he should be fine.” Lu Wushuang shook his head. “Qingcheng’s injuries need treatment, let’s return to Xiangdu first.”"I went to Xiangdu, but it was no use. I'll just stay at Wushang Lake for now. If t...In a mere instant, the number of skeletons that were originally less than ten thousand had swelled to over one hundred thousand. Looking around, one could only see a sea of densely packed skeletal soldiers. The lotus avatar was now completely surrounded.

When the backstage ghosts felt confident of victory, Lotus's avatar's eyes held a touch more coldness and killing intent.

This creature's power is quite considerable. If the other side were merely playing around, controlling only a few thousand skeletons, the slight fluctuations in their spells would be negligible in this place where the stench of death permeates the air.

Even a lotus flower incarnation couldn't lock onto the opponent's location.

The lotus avatar looked like it was struggling to break free, dashing left and right, but it wasn't truly unable to break through the opponent's skeleton army.

It's just that this ghost creature put so much effort into dealing with him. If they don't give the other side a hard hit and cripple it in one fell swoop, who knows what kind of trouble will come later.

Even if the lotus avatar leaves this place, the ghosts behind the scenes will most likely not give up. Within this ghost realm, the lotus avatar doesn't feel that it can completely shake off the other party. This guy can control low-level skeletons, and for the lotus avatar to completely escape their notice is no easy feat.

It's too unlikely to completely avoid the other party, so it might as well be a one-time solution. It's just that this process will be relatively dangerous.

However, judging from the current situation, Lotus Avatar's plan has largely succeeded. The opponent controlling thousands of skeletons managed to conceal them extremely well, and their constantly shifting positions made it impossible for Lotus Avatar to pinpoint them accurately. Although Lotus Avatar’s futile killing spree seemed to cause some emotional fluctuations in the other party.

The backstage ghost sensed the opportune moment and decided to stop prolonging the conflict with the lotus avatar. The greater its power, the more fluctuations it would cause.

As the opponent intensified their attacks on the lotus avatar, the lotus avatar vaguely sensed the general location of the ghost.

Tens of thousands of skeletal soldiers were arrayed in formation, layer upon layer, charging towards the lotus avatar. Bonespears and bone arrows flew from their ranks, forming a deadly rain.

There are no gaps. Even a powerful cultivator at the Divine Soul realm would have to pay a heavy price to break free from this dangerous environment.

The lotus avatar wasn't thinking about how to break free from the start to finish. This mysterious ghost's strength wasn't weak, and the lotus avatar didn't even think about defeating the army of tens of thousands, or even more, skeletons with its own power. At the same time, it also had to deal with this hidden mysterious enemy.

Attack the horse before attacking the man, capture the king before capturing the thief. As long as you solve this insidious fellow hiding in the shadows, the predicament before you will naturally be resolved.

As countless skeletons piled up, the Lotus Bodhisattva remained calm and collected, forming hand seals.

A surge of sword intent surrounded him. With each sword strike, a sword inscription appeared in the void, and suddenly, a ghostly image of a sword tablet materialized. This ghostly image was incomplete in places, with varying sizes of gaps, but these flaws did not diminish its power in the slightest.

This is a test.

The imposing and majestic sword intent unfurled, when the phantom of the sword tablet pressed down, the surrounding space seemed to have an extra layer of mysterious constraint. The over six thousand skeletons within this area were cut into countless pieces under the crisscrossing sword intent.

A ghostly figure darted out from amongst several unassuming skeletons, its eyes wide with alarm as it gazed up at the spectral sword inscription above.

A hum! The shadow darted rapidly, wanting to escape this dangerous and unpredictable place as quickly as possible. However, after only a short distance, it was bounced back by the sword intent barrier condensed from the phantom of the sword tablet.

"Damn it, what the hell is this thing Even a Xuan Tian Immortal Artifact wouldn't have such terrifying power," You Ying cursed in a low voice. Seeing his breakout blocked, he immediately shifted to another direction.

The results are naturally the same as before.

>

“This friend of the human race, we can be considered acquainted through fighting. If we continue like this, we're both likely to be seriously injured and neither will benefit. Why not let me go We can then live in peace afterward” After being blocked once again, You Ying felt a pang of worry and asked Lianhua’s clone for peace.

“When one is strong, they want to completely eradicate their enemies. When one is weak, they want to lay down their arms and make peace. Is there such a good thing in the world” The lotus avatar shook its head.

“I can still muster an army of hundreds of thousands of skeletons. Do you think you can stand against my entire skeletal army with just your own strength” Yin Ying said coldly, “If you really want to fight to the death, I may be seriously injured, but in the end, it will be you who is defeated and dies!”

“With my abilities, I naturally can't fight you and hundreds of thousands of skeleton soldiers at the same time. However, you are already trapped within my sword intent barrier. This barrier has completely severed its connection with the outside world. You wanting to command your troops outside the sword intent barrier is like a fool's dream. With just you, you are not my opponent. It would have been fine if you had listened to my warning and retreated before. Since you harbor ill intentions, then I will take your life.”

A lotus blossom split would not be intimidated by the opponent. The previous display of weakness was just to lure them into this moment, right now they're already within the sword intent barrier. To still dare to threaten him, truly ignorant of their own mortality!

The lotus avatar extended a finger, and the sword stele's phantom slowly began to press down on the shadowy figure.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The phantom naturally wouldn't just sit back and wait for death. It continuously spat out several strands of ghastly white ghostly energy toward the sword stele's illusory shadow. However, before they could get close to the sword stele's illusory shadow, they were shattered by the sword intent that rippled outwards from it.

However, Youying's counterattack was not entirely useless. At least to some extent, it delayed the speed of Jianbei's virtual shadow approaching him. Youying also successfully avoided the other party.

The lotus-formed avatar's eyes flashed. At this time, although the outside army of skeletons was blocked by the sword intent barrier and had lost the direct command of the phantom, most of them fell into a state of disorder. Still, some continued to attack the sword intent barrier, naturally putting some pressure on him.

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

Both sides remained in a stalemate, which was undeniably detrimental to him. It seemed that Shadow was also employing a strategy of delay and attrition.

The lotus avatar let out a cold snort. The other party had played a good hand, but they needed him to cooperate for it to work.

>

The lotus avatar stretched out its hand, its fingers pointing as it sent out the seven great suppressing swords: Zhen Yin, Zhen Shan, Zhen Hai, and Zhen Yang.

The Seven Town Swords, while not particularly powerful against a lotus avatar at this stage, could form a complete sword formation. Their offensive capabilities might be lacking, but they were perfect for defense and encirclement.

Just as before, Youying dodged the pursuit of the Jianbei phantom. With agile movements to the left and right, it was soon blocked by the Zhenyang Sword. Youying unleashed a blast of ghost energy, which stalemate with the Zhenyang Sword. This powerful flying sword couldn't inflict much damage on him.

But just as You Ying was about to brush past the Zhen Yang Sword, it was blocked by the Zhen Yin, Zhen Hai Swords. Several sword intents came from behind him, and when he reacted, he had already fallen into the encirclement of the Seven Town Swords.

"Damn it!" A wave of panic surged through Shadow as he cursed, for the might of the Sword Monument's phantom was unfathomable. Even the mere sliver of its power emanating outward sent chills down his spine.

With his advantage in speed and his elusive movements, as long as he doesn't let the Sacred Sword Monument directly suppress him, he should be fine.

> But now the seven towns' swords restrict his speed and range of movement.

As long as he doesn't rush out of the sword formation, his area of activity will inevitably become smaller and smaller. When the encirclement formed by the seven town swords completely tightens, even if the phantom of the sword tablet slows down slightly, it will definitely be able to land right on top of his head.

"Thousand Bones Ghost Jade Kill!" The shadow let out a low growl, and a ferocious aura surged from within. In the blink of an eye, it formed bone corpses with hideous faces, all jade-colored, that charged towards the seven town-guarding swords.

Please note: The original input contained only `

` which is a closing paragraph tag. I have left it as such in the output.

The sword light swirled with astonishing speed, and the jade-colored bone corpse possessed attacks and defenses far superior to most skeletons.

The power of the Seven Town Swords was momentarily unable to completely overcome these bone corpses. However, the copper wall and ironclad barrier formed by the Seven Town Swords remained unshakable. Even though they faced immense resistance and were temporarily unable to advance as swiftly as before, the Nether Shadow was still confined to a relatively small area.

Faced with the approaching phantom of the sword stele, You Ying's heart pounded wildly. This wouldn't work; she couldn't break through for long. Being suppressed by that vast aura of the sword stele was only a matter of time.

Even though he was surrounded, the skeleton army outside had effectively isolated him, limiting his ability to act. Perhaps they couldn't maintain this blockade for long, but he might not last that long either.

The sword cultivator before them had a heart filled with killing intent. Even Yuying wanted to regret it, but it was too late.

As the sword tablet's phantom approached once more, the surrounding space seemed to thicken, making it difficult for the phantom to move. The immense pressure also restricted its soul power, making it increasingly challenging to deploy its abilities.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

With a buzz, the phantom of the sword stele pressed down, forcing the shadowy figure into a corner with no escape. He had no time to command the dozen or so jade-colored bone corpses he had released. The seven Great Sword-Suppressing Stakes pierced through the bone corpses in a flurry, quickly reducing them to shattered fragments.

The Seven Towns' swordsmen, their momentum still undiminished, continued to encircle the Shadowed One.

“No!” The phantom roared in terror. But the sword-inscription’s phantom grew closer, and the pressure on him intensified.

And within the phantom of this sword stele, he felt a terrifying sword intent, something he couldn't withstand. The opponent probably thought that relying on the seven town-guarding swords alone would be enough to deal with him before even unsheathing their own blade.

If I had known this, I wouldn't have come to provoke this terrible fellow.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh, the seven town swords struck one after another. Youying's defense was also excellent; at first, he held on for a while, but he couldn't withstand this continuous attack. The pain from the tearing of his divine consciousness became increasingly intense. In the end, Youying had already lost consciousness and completely fell into these sword intents.

A surge of energy enveloped the area. The lotus avatar absorbed it into its body, but after a moment, a hint of confusion flashed in its eyes. Logically, killing a spirit ghost realm being like this should have yielded far more aura. Could the opponent still have a divine sense elsewhere

The lotus avatar's gaze swept across the surroundings, causing the dense army of skeletons to crumble and disperse. Most began to scatter into piles of bones. However, a small portion started to flee in all directions in utter chaos.

Aha, so that's how it is. The lotus avatar observed for a while and saw the peculiarity. This ghost's individual combat strength is limited, so in order to protect itself, it cultivated the Yin-Yang Ghost Body supernatural power.

Although he had just killed the strongest mother spirit, she could still regenerate by using her child spirits. In this place where ghostly energy was thick, as long as he wasn't hunted down by other powerful enemies, he would still have a chance to return to his former self.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

It might take a bit longer, but at least we managed to save a life.

The lotus avatar stretched out a hand and summoned the sword tablet's phantom image and the seven鎮劍, which respectively disappeared into its body.

This ghostly realm was quite peculiar, even for him to escape from would be difficult. However, the lotus avatar wasn't in a hurry, he wasn't like his true self constantly under pursuit by powerful figures from the Four Heavens Court, needing to use every ounce of his being to survive.

Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Regarding his current situation, he is anxious but helpless. Even if his cultivation breaks through and progresses rapidly now, it would not be of much help to the current predicament.

He also, or perhaps the existence of the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable is more of a backup plan.

Now, as long as you steadily increase your cultivation, it's fine. Even if you kill powerful ghost cultivators in this Ghost Domain, it can still help improve your strength. It's just that staying in this eerie environment isn't very comfortable. But these difficulties are surmountable.

The lotus avatar didn't have a specific goal, wandering aimlessly within the ghost realm. Finding an exit was naturally good, but if there were any treasures that caught its fancy, it wouldn't rush to leave.

After traveling through the Ghost Realm for several days, releasing one's own aura within this realm would likely attract an attack from powerful ghost clans.

Once one fully retracts their own aura, some low-ranking ghosts that don't understand will continue to harass them. They aren't much of a threat, but they are quite bothersome.

There's no such thing as having everything your way. Whether you walk through the underworld or any other place, the difference isn't that significant.

Hissss, a shard of ghastly white bone jutting from the ground, with several shadows flickering within.

"Ghostly Bones" The lotus incarnation's eyes swept across the scene, quickly recognizing the origin of this broken bone. It was the remnant bone left behind by a Shadow Ghost after its demise. Such remnants could function similarly to memory stones, capable of recording events that transpired nearby.

Such shadow ghosts were extremely rare, and a fragmented shadow bone wouldn't be of much use to him. The lotus avatar hadn't paid much attention originally, but when it saw a stunningly beautiful face inside, its figure couldn't help but pause.

Su Qing There are actually people in the world who look so alike. Perhaps it's not an exaggeration to call them identical twins.

As Lianhua's incarnation, the most important of Lu Xia Tian's avatars, Su Qing would naturally be familiar with it.

However, he didn't immediately confirm that it was Su Qing. After all, he had seen others who looked exactly alike.

>

This deity's former disciple, Chi Lin, was a mundane disciple acquired during the Foundation Establishment period. There was also Hong Yue, a disciple of alchemy acquired later in the spirit realm. Both not only looked identical but also shared the same demeanor and personality. The person before her who resembled Su Qing so closely might not necessarily be Su Qing.

At this time, the person within who resembled Su Qing was being chased by several Da Luo Jinxian-level ghost cultivators. It seemed that they were already injured. Although their combat power was still there, with Lotus's split-body's eyesight, she could naturally see that Su Qing's injuries hindered her ability to fully display her strength.

In the absence of any unforeseen interference, this individual resembling Su Qing's downfall, even death, is merely a matter of time.
