"Bang——"
Qing Daojun’s Peach Wood Sword was blocked halfway by a broken sieve.
Xiao Ning had already rolled her eyes.
Gong Leitian leaped to Xiao Ning’s back, and suddenly pierced his sword towards the ghost servant behind her.
Spiritual Energy usage, power halved.
Gong Leitian’s mood was sinking. The amulet he just gave everyone didn’t work?!
If it weren’t for the Immortal Sword in his hand, this group might really be in danger.
"Minister, I found that my spells suddenly don’t work..." Xiao Ning was a bit panicked, as she had never encountered such a thing before during missions.
Without mana in a mission, wouldn’t that be waiting to die?
Qing Daojun also looked calm and composed, finally freeing himself from the evil ghost, and stood back-to-back with Gong Leitian to protect Xiao Ning in the middle.
He was more experienced and imdiately grasped the key point with one sentence: "Minister, is it possible that there’s sothing wrong with this barrier worm?"
Although he had never heard of this before, the Minister’s surprised tone made it clear that this was no ordinary thing.
"Yes!" Gong Leitian nodded, "I saw it in ancient texts from the Master. Although it’s not as terrifying as the fabled soul-eating worm, it’s still sothing that many cultivators fear. If you inadvertently step into its barrier, unless you break it, you will be sucked dry."
Xiao Ning took a deep breath: "Minister, is it really that scary?! But didn’t you already break it?"
"But before breaking it, so of it probably already got into our bodies."
Thinking about countless little worms crawling inside her body made Xiao Ning shiver: "What do we do now, Minister?"
"Xiao Ning’s Spiritual Power is weak, so it affects her quickly. The rest of us must deal with this person before our Spiritual Energy runs out, otherwise we’re in danger."
"Minister, I’ll take care of Xiao Ning, you can focus on dealing with him." Qing Daojun said.
Xiao Ning felt a bit unconvinced, but when she tried to gather her Spiritual Power again, there was no response, this made her exhale.
Ugh... this damned barrier worm is going to kill her!
"Ah..."
A sudden scream startled all three of them.
It turned out that the man kneeling in the center of the room exploded! Countless fragnts, stained with blood, flew in all directions.
Even though Gong Leitian reacted quickly, a few blood droplets still splattered on their faces.
Xiao Ning’s mood was quite subtle.
Damn it!
She had never been so embarrassed.
Silently clenching her fists, she resolved never to slack off again once she got out, determined to cultivate diligently and crush these evil forces.
"Huhu—— huhu——"
Ghostly winds howled, forming tornadoes of various sizes, with the largest one at the site of the "array eye" explosion, and the others circling around it.
So were even devoured by it.
At the center of the large tornado, there was a faint tall black shadow, with two lantern-like red eyes glowing with a hungry and cold light.
Its figure was still a bit illusory, and only when the tornadoes ceased would the summoning array be complete.
At that mont, only then could it be considered truly summoned.
"That couldn’t be the legendary Ghost King, could it?" Xiao Ning pointed at the shadow, asking softly.
Without a word, Gong Leitian slashed his Immortal Sword towards the shadow: "Light Ultimate Skill: Annihilation!"
With his shout, the Immortal Sword carried a lightning-like beam of light, shooting straight at the shadow.
"Bang——"
Although it didn’t hit the shadow, it split the tornado in half, taking a while before it rejoined.
Seeing it worked, Gong Leitian had no hesitation slashing again: "Light Ultimate Skill: Annihilation!"
"Light Ultimate Skill: Annihilation!"
"Light Ultimate Skill: Annihilation!"
He kept slashing, preventing the tornado from reforming successfully multiple tis, making the evil path in the corner anxious.
"You lunatic, what are you doing?! Do you know what consequences this could cause? You’re angering the Ghost King..."
Angering the Ghost King was a minor issue, but really chopping their freshly summoned Ghost King would be a problem.
The Ghost King was surely formidable. At its peak, even Gong Leitian with the Immortal Sword might not be a match for it. But when freshly summoned, the Ghost King was very weak, with strength possibly less than one-fifth of its peak.
This is why the summoner dared to summon the Ghost King, intending to refine it while it was weak, to use for themselves.
Gong Leitian remained wholly focused, ignoring all else, his sole concern was the Ghost King.
The evil path was indeed sowhat afraid of Gong Leitian’s Immortal Sword, fearing he might actually chop the Ghost King, and urgently commanded surrounding ghost servants to pounce on him.
This left Qing Daojun quite busy, having to protect Xiao Ning who just lost her mana, while also guarding Gong Leitian who seed to throw caution to the wind, focusing solely on slashing the Ghost King.
"Light Ultimate Skill: Fierce Tiger Descending the Mountain!"
Gong Leitian suddenly shouted another ultimate skill, and a Light Tiger erged from the shining Immortal Sword, roaring loudly as it charged towards the tornado.
Gong Leitian was stunned.
Did he just activate the embedded ultimate skill of the "Light Tiger" Immortal Sword?
Indeed. Because his Spirit Root was light, extrely rare, he could only cultivate special Immortal Techniques — "Light Formulas," and was the only one in a hundred years practicing light elent immortal techniques.
His Master cultivated "Thunder Technique", and couldn’t guide him much, only ensuring he built a solid foundation, leaving him to understand things on his own.
A master opens the door; cultivation depends on the individual.
Gong Leitian was not particularly talented in cultivation but was persistent, thus achieving today’s results. "Light Formulas" had 49 layers, yet he only cultivated up to 14 layers, mastering only one basic "Light Ultimate Skill," the "Annihilation" he just used.
This was a powerful, energy-intensive skill, each use nearly depleting a tenth of his Spiritual Power, risking depletion if the fight wasn’t won before his energy ran out.
Hence, Gong Leitian seldom used this move.
However, this "Fierce Tiger Descending the Mountain" was not sothing he had seen in the "Light Formulas." While the "Light Formulas" had purifying power to dispel darkness, it had no summoning of light beasts.
He had just instinctively used this move, hearing a voice faintly telling him: [Quickly say it, Light Ultimate Skill: Fierce Tiger Descending the Mountain!]
As a result, a Light Tiger really jumped out from the "Light Tiger" Immortal Sword?!
Although the fierce tiger wasn’t a Spiritual Beast, it was sothing he summoned, unlike the evil path which summoned the Ghost King from the Peak of Hell, an existing being not ant to co to the Mortal World; he directly condensed a fierce Light Tiger from Spiritual Energy.
How could Gong Leitian not be excited?!
Was the Immortal Sword gifted by his grandmaster so powerful?!
"Light Ultimate Skill: Fierce Tiger Descending the Mountain!"
Gong Leitian quickly summoned two more, realizing after he attempted to summon again, his Spiritual Power was running low. It seed this summoning consud more energy than using "Light Ultimate Skill: Annihilation."
Or perhaps because his use of "Light Ultimate Skill: Annihilation" was just basic, not powerful enough, the Spiritual Power consumption wasn’t significant compared to this?
