The forbidden technique of forcibly fusing spirits came at a great cost. He spat out a mouthful of blood, losing 20 years of his life in the process.
Having just spat out two mouthfuls, he lost 40 years of his life.
Moreover, this kind of fusion state couldn’t be sustained for too long.
With the addition of the Foundation Establishment ghosts, they temporarily withstood the onslaught of the Blood God Sons.
But it wasn’t enough!
“Pfft!” The old Daoist priest actually spat out blood again, forcibly raising the ghosts’ cultivation with a secret technique.
The price of doing so was lifespan and the souls of those ghosts.
At this point, the old Daoist’s hair had turned completely white.
Blood sprayed onto the ghosts, and they surged in power like they had just consumed a potent medicine.
Their original cultivation at the first level of Foundation Establishment had now increased by two levels to the third level.
But the old Daoist didn’t stop there; he injected Yin energy into the Hundred Ghosts Banner.
Because he knew that he was no match for so many Blood God Sons, he had to use all of his means without reservation.
Even if it meant death, he would make Zhang Chen pay the price.
“Merge!”
The ghosts controlled by the Hundred Ghosts Banner also fused together, emitting the aura of Foundation Establishment cultivation.
This way, it was equivalent to three Foundation Establishment cultivators fighting Zhang Chen.
But even so, they were still no match for 40 Blood God Sons.
The Blood God Sons were difficult to destroy, their speed was fast, and they fearlessly attacked. Five could deal with the first level of Foundation Establishment and 10 of them could deal with the fourth level.
The old Daoist was at the third level of Foundation Establishment, the ghosts at the third level, and the Hundred Ghosts Banner at the first level.
Overall, it could only neutralize 25 Blood God Sons.
If it weren’t for the fact that ghosts didn’t have blood and could faintly restrain
Blood God Sons, the old Daoist would have long been drained of blood by them.
Even if they could barely withstand the Blood God Sons now, the ghosts that had temporarily fused and increased their cultivation levels would not be able to hold out for long.
Moreover, Zhang Chen had yet to make a move.
The reason Zhang Chen hadn’t acted was also to see the power of 40 Blood Gods.
In the air, ghosts roared, brandished ghost knives, and swept with giant hands, chopping, crushing, and striking down one Blood God Son after another.
But the Blood God Sons immediately recovered and continued to attack, eroding the Yin energy of the ghosts and the old Daoist.
They were now in a brief balance, but as soon as Zhang Chen made his move, the balance was broken.
Zhang Chen took out the Mad Blood Saber, activated the Blood Devouring Demon Technique, and filled the air with the scent of blood. A massive Blood Fiend Qi entwined around the knife.
Then he used the Blood Escape Technique and transformed into a blood light that flew towards the old Daoist.
Finally, he used the Blood Burst Technique to increase the speed of his saber and struck out with the Mad Blood Saber Technique!
The madness imbued in the saber technique surged into the old Daoist priest’s mind like a flood.
The Blood Fiend Qi entwined around the knife canceled out the Yin energy protecting the old Daoist’s body.
“Thud…
A shriveled arm dropped from the air.
The old Daoist priest’s face twisted in pain. If it weren’t for his strong mental power, which he used to quickly dispel the madness, and he sidestepped at a critical moment, he would have been cut in two.
It was not just one arm that was severed, but his entire body was cut into two.
He had narrowly avoided one slash, but what about the second and third.
“This is what you forced me to do!” The old Daoist shouted, and with one hand he made a decisive gesture: “Feed the ghost with my body!”
The ghosts and spirits suddenly gave up resisting the Blood God Sons and turned to pounce on the old Daoist, crazily gnawing on his flesh and blood.
After a shrill scream, the old Daoist priest’s flesh and blood were all eaten by the two ghosts, leaving only a skeleton.
After devouring the old Daoist’s flesh, the two ghosts’ aura rose to the fifth level of Foundation Establishment.
However, the transformation did not stop there. The two ghosts began to fuse again.
A ghost the size of a small mountain and at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment appeared in front of Zhang Chen.
“You forced me to do this. Even if my soul dissipates, I will make sure we both go down together!”
The voice of the old Daoist, full of resentment, came from the mouth of the ghost creature. Its lantern-sized eyes emitted green light, staring fiercely at Zhang Chen.
The old Daoist priest had actually merged with the evil spirit at the cost of his own soul scattering!
Zhang Chen’s expression finally became serious. Although 40 Blood God Sons could deal with an eight-level Foundation Establishment cultivator, with the other side having no physical body, the strength of the Blood God Sons could only be half as effective.
However, Zhang Chen was not afraid.
Blood Ignition Technique!
The blood flame in his body ignited, and his cultivation level quickly rose to the fourth level of Foundation Establishment.
“Kill!
The Blood Gods pounced like locusts, acting as the main force to restrain the evil ghost Daoist priest, while Zhang Chen waited for an opportunity to attack.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Every strike of the Evil Ghost Daoist priest carried a great power that shook the earth and mountains.
Perhaps it was because he had fused with the evil ghost, although his strength had become stronger, the old Daoist priest’s consciousness was very chaotic.
He kept repeating the words of wanting Zhang Chen to pay the price and perish together. He did not even know how to use spells. He only knew how to use brute force and boundless Yin Qi to attack.
After all, the two Foundation Establishment ghosts were originally formed by a large number of ghosts and countless chaotic minds.
Blood Devouring Demon Technique!
Blood Escape Technique!
Blood Burst Technique!
Mad Blood Saber Technique!
Zhang Chen’s four techniques were imbued into the Blood God Child and hacked away relentlessly.
Under the influence of madness, the already confused consciousness of the Evil Ghost Old Daoist became even more muddled, even attacking indiscriminately.
“Annoying flies, get lost, all of you!”
“Kill, kill, kill!”
“Boom, boom, boom…
The Evil Ghost Old Daoist attacked everything he saw in a frenzy. As time passed, his body showed signs of collapsing.
Countless ghost faces emerged from his body, struggling to break free.
These ghosts had been forcefully fused together by a spell. Now that the evil ghost old Daoist priest’s consciousness had gone crazy, he could no longer maintain the spell.
“Boom!”
With a loud bang, the Evil Ghost Old Daoist’s huge body exploded.
“Whimper, whimper, whimper…
Countless ghosts gushed out and dissipated into the air.
“It’s over!” Zhang Chen swept his divine sense over and detected no breath from the Old Dao.
“I’ve finally taken revenge, but I’ve consumed a lot of energy!”
Zhang Chen looked at the group of Blood God Sons whose auras had weakened greatly. He dispelled the Blood Ignition Technique and took out a blood storage bottle to replenish his blood essence and restore his strength.
As for the Blood God Sons, they flew towards the collapsed Daoist temple to see if they could find anything useful.
The old Daoist priest was gnawed down to his bones, leaving behind only a Hundred Ghosts Banner.
This Hundred Ghosts Banner was a decent magic weapon, but unfortunately, all the ghosts inside had been exhausted, and it would only work after replenishing the ghosts.
Soon, the Blood God Sons returned with a storage bag in their hands.
Zhang Chen took the storage bag and used his divine sense to examine the items inside.
There were 300 spirit stones, some miscellaneous items that emitted Yin Qi, and two pieces of human skin covered in writing.
Zhang Chen took out the human skin to examine and found two spells.
