Chapter 84: The End of an Unlucky Guy
In the cave, which has been cold and gloomy all year round, a heat wave arises under the shining rainbow light due to the appearance of the Pure Yang Sword.
Li Chu held the Chunyang Sword in his hand, facing the Ghost King, who was dozens of feet away.
The clouds were light and the wind was gentle, and he cut it down with one sword.
The moment he raised the tip of his sword, his entire life suddenly flashed through the Ghost King's eyes.
…
It is a ghost derived from the River Styx in the ghost country. Unlike the ghosts transformed from the souls after death, it has never lived in the world of the living.
This kind of pure yin ghost is often gifted, so after hundreds of years of practice, it has the strength of a ghost king.
The hierarchy of the ghost kingdom is very simple and crude. No one cares about wandering ghosts, and slightly stronger vengeful spirits or evil ghosts will be recruited to become ghost soldiers. It may take hundreds of years for a ghost soldier to become a ghost general, and climbing up depends on talent and opportunity. Above the ghost general is the ghost commander, and above the ghost commander is the ghost king.
The Ghost Kingdom is in chaos and there are hundreds of ghost kings, big and small. Life and death often occur, and the gap in strength between them is quite large.
The top ten ghost kings are called the Ten Palaces, and each of them has many lesser ghost kings under their command.
It was initially recruited by the Lord of the Ninth Hall and joined the Ninth Hall.
The Lord of the Ninth Palace was also a ghost from the River Styx, so he takes good care of it.
But the good times did not last long. Not long after it joined, the original Lord of the Ninth Palace was challenged and killed by the Great Ghost King under his command.
When the new Ninth Palace Lord ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to exile the direct descendants of his predecessor.
It was in exile all the way and finally ended up in the Sixth Palace.
Then……
The good times didn’t last long…
The Sixth Palace and the Third Palace went to war.
Disputes over the Yinsha land are not uncommon in the Ghost Kingdom, but it is rare for them to be a large-scale war between two palaces just for the sake of fighting for territory.
It just happened to arrive and catch up.
The end result was a crushing defeat for the Sixth Palace. Although it luckily survived the battle, it surrendered to the Third Palace as a prisoner.
This may not be a bad thing. The Third Hall has been the king of the Ghost Kingdom for thousands of years. Its power is extremely huge, and it is good to have a big tree to lean on for shade.
But the good times didn’t last long…
Less than a hundred years after it joined, the other four halls, unable to stand the Third Hall's overbearing style, formed a joint crusade against it.
The Third Hall Master, one of the strongest men in the Ghost Country, fell.
It promptly defected to the Fifth Palace, the most powerful force in the coalition, and survived.
Later, because of the unfair division of the spoils when dividing the vast territory of the Third Palace, the four palaces fought each other.
The good times... simply never appeared.
The most powerful Fifth Palace was the first to be eliminated. The Fifth Palace Master was seriously injured and fled in panic, leaving all his subordinates behind.
The ghost kings under the Fifth Palace fled everywhere, and it was almost swallowed.
It's tired, it's really tired.
It couldn't understand why ghosts had to be ghosts.
And...it's always particularly difficult for me.
So it was thrown into the Second Palace, the most peaceful palace in the Ghost Kingdom.
The Second Hall Master is one of the oldest ghosts in the world. It has lived through countless years, and it can only be confirmed that it has existed since ancient times.
The current ghost kings do not know how powerful it is, and no one has ever dared to challenge it.
Who would have thought...
Once again, the good times didn’t last long.
Not long after it joined, the Second Hall Master disappeared.
If he was challenged and killed by the ghost king under his command, at least a new king would ascend the throne.
But this sudden disappearance meant that the Second Hall suddenly lost its protective umbrella, and there was no other ghost king who could replace the position of the Second Hall Master.
The leaderless Second Hall suddenly became a popular destination.
The other eight palaces rushed to fight for the food like vicious dogs, and another earth-shattering melee broke out.
That war swept across the entire Ghost Country, causing countless casualties, it was truly horrific.
Ghost kings fall from all major forces every day, not to mention the Second Palace which serves as prey.
So it wanted to join other forces.
But...it was rejected, once, twice, three times...nine times.
The other nine palaces refused to accept it!
Because at this time it has become famous among the many ghost kings - although its strength is not impressive, it has a lot of experience. Whichever hall it joins will bring bad luck to that hall.
The other ghost kings affectionately call it, Lucky Guy.
In a rage, or in other words, with nowhere else to go... it had to rebel against the ghost country and come to the human world.
When it first appeared in the world, it was at its weakest, so it hid in this corpse cave where no one approached, and practiced with the help of the corpse qi in the cave.
Without the replenishment of evil energy after leaving the Ghost Kingdom, its spiritual world will soon dry up. It will be okay for the ghost generals, but the ghost soldiers in the spiritual world will not be able to bear it.
It just so happened that there was an evil place in a nearby town, which temporarily connected the spiritual world with the haunted building.
It felt that this was God's help.
Everything seems to be going well. As long as it waits for its strength to recover, it can become the greatest ghost king within a thousand miles.
This is unimaginable in the ghost country.
It has even envisioned conquering a large territory in the world of the living, and then returning to the ghost country with its subordinates in a mighty force.
Then, I would make all the ghost kings who had looked down on me kneel before me, and loudly say to them, I am not an unlucky person...
Be proud of yourself!
But……
The good times are still here…
Before that day came, an old Taoist priest with the determination to die came.
His fighting style of not hesitating to die together with himself made the Ghost King feel afraid. He was about to avoid his attack, but unexpectedly the opponent counterattacked with a powerful seal.
This letter is all these years...
I didn't do anything to offend anyone, but to encounter something like this is just bad luck.
However, what was even more unfortunate was that today it suddenly discovered that this seal might be used to protect itself...
The moment the seal was broken.
The mighty sword energy also fell down.
After recalling his tragic and short life, the Ghost King couldn't help but feel confused.
Could it be that... I am really...
boom--
A huge column of scarlet sword energy dropped from the sky, piercing through the cave above and the mountain.
In a hurry, the ghost king mobilized all the ghost fires to surround himself, and instantly condensed infinitely and turned into a black egg. The unlucky ghost became an unlucky egg, and the eggshell seemed to be an extremely tough shield.
But when the sword energy column fell on it, there was a slight sound.
puff.
It breaks at the slightest touch.
The Ghost King's mind went blank, leaving only shock.
Although I am very unwilling, it seems... I will never have the chance to go back... I feel so unwilling to die here.
Its sinful dark silver body disappeared in a second, turning into invisible and ashes, without even a speck of dust left.
Li Chu clenched the Chunyang Sword with slight excitement.
I finally got the special effects...
A burst of white light that only he could see gathered on his body, and he felt instantly satisfied.
The experience points given by this ghost king are ridiculously high!
Li Chu hasn't leveled up much recently, but the experience points gained from killing the big evil spirits have pushed him to level 75.
It seems that if you want to become rich, you still have to make a fortune.
…
Just when Li Chu went to rescue Gongsun Rou, he did not notice that a vague ghost quietly slipped out of the cave.
This is the extremely weak remnant of soul that is produced after the death of a powerful creature due to extreme unwillingness, anger, resentment and other emotions.
This ghost is immortal. If it is found a suitable place and nurtured for thousands of years, it may be able to restore its spirit and memory of its previous life.
There are even ghosts in the human world who have become immortals through cultivation.
But……
This weak ghost floated to the entrance of the Corpse Cave, but was discovered by a pair of skull eyes flashing with ghostly light.
"Hehe, ghost... I guess the little Taoist must have been very unwilling before he died? There shouldn't be many geniuses like him in the world, but he became the stepping stone for the king to break the seal."
It grinned and raised its finger.
puff.
The ghost was crushed to death very easily.
Just as the king has instructed, no one can escape from this cave, not even a trace of soul!
At this point, everything the Ghost King had in the human world completely disappeared.
Hearing the sounds in the cave calm down, Hong Ling said, "Let's go and welcome the king out of the mountain!"
"Yeah!" Bai Jian nodded.
The Painted Skin and the Skeleton walked into the cave together, smiling...

Alas, friends who have been reading earlier should remember that I said before that I was not feeling well and had not recovered. I went to the hospital again today. I will see if I can try to finish two more chapters.
