Chapter 3975 Buddhism, Taoism and Demons

The reason I was able to tell that the old ghost in front of me was a top-grade ghost immortal was because I could sense the power of this ghost. However, the moment it appeared, a cold wind rose, and the scarlet evil aura it transformed into was surrounded by a faint golden light. Only a top-grade ghost immortal could exhibit such a state.

As soon as the ghost immortal appeared, Peng Lingxiao stopped in his tracks, clearly wary of him.

At that moment, I felt someone else beside me. I turned around and saw that it was Kassan who had come over.

"Kasang, who is this ghost immortal? He seems very powerful." I grabbed Kasang's arm.

“He’s definitely strong. This ghost immortal’s name is Fang Tianru. He’s been a ghost for several hundred years and has been enshrined in a temple for generations. He has received incense offerings and has already acquired a part of the divine status. This old ghost from Jinling City is an old friend of Brother Yu. It’s very likely that Brother Yu gave him a heads-up beforehand and asked him to come and help.” Kasang was also a little excited when he saw the old ghost.

"Why is this old ghost so powerful that he can become a ghost immortal?" I was still very curious.

"It's a long story. This old ghost was executed along with his entire clan of ten, and none of his relatives or friends survived. He himself was also executed by slow slicing, so he harbored deep resentment. Later generations, remembering his loyalty and courage, placed his memorial tablet in a temple for worship, where he has enjoyed the incense offerings of the people for generations. He also protected the peace of the people in the area, so his status was similar to that of the local city god. Now that people from Yiguandao are causing trouble outside Jinling City, it's not surprising that he has appeared," Kasang explained to me again.

Hearing Kassan's explanation, I understood. With this old ghost's help, we might not necessarily lose to Peng Lingxiao.

"Lord Fang, you've arrived just in time." Ge Yu turned to look at the old ghost.

“We’re good brothers, right? It’s unacceptable for them to cause trouble on my turf. Today, let’s join forces and deal with these evil cultists.” The old ghost said with a smug look on his face.

"I didn't expect that the dignified leader of the Maoshan Sect would actually send an old ghost to help. I think the Maoshan Sect is not so great after all. Take this!" Peng Lingxiao was the first to attack. He raised his magic sword and the bluestone slabs on the ground flew up and crashed towards Ge Yu with terrifying power.

Before Ge Yu could move, the old ghost Lord Fang, holding an imperial jade tablet, slammed it down on the flying stone slabs. Instantly, a powerful force burst forth, intercepting the stone slabs.

The power of this sword strike was terrifying. It cleaved a deep trench in the ground, and the huge bluestone slabs exploded in mid-air, turning into dust. Fang Tianru was also thrown backward a distance by the force of the blow.

At this moment, Ge Yu suddenly made his move. With a wave of his hand, the small swords hanging on the Maoshan Nine Star Sword were detached from the blade. Moreover, flames were rising from the nine small swords, and the fire was raging. As soon as they flew out, I felt that it was difficult to breathe.

The flames on the nine small swords, like nine fire dragons, crashed towards Peng Lingxiao at an extremely fast speed.

Honestly, when I saw Ge Yu's move, the first thing that came to mind was the slovenly Taoist's Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

Even with the addition of the two golden talismans unleashing the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire, its power still cannot compare to the blazing flames on any of Ge Yu's small sword strikes. That's the difference.

Watching Ge Yu make a move fills me with exhilaration. He is the youngest Immortal Realm expert in China, and his strength is truly extraordinary.

When Ge Yu unleashed his sword strike, Peng Lingxiao countered with equal force. As he swung his magic sword, a surge of powerful sword energy extinguished the flames on the nine small swords with ease. Not only that, but the powerful sword energy also scattered the small swords, sending them flying and embedding them deeply into the ground.

With a wave of his hand, the nine swords simultaneously emitted a trembling sound, rose from the ground, and returned to the main sword in Ge Yu's hand.

The next moment, the Ghost Immortal Fang made another move. With a flicker, a chilling wind swept around him, and his body transformed into more than a dozen scarlet malevolent energies, all of which turned into scarlet vortexes that swept towards Peng Lingxiao in different directions.

Under the cover of the Ghost Immortal Lord Fang, Ge Yu suddenly unleashed auras of various colors, including black demonic energy, golden Buddhist light, and the righteous energy of Taoism, all of which were concentrated on him alone.

Once all three energies were unleashed, Ge Yu was no longer just a beginner immortal; his strength instantly soared to the third level.

The dignified leader of the Maoshan Sect actually possessed such powerful demonic energy, far more concentrated than the demonic energy of the Black Demon God he gave me.

What surprised me even more was that Ge Yu was also enveloped in Buddhist light. It was hard for me to believe that a Taoist practitioner could have Buddhist aura.

The person actually possessed the combined auras of Buddhism, Taoism, and Demonism. The powerful energy unleashed by the concentrated power of these three auras was simply unimaginable.

Under the cover of the ghost immortal Fang Tianru, Ge Yu, carrying the Maoshan Nine Star Sword, approached Peng Lingxiao again.

This time it was close-quarters combat. The nine small swords attached to the Maoshan Nine Star Sword sometimes floated away and sometimes gathered together.

The sounds of magical artifacts colliding kept ringing in my ears. The two figures moved faster and faster until they were just two blurry shadows. With the help of the ghost immortal Fang Tianru, the scarlet whirlwind swirled around, and I could no longer find their figures anywhere.

The terrifying shockwaves they created during their fight were so powerful that no one could stand within a radius of twenty or thirty meters. Even from a great distance, I could feel the fierce wind hitting my face, and my face burned with pain.

At first, Master Chenyuan said that Ge Yu was no match for Hu Jiuqing. Now it seems that Master Chenyuan had other intentions. With the powerful force that Ge Yu, who has integrated the three powerful energies of Buddhism, Taoism and Demonism, could unleash, killing Hu Jiuqing would not be difficult.

The thought of Hu Jiuqing immediately made me look away from Ge Yu and the others. Their fight was too intense; you couldn't even see a shadow of anyone. There was really nothing to see there.

When my gaze fell upon Hu Jiuqing and Chenyuan Zhenren, I discovered that Hu Jiuqing was completely at a disadvantage. Several bloody cuts had been made on his body by Chenyuan Zhenren's magic sword, and his clothes were soaked with golden blood.

Hu Jiuqing was struggling, his gaze fixed on the direction of the Dream Return Sedan Chair. A moment's inattention and Chenyuan Zhenren slashed another gash in his body, then kicked him away with a powerful kick. Just as Chenyuan Zhenren was about to finish Hu Jiuqing off, two people suddenly appeared beside him. One of them even lay on top of Hu Jiuqing, blocking Chenyuan Zhenren's sword.
