Chapter 159: The Ghost King’s Shock
When Lu Xueqi heard Bi Yao’s voice, she looked in the direction where Bi Yao and Zhang Xiaofan were.
After a brief moment of thought, she guessed that news of her strength had very likely been revealed by Zhang Xiaofan.
After all, earlier in the Dead Spirit Abyss, when she had slain the specters and the Black Water Mystic Serpent, Bi Yao had not been present. Under normal circumstances, Bi Yao should not have known her true strength.
Now that Bi Yao had proactively reminded the Ghost King to be careful, it was obvious that Zhang Xiaofan had let something slip.
Thinking of this, Lu Xueqi could not help but glare fiercely at Zhang Xiaofan.
Zhang Xiaofan was also looking over at that moment. When he saw her glare, he immediately felt somewhat awkward.
He had told Bi Yao these things only because he wanted her to leave as soon as possible. He had not expected Bi Yao to directly warn her father.
Zhang Xiaofan had always harbored great resentment toward the Ghost King. Earlier, the Ghost King had nearly killed his master.
In his previous life, although he had felt guilt toward the Ghost King, at this moment what he felt was far more anger.
If not for Bi Yao, he would have already made a move against the Ghost King.
Moreover, in his previous life, it had ultimately been he who defeated the Ghost King after the latter refined the Fulong Cauldron and transformed into an Asura to storm the Qingyun Sect.
Lu Xueqi soon gathered her thoughts and withdrew her gaze.
In her view, even if the Ghost King knew that she was powerful, so what?
With the Ghost King’s current strength, she still had absolute confidence in slaying him here.
She turned her head to look at the Ghost King and said, “You are the Ghost King?”
The Ghost King nodded, admiration in his eyes. “I never thought there would be someone of your caliber among the Qingyun Sect. I underestimated you.”
Lu Xueqi responded coldly, “Ghost King, though your strength is formidable, in the eyes of my Qingyun Sect you are not worth mentioning. Enough idle talk. The righteous and demonic paths cannot coexist. Today, I will surely slay you!”
The Ghost King did not take it to heart. “Your strength is indeed impressive, but if you want to kill me, can you really do it?”
Lu Xueqi sneered. “You can try!”
The Ghost King’s eyes narrowed slightly as demonic power surged throughout his body. Black and crimson light interwove as terrifying might soared skyward, instantly dispersing the dark clouds overhead and forming a massive pillar of light that enveloped him.
At the same time, his eyes turned blood-red. The Fulong Cauldron before him resonated in response, a surge of crimson power pouring out of the cauldron and drilling into his body, causing his aura to skyrocket once more.
Fully aware of Lu Xueqi’s terrifying strength, the Ghost King unleashed his full power this time, attempting to decide the battle in a single strike.
He suddenly slapped the Fulong Cauldron. In an instant, the cauldron transformed into a streak of light, carrying horrifying force as it blasted toward Lu Xueqi. As it flew, it erupted with a piercing roar, as if traversing spacetime, appearing before Lu Xueqi in the blink of an eye.
Lu Xueqi’s expression remained unchanged. The might of this strike far surpassed the First Level of the Supreme Purity Realm, actually reaching the terrifying level of the Third Level of the Supreme Purity Realm.
However, such strength was still nothing to fear in her eyes.
She did not activate the treasures or divine abilities behind her. Instead, she directly struck out with a palm.
A thunderous “boom” rang out as her palm slammed heavily onto the Fulong Cauldron.
Before the Ghost King’s shocked eyes, Lu Xueqi actually sent the Fulong Cauldron flying with a single palm, causing it to reverse direction and smash back toward him.
The Ghost King’s expression changed drastically as he hurriedly urged his spiritual power to control the Fulong Cauldron.
Only when the cauldron was about to reach him did he barely manage to stop it. Even so, the effort drained him severely—his spiritual power felt as though it had been instantly emptied, and his face turned deathly pale.
He had never imagined that Lu Xueqi would use sheer physical strength to directly slap the Fulong Cauldron away.
After knocking the Fulong Cauldron flying, Lu Xueqi frowned slightly.
She discovered that a strand of blood-red energy had clung to her right hand. This force attempted to corrode her body, devour her flesh, and even carried an eerie effect that could confuse the mind.
If an ordinary person encountered this, it would certainly be extremely dangerous.
But for Lu Xueqi, who had comprehended the Dao of Death and the Dao of Creation, such threats were insignificant.
The Dao of Death surged within her body, and in the blink of an eye she completely dispelled the strange power.
After dispersing the eerie force on her hand, Lu Xueqi raised her head and looked once more at the Fulong Cauldron, murmuring softly,
“This should be the power of Asura.”
Though her voice was low, it was still caught by the Ghost King, an unparalleled powerhouse whose cultivation was equivalent to having broken through the Supreme Purity Realm of the Qingyun Sect.
This made the Ghost King slightly surprised. He had not expected Lu Xueqi to guess the power of Asura.
However, he did not dwell on it. At this moment, his heart was instead shrouded in an intense sense of crisis.
After all, Lu Xueqi had just taken his full-force strike head-on with her physical body alone, and the might she displayed was far too terrifying.
After knocking the Fulong Cauldron away, Lu Xueqi fixed the Ghost King with an icy gaze. “Ghost King, since you have already made your move, take one of mine as well!”
As her words fell, lightning power surged wildly around her body. Golden thunder crackled with sizzling sounds, as if it were about to shatter the void itself.
Lu Xueqi suddenly bent her finger and pointed. A massive phantom of a thunder beast condensed before her, instantly transforming into an incomparably enormous, winding thunder dragon.
“Go!”（If you want exhilarating excitement, go online!）

With her soft shout, the thunder dragon shot forth like an arrow loosed from a bow, violently blasting toward the Ghost King.
When the Ghost King saw the golden thunder dragon, his expression changed abruptly—he sensed a fatal threat from that lightning.
In desperation, the Ghost King poured all his power into the Fulong Cauldron.
In an instant, the cauldron blazed with light. Blood-red radiance surged out, transforming into clusters of glowing orbs that rushed forward to meet the golden thunder.
Lu Xueqi’s thunder dragon seemed alive, dancing its claws as it continuously spat out golden thunder spheres.
Each time it released a thunder sphere, the dragon’s body shrank by a circle, yet it obliterated every incoming blood-red orb.
The Ghost King was horrified. He had never imagined that the thunder dragon would possess such terrifying power.
It turned out that when Lu Xueqi executed the All-Heavens Divine Thunder secret art, she had fused it with the Dao of Creation. This not only doubled the thunder dragon’s might, but also endowed it with intelligence—terrifying beyond measure.
After shattering the blood-red energy spheres, the thunder dragon continued its assault on the Ghost King without losing momentum.
Seeing that evasion was impossible, the Ghost King activated his magic power. The Fulong Cauldron instantly expanded, transforming into a gigantic cauldron suspended in midair.
With a flash, he slipped into the cauldron.
The golden thunder slammed into the Fulong Cauldron with a deafening boom. Terrifying lightning power erupted, completely engulfing the massive cauldron.
Within a hundred-meter radius, everything turned into a sea of lightning, crackling sounds echoing endlessly.
After a long while, the lightning gradually dissipated.
Lu Xueqi’s expression grew solemn—the thunder dragon’s power was astonishing, yet it had failed to inflict fatal damage on the Fulong Cauldron.
However, upon closer inspection, she noticed that the crimson glow on the cauldron had dimmed significantly, clearly indicating massive energy consumption.
Just as Lu Xueqi was observing, a human figure appeared atop the Fulong Cauldron.
It was the Ghost King, reemerging. His expression was extremely ugly. He could clearly sense the violent loss of power within his body and knew that at most he could withstand two more such attacks before falling into dire straits.
He urgently transmitted his voice to Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and the others, “Quick, take my daughter and leave!”
After receiving the message, Azure Dragon and the others exchanged glances. Then, exerting all their strength, they forced their opponents back and dashed toward Bi Yao’s direction.
Tian Buyi and the other righteous path members had been closely watching the battle in the sky. Seeing this, they immediately understood the demonic sect’s intention.
They were preparing to flee.
Although they were shocked by Lu Xueqi’s terrifying strength, at this critical moment, her power undoubtedly acted as a powerful shot in the arm for the righteous path.
Seeing this, Tian Buyi and the others hastily intensified their attacks, determined to stop Azure Dragon and the rest…
