skills.

Their senses are blocked, and they don’t even know where the other party is, and the power of the formation is wasted.

Then, bursts of sound came from the white fog. When the white fog slowly dissipated, the four men in black had become corpses.

Zhou Qing wiped the cold sweat from his head, looked at the deep wound on his arm, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I almost fell here, fortunately I restrained you."

Thinking of this, he quickly took out a medicine bottle from his arms and sprinkled the medicine on the wound.

The bleeding stopped, and the wound was slowly healing. This bottle of medicine is much better than Yinyi's medicine.

After doing all this, he tore a piece of cloth from the hem of his clothes and tied up the wound to prevent the possibility of bursting.

Next, he used a method similar to Xu Bai's, using the full moon in the sky as a positioning and rushing towards the original position.

The three people were no longer in danger, except Qingxue.

Qingxue was already in danger.

The four black-clothed men in front of him, after using that formation, were able to fight against a sixth-grade master, while Qingxue was only a seventh-grade master.

She did not have the high strength of Xu Bai and Yun Zihai, nor did she have the ability to specifically restrain the formation like Zhou Qing, she just fought hard.

But it was precisely because of this hard-fighting form that made her more and more dangerous.

The battle fell into a stalemate, and Qingxue held a pair of silver thorns and was always defending.

At first she could still attack, but then, as time went on, she was just defending.

But blindly defending is the beginning of falling into a disadvantage, and once a mistake is made, it will be irreparable.

Cold sweat appeared on Qingxue's forehead.

Just now there was a moment of trance, and she almost fell into the opponent's trap. If she hadn't reacted quickly and turned around in time, I'm afraid she would be a corpse now.

"If this continues, I will really be buried here." Qingxue lowered her head and looked at the silver thorn in her left hand.

She had a pair of silver thorns, one in each hand.

The thorn technique she learned was from the royal family.

But few people know that this thorn technique has a unique skill.

"I will just use one." Qingxue thought.

In the current situation, there is really no question of whether she is willing to give it up or not. The most important thing is to stay alive.

Thinking of this, Qingxue took a step back to avoid the opponent's attack, and then raised the silver thorn in her left hand and rotated her wrist at the same time.

As she rotated her wrist, the silver thorn in her left hand suddenly burst, and countless silver needles as fine as cow hair shot out like flowers scattered by a fairy.

This pair of silver thorns is actually made of silver needles.

The sky is full of cow hair silver needles.

The four black men who were attacking hurriedly defended.

But there were too many needles. In just a moment, the four black men were pierced by the cow hair silver needles and fell to the ground.

Qingxue breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the silver needles on the ground, and smiled bitterly.

If the silver thorns are used, they cannot be recovered. Now she only has one silver thorn left.

In fact, before coming here, when she encountered the assassination of the Yun family, she was ready to use this trick, but later she thought about it and let it go.

Because the assassin from the Yun family at that time was proficient in the use of hidden weapons, and after the silver thorns rotated, they turned into silver needles, which were also fired in a hidden weapon method, but the carrier was changed to a mechanism.

At that time, she didn't know whether she could deal with it, so she just tried to escape first. Unexpectedly, she succeeded in escaping, so she didn't use this trick.

Now it seems that this trick is still successful.

"I have to go find them. If they are scattered like this, they will definitely be defeated one by one." Qingxue said in her heart.

Thinking of this, she raised her head, looked at the circle in the sky, and rushed to the original position with the full moon as a reference.

She didn't have Xu Bai's destructive power, so when passing by some obstacles, she could only choose to bypass them to save physical energy.

But fortunately, there was a full moon in the sky as a reference, and the distance to the destination was getting closer and closer.

The four people were rushing towards the original position, and in an open space not far from the four of them, a man in black was standing there with his eyes closed.

In front of the man in black, there was a clay pot with yellow soil in it.

The clay pot was very tall, about one meter high.

"They are all dead." The ghost sculptor looked at the clay in the bamboo basket and sighed, "They died well."

Inexplicable words came out of his mouth, and he didn't see any movement, just stretched out his hands and took out the clay in the clay pot.

The clay seemed to come alive in his hands, and as he kept kneading it, sixteen little people appeared on the ground in a blink of an eye.

These little people were kneaded very roughly, and they didn't even have facial features. If they were not human-like in form, they might not be distinguished.

The ghost sculptor looked at the clay figures on the ground, stood up, bowed in one direction, and said: "Your Highness the Eighth Prince, I will repay you for your kindness today. If you are dead, I hope that if you can remember it in the future, you can burn a stick of incense for me."

Not far away, the Eighth Prince and the Thousand-Faced Fox looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

"If you die, and my plan succeeds, I will make you a hero of history."

"That would be the best." The ghost sculptor said, "I'll leave my daughter to the care of the Eighth Prince."

The Eighth Prince continued to nod, indicating that there was no problem.

After the ghost sculptor got the answer, he said no more, took the clay pot and sixteen clay figurines in front of him, and walked towards Xu Bai and the others.

When he walked farther and farther, until his figure disappeared, the Thousand Faces Fox couldn't help but chuckle.

"Is there anything funny about this?" The Eighth Prince frowned.

"I'm just laughing. He was kept in the dark by you until the end." The Thousand Faces Fox smiled and said, "It was you who killed his whole family that day, and it was you who saved his daughter. What a plan, in exchange for a loyal person, it's a pity that he still doesn't know that his daughter has already entered the coffin."

"This is the true art of the emperor. If you are not cruel, how can you succeed." The Eighth Prince said calmly.

"What a great emperor's skill. I originally thought that the emperor was too cruel to you royal family members, but at least he still cared about the people. You, after becoming the emperor, I'm afraid that all the people will suffer with you." Qianmianhu's tone was full of sarcasm.

"Isn't this exactly what you monsters want?" The Eighth Prince also sneered.

Qianmianhu didn't want to say more here, so he quickly asked him to prepare.

The Eighth Prince found Qianmianhu not arguing with him and felt particularly bored. He looked up at the full moon in the sky and waited for the time to come.

...

In the woods.

Xu Bai met with the other three people. After making sure that no one was injured and only Zhou Qing was injured, he felt a little relieved.

Especially when he saw that there was only a silver thorn left on Qingxue's waist, he looked like you really have a back-up plan.

"Let's keep moving forward." Qingxue stretched out her white and slender fingers and rubbed her forehead.

She also understood Xu Bai's personality. Sometimes he would seem to be out of touch, so she didn't want to drift off the topic at this time.

Xu Bai did not chat, he just teased. After hearing Qingxue's reply, he looked at the woods ahead.

"It should not be far away, right?"

This sentence was said to Yun Zihai.

Yun Zihai recalled the place described in the history of Sheng County, pointed to the front, and said: "It is in this direction. We will reach our destination in about half an incense stick of time."

"Then let's go. When we find that guy, we must let him see how powerful we are." Xu Bai retracted his gaze and prepared to move in that direction.

But at this moment, a series of sounds rang out around.

"Hua...Hua...Hua..."

The sound came from all directions, as if someone was walking in the woods, causing friction.

"Be careful." Xu Bai put his hand on the handle of the ghost-head knife and narrowed his eyes.

Yun Zihai and others did not hesitate, and they all took a defensive posture and looked around.

The strange sound only sounded for a moment, and after a while, the sound stopped, and the person who made the sound appeared in front of them.

Sixteen men in black, no more, no less, were the ones who had fought with them separately before.

These men in black had no breath of life and were all corpses, but they still retained human movements.

On their necks, there was a clay man hanging, pierced by a red line, swaying left and right as they walked.

After the men in black appeared, they stopped where they were and surrounded the four of them.

After a while, a voice sounded.

"You may not be able to leave."

The ghost sculptor walked out of the darkness with a clay pot.

At this moment, the ghost sculptor had changed his appearance.

He was no longer clean, but a thick layer of mud floated on his body. The clay pot in his hand was empty, and the soil inside was gone.

"Ghost Sculptor!" Yun Zihai frowned when he saw the mud and thought of the identity of the man in front of him.

"Pah!"

The ghost sculptor didn't even want to say a word. He raised the clay pot in his hand and smashed it hard on the ground with a snap.

With the sound of shattering, the clay pot broke into pieces and exploded on the ground.

At this time, the bodies of the people in black moved.

The clay figures hanging around their necks were melting.

The melted clay figures merged into the bodies of the corpses and wrapped the chests of the corpses.

In just a moment, a thick layer of mud floated on the position of their hearts.

A gloomy breath came from the corpses, which made people shudder.

"Catch the thief first!"

Xu Bai would not wait for the opponent's big move to swing. He reached into the purse, grabbed a handful of copper coins, and used the method of maple leaves like rain.

The copper coins were wrapped in black light and directly pierced the ghost sculptor's body.

Blood flowed down and flowed on the mud on his body.

The next moment, Xu Bai took two steps forward and cut off the ghost sculptor's head with one knife.

Everything happened too fast. In a flash, the ghost sculptor fell to the ground, without a breath of life.

The headless body was bleeding, and the head was rolling with a strange smile on his face.

It was fast and easy.

But it happened too easily, making Xu Bai frown, feeling that something was wrong.

Everything has a sequence and a clear hierarchy.

This man appeared later than the group of black-clothed men at the beginning, and was obviously stronger, but now his head was easily chopped off. All this was too abnormal.

Sure enough, he just had this idea, and the headless body on the ground began to move.

The blood and soil mixed together and separated from the headless body, as if there was life surging on the ground.

Then, the bodies of the black-clothed men also began to move, but they did not attack Xu Bai and others, but collided with each other.

After the initial changes, the bodies of the group of black-clothed men became particularly fragile, like ceramics.

After a violent collision, a bunch of mud came out from the broken place, and then it seemed to have life, fused together, and rushed towards the mud on the headless body.

All this happened too quickly, from the beginning of the movement to the fusion, it took less than a breath.

In a blink of an eye, a huge clay sculpture three meters tall appeared.

"Be careful, the ghost sculptor's method of exchanging lives, before he runs out of mud, he will keep killing the life in front of him." Yun Zihai shouted.

He read a lot of books and understood more, so he naturally knew what was happening in front of him.

The so-called method of exchanging lives is to drag the enemy into death when facing a desperate situation.

The ghost sculptor is dead.

But he lives in another way, which is the secret method of the ghost sculptor.

This secret method is extremely rare.

Except when it is really a matter of life and death, and there is no chance to escape, the ghost sculptor will use this secret method and die with the enemy.

"We should die first when we meet, right?" Xu Bai smacked his lips and said, "It seems he is quite loyal."

When the three-meter-tall enemy in front of him took shape, a huge pressure came to crush everyone, like a tidal wave, making people feel heavy in their hearts.

This is a clay figure that has merged all the black-clothed men, and even merged the strength of the ghost sculptor before his death.

At this moment, the strength of this clay figure is rising at an extremely terrifying speed.

Ninth grade... eighth grade... seventh grade...sixth grade!

Sixth grade is the peak.

This is the real peak strength of the sixth grade, not relying on the so-called formation, which is randomly made up.

"Everyone, don't hide anything anymore, you must do your best." Yun Zihai said.

The peak of the sixth grade, even Yun Zihai, who is the sixth grade strength, felt a huge pressure sweeping over.

Yun Zihai threw the book in his hand into the air, and the pages circled around him.

Qingxue pulled out the silver thorn and was on guard.

Zhou Qing raised his hands, and clouds and mists surrounded him.

Xu Bai circulated the true energy in his body, black light emerged from his body, and the Vajra Heart Demon Body was stimulated to the extreme.

He looked around and said slowly: "Go!"
