Chapter 186: Point-Blank Killing of the Ghost King
Afterward, the Ghost King stood high in the sky and engaged Lu Xueqi in a “guerrilla battle.”
He continuously used his Spiritual Power from a distance to control the Fulong Cauldron to bombard Lu Xueqi, not daring to approach even in the slightest.
Whenever Lu Xueqi threw a punch, he had to use boundless blood qi to resist the terrifying force transmitted from the Fulong Cauldron.
After several probing exchanges, Lu Xueqi discovered that with her terrifying Physical Body Strength, eliminating the Ghost King should have been an easy matter.
However, the Ghost King’s Asura body was far too bizarre. His physical body could reorganize endlessly, which indeed made things troublesome.
In that case, if she wished to truly resolve the Ghost King once and for all, she had to use Spiritual Energy.
She no longer forcefully resisted the Fulong Cauldron. Instead, she calmly watched the massive cauldron smash toward her again and said coldly:
“Ghost King, I have played enough. Now let us truly fight!”
After speaking, Lu Xueqi waved her right hand. Countless golden lightning bolts manifested, transforming into a terrifying Thunder Dragon that blasted toward the Fulong Cauldron and the Ghost King.
The Fulong Cauldron rang out repeatedly under the bombardment of Lightning Power, and the blood qi surrounding the Ghost King was continuously scattered by the golden thunder.
Several times, the Ghost King failed to dodge in time, and his physical body was blasted into charred remains by the lightning. Fortunately, his blood qi had not been exhausted, allowing him to barely recover.
But at this moment, facing Lu Xueqi, he no longer had any strength to fight back. His heart was filled with despair.
Meanwhile, within Qingyun Sect, the battle situation was exceptionally dire.
Although Puzhi and Yun Yilan had joined the fray, they led their respective disciples to put in effort without real force, intending to let Qingyun Sect and the Demonic Sect exhaust each other through mutual slaughter.
The experts of Qingyun Sect sensed the abnormality of Yun Yilan and the others, but since this was the sect’s own headquarters, they had no choice but to defend with their full strength.
After suppressing his injuries, Daoxuan had recovered considerably and forced himself to fly into the battlefield.
With Daoxuan, a powerhouse of the Supreme Purity Realm, joining the fight, the Demonic Path gradually fell into a disadvantage. Even though figures such as Jade Yangzi and the Poison God attempted to block him, they were no match for Daoxuan.
Just as the situation began to improve, a sudden loud explosion erupted from the heavens—
A gigantic cauldron crashed into one of Qingyun Sect’s mountain peaks. Half of the peak collapsed with a thunderous roar.
Such a commotion drew the attention of both the Righteous and Demonic sides.
Immediately after, a blood-colored light sphere smashed into the mountain ridge, blasting out a deep crater. A peerless figure stepped forth, her speed reaching the extreme.
The blood-colored light formed by the Ghost King re-condensed within the crater. His face was as pale as paper.
His clash with Lu Xueqi had already severely depleted his blood qi. Every strike of hers filled him with terror. If not for relying on his undying dharma body, he would have long since perished.
The Demonic Path members were greatly alarmed. If the Ghost King were defeated, and no one remained to restrain Lu Xueqi, then with her might, who among them could possibly block her?
Jade Yangzi of the Longevity Hall was especially horrified. He had not expected the Ghost King to be so powerful and yet still fall into a disadvantage against Lu Xueqi, clearly on the verge of defeat.
On Qingyun Sect’s side, morale soared, and Daoxuan revealed a look of joy.
At this rate, they only needed to hold out a little longer. It was merely a matter of time before Lu Xueqi resolved the Ghost King.
Once she achieved victory, the remaining Demonic Path experts would be lambs awaiting slaughter. There would not even be a need to use the Zhuxian Sword Formation.
This made Daoxuan secretly heave a sigh of relief. The baleful aura within the Zhuxian Sword Formation was far too terrifying. He still had no proper method to suppress it. If it could be avoided, all the better.
The Ghost King’s face was deathly pale as he looked at Lu Xueqi with terror in his eyes. He knew that if this dragged on, he would certainly die. Thus, he roared at the Poison God of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect:
“Poison God, at a time like this, are you still not using your trump card?”
The Poison God hesitated. His trump card possessed boundless might, yet it was extremely difficult to control.
Although he had previously inscribed countless formation patterns upon that “thing,” he still lacked absolute confidence.
But with the Demonic Path now in dire straits, he gritted his teeth and replied, “Ghost King, rest assured. I will summon the trump card now!”
Hearing their exchange, Lu Xueqi was inwardly astonished. The Ten Thousand Poison Sect still had a trump card?
Her gaze turned toward the Poison God. She saw green poisonous mist erupt around him in clusters, dyeing an open space of Qingyun Sect into emerald green.
Strangely, the entire Qingyun Mountain began trembling under the Poison God’s manipulation.
Lu Xueqi’s expression changed drastically. She immediately released her Spiritual Power to investigate and discovered that in a secluded, deep place beneath Qingyun Mountain, a gigantic Giant Coffin was breaking through the earth under the Poison God’s guidance, flying toward Qingyun Mountain.
She cried out, “Everyone, be careful! A terrifying being is descending from beneath the mountain!”
Seeing Qingyun Mountain shaking violently, Daoxuan and the others instantly sensed something was wrong and retreated away from the Poison God.
The Poison God burst into wild laughter. “Daoxuan, even with Lu Xueqi, what can you do? Today you will surely perish!”
Amid his laughter, the gigantic Giant Coffin rose into midair above Qingyun Mountain. Boundless sinister aura spread everywhere, and even Lu Xueqi felt a chill.
The Giant Coffin slowly opened. Inside lay a shriveled corpse. Though it appeared asleep, it emitted a terrifying aura as if capable of destroying everything.
The Poison God flew to the side of the Giant Coffin, his eyes burning with fanaticism. “Corpse God, if you do not awaken now, when will you?”
He suddenly slapped his chest and spat out clusters of Essence Blood into the Giant Coffin.
The corpse instantly absorbed the Essence Blood and slowly awakened.
In an instant, a towering aura erupted. Within a hundred-li radius of Qingyun Mountain, dense dark clouds gathered and thunder rolled, as if heavenly punishment were about to descend to completely annihilate the ominous being within the coffin.
Lu Xueqi’s expression grew solemn. She no longer paid attention to the Ghost King. Her figure flashed as she rushed toward the Giant Coffin.
The thing inside had not yet fully awakened. If she could destroy it with full force now, it might spare them much trouble.
But just as Lu Xueqi flew out, a gigantic Fulong Cauldron collided toward her like thunder.
Lu Xueqi’s expression changed abruptly as she shouted angrily, “Ghost King! You are courting death!”
This time, she no longer held back. She suddenly extended a finger. Power of Death surged and condensed upon her right hand, instantly forming into a pitch-black light sphere at her fingertip, which shot toward the Fulong Cauldron.
The moment the pitch-black light sphere appeared, the Ghost King’s face turned utterly horrified.
That dense aura of death instantly reminded him of Lu Xueqi’s fatal strike during the battle at Flowing Wave Mountain.
He retreated violently, boundless blood qi surging madly into his body as he attempted to withstand the terrifying attack head-on.
“Boom!” A thunderous explosion shattered the sky.
The pitch-black light sphere collided violently with the Fulong Cauldron.
In that instant, the Fulong Cauldron let out a shrill wail. Its surface twisted and deformed, completely losing its shape from the blow.
Immediately afterward, the Fulong Cauldron transformed into a streak of light, carrying the remaining force as it shot back toward the Ghost King.
The Ghost King’s expression changed drastically. In panic, he opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing all remaining blood qi into his body.
In a flash, his form expanded violently, transforming into a terrifying giant several zhang tall.
The giant extended sharp claws, attempting to seize the rebounding Fulong Cauldron and stop the fatal impact.
However, the Ghost King had ultimately been too arrogant.
Even after absorbing an enormous amount of blood qi, he still could not withstand Lu Xueqi’s full-powered strike.
In a split second, the Fulong Cauldron crushed through his body like dry twigs snapping apart. Endless Power of Death spread in all directions.
The mountain peak that had just stood there was instantly reduced to nothingness under that force. The terrifying aftershock caused heaven and earth to tremble.
With a single strike, Lu Xueqi blasted and killed the Ghost King, yet she did not pause.
Her gaze locked onto the “Corpse God” in the sky that was on the verge of awakening. Her figure flashed as she continued flying swiftly toward the source of the crisis.
