Chapter 228 Defeated General
"No! My Soul-Suppressing Bell!" Lingtai stared at the broken Soul-Suppressing Bell on the ground, his eyes filled with heartache and rage. He suddenly looked up at Lin Yuan and An Xin, his eyes blazing with murderous intent. "You dared to destroy my natal magic weapon! I'll tear you to pieces!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lingtai rapidly formed hand seals and chanted even more obscure and violent incantations. The evil energy around him surged wildly, intertwining with the Taoist spiritual energy to form a jet-black current that converged into the air.
"Thunderbolt Spell, summon thunder to descend upon the world!"
As Lingtai roared, dark clouds churned in the sky, and a bolt of pitch-black lightning struck out from the clouds, crashing down fiercely towards Lin Yuan.
This Yin Lightning is not ordinary lightning, but is formed by the condensation of Yin and evil energy, containing a strong corrosive power. Touching it will cause injury, and getting it will cause decay.
Lin Yuan's eyes sharpened. He perfectly fused his fire control talent with the power of divine lightning. Crimson-gold lightning flames emanated from his palms. With a wave of his hands, a thick pillar of lightning flames shot into the sky and collided fiercely with the dark Yin lightning.
"Boom—!" Lightning and dark lightning clashed violently, black and crimson-gold light intertwined, forming a huge energy shockwave that swept around, the ground trembled violently, gravel and dead leaves flew everywhere, and even dead trees by the roadside were snapped in half.
Just as the two were exchanging lightning spells, another Taoist, Lingyu, silently produced a talisman and vanished into thin air, intending to launch a sneak attack. With a flash of light, he appeared behind Lin Yuan, his spiritual sword brimming with killing intent, and slashed fiercely at Lin Yuan's back, attempting to succeed in his sneak attack.
"Watch out behind you!" Anxin's voice rang out just in time. At the same time, "Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and the bullet accurately hit Lingyu's arm. He let out a miserable scream, and the spirit sword in his hand fell instantly. His entire arm was shattered by the bullet. He staggered back a few steps, his eyes filled with anger and fear.
Taking advantage of this gap, Lin Yuan fully activated the Thunderfire Pillar. "Sizzle—!" The Thunderfire Pillar erupted instantly, completely engulfing the dark Yin Lightning. The golden thunderfire followed the trajectory of the Yin Lightning and slammed fiercely towards the Lingtai.
Lingtai's expression changed drastically. He tried to dodge, but it was too late. The lightning struck his chest hard. He cried out in pain, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He staggered back several steps and crashed into a dead tree. The tree instantly shattered, and rubble fell on him. He struggled to get up, but found himself powerless. Blood kept seeping from the wound on his chest, and the area burned by the lightning was charred black.
Seeing his companion in such a miserable state, Lingyu was both shocked and furious. He picked up the spirit sword from the ground with his other arm, his eyes turning crazed and venomous. He knew that with his own strength alone, he was no match for Lin Yuan and had to use his last trump card.
He took out a black soul banner from his bosom. The banner was embroidered with strange skull runes, and countless tiny ghosts were wrapped around it, exuding a strong evil aura that made people shudder. This was the evil magic weapon of Xuanzhen Temple, the Soul-Devouring Banner, which could drive ghosts to attack enemies. Wherever the ghosts passed, their souls were destroyed.
"Soul-Devouring Banner, emerge! Yin spirits devour hearts!" Ling Yu gripped the Soul Banner with both hands and swung it forcefully. The skull runes on the Soul Banner instantly lit up, and countless yin spirits surged out from the Soul Banner, letting out mournful screams, and rushed madly towards Lin Yuan and An Xin.
These ghosts came in various forms, some incomplete, some with hideous faces, surrounded by dark, malevolent energy, carrying a strong killing intent and corrosiveness. Wherever they passed, the ground was corroded into tiny black pits.
Lin Yuan's eyes sharpened, and he immediately activated his fire control talent. The crimson-gold flames in his palm surged, transforming into a massive sea of fire that swept towards the charging Yin spirits.
Flames carry the power of pure Yang, making them the nemesis of Yin spirits. The moment a Yin spirit comes into contact with a flame, it lets out a shrill scream and is instantly burned to ashes, turning into a wisp of black smoke and dissipating.
However, there were too many spirits, which poured out of the soul banner in an endless stream, and the light of the sea of fire gradually dimmed, making it difficult to completely stop the spirits' offensive.
Anxin quickly reloaded her weapon, aiming her sniper rifle at the soul banner in Lingyu's hand. She knew that as long as she destroyed the soul banner, she could stop the outflow of Yin spirits.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Three bullets were fired in succession, accurately hitting the flagpole of the soul banner. The flagpole was shattered, and the soul banner lost its support and slowly fell. The skull runes on the banner instantly dimmed, and the remaining ghosts lost their pull and dissipated into the air.
"No—!" Lingyu let out a heart-wrenching roar. With the Soul Banner destroyed, the spiritual energy in his body instantly became chaotic. He spat out a mouthful of black blood, staggered back a few steps, his face as pale as paper, his eyes filled with despair and resentment.
He never expected that even after he and his senior brother had given their all and used all their trump cards, they still couldn't defeat these two young men. Instead, they destroyed his natal magic weapon and the Soul-Devouring Banner, and he was seriously injured.
Lin Yuan slowly withdrew the lightning and fire, and the dragon scales and horns around his body gradually faded away. The fierce battle just now had consumed a lot of his strength, but his eyes were still sharp and cold. He walked step by step towards the Spirit Platform and the Spirit Jade, the lightning blade in his hand still glowing with lightning, carrying a deadly killing intent.
"Useless things, you said you wanted to avenge that beast, now you can go see it." Lin Yuan's voice was cold and powerful, without the slightest pity.
Lingtai struggled to lift his head, his eyes filled with fear and resentment. He looked at Lin Yuan, his voice weak and hoarse: "You...you can't kill us! We are disciples of Xuanzhen Temple. If you kill us, my master will never let you go! He will personally grind you to dust, so you will never be reincarnated!"
"Your master?" Lin Yuan sneered, his eyes full of mockery. "Even if he comes in person, I'll kill him without hesitation! A vicious dragon and two useless disciples are not enough to make me fear! Today, you are doomed!"
As he spoke, Lin Yuan raised his hand, lightning gathering in his palm, preparing to completely kill the two.
Just then, An Xin suddenly spoke up: "Lin Yuan, wait a minute!"
Lin Yuan turned to look at An Xin, raising an eyebrow: "What's wrong?"
Anxin looked at the two Taoist priests and said, "If you two tell us the details of your master, we might consider letting you go. It all depends on whether you want to live or die..."
