77 One strike, a hundred cuts! Keep going!

Then came a series of rapid whistling sounds. Corpses on the ground and hordes of ghosts in the air attacked swiftly! In this dark gray world, a paradise for ghosts, the underworld was opened, allowing ghosts to roam freely and depart.

'Haha, good timing! Ghost King, why don't you come yourself instead of sending these little devils to their deaths?'

The Ghost King, his previous angry expression gone, pulled out an old palm-leaf fan from who-knows-where.

He said casually, "In my territory, why don't you deal with those little devils first? Don't you humans always say, 'It's easier to get past the King of Hell than to deal with his underlings'?"

He then burst into laughter. His mouth, as big as a washbasin, was filled with sharp, barbed teeth, and his face was covered in fleshy growths. He was laughing!

That was terrifying! In my mind, I thought, 'This is a place of yin energy; if a mortal enters, the yin energy will seep into their body. Let's see how long you can hold out! Let this little devil wear you down first! I'm so clever!'

"Lord He, you should break through first and report to the Demon Slayer Bureau. Otherwise, if this continues, it will lead to disaster."

Piao Miaoyue thought resolutely, "Although I still have some tricks up my sleeve, the Ghost King is here, and the difference in strength is too great. It's all in vain!"

'What a kind heart!' I thought to myself.

Then he smiled and said, "Moon, don't worry. If you go out this time, will you call me your lover?"

'My love, it's a wonderful thing that you two can die together. After you become ghosts, I'll let you be together every day. How wonderful!'

Although the Ghost King appeared nonchalant, he had been watching closely! Hearing this, he was extremely displeased, thinking to himself, 'I was even planning to take you as my bride!'

Then, with a rapid sound, the surrounding demons attacked quickly under immense pressure.

"Shen Lang," the person whispering in her ear blushed deeply. Her voice was barely audible. But the thought of having someone to protect her filled her with a profound sense of security.

I heard, "Hold me tight." Instinctively, I hugged her tighter and wouldn't let go.

"Haha, well said, I like it! Watch how my lover slays this ghost king!" Immediately, the divine bell shield expanded a thousand layers, enveloping the ethereal moon within.

As the inner energy flowed, lightning and fire dragons intertwined on the blade, automatically triggering the properties of the Wind Spirit Stone! Wind, fire, and lightning hissed and crackled!

Piaomiaoyue gazed upon the fierce and domineering figure, his boundless ambition and emperor-like aura captivating her. She was mesmerized, completely mesmerized. Her hands were tightly wrapped around his waist, trying to press herself even closer, so as not to hinder the imposing figure from drawing his sword.

A thousand ghosts attacked, in all shapes and sizes: hanged, violently murdered, decapitated, missing arms and legs. And some were too gruesome to behold! A thousand skeletons, ragged and mechanical, charged forward.

Enraged, his eyes blazing, he thought, 'You all deserve to die!'

He roared at the Ghost King, "Today, killing you will be a fitting sacrifice for the dead."

Then, charge into the horde of ghosts! No more holding back on your swordsmanship; you need to conserve your energy and true qi to deal with the Ghost King. Better safe than sorry!

A dazzling display of sword light, like fireworks, exploded before the ethereal moon, unleashing a storm of thunder and fire! The wind amplified the thunder and fire on the sword, creating a series of extraordinary phenomena!

Standing in mid-air, his greatsword sweeping across the sky, he unleashed a full-force slash upon the multitude of ghosts. A single strike, a hundred cuts—the white blade, the thunderous fire, the gentleman's blade—simultaneously slashed horizontally!

Then, screams filled the air. "Ah!" "Ah!" The sounds were inescapable!

The single slash stunned the ethereal moon. Only her tightly clenched hands could betray her inner turmoil. Magnificent, yet reassuring. 'Perhaps this is what I've always wanted!'

The Ghost King was also taken aback. He saw that the spiritual energy on the Gentleman's Blade had transformed into lightning and flames, with wind even amplifying the thunder and fire. Lightning and fire were the most effective counter to ghosts like them.

In his heart, he thought, 'It was definitely the right thing to do! Let these mindless brats exhaust the Martial King's true energy first! This Yin Land isolates the outside spiritual energy, preventing it from being replenished at will. The Martial King will then be nothing more than a brute's strength! Haha, let's see if he doesn't die soon!'

Then he noticed the Hundred Slashes phenomenon! Moreover, the ghosts that were being slashed were struck by lightning and scorched by white flames. They quickly turned to ashes and could not regenerate in the yin land.

Even in the realm of the dead, ghosts can regenerate after death; their remnant souls gather and become new little ghosts. But now, lightning strikes and flames scorch—these are the bane of ghosts!

"You absolutely must not leave today, otherwise it will be a great calamity for the ghosts in the future!" Seeing the other little ghosts instinctively retreat in fear, the urgent voice was then uttered.

"Attack, attack!" Some of the ghosts made a screeching sound, extremely harsh and unpleasant, making one's head spin!

Seeing the rapidly approaching, barely visible kill point indicator, I was overjoyed! The ghost retreated, but the one wielding the knife refused to back down!

Instead of retreating, he advanced! With a single step, he instantly arrived at the area where the most ghosts gathered. He charged in and unleashed a full-force chop!

Hundred Slashes neatly chopped down one hundred demons!

Flames and thunder roared, engulfing everything in ablaze. The environment resembled one of thunder and fire.

An eighth-tier Martial Emperor creates illusions to suppress opponents and improve himself!

Of course not right now! Moreover, the lightning and fire not only ignite the halved ghosts, but also any ghosts that come into contact with it. It's just like dry grass near a fire—it'll catch fire at the slightest touch!

Then, ignoring everything else, he charged into the area teeming with ghosts. A storm of blades flashed, like a hundred men slashing horizontally, a hundred men chopping vertically, a hundred men being cut in half!

The speed was too fast; in an instant, all that could be seen were unburnt flames, accompanied by rolling thunder!

The ethereal moon was so captivated by the sight that she wanted to close her eyes and drift off to sleep! She was afraid of missing out on this wondrous spectacle! But her earlier fear vanished like a dragonfly!

Fearless skeletons swarmed around. At this moment, the Ghost King's face was gloomy, no longer as calm as before.

In his hand was a six-foot-long, three-pronged steel fork, glowing green. This was a Yin Earth poison, extremely insidious. If it broke through human skin, it would instantly turn into blood. Even he himself would suffer immense harm. He usually cherished it greatly, but now it was coated on the steel fork.

More than a thousand skeletons attacked fearlessly. He Chen slashed out with a single stroke, the force of which cleaved five skeletons in two. The kill point flashed by.

But the skeleton, broken in two, miraculously stood up again, one on top of the other, and attacked once more. So another slash landed, and the kill point passed.

"Haha!" He Chen laughed loudly. "Is there really such a good thing?"

Then, a bizarre scene unfolded. A single slash unleashed a hundred cuts, the blade flashing like rain, severing the skeletons on the ground in two. Then, in a single step, he arrived at the gathering of skeletons. Facing the skeletons, he unleashed another hundred slashes, without using any internal energy cultivation technique. The skeletons were severed in two.

Kill points were racking up rapidly. Then, standing still, skeletal claws, broken swords, and shattered blades pierced his body, buzzing loudly! He just kept slashing, each strike cutting through a hundred skeletons, leaving the skeletons on the ground in countless pieces.

After being slashed more than twenty times, the skeleton on the ground stopped moving.

He said with some disappointment,

'Ghost King, hurry up and make the skeletons move! I want more!'
