Chapter 119: The Divine Sword Lightning Summoning True Art Reappears
At this moment, beneath the Dead Spirit Abyss, after Zhang Xiaofan had separated from Qi Hao and the others, he controlled his magical treasure and plunged downward at high speed.
Although he only possessed the cultivation of the Seventh Level of Jade Purity Realm, within the Dead Spirit Abyss he moved as freely as a fish in water.
Those specters scattered and retreated upon seeing Zhang Xiaofan, especially when they sensed the aura of the Soul-Devouring Bead on his body, instinctively feeling fear.
That fear stemmed from the lingering memories of agony from when their essence blood had been devoured by the Soul-Devouring Bead before death. Even though their strength had grown, they still harbored deep dread toward it.
As Zhang Xiaofan rapidly descended, he searched for his fellow disciples while worrying about Lu Xueqi’s safety.
In the original story, Lu Xueqi had once been injured and fallen into the Dead Spirit Abyss. Back then, the two had supported each other to escape alive.
Although he knew her strength was formidable this time, having witnessed many powerful strange spirits along the way, Zhang Xiaofan could not help but feel anxious.
In addition, he was also concerned about Bi Yao.
With Bi Yao’s current strength, if she entered the Dead Spirit Abyss, she would very likely encounter danger.
Bi Yao had been his regret in his previous life. In this life, he was determined to protect her safety for her entire lifetime.
Meanwhile, after annihilating the red-robed specter, Lu Xueqi continued descending deeper.
As she went further down, the number of specters she encountered increased steadily.
Facing these enemies, she directly unleashed the All-Heavens Divine Thunder, blasting the specters into powder, then gathered the deathly black qi condensed from them to comprehend it.
As her comprehension deepened, her understanding of the laws of death grew ever more profound, and her cultivation rose accordingly.
Originally, she had relied on the chat group to reach the peak of the Second Level of the Supreme Purity Realm.
Now, due to her comprehension of laws, she broke through without any bottleneck to the early stage of the Third Level of the Supreme Purity Realm, and was still slowly advancing.
The increase in strength made Lu Xueqi feel rather pleased.
However, as she continued descending, the strange spirits she encountered not only grew in number, but most of them had also developed spiritual intelligence.
The moment these strange spirits saw her, they all pounced forward, wanting to devour her.
Yet in Lu Xueqi’s eyes, they were nothing more than moths flying into a flame.
Along the way, lightning flickered all over her body, and amid booming thunder she continuously annihilated these strange spirits.
Her fierce reputation gradually spread throughout the Dead Spirit Abyss.
At this moment, the strongest king-level strange spirits of the Dead Spirit Abyss heard of Lu Xueqi’s name.
One of the Ghost Kings, after brief contemplation upon Lu Xueqi approaching his territory, led more than a hundred strange spirits to surround her.
At this time, after Lu Xueqi casually killed a strange spirit at the First Level of the Upper Purity Realm, she suddenly sensed countless powerful auras surging from ahead.
Her figure paused slightly, yet she showed no fear and instead moved to meet them.
When the two sides encountered each other, she looked around and saw that among the more than one hundred strange spirits, even the weakest possessed the Ninth Level of Jade Purity Realm cultivation, with more than ten at the First to Third Levels of the Upper Purity Realm.
Among them, the most powerful Ghost King was seated atop a ghostly horse, staring at Lu Xueqi with excitement, his eyes filled with eagerness, agitation, and greed.
Lu Xueqi’s expression turned solemn. From this ghost, she sensed the strength of the Sixth Level of the Upper Purity Realm.
This ghost wore armor like an ancient general, wielding a pitch-black long blade condensed from deathly qi. His eyes were blood-red, glowing faintly with crimson light.
His figure was no different from that of an ordinary person, and his face was almost corporeal. If not for the dense deathly aura surrounding him, he could nearly be mistaken for a living human.
The moment the Ghost King saw Lu Xueqi, the greed in his eyes intensified further.
In life, he had been a mountain bandit. After being abducted along with his underlings by the Blood Refining Hall and killed on Kong Sang Mountain, his consciousness had remained muddled within the Dead Spirit Abyss.
Until a month ago, when a strange aura surged in, his spirit body recovered, and his strength skyrocketed. In just one month, he reached his current realm and, relying on overwhelming power, became one of the six Spirit Kings of the Dead Spirit Abyss.
He had never seen such a beauty, and he also sensed an extremely dense life force from Lu Xueqi.
He thought that if he could devour the woman before him, his death-condensed body might regain vitality, perhaps even return to being a true living being.
This made the Ghost King unbearably greedy. Coupled with having heard of Lu Xueqi’s “ferocious reputation” earlier, he resolved to capture her, devour her flesh, refine her soul, and turn her into a ghost slave to accompany him day and night.
The Ghost King looked at Lu Xueqi and said in a deep voice, “Human woman, was it you who has been killing strange spirits in the Dead Spirit Abyss and throwing this place into chaos?”
Lu Xueqi replied coldly, “And who are you? Trying to stop me?”
The Ghost King was momentarily stunned. He had not expected that facing the many experts under his command, this woman could still remain so calm. This only deepened his interest in Lu Xueqi.
After all, such a courageous woman was exceedingly rare in the world.
He bellowed loudly, “I am the Ghost King of the Dead Spirit Abyss! I ask you now—are you willing to submit to me and become my queen?”
Lu Xueqi narrowed her eyes. She had not expected that the strange spirit before her was precisely the king-level ferocious spirit mentioned by the red-robed strange spirit earlier.
This made Lu Xueqi sigh softly.
She had originally thought that the king-level ferocious spirit mentioned by that red-robed woman would be a powerhouse above the Supreme Purity Realm, but she did not expect that this so-called king-level ferocious spirit was only comparable to the Sixth Level of the Upper Purity Realm.
This left Lu Xueqi slightly disappointed. After all, she was currently in urgent need of more deathly qi to comprehend laws and increase her strength. Naturally, the stronger the strange spirits, the better.
Lu Xueqi scolded coldly, “Wishful thinking! A mere Ghost King like you is simply courting death!”
Upon hearing this, the Ghost King’s expression instantly darkened.
Since becoming a Ghost King a month ago, he had subjugated countless strange spirits. Under the intimidation of his formidable strength, even magic-general-level ghosts dared not disobey him.
He had never imagined that a human woman would dare to refuse him. If not for coveting her beauty, he would have long ordered his subordinates to tear her to pieces.
Suppressing his anger with difficulty, the Ghost King said coldly, “If that is the case, then don’t blame this king for being ruthless!”
With a wave of his right hand, more than a hundred ghosts around the Ninth Level of Jade Purity Realm swarmed forward.
Lu Xueqi’s expression remained unchanged as she sneered, “No matter how many ants there are, how could they shake the heavens?”
She waved her right hand, and a swath of golden lightning erupted instantly, surging toward the ghost horde.
The moment those ghosts touched the lightning, they were instantly reduced to powder, not even having time to let out a scream.
…
The ghosts behind them saw more than twenty companions slain in an instant, and their expressions changed drastically.
Although they had not fully recovered their spiritual intelligence, these ghosts close to magic-general level instinctively stopped in their tracks.
The Ghost King was also shaken. He had not expected this woman’s strength to be so terrifying that even he felt a trace of fear.
But soon, the greed in his eyes grew even stronger—if he could devour the vitality on Lu Xueqi’s body, he would very likely break through his realm, transforming from death to life and becoming a true powerhouse.
Thinking of this, the Ghost King suddenly drew his long blade and shouted fiercely, “All units, attack! Whoever dares to hesitate will be executed without mercy!”
Sensing the Ghost King’s terrifying aura and recalling his usual cruel methods, the ghosts no longer hesitated. Their mountain-like bodies charged forward, stirring up gusts of wind.
Lu Xueqi’s expression turned completely cold. With a wave of her hand, the Tianyao Divine Sword instantly appeared in her grasp.
Thanks to the storage ring she had purchased from Xiao Yan, she no longer needed to carry this sword with her at all times.
Gripping the divine sword, Lu Xueqi stepped into the void and chanted, “Nine Heavens Profound Realm, transform into divine thunder. Vast heavenly might, be drawn forth by the sword!”
She fused the secret art of the All-Heavens Divine Thunder into the Divine Sword Lightning Summoning True Art. In an instant, thunder exploded within a radius of several miles. Golden lightning flashed continuously, illuminating the entire sky.
Such a commotion instantly alarmed the strange spirits within the Dead Spirit Abyss, as well as the righteous disciples and members of the Demonic Sect.
Qi Hao, Lin Jingyu, and Zhang Xiaofan exclaimed in shock, “Divine Sword Lightning Summoning True Art!”
After sensing that terrifying lightning power, Qi Hao could not help but shake his head repeatedly.
This power far exceeded the ordinary—it was not something a normal Divine Sword Lightning Summoning True Art could compare to.
Meanwhile, the Ghost King gazed at the sky.
A trace of unease rose in his heart, yet it only strengthened his resolve to seize Lu Xueqi.
