Chapter 130 Madness and Chaos
The blade of the Canglan dagger was aimed at the Ghost Lord of Zhongdu's brow. When it was less than a centimeter away, the Ghost Lord suddenly floated backward.
Wei Yanqing seemed to suffer a backlash, a metallic taste rising in his throat, and he opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood.
They had planned to coordinate an attack to catch them off guard, but the Ghost Lord of Zhongdu was far stronger than them.
"I need to slow down and find another opportunity," Wei Yanqing transmitted to her telepathically.
"It's alright!" Rong Yi shouted as he spun around and increased the force of his dagger thrust.
The blade flashed and pierced through the air; the Ghost Lord of Zhongdu had already retreated a short distance. "I know you, the strange man who made a name for himself in Fengzhou City."
"You flatter me," Rong Yi said, raising an eyebrow.
“You’re not bad.” It closed its eyes and its chest heaved a few times. “Just standing here, I can smell the ‘fragrance’ on you, which is hotter than any energy.”
Rong Yi's lips curled up, and he snorted, "You're not bad either. I find both the token and the ghost crystal inside very tempting."
Facing the Ghost Lord, whose strength was nearly two realms higher than hers, she felt no fear whatsoever, and was even eager to try, as if she had finally met a worthy opponent.
The Ghost Lord of Zhongdu smiled contemptuously, raised his hand, half-closed his five fingers, and spun his palm upwards.
Rong Yi, puzzled, tilted his head and asked, "That's it?"
A crack appeared in the composed expression of the Ghost Lord of Zhongdu. "I have never seen anyone as strange as you before."
A normal person could resolve this with a simple movement, but the young woman in front of him showed no reaction whatsoever.
Rong Yi stopped talking and attacked with lightning speed. This time, the Ghost Lord of Zhongdu did not dodge. She grabbed the Ghost Lord's neck and delivered a knee strike. The Ghost Lord subconsciously reached out to cover her face, but she underestimated Rong Yi's speed. The knee struck her eye socket severely.
The ghost master was shocked and quickly shook his head and ran away.
It figured out Rong Yi's strangeness: its own energy attacks had no effect on her, and she would take on a physical form if it came into close contact with her.
How could Rong Yi let it go? The Ghost Lord of Zhongdu no longer wanted to fight her. Although its strength was lower than hers, its special nature prevented it from using its full power.
However, when trying to leave, he suddenly crashed into an invisible wall, and upon colliding with it, several complex symbols appeared in the air.
"Hiss!" The Ghost Lord of Zhongdu covered his face and retreated. It and Rong Yi were surrounded by a trapping array of talismans, with a ring of talisman paper tightly stuck to the ground.
It looked at Wei Yanqing, only to see that the other party's eyes were sharp. He stood up and said, "If I can't control you, can't I control the talisman?"
While the Ghost Lord of Zhongdu was struck in the eye socket, he controlled the talisman paper to set up a talisman array.
The Ghost Lord of Zhongdu lost his previous leisurely mood. "I thought Your Majesty was a bit too hasty, but now it seems that it is time to kill you all."
It hasn't been long, yet people in the human world already know about talisman arrays.
The sound of shoes scraping against the ground came from behind. The Ghost Lord of Zhongdu turned around and saw Rong Yi with his upper body slightly bent, in an attempt to dive down and slam him. Worried that his lower body would be attacked, it also crouched down to protect itself from the impact.
Suddenly, Rong Yi's fist swung out from behind, slamming heavily into its face like a giant pendulum.
This was the first time the Ghost Lord of Zhongdu had been attacked so fiercely in all his years as a ghost. When his body flew out and crashed to the ground, his mind was still blank.
The moment he landed, Rong Yi punched it repeatedly in the face.
After a few moments, a slender hand grabbed her fist. The Ghost Lord of Zhongdu said with a dark face, "Since you want to fight me in person, I'll oblige!"
Even after it materializes, it remains a high-grade fourth-tier item, and its corresponding power is by no means inferior to Rong Yi's.
The Ghost Lord of Zhongdu doesn't know much about close-quarters combat or kickboxing, but it knows how to throw a punch.
With a counter-attack, Rong Yi blocked with his left forearm, but the Ghost Lord's strength made up for his lack of fighting skills. Rong Yi felt numbness in his forearm muscles and staggered back a few steps.
She was breathing heavily, her forearm trembling as if it had been hit by a mountain.
The Ghost Lord of Zhongdu floated to his feet, his face bearing obvious scars, from which mist intermittently peeked out.
It swooped down, intending to carry Rong Yi into the air and then drop him down, ending everything quickly.
Rong Yi's eyes gleamed. He held his injured arm in front of him, while his uninjured arm was behind his back, and his knees were bent halfway.
The Ghost Lord of Zhongdu reached out to grab her arm that was blocking his way, but then his vision blurred and he was struck hard in the temple.
As it approached, Rong Yi unleashed a powerful counter-punch with her intact hand. The force of her punch, combined with the momentum of the Zhongdu Ghost Lord's dive, caused its temple to slightly dent.
Rong Yi smiled excitedly, the edges of his pupils turning red.
The Ghost Lord of Zhongdu lay on the ground, dazed for a few seconds, his head throbbing with pain.
Soon, sandstorms swirled around it, and its body rapidly expanded, tearing apart its elegant gray-blue brocade robe to reveal a rough, black-clad ghostly form.
The Ghost Lord of Zhongdu was no longer the same as before. Its eyes were like red lanterns, and its huge body looked down at Rong Yi. "If I eat you, I can advance to the next level."
Rong Yi's out-of-control burst of bloodline power deeply aroused the covetousness of the Ghost Lord of Zhongdu, even causing it to forget its mission.
"Your ghost crystal can also have a tiny bit of effect on improving my strength." Rong Yi's voice was icy, and the red at the edge of his pupils intensified.
At this moment, she did not exhibit the inability to distinguish friend from foe; instead, she became even more indifferent.
Both sides acted simultaneously. The Ghost Lord of Zhongdu transformed his superior strength into power, unleashing a flurry of punches, which Rong Yi parried one by one, resulting in a fierce battle.
Wei Yanqing frowned and circled around, killing any ghosts that tried to get close.
Rong Yi had the power to unleash his full potential, but the power he could unleash was limited. After taking a flurry of punches, his breathing clearly fluctuated considerably.
The Ghost Lord of Zhongdu laughed wildly, "Once I devour you, I will have a share of the Ghost General position!"
There are only four ghost generals in the Ghost Realm with the strength of the fifth rank. It is not easy for it to climb to the upper level of the fourth rank. Even if it fails to complete the mission, it must advance to the fifth rank in order to have a chance to continue to survive.
Rong Yi quietly closed his eyes and called out to the word "gray," "Can we have another outburst like last time?"
[Yes, but you must provide all the Ghost Crystals. This can only last for ten seconds.]
"Take it yourself."
Seeing that she had closed her eyes and remained silent, the Ghost Lord of Zhongdu assumed that she was making a final internal struggle and said in an almost seductive tone, "Become a part of my power."
At this moment, Rong Yi's body seemed to be glowing, and familiar red particles surged beneath his skin.
The demon lord of Zhongdu's red eyes widened even more, and a large amount of saliva overflowed from between his fangs.
This pure energy not only attracted the Ghost Lord of Zhongdu, but also affected the other Ghost Lords on the battlefield. They all abandoned their fight and flew towards Rong Yi together.
Rong Yi opened his eyes and looked at the red particles under his arms. Something flashed through his mind in an instant.
The stench of blood, the scorching heat, and the roar of some wild beast filled her mind.
The redness at the edge of his pupil contracted and expanded with each contraction. Rong Yi raised his hand to carefully observe the strength beneath his skin.
Even from a distance, Wei Yanqing sensed something was wrong and tried to communicate telepathically: "Rong Yi?"
The lack of response indicates that the other party is refusing any communication.
Upon seeing the other ghost lords flying over, the Ghost Lord of Zhongdu roared angrily, "She's mine!"
Rong Yi's gaze remained fixed on his hands. "No, you should be my resource." He then looked at the Ghost Lord of Zhongdu.
Beneath the transparent cornea, the pupil color flows like red lava, with the red at the edges already filling the entire pupil.
Rong Yi felt the power surging through his body and tilted his head back in great enjoyment.
"Long time no see, Adventure System No. 005."
I know you'll all appreciate my ability to cut to the chase after reading this far!
