Liu Chen glanced at the bound crowd and rushed straight towards Gui Li.
"It seems they have no intention of helping you!"
Gui Li hurriedly met the enemy, raising his hand to unleash the Ghost Spirit Claw.
The eerie ghostly energy instantly formed a ghostly claw, appearing within three zhang of Liu Chen and viciously grabbing at his throat.
However, when the ghostly energy approached Liu Chen's body, it was easily burned away by the burning golden light.
Not only did it fail to harm Liu Chen, but Gui Li's right hand also showed signs of burning.
"This...this is the power of merit?"
Only the power of merit can easily suppress ghostly energy.
But Liu Chen was already right in front of him, so Gui Li could only manipulate the Ghost Ring to condense layers of ghost energy shields around his body.
However, the black light was instantly defeated when it touched the golden light, and Liu Chen easily closed in on it.
Liu Chen didn't give him a chance to defend himself at all, and instead blasted towards his chest.
Gui Li's pupils contracted sharply, a shadow of death looming over his heart. "How... how is this possible?"
Even if the power of merit can suppress ghostly energy, it should at least be able to put up some resistance!
Everything changed too suddenly.
Fortunately, Hong Yuan reacted quickly, and the ghost sword stabbed straight at Liu Chen's throat.
This sword strike was fierce; Liu Chen either had to give up on killing Gui Li or be severely injured by it.
Given such a significant advantage, no one would consider risking their life for another.
Having exhausted all other options, Hong Yuan had no choice but to resort to the strategy of "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao" in order to force Liu Chen to back down.
But to their surprise, Liu Chen seemed completely unconcerned.
The golden light on his right fist shone even brighter, breaking straight through the ghostly energy's defenses, and even smashing Gui Li's natal magic weapon in half with a single punch.
Gui Li tried to back away, but it was too late.
The punch caused his sternum to cave in.
Gui Li flew backward like a kite with a broken string.
Meanwhile, Hong Yuan's ghost sword pierced deeply into Liu Chen's right chest.
As the ghostly figure stood in mid-air, it couldn't help but let out a mournful wail.
"Damn it, damn it, you actually managed to cultivate the Fire of Merit?"
The physical injuries are not fatal at the moment.
However, the opponent's fist was wreathed in flames formed from the light of merit.
Upon contact with his body, it burned with ghostly energy.
Even when he mobilized ghostly energy to resist, it had little effect.
A mocking smile appeared on Hong Yuan's lips.
Ghost Sword penetrated several more inches deeper into Liu Chen's right chest.
"Do you really think your golden light of merit can stop my ghost sword?"
Liu Chen raised her hand and smashed it towards his face.
Hong Yuan smiled sweetly and swiftly drew her sword, retreating.
"Oh, fellow Daoist, you really don't know how to cherish a beautiful woman!"
Streams of dark spiritual energy coursed through his chest, rapidly penetrating his limbs and bones, devouring her spiritual energy.
