As he gazed at the several hearts rapidly flying towards him, the evil ghost's face revealed an excited expression, repeatedly shouting the word "heart" from his mouth.
With a massive hand gesture, he grasped the several hearts in one swoop, without a hint of hesitation, and simultaneously stuffed them into his mouth.
After swallowing the hearts, the evil ghost's face showed a look of enjoynt, and his originally illusory body began to solidify. The power fluctuations emanating from his body also rapidly intensified.
Xu ijing, who had been punched away by the evil ghost, happened to witness the great spirit master taking out several hearts and throwing them towards the evil ghost.
She forcibly stabilized her body in mid-air, then attempted to stop the evil ghost from grabbing the hearts, but ultimately failed. The evil ghost's massive hand swooped in, grasping the hearts in an instant.
Just at this mont, a large number of flying heads launched another attack on her. Although these flying heads' long tongues couldn't harm her, and couldn't even break through her earth soul armor, they were like annoying flies buzzing around her, making her extrely frustrated.
Earlier, she had been punched by the evil ghost because of these annoying flying heads. If it weren't for these pesky flying heads, she wouldn't have been hit, and could have even sliced the evil ghost's entire arm off with one stroke!
Glancing at the slightly dented earth soul armor on her chest, Xu ijing's anger surged. To avoid a similar situation from happening again, she decided to deal with these annoying flies first, and then take down the great spirit master's Guardian Spirit.
Although the Guardian Spirit's strength wasn't impressive in her eyes, its constant harassnt would still have so negative impact on her.
Taking down the Guardian Spirit would be equivalent to cutting off the great spirit master's claws, which, even if not sharp, would still be beneficial to her.
With her mind made up, she temporarily ignored the evil ghost who had swallowed the hearts and turned to charge directly towards the great spirit master's Guardian Spirit.
The Guardian Spirit didn't expect Xu ijing to abandon her attack on the evil ghost and instead charge towards her. In a state of panic, she hastily controlled the flying heads to launch an attack on Xu ijing.
She was well aware that the Spirit Summoning Demonic Tree wouldn't have a significant impact on Xu ijing, and couldn't possibly block her approach. So, while controlling the Spirit Summoning Demonic Tree to attack Xu ijing, she transford her soul body into a cloud of Yin Qi and escaped in another direction.
Xu ijing's strength was too overwhelming, and she knew she wasn't a match for her. She wouldn't dare confront Xu ijing head-on, so when she saw Xu ijing charging towards her, she naturally had to flee imdiately.
What shocked her was that Xu ijing suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking her escape route, just as her soul body's Yin Qi had barely escaped.
It wasn't that the Spirit Summoning Demonic Tree hadn't tried to block Xu ijing; on the contrary, under her control, the flying heads that had detached from the Spirit Summoning Demonic Tree all launched an attack on Xu ijing without exception.
However, the flying heads' tongues hadn't even touched Xu ijing's body before being swept away by her powerful knife energy. The force of the knife energy didn't diminish, and it also resolved the flying heads behind her.
All of this happened in an instant, rely a single stroke of Xu ijing's knife. After resolving the flying heads, Xu ijing didn't destroy the Spirit Summoning Demonic Tree, but instead flashed towards the Guardian Spirit, blocking her escape route.
As long as she took down the Guardian Spirit, the Spirit Summoning Demonic Tree she had condensed would collapse on its own. Xu ijing was clear about this principle, so why would she bother to destroy the Spirit Summoning Demonic Tree first and then attack the Guardian Spirit?
Xu ijing's sudden appearance before her eyes left the Guardian Spirit's heart racing, and her soul body's Yin Qi involuntarily trembled slightly, a reaction to the shock.
In this situation, she could use her toes to think that Xu ijing would imdiately attack her, and wouldn't ask her if she had eaten with a kind face. In a state of panic, she didn't care about anything else and hastily deployed an Illusion Technique against Xu ijing.
She didn't dare hope to trap Xu ijing in her Illusion Technique; her requirent was simple – she just needed to have so impact on Xu ijing, even if it was only for a second, which would be a good thing for her.
One second may be a short ti, but it's at least enough for her to escape a short distance, and who knows, maybe she can even wait for her master's rescue within that one second.
However, what happened next was sothing she never could have dread of.
The Illusion Technique was successfully deployed, and it even took effect on Xu ijing's body. However, Xu ijing didn't receive any influence from it, but instead, ghost suffered a strong backlash, and her soul body instantly exploded.
This scene left everyone speechless, not just the Guardian Spirit, but also Xu ijing herself.
Xu ijing had originally prepared to disperse the Guardian Spirit's soul body with one slash, and then forcefully absorb the dispersed soul body into the soul gathering bead. But before she could even move, the Guardian Spirit's soul body had already self-destructed.
This situation occurred because Xu ijing had been keeping her ghost eye open, which was ant to prevent the Guardian Spirit from using the Illusion Technique on her at a critical mont and affecting her performance.
To eliminate this possibility, she had even injected a considerable amount of Yin spirit power into her ghost eye, making it even safer.
However, the Guardian Spirit's power was far inferior to hers, and with its soul body severely damaged, it was not at its peak. It had to use all its strength to deploy the Illusion Technique on Xu ijing, which led to her soul body being unable to withstand the backlash and exploding.
In fact, the Guardian Spirit was also aware that its Illusion Technique might not have any effect on Xu ijing, and it might even suffer a backlash, just like when it had previously used its object control ability on Xu ijing and suffered a backlash that almost collapsed its soul body.
But in the urgent situation, the Guardian Spirit's brain short-circuited, and it didn't think of this problem. Therefore, it not only used the Illusion Technique on Xu ijing but also used it with all its might, resulting in such a severe backlash.
Of course, even if the Guardian Spirit had not overlooked this problem, it would still have chosen to do so, because in that situation, it had no other choice but to take a gamble.
Xu ijing only thought for a mont before understanding why the Guardian Spirit's soul body had suddenly self-destructed. Although she was surprised by the strength of the backlash, her actions didn't slow down. After seeing the Guardian Spirit's soul body explode, she only hesitated for a mont before quickly taking out a soul gathering bead from her independent space, wanting to forcefully absorb the dispersed Guardian Spirit into the bead.
However, just at this mont, a powerful energy fluctuation ca from behind her, rapidly attacking her body!
In this situation, Xu ijing had to temporarily give up on absorbing the Guardian Spirit into the soul gathering bead. If she insisted on doing so, the result would be that her body would not only be hit by the attack, but the Guardian Spirit would also not be successfully absorbed.
Because the Guardian Spirit's soul body had already dispersed after the explosion, it would take relatively more ti to absorb it into the soul gathering bead compared to when it was not dispersed.
And this slight delay would be the key to her failure.
Since she couldn't succeed in absorbing the Guardian Spirit no matter what she chose, she naturally chose to give up on absorbing it imdiately, at least to avoid taking an extra hit.
As for the Guardian Spirit, its soul body had already dispersed and would need so ti to recondense. During this ti, the Guardian Spirit would be unable to harass her again.
Moreover, when the Guardian Spirit recondensed, its power would only be weaker than before, not stronger. Even if it harassed her again, the trouble it would cause would be much smaller.
She had already decided to take down this Guardian Spirit, and she wouldn't go back on her word. However, it wasn't the right ti yet. For now, she had to deal with the trouble behind her.
She turned around abruptly, and a massive fist was already in front of her.
The owner of this fist was naturally the evil ghost, which had swallowed several hearts and was now like a chicken injected with adrenaline, not only recovering so of its power but also becoming more excited.
The fist hadn't even landed on her body, but the powerful energy had already dispersed the Yin Qi emanating from her body.
She didn't hesitate, tightly gripping the Death Slayer and directly using a simple and brutal thod to slash at the fist
