Chapter 4: The Great War of Ghosts and Witches
Ouyang Xuan took another look at the more than ten bodies of armed police officers beside him, and his huge anger ignited his eyes.
"Take this!" Ou Yang Xuan shouted loudly, and sprang up like a nimble leopard.
In mid-air, Ouyang Xuan's legs kicked out in a linked motion, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, directly targeting Meng Chai's head.
"Hmph!" Meng Cai let out a cold hum, and in the blink of an eye, he swung his snake-headed staff horizontally, sealing off Ou Yang Xuan's attack direction with both legs.
"Bang - bang - " Ouyang Xuan's feet heavily kicked the snake stick, and his legs were numb, but surprisingly, the snake stick didn't budge at all.
Ouyang Xuan's eyes narrowed, using the rebound force, his right hand pressed against the ground, and his legs flew up to kick Meng Cai's chest.
With Ouyang Xuan's powerful strength, this kick could easily snap a small tree with a trunk as thick as two fists.
"Bang - Bang -" Meng Cai swiftly thrust the snake staff downwards, and withstood two heavy kicks from Ouyang Xuan, his body still not moving in the slightest.
"Hahaha, young one, you're overestimating yourself!" Meng Cai let out a sinister laugh: "Look at my staff!" In the heavy shadow of the staff, the sharp tip was like a venomous snake's fang, biting straight for Ouyang Xuan's throat.
Ouyang Xuan was shocked, his hands pressed against the ground, and his body quickly leaped up, barely avoiding this stick.
"Whoosh——" The snake-shaped stick whizzed past Ouyang Xuan's cheek, and with a loud "thud", it plunged heavily into the ground.
Ouyang Xuan borrowed momentum to counterattack, his right fist like a heavy hammer, leaving a residual shadow, smashing towards Meng Cai's nasal bridge.
Meng Cai dodged to one side, easily avoiding Ouyang Xuan's punch. The snake-headed staff swung back and struck at an extremely odd angle towards Ouyang Xuan's waist.
Helpless, Ouyang Xuan made a swift retreat of over ten feet in an instant, dodging the sharp hissing snake whip.
Wei Cai didn't pursue, but instead sneered coldly: "So that's all your skills! It seems that today you're just my meal on a platter!" As he spoke, he stretched out his blood-red tongue and greedily licked the edge of his lips.
Ouyang Xuan's face turned solemn: "Your staff technique is very unusual, is this an ancient martial art?"
"Of course!" Wei Cai said proudly: "Don't think I only know magic spells, in martial arts, I was also the best in Chu State back then!"
"How interesting!" Ou Yang Xuan suddenly burst out laughing: "Then let's get down to business and let you see my true skills! However, before that, please move the bodies of these soldiers away. They are also brave warriors who deserve respect after death."
"You can also cast spells!?" Meng Guai looked at Ouyang Xuan in surprise, thought for a moment, and stretched out his thin left hand into the air, shouting: "Rise!"
In an instant, more than a dozen bodies of armed police officers floated eerily in the air and moved to the edge dozens of steps away.
Ouyang Xuan let out a sigh of relief and suddenly clapped his hands: "Slap——!"
"Peng——" Along with the opening of his palms, a fierce flame appeared in his hand, emitting a terrifying high temperature.
Meng Cai's face changed: "This fire, could it be Zeng Sanmei's true fire?"
"You know your stuff, 'Samadhi True Fire' kills gods and ghosts alike! Today, let you taste its flavor!" Ouyang Xuan coldly snorted, suddenly exerting great strength to shout: "Go!"
"Boom——" The 'Samadhi True Fire' grew with the wind, suddenly transforming into a massive wall of fire that charged towards Meng Cai with lightning speed.
As long as he bumps into him, Ouyang Xuan believes that even if it's a god, he will be burned by the 'Samadhi True Fire' and shed one layer of skin.
Intense flames surrounded him, but Meng Cai suddenly burst out laughing: "How interesting! Let me see my 'Nine Underworld Fire Shield'!" He swung his snake-headed staff. The gruesome snake mouth at the head of the staff suddenly spat out a faint green light, which instantly transformed into a shining shield that protected Meng Cai.
"Boom——" The fire wall heavily collided with the green light, producing a tremendous shockwave. For a moment, flames splashed on the mountain top, and the green halo was like a rainbow.
However, what shocked Ouyang Xuan was that after the impact, the fire wall condensed by 'Samadhi True Fire' actually rolled back and rushed towards Ouyang Xuan himself.
Ouyang Xuan was startled, although he feared fire, but also didn't want to be burned into a crispy pig, and furiously shouted: "Come again!" His double fists continuously launched a remote attack, shooting out four fierce fist-shaped flames.
The fist-like flames quickly merged into the fire wall in front, and in an instant, the fire was raging, with sparks jumping up tens of meters, rolling towards Mengcai again.
Meng Cai was taken aback, shouting in a shrill voice: "Good! I've just been revived and I've already encountered an expert like you. What a great joy! Come again!" The snake-headed staff struck heavily once more, and another green light shot out from the ferocious snake mouth, merging into the green light shield surrounding Meng Cai's body.
"Rumble——" A massive wall of flames and green light collided, producing a tremor like a landslide, and immediately a mixed aura of red and green light shot straight into the sky!
Ouyang Xuan only felt a huge gust of wind rushing towards him, 'thud thud thud' retreating three steps, almost falling to the ground with a thud.
Looking at the scene again, the flame wall and green light shield had all disappeared. The ground was covered in dust and flying debris, with blades of grass scattered everywhere, a complete mess.
But Mengcai stood still on the spot, his face was also pale, and the lower hem of his black silk robe was torn, obviously he didn't gain much advantage either.
"Hahaha......" Meng Cai suddenly laughed sharply: "Indeed, you have some skills, but if that's all you've got, I'm afraid you'll still die tonight!"
"Hmph, big words aren't cheap, let's see how long you can last with those old arms and legs of yours!" Ouyang Xuan bellowed, his fists once again bursting with fierce flames.
"This time it's my turn to make a move!" Meng Cai's bloodthirsty eyes flashed, and he suddenly let out a sharp cry: "A thousand years of sleep, my slave, wake up, Skull God Soldier!"
In an instant, the snake's mouth on the tail of the snake staff suddenly spewed out a burst of blood light in all directions, making a 'brushing' sound as it shot into the ground.
Suddenly, the ground shook violently, and Ouyang Xuan was shocked: What's going on!?
"Boom---boom---boom---" The ground suddenly emitted a string of explosions, amidst the swirling dust and fog. From the top of the mountain came a chilling, eerie, and hair-raising ghostly howl: "Heh heh heh..."
Through the hazy dust, Ouyang Xuan was shocked to discover: a group of terrifying skulls were like a group of ghosts jumping out from the ground, emitting strange shrill laughter while their empty eye sockets stared at Ouyang Xuan in an eerie manner. The feeling made Ouyang Xuan's hair stand on end and his heart feel creepy.
"Hahahaha......" Meng Cai sneered: "My slaves, go and kill this human!"
"Hah——" The skulls let out a strange laugh, spreading their dry toe bones and rushing towards Ouyang Xuan like flying.
Ouyang Xuan personally witnessed: a skull ran too fast, and the dry skull suddenly fell off. This headless skull turned around, lowered its body to pick up the skull, and surprisingly put it back on its spine, and even 'heh heh' smiled at Ouyang Xuan with satisfaction.
"My goodness, what the heck is this!" Ouyang Xuan had seen some things in his life, but he had never seen anything more bizarre or eerie than this. He steeled himself and shouted loudly: "What business is it of yours? Kill without pardon!", when
"Ga ga......" Suddenly, a skull-like creature jumped up into the air, its ten sharp finger bones spread open, and stabbed down towards Ouyang Xuan's head.
Ouyang Xuanling's fist struck from afar, a burst of 'Samadhi True Fire' shot out, hitting the skull right on target.
"Boom——" The skull burst into fierce flames, letting out a mournful howl, and instantly turned to ashes.
"Hahaha..." Two more skulls rushed up, wielding their own rib bones as weapons and charged at Ouyang Xuan's waist.
Ouyang Xuan fainted, turned sideways and let out a punch, turning the skull on his left into a huge fireball that flew heavily. At the same time, his right leg swept fiercely, and with a "crack" sound, he kicked the skull on the right to pieces, shattering bones flying everywhere.
"Hmph, let's see how long you can last!" Meng Cai sneered from a distance: "Faithful slaves, kill him!"
A sudden flash of blood light shot out from the snake's mouth on the shepherd's staff and shrouded the mountain top.
At that moment, a large group of skulls went crazy and shrieked loudly, rushing forward: ghostly claws were sharp, ribs were exposed. They all pounced on Ouyang Xuan together.
What shocked Ouyang Xuan even more was that the skull he had just kicked away suddenly reassembled itself in the bloody light and pounced on him with a strange cry.
There is a saying that 'a multitude of ants can kill an elephant', Ouyang Xuan's heart was in a flurry, he hastily let out a loud shout: "You evil creature, do not be so arrogant, look at my battle-axe!"
A fierce golden light burst out from Ouyang Xuan's body, rapidly breaking through his skin and turning into a huge Dharma wheel: seven feet wide, over ten feet long, burning with intense flames, emitting a terrifying and majestic killing aura.
"Go!" Ouyang Xuan exerted his strength to activate the Dharma Wheel, and the wheel, accompanied by a loud whooshing sound, shot towards the dense army of skulls, carrying with it a fierce flame.
"Ka-cha, ka-cha!" With unparalleled power, the Dharma wheel passed by, shattering countless skulls. For a moment, the mountain top was filled with wailing ghosts, and everywhere were flying dry bones, like a swarm of dancing fireflies.
Only a few dozen seconds later, the skull soldiers who were originally dancing wildly had turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared over the mountain.
A wheel that has lost its target spins and whirls in mid-air, like a proud and invincible warrior triumphantly reviewing the battlefield.
Wei Cai's face changed color, and he said sternly: "You can use Huo Shen's 'San Mai Zhen Huo', and you can also turn fire into soldiers. What kind of person are you? What is your relationship with Huo Shen?"
Ouyang Xuan saw that the skull group was easily destroyed, and his heart was greatly settled. He coldly smiled and said: "This is not something for you to worry about, old man. Look at the law wheel!"
There's no need to talk about "respecting the elderly" with this undead monster, Ouyang Xuan cursed loudly and swung his Dharma Wheel, unleashing a howling gust of wind and thunder as he hacked at it viciously.
Meng Cai's face changed as he watched the rapidly approaching Dharma Wheel, and he shouted loudly: "Blood Net Heaven!" The snake head on the snake staff suddenly sprayed out a blood-colored mist, which transformed into a huge blood net in the wind, covering the sky and rushing towards the Dharma Wheel.
Ouyang Xuan was stunned for a moment, the huge Dharma Wheel had already collided with the Blood Net, bursting out a piece of intense red light.
The blood net welcomed the wind and grew rapidly, suddenly wrapping the dharma wheel in it. For a moment, Meng Cai was overjoyed and burst out laughing.
Ouyang Xuan was enraged, and with a thought, he activated the Blood Net, causing it to surge left and right.
"Boom---boom---" At this moment, the mountain top flashed with lightning. The strong and sharp Dharma wheel and the soft and evil blood net were desperately colliding, spewing out huge shockwaves and flames.
After several clashes, the law wheel did not break through the blood net, and Ouyang Xuan became anxious. He shouted loudly: "Open——!" Once again, he used all his strength to urge the law wheel to rush towards the blood net.
"Rumble——" A deafening crash on the mountain top, the law wheel burst through the blood net and shot into the sky.
"Great, go!" Ouyang Xuan was overjoyed, his slightly pale face unable to conceal his excitement, as he wielded the Dharma Wheel and charged towards Meng Cai with a momentum that seemed to crush him like Mount Tai.
Meng Cai was shocked and suddenly let out a sharp whistle. The black robe on his body violently fluttered and quickly transformed into a wisp of black smoke that vanished into thin air.
"Humongous!" The law wheel struck the air, heavily striking the top of the mountain. For a moment, dust and dirt flew about, rocks scattered everywhere, and on the mountaintop, the law wheel chopped out a deep ditch over four feet deep!
"You old ghost! Can't beat me, think you can escape? Haha, how dare you claim to be a master of martial arts, the Witch God of Xiangxi? I think it's just an empty reputation!" Ouyang Xuan worried that Meng Cai would use his demonic powers to escape, so he loudly taunted him.
"You detestable little wretch, how dare you make me so angry!" In the dark sky, Meng Cai's voice rang out, almost gnashing his teeth: "If I don't kill you today, I swear I'll never be a man again!"
Ouyang Xuan burst out laughing: "Old ghost, give up! You were originally a human, you're just an inhuman and non-ghostly monster!"
Meng Cai was furious and jumped up like thunder, a shrill scream in the air: "Dong Bei, I'm going to devour you alive - Giant Python Devours Soul!"
In an instant, a crimson mist rose in the sky, swiftly covering the entire mountain with a speed that left no time to cover one's ears.
For a moment, due to the thick fog of blood, Ouyang Xuan could no longer see anything more than ten steps away.
Ouyang Xuan was shocked. He quickly became alert and sneered: "Old ghost, what other tricks do you have, bring them on!"
"Hahaha, you young one, just wait and see!" A shrill, mocking laughter echoed through the bloody mist.
"Roar——, in an instant, a mournful and resentful ghostly cry echoed through the bloody mist, like weeping, like complaining, like sorrow, like pain, making one's hair stand on end."
Ouyang Xuan suddenly raised his head, and saw that in the vast bloody mist, countless ghosts with different expressions and deaths were rapidly flying around in the bloody mist, emitting a piercing and penetrating scream.
Ouyang Xuan clenched his fists, thinking to himself: "What is this old ghost trying to do? Does he think he can scare me with these weak and evil spirits?! This is useless, I'm not afraid!"
Just as I was in a state of utter bewilderment, suddenly, two huge red balls appeared in the southeastern sky, emitting a faint reddish glow.
Ouyang Xuan suddenly became vigilant: What is this thing!?
"Hiss——" Suddenly, a very strange sound came from the southeast, as if it were a burst tire leaking air, only the sound was extremely loud, sounding like a drumbeat.
Ouyang Xuan was in a daze when, out of the hazy blood mist, a huge black snake suddenly emerged: its triangular head was as flat as an oversized iron, those two giant red beads were actually the snake's eyes, the hissing sound of the snake's body was several feet long, and it emitted a pungent bloody smell as it stretched and shrank, its body was as thick as a bucket, and its length reached a terrifying tens of meters, its entire black scales in the blood mist emitted a dazzling light.
Ouyang Xuan's face suddenly changed color, and he was shocked: Oh my god, there is actually such a huge snake in the world!
"Hahaha……" The sky suddenly echoed with Meng Cai's sharp and sinister laughter: "Geng Bei, you're not that great, are you? Then come and compete with my giant snake! Kill this despicable human!" Hsss—— The giant snake let out a terrifying hiss, its two blood-red eyes staring fixedly at Ouyang Xuan.
Ouyang Xuan was shocked and secretly cursed: Where did this old man come from with such a huge snake, now he's in big trouble!
"Hiss——" The giant snake spat out a burst of venom, its neck slightly shrinking back, then like a fierce flash of lightning, it fiercely bit towards Ouyang Xuan.
The enormous snake's mouth was wide open, and two sharp giant fangs in the bloody basin-like mouth emitted a pungent stench.
Ouyang Xuan was shocked and turned pale, his body quickly dodging to the right.
"Boom!" The giant snake did not bite Ouyang Xuan, but instead rammed its head into the ground, causing dust to fly everywhere and grass to scatter wildly. The scene was shrouded in a thick fog.
Ouyang Xuan looked again, and on the ground, a deep ditch over two feet deep and more than ten feet long was plowed out by this giant snake. He couldn't help but feel a chill run down his back, and he hastily shouted: "Fǎlún, go!"
"Whoosh——" A massive fireball burst forth in mid-air, shooting towards the giant snake's skull with a deafening roar. Like a meteor streaking across the sky, it left behind a trail of intense residual light!
"Boom!" The giant snake had just lifted its head from the ground when the wheel arrived, striking solidly at the snake's neck, with black scales and sparks flying everywhere.
"Boom——" The giant snake let out a miserable hiss, its body engulfed in fierce flames as it crashed to the ground, and another massive cloud of dust was stirred up on the mountain top.
Ouyang Xuan clearly saw that, although the giant snake's scales were too hard and the Dharma Wheel did not cut off the giant snake's head, such a heavy impact and the terrible 'Samadhi True Fire' would likely kill the giant snake.
"Yessss! Very Good!" Ou Yang Xuan excitedly clenched his fists, "You detestable little brat. Dare to hurt my giant snake!" The sky echoed with Meng Cai's furious and crazed voice: "Today, I will definitely kill you!"
"Hiss!" Suddenly, a loud hiss echoed through the dusty fog. A massive black shadow burst forth from the ground, surrounded by intense flames.
"What!?" Ouyang Xuan was shocked and lost his color.
"Then kill him!" Meng Cai's voice was eerily cold, like a snake slithering silently.
"Hiss——" In an instant, the giant snake's mouth opened wide in the midst of the fierce flames, spewing out a stream of foul-smelling bloody mist that covered its entire body. The 'Samadhi True Fire' flickered weakly and was extinguished with great reluctance!
"Hiss——!" The giant snake's blood-red eyes stared at Ouyang, looking extremely angry. Suddenly, the snake's mouth opened again, and a black, foul-smelling poisonous mist poured out, covering Ouyang Xuan's head and face.
Although Ou Yang Xuan knew he wasn't afraid of even the most potent poison, he wasn't sure if he could withstand the giant snake's poisonous mist, and didn't dare to take any risks. He hastily retreated backwards while simultaneously recalling his flying Wheel of Law that was still spinning in mid-air.
"Blazing Wall!" Seeing the toxic fog getting closer and closer, Ouyang Xuan retreated in a hurry, his hands spread apart. A massive wall of flames burst out, blocking in front of Ouyang Xuan and facing the foul-smelling toxic fog.
"Hiss——" The poisonous fog and 'Samadhi True Fire' collided, emitting a strange and ear-piercing sound.
Fortunately, the huge firewall withstood the pressure of the poisonous fog, and the pungent toxic gas was roasted into a group of white gases that rose into the night sky.
Ouyang Xuan was overjoyed, seeing that the weapons seemed to be ineffective against the giant snake. He hastily took out the "Yu Pao" from his bosom and shouted: "Yu Pao, subdue the demon, go!"
Under the impact of 'Samadhi True Fire', 'Yu Pao' emitted a myriad of auspicious lights, and pleasant ancient music sounded. As it rose into the air, it shot out countless demon-suppressing talismans towards the giant snake.
"What?!" Yu Xiao's voice echoed in mid-air: "How is it possible that you have this divine artifact, how can you use it?!"
Ouyang Xuanli Mengcai, only shook off those countless demon-suppressing talismans and pounced on the giant snake.
Like bees smelling flowers, countless golden light seals rushed towards the giant snake one after another, and in an instant, they wrapped the giant snake up.
"Chirp——" The terrifying golden light emitted by the mysterious symbol released a scorching temperature and immense pressure, causing the giant snake to crash to the ground instantly. Amidst the flying dust, it let out an unusually painful cry.
"Little thief, don't you dare hurt my Shuangyue!" In the sky, Meng Cai was so angry that he went crazy and suddenly shot down a blood light that hit the giant snake right in the middle.
"Hum——" The talisman on the giant snake's body collided with the blood light, instantly shattering it into a burst of sparks.
"Yu Pao", receive! Ouyang Xuan was overjoyed and let out a loud shout, exerting his strength to wield "Yu Pao"!
"Whoosh——" The 'Yu Xiao' shot out a holy white light pillar towards the giant snake, the giant snake let out a miserable cry, in the light pillar it shrunk smaller and smaller, suddenly transforming into a small tiny snake, like a bird flying into the forest, flew towards 'Yu Xiao'!
"No——!" Meng Cai let out a desperate shriek in the sky.
"Hiss——" The giant snake was smoothly sucked into the 'Jade Spirit', the 'Jade Spirit' successfully captured the demon, and restored its ancient, ordinary color.
With the collapse of the giant serpent, the blood mist and countless wailing spirits that originally filled the sky suddenly disappeared, restoring the natural starry sky.
Ouyang Xuan's mind moved, and he deliberately teased with a big laugh: "Meng Cai, your giant snake has farted. Oh, right, you might not know what it means to fart, that is, go to hell! Do you have any other moves? Let me see how much skill this witch god still has!"
Suddenly, a wisp of black air fell in front of Ouyang Xuan and transformed into Meng Cai.
At this time, Meng Cai's face was ashen, and he really looked like a zombie. The small mountain-like whiskers under his forehead quivered with rage, and in a voice that sounded like gnashing teeth, he said: "Good, good, young man, I will not live under the same sky as you for the rest of my life!"
"Hey, you're neither human nor ghost! Look at 'Yu Xiao'!" Ouyang Xuan saw that the tail of his guess was down, and suddenly activated 'Yu Xiao', shooting out a dense array of demon-suppressing talismans towards Meng Cai.
"Good little generation!" Meng Cai knew he had been deceived, and in a rage, he raised his snake-headed staff, shooting out a green light that formed a huge wall of light, firmly blocking the talisman.
Ouyang Xuan suddenly urged on, and the symbol seal moved towards Weicai's tail, pressing down fiercely.
Just then, a loud and clear crowing sound suddenly came from somewhere: "Cock-a-doodle-doo!"
Meng Cai's face suddenly changed, and he shouted: "It's going to be dawn, I won't keep you company!" As he spoke, his snake staff swirled and transformed into a black mist that escaped into the sky.
"Bang——" The green light wall was shattered by the symbol seal, and Meng Cai had already escaped without a trace.
"Dong Bei, remember this, I'll find you and take my revenge!" Meng Cai's gnashing teeth left a curse in the hazy dawn.
"Which family's chicken is making such a ruckus?!" Ouyang Xuan was furious, cursing loudly, and he really wished he could pluck all the feathers off this rooster. At the same time, he also hated himself for not being able to fly like the "Winged People".
Suddenly, Ouyang Xuan sneered: "Good, you run! Hmph, you can't escape the temple even if you're a monk. I'll tear down your nest at dawn and see if you care!"
Ouyang Xuan jumped down the mountain after stamping his foot.
