Chapter 199: Ghost King Breaks the Seal

Looking at the group of casual cultivators who had gone and returned, Jing Lu's eyes were full of anger.

A group of stupid and greedy fools were fooled by Su Jingtong's little trick.

His plan failed and Su Jingtong and his men escaped in vain. Originally, he planned to catch all the people of the Su family in the mines in one fell swoop to avenge the destruction of the sect.

Although he didn't like this group of casual cultivators, he couldn't turn against them now. There were still places where he could use them.

Jing Lu took the storage ring handed over by the scholar and divided the ten thousand red blood spirit crystals in it among all the robbery cultivators present.

"I have paid you the benefits I promised you. There may be a lot of good things in the courtyard and mines of the mining area. It depends on you to find them. Whoever gets it first will get it."

"Remember, when looking for things, destroy everything that cannot be taken away, and it is best to blow up the mines."

The eyes of the casual cultivators lit up when they heard this, and they flew towards the courtyard below.

Jing Lu stood in the air, quietly watching the robbery cultivators rushing into the courtyard.

Just now, the souls of many miners disappeared inexplicably, which made him feel a little uneasy. He did not rush into the courtyard with the casual cultivators, but retreated a few miles.

When the robbery cultivators entered the courtyard, something strange happened.

The open space in the center of the courtyard suddenly collapsed.

A huge round pit with a diameter of more than three feet and a bottomless depth suddenly appeared.

A majestic resentment mixed with a grim ghost aura, like a black vortex, quickly rotated and rose from the deep pit, straight into the sky.

Suddenly, the wind rolled and the clouds surged, and a sharp and piercing ghost roar suddenly sounded.

A huge ghost creature about ten feet tall rushed out of the deep pit.

He was wrapped in black armor, and a strange red light shone through the gaps in the eyes of his helmet.

He held a nearly two-meter-long giant sword in his hand, which was dark and full of ghost energy.

It was like a fierce ghost general who had walked out of the battlefield of hell after experiencing endless fighting.

As soon as the black-armored ghost creature appeared, the whole courtyard was howling with gloomy winds and resentment.

Seeing this, all the robbery cultivators were terrified. The powerful oppression from the ghost king that was directly against the Jindan cultivators made them unable to raise the slightest resistance, and they all flew away in all directions on their swords.

The black-armored ghost king was like a beast that had been released, with bloodshot eyes and endless murderous intent.

It needed to kill, and it wanted to use killing to vent the endless resentment accumulated in the past thirty years of being sealed.

The Black-armored Ghost King grabbed the nearest Tribulation Cultivator with one palm. Before this Tribulation Cultivator in the early stage of foundation building could react, he was torn into two halves by the Black-armored Ghost King's claws.

The Black-armored Ghost King casually took out all the internal organs, then threw them into his mouth.

Its soul body was like a physical entity. After a few simple chews, it swallowed the internal organs into its stomach.

As if it had eaten some kind of delicacy, its eyes flashed with dazzling red light.

Its body moved and turned into a residual image. The wind was cold and the speed was extremely fast. It seemed like teleportation. In the blink of an eye, it was next to another Tribulation Cultivator.

In the panicked eyes of the Tribulation Cultivator, the ten-foot-tall ghost opened its bloody mouth and bit the upper half of his body directly into its mouth.

Endless ghost energy and resentment poured into the body of the Tribulation Cultivator. The Tribulation Cultivator instantly became cold all over, his limbs were stiff, and he couldn't even use his spiritual power to resist.

The black-armored ghost king bit him in half, and the upper half of his body, along with his soul, was swallowed by the ghost king.

......

Jing Lu looked at the slaughter below, and a bone-chilling chill rose in his heart. He turned and fled far away.

He couldn't help but secretly feel lucky that he had discovered the abnormality of this place in advance and did not rush into the courtyard, otherwise his fate would not be much better than other casual cultivators.

"Is this the ghost king that was sealed by the ancestor of the Su family as rumored? Why is he only a pseudo-third-level strength, as if there is no power in his soul pill?"

"Could it be that the power of this ghost king has not been fully restored, and he only has a third-level soul body but no soul pill?"

Thinking of this, Jing Lu, who had already escaped several miles away, slowed down his sword speed and turned to look at the black-armored ghost who was still chasing the robber cultivator.

As soon as the Su family members left, the ghost king who had been sealed for many years broke the seal and came out.

This was obviously done intentionally by the Su family.

Jing Lu's eyes moved, and he smelled a great opportunity.

If he could get this ghost king, his strength would be greatly enhanced. It can even be said that he would have no rivals among the foundation-building cultivators.

He lowered his flying sword and flew to the dense forest below.

After entering the dense forest, Jing Lu restrained his breath and found a place to hide.

The Su family could not leave the black-armored ghost king alone. They would definitely come to clean up the mess, either to subdue it, kill it or reseal it.

Jing Lu decided to take a risk and see if he could have a chance to seize the ghost.

He was quite confident in his breath-holding method. As long as the Su family's Jindan ancestor did not come in person, it would be difficult for other people in the Su family to discover his existence.

If he could not find a suitable opportunity to seize the ghost, he would not show up, which would only waste a little time.

......

As Jing Lu expected, when the black-armored ghost king slaughtered all the robbery cultivators, the five people of the Su family came on swords.

Since the ghost king was chasing the robbery cultivators and had already left the formation, they had to try to lead the ghost king into the formation first.

He said to the four clan members behind him.

"Follow me."

Before he finished speaking, he flew towards the yard first.

The appearance of the five people from the Su family naturally attracted the attention of the Black Armor Ghost King.

The Black Armor Ghost King rolled up the dark wind and pounced on the five people.

The two sides were still far apart when Su Jingtong threw the black flag into the air.

Instantly, the flag turned into a ghost flag that was ten feet high. The flag on it suddenly extended and became longer, like a retractable ribbon, rolling towards the black-armored ghost king.

The previously arrogant black-armored ghost king was surrounded by flags and could not break out for a while.

"Quick, the four of you enter the formation around the formation and form a formation to cooperate with me to activate the formation. My cultivation level cannot activate this ghost flag for a long time." Su Jingtong shouted loudly.

The four Su family foundation-building cultivators followed his words and flew to the four corners of the yard on their swords.

A few miles away, Jing Lu looked at this scene from afar, his face full of surprise, and there was a hint of eagerness in his eyes.

"Top-grade ghost spiritual weapon!"

The black-armored ghost king had been sealed in the underground formation for more than 30 years. He had just broken the seal and was trapped by the ghost flag. Naturally, he was furious, and his blood-red eyes were filled with murderous intent.

The ghost energy was surging all over his body, like the raging waves in the deep sea, constantly washing the banners surrounding him.

The banners were like small boats in the sea, swept by the wind and waves, and in just a few breaths, they were submerged by the ghost energy.

But this bought precious time for the Su family members, and they were already in their positions.

Su Jingtong stood in the air directly above the center of the courtyard, and the other four people had reached the four corners of the courtyard.

The ghost banner turned into a small black flag again and fell beside Su Jingtong.
