When the dim light came into contact with the red light on the sword, the red light began to shrink, and the surface of the giant sword gradually turned from red to black, as if it was corroded by filth.

The mental connection between the woman surnamed Chang and the giant sword suddenly became dull.

The beautiful woman in black felt a sinking feeling in her heart. Without thinking too much, she slapped her storage bag and took out a magic wheel-like treasure to try to get out of the predicament.

However, before she could use this treasure, a thunderbolt suddenly sounded beside her, and a dazzling golden arc shot out and hit the giant sword accurately.

The thunder roared and the gray threads broke in the golden light. The giant sword finally regained its freedom. The beautiful woman hurriedly thanked Chen Yun:
"Thank you, Brother Chen, for your help!"

Then he pinched his fingers to recall the flying sword, which turned into three red rays and was put into his sleeve.

After Chen Yun rescued the opponent with one strike, he had no time to be polite with the beautiful woman. Instead, he stared at the situation in mid-air with a frown.

On a silent ancient battlefield, three mummies suddenly revived. One of them growled, and the gray threads that had been scattered miraculously re-condensed and returned to their original state.

At this time, the other two mummies also slowly approached, as if preparing to launch an attack together.

Faced with this sudden change, the black-clad lady's face turned ugly. After her eyes rested on the gray silk for a moment, she suddenly realized:
"This is the aura of the evil corpse!"

She exclaimed, her face turning extremely pale in an instant.

"Corpse evil spirit?"

When Chen Yun heard the name, his heart moved. He remembered that he had read a description of this mysterious power in the Great Yan Treasure Scripture.

Corpse evil is an evil existence formed by the combination of the undispersed evil spirit of the deceased and the corpse qi.

This power is extremely rare, and even many monks know little about it.

The formation of corpse evil energy is extremely difficult.

The conditions for its formation are quite harsh. It requires the corpse of a cultivator at least at the Jindan stage or above, and also requires the cooperation of many unknown conditions. It can only be generated by chance.

Once the corpse evil energy is formed, it possesses the characteristics of immortality and can absorb the spiritual energy of the five elements. It can also specifically defile various magical weapons and instruments. It is truly bizarre and is one of the most advanced magical powers in the ghost way.

As for the evil soul thread, although I have never heard of it, judging from its effect, it should be a magical power exerted with the help of the evil spirit of corpse. No wonder it is so tricky to deal with.

Chen Yun knew very well that even if he used the evil-repelling divine thunder to disperse the thing, he would not be able to completely destroy it.

Just when Chen Yun had thought everything through, the three mummies stretched out their hands at the same time, bent and flicked their fingers, and gray rays of light shot out from their fingertips.

At this moment, the beautiful woman in black took a deep breath, summoned the Falun in her hand, muttered something, and the sound of incantations rang out.

The Falun spun rapidly in the air, then emitted seven-colored spiritual light, transforming into a layer of light curtain that enveloped Chen Yun and the other person.

"Seven-colored aura! Buddhist magic weapon!"

Chen Yun was slightly startled. He was originally planning to raise his hand to launch a golden arc attack, but when he saw the seven-colored light curtain appear, he paused and showed a hint of surprise on his face.

Those evil soul threads were incredibly fast and hit the seven-colored light curtain in the blink of an eye. However, they were blocked outside and failed to penetrate the light curtain.

In this fierce battle, Chen Yun remained calm and composed.

It is well known that Buddhist techniques have a restraining effect on the supernatural powers of ghosts.

Even though the evil soul thread is extremely sharp, it is difficult to break it instantly when encountering the Buddhist spiritual light.

However, what surprised Chen Yun was that the beautiful woman who was an elder of the Demon Sect actually possessed a treasure of Buddhism.

The three mummies did not give up just because the soul-killing silk did not work.

Their ten fingers trembled, and countless gray threads appeared and entangled themselves around the seven-colored light curtain, trying to trap Chen Yun and the beautiful woman to death.

Chen Yun's eyes turned cold, and he rubbed his hands quickly, then raised them at the same time.

Two thick golden arcs of light shot out from the palms of his hands and hit the light curtain directly.

With a crackling sound, a layer of golden electric net formed on the surface of the light curtain, and in the blink of an eye it dispersed the gray threads outside into gray gas and turned them invisible.

The three mummies saw this scene but didn't care.

They continued to spew out new evil soul threads, and the dispersed gray gas was gradually re-condensing.

"Friend Chang, go out first!" Chen Yun said concisely.

As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of silver wings suddenly appeared behind him.

The beautiful woman in black originally wanted to dissuade Chen Yun, but when she saw the strange vision behind Chen Yun, she immediately swallowed her words.

She lightly tapped a certain spot on the light curtain, and a tiny crack suddenly appeared.

With a slight flap of his wings, Chen Yun's figure instantly disappeared in the silver light.

The three corpses noticed something unusual, paused their movements, and began to look around, trying to find any trace of Chen Yun.

Almost at the same time, a silver arc flashed several feet behind them, and Chen Yun's figure appeared again.

The three corpses reacted quickly and snapped their fingers without hesitation, and dozens of gray threads shot towards Chen Yun.

Faced with the incoming attack, Chen Yun did not choose to dodge, but opened his mouth and spit out three golden lights.

These rays of light rushed straight towards the three corpses at such a fast speed that they were unstoppable.

In this battle, Chen Yun's attack speed was obviously faster than his opponent.

I saw him spurting out a golden light, which was a bit faster than the gray silk.

The golden light transformed into three golden small swords, which, after a few puff sounds, were accurately inserted into the chests of the three corpses. This action was clean and neat, fully demonstrating his superb fighting skills.

At the same time, the evil soul thread flew towards Chen Yun at a rapid speed and was about to wrap around him.

However, Chen Yun reacted extremely quickly. He let out a low shout and a layer of seven-colored halo instantly appeared on his body.

This seven-colored halo was like a solid barrier. Once the gray silk touched it, it was isolated outside and could no longer pose a threat to Chen Yun.

"Seven-colored aura!"

The beautiful woman in black in the distance was slightly startled when she saw this scene.

She obviously did not expect that Chen Yun could perform such a wonderful spell. The appearance of the seven-colored spiritual light caused the situation to change subtly in an instant.

Chen Yun's face was stern and he pointed at the three corpses expressionlessly.

As he pointed, three thunderous roars were heard, and a dazzling golden arc shot out from the three small swords at the same time.

These golden arcs intertwined into electric nets, instantly enveloping the three corpses.

For a moment, electric arcs shot out in all directions, the light was dazzling, and the powerful electricity seemed to destroy everything.

Under the powerful force of the golden arc explosion, the Three Corpses didn't even have time to make a groan before their bodies turned into nothing in an instant.

However, what was strange was that three black gas masses appeared in the golden light.

These air masses seemed to have tenacious vitality. They were constantly torn apart by the golden arcs, but could also merge together on their own.

Under the attack of this evil-repelling divine thunder, they seemed to have immortal bodies, making the situation even more complicated.

Chen Yun frowned slightly when he saw this. He knew very well that these three mysterious air masses might hide even greater dangers, and the next battle might be far from over.

The body of the corpse was integrated with the evil spirit of the corpse, making it difficult to kill them at once. Therefore, they could only be sealed temporarily by means of prohibition.

When the beautiful woman in black saw Chen Yun succeed, she immediately put away the light curtain and flew over, suggesting:
"No need to waste your time. I don't know what strange powers these ghosts have. I'm afraid ordinary restrictions can't seal them. Let's just put an end to it once and for all."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yun slapped the spirit beast bag on his waist, and a black light flew out, revealing a shiny black little monkey - the Soul-Crying Beast!

The beast had been in excitement since it was awakened by the corpse gas. As soon as it appeared, it snorted at the big nose in front of it.

Suddenly, a ray of light spurted out from the nostrils, sweeping all the black air in the golden arc into the beast's mouth.

After the Weeping Soul Beast swallowed a few times, it pounded its belly with both hands and jumped for joy. The beautiful woman beside was stunned!

Among the spiritual beasts, there are indeed some species that can devour ghosts. Although they are rare in the world, they are not extinct.

But she had never heard of a situation like the little monkey in front of her, who could easily swallow a ghost that contained the evil energy of a corpse.

Moreover, it is said that the only spiritual beast that looks like a little monkey and has the ability to eat ghosts is the Green-eyed Spirit Ape. Although it can be compared with the little monkey in front of him, there is no similarity between them.

Just as the beautiful woman was stunned, Chen Yun looked at the Soul-Crying Beast. Seeing that it was safe and sound and there was nothing abnormal, he felt relieved.

He did not put away the Soul-Crying Beast immediately. After thinking for a moment, he waved to it.

The Soul-Crying Beast flipped over obediently, then squatted steadily on Chen Yun's shoulder, without any further movement.

"Let's go. I wonder if Brother Fu and his men have captured Yin Zhima?"

Chen Yun glanced indifferently at the beautiful woman in black and spoke slowly.

"I think it's almost done. The corpse wolf has been injured by Brother Chen, so it can't get far."

"Besides, we have fellow Daoists Yuan and Bai to help us."

The woman surnamed Chang suppressed her curiosity about the Soul-Crying Beast and responded with a smile.

Chen Yun smiled slightly and was about to say that they would leave immediately, but he suddenly felt his body shaken, and in an instant, both he and the beautiful woman opposite him had their expressions changed suddenly.

The two looked at each other in surprise and doubt, then Chen Yun shook his sleeves and walked out, and the woman reached into the storage bag, each took out a formation plate, placed it in the palm of her hand and examined it.

Chen Yun and the beautiful woman in black discovered that the magic power marks of Fellow Daoist Yuan and Fellow Daoist Chang had disappeared, and speculated that they might have encountered a strong enemy or were trapped in a restriction.

The two decided to go and check it out, transforming into a beam of light and moving quickly along the passage.

After some twists and turns, they finally came to an open area and found it was full of abandoned ores.

After flying cautiously for more than a hundred feet, the pile of ore suddenly disappeared, replaced by a small square.

In the center of the square stood a giant green bamboo, its top reaching the top of the cave and disappearing out of sight.

At the lower end, there is a huge magic circle, which almost covers the entire square.

There were a dozen tall stone pillars sparsely distributed around, and on each pillar was tied a pitch-black dried corpse with an iron chain. These mummies were the same as the three that Chen Yun had seen before, and all of them had been disemboweled.

What shocked Chen Yun and the beautiful woman was that under the green bamboo, there was a humanoid monster covered with green hair.

The monster was sitting there, holding a headless corpse in one hand, gnawing on something with his head down, apparently enjoying it very much.

Judging from the clothes and attire of the corpse, it was undoubtedly a man named Yuan.

Next to the green-haired monster, there was a huge corpse wolf that was also eating. Under its sharp claws was actually the turtle that belonged to the man named Yuan.

At this time, the spirit beast had no breath left and was obviously dead.

Yin Zhima was still lying on top of the dead wolf, not moving at all.

Seeing this scene, Chen Yun couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

The beautiful woman in black looked around with a pale face, and then couldn't help but cried out:

"Brother Fu!"

Her eyes were fixed on the air, her face full of fear.

In the air on both sides of the square, two gray cocoon-like objects were suspended, with layers of evil soul silk wrapped around their surface, the density of which was far beyond what had been seen before.

There was thunder roaring in one cocoon, while in the other it was quiet and silent, with only an occasional glimmer of crystal light.

The old man surnamed Fu and Bai Yaoyi were trapped inside, and seemed to be still alive.

However, one of the three mid-Nascent Soul cultivators had died and two were trapped. Although Chen Yun appeared calm on the surface, he was filled with shock in his heart.

The beautiful woman in black was concerned about the old man surnamed Fu, but she knew that this was not the time to rescue him, so she withdrew her gaze and tightly grasped the Buddhist Dharma Wheel in her hand.

The green-haired monster ignored the two men and just focused on eating. It easily tore off an arm, chewed it up and swallowed it.

Seeing the miserable state of the man surnamed Yuan, Chen Yun's pupils suddenly shrank and a hint of blue light flashed in his eyes.

At the critical moment, the Soul-Crying Beast suddenly screamed, the hair on its back stood up, and it stared at the green-haired monster, ready to attack.

However, Chen Yun sensed through the Minghun Pearl that although the Crying Soul Beast was extremely excited, it was mostly filled with fear, as if it had encountered some natural enemy.

Chen Yun became more cautious.

When the green-haired monster heard the shrill cry of the Soul-Crying Beast, it stopped moving abruptly, then threw the corpse away, and the corpse flew more than twenty feet away before falling heavily to the ground.

When Chen Yun and the beautiful woman saw this, their faces changed slightly and they lamented the great power of this green-haired monster.

The green-haired monster stood up calmly and looked up at them.

At this time, Chen Yun saw the appearance of the green-haired monster clearly.

At first glance its face resembles that of an ape, but a closer look reveals that it is quite different.

This monster has no fangs, its mouth is full of blood, its eyes are silvery white and have no pupils, and its appearance is extremely strange.

Chen Yun noticed that after the monster appeared, two towering meat lumps instantly appeared behind it, shaped like meat sacs.

The green-haired monster's eyes quickly swept over the two of them, and finally locked onto the Soul-Crying Beast on Chen Yun's shoulder. A strange expression appeared on his face, as if a mixture of surprise and confusion.

When the green-haired monster stared at it, not only did a tuft of hair on the Soul-Crying Beast's back stand up, but all the hair on its body stood up.

Then, it suddenly leaped and jumped to a place several feet in front of Chen Yun. It slapped its chest with both hands, and a black light burst out from its body, and its body expanded rapidly.

In a flash, a ferocious giant ape over ten feet tall appeared in the cave. The bloody evil spirit patterns on its back were clearly visible, and it looked lifelike, as if it were a living creature.

The transformed Soul-Crying Beast made the green-haired monster on the opposite side feel threatened. He suddenly took a few steps back, and his shoulders shook.

With two "sizzling" sounds, two huge silver wings stretched out from the flesh bag on its back, the light was dazzling.

"Silver-winged Yaksha!" The beautiful woman in black called out the green-haired monster's name almost like a moan, her eyes full of fear.

Chen Yun's face also turned pale.

The Silver-winged Yaksha is the second most powerful corpse in the human world, second only to the Golden Body Moon Corpse. Its magical powers are vast, and its strength is comparable to that of a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. (End of this chapter)
