Chapter 30: Breaking the Enemy with the Five Camps Divine Generals Formation

Zhang Cheng worried that the female vampire would also revive, and if that happened, the two of them would truly be difficult to deal with.

He immediately shouted: "Senior Brother, find a way to trap this vampire!"

Daoist Priest Da Yi nodded and said: "Junior Brother, hold him off!"

Zhang Cheng put away his magic treasure and fought the vampire using only his fists and kicks; fortunately, Zhang Cheng's physical fitness was no longer what it once was, and although he was no match for the vampire, holding him off was still more than enough.

Meanwhile, Daoist Priest Da Yi took five small divine statues out of his satchel and placed them on the ground. Then, he took out a bundle of rope and laid out the talisman formation of the Five Camps Divine Generals on the ground.

In just half a minute, Daoist Priest Da Yi had finished the setup, then he performed the Five Camps finger incantations, and finally took out five divine talismans, using his magic power as a guide as he shouted: "Hurry, hurry, like the law!"

One end of the five divine talismans immediately ignited, and Daoist Priest Da Yi immediately placed a divine talisman on each small statue. Once finished, Daoist Priest Da Yi shouted: "Junior Brother, come over quickly!"

Zhang Cheng kicked the vampire, used the force to retreat, and simultaneously saw the Five Camps Divine Generals Formation. He hurriedly performed a backflip, avoided the Five Camps Divine Generals Formation, and landed beside Daoist Priest Da Yi.

The vampire immediately lunged over, but was kicked in the chest by Daoist Priest Da Yi and landed inside the formation.

The five divine statues immediately emitted a red light, the entire formation activated in an instant, and the northern and southern statues immediately tightened the formation, directly trapping the vampire and leaving him unable to move.

The vampire looked back at the five glowing red statues, bared his fangs and hissed, then reached out to grab the rope on the ground.

Zhang Cheng, who had already retreated, had long since taken out the Fire Crow Pot; he removed the stopper and shouted: "Hurry, hurry, like the law!"

A stream of divine fire sprayed out, and before the vampire could react, he was burned to death by the divine fire.

Daoist Priest Da Yi was greatly shocked and said: "What an overbearing magic treasure!"

Zhang Cheng put away the Fire Crow Pot and smiled: "Senior Brother, you flatter me; this is merely a legacy left by my ancestors. Although its power is great, its drawbacks are also very obvious."

Daoist Priest Da Yi said with envy: "What does that drawback matter? As long as Junior Brother sets up the formation to trap the enemy, they can be eliminated in an instant; I am truly envious of that, Junior Brother."

Zhang Cheng still remembered Daoist Priest Da Yi performing the Five Thunders Curse and hurriedly said: "If it weren't for this Western ghost, Senior Brother would have been able to handle it alone. Senior Brother's Five Thunders Curse is what makes me extremely envious."

Daoist Priest Da Yi smiled with some pride: "It's alright, it's alright, it can't compare to Senior Brother's Lightning-Running Fist. Little Junior Brother, no need to be anxious; once you cultivate your magic power up, such incantations will all be trivial matters."

No sooner had the words fallen than a pink figure flew out from the ruins.

Zhang Cheng immediately said: "Senior Brother, there is another one!"

"Ah!"

The female vampire let out a roar; she discovered that the aura of her lover had completely vanished.

She stared at Zhang Cheng and Daoist Priest Da Yi and let out another roar, making the two of them feel a stinging pain in their ears.

Zhang Cheng was somewhat surprised and said: "That vampire must have come to revive this female vampire; she should be very weak."

Daoist Priest Da Yi took a look and saw that the Five Camps Divine Generals Formation on the ground could still be used, so he whispered: "Junior Brother, lure her into the formation, we will use the Samadhi True Fire."

Zhang Cheng nodded, immediately jumped over the Five Camps Divine Generals Formation, and punched toward the female vampire.

The female vampire immediately dodged, and Zhang Cheng hurriedly pursued, but the female vampire jumped back and forth, and Zhang Cheng could do nothing about it.

Fortunately, Daoist Priest Da Yi was still on the side; he threw out the Altar-Suppressing Wood once again, and the female vampire, caught off guard, was hit in the waist and fell to the ground.

Zhang Cheng did not hesitate, went up, and unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks.

The female vampire hurriedly fought back, which forced Zhang Cheng to retreat.

Immediately after, Zhang Cheng revealed a flaw and was kicked to the ground by the female vampire.

Zhang Cheng performed a donkey-roll, hurriedly opened up some distance, quickly got up, and jumped over the Five Camps Divine Generals Formation.

The female vampire immediately chased after him and fell right into the formation.

The next second, two streams of Samadhi True Fire sprayed onto the female vampire.

The female vampire struggled with all her might, but was trapped by the formation and could not move her feet; she could only wail amidst the great fire.

Zhang Cheng worried that the female vampire would not die, so he took out the Refining-Evil Treasure Gourd and released a stream of Qi; the True Fire instantly grew larger, and soon, the female vampire stopped moving until she was burned to ashes.

"Killed the vampire couple, obtained two thousand merit points."

Hearing this, Zhang Cheng revealed a satisfied smile; this time he had obtained three thousand four hundred, and counting the previous ones, he had over five thousand merit points.

It was a pity that to cultivate the Method of Refining Qi for Merit to perfection, one needed tens of thousands of merit points.

Daoist Priest Da Yi stepped forward to collect the five small statues and smiled: "Finally, these two Western ghosts have been eliminated; this time, it is all thanks to your help, Little Junior Brother."

Zhang Cheng waved his hand and said: "Senior Brother, why be so polite? You and I are fellow disciples, connected like branches of the same tree; helping each other is only right."

Daoist Priest Da Yi nodded with great gratification and said: "Let's go, let's go back and transcend that female ghost."

The two of them soon caught up with A-Hao and A-Fang, and after returning to the Daoist temple, they found a place to bury the woman's corpse.

Subsequently, Daoist Priest Da Yi set up a dharma altar and chanted the Rebirth Sutra three times for the unjustly deceased woman.

Then he formed a sword seal with his hand, stomped his foot on the ground, and the next second, a Yin Messenger appeared.

Daoist Priest Da Yi picked up a piece of special soil, put it in his mouth, and then went up to chat with the ghost messenger for a while.

Zhang Cheng remembered that asking a ghost messenger to do things required paying money, and he thought about using his own merit points to count money for Daoist Priest Da Yi.

After all, burning money for ghosts would shorten one's lifespan; even a high-level master like Daoist Priest Da Yi would lose merit or Yang energy.

As Zhang Cheng's thoughts stirred, ten golden copper coins appeared in his hand.

The ghost messenger, who was negotiating with Daoist Priest Da Yi, immediately looked at Zhang Cheng, hurriedly floated over, and said something to Daoist Priest Da Yi with an excited expression.

Daoist Priest Da Yi hesitated for a moment, then took out a piece of soil and signaled for Zhang Cheng to put it in his mouth.

Zhang Cheng took the piece of soil, put it in his mouth, and felt very bad and uncomfortable, but he could now understand the ghost messenger's words.

The ghost messenger said: "I can take the female ghost down, and I can take care of her until she is reincarnated, but I want the money in your junior brother's hand."

Daoist Priest Da Yi was an old and cunning ghost; he took one look at the copper coins in Zhang Cheng's hand and immediately sensed an aura of peace and harmony, so he hurriedly said: "I cannot make the decision on this."

Zhang Cheng knew these were merit coins, so he said with confidence: "This money is too precious; just to take one female ghost down, it is not worth giving you these copper coins."

The ghost messenger was very tempted; these were merit coins, which were too rare, so he hurriedly said: "Give me these ten coins, and I will owe you a favor."

Zhang Cheng hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, that's too much of a loss; one is not enough, at least five."

The ghost messenger hurriedly shook his head: "That won't do, three, at most three."

The corners of Zhang Cheng's mouth curled into a smile as he asked: "Is this money very popular in the Underworld?"

The ghost messenger was stunned; good heavens, he was the one who usually used ghost-talk to trick people, he never expected to be swindled by someone today.

Zhang Cheng hurriedly added a sentence, saying: "Don't lie to me, otherwise I absolutely won't give you any next time."

The ghost messenger sighed and said: "This is Merit Coin; whether in the Heavenly Court or the Underworld, it is priceless and hard to come by. If you, little brother, were to go to the Underworld, with just one hundred Merit Coins, you could even be a Judge."

Zhang Cheng was somewhat surprised; he had not expected Merit Coins to be so precious. He immediately handed ten Merit Coins to the ghost messenger.

The ghost messenger cupped his hands in a salute and immediately took the female ghost down to the Underworld.

Daoist Priest One-Brow stepped forward and said: "Junior brother, I will not speak of this matter, you must also be careful."
