78 Martial Emperor, Illusion!
The Ghost King was taken aback, then suddenly realized, "You knew all along!"
'Get these skeletons moving!'
"Hurry up, I'm having a blast chopping!"
With a chuckle, the ethereal moon behind her seemed to smile, her eyebrows curving into a smile.
The Ghost King was furious. "You're courting death! Heh heh, don't try to hold on any longer. You've exhausted yourself for so long. With Yin energy entering your body, even your Qi and Blood Furnace must be dimmed by now! Where's your cultivation technique? Where's your Thunderfire? Why aren't you using it?!"
Whether it was a test or a mockery, the Ghost King calmed down. However, the hideous tumor that occasionally reappeared seemed less calm than he had claimed.
He kept an eye on the Ghost King while simultaneously monitoring his kill count. It had been accumulating incredibly fast; he hadn't even had time to check it himself.
Moreover, the skeleton is controlled by the Ghost King's Yin energy, so it must have expended a lot of energy by now.
'However, this place is yin, so we can replenish our yin energy at any time. We need to hurry!'
The kill points had just been used to kill over a thousand skeletons and wraiths. Now, looking at the full 250,000 kill points, I'm thrilled! No more hesitation, time waits for no one!
The Thunderfire Heart Technique has been upgraded, costing points to reach level 2000. Instantly, the Thunderfire Heart Technique has reached a new level.
He Chen completely suppressed his aura. Yet, deep within his body, a surge of heat coursed through him. His bones, muscles, blood vessels, consciousness, and internal organs all began to granulate on a massive scale. A flower is a world, a tree is a Bodhi tree. At this moment, every cell and bone in his body seemed to come alive.
His cultivation level also rose to the eighth rank. Eighth-rank Martial Emperor.
Looking at the remaining 230,000 kill points, he didn't hesitate for a moment. "Upgrade! I'll upgrade to level 4300 first!" But, after upgrading, something went wrong.
Inner Strength Technique: Thunderfire Inner Strength Technique, Level 2230
Realm: Rank 8
'I kao,'
Suddenly, a curse was uttered, startling the Ghost King! This was inhuman! Demanding 1000 kill points per level! Over 2200 fire points burned through the metal, quickly melting copper and iron, and vaporizing silver!
Throughout his body, the energy stored in his cells was drastically reduced. He couldn't speak. He took out a box of ginseng from his ring and poured it directly into his mouth, eating it in large gulps.
Seeing that Piaomiaoyue was gulping down spiritual materials, she quickly took out a bottle of Qi-replenishing pills from her bosom, opened it, and fed it to Piaomiaoyue. At this moment, Piaomiaoyue's body was severely depleted, so she readily accepted the pills, swallowing them whole.
Suddenly, a chilling wind arose, and a figure ten feet tall, with bull horns on its head, a bull's nose on its face, and wielding a crescent-shaped shovel, appeared. A string of human skulls hung from its waist. It stood far to the right, forming a ninety-degree triangle with the other two figures.
'Heh heh, Old Ghost Wei, looks like you've discovered some incredible merit. Instead of reporting it, you secretly summoned me. Heh heh, are you trying to give me credit?' Ghost King Wei felt slightly relieved when he saw the reinforcements he had summoned arrive.
I just saw how powerful He Chen's external martial arts were, and how unpredictable and fast his swordsmanship was—almost a hundred slashes per second. I didn't even see how he made his moves.
He secretly called for reinforcements. Of course, ghosts can devour each other to grow stronger, and thus develop friendships. That's a joke; only a fool would believe that.
"We'll talk about this later. This man's methods are unpredictable and specifically counter us. Why don't you join forces and kill him first? Then you can share this place, how about it!"
'You have quite the scheme, King Wu! So young, and the food smells wonderful. His body is mine, and that girl too—truly excellent! I want her too!'
He gazed at the Martial King's physical body and the beautiful Piaomiaoyue, wanting both. His face was filled with genuine greed, yet his eyes secretly sized her up.
'Old ghost, don't be so greedy. At worst, I'll make them leave! The girl is yours, the rest is mine.'
Wei Guiwang didn't want to give up everything, and he knew in his heart that if he did, the old ghost he summoned would probably turn around and leave. 'Fine, but I want half of this place!'
Having heard that the two Ghost Kings had already made their arrangements, he swallowed the last ginseng root. He understood that the source of this killing point was spiritual energy, yin energy, or something else entirely. But it didn't appear out of thin air. That was good; knowing the source, he thought to himself, 'Now I can rest assured.'
Silently sensing the changes in the Martial Emperor, he whispered, 'Hold on tight.'
'Mmm, Shen Lang!' she responded softly, wrapping her arms around his waist from behind and compressing her body as much as possible so as not to hinder her lover's battle.
A simple sentence, yet it made my whole body go weak. "Haha, don't worry, Moon, just watch how your lover slays these two ghost kings."
Both ghost kings remained silent upon hearing the words, especially the bull-horned ghost king, who held a large axe and stared at the blue light emanating from Wei ghost king's steel fork.
He thought to himself, 'Old Wei's steel fork is adorned with star-patterned iron, making it sturdy and extremely sharp. It's even coated with Yellow Spring Essence. Yellow Spring Essence—the name sounds nice, but it's the most potent poison from the Yellow Springs, difficult to extract. I've heard Old Wei has some, but I never expected him to use it here. Looks like I need to be careful this time; if things go wrong, I'll have to retreat immediately.'
Then, he glanced at Wei Guiwang. The meaning was clear: you call for help, you get the lion's share, you go first!
"Attack together!" Wei Guiwang roared. He flew through the air, using his ghostly steps to split into three, instantly creating three ghostly figures that attacked from three directions.
The ghostly figure appeared instantly, thrusting its steel fork with all its might, aiming to pierce the skin and allow the essence of the underworld to enter the body—that would be victory!
On the other side, the Minotaur Demon King was not slow at all. Whether it was due to his large size and thick skin, or something else entirely, it was unclear!
It charged straight at him from the side. Its footsteps trembled the ground, creating a sense of unease and disorientation. But from behind, a strange bull-like figure, wielding a short blade, swiftly and lightly lunged towards He Chen's neck. The girl on his back, however, hadn't brought herself to kill him!
Suddenly, the scenery before them changed completely. The gray and gloomy scene vanished! They arrived at a place where flames burned on the ground, with no wood in sight, as if they had emerged from the depths of the earth. Thunder rumbled in the sky, and lightning crackled as it struck the ground, sending shards of stone flying everywhere.
"Ah!" Caught off guard, the two ghost kings were instantly stunned.
"Thunder and Fire Illusion," he thought in horror. The illusion, which resembled being trapped in a maze, was merely a trick to deceive the eye. This illusion was actually a trace of the laws of heaven and earth.
"Emperor Wu, Old Ghost Wei, are you trying to harm me?" The Ox-Horned Ghost King, now merged with the Demon King Wei, grew even taller. He questioned the Demon King Wei.
"Old Ghost, I misjudged you. Let's stop holding back and join forces to get out of here first."
'Alright, I'll trust you one more time!' Then, the Bull-Horned Demon King's body rapidly expanded to three zhang tall.
Wei Guiwang reverted to his original form, covered in fleshy growths, and stood a towering 32 feet tall. He held nothing back. He unleashed a devastating blow upon the illusion!
Behind the ethereal moon, her lover stood suspended in mid-air, his precious sword flashing, instantly dispelling the gray world before him. He exuded an air of effortless power, as if he had swept away all worldly troubles with a flick of his sleeve.
Then, fire broke out on the ground and thunder roared in the sky, as if it were the end of the world.
