Long Chen's flying boat silently approached the human territory, and Xia Chen had activated his invisibility ability. Being detected like this meant this Ghost Dao expert had a unique tracking method.
"Whoosh!"
The ghost path expert had just appeared, and something sped toward Long Chen, startling him.
It was a head—it was none other than the head of the Innate Heavenly Venerable from Longteng Trading Company. The Ghost Path being actually killed him with his own hands.
Long Chen was shocked. For an Immortal King-level expert to defeat an Innate Heavenly Venerable was already extremely difficult, and to kill one meant his strength far surpassed the opponent.
"Whoosh."
Long Chen dodged the head in a flash, because he noticed strange runes on it. He didn't dare to take it head-on, fearing he'd fallen into a trap.
"Boom!"
The elder of Longteng Trading Company's head suddenly exploded, and the divine power of the Innate Heavenly Venerable erupted in an instant. The shattered head actually generated the power of the Innate Heavenly Venerable to self-destruct.
Long Chen was shocked. He hadn't expected this ghostly being to possess such terrifying powers; he couldn't dodge this strike.
Because if he dodged, the terrifying shockwave would rush straight toward Bai Shishi and the others behind him.
Maybe Bai Shishi, Bai Xiaole, Guo Ran, and Xia Chen could handle it, but Mu Qingyun, Luo Bing, Luo Ning, Zhong Ling, and Zhong Xiu were very likely to be crushed by this terrifying explosive power.
"Boom!"
Long Chen shouted angrily, golden divine light swirling throughout his body as he summoned the Dragon King battle body to block head-on. When struck by that terrifying force, Long Chen felt as if he had been struck by a meteor, his blood surging violently, nearly coughing up a mouthful of fresh blood.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
The void behind Long Chen shattered like a mirror, cracks piercing the sky, and Long Chen was right at the center of the web-like crack.
At that moment, Long Chen's blood and energy surged through his body like a tsunami, his power surging wildly like a wild horse unleashed, and Long Chen suddenly lost control of his body.
"Die."
The ghostly path being seemed to have anticipated this scene all along. Holding a white bone dagger, he stabbed straight at Long Chen's forehead. His movements were ghostly and unfathomable.
Long Chen watched helplessly as the bone dagger was about to pierce his brow, but his body refused to obey.
At that moment, Long Chen was both shocked and furious. He had fallen into the trap of the ghost path beings. He possessed all his strength but could not use it.
"Clang"
Just as the Bone Dagger was about to pierce Long Chen's brow, a golden longsword sliced through the void, knocking it flying.
It was Bai Shishi who intervened, saving Long Chen's life at the critical moment. Bai Shishi broke out in a cold sweat from fear. Fortunately, she had already fused her sword, which moved with her heart and could strike instantly. If she had been a moment slower, Long Chen would have been finished.
But the moment the sword shattered the bone dagger, Bai Shishi let out a muffled groan. The golden sword was now tainted with a black aura, which traced along the sword and began to erode her palm.
The ghostly cultivator seemed unprepared for Bai Shishi to block his deadly strike. Bai Shishi's golden power was so powerful that he couldn't keep his balance, sending him flying backward.
"Go to hell, you little brat."
Guo Ran roared in anger, donning armor and wading his battle blade at him. It had been too close just now—the boss nearly lost his life. Furious, he slashed fiercely with his blade.
Guo Ran's speed was extremely fast, and he found the perfect opportunity. With one strike, he slashed right along the path where the ghost cultivator was retreating, mastering the timing to the finest degree. This strike was enough to prove Guo Ran's strength.
The ghostly being couldn't dodge in time and was cut in half by Guo Ran's blade. But to Guo Ran's shock, the blade passed through his body, turning into a cloud of black mist, yet it didn't harm him in the slightest.
"Physical to illusory?"
Guo Ran was shocked. Who exactly was this person's background?
"Heaven-Shaking Talisman"—
With Xia Chen's sharp shout, a talisman exploded in the black mist with a thunderous explosion, instantly dispersing the black mist.
But the drifting black mist rapidly condensed again, completely unaffected by Xia Chen's talismans.
"Heavenly Eye Seas Heaven and Earth" Suddenly,
a huge pupil appeared in the world, with three flowers converging within it. As the three-flower pattern appeared, all the black energy in the world was instantly locked onto it.
"It's an ocular technique."
Amidst the endless black mist, the astonished cries of ghostly beings echoed. Bai Xiaole activated his ocular technique, restraining his movements.
"But with your eye technique, don't even think about trapping me!"
The ghostly creature sneered. Amidst swirling black mist, his figure reappeared, forming hand seals with both hands.
"Ghost Spirit Release!"
The ghostly path creature shouted coldly, and suddenly the pattern in the void shattered. Bai Xiaole's eye technique was still a bit lacking and couldn't trap him.
"Pfft"
But just as he broke free from his restraints, a sword aura shot straight into the void, precisely piercing his skull.
The ghostly being's head shattered, but there was no trace of blood. The head scattered into a cloud of black mist, and this strike still couldn't harm him.
A look of shock appeared on Mu Qingyun's face. This sword strike was her wholehearted and spiritual, carrying her purest swordsmanship will, yet it still could not shake this terrifying being.
"Sword cultivator?" Unfortunately, your cultivation isn't high enough to harm my origin. If you keep growing, maybe you can do it.
But I won't give you a chance. Go to hell! "That ghostly realm being suddenly vanished.
When he reappeared, he was already standing before Mu Qingyun, the white bone dagger in his hand like the fangs of a venomous snake, stabbing fiercely at him.
"Buzz!"
Just as Mu Qingyun knew it was useless and was about to fight back desperately, a thunderous longsword roared down, carrying the will to destroy all beings.
"Boom!"
With a thunderous explosion, the ghostly being was pushed back by Long Chen's sword. Long Chen had arrived. At this moment, Long Chen's face was filled with murderous intent as he forced the ghostly creature back with a single sword strike. In his left hand, he fiercely struck out a thunder orb.
"World-Destroying Lightning!"
"Boom!"
The thunderball shot out, and the ghost path beings immediately sensed danger. The power of thunder suppressed the ghost path, and he tried to escape, but unfortunately, Long Chen had already calculated the distance and detonated it directly.
With a loud explosion, lightning covered the sky. The ghostly realm being could no longer turn into black mist and was sent flying backward by the terrifying blast.
"Pfft!"
He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, the black mist vanished, revealing his face. When they saw his face, everyone was startled.
It was not a human at all, but a corpse; his face had decayed, visible white bones, looking like a decayed corpse crawling out of a graveyard.
The blood he spat was pitch black, as black as ink, and it seemed something was writhing inside, looking extremely terrifying.
"Giving back without reciprocity is impolite, and you should take my move."
After a brief moment of shock, Long Chen's long sword pointed to the sky, lightning shining across the world. The thunder rolled across heaven and earth, but was sucked dry by this strike.
"Fourth Form of Heaven-Opening Technique"
"Rumble Rumble... Long
Chen tore through heaven and earth with his sword, carrying endless destructive intent as he slashed at the Ghost Dao beings.
