Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 61: Ghost Guard
"Damn it, phaseless golden body!" Tang Jie also roared, and the golden light all over his body flashed away. Facing the ferocious attack of Tie Mu, Tang Jie waved his hand and grabbed it.
Amidst the loud noise, smoke and dust flew everywhere.
When the smoke and dust cleared, the giant ape was shocked to see that his iron wood had been caught in Tang Jie's hand, and he was looking at him with cold eyes.
It was frightened and wanted to draw the stick, but found that it couldn't do anything.
Tang Jie grabbed Tiemu and pulled him back angrily, "We agreed that we won't use spells but you will use them instead. You, a monkey who is the king of melee combat, are competing with cultivators on spells. Are you **** tired of living there?" I'll let you know the fate of the scoundrel!"
Pulling back his right arm, he had snatched the iron wood from the giant ape's hand. With a wave of his backhand, the iron wood had been rounded and thrown at the giant ape.
The giant ape wailed and waved its arms, and saw the iron wood in Tang Jie's hand being smashed down. The giant ape was almost unable to move, and the reverse barbs dug into its arm, causing it to grow painfully. Hissed.
However, this giant ape obviously still had some trump cards. At this moment, it roared and flew up again, and slapped the big tree next to it with one palm. The big tree withered when it stood, and instead the injured arm of the giant ape quickly recovered.
"Is this considered swallowing trees?" Tang Jie laughed. This giant ape can actually absorb plant nutrients to heal itself, which is quite a bit like DOTA.
Who said that cultivating immortals must involve sword energy flying around?
At least in this low-level world, the weirdness and diversity of spells are more common than grandeur.
"I don't know if I can be interrupted!" Tang Jie shouted and threw the iron wood in his hand.
The giant ape roared and punched the iron wood. The huge force immediately turned the iron wood into powder.
But the next moment, a flash of sword appeared.
The heart-breaking knife has drawn a long blood line on the giant ape's body.
"Zhanfeng!" Tang Jie screamed and rushed forward, slashing the giant ape with another knife. The giant ape roared and punched, hitting the blade squarely, causing the heart-breaking knife to fly out.
Unexpectedly, Tang Jie did not grab the knife, but continued to pounce forward. Unexpectedly, a golden glove appeared on his right fist and smashed it down on the giant ape's nose.
Boom!
This thunder blow almost smashed half of the giant ape's face, and the pain made the giant ape look up to the sky and howl.
The next moment it didn't fight back, but turned around and ran away. It finally knew how powerful Tang Jie was and no longer wanted to fight with him.
"Can you run away?" Tang Jie snorted and suddenly whistled.
Thunder suddenly appeared on the horizon in the distance, and a bolt of lightning pierced the sky and hit the giant ape fiercely.
Then a large area of thunder and lightning shone, forming a huge thunder ball, which exploded and caused the giant ape to fly up.
It's Xiaohu.
This blow of fierce wind and electric light hit the giant ape for real. Even though the giant ape was a top-grade monster, it could not withstand it. The fur of its body was blown apart, and its escape route was completely cut off.
Seeing that the attack was successful, Little Tiger was so happy that he instinctively wanted to make a noise.
Tang Jie was startled when he saw it. He quickly took out a piece of animal meat from the mustard bag and threw it into the little tiger's mouth. The little tiger didn't cry out and was stunned. Seeing the owner feeding the meat, he immediately ran to the side and gnawed it. Gone to eat.
The giant ape still wanted to take the opportunity to attack Xiaohu, but Tang Jie had already caught up with him from behind, grabbed the giant ape's tail, whipped it towards the ground, and smashed it down hard.
At this vital point, the giant ape immediately lost its ability to resist. Tang Jie was like a rag doll, repeatedly smashing the giant beast around.
Even though the giant ape had thick skin and thick flesh, it could not withstand such a torment. After falling violently, it gradually became weak and passed out.
Tang Jie then let go, looked at the little tiger, pointed at it and said, "I've convinced you, can you not use Tiger Roar the next time you fight?"
"Ugh..." Xiaohu looked at Tang Jie in confusion.
Tang Jie looked at its innocent expression and felt helpless for a moment. He could only wave his hand and said: "Forget it, let me slowly develop a habit for you."
Turning back to look at the giant ape that had been knocked unconscious by him, Tang Jie was about to go up and kill it with one blow, when suddenly his heart moved.
"The dying beast, its vitality is not gone, but its life essence is still there... What kind of spell does it seem to meet?"
He thought about it carefully, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "The art of controlling ghosts!"
He hurriedly took out something from the mustard bag, which was the Ghost Book. Just to avoid people's eyes and ears, Tang Jie had changed the cover to Human Lun Dao, and the pages of the book were also sandwiched in it.
Hurrying through the pages of the book, I carefully tore apart the glued page and opened it to see that it was the practice method of controlling ghosts.
"One thought is immortal, spans life and death, seals the heaven and earth, and is boundless... It is true that in the opportunity of immortality, by transforming into death from life, it is a ghost guard!" Tang Jie said excitedly.
The art of controlling ghosts is a miraculous art of the ancient ghost-raising sect. It is best at turning dead creatures into ghosts and raising them. It can be used for cultivation or combat. It has many functions and changes, and it is absolutely loyal and low-cost. Therefore, it was very popular.
The original Ghost Raising Sect only used the dead to refine ghost guards, and that was it.
But later, in order to obtain a more powerful ghost guard, the Ghost Raising Sect continued to study and found that because the living person is still alive, his will is immortal, and his essence has not been lost, by refining it, he can retain more of his power during life.
It should be said that many of the Ghost Sect's cultivation methods are not life-threatening in the first place, but just because there are quick shortcuts, it is inevitable that some people will do whatever it takes to take the shortcut.
Some disciples of the Ghost-Raising Sect who were eager for success killed innocent people indiscriminately in order to gain powerful power. In the end, they harmed the heavens and killed too much, arousing public outrage and leading to the annihilation of the sect.
This is also the usual development pattern of things. As long as there is a relationship of interest and there is a lack of monitoring, it will inevitably gradually develop from controlled to out of control, and will either grow or perish.
Fortunately, Qixia Realm is a world that pays attention to morality and order, so sects like this quickly perished before they could truly dominate.
At this moment, Tang Jie had such an opportunity in front of him.
To be honest, using giant apes to refine ghost guards does not violate the morals of the world. When the ghost raising sect was founded, monsters were initially used as the main raw material, but they gradually deteriorated in the subsequent development process. In his eagerness for success, he extended his devilish hand to mankind.
Therefore, refining the giant ape itself is not unethical.
But just as Tang Jie said to Xu Miaoran at the beginning, the art of raising ghosts has now become a forbidden art. When something is banned, the motivation and method of obtaining it no longer matter, as long as it is contaminated, it is a sin!
So at this moment, Tang Jie also hesitated.
Should the local area seize the opportunity to refine the giant ape?
You must know that the refining of ghost guards mainly preserves the power of flesh and blood during life. The power of magic is extremely difficult to protect, so a powerful giant ape like this is the best refining material.
Moreover, monsters are ferocious in nature and often die before they die. Even if they want to catch them alive, it is not easy. Now that they have managed to catch one alive, it is the most suitable material for refining the ghost guard. It would be a pity to give up.
But on the other hand, Qixia's ban also made him worry a lot.
He knew very well what the consequences would be if the ghost guard was exposed.
At this moment, he thought over and over again, weighed the pros and cons, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "As cultivators, we should act freely and as we please. If I do this, it will not go against my true intention, but it will increase my fighting power." Benefit, since there is an opportunity, how can you miss it? The worst thing is not to let it appear in front of others, and only use it in times of crisis. If a person is in danger, as long as he can save his life, so what if it is broad daylight?"
After repeated consideration, he finally decided to refine the ghost guard.
With his character, he doesn't take advantage of the bastard. If he misses such a good opportunity, he may not be able to sleep well in the future.
As for what I am saying now, it is just another self-deception and should not be taken seriously. Otherwise, if he really doesn't want it, he will probably say to himself, "As cultivators in my generation, there are things we do and things we don't do. Although this matter does not go against our true intentions, the general trend is ahead and we need to make choices. How can we do it for petty gain?" And self-destruction..." something like that.
Having made up his mind at this moment, Tang Jie asked Xiaohu to alert the surroundings, and he began to cast spells according to the scriptures to refine the giant ape.
While chanting softly, a black light flew out from Tang Jie's fingertips and landed on the giant ape.
As the black brilliance spread, the fur, bones and flesh of the giant ape began to rapidly fester.
The huge pain immediately woke up the giant ape, roaring and about to take action.
"Damn it!" Tang Jie cursed secretly, and then he realized that he had not made the giant ape unconscious before.
After all, this is his first time using ghost control, and he is not even familiar with the process. He doesn’t know anything that is not written in ghost control. It’s like an intern doctor going into battle with a book, only to find out after opening the chest that no anesthetic has been injected. .
It was just too late to reproduce the academic method at this time, so Tang Jie simply stretched out his hand to hold down the giant ape and said, "You're in trouble."
He waved his hand fiercely and punched the giant ape unconscious again.
The ghost-controlling technique continued to be used, bit by bit on the giant ape, eroding its flesh and blood bit by bit. During this period, the giant ape was repeatedly awakened by pain, and repeatedly knocked unconscious by Tang Jie. It was as if he was a human without anesthesia. Just the unlucky patient who had heart bypass surgery.
At the end, the flesh and blood of the giant ape was almost corroded, and the giant ape could no longer resist, and finally died.
The erosion of flesh and blood is still in progress. Under the influence of the spell, all the life essence and the remaining immortal will are reduced to bones. In the end, only a huge giant ape skeleton is left, with a little bit in the skull. The green flames are shining, looking ghostly and chilling.
At this point, Tang Jie took a long breath, knowing that the ghost control technique was finally accomplished.
Different from ghosts whose souls are immortal and born from spirits, ghost guards have entities, and their skeleton is the carrier of their will~IndoMTL.com~. Unlike ordinary ghosts, they use spirits as their carriers, although they are more ethereal. It can reside in the human body, but it also lacks combat power because of this.
What Tang Jie was refining at the moment was actually the heart-eating ghost used by Taoist Fuyu. It's just that Taoist Fuyu's strength is limited. At first, he only made a low-grade monster monkey after all his efforts. Now Tang Jie has made it from a high-grade giant ape. Although he is also a heart-eating ghost, his strength is not the same.
At this moment, Tang Jie looked at the giant ape and the heart-eating ghost. He wanted to test its strength and pointed at it: "Attack me."
The heart-eating ghost rushed over like lightning and grabbed Tang Jie's chest. Tang Jie waved his arm to block it. With just one blow, Tang Jie was knocked back. His arm was in great pain. He shouted. A "Stop!"
The heart-eating ghost stopped, and Tang Jie looked down, only to realize that five finger holes had been pierced through his arm. Its attack was actually sharper than before, and he took a breath.
After turning into a ghost guard, the giant ape lost all its magical abilities in life, and could only be condensed with the essence of flesh and blood, so its attacks were more powerful. However, its defense did not increase but decreased. In terms of overall strength, it was still not as good as before in life, but if Cooperate with the cultivators to fight, and their terrifying attacks will definitely give you a headache.
No wonder the Ghost Raising Sect went on such a killing spree in order to obtain good ghost guards. The strength of this ghost guard was truly extraordinary.
However, ghost guards are easy to make, but difficult to control. They require secret techniques. Without sufficient strength, it is difficult to control more ghost guards. Therefore, Taoist Fuyu only had one heart-eating ghost back then.
Of course Tang Jie didn't care anymore. To him, this heart-eating ghost was just a source of extra income, and he really didn't expect more.
At this moment, the ghost guards were put away according to the secret method. Tang Jie was about to leave when he heard Yiyi's voice.
"What's the matter Yiyi?"
"Everyone is entering the Ten Thousand Flowers Forest together!" Yiyi shouted loudly.
