Chapter 156: Ghost King Faces Tian Buyi
At this moment, after the Ghost King used the Fulong Cauldron to subdue the Divine Beast Kui Niu, a trace of delight could not help but surface on his face.
He had subdued the Divine Beast Kui Niu. If he were to subdue the other three anomalous beasts afterward,
then the Asura power within the Fulong Cauldron would be completely unsealed.
At that time, he would be able to transform into an Asura and lead the Holy Cult to rise.
At present, although the Ghost King’s strength was extremely formidable, he was exceedingly wary of the Qingyun Sect’s Zhuxian Sword Formation.
Every previous appearance of the Zhuxian Sword Formation had produced terrifying might, forged through countless Demonic Sect experts perishing beneath its swords during great battles between righteousness and demonic paths.
This made the Ghost King extremely apprehensive of it.
Moreover, after subduing the Divine Beast Kui Niu, the Ghost King discovered that the moment Kui Niu was drawn into the cauldron, countless streams of blood energy surged into the Fulong Cauldron, completely enveloping Kui Niu.
The power within Kui Niu’s body was being rapidly extracted, and the might of the Fulong Cauldron was increasing swiftly.
The Ghost King conjectured that, at the current rate at which the Fulong Cauldron was extracting Kui Niu’s power, it would not take long
to completely digest Kui Niu. There was no need to wait for the four spirits to gather before truly refining it.
After subduing Kui Niu, the Ghost King could not help but turn his gaze toward the battlefield.
After briefly surveying it, a trace of disdain flashed through his eyes.
At present, although the Holy Cult was at a disadvantage under the fierce assault of the Righteous Path, there were no signs of collapse across the battlefield.
Thus, the Ghost King was not worried. Moreover, if he were to act personally later on, the battle would soon be concluded. At this moment, he also wished to see just how powerful he had truly become—the child’s ultimate investigation, lacquered in Liu Zhou I Mountain Grasping Flow.
With that thought, the Ghost King no longer hesitated. His figure flashed as he leaped toward the battlefield.
At the same time, Tian Buyi and the other Righteous Path experts, who had been closely watching the Ghost King’s direction, were all greatly alarmed upon seeing him enter the fray.
Although the Ghost King rarely made moves throughout the cultivation world, and many Righteous Path members were unclear about his true strength,
as the Sect Master of the Ghost King Sect—one of the four great demonic sects—even at his weakest, he should still be far stronger than the Four Great Protectors of the Ghost King Sect.
This made Tian Buyi and the others, watching the Ghost King charge toward them, feel an involuntary sense of tension.
When Tian Buyi saw the Ghost King rushing over, he suddenly swung the Crimson Flame Immortal Sword in his hand.
In an instant, a massive fire dragon was slashed forth from his sword, forcing Azure Dragon to retreat. Then his figure flashed as he charged straight toward the Ghost King.
Among their group, his strength was the greatest, standing at the Eighth Level of the Upper Purity Realm.
Such strength placed him among the very top within the Qingyun Sect. On the surface, aside from Dao Xuan, no one was his match.
His cultivation had gradually pulled far ahead of the other peak masters. On the entire battlefield, the only one who should be able to stop the Ghost King was likely him alone.
In Tian Buyi’s estimation, the Ghost King’s current strength should be, at most, comparable to the Ninth Level of the Upper Purity Realm of the Qingyun Sect.
With his Eighth Level of the Upper Purity Realm cultivation, holding the opponent back for a time should not be a problem.
However, when the Ghost King saw Tian Buyi charge toward him after driving back Azure Dragon, a trace of disdain flickered through his eyes.
If it were before, he might still have paid Tian Buyi a bit of attention.
But now that his strength had broken through, he naturally did not place the charging Tian Buyi in his eyes at all, regarding him as nothing more than an ant.
After being forced back by Tian Buyi, Azure Dragon was about to rush over to support the Ghost King, when the Ghost King shook his head slightly in his direction.
Seeing this, Azure Dragon immediately understood. This meant that the Ghost King intended to deal with Tian Buyi alone and did not require his assistance.
Azure Dragon nodded faintly. His figure flashed as he rushed toward another part of the battlefield.
With the Ghost King’s entry, the demonic factions’ morale surged. For a time, they gradually recovered from their disadvantage and even showed signs of standing evenly against the Righteous Path.
After leaving that battlefield, Azure Dragon’s figure flashed as he charged toward the direction where Master Shuiyue was located.
At this moment, Master Shuiyue was engaged in a fierce battle with the Withered Wood Ancestor of the Demonic Path. The Withered Wood Ancestor’s strength was comparable to that of an Upper Purity Realm expert of the Qingyun Sect.
However, he was still a notch weaker than Master Shuiyue and was barely holding on under her attacks.
Just as Master Shuiyue forced the Withered Wood Ancestor into a desperate situation and was about to kill him, a gust of fierce wind came from behind her, and a bizarre spell suddenly attacked her.
This made Master Shuiyue slightly startled. She immediately turned around and slashed out with her sword.
With a loud boom, Master Shuiyue shattered the incoming spell with a single strike,
yet her figure still staggered backward several steps with a “thump, thump, thump.”
At this moment, Master Shuiyue’s expression became extremely grave,
because she sensed that the newcomer’s cultivation was actually above her own, which shocked her slightly.
She focused her gaze and discovered that it was Azure Dragon, the Ghost King Sect Protector who had previously fought Tian Buyi.
Seeing this, Master Shuiyue became fully serious.
When Azure Dragon had exchanged blows with Tian Buyi earlier, she had only glimpsed it briefly. Azure Dragon’s strength appeared to be at least around the Sixth or Seventh Level of the Upper Purity Realm of the Qingyun Sect. This was clearly stronger than her own peak Fifth Level of the Upper Purity Realm cultivation, making Master Shuiyue feel involuntarily tense. 767（Watching exhilarating content? Go online!）
On Tian Buyi’s side, after charging toward the Ghost King, he did not dare to be careless in the slightest. With a midair slash, a terrifying crimson sword radiance cleaved toward the Ghost King.
Yet when the Ghost King saw Tian Buyi’s strike, he revealed a look of disdain.
Only when the sword radiance was about to strike him did he slightly raise his hand and flick his finger.
In an instant, demonic qi overflowed from his fingertip as a terrifying beam of demonic light flashed forth.
This demonic light seemed to possess immense power. At the very moment it collided with Tian Buyi’s crimson sword radiance, the radiance shattered instantly, with no chance of forming any momentum at all.
Upon seeing this, Tian Buyi was greatly alarmed. This was far beyond his expectations.
At this moment, a bad conjecture arose in Tian Buyi’s heart熘吆奇E①迩8泗 咝八玥漪. Could this Ghost King have reached that legendary realm?
If that were truly the case, today would be extremely dangerous.
Not only for him, but for the entire Righteous Path as well. This caused a trace of doubt and unease to arise in Tian Buyi’s heart.
When the Ghost King saw the shock and suspicion in Tian Buyi’s eyes, he could not help but sneer and say, “Tian Buyi, is this all the ability you have?”
