Chapter 119 It would be better to fight to the death.
The deep blue flames rushed toward Brother Yu.
The evil cultivator pointed his sword at the deep blue flames and shouted, "Flame Rain!"
The deep blue flames transformed into countless blossoms, falling like raindrops towards Brother Yu.
Black flames erupted from Brother Yu's body as he faced the deep blue flames.
Lele exclaimed, "Xixi, this is hellfire. Although it's not a very high-level fire, it's still very powerful. Ghosts are extremely afraid of hellfire; it can burn them to ashes."
Zhong Lingxin nodded. As the one controlling the array, she could already feel the extremely high temperature of the deep blue flames.
Brother Yu gave a cold laugh. These few evil cultivators had never unleashed their hellfire, whether they were fighting against cultivators from righteous sects or against remnant souls.
It's obvious that it was kept to deal with him.
Did he really think he had no suspicion of his companions?
No, he was even more wary of these evil cultivator companions than he was of cultivators and remnant souls from righteous sects.
With a thought, Brother Yu was about to summon back his Netherworld Ghost Fire.
Let his ghostly flames devour this hellfire.
Soon, he felt the summoning blocked, as if the ghostly fire was being held down by something.
This was exactly what he expected. These evil cultivators had gone to great lengths to trap his Netherworld Fire, so of course they wouldn't let him summon it back so easily.
Do you really think he can't be summoned back?
Of course not.
His eyes suddenly turned bright black, with only the irises and no whites. Two jet-black beams of light shot out from his eyes, striking his ghostly flames directly.
The circle of souls surrounding the ghostly flames was struck by the black light shooting from Brother Yu's eyes, and a large hole was quickly pierced through them.
Lele exclaimed, "Quick, don't let them get stuck together!"
Zhong Lingxin hurriedly activated the formation, suppressing the Netherworld Ghost Fire even lower. At the same time, a small illusion array appeared around the Netherworld Ghost Fire, trapping the souls inside the array.
Brother Yu sneered. He could sense that his Netherworld Ghost Fire was in that direction. Could a small illusion array really sever the connection between him and his contracted fire?
The black light in his eyes intensified, and he continuously summoned in his mind, intending to connect the black light with his ghostly fire.
This black light was the essence he cultivated along with the Netherworld Ghost Fire. When used together with the Netherworld Ghost Fire, it could multiply the burning power of the Netherworld Ghost Fire.
The Netherworld Fire, which was blocked by Zhong Lingxin's small illusion array, sensed its master's urgent call and also sensed that its companion was not far away.
It burned fiercely in the direction of the sensation.
Zhong Lingxin's mind stirred, and the pile of souls surrounding the Netherworld Ghost Fire enveloped it even more tightly, as if it were being strangled, and the black flames all over its body shrank.
The evil cultivators who were attacking Brother Yu were initially startled when they saw the black light emanating from his eyes. However, after seeing that the black light was heading towards the Netherworld Ghost Fire and the pile of souls, they calmed down slightly and intensified their attack on Brother Yu.
They wielded their ghost-head sabers, ghost banners, and Yin-Yang swords even faster, aiming them at Brother Yu.
Only by killing Brother Yu can the fundamental problem be solved.
Zhong Lingxin surveyed the situation within the entire trapping and killing formation. The evil cultivators there were slightly stronger, so she suppressed them a bit.
It's best to make these heretical cultivators evenly matched, and fight them to the point of mutual destruction.
Zhong Lingxin slightly suppressed the evil cultivators who were besieging Brother Yu.
Brother Yu's attack power quickly increased, and he was able to fight back and forth with the evil cultivators, no longer being suppressed.
Brother Yu felt a little relieved. It seemed that these evil cultivators had used up a lot of spiritual energy to trap his Netherworld Ghost Fire.
Several evil cultivators used the Hunyuan Formation to attack Brother Yu. Relying on the power of the formation, they greatly increased their combat strength and also saved a lot of spiritual energy.
But Brother Yu was also an expert in using the Hunyuan Formation. He could tell at a glance that one of the evil cultivators had a weaker cultivation level and was having some difficulty following the others in turning the Hunyuan Formation.
He swallowed a spirit-replenishing pill, brandished his magic weapon, and unleashed a swirling black aura around him as he relentlessly attacked a malevolent cultivator.
The evil cultivators' Hunyuan Formation was no longer as smooth, and the evil cultivators who were being chased and beaten by Brother Yu made mistakes in their footwork many times.
One of the evil cultivators cursed loudly: "Cai Baozi, you bastard, hurry up and take your drugs."
Cai Baozi dared not be stingy with the Spirit-Replenishing Pill any longer and hurriedly swallowed one.
The other evil cultivators also launched a fierce attack on Brother Yu, forcing him to retaliate and defend himself.
The situation was stabilized again.
Half an hour later, Brother Yu swallowed another Spirit-Replenishing Pill and launched a fierce attack on the evil cultivator named Cai Baozi.
Cai Baozi staggered, his left arm was severed, his body swayed wildly, and his steps became chaotic.
Seizing the opportunity, Brother Yu killed Cai Baozi with a single claw strike, and then proceeded to attack another evil cultivator.
The evil cultivator panicked. The image of Cai Baozi's tragic death flashed before his eyes, causing his spiritual power to become somewhat distorted.
Frustrated, Zhong Lingxin quietly released her pressure on the evil cultivators and instead turned her attention to Brother Yu.
After killing Cai Baozi, Brother Yu knew that the evil cultivators would intensify their attack.
Although he was a little disappointed that he hadn't expanded his gains, he didn't expect that someone was quietly suppressing him. He only thought that it was the fierce attack of those evil cultivators that had limited his moves due to their large output of spiritual energy.
After several moves, Brother Yu was injured in the back by several evil cultivators. Every time he raised his hand to make a move, he was restricted by the injury to his back, which made several of his moves unusable. A large hole also appeared in the black aura on his back.
Several times, he wanted to take out the healing pills and eat them.
However, the evil cultivators were also experienced in combat, so they couldn't spare a hand to eat pills. They all cheered and made the Hunyuan Formation run even faster.
Left with no other option, Brother Yu could only grit his teeth and fight back, desperately summoning his Netherworld Ghost Fire as he struggled.
The ghostly fire sensed Brother Yu's increasingly urgent call, but no matter what it did, it couldn't break free from the encirclement of the souls. It was forced to burn out several souls, but even more souls still firmly surrounded it.
Seeing that Brother Yu was at a disadvantage in the battle against the evil cultivators, Zhong Lingxin quietly released her suppression of Brother Yu.
Now, Brother Yu, who is seriously injured, and the evil cultivators, who have lost one member, are truly evenly matched.
The evil cultivator with hellfire called on his accomplices to attack Brother Yu, while he used the hellfire to burn the black aura swirling around Brother Yu's body.
The black aura surrounding Brother Yu was entirely formed from his spiritual power. Being fiercely burned by the hellfire, his spiritual power was consumed much faster, and even spirit-replenishing pills couldn't replenish it. Moreover, he was currently being relentlessly attacked by the evil cultivators, so he had no time to take any pills.
Seeing that Brother Yu's strength was becoming increasingly futile, the evil cultivators excitedly intensified their attacks.
Good for Brother Yu! Despite taking a knife wound that nearly dislocated his left shoulder, he resolutely pulled out a Spirit-Replenishing Pill and a Healing Pill.
