Chapter 765: Counterattack
“Dang! Dang! Dang!”
The giant sword and the black dragon knife collided intensively, causing sparks to burst out, illuminating the dark abyss.
The Black Dragon Sword was blocked, and Qi Gui's five men were able to escape. A trace of blood escaped and was sucked away by the five flags.
The skull sticking out from the flag grew bigger and bigger, and the death tentacles it extended grew thicker and longer.
Under Qi Gui's command, the five eighth-grade true immortals finally used their own blood and vitality to nourish and strengthen the skull, and the power of the secret technique increased greatly.
Fourteen thick and long death tentacles stretched out into the cave that was like boiling magma and a raging sea of blood.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
A wave of blood filled with blazing vitality slammed against the death tentacles.
The death tentacles were constantly broken and swallowed by the blood waves.
The vitality of the Qi and blood in Qin Ziling's cave was so strong and intense that even if he had to divide his strength to resist Ximen Jingli and a half-immortal-level bone jade talisman, he could still release the power of Qi and blood to hold back the big ring knife and defeat the fourteen death tentacles that had invaded the cave.
Seeing that he still couldn't do anything to Qin Ziling, Qi Gui's eyes turned completely blood red, revealing a look of madness.
Visible traces of blood emanated from his body, dyeing the space where he was red.
The blood was sucked into the nostrils of the nine skulls.
The aura of the nine skulls became eerie and powerful.
The rolling power of death surged out and condensed into nine increasingly thick and condensed death tentacles, continuing to explore into Qin Ziling's cave.
Qi Gui finally even used his own blood and energy to feed the skull and increase the power of his secret technique.
“Boom!”
The blood waves roared and slammed into the fourteen thick death tentacles.
The fourteen thick death tentacles were not defeated this time, but continued to penetrate deeper and spread in the sea of blood.
The crimson sea of blood began to turn dark red, with dark lines spreading inside it, stretching in all directions, like a parasite crawling all over a tree trunk, with its roots deeply embedded in the trunk, constantly absorbing nutrients from the trunk.
Almost at the same time, death tentacles emerged from the bottom of the blood sea and entangled with the death tentacles that stretched into the blood sea from the outside.
The two continued to entwine and merge, not only appearing to be growing stronger, but the death tentacles that stretched out from the bottom of the blood sea were like ivy, constantly entwining and spreading along the death tentacles that probed into the cave to the fourteen skulls.
The battle became more and more intense.
Shang Minxiu and others saw that Qi Gui and his men had successfully performed a secret method to root the death tentacles into Qin Ziling's cave, continuously absorbing vitality and converting it into death power. They were worried that they would fail, so they launched more fierce attacks.
The essence and blood gushed out continuously as if they were free, turning into blood talismans and sinking into the Taoist treasure. Even the half-immortal-level bone jade Taoist talisman that Shang Minxiu had been reluctant to use was released, completely suppressing Qin Ziling to prevent him from using up his strength to break free from the death tentacles.
Once he breaks free from the death tentacles, with his strength, if he insists on escaping, they will definitely not be able to stop him!
The four great masters, plus ten powerful eighth-grade true immortals and two half-immortal-level bone jade talismans, all burst out with their strongest power, and even risked their lives, vowing to keep Qin Ziling in this forbidden abyss.
Under the attack of many strong men, the situation of Qin Ziling gradually became critical. He let out a few roars like a trapped beast from time to time. The terrifying power kept surging out of his body like a volcanic eruption. He tried again and again to get rid of the siege of the crowd, but was eventually forcibly suppressed.
In the fierce fighting, no one noticed that black fog was rolling around.
In the black fog, human figures were flying like ghosts from all directions and approaching the battle site, forming one layer of encirclement after another. The number of people reached ninety-seven.
The tentacles of death are still spreading, the sea of blood in the cave has completely turned dark red, and the blood waves are no longer as turbulent as before.
Qi Gui felt that the power of death had taken root deep into the cave and spread throughout the entire cave. He finally couldn't help but burst into laughter triumphantly: "Haha! Boy, your death will come soon!"
"Qi Gui, you are wrong. Your death is coming soon!" Qin Ziling said with a sarcastic look on his face.
"Haha, kid, you definitely don't understand the power of my secret technique! Once my secret technique penetrates your flesh and blood, it will be like a thorn in your flesh, constantly absorbing your blood and vitality , leaving you with no way to get rid of it.
You are indeed very powerful, but unfortunately you are too conceited. You even dare to release the cave heaven and want to defeat my death power with your own energy and vitality!
But don't you think about it, two fists cannot beat four hands. No matter how powerful you are, you are not a Taoist immortal after all. How can you withstand the siege of so many of us who are half-Tao immortals?
Now, my secret technique has taken root in your cave and is becoming increasingly powerful. Your blood and qi will soon dry up, and you won't be able to make many waves anymore!" Qi Gui said proudly, his eyes becoming completely sunken as he stared at Qin Ziling proudly, wanting to see his horrified expression to relieve his hatred.
In this battle, not only did he lose a lot of energy, blood and vitality, but he also sacrificed a bone jade talisman that he had been reluctant to use. The price he paid was extremely huge.
"What a mystery life and death, yin and yang. You are just using the magic technique to transform life and death. You don't understand the true mystery of life and death, yin and yang at all. How dare you say that you have rooted the power of death in my cave? It's ridiculous." Qin Ziling curled his lips into a disdainful sneer.
"You are the ridiculous one. Death is the secret of the underworld. Since ancient times, how many people have been able to truly explore the mystery? My Nether Blood Sect's ancestor is a genius. He created this secret method through the interdependence of life and death!
You are just a True Immortal, yet you dare to claim that you understand the true mysteries of life and death, yin and yang, do you think you are more powerful than my ancestor of the Nether Blood Sect?" Qi Gui said with a face full of sarcasm.
"There is no point in saying more. Today I will show you the true path of life and death! By the way, I have to say thank you to you!" After Qin Ziling said this, he smiled at Qi Gui.
This smile was full of weirdness in Qi Gui's eyes, making him feel inexplicably creepy. An unprecedented sense of crisis surged in his heart, but he couldn't tell what the problem was.
At this moment, Qi Gui suddenly saw death tentacles suddenly emerging from Qin Ziling's sea of blood.
Those death tentacles were like black pythons, entwining around the death tentacles they had cast using secret magic.
Their death tentacles were growing rapidly.
"not good!"
Qi Gui and his five men's faces suddenly changed, and they subconsciously activated their secret techniques, trying to take back the death power they had released.
This power of death is the result of their years of practicing secret techniques to devour the qi, blood and vitality of others as well as their own qi, blood and vitality. Their own qi, blood and vitality have their mark on them, building a bridge between them and the power of death, allowing them to practice this secret technique.
Therefore, this power of death is just like the magical power of immortals. It is the result of their years of practice. Once it is lost, their loss will be absolutely huge.
But just as Qi Gui and his five subordinates activated the secret technique, his expression suddenly changed again and his pupils dilated instantly.
Because as they withdrew the power of death, waves of purer death power actually rushed up and pierced into their flesh and blood.
The surging blood and vitality flowed from their bodies along the black death tentacles and back to Qin Ziling's cave.
The bodies of Qi Gui and his five men shrank rapidly.
