Chapter 355 Shadow

In the Black Stone Valley, a man in a black robe and a bamboo hat was next to a white formation covered with runes, casting a spell on a red formation flag with strange patterns in his hand.

After about an incense stick of time, a strange black wind suddenly rolled up above the formation flag in the black-robed man's hand, and bursts of piercing ghost howlings came out of the wind.

After the black wind circled around the black-robed man who summoned it for several times, it suddenly flew into the air and gathered together, slowly forming a black ghost head more than ten feet wide.

This ghost head looked very scary, with green light in its two eye sockets, two huge horns on its head, and a few terrifying screams came out of its mouth from time to time.

After seeing the ghost head, the black-robed man chuckled with satisfaction, and then immediately took out a three-inch-long broken sword and cut his palm, spraying a ball of bright red blood in his palm into the ghost head's mouth.

The black ghost head formed by the dark wind suddenly became very excited after touching the blood on the black-robed man's hand, and made waves of creepy ghost cries and wolf howls.

"Go!"

With the black-robed man's order, the huge ghost head in the sky turned around and pounced directly on the white formation that was more than ten feet away from the black-robed man.

As soon as it touched the white formation, a white giant tiger formed by spiritual light flew out from a white flying sword in the formation. This white tiger was also very fierce. After flying into the air, it slapped the ghost head aside.

The black ghost head did not retreat after seeing the white tiger. After turning around in the air, it immediately spit out a mouthful of black dark wind towards the white tiger and entangled the white tiger. After the white tiger was trapped by the dark wind, the spiritual light on its body suddenly dimmed a lot, and quickly used its four claws to tear off the dark wind that surrounded it and broke free.

The white tiger just got away and ran into the huge ghost head that had already rushed over. Seeing that the ghost head had opened its bloody mouth and wanted to swallow it in one bite, the white tiger shook its body, as if it had roared, and its body suddenly became a little bigger, and immediately entangled with the ghost head that rushed over.

The beast and the ghost in the sky fought very fiercely. The black-robed man standing below seemed to be very confident in the ghost head he summoned. He did not immediately join the battle to help it, but sat aside and patiently recovered his own mana.

It may be that summoning this ghost head also consumed a lot of the black-robed man's own mana and blood. At this moment, his face looked a little abnormally pale, and there seemed to be some pain between his eyebrows.

As time passed, the spiritual light on the white tiger in the sky became dimmer and dimmer, and the black ghost head gradually occupied the upper part. The gloomy wind spit out from its big mouth firmly suppressed the counterattack of the white tiger below.

Half an hour later, as the black ghost head bit the already weak white tiger, the white tiger howled unwillingly, and then turned into several scattered spiritual lights and disappeared completely in the sky.

The ghost head had just dealt with the white tiger, and the black-robed man below had almost recovered his condition with the two pills he had taken, and his somewhat sickly face gradually improved.

The black-robed man stood up and slowly raised the red formation flag in his hand. The huge ghost head in the sky suddenly turned into a black gloomy wind again, and then slowly returned to the formation flag in his hand and turned into a ghost head pattern on it.

After putting away the formation flag, the black-robed man came to the front of the already dim white formation, and stretched out his hand to pull out the white flying sword in the formation.

At this moment, a strange voice sounded from him. "This second-level top-grade White Tiger Demon Subduing Formation is really tricky. A lot of time has been wasted just to break it. I failed to kill the Xiaoyao Sect cultivators who came to investigate. Now they should have received the news and sent reinforcements. We don't have much time left. My dear disciple, hurry in!"

"The Xiaoyao Sect will not take the killing of a few ordinary Qi Refining cultivators too seriously. If a Foundation Establishment cultivator really died, I'm afraid it would alert the sect's Jindan elders to come and investigate. In fact, I deliberately let him go before, otherwise it would not be so easy for that kid to escape from my hands."

The black-robed man muttered to himself, nodded again, put away the white flying sword in his hand, and quickly passed through the white magic formation into the cave behind.

After the black-robed man left for about an incense stick of time, two shadows suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave and slowly walked to the front of the formation that the black-robed man had just destroyed. One of the old men in yellow looked around and spoke to a somewhat charming red-robed man beside him.

"This guy took so much effort to break the formation outside. It seems that this may be the hiding place of the old ghost."

The red-robed man shook a folding fan in his hand, looked at the cave entrance in front of him, and said with an unhappy face: "I have followed this kid for almost two years, but I still haven't found the whereabouts of Xiao Laogui. We are already uncomfortable enough. No matter whether the old ghost is in there or not, we have to go in and take a look, so as not to miss anything and miss the best opportunity to take action."

The old man in yellow nodded and continued, "Although this kid is Xiao Laogui's disciple, his cultivation is only at the fourth level of foundation building. I don't know what Xiao Laogui is planning to do. He actually let such a young boy take away the things he hid in Skull Mountain. If Master hadn't been more careful back then, we wouldn't have had the chance to target this kid."

"Haha! Junior Brother Liu is right. How could this kid know that the two of us have been following him for so long? In order to find Xiao Laogui, I also stayed in Weiguo for a while, but I didn't get any clues and almost died in the hands of Xiaoyao Sect. In the end, I relied on losing a lot of cultivation to use the substitute method to get out safely.

Xiao Laogui has always been Master's biggest worry. This time, as long as we can successfully find him, it will be a great achievement for the sect. Master will definitely reward you and me when we return in the future." The red-robed man said this, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Haha! Master Hong is still thinking far ahead. As long as I can follow Master this time, I believe that this day is not far away from us, haha." The old man in yellow said with an excited laugh.

It's just a little strange that the man in red robe is much younger than the old man in yellow, but he is called Master by the old man in yellow, which is really hard to understand.

After talking for a few words at the entrance of the cave, the two looked at each other, and then strode into the dark cave in front of them.

When the two disappeared at the entrance of the cave, the originally desolate Black Stone Valley returned to its former tranquility.
