But whether it was the water sword or the red light, they both passed right through the black mist without affecting it in the slightest. The figure of the Black Armor Ghost General quickly coalesced again, and with a flash of shadow, pounced towards Lang Sheng.
Lang Sheng swung his hammer fearlessly to meet the charge.
Suddenly, an orange and a black figure tangled together. The shadows of their weapons whirled through the air, sword glows flickered, black mist hovered and blood splattered everywhere.
The body of the Black Armor Ghost General was shattered time and again, but each time it would reform without showing signs of injury.
Lang Sheng may have seemed to have the upper hand, breaking the ghost general’s body continually, but his own wounds were multiplying and his movements were gradually slowing down.
Updated by ℕovG○.co“We can’t go on like this!”
Shen Luo was alarmed. His water-control technique and the dark red short cone were of no help and for a moment he had no other means. All he could do was to suppress his anxiety and engage the Black Armor Ghost General.
On the other side, Bai Xiaotian was also at a disadvantage. His once-bright golden light had dimmed considerably and several wounds had appeared on his body.
Although he had temporarily advanced his strength to the Grain Avoidance Stage using the God-descent Technique, it wasn’t his own power and wasn’t easy to control. If he was facing a physical opponent, it might have been okay. But Gu Hualing’s techniques were extremely elusive, Bai Xiaotian couldn’t even touch a piece of her clothing. Instead, he was forced to retreat by her seemingly casual but extremely sharp attacks.
The most critical problem was that the God-descent Technique put a significant strain on the physical body and spiritual soul, and also had a time limit.Bai Xiaotian’s heart sunk. He uttered a loud shout and the crimson giant mace in his hand swept out, red flames swept towards Gu Hualing in a raging tide.
But Gu Hualing sidestepped left and right, then dashed forward, easily dodging this attack, and swiftly closing in on Bai Xiaotian. The three-pointed claw thorn in her hand struck towards his chest.
Bai Xiaotian made a hasty retreat again, using his long ge to block the three-pointed claw thorn.
But Gu Hualing shadowed him closely, taking advantage of Bai Xiaotian’s distraction as he blocked the claw thorn to strike again.
Updated by NovG○.coHer fingers flicked, and a gust of wind erupted, striking Bai Xiaotian in the lower abdomen.
A thin thread of black light shot out from her fingertip, piercing through the golden light on Bai Xiaotian’s body, breaking through and disappearing into his Dantian.
Bai Xiaotian’s body shook. His face turned deathly pale in an instant, and cold sweat poured from his forehead. He toppled to the ground, and the golden light on his body flickered more intensely, weakening quickly.
“I didn’t want to be ruthless, considering your Bai Family background, but I apologize!” Gu Hualing said. Still, she didn’t hesitate in continuing her attack, preparing to strike again.
“Who dares to harm my Bai Family, stop immediately!” Just at this moment, a voice like thunder echoed from afar.
The voice was so loud that everyone at the scene felt a buzzing in their ears.
Even before this thunderous voice had ceased, a ball of green light rushed over like lightning, apparently another escape talisman.
Before the green light arrived, a yellow light shot forward. Inside seemed to be a round object spinning rapidly, emitting a sharp whining sound and attacking Gu Hualing directly.
Gu Hualing let out a soft shout, leaving Bai Xiaotian and shooting out the three-pointed claw thorn which once again turned into a purple crystal iron hand, reaching out to the yellow light.
The object in the yellow light suddenly grew bigger and revealed itself to be an earth-yellow copper coin. It expanded to the size of a house in the blink of an eye, crashing heavily on the purple crystal iron hand.
With a loud “clang”!
The purple crystal iron hand was knocked away like a leaf, returning back to its three-pointed claw form.
When Gu Hualing grabbed the claw with one hand, she felt a tremendous force rebounding back as if a mountain was oppressing her from above. She staggered back three steps before barely steadying herself, and the mana in her body churned uproariously.
Not only that, a faint yellow light began to beam on the surface of the claw, making it far more burdensome and somewhat uncontrollable.
“It’s the Treasure Copper Coin! Ghost Third General, that is Bai Jiangfeng, withdraw now!” Gu Hualing’s elegant eyebrows furrowed. She mobilized all her mana and managed to put away the three-pointed claw with great effort.
Then her figure soared up into the sky. The purple light behind her bone wings thrived as if incinerating. She transformed into a long purple rainbow and streaked away towards the distance, disappearing on the horizon within the blink of an eye.
The black-clad Ghost General, who was engaged in a bout with the copper hammer, paid heed to Gu Hualing’s words. With a cold snort indicating his dissatisfaction, he nonetheless retreated and transformed into a black light, chasing after Gu Hualing.
The green light in the sky did not chase after Gu Hualing and the others, but dropped beside Bai Xiaotian. After a few flickers, it disappeared, revealing a gray-robed old man.
This man appeared to be in his fifties or sixties, short and thin, with a wrinkled face and somewhat gray hair. However, his eyes were sharp and he exuded an intimidating aura.
The old man immediately bent over to check Bai Xiaotian’s condition, ignoring Shen Luo in the lake.
Being at ease, Shen Luo quickly went to check on Lang Sheng’s wounds.
Lang Sheng was currently covered from head to toe in dozens of wounds of varying sizes. Blue blood stained his entire body. He appeared to be seriously injured, his chest heaving as he leaned on his double hammers.
Shen Luo hurriedly placed his hand on Lang Sheng’s back, injecting his mana into him.
Lang Sheng’s withering spirit slightly rebounded as he circulated the demon qi within his body. A layer of blue light surfaced on his body, and though his wounds did not heal, the bleeding stopped.
“Lang Sheng, you’ve worked hard today. Go back and have a good rest,” Shen Luo let go of his hand, opened the summoning water hole and sent Lang Sheng back.
After doing all this, Shen Luo went towards the shore.
The golden light around Bai Xiaotian had already faded, and he was lying on the ground pale as paper. His teeth were clenched and the veins on his forehead throbbed. He seemed to be enduring severe pain.
His body still faintly radiated a weird golden light, and the fluctuation of the mana it emitted was both high and low, extremely chaotic.
“The God-descent Technique puts great strain on the body, which is why our clan has stipulated that it should only be cast when one has reached the Grain Avoidance Stage. You actually cast this technique while still at the Qi Refining Stage, this is absurd!” The gray-robed old man pressed his palm on Bai Xiaotian’s lower abdomen, emitting a yellow glow and chided.
A moment later, a faint “sizzle” sound echoed.
The old man lifted his palm, and a black needle the size of a hair strand surprisingly stuck to it.
“Thank you, Grandpa San.” Bai Xiaotian’s facial expression of pain visibly lessened and he whispered his gratitude.
“This is the Profound Yin Needle, a unique Yin weapon of the secret weapon faction Linglong Sect. It specializes in breaking protective spiritual light and is extremely vicious. Is that woman just now from the Linglong Sect? But she doesn’t seem to be from the Human Race,” The gray-robed old man took out a small jade box and carefully placed the black needle inside, then handed a snow-white pill to Bai Xiaotian to swallow.
“Grandpa San is observant, that person is a demon, but not from the Linglong Sect. The matter is quite complicated and hard to explain in a few words…” Bai Xiaotian felt better, he sat up and spoke.
“Since it’s complicated, we’ll discuss it later. I’ll help you suppress the aftermath of the God-descent Technique first,” The grey-robed old man interrupted Bai Xiaotian, pressing his palm to Bai Xiaotian’s back. A golden light flashed on his hand.
Bai Xiaotian quickly closed his eyes, circulated his skills, and his chaotic aura gradually calmed down.
