Chapter 529: Chapter 313: The Difficult Fall of the Proud Heavens_2
But now, all their means to seek help from their senior mentors have failed, and even the two that could summon their ancestors have lost their effect, which is quite terrifying.
According to usual cultivation knowledge, only one that equals their master’s realm can render the many decrees and commands issued by him useless, and turn them into worthless paper and cloth.
However, the measure that could reach the heavens and make the ancestors feel it, and bring down the incarnation, has also lost its effect, which proves that this country’s ruler is not simply a ghost immortal, she has a more terrifying origin. This time, they have provoked an existence they should not provoke.
“Hehe, little human fellows, are you ignoring us?”
“The taste of their flesh and blood is really sweet. I’m somewhat impatient!”
A triple-headed seven-eyed ghost king with six arms impatiently stared at the seriously injured Jin Wuying, Xu Wutian’s true disciple.
“If I could take a bite…”
“Then you could start preparing for the aftermath. Don’t forget the king’s command, capture them alive, and don’t hurt them even a tiny bit.”
A ghost king with red eyes and a single horn, covered in scales, with four wings spreading from its back, kept calm. Even the energy given off by these heavenly beings made it eager, but if it couldn’t restrain its instinctual desires even after practicing this long, how could it possibly stand here.
“If I rip off an arm and a leg to taste, the king won’t blame me, right?”
The muscular, explosion-like body of the ghost king, looking like a mountain of flesh, protruded its dark red tongue, licked its protruding poisonous fangs, and stared at Hua Qingyu, showing a menacing grin.
In its perception, among the five human cultivators, this girl with dazzlingly bright hair looked the most delicious. If it could swallow her, it might be able to advance and become one of the strongest ghost kings.
“You can try, I also want to know whether the king will forgive you this time, considering your past achievements.”
“Then I guess I won’t!”
The ghost king, seemingly slow and dim-witted with his brawny, dark muscles, shook his head. On his ugly, hideous face, oozing with evil and savagery, one could see a genuine reverence and fear.
“Can I just suck a few drops of blood?”
The king, half-man, half-spider, traversed the interconnected, transparent spider webs between the palace buildings. In a short time, she had woven a net over all directions, not sparing even the ground.
“Perhaps you can.”
“I was just saying it, I don’t dare violate the king’s dignity!”
Seeing these ghost kings and the surrounded ghost creatures not making a move, but these five true Daoism disciples sensed something amiss.
“We can’t wait any longer, these ghost creatures are stalling for time, they want to capture us alive.”
“Break out, as long as one of us escapes, we all have a chance.”
Even if they were in a desperate situation, and even their most considerable reliance and immortal weapons were wasted, none of these five true Daoism disciples planned to sit and wait for death, or surrender obediently. Not even if these ghost creatures vowed not to hurt them.
As the saying goes, never trust ghost words. Even if it’s true, none of them wanted to depend on the ghost creatures who craved human flesh and blood.
Being treated like fish on the chopping board, no one could bear it. Even if they died in battle, they would not tolerate such humiliation.
“Kill!”
Even if they were injured by the ghost immortal and faced a ghost king who was a realm higher, the five true disciples showed no fear. They each uniformly faced one, ready to confront the ghost creatures’ blockade and break out of here.
As long as they could escape from here, without being disturbed by the formation here, the items given by senior members of the sect for the sake of survival could come into play. This seemingly trapped situation could be reversed.
“It’s been a long time since I last saw such humans!”
Seeing the five cultivators who were surrounded yet still did not choose to submit, instead choosing to fight, these five Ghost Kings were somewhat surprised.
They dwelled in the netherworld, and most of the human race they encountered were living souls caught through cracks in the underworld. At most, they were low-level cultivators who, faced with Ghost Kings, could only beg for mercy. Some were even scared out of their wits. How could they have the ability and courage to resist?
“Heehee, this is getting interesting!”
The five true inheritors of Taoism displayed their Divine Powers. Under the pursuit of the five Ghost Kings and nearly a hundred ghost generals of similar realm, they struggled to resist and tried to escape from here. Even though they could occasionally overpower and kill a ghost general, this also led to many dangerous situations.
“Worthless, you are all worthless!”
The burly Ghost King, like a mountain of flesh, watched as the blonde girl, whom he had set his sights on, once again turned one of his generals into minced meat with a single punch, scattering it everywhere. Even the possibility of reassembling and reviving was erased, which enraged him.
“What use are you all? How could you infiltrate His Majesty’s palace?”
The mountainous Ghost King pulled out a wolf-tooth club with a wave of his hand, kicked off a ghost general who was blocking his path, and mustered up all his energy to strike, regardless of the consequences.
Amid dodging around, seizing the opportunity, Hua Qingyu stabbed out with her spear once again. She shattered half of a ghost general’s body and felt the mournful wail that the air made as it was torn apart by raw power. She became a streak of light in that moment and vanished from where she was.
The club, which was brandishing only its protruding iron teeth and was larger than any fishmen, crashed onto the ground filled with formation patterns. It set off the formation in an instant, causing a bright light to burst out.
Bang —
This area was like a lake into which a giant stone had been thrown, ripples spreading in circles. The shock wave from this strike made it difficult for ghost generals who were slightly closer to remain standing.
Even so, the ground didn’t show any signs of damage. The wards here were so sturdy it was inconceivable. Hua Qingyu who was avoiding this strike noticed this. Her heart was clear.
Based on the arrangement of the surrounding buildings, she could recognize at a glance that this was not an important area. This was just a very ordinary square corridor, and there was no special secret place hidden underneath it.
But such an ordinary place had such strong protection. Even a furious blow from a Ghost King could not cause any damage. She wondered how terrifying the wards in other places could be.
“You little bug!”
Seeing that her attack didn’t succeed, the mountainous Ghost King became even angrier, hefting his wolf-tooth club and charging toward Hua Qingyu with heavy steps.
“How dare you, insignificant ghost creatures!”
Reduced to being chased by a vile ghost, Hua Qingyu was equally irritated. She had killed not one or two Ghost Kings before. Even if this Ghost King was much stronger than the usual ones, she was confident that she could kill it under normal circumstances at an affordable cost. Now, however, all she could do was evade.
“I’ll butcher you!”
When the wolf-tooth club wielding Ghost King attacked again, Hua Qingyu counter-attacked without retreat, letting out a roar like a dragon’s chant. The air exploded, leaving in the void a trail of lingering light.
Thud ~
A putrid bloom of blood was uttering from the enormous, fat body. The Ghost King, who had thought himself toying with this small human, looked at the penetrating injury on his body, only then did he feel fear.
When he looked up, he realized that those Ghost Kings, whom he normally feared, also got several wounds on their bodies while entangling with a few humans who were obviously one realm weaker than them.
The Ghost Kings realized by now that these five human cultivators were extraordinary. If they had not been restricted by this place and had been seriously injured, even if hundreds of ghost generals surrounded them, they might end up getting one-upped.
