Chapter 161 : Would You Like to Make a Deal with Me
When Zong Xun saw the devastation in the forbidden area, his eyes nearly popped out of his head. How could these damned cultivators still be alive?! They had secretly infiltrated the ghost realm's forbidden area and killed Chi!!!
Chi's essence had been preserved in the life lock using Ling Yu's special bloodline. As long as the essence wasn't destroyed, it would never truly die and could be revived infinitely. However, they would have to start over with raising it from the beginning.
Zong Xun immediately moved to attack, his hand transforming into a ghost claw aimed directly at the young woman's vital points.
Gu Chang'an blocked his attack with his sword, his expression cool and calm. "I am your opponent."
Tang Yanling and Tantai Ming also firmly protected those behind them. The three of them formed a human wall, preventing Zong Xun from advancing another step.
Zong Xun's expression grew increasingly vicious, while a sense of dread also rose in his heart. He never expected the cultivation world to produce such a young Divine Transformation stage cultivator, especially one with an extremely powerful lightning spirit root. The other two were also formidable Nascent Soul cultivators. The three worked together with incredible synergy, their coordination further amplifying their power.
In the past, Zong Xun wouldn't have given them a second thought. But now, with his cultivation having regressed to the peak of Divine Transformation, he found himself truly unable to deal with these three.
His palm moved behind his back, and countless ghost shadows emerged from the dark corners of the wall. They bypassed the three cultivators and rushed towards Chu Sang, who was at the depths of the altar, about to destroy the life lock with her sword.
Chu Sang's fingertips ignited with a bright yellow flame. The dragon's breath strange fire was especially effective against these malevolent vengeful ghosts and evil spirits, even more so than the Buddha's light in terms of offensive capability.
She typically used the Buddha's light for self-protection, while the dragon's breath strange fire was for attacks, particularly large-scale group attacks.
The vengeful ghosts hadn't anticipated this move from her and their expressions changed dramatically. They wanted to flee but it was too late.
The flames spread towards them like wildfire. Even the slightest spark that touched them would instantly engulf their entire being.
This strange fire was different from ordinary flames; it couldn't be extinguished. In the blink of an eye, it had completely incinerated the countless vengeful ghosts, leaving not a trace behind.
Zong Xun's expression immediately changed. He wanted to rush forward but was blocked by Gu Chang'an's sword. "Your opponents are the three of us. Don't disturb Little Junior Sister."
With her Senior Brothers and Sisters holding Zong Xun at bay, Chu Sang focused intently on dealing with the life lock before her.
The life lock was surrounded by countless chains, made of an unknown material. When she struck it with the Mystic Spirit Sword, it didn't leave even the slightest mark.
Using Karma Burns the Three Realms had some effect, but to completely break these chains would take an unimaginably long time.
The advantage of the Mystic Spirit Sword was its versatility and agility, but its drawback was equally obvious—its lack of raw power.
Karma Burns the Three Realms was effective for both single-target and group attacks, with balanced attributes, but its attack power was still slightly lacking.
The black sword silently floated over.
"Use me," it said. "Strengthen your connection with me using your blood, and I can temporarily restore my power to its peak, helping you break this shackle."
This rare, gentle, and persuasive tone suggested it had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Chu Sang narrowed her eyes. She remembered the Weeping Blood Sword in Seventh Senior Brother's hand, which had initially tempted him to feed it blood. It could indeed unleash tremendous potential in a short time, but over time, it was easy to be consumed by the sword and become its puppet.
However, if the sword couldn't shake the swordsman's will, it could never turn the tables and would remain a powerful weapon in the hands of the sword cultivator.
The Weeping Blood Sword had now been tamed by Seventh Senior Brother.
But the Primordial Soul-Chaser, as the foremost of the evil swords, was unwilling to be tamed by a mere human cultivator.
"Well? Do you want to make this deal with me?" Its words barely concealed its excitement, as if it had already imagined the joyous days of becoming the master.
Chu Sang gripped the sword, slicing her palm. In an instant, the fresh blood was completely devoured by the black sword.
The sword's power surged several times over in that moment, and a faint black figure seemed to materialize.
