At this mont, Yang Haoran's situation was clear to Xu ijing. His chest, which was a ss of blood and flesh, had completely collapsed, and she couldn't sense even a hint of life energy from him.
Although she didn't want to admit it, she had to accept reality - Yang Haoran was indeed on the brink of death.
Her body trembled slightly, but she didn't let out a loud cry. Instead, she kept a calm face and suppressed the intense sadness in her heart.
She didn't even have ti to take a closer look at Yang Haoran before the great spirit master seized the opportunity to launch an attack on him.
Yin Qi surged, and a Yin spirit power-ford barrier suddenly appeared behind Xu ijing, blocking the great spirit master's attack.
A loud crash echoed as the spiritual power collided with the barrier, but the barrier didn't shatter, and the spiritual power didn't dissipate. The two forces were locked in a stalemate.
Xu ijing's face was as cold as frost. She didn't even glance back at the great spirit master behind her, nor did she care about the impact that had just occurred. Her gaze remained fixed on Yang Haoran's lifeless body.
She mobilized a large amount of Yin spirit power within her, raised her hand, and cast a restriction barrier around Yang Haoran's body. The barrier wasn't large, but it was extrely sturdy, protecting Yang Haoran's body from further harm.
Although Yang Haoran was already dead, she couldn't let his body suffer any more injuries.
"You can rest now, I've got everything under control," she said, her voice trembling slightly.
As she spoke, she suddenly felt a pang of guilt in her chest, and her nose began to ache. She had said similar words to Yang Haoran before, but she hadn't kept her promise. Instead, Yang Haoran had ultimately sacrificed his life to buy ti for her.
Now, although she had broken through, Yang Haoran was already dead, and this realization filled her with intense self-bla.
At the sa ti, the great spirit master's Guardian Spirit recondensed its soul body, but it was much more fragile than before. The injury caused by Xu ijing's previous attack was evident.
Although the Guardian Spirit was strong, it was ultimately just a malevolent spirit that hadn't broken through to the Ghost King Realm. Compared to Xu ijing's current strength, it was a level below. Its soul body had been sliced open by Xu ijing's knife, and the violent power released by the Death Slayer had scattered its soul, causing significant damage.
Despite its injuries, the Guardian Spirit didn't show any fear. Instead, it felt a surge of anger, and its half-bloodied face looked even more terrifying.
Seeing that its attack had been blocked by the Yin spirit power-ford barrier, the Guardian Spirit didn't hesitate. It once again exerted its object control power, lifted a massive boulder, and slamd it into the Yin spirit power-ford barrier.
The boulder, wrapped in a large amount of Yin Qi, was like a teorite emitting black smoke, and it crashed into the Yin spirit power-ford barrier in an instant.
Boom!!
The stalemate was broken, and the Yin spirit power-ford barrier shattered. The boulder and the spiritual power released by the great spirit master surged towards Xu ijing from behind.
Xu ijing sensed the danger approaching from behind and swiftly turned around, gripping the Death Slayer tightly. Then, with both hands holding the knife, she slashed downwards!
A black blade aura howled out, shattering the boulder and dispersing the great spirit master's spiritual power.
In Xu ijing's eyes, the boulder controlled by the Guardian Spirit didn't pose much of a threat, and slicing it open wasn't a difficult task. However, she didn't dare underestimate the great spirit master's attack.
"Spirit Summoning Ghost Skull Mountain!"
As Xu ijing parried the opponent's attack with one swift stroke, the great spirit master rapidly ford a seal with his ten fingers, successfully casting a spirit summoning spell.
As the great spirit master's voice rang out, a dark wind suddenly howled above Xu ijing's head, accompanied by a chilling, blood-curdling laughter that sent shivers down the spine. A massive amount of Yin Qi surged forth, and a towering mountain materialized above Xu ijing's head, blocking out the sun.
The mountain was a ghastly white color, devoid of any vegetation or signs of life. The reason for this was that it was ford from countless skulls, with the entire mountain composed of nothing but skulls and ghosts.
These ghosts were not real spirits, but rather the manifestation of the spirit summoning spell's power. They swirled around the mountain, their mouths constantly emitting a bloodthirsty, eerie laughter. The laughter that had just echoed through the heavens was coming from their mouths.
The Ghost Skull Mountain materialized in an instant, then began to press down on Xu ijing below.
Even before it landed, the area of the ground covered by the Ghost Skull Mountain was severely affected, with the earth sinking and all vegetation receiving a devastating blow.
The restriction barrier surrounding Yang Haoran's body was also greatly impacted, its light screen flickering violently as if it might shatter at any mont.
This restriction barrier was sothing Xu ijing had spent a great deal of Yin spirit power to create, and its defensive capabilities were considerable. However, the Ghost Skull Mountain's power was so imnse that the barrier's light screen was already fluctuating wildly, demonstrating the great spirit master's formidable spirit summoning abilities.
If the Ghost Skull Mountain were to successfully land, it was clear that the restriction barrier would shatter, and Yang Haoran's corpse would be pulverized by the mountain.
Xu ijing could have chosen to dodge, but she didn't. She didn't want Yang Haoran's corpse to be destroyed.
With a swift movent, she charged forward, her dual hands grasping her sword as she actively confronted the descending Ghost Skull Mountain.
Her speed was incredible, like a black lightning bolt. In the blink of an eye, she collided with the Ghost Skull Mountain.
Boom!!
The massive sword slash struck the base of the Ghost Skull Mountain, but the Death Slayer's blade was unable to cleave the mountain in two. Instead, it only managed to cut open a small gap before becoming stuck, unable to inflict further damage.
Xu ijing's hands trembled slightly, her attack having slowed the Ghost Skull Mountain's descent, but only relatively speaking. The mountain's montum and speed remained formidable.
If this continued, the Ghost Skull Mountain would crush her beneath its weight, injuring her and pulverizing Yang Haoran's corpse.
The great spirit master's spirit summoning was incredibly powerful, and Xu ijing knew she couldn't block it without resorting to more drastic asures.
With a cold expression, her eyebrows furrowed in concentration, she gripped her sword hilt tightly, trying to slow the Ghost Skull Mountain's descent as much as possible. At the sa ti, she let out a low, fierce cry!
"Earth Soul, open!"
Although Xu ijing had successfully broken through to the Earth Soul realm, she hadn't had the chance to open it due to the urgent situation. She was worried about Yang Haoran's safety, and now she was facing off against the great spirit master in a true sense. She knew she couldn't defeat the opponent without opening her Earth Soul, and the pressure from the Ghost Skull Mountain was too great, so she didn't hesitate and imdiately opened it.
As the Earth Soul opened, the power fluctuations erupting from Xu ijing's body were like a raging fire eting gasoline, rapidly increasing in intensity. The power fluctuations from her tightly gripped Death Slayer also surged violently!
Boom!!
A massive explosion rocked the Ghost Skull Mountain, causing the ghosts swirling around it to let out a terrified scream before being dispersed by the powerful Yin spirit power.
At the sa ti, the Ghost Skull Mountain was cleaved open by Xu ijing's sword, shattering into pieces.
Xu ijing floated in mid-air, her dual hands grasping her sword. Now, she had transford into a single-handed swordsman, with a mask appearing in her other hand.
The mask was a deep, dark black color, constantly radiating a cold, tallic glow. It had intricate, mysterious patterns etched onto its surface, giving off an otherworldly aura.
The entire mask, except for two holes for the eyes, had no other openings or seams.
Visible black Yin Qi continuously surged forth from the mask in her hand, emitting powerful fluctuations.
This dark black mask was the second soul weapon Xu ijing had obtained after opening her Earth Soul.
