Chapter 625: No Success
The black sword energy was extremely sharp and powerful, and suddenly surged out from the stone sword, rushing towards the mid-stage ghost of the life god below.
However, no matter how strong the black sword energy was, it almost did not emit any fluctuations and breath after it appeared. The entire sword energy did not cause any abnormal phenomenon at all, and it was low-key to a terrifying degree. Therefore, although it blasted towards the fierce ghost, the fierce ghost was still unaware and continued to move forward in a daze.
Shortly after the sword energy appeared, a layer of green light curtain rose outside the sword energy, tightly wrapping the dark sword energy. At the same time, a force belonging to the dragon was revealed in the green light, which made the sword energy sharper and faster.
Outside the tree hole, the floating "shadow" held the stone sword steadily, still motionless, as if it did not exist at all, quietly waiting for everything that was about to happen.
Then, when the black sword energy flew halfway, its aura became more fierce, just like a poisonous snake suddenly showing its fangs, and started a real attack.
At this time, the fierce ghost in the middle stage of the life god finally noticed something, his body trembled slightly, and suddenly turned his face towards the direction of the sword energy.
With this turn, the fierce ghost finally saw the sword energy rushing towards him. A trace of horror emerged in his soulless eyes in a very human way. The low roar in the fierce ghost's mouth subconsciously became stronger, and it immediately stimulated the power of cultivation in his body, obviously wanting to resist the flying sword energy.
Above the black shadow floating in the air, a row of white teeth was quietly exposed again. He knew that the fierce ghost's reaction now was within his plan. And it was precisely because he reacted that the sword energy was now blasting towards his forehead, without bias.
Below, a thin layer of energy shield soon appeared outside the fierce ghost, and the light was rapidly strengthened as it circulated, obviously trying to resist the sudden killing intent.
However, the time left for him to prepare was too little. So, in just a moment, the black sword energy brought the green light outside and hit the energy shield outside the fierce ghost.
The fierce ghost in the middle stage of the life god was really strong, and the protective measures he activated in such an emergency were also very strong. After the sword energy came, it could not penetrate the energy shield instantly, but a short stalemate occurred.
However, this stalemate did not last long. The green light outside the sword energy was strong, and then began to dissipate gradually, and the energy shield outside the fierce ghost also dissipated with it.
Obviously, the power of the dragon began to play a role at this time. And its role is very simple, which is to offset the temporary protective measures of the fierce ghost. All this has been predicted by the floating black shadow.
Finally, the green light outside the sword energy completely dissipated, and a hole was drilled in the energy shield outside the fierce ghost. The hole was not big, but it was just enough for the sword energy to rush up and steadily pierce the fierce ghost's eyebrows!
"Puff!" A very subtle sound, like a needle piercing a haystack. At the fierce ghost's eyebrows, the black sword energy suddenly disappeared, leaving only an inconspicuous black dot where it disappeared, without even a drop of blood.
"Explode!" In the air, the black shadow whispered in his heart.
The power of the sword energy that was completely poured into the fierce ghost's brain was in place, and at this moment, just like the first ray of light in the darkness came so suddenly, the power of the sword energy suddenly exploded.
The arrival of the early sun was enough to easily tear apart the deep night. The night-tearing sword energy was also enough to instantly blast open the fierce ghost's head.
The black sword energy that was originally in the fierce ghost's brain suddenly emitted a tyrannical force at this moment, and even stimulated a strong light. Although all the light was in the ghost's brain, at this moment, a strong white light burst out from the ghost's seven orifices at the same time.
Especially in the ghost's soulless eyes, it was bright at this moment, looking extremely weird. Then, with a "bang", the ghost's head exploded, carrying a large amount of red and white things, shooting towards the surroundings of the entire dense forest.
And with the explosion of the ghost's head, a strong white light finally appeared, and the fluctuation and breath of the Night-tearing Sword Qi were finally revealed at this moment.
However, "Lu Xin"'s previous thoughts were not wrong. Before the ghost was killed, it subconsciously resisted the power of the Night-tearing again. Although the resistance in the brain seemed extremely weak, it played a role in suppressing the fluctuation and breath of the Night-tearing Sword Qi.
So even if the power of the Night-tearing Sword Qi was finally revealed at this moment, the momentum was not too great, leaving "Lu Xin" with a little time.
This time was used by "Lu Xin" to observe and obtain the brain core and hide his body again.
"Lu Xin" was still like a black shadow at this moment, but his eyes suddenly projected a sharp light, looking towards the exploding head of the fierce ghost.
A moment of time was enough for "Lu Xin" to see everything he wanted to see. Then, he suddenly sighed heavily, shook his head, and floated out gently, but he did not return to the previous tree hole, but returned to another tree hole he had found long ago.
As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. "Lu Xin" is not stupid either. He has already found several hiding places for himself. And these places are where he will change to hide after each assassination. After all, if he stays in the same place all the time, he will inevitably be discovered by the fierce ghost.
As "Lu Xin" floated out, the roars of fierce ghosts began to sound around the entire forest. Obviously, the fierce ghosts around finally discovered the fluctuations and abnormalities here, so they began to rush here.
The speed of the fierce ghosts' arrival was extremely fast, especially because this place was close to the central area of the fierce ghost forest, so these fierce ghosts with high cultivation rushed here with the power of cultivation, and the speed was even more amazing.
In a short while, more than a dozen fierce ghosts gathered next to the body of the fierce ghost in the middle stage of the life god who had just died. There were low roars in their mouths, and the power of cultivation and induction was even more crazy. Obviously, they wanted to find out where the source of the accident was.
However, at this time, "Lu Xin" had already floated to a tree hole more than 30 feet away and sank into the darkness again. No matter how the fierce ghosts searched, it was in vain.
The restlessness of the fierce ghosts lasted for a whole half day. Until the last batch of fierce ghosts retreated helplessly, "Lu Xin" hiding in the dark finally let go of his heart and breathed a sigh of relief.
"The assassination went perfectly." Xue Buping praised in his mind.
"It's a pity that the brain core was not found this time. This is not a good sign." "Lu Xin" responded somewhat helplessly. He was very worried that if the brain core did not appear in the brain of the fierce ghost in the middle stage of the life god, then the assassination he planned would be meaningless no matter how perfect it was.
"Young man, be patient. Impetuousness will not do anything good." With a preaching tone, Xue Buping sent a message again, which made "Lu Xin" feel a little speechless.
Shaking his head, "Lu Xin" changed the subject and said, "Ancestor, did you notice that at the moment when the ghost's head was blown up, there seemed to be a breath erupting at the same time, which was very strange."
After a short silence, Xue Buping responded, "Well, there was a force similar to vitality. In my opinion, that force is probably the source of the ghost's survival, and it is also very similar to the rhythm we have always discovered. But, I don't know what this thing is and what it does."
"Maybe that thing is the key to supporting the existence of these ghosts. I can feel that there is a strong fluctuation in the deeper place, and the rhythm of that fluctuation is very similar to the rhythm of these ghosts and the surrounding woods. There must be something in the center of this ghost forest, and that should be the core of the entire ghost forest." Hearing Xue Buping's response, "Lu Xin" touched his chin and thought.
"Forget it, don't worry about that, just focus on finding your brain core and leave quickly. This place is really weird, and I don't want to stay here any longer." Finally, Xue Buping sighed and said his truest thoughts.
With a bitter smile, "Lu Xin" also felt that this fierce ghost forest was full of weirdness and wanted to leave as soon as possible. So, he adjusted his state again, slowly and completely merged with the surroundings, and began to plan the next assassination.
