"This is impossible!!!"
Wang Feng screamed in disbelief as he was blasted away by the golden dragon, flying dozens of meters before crashing to the ground, his chest caving in with a sickening crunch.
At that moment, the only one who seemed relatively unharmed was the Gray Robed Man, who had retreated at the first opportunity. However, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, his face pale and his eyes filled with shock as he muttered to himself.
"Impossible?!"
Ye Kai's gaze was icy cold. With a flick of his robe, a brilliant sword of light shot out, and he coldly declared, "Then take your doubts to your grave!!!"
Clang!!!
Wang Feng's massive Iron-Cutting Blade shattered into two pieces in an instant, and with a loud bang, his body was blown apart by the sword energy that surged through him.
"Wang Shidi!"
The Gray Robed Man, standing not far away, seemed unable to believe his eyes. Although Wang Feng's strength was not on par with his own, his combat ability was certainly formidable; even he would have to use a technique to defeat him.
Moreover, Wang Shidi was a direct descendant of a prominent figure in their sect, which was why he had been given this opportunity to secretly protect him.
Only the most elite disciples of the Demon King Sect could become direct subordinates of certain elders. Whether it was during external training or in encounters with other sect disciples, they believed their strength would allow them to compete.
But now, it was all over.
Reality had slapped him in the face.
Just thinking about how a fragment of his consciousness remained within the sect and recalling what would happen to him once Wang Shidi's soul token shattered made everything around him feel bleak.
The entire situation left him bewildered.
Ye Kai noticed another person lost in battle, and his heart surged with joy. He knew this was a fleeting opportunity that he couldn't let slip away. With a flick of his sword technique, several beams of solid sword light suddenly split off from his blade and he decisively struck out.
The chilling sword light howled as it swept through the air, and the fierce energy had already inflicted numerous fine wounds on the Gray Robed Man before it even reached him.
“Clang, clang, clang…”
The Gray Robed Man snapped back to reality, raising a jade talisman in his hand. Seven or eight beams of sword light struck the azure glow surrounding him, ringing out like bells, and sent him flying backward.
“Hah… Hehe, Wang Shidi is dead, dead… Hehe… Hahaha… I can’t survive either; none of us can survive…”
“Then let’s die together… all of us…”
The Gray Robed Man suddenly lifted his head, his blood-red pupils widening in shock. Two streams of blood-like tears flowed from his eyes as his internal power surged explosively, channeling into the jade talisman. A circle of azure light erupted outward, firmly blocking the incoming sharp sword light.
“Ghost King Banner, arise!!!”
Ye Kai had long been acquainted with the methods of these Demonic Path sects, especially the banners that were notoriously difficult to deal with. They were powerful and corrosive enough to break through protective magic, so he dared not confront them head-on.
With a flick of his left hand to draw the sword technique, he extended his right arm and grasped the returning sword light firmly in his hand. He pushed off the ground and flew backward while simultaneously opening his sleeve wide to release dozens of talismans into the air.
“Hiss… Roar…”
As the talismans soared into the sky, they exploded one after another, transforming into pale figures wielding gleaming long knives or bizarre beasts covered in countless blood-red symbols, charging forward without hesitation.
Ye Kai continuously chanted the Spell Formula, instantly forming a dozen hand seals. A swirl of five colors glowed between his fingers, and he slammed them onto the ground, shouting, "Great Five Elements Return to Ruins Technique! Bound by the earth, turned to steel!"
"Boom!"
A shockwave erupted, and in the blink of an eye, except for the ten-meter diameter area where the Gray Robed Man stood, countless fissures as thick as arms cracked open in the stone walls of the passage and on the ground. With a loud crash, that section of the ground collapsed violently, sinking into the depths below.
The Gray Robed Man spat out seven or eight Blood Arrows towards the Ghost King Banner, then let out a sharp, eerie cackle: "With my body as sacrifice, with my soul as sacrifice, the Ghost King descends!"
Within the ten-meter diameter Scope, the Ghost King Banner exploded with a deafening roar. From the thick gray-black mist emerged a fierce howl as a ghoul formed from black smoke, with two horns and blood-red eyes, opened its massive mouth and devoured the Gray Robed Man whole.
"Roar..."
Inside the ten-meter diameter cage gleaming with metallic luster, violent impacts erupted as debris scattered everywhere. In the next moment, a thick gray-black mushroom-shaped airflow burst forth, creating a fist-sized hole in the cage.
Ye Kai frowned; he had indeed seen this fellow sacrifice himself entirely.
"Boom!"
A tremendous sound reverberated through the passage as it trembled violently. The once-solid ground and stone walls seemed to turn into fragile dust. Debris rained down from above like a storm, as if they were about to collapse entirely at any moment.
Fortunately, the tremors lasted only for a short while before abruptly stopping.
However, Ye Kai understood that the originally solid 'bound by the earth' and 'turned to steel' composite Divine Ability was on the verge of collapsing.
At this moment, the terror of that Ghost King became apparent; in an instant, countless eye holes had appeared on top of the cage, resembling numerous golden needles piercing through. There was an ominous sense of impending disintegration.
However, that was where it ended.
As the top of the cage was completely torn open, Ye Kai stepped forward slowly. With each step he took, a golden Radiance enveloped him, resonating with a clang as he donned magnificent armor and wielded a staff that emanated endless light from its tip.
“Boom!”
At that moment, an indescribable chill surged forth, causing even the ten-meter-high ceiling of the Gundam corridor to burst open with a massive gash.
“Caw caw caw…”
A creature nearly fifteen meters tall, seemingly composed of black smoke, leaped out from the ground, spreading an aura of boundless malice and ferocity.
“Truly an Idiot! Whether it be Taoism or Buddhism, this Sect fears nothing more than ghosts and Zombies!”
A hint of mockery flashed in Ye Kai's eyes. At that moment, he resembled a god walking among mortals, radiant beams of Radiance bursting forth from his body, every strand of hair appearing as if sculpted from crystal.
“Great Radiance Exorcism Spell, suppress!!!”
A sphere of light, one meter in diameter, materialized above his head. The stone walls of the corridor and the surrounding malevolent ghostly aura were all refined and obliterated within this dazzling Radiance. Even the ghost king's form began to rise in thick black smoke at that instant.
The entire scene felt as if the stars had shifted and the universe had turned upside down, instantly transforming the situation.
“Damn it!!! This king will devour you whole and ignite your soul with the fire of the Ninth Underworld, burning you for forty-nine days and nights!!!”
The ghost king let out a shrill scream as its entire body suddenly transformed into a wisp of black smoke, merging into the surrounding darkness, preparing to strike again.
"Noise! You can't do this now!"
Ye Kai slammed his staff down, and a light sphere with a diameter of over ten meters instantly transformed into a beam of white light, shooting forward and crashing into the thick, gray-black Evil Spirit Mist.
In an instant, beams of light pierced through the gray-black mist, followed by a loud explosion as the malevolent energy erupted.
"Ahhh..."
Blood splattered in mid-air as a twisted black ghostly head, filled with endless hatred, gathered the nearly dissipated gray mist, mixed with an overwhelming aura of ferocity that surged back wildly.
"Idiot is just an idiot!"
Ye Kai raised his staff, aiming at the frenzied ghost king, and shouted, "Great Radiance Exorcism Spell, Purifying Light, annihilate!!!"
A beam of light suddenly descended from the sphere, directly enveloping the ghost king. With a muffled sound, the ghost king was instantly reduced to ashes, leaving nothing behind.
First, he severely injured the caster, then weakened the ghost king's malevolent aura to provoke it, ensuring it wouldn't have a chance to escape as soon as it appeared.
Next came a powerful strike that shattered its protective Evil Spirit Mist.
The final move, Purifying Light, was pure light energy that could suppress all things ominous and unclean. Even if it were just a fragment of the ghost king's essence, even the true form of the ghost king would have to kneel before it.
