Chapter 388: On the Verge of Death

ryone understood the Daoist's final trump card, and a look of profound astonishment appeared on their already pale faces.Even Dao Er and Wu Xingzi were the same!Nine Clan Dao Seal!At first, when Dao E...Although the apparition lacked intelligence and any change in facial expression, when Ginger Cloud saw it walking straight towards him without hesitation, he knew he had succeeded.

Even if it isn't ghost qi, dead air is bound to have similarities with it, being able to attract yin spirits!

However, the level of death qi that I am currently releasing is far too thin to travel very far.

Of course, it also can't allow more undead to sense it.

It seems like we need to be even more thorough this time, but there are a few things we need to do first!

After slaying the ghostly apparition, Jiang Yun retrieved nine spirit stones and within a three-zhang radius around himself, he set up the first formation of the Jiuxue Lianhuan Array.

Because the process of releasing death qi would leave one powerless in combat, and if a large number of ghosts were to be attracted, the safety of the three of them would need to be ensured first.

After the formation was set, Jiang Yun told Tang Yi and Lu You Rong by voice transmission how to enter and exit the formation.

Then, he began relentlessly weakening his life force with power.

As the flames of life grew weaker, the deathly aura emanating from Ginger Cloud's body intensified.

As for himself, his breath naturally grew weaker and weaker.

His life force, which was once far greater than that of others, was disappearing at a visible rate.

Seeing this scene, Bai Ze couldn't help but feel moved again.

To have met Jiangyun and decided to help him, whether it was my good fortune or misfortune, I don't know.

Ginger Cloud's decisiveness and boldness, especially that ruthlessness, were not only directed at others but also at herself to an extreme degree. This is something that the vast majority of cultivators lack.

The path of monasticism is to go against the natural order, to fight heaven and earth.

A fearful person will never achieve anything. Only someone like Ginger Cloud, who possesses these traits, can go further down this path.

But he was also worried that one day, Jiang Yun might go too far and turn into a ghost directly against him...

Just as the miasma of Jiang Yun's death began to grow thicker, Tang Yi and Lu Yourong, who were searching for the ghost in two different directions respectively, couldn't help but stop.

Because both of them could clearly see, all around them, suddenly appeared one after another ghostly figures.

To such an extent that they didn't know where these ghosts had been hiding beforehand, as if they had emerged from the ground.

And among these ghosts, there are no longer only human figures, but also some demonic figures.

These specters were incredibly fast, some running on the ground while others flew through the air. They charged towards the two of them relentlessly.

Although the appearance of the ghosts was rather strange, it was a good thing. The two didn't have time to consider it further and immediately turned around, rushing back towards Jiang Yun's location.

But when they saw Jiang Yun's state, both of them were taken aback.

At this moment, Ginger Cloud's face was as pale as paper, and her breath was weak like a wisp of smoke.

Although they were not ghosts, they could clearly feel the heavy aura of death emanating from Jiang Yun's body as he sat cross-legged.

Tang Yi took a stride and rushed to Jiang Yan's side, anxiously calling out: "Senior Brother Jiang, what's wrong Did enemies come"

As he spoke, a heap of vials and bottles appeared in his hand. He rummaged through them frantically, taking out various kinds of pills and preparing to give them to Jiang Yun.

Lu Yourong's expression also tightened, his eyes opened again, and he looked around.

In their estimation, since the two of them had only left for a short time, Ginger Cloud becoming like this was definitely due to a powerful enemy appearing and inflicting heavy damage on her.

However, when Lu Yourong's gaze swept across the surroundings, besides seeing the black death qi emanating from Jiang Yun's body, which was as thick as rolling smoke, he couldn't see anything else.

Even, Ginger Cloud's body didn't even have a single wound!

At this time, Jiang Yun also strained to open his tightly closed eyes and said in a very weak voice: "I'm fine, I'm releasing the death qi!"

A simple sentence, like it had cost Jiang Yun all his strength, forced him to close his eyes again.

While Tang Yi and the other looked at each other, their faces full of confusion, they couldn't understand a word of what Jiang Yun said.

Then Lu Yourong suddenly pointed to the large number of ghosts that had appeared before their eyes and said, "I understand. Brother Jiang found a way to attract ghosts, using death energy!"

Tang Yi naturally understood, but the more he understood, the more their eyes looking at Jiang Yun were filled with admiration.

Although they couldn't see Jiang Yun's life fire, they could sense that he wasn't using any magic techniques. Instead, he was forcefully extinguishing his own life force.

To attract ghosts, he was willing to do such harm to himself. Tang Yi sighed and suddenly bowed deeply to Jiang Yun: "I, Tang Yi, have never admitted defeat to anyone, but from now on, I surrender to you!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Tang Yi stood up straight. A ferocious look appeared in his eyes. He suddenly exerted himself, tearing his clothes to shreds, then raised his palm and was about to strike at his own heart.

"What are you doing!" Lu Yourong, with lightning reflexes, grabbed Tang Yi's hand.

Only Senior Brother Jiang can kill these Yin spirits with his own hands, and only then will his vortex grow larger. So I'm here to release death energy, attract the Yin spirits, and give Senior Brother Jiang a chance to act.

Lu Yourong fell silent.

Because Tang Yi was speaking the truth, but she also worried that Tang Yi didn't have Jiang Yun's powerful cultivation. Using self-harm to weaken her vitality and release death energy, what if she couldn't control it properly She might really die.

Fortunately, at this time, Jiang Yun, who had been listening to the two people arguing, spoke again in a weak voice: "No need, there's an array!"

Only then did the two realize that Ginger Cloud had set up an array beforehand, clearly anticipating the current situation.

But they couldn't help but have a sliver of doubt. Could Jiang Yun's formation, set up in such a short time, truly hold back these increasingly powerful Yin spirits

However, out of trust in Jiang Yun, they still decided to believe him.

Two people, standing on either side of Jiang Yun, stood guard with wary eyes, looking at the large number of Yin spirits approaching from both sides.

Just a moment later, both of their eyes lit up at the same time.

As these ghosts neared the location of the three men, about three zhang away—the very spot where the nine spirit stones were buried—they suddenly found themselves unable to move any further.

But they buzzed around the three of them like flies without a head.

Even, many ghosts raised their hands and released various kinds of magical attacks, but all were ineffective.

Of course, although Ginger Cloud did set up the formation in a hurry, this formation was created by Xue Mu, the strongest monster of the Shan Hai.

These are not easily broken by these spirits without intelligence.

In this way, around the three of them, the ghosts gathered more and more, to the point that inside three layers outside three layers, looking out, they were densely packed, endless.

And from all directions, countless more specters were still pouring in.

Although Tang Yi and Lu Yourong were no longer worried about the ghosts rushing in, the two of them were once again worried about Jiang Yun coming.

Because in Lu Yourong's eyes, the death aura emanating from Jiang Yun was like a sky-high fire, straight up to the heavens.

Even faintly, it formed a mass like a tangible black storm of death!

As for Gingercloud himself, he was already on the brink of death.

The dying embers were mere sparks, flickering weakly. A single breath of wind could easily extinguish them!

Just as Jiang Yun was like a flickering candle in the wind, his vision darkened and his consciousness began to fade.

But in his mind, a sudden string was touched lightly!
