Chapter 1446: No good death!

Die!

In Xuanji Holy Lord's beautiful eyes appeared a Dao diagram; earlier she had already divined the grand trend of this Secluded Valley.

The grand trend of heaven and earth presses upon living beings; this is the evolution of the Great Dao!

"Black Coffin Spilling Blood" grand trend is, within the Strange Dao Resonance, an extremely ominous grand trend.

Any other living being that steps into it will trigger the Black Coffin's qi fortune, deathly aura will shroud them, the power of strange transformation will surge, and within the unseen grand trend, many terrifying apparitions will appear.

Xuanji Holy Lord, even back in the Strange Palace Star Sea, was intimately familiar with the common terrifying terrain formed by the convergence and condensation of Strange Power.

She continuously formed hand seals, and the Strange Power fell like a massive stone into a calm lake.

The already extremely ferocious Secluded Valley was instantly triggered.

Heaven and Earth's Strange Dao killing intent awakens!

Boom—boom—boom!

At this moment, Zhang Shi, Sun He, and others brought over a dozen Dao Void Realm cultivators in pursuit.

I sense Ming's aura!

Zhang Shi's blue robe billowed; the spirit sword beneath his feet burst forth with icy sword qi, tearing apart the endless darkness within the Secluded Valley wherever it passed.

Behind him followed Sun He and others, who had already unleashed the Sword Intent Gu.

Sword qi ceaselessly wore away the surrounding Strange Power.

Upon entering this Secluded Valley, they discovered it was bottomless, having sunk hundreds of thousands of zhang deep, yet they still felt endless depth below.

The Strange Black Mist around them grew even thicker.

Their sword qi was originally blazing bright, able to illuminate a radius of a thousand zhang, but now the divine light of their sword qi had become extremely weak, only able to illuminate a few dozen zhang.

Hiss—hiss—hiss!

A faint, scalp‑tingling sound spread from all around, like skulls rubbing together.

What is that?

A gray‑robed youth's body trembled as he grew paranoid, glancing at his fellow sect member—only to see, in the next instant, not a companion but a hideously terrifying face.

Ah!!

The gray‑robed youth cried out in alarm, drew his spirit sword to strike, but found he could not pull the sword free.

A huge, terrifying hand suddenly plunged into his chest.

Save me! Save me……

However, the gray‑robed youth could no longer see his fellow sect members around him, nor could he sense the aura of Senior Brother Zhang Shi.

His body was directly transformed by the strange!

His aura vanished.

He died.

He was merely a Dao Void Realm cultivator, unable to oppose such a terrifying heaven‑and‑earth grand trend.

Another sword‑cultivator youth likewise felt chilling winds blowing from behind; upon turning, he saw a huge skull emitting a cold grin, which opened wide like an abyss and swallowed him whole.

No! No……

He wanted to shout, but found his voice could not escape.

Strange Power instantly invaded his body.

Death followed close behind.

Another Dao Void Realm sword cultivator was also entangled by a Strange Dao phenomenon; before he could react, he was eradicated by the Strange Dao Resonance.

Soon.

Originally over a dozen Dao Void Realm disciples were left with only five or six.

A pockmarked youth jabbed his fellow sect member beside him, his voice trembling as he asked, 'Hey, have you noticed there are fewer people?'

'No,' his fellow sect member replied with a smile.

But his mouth kept widening until it finally sank its teeth into the pockmarked youth's flesh.

'Damn it! Senior Brother Zhang Shi, save me!' the pockmarked man felt utter terror and cried out for help to Zhang Shi and the others ahead.

Huh?

Zhang Shi and the others were already on edge; their sword qi needed to suppress the surrounding Strange Dao Resonance while watching for danger, and upon hearing the cry for help they all turned back.

'What's going on?' Sun He froze, asking, 'Where are the others?'

The pockmarked man had already been invaded by Strange Power, his whole body turned dark, his vitality shattered—he was dead beyond death.

Sun He sucked in a cold breath, looked at Zhang Shi, and said, 'Senior Brother, should we retreat? This Secluded Valley seems to be Ming's home turf!'

Zhang Shi also felt the urge to retreat.

Just because he had descended to this position, he activated the Ten‑Transformations Sword Intent Gu, yet it could only illuminate a range of a dozen zhang, and its divine light had become extremely weak, like a candle's glow.

Beyond the reach of the sword qi lay endless strange mist, completely indistinct, with only shifting phantasms of the strange flickering within.

Seeing this, Zhang Shi snorted coldly, 'Playing ghosts and monsters! Ming, if you've got the guts, get out here!'

Xuanji Holy Lord stood amidst layers of mist, her form obscured, and gave no reply.

Shush—shush—shush!

Alarming sounds came from all around, as if some unknown creature were crawling out of the valley's stone walls.

Xuanji Holy Lord sensed that these were ancient phantasms of the Strange Clan.

They wielded broken black spears; although phantasms, one could still see their thick fur drifting continually.

These Strange Clan phantasms sensed the human aura of Zhang Shi and company and immediately surged forward to slaughter.

Xuanji Holy Lord's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she sensed even more Strange Clan phantasms hidden in the stone walls, deep in the valley's depths.

She murmured to herself, 'I never imagined that after endless ages, these Strange Clan would still not be extinguished.'

Just now she stirred the heavenly and earthly momentum here, causing the previously dormant Ghost Clan phantoms to awaken.

Above the head of Xuanji Holy Lord, Zhang Shi and Sun He and the others waited a moment, finally making up their minds to leave.

At the moment they turned back, they discovered that the few Dao Void Realm fellow disciples who had remained were already dead!

Invaded by the weird power, even the faint Ghost Clan bloodline in their bodies could not resist!

Suddenly, terrifying Dao Lord Realm weird auras came from all around.

"Who goes there?"

Zhang Shi and the others, facing a great enemy, tightly gripped their Spirit Swords, and the hair on their bodies stood on end.

Beyond the sword qi's illumination, they saw beings covered head to toe in long hair striding through the air toward them.

The light of the sword qi grew weaker and weaker.

One!

Two!

……

Soon, dozens of weird phantoms appeared!

These people each held a damaged Spiritual Weapon, charging at Zhang Shi and the others to slaughter, which seemed to be an instinct.

Zhang Shi and the others immediately began cursing, "Damn! There are still so many Ghost Clan members not wiped out here!"

This is the terror of the Ghost Clan: as long as it is not annihilated by destructive power, as long as Dao Resonance remains, they can cling to weird power and manifest this crippled state.

Of course, if the Ghost Dao Resonance is perfected, they can be reborn infinitely, just as in the Ghost Palace Star Sea.

"Retreat!"

Zhang Shi and Sun He exchanged a glance, then immediately activated Sword Intent Gu with all their might, their Spirit Sword slicing out a terrifying sword qi, hoping to tear the void and escape the abyss.

"Damn it, Ming, he can actually summon these ancient weird beings!"

Hiss hiss hiss!

The vast sword qi slashed out, instantly swallowed by boundless darkness, continually weakening, and finally annihilated outright.

Zhang Shi and the others fell into despair.

In the next instant, Xuanji Holy Lord's figure drifted over and stood not far away.

And those weird phantoms rushed forward to attack!

Zhang Shi gritted his teeth, "Ming!! Let's have an open and aboveboard fight!"

Xuanji Holy Lord said nothing.

A multitude of weird phantoms submerged Zhang Shi and the others, and Zhang Shi's mouth emitted a wail, "Ahhhh... Ming, you will not die a good death!"
