Chapter 1239 - 1236: Dragon Summoning Skill
In this period, several members of the task force arrived, including Feng Lingfeng and Fan Changhe.
Zhou Kai, who arrived almost simultaneously with Zhang Wenhui, wanted to enter but was stopped. Zhang Wenhui knew Zhou Kai as the person in charge of Haiqing Pool but couldn't explain the situation inside to him, so he had Feng Long take him back.
"Master Feng, Master Fan, I'll go in with Xiao Jia first; you wait outside for our news," said Zhang Wenhui to Feng Lingfeng, Fan Changhe, and others.
Feng Lingfeng and Fan Changhe pondered for a moment and nodded. Feng'er said, "I want to go in with you too."
Zhang Wenhui looked at Feng'er, nodded, and then called Song Xiaojia, and the three walked into Haiqing Pool.
Inside Haiqing Pool, over a dozen people were staring at the trio.
Their faces showed vacant expressions, with eerie smiles in their eyes, looking very strange.
Zhang Wenhui immediately understood that these people were possessed by Yin Spirits and were no longer themselves.
Zhang Wenhui, being the reincarnation of Ksitigarbha, caused all Yin Spirits to fear him, including those possessing people.
"Get out of them!" Zhang Wenhui commanded coldly.
Instantly, streams of blue energy flew out of each person's body, spiraling in front of Zhang Wenhui, and then transforming into hazy figures.
After the blue energy rushed out of each person, they collapsed softly to the ground, motionless, unclear if dead or alive.
The hazy figures formed from blue energy froze before Zhang Wenhui, trembling with apparent fear.
"Why have you come here?" Zhang Wenhui asked coldly, facing the dozen Yin Spirits.
As Zhang Wenhui finished, Feng'er suddenly felt a heavy gloomy wind approaching, giving her a jolt and preparing to summon her power, but Song Xiaojia moved first.
Song Xiaojia's master at Feng Lingshan died mysteriously, and no clues had been found so far. According to Zhang Wenhui's suspicion, Feng Lingshan's death was probably related to Maoshan Tao.
During these days, following Zhang Wenhui, Song Xiaojia had witnessed many things and understood that these Yin Spirits were definitely the work of Maoshan Tao.
Song Xiaojia swiftly acted, her petite body soaring upward, surpassing Zhang Wenhui, her right palm striking fast.
The suddenly appearing gloomy wind was no ordinary Yin Spirit; Song Xiaojia's palm strike swept across but was overwhelmed by the sinister energy.
"Xiao Jia, be careful!" Zhang Wenhui shouted, moving instantly behind Song Xiaojia, grabbing her garment, and pulling her aside.
Pulling Song Xiaojia away, Zhang Wenhui then extended his left palm, shouting as his palm struck the sinister energy.
Clearly, Zhang Wenhui's power surpassed Song Xiaojia greatly, as the sweeping sinister energy was repelled by Zhang Wenhui's palm strike, rolling backward.
However, Zhang Wenhui also seemed affected, stepping back three times before stopping.
"Break the sun!" Feng'er shouted, her body emitting light, shooting rapidly at the sinister energy.
The sinister energy emitted a strange laugh, swiftly transforming into a black mist that engulfed the incoming light.
"My sword!" Feng'er yelled, charging towards the black mist.
Zhang Wenhui was close to Feng'er; seeing her rush forward, he stepped aside and pulled Feng'er back.
"I didn't expect you'd come to the human world too," Zhang Wenhui said gravely, holding Feng'er, gazing at the black mist.
The strange laughter from the black mist resumed, followed by a chilling voice, "Ksitigarbha, I didn't expect you'd still recognize an old friend like me."
Zhang Wenhui sneered, "Even if I forget others, I can't forget you."
"Hahaha…" the black mist laughed hysterically, "Ksitigarbha, in the underworld, I was no match for you, but here in the human realm, where you aren't in your full form, I advise you not to meddle."
Zhang Wenhui coldly replied, "Though I'm not in full form, I won't let you run rampant in the human world."
"Then don't blame me for being ruthless." As the voice from the black mist stopped, it transformed into a huge black mouth, lunging at the three.
"Feng'er, Xiao Jia, quickly retreat!" shouted Zhang Wenhui, raising both palms and leaping forward to confront the black mouth.
Song Xiaojia sensed the power of the black mist from Zhang Wenhui's voice, chose not to retreat, instead raising her hands above her head, forming a cross, slightly lifting her right leg, and shouting, "Soldiers arrayed in front of me, Divine Dragon slay the evil."
Dragon Summoning Skill, at this critical moment, Song Xiaojia unleashed the Dragon Summoning Skill.
A golden dragon flew out from Song Xiaojia's clasped hands, emitting a low growl. It circled around her body once before launching at the black mist in an attack.
"The Mao family's Dragon Summoning Skill." A surprised voice echoed from the large black mouth.
Zhang Wenhui had already reached the black mouth at this moment, and his body was immediately swallowed into it. From afar, he appeared surrounded by a mass of black mist.
The golden dragon summoned by Song Xiaojia also reached the black mouth at this time and encountered the same situation as Zhang Wenhui, with the dragon's body enveloped by black mist.
The golden dragon was heavily confined by the black mist, and its movements seemed severely restricted, twisting continuously in the mist in an attempt to break free.
And Zhang Wenhui, completely surrounded by black mist, seemed to be tightly bound by countless ropes that held him fast.
Song Xiaojia's Dragon Summoning Skill was ineffective, Feng'er's Sunbreaker was also swallowed by the black mist, and even Zhang Wenhui, the reincarnation body of Ksitigarbha, was trapped by it.
What on earth is this thing? How is it so terrifying?
Seeing Zhang Wenhui trapped, Feng'er rushed outside, shouting to Feng Lingfeng and Fan Changhe, "Come in quickly and help."
Feng Lingfeng and the others were right outside, and upon hearing Feng'er's shout, they rushed in together.
Feng Lingfeng was the first to charge in, taking a quick look at the situation before shouting and striking out with both palms. A powerful force rushed towards the large black mouth formed by the black mist.
Fan Changhe followed closely behind, also unleashing a powerful force with his palms.
Feng Lingfeng and Fan Changhe were both exceptional masters, and the power of their combined full-force attack was extraordinary.
The mighty force swept towards the black mouth, but surprisingly, it acted like a black hole and actually absorbed the force released by Feng Lingfeng and Fan Changhe.
"What is this thing?" Fan Changhe's face changed dramatically when he saw the power being devoured, and he looked at Feng Lingfeng.
Feng Lingfeng was also incredibly shocked and before she could respond, the black mouth was already upon them.
Feng Lingfeng, Fan Changhe, Song Xiaojia, and Feng'er were practically together, watching the approaching black mouth, yet they were helpless.
Lai Xiaole rushed in after Feng Lingfeng and Fan Changhe, followed by several task force members including Liang Youfa, Dong Zhiwei, and Zheng Nan Nan.
The task force members had never witnessed such a scene and stood frozen. Liang Youfa, however, was more experienced, quickly drawing a gun and firing two shots at the black mouth.
But the bullets shot into the black mouth were even devoured.
"Hell's world, Ghost Lord." Lai Xiaole exclaimed and then shouted, "Feng'er, close the door quickly. We can't let this black mist escape, or it will cause big trouble."
"Hahaha, I didn't expect you, kid, actually knew my name." Upon hearing Lai Xiaole's words, the black mouth suddenly stopped, and a voice came from within.
Lai Xiaole remained silent, gazing seriously at the black mouth. He reached into his pocket, pulled out a few copper coins, and tossed them into the air.
The copper coins seemed to have a life of their own, flying to different positions before landing on the ground.
The copper coins landed upright on the ground without tipping over. Lai Xiaole then formed a seal with his right hand, causing a faint glow to emanate from the copper coins.
"Binding Yin Array." A voice echoed from the black mouth, now filled with intense fear.
"Correct, this is the Binding Yin Array, designed specifically to deal with you." Lai Xiaole's serious expression vanished as he looked at the black mouth.
Feng Lingfeng and Fan Changhe clearly knew about the Binding Yin Array as well, their eyes now fixed on Lai Xiaole.
The black mouth suddenly changed, transforming back into a mass of black mist, with Zhang Wenhui and the golden dragon summoned by Song Xiaojia still trapped inside.
"Two seniors, I can only trap this thing but cannot deal with it." Lai Xiaole said to Feng Lingfeng and Fan Changhe, "I have to ask you two for a way to rescue the trapped Ksitigarbha inside."
Feng Lingfeng, her face still veiled, looked at Fan Changhe.
Fan Changhe smiled wryly and shook his head, saying, "We have no solution either."
Song Xiaojia, who had a deeper connection with Zhang Wenhui than anyone else, and whose summoned dragon was also trapped inside, grew anxious upon hearing there was no solution. She said, "What should we do then?"
Lai Xiaole furrowed his brows, pondering for a while before suddenly looking at the mass of black mist and saying, "Ghost Lord, release Ksitigarbha and the dragon, and I will remove the Binding Yin Array."
