Chapter 61: Chaotic Yin and Yang

  The fierce battle was still going on. Two hours later, with the disappearance of Qinglian Fa Domain again, Zhang Shan estimated that the most difficult moment had arrived.

  This is the third time that Ling Yuwei has released the Qinglian Fa Domain, without a single day of rest, it's impossible to use it again.

  And then she stood between Xing Yuebo and Zhang Shan with a curved knife, joining the ranks of killing monsters.

  Everyone adjusted their formation and once again formed a plum blossom array of five people.

  "We should have killed seven or eight thousand ghost-faced bats by now, shouldn't we? They still won't disperse, and the remaining ones are even more powerful and harder to deal with." Ling Yuwei said helplessly.

  "The ghost-faced bat is fearless of death, once it locks onto its prey, it's a situation where it won't rest until it dies. Fortunately, there's only half an hour left till dawn, if we hold on for a bit longer, we can escape."

  Xing Yuebo had already abandoned his palm and used a sword. While parrying the bat swarm's impact with his sword flowers, he shouted.

  "It's just that their leader is still lurking behind, probably planning to attack us when we're exhausted." Zhang Shan's view was not optimistic.

  "Can Zhang Shifu sense the location of the Ghost Face Bat King?" Xing Yuebo's eyes flickered for a moment.

  "Xing Shixiong overestimated me, I just felt that there is a mid-tier spiritual beast in the bat group, as for where it is, I don't know." Zhang Shan said hesitantly.

  "Hmm, that's a fourth-order spiritual beast, extremely fast, moving left and right in the bat group, it's hard to lock onto its position. Everyone be careful, I'm afraid it's about to make a move too." Xing Yuebo warned.

  "Fourth-order spiritual beast? I only knew that spiritual beasts were divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower. Which level does this fourth-order spiritual beast belong to?" Zhang Shan asked in confusion.

  "That was the previous classification method, now the Wanxiang Temple has adjusted the ranking of the spiritual beasts to be divided into one to nine levels. The lower-level spiritual beasts before are now subdivided into first to third level, mid-level spiritual beasts are fourth to sixth level, and high-level spiritual beasts are seventh to ninth level." Xing Yuebo explained.

  Suō Cháng Tiān sneered, "The newly divided method probably hasn't been passed down to the secular world yet. You're just a newcomer, a country bumpkin who naturally doesn't know. I don't think you even understand what the Hall of All Images is."

  Hall of All Beings

  Zhang Shan's heart skipped a beat, he really didn't know what kind of place this was, and he wanted to ask, but felt the disdain in Suo Langtian's tone, so he shut his mouth.

  Ling Yuwei intervened at this time, saying: "Actually, it's not a secret. Zhang Shidi probably didn't read the Continental Gazette issued by the sect carefully, right? There is an introduction to the Wanxiang Temple inside, as well as their latest news."

  "I see, I thought it was just an introduction to the mainland's customs and people, didn't read much of it, will definitely take a closer look when I get back, hehe, Brother Su must have thoroughly read it."

  Zhang Shan smiled suddenly and glanced at Suo Changtian, saying.

  Suō Zhǎng Tiān lěng hēng le yī shēng zhuāng zuò méi tīng jiàn, liè yàn biān wǔ dé gèng jí le.

  Translation: Suo Changtian coldly snorted and pretended not to hear, the fierce flames danced even more urgently.

  "Be careful, elder sister..."

  Zhang Shan suddenly let out a loud shout, his body flashed and he appeared in front of Ling Yuwei, the sword light in his hand surging violently, it was a move called "Chaotic Yin and Yang".

  In the midst of the sword lights, a ghost-faced bat the size of a human head suddenly appeared in front of Ling Yuwei and charged straight at her.

  "Boom!"

  Zhang Shan's sword light pierced the ghost-faced bat in an instant, producing a loud crash.

  The ghost-faced bat let out a sharp screech, flipped over once, folded its wings and plunged into the darkness.

  "It's incredibly resilient, I couldn't even hurt it."

  Zhang Shan's blood and energy surged inside him, his body involuntarily recoiling, taking two steps back, and bumping into Ling Yuwei.

  "Little brother, are you okay?"

  Zhang Shan felt himself being held by a soft and fragrant body, with Ling Yuwei's urgent words ringing in his ears.

  "I'm fine."

  He suddenly turned around, converting the counter-shock force inside his body into a forward momentum. With one step forward, he unleashed another chaotic yin-yang strike, borrowing power to counterattack and repel the dozen or so ghostly faces that had taken advantage of the momentary opening, re-stabilizing the formation.

  "That ghost-faced bat leader has extremely strong attacking and defensive powers, be careful, sister, don't stray too far from me." Zhang Shan said in a low voice.

  "Are you guys okay? Are you injured?"

  Xing Yuebo took a step closer and asked loudly.

  "We're all fine, luckily Zhang Shidi lent a hand. Xing Shixiong, that four-stage spirit beast is quite formidable, what should we do?"

  Ling Yuwei's heart still had lingering fear as she replied, when that ghost-faced bat appeared in front of her earlier, the kind of sharp pressure and speed it possessed made her wonder if she wouldn't be its match, if not for Zhang Shan, just now she might have been injured with a single move.

  "Everyone get closer, leaving only one position, to support each other. I think that thing knows it's almost dawn and will make a final struggle." Xing Yuebo called out as he shrunk the defensive circle.

  He then praised: "Zhang Shidi's swordsmanship is good, the power of this sword just now has already surpassed that of most Lingwu Sixfold warriors, no wonder it can be included in the true transmission. I suppose Shidi was hiding his abilities on the Road to Heaven."

  "Xing Shixiong is overpraising me, just now I was only exerting myself to the limit, and couldn't even display a few moves. Later on, it's likely that I'll still need Shixiong's help." Zhang Shan said with a bitter smile.

  "Oh, in that case, don't worry, little brother. With me around, I'll definitely protect you completely." Xing Yuebo said with a hearty laugh.

  "Here we go again, this time it's coming straight for me."

  Zhang Shan's pupils contracted, sandwiched among those low-ranking ghost-faced bats. The leader of the ghost-faced bats suddenly appeared, this time its speed was even faster, and as soon as it appeared, it reached a distance of one zhang in front of Zhang Shan.

  Zhang Shan's Qinghong sword shook, quickly striking down the low-level ghost-faced bat in front of him. He absorbed the attack power of these dozen or so spirit beasts, transformed and redirected it, then struck forward with a powerful slash that combined his own true yuan.

  A sword light flashed in the dark night, and between the lightning and flint, it cut through the body of that four-stage ghost-faced bat.

  A loud noise, the ghost-faced bat let out a shrill cry, was knocked back again, and disappeared once more into the flock of bats.

  Zhang Shan grunted and stumbled forward a couple of steps.

  Ling Yuwei shouted loudly, her curved knife dancing into a cluster of light and shadow, forcing the ghost-faced bat back. Anxiously, she called out: "Zhang Shidi, you're injured?"

  Zhang Shan took a deep breath and steadied himself: "It's nothing, just a minor injury."

  "This thing is too fast, I was caught off guard and couldn't react in time to stop it. Are you alright, Shidi?" Xing Yuebo asked with concern.

  "It's okay, I can still hold on. That thing also took a heavy hit from me and should have been injured as well." Zhang Shan panted.

  "What's going on? These ghost-faced bats have gone mad!" Feng Pingyuan shouted loudly.

  Zhang Shan looked up and saw that those low-level ghost-faced bats emitted a shrill cry, rushing towards the crowd like madmen, completely with an attitude of going all out.

  "It seems that the leader is injured and his subordinates have gone mad. However, I'm not afraid of a chaotic battle with multiple opponents, the more intense it gets, the better."

  Zhang Shan was thinking to himself, the Qinghong sword danced horizontally and vertically, enveloping more than half of Ling Yuwei's side profile, withstanding wave after wave of attacks without retreating a single step.

  Instead, it was those low-ranking ghost-faced bats that were constantly being shaken to death by him, falling from the air one after another.

  However, the fourth-order ghost-faced bat was injured by his sword and then targeted him, charging at him several times in a row, and even biting off a piece of flesh from his body in the last attack.

  Fortunately, this spirit beast is non-toxic, otherwise it would be even more troublesome.

  "It can't go on like this, we must find an opportunity to kill it, or at least seriously injure it."

  Zhang Shan gritted his teeth and thought fiercely in his heart, considering whether he should use that move of great destruction next time.
