When 'God' Decides To Start Over

Chapter 617 - 257: The Path of Old Knife

Jing Li saw one possessed Demon Kingdom person after another rushing over. Unable to open the main gate of Weng City, they turned and charged up the stairs towards the gate tower.

"What should we do?" Sha Chu asked, holding a knife and looking at Li Xiu.

Jiuxiao Yun had already summoned the Demon Shark, prepared to escape at any moment.

Li Xiu summoned the Jedi Knight, blocking the staircase entrance, and slashed at the approaching Evil Ghosts with Blood Light Slash.

Pop!

The Super Spirit’s level 99 Blood Light Slash instantly severed the arm of the leading Evil Ghost, but it seemed unaware of the pain and continued charging forward.

The Jedi Knight furiously slashed with twin blades, dismembering the oncoming Evil Ghosts. As their bodies fell, strands of cyan light wafted out, coalescing into Cyan Light Evil Ghosts that launched at the Jedi Knight again.

The Jedi Knight’s Blood Light Slash struck again, slicing the phantom-like Evil Ghosts’ bodies open, with the same result as Jing Li encountered.

No matter how fierce the Jedi Knight’s attacks were, it couldn’t truly kill the Evil Ghosts.

"This is real trouble, let’s run!" Jiuxiao Yun exclaimed in fright.

"Sha Chu, return to the building and guard the Demon Refining Furnace," Li Xiu instructed Sha Chu.

Sha Chu murmured a quick acknowledgment and ran back inside.

Seeing the Jedi Knight being forced to retreat by the overwhelming Evil Ghosts, Li Xiu summoned the Forbidden Spear and shot at them.

The Evil Ghosts weren’t particularly fast and lacked external Demonic Light, so Li Xiu thought to try different methods to see if he could kill them.

Li Xiu used the ominous bullet from the Seven Great Taboos. The bullet lodged in the cyan light-condensed body of an Evil Ghost.

It seemed to have some effect, yet at the same time, it didn’t.

The bullet remained stuck inside the Evil Ghost’s body, emitting an eerie blood light. The blood pattern on the bullet flickered intermittently. The blood light seemed to be seeping into the cyan light-condensed body, faintly tingeing the cyan with red. Yet, it appeared to have no effect as the Evil Ghost still rushed at the Jedi Knight unaffected.

The Jedi Knight once again swung its blade at the Evil Ghost, easily cleaving the Evil Ghost’s body apart with Blood Light Slash.

Oddly, this time, the Evil Ghost’s body did not recombine as before. The cyan light-like body exploded and quickly disappeared.

"How did you kill it?" Jiuxiao Yun asked, delighted.

"I don’t know. Try using different attributes of Light Energy to attack the Evil Ghosts," Li Xiu suggested, not overly thrilled with the ominous bullet’s effectiveness against Evil Ghosts, since like the Impossibility Bullet, only seven could be used consecutively, rendering them quite ineffective against so many Evil Ghosts.

Upon hearing this, Jiuxiao Yun hurriedly summoned his magic spirits to attack the Evil Ghosts, but various attributes had no effect on them.

Li Xiu also summoned the Black Death Demon King and Love God Shooter. Black Death Demon King summoned a group of minions to pounce on the Evil Ghosts.

As a result, those cyan light-like Evil Ghosts directly rushed into the body of the Black Death Demon, controlling it to counterattack Li Xiu and the others.

Jing Li below was already unable to hold on. Inside Weng City, all around were Evil Ghosts that he had separated from the Demon Kingdom people’s bodies, swooping down on him from all directions.

Jing Li swung his knife, slashing open the Evil Ghosts’ bodies, and leaped up onto the city wall, shouting at Li Xiu and the others, "These Evil Ghosts have an Undying Body and mustn’t touch our bodies, or we’ll be controlled."

"Damn, how can we fight this? Let’s get out of here!" Jiuxiao Yun shouted as he retreated.

"We must find a way to stop them. If they break through the Trial Gate, Changsheng Tian might be doomed," Jing Li said coldly as he slashed open the advancing Evil Ghosts’ bodies.

"Stop them? How do we stop them? Show me how. These things are Undying, and without the power to counter them, we can’t kill them," Jiuxiao Yun shouted.

Bang!

An Evil Ghost lunging at Li Xiu suddenly shattered into fragments of light and dissolved.

Jiuxiao Yun and Jing Li both turned to Li Xiu, only to see Li Xiu holding a strange mace. When it struck the Evil Ghost, it immediately shattered its Undying Body, causing it to dissipate.

"What kind of weapon is that?" Jiuxiao Yun asked in shock.

Li Xiu didn’t respond, merely wielding the Spiritual Mace to obliterate the Evil Ghosts charging the Jedi Knight.

"Hold the gate tower. As long as the gate tower isn’t breached, they can’t exit through the Trial Gate," Jing Li shouted at Li Xiu.

"Understood," Li Xiu replied, retreating inside with his magical spirits.

Holding the gatehouse doors, he shattered the rushing Evil Ghosts one by one. The Spiritual Mace demonstrated immense power; Evil Ghosts struck by it had no resistance, instantly dissipated.

"What a powerful weapon!" Jiuxiao Yun drooled with envy, feeling a strong urge to defeat Li Xiu and seize his items.

Unfortunately, he didn’t know that even if Li Xiu gave him the Spiritual Mace, he wouldn’t be able to use it.

The Spiritual Mace wasn’t driven by Light Energy but by Li Xiu’s Spiritual Sense.

The Jedi Knight and Jing Li stood on either side of Li Xiu, first slashing the Evil Ghosts out of the possessed Demon Kingdom people, then having Li Xiu smash them with the Spiritual Mace to prevent them from attacking simultaneously and overwhelming Li Xiu.

But more Evil Ghosts kept coming. Weng City was already brimming with them, the stairway crowded, and those that couldn’t climb were scaling the walls. The city walls were also crawling with Evil Ghosts.

In no time, Evil Ghosts had covered the gatehouse town, and some were climbing through the windows, leaving Li Xiu and his companions struggling to cope.
