76. Clash of the Two Kings
In the dim night, it shone like a beacon, dazzling and radiant. Like a luminous pearl in the darkness. Thunder dragon was enveloped in lightning, and wherever it went, thunder roared and crackled across the ground.
A fiery dragon surged and roared, flames swirling around it, igniting everything in its path. The white flames were a sight to behold, chilling to the bone!
"Thank you, Master." A light, melodious voice rang out, causing He Chen to burst into laughter.
Then, with 30,000 points of Thunderfire Heart Technique, the Thunderfire Heart Technique was upgraded to level 1800, making the flames even hotter and the lightning even more dazzling.
The ethereal moon beside them felt the surrounding temperature rise sharply, accompanied by the force of thunder. The oppressive and uncomfortable atmosphere recoiled, and anything that couldn't react in time was burned away by the lightning and fire.
Even the ethereal moon was astonished.
Looking at myself, my weapon is a gentleman's knife, which is sturdy and sharp to level 1000.
Inner Strength Technique: Thunderfire Inner Strength Technique, Level 1800
The sword spirit seems to have become much more intelligent at this moment, but it hasn't taken human form yet. It seems that for a divine being to take human form, both the right time and the right place are indispensable!
She stood up and looked at the beautiful, intelligent person staring at her. She thanked him, saying, "Thank you very much, Yue'er. Please turn around and leave!"
"Moon!" Piaomiao exclaimed, just about to argue, "Isn't this too familiar?"
Then, He Chen's body spontaneously combusted without any fire, and his clothes began to burn. Almost completely burned away, revealing his muscular chest.
"Ah!" She quickly turned around, having never seen such a scene before!
Enraged, he gripped his twin swords tightly. Gritting his teeth, he thought, "What an unreasonable person!"
Ignoring the other person's reaction, I changed into a clean new outfit, prepared by Jie Huayu and Wei Lan. It fit perfectly. Then I put on the boots Wei Lan had made. They fit just right too!
He reattached the police badge to his waist. He took out a box of ginseng and other spiritual herbs from his spatial ring and ate them all in one go.
Piaomiaoyue turned around and saw this scene. She thought to herself, 'Only someone with exceptional physical strength would dare to eat like this, without fear of being overwhelmed by the sudden surge of spiritual energy. Spiritual energy isn't so gentle; refining it and making it one's own isn't an easy process.'
Watching He Chen finish eating, he suggested, "The bloody smell here will likely attract powerful ghosts from the underworld, perhaps even a ghost king. Outside, our strength isn't suppressed, but if we go in now, it's alright if it's just a powerful ghost, but if it's a ghost king, we might be in danger."
He continued, "I happened to pass by this place this time and noticed something amiss; it has developed into a yin place. To destroy it, the ghosts within must be exorcised. A large array of yin energy needs to be dispersed, then exposed to direct sunlight or burned with oil to remove them. This time, I didn't prepare enough items to counteract the yin energy."
After speaking, he waited for He Chen's reply, thinking it best to leave first. If he hadn't killed so many people and created such a thick aura of blood, he probably could have investigated by now.
"Moon is right, let's go now." Before they could make a decision, suddenly, a cold wind arose.
The sinister formation suddenly expanded, enveloping the surroundings. The bright moon in the sky seemed to be obscured by dark clouds, and the surroundings turned gray. Apart from gray, there was no other color; the whole world was gray, devoid of any other hue.
Piaomiaoyue exclaimed in a low voice, "Oh no! The Ghost King is coming! Run!"
After speaking, a flash of white light appeared on the bracelet in her hand, enveloping it in a thin layer of white light. Then she grabbed He Chen and pulled him inside, the two of them pressed tightly together. They prepared to head towards the outer perimeter.
I inhale a faint, sweet fragrance. A beautiful woman is beside me; she has a kind heart.
"Don't move, we're here." He Chen grabbed Piao Miaoyue's hand, channeling his Thunderfire Heart Technique throughout his body.
Before my eyes, a handsome scholar appeared, dressed in a scholar's robe and turban. The large axe in his hand somewhat marred his image.
But the aura of thunder and fire that entered their eyes was terrifying. Its mouth was bigger than a washbasin, its face was covered with fleshy tumors, and behind it were many different appearances: young, old, female, and a scholar, just like the one that was now appearing in front of the two of them.
"Since you two are here, why not stay? I am Wei Long, or you may call me Ghost King!" Ghost King stood in mid-air, a foot above the ground, speaking as blood automatically flowed from beneath his feet into his body. Soon, everyone on the ground became dried up, reduced to skin and bones—a truly horrifying sight!
At this moment, Piaomiaoyue took out a talisman and affixed it to He Chen's body. "Be careful, this is a barrier-breaking talisman. The Ghost King possesses seductive magic and illusion techniques. The person before you may not be his true form. Do not be deceived by him." She was worried that someone skilled in physical combat might have weak spiritual protection, so she used it on him.
"Thanks, but when it comes to fighting, it has to be the men!" With a slight turn of his hand, he stepped forward, shielding Piaomiaoyue behind him!
Seeing that the two were not fooled, the Ghost King was not angry. He casually flicked his wrist, sending a ghostly fire flying towards him at a slow speed, a mocking expression on his face. The Martial King and the Ghost King were equals. The ghostly energy transformed into fire, the flames tinged with yellow and red.
He chuckled softly. A flash of light appeared in his hand as his gentleman's blade shot forward! The speed was calculated perfectly, and they collided mid-flight!
Peng's body was directly hit by the ghost fire. Although he was in the dark place, He Chen did not feel the slightest oppression.
'King Wu.'
'King Wu!'
A gasp came from behind. The breath was on my neck; I wasn't distracted in the slightest.
A low murmur rang out, startling the Ghost King, who thought to himself, 'I misjudged you!' Then he was overjoyed.
He was polite and refined, much like a scholar. He said, "If we were outside, leaving would be the best course of action. But this place connects to the underworld... hehe, King Wu, what an excellent general! Devouring you might allow me to rise even higher!"
Then, a low, strange sound came from the Ghost King's mouth.
Instantly, the surrounding ghosts rapidly gathered. In the distance, hurried footsteps echoed. On the ground lay the headless leader, who had just died. Third Sister, Eldest Brother, and the others had all risen, seemingly alive.
"Oh no, the Ghost King's horde of ghosts has arrived." Upon seeing this, Piao Miao Yue's heart tightened. Just now, with the Martial King by her side, she felt an unprecedented sense of security. This was something she had never experienced before. She herself was also at the peak of the sixth rank, and she thought she would handle matters without fear. But facing the Ghost King, she had just realized her life was in danger.
The battlefield changed too quickly. Hanging ghosts, water ghosts, and all sorts of other ghostly creatures appeared from the surrounding area, staring eerily at the two living people, like lanterns in the darkness.
Some of them, men and women, young and old, dressed in coarse cloth, some with patches, were skeletons approaching the two. They were probably local villagers.
A sharp sound rang out.
He Chen laughed, "Your voice doesn't sound human at all! Haha!"
Upon hearing this, the Ghost King flew into a rage, 'You're courting death! I will merge you with me and burn your soul every day!'
He secretly resented himself, 'I've tried so hard to act human, how am I not convincing enough?'
