Chapter 64

When Lin Feng activated the Twenty-Four Celestial Arhats Formation, the battle immediately turned one-sided.

The twenty-four Golden Light Arhats, each possessing the power of the Foundation Establishment stage, surrounded the dozen or so fierce ghosts and gave them a thorough beating.

These ghostly entities, whether in individual combat or group combat, were no match for the Golden Light Arhats. Now, being restrained by the Buddhist light, they could only exert eighty percent of their full strength. The outcome of the battle was naturally without any doubt.

Sikong Nan watched as the ghosts he had refined were killed one by one, and he cried out in pain.

"You young whelp, I will never rest until I have your life!"

Sikong Nan's expression was fierce, and he clasped his hands together in front of his chest, forming a magical seal. Black mist continuously gathered, gradually compressing into a black light sphere.

The few remaining ghosts let out piercing screams, their eyes glowing red, and they shot their red light towards the black light sphere in front of Sikong Nan's chest.

The red light continuously merged into the black light sphere, making it increasingly dark and heavy.

As the red light continued to be emitted, the few ghosts became increasingly weak, as if their strength had been drained.

Lin Feng thought to himself, "He seems to be using a secret technique to sacrifice these few ghosts to complete some kind of secret method."

Thinking of this, Lin Feng waved his hand, and the twenty-four Golden Light Arhats joined their hands in prayer, the golden light above their heads merging into a golden cloud.

Lin Feng had no intention of waiting for his opponent to build up a powerful move and then engage in a decisive battle. The right strategy was to strike in the middle of the river, before the crossing was complete!

The golden cloud was filled with Buddhist chants, and a beam of golden light shot out, transforming into a giant golden wheel that smashed down on Sikong Nan's head!

Sikong Nan glared and shouted, "Young whelp, dare you! Receive my Ghost King Cannon!"

A thick, blood-red beam of light shot out from the black light sphere, surrounded by black light, with a terrifying aura.

The golden wheel and the blood-red beam collided with a deafening silence, but invisible shockwaves radiated out from the point of impact, spreading in all directions.

Even the golden light mist of the Buddhist light formation was continuously pushed back by the shockwaves.

Invisible waves swept through the entire valley, causing the towering ancient trees to sway, countless plants to be uprooted, and sand and stones to fly. Even the hard rock walls showed cracks.

The blood-red beam was not shattered by the golden wheel, nor was the golden wheel damaged. The two powerful forces were evenly matched in the air, creating a deadlock.

Seeing this, Sikong Nan was filled with hatred: "Cunning young whelp, if I had completed this technique, I would have surely shattered your Buddhist power."

"I hate it! With such severe injuries, not only has my cultivation dropped, but I can't even use many powerful techniques. Otherwise, even at my current Foundation Establishment stage, killing you would be like killing a dog!"

Sikong Nan roared in his heart, "If you fall into my hands, I will burn your divine soul as lamp oil!"

Lin Feng, however, remained calm and nodded calmly, "You have some skills."

His calm demeanor only added to Sikong Nan's frustration.

"But, you are still far from me." Lin Feng formed a seal with his hands, and the twenty-four Arhats responded, chanting together, "My Buddha is merciful!"

The golden wheel immediately shone brightly, forcefully advancing, pressing the blood-red beam back.

The wheel's advance was not fast, but it was steady and unstoppable, filled with an indomitable and invincible force!

If I say I will crush you, I will crush you!

Sikong Nan's expression changed drastically; he could no longer speak, only struggling to resist. But in the face of the golden wheel's overwhelming pressure, he seemed helpless, like a flickering candle in the wind, about to be extinguished at any moment.

Lin Feng, however, was not done yet. He pressed his advantage, knowing that a dead enemy is the best enemy.

Letting the twenty-four relics support the formation, Lin Feng's cultivation had already shifted from Buddhist power to the Nine Heavens Thunder Righteousness Law's thunder power.

Thunder, the most powerful and swift force in heaven and earth, is the bane of all ghosts, specifically designed to counter ghostly evil techniques.

Lin Feng clasped his hands together, and lightning essence rapidly gathered around him, forming a giant lightning blade over ten meters long in the air. The violent blue-purple lightning directly turned Sikong Nan's face purple.

At this moment, Sikong Nan felt the light in the sky suddenly darken. The sun had not disappeared, but his field of vision was completely filled with the light of a blue-purple sun.

Nine Heavens Thunder Righteousness Law, derived magical technique, Thunder Blade!

Lin Feng bared his teeth in a smile, "Old ghost, die!"

In Sikong Nan's terrified gaze, the violent lightning blade cut through the air, causing a continuous crackling sound as it descended upon him.

"No!" Sikong Nan was using all his remaining power to resist the golden wheel, leaving him no strength to defend against Lin Feng's blade.

In a wail of despair, Sikong Nan's floating soul was cut in two by Lin Feng's blade.

His lower half was directly shattered by the lightning, and his upper half was covered in countless sparks, exploding continuously, in a pitiful state.

"Young whelp, you are too cruel. I cannot continue to fight like this, or I will lose my life today!"

Sikong Nan glared at Lin Feng with venom, and his remaining soul transformed into a black mist, retreating back into the Yellow Springs Pearl.

Lin Feng frowned, dispelled the Twenty-Four Celestial Arhats Formation, and picked up the Yellow Springs Pearl. He could sense that Sikong Nan's injured soul was rapidly recovering inside the pearl.

"Boy, no matter how arrogant you are, as long as I am in the Yellow Springs Pearl, you cannot kill me!" Sikong Nan's voice came from the pearl, filled with a sinister laugh: "I will settle accounts with you sooner or later, and we will see who will laugh last!"

Lin Feng glanced at the Yellow Springs Pearl indifferently, drew a talisman in the air, and placed it on the pearl: "Without a doubt, the one who will laugh last is me. As for you, hehe!"

Sikong Nan's laughter abruptly stopped, as if someone had suddenly grabbed his throat. After a while, his voice, filled with rage, came out: "What did you do? How could you possibly cut off the connection between the Yellow Springs Pearl and me?"

"This... This is the Heavenly Cage Seal of the Great Void Temple? How could you possibly know the secret techniques of the Great Void Temple? Aren't you a practitioner of Buddhist techniques?"

"Knowing both the sacred techniques of the Buddhist and Daoist sects, who are you?"

Lin Feng ignored the now deranged Sikong Nan, put away the Yellow Springs Pearl, and used the Black Cloud Banner to wrap himself and the still unconscious Wang Lin, leaving the valley.

Lin Feng tried to use his power to awaken Wang Lin, but there was no response.

He frowned, carefully examined, and found that Wang Lin's soul was also trapped inside the Yellow Springs Pearl.

"I must quickly retrieve his soul. Without cultivation, if his soul remains outside his body for too long, he won't be able to return." Lin Feng flew with the Black Cloud Banner: "The Heavenly Cage Seal can only temporarily seal that old ghost. Keeping him around is a potential threat. I need to find a place to resolve this issue completely."
