My carefree life in space

Chapter 271 The Situation Becomes Clear

Venerable Lingyun wore a long black robe, radiating a powerful and pure spiritual light that contrasted sharply with the eerie demonic aura surrounding him.

He glanced at Lin Shushu and the other two beside him, and seeing that although they were somewhat disheveled, their condition wasn't too bad, he finally felt relieved. He turned his head and stared coldly at Hei Sa, his eyes filled with anger and disdain.

"Demon Lord Hei Sa, I didn't expect you to come in person!"

Upon hearing this, Hei Sa's eyes flashed with regret, as if he was lamenting that he hadn't been able to capture Lin Shushu and the other two before Venerable Lingyun arrived and seize the Brahma Bowl.

But soon, that hint of regret was replaced by arrogance. He threw his head back and laughed, his voice shrill and arrogant: "So what if it's me? You so-called righteous sects are nothing but cowards hiding in your shells now."

These words were extremely harsh, full of provocation and insult. But Venerable Lingyun knew in his heart that although Hei Sa's words were extreme, they also revealed part of the current reality on the continent.

The demonic forces are now expanding wildly, like a surging black tide, leaving devastation in their wake. The major sects, burdened with protecting their disciples and the surrounding populace, are stretched thin and are indeed somewhat passive in dealing with the demonic offensive.

However, as the leader of a sect, he bears the heavy responsibility of upholding the dignity of the righteous path and the peace of the continent. How could he possibly lose face in front of the enemy?

His expression was cold and stern, and he stared directly at Hei Sa without flinching, saying loudly, "Hei Sa, don't be so arrogant! Your demon race has wreaked havoc on the continent, causing immense suffering and countless sins. Although the righteous path is currently at a disadvantage, it is by no means the coward you claim to be. Today is the day your evil deeds come to an end!"

After saying that, his spiritual power surged and rippled around him like an invisible storm, spreading outwards from him. The surrounding demonic energy was forced to retreat by this storm of spiritual power.

Hei Sa remained unmoved, his face still full of disdain: "How arrogant! You? I'm just worried that no one will add new souls to my Soul-Summoning Banner!" With that, he activated the Soul-Summoning Banner again, and the ghosts, under his command, rushed madly towards Venerable Lingyun.

Venerable Lingyun snorted coldly, instantly conjuring a massive sphere of spiritual energy in front of him. The sphere shone brightly, radiating a powerful purifying force. He forcefully thrust the sphere towards the army of ghosts, and the sphere, like a dazzling meteor, collided with the ghosts in an instant.

With a deafening boom, light and demonic energy intertwined, unleashing a powerful shockwave. The ghosts, struck by the purifying power, let out shrill screams and vanished into thin air.

The leader of the Void Refinement stage ghosts was indeed powerful; under the attack of Venerable Lingyun, it only swayed slightly a few times.

Its body was surrounded by churning demonic energy, attempting to resist the erosion of the purifying power. Although its form swayed slightly, its ferocious face still exuded a fierce and unyielding aura, and it let out a shriek like a night owl, as if demonstrating its power to Venerable Lingyun.

Upon seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Hei Sa's eyes. He waved the Soul-Summoning Banner again, attempting to use the power of the Void Refinement stage ghost to counterattack Venerable Lingyun.

"Hmph, you think you can break my Soul-Summoning Banner like this? You're dreaming!" Hei Sa laughed wildly, urging more demonic energy into the Void Refinement stage ghost's body, attempting to make it unleash even greater power.

A solemn expression flashed across Venerable Lingyun's face, knowing full well that the power of this Void Refinement stage ghost was not to be underestimated. If it could not be dealt with quickly, and Hei Sa were to use the ghost's power to launch a further counterattack, the situation would become even more troublesome.

As the sect leader of the Qingyun Sect, he had weathered countless storms and was not easily discouraged. After a brief moment of thought, he quickly devised a solution—a secret technique of the Qingyun Sect specifically designed to counter these evil arts.

Venerable Lingyun slowly raised his hands, forming a strange and complex hand seal. Mysterious runes flowed from his fingertips, slowly rotating around his body.

As the runes appeared, the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to be drawn by some powerful force, surging wildly and forming a huge vortex of spiritual energy centered on Venerable Lingyun.

The vortex of spiritual energy spun faster and faster, emitting a series of howling sounds, as if it wanted to engulf everything around it.

Immediately afterwards, Venerable Lingyun thrust his hands forward, and the runes surrounding him shot towards the Void Refinement stage ghost like arrows. Wherever the runes passed, space seemed to be torn open with tiny cracks, and the demonic energy emitted a "sizzling" sound under the pressure of the runes.

The Void Refinement stage ghost seemed to sense a tremendous threat; its demonic energy surged wildly as it attempted to resist the rune's attack. However, the Qingyun Sect's secret technique was exceptionally powerful; the moment the rune made contact with the ghost, a dazzling light erupted.

In the light, the runes quickly merged into the ghost's body, like sharp blades, beginning to cut and purify the demonic energy within it.

The ghost in the Void Refinement stage let out a shrill scream, its body trembling violently, its originally ferocious face contorted with pain.

Despite its desperate struggle, the demonic energy gradually dissipated under the powerful force of the secret technique, and its form began to become illusory.

Upon seeing this, Hei Sa's expression instantly turned extremely ugly. He hadn't expected that Venerable Lingyun's spell would be so effective in countering his Soul-Summoning Banner technique.

He was secretly anxious, but unwilling to give up. He quickly increased his control over the Soul-Summoning Banner in an attempt to save the Void Refinement stage ghost, while preparing to launch other attacks to disrupt Venerable Lingyun's rhythm.

In an instant, the demonic energy around him condensed into countless sharp black spears, which rained down on Venerable Lingyun. Each spear was enveloped in intense demonic energy, and wherever it passed, the space seemed to be corroded, emitting a sizzling sound.

Venerable Lingyun remained calm, his hands moving rapidly to erect a sturdy spiritual energy shield around him. Black spears struck the shield like a dense rain of blows, unleashing a series of booming sounds and sparks of spiritual energy.

At the same time, he intensified his suppression of the Void Refinement stage ghost, his hands constantly changing hand seals. The runes, like agile dragons, spun rapidly around the Void Refinement stage ghost, releasing even more powerful purifying energy.

Under the suppression of this powerful force, the ghost in the Void Refinement stage let out painful roars. Its body gradually became transparent, and its demonic energy dissipated like wisps of green smoke.

Finally, thanks to Venerable Lingyun's tireless efforts, the Void Refinement stage ghost completely dissipated into the air, leaving only a faint fluctuation of demonic energy.

Without pausing, Venerable Lingyun withdrew his spiritual energy shield and launched a swift attack on Hei Sa. His figure moved like a streak of light, instantly appearing in front of Hei Sa. He clenched his right fist, and spiritual energy around him surged like a tidal wave, gathering on his fist before slamming it down fiercely towards Hei Sa.

This punch contained boundless power, as if it could shatter space itself.

Hei Sa's expression changed, and he hurriedly raised the Soul-Summoning Banner in his hand to defend. With a loud "boom," the fist wind collided with the Soul-Summoning Banner, bursting out with a powerful impact. The surrounding demonic energy and spiritual power were instantly stirred into a huge vortex.

The impact sent Hei Sa staggering backward, his footsteps leaving deep marks on the ground. Once he regained his footing, a sinister glint flashed in his eyes as he prepared to launch a new attack.
