Ye Chen made his move first. He swung his sword and released a thick stream of white light, which struck the ghost guard’s body. However, that stream of sword light only left a bone-deep wound on that man’s body, and failed to go any further. From under the ghost guard’s skin, a layer of blood-red light emerged, that had not only stopped the sword light from further affecting him, but also immediately devoured the sword light.
The attack launched right after Ye Chen’s was Xu Jing’s [Devil-Slaughtering Punch]. Waves of eye-piercing golden light flashed across the air and clashed against that blood-red light, letting out muffled sizzling sounds.
“Purple Qi, Great Monument Suppression!”
That bridge-like, enormous stream of purple Qi rushed back into Luo Hanshan’s body. After that, Luo Hanshan burst out with a loud roar and crossed his fingers, throwing a heavy punch in the air directed towards that ghost guard. At the exact same moment, the bright shining purple monument roared down from the air, it seemed to be capable of shattering the layer of blood-red light and smashing that ghost guard into nothing.
Boom!
But, the purple monument was shattered instead.
The ghost guard’s skin began cracking, and the blood light darted out from those cracks. It was thick and dense like lava streams that gushed out of the ground. Flushed by those streams of blood-red light, the purple monument immediately broke into a few pieces, and then turned into pure Yuan Qi.
Boom!
This thunderous boom didn't come from the broken monument, instead, it came from the mountain itself. Signs of breaking had already shown up after that area had been blasted by those four bombs. And just now, the same area was once again struck by the sword Qi, fist power and the purple monument continuously, so it finally collapsed. Along with the ghost guard, a small part of the mountaintop fell down, and soon disappeared.
In the next moment, sky-shaking, thunderous booms suddenly rang out. Along with them, the entire mountain toppled towards one side. Obviously, the ghost guard detonated himself in the air, collapsing the entire mountain, how powerful was that!
Ye Chen, Xu Jing and Luo Hanshan instantly leapt into the air. Fortunately, all three of them were able to fly for a short while. Looking down from the air, they saw that the mountain had completely collapsed while airwaves rushed around fiercely in a random manner. Countless gigantic rocks completely buried the ghost guard, and piled up into a small hill.
“So close. I didn’t think he could use the Blood Devil Disassemble Magic, created by the Blood Devil himself.” said Luo Hanshan as he let out a long sigh of relief. It was only luck that had helped them survive this.
“The Blood Devil? Was he also one of the Nine Evil Cult’s one hundred and eight great ghost warriors?” asked Ye Chen.
“He indeed was. The Blood Devil was ranked higher than the Ghost Artist among the one hundred and eight. Fifty years ago, he was a core disciple of the Evil Blood Martial School, he then betrayed the Evil Blood Martial School and joined the Nine Evil Cult. He was extremely powerful, and came to be known as the Blood Devil.”
Ye Chen didn’t even want to imagine how powerful the Nine Evil Cult used to be. Each of the one hundred and eight great Ghost warriors were already insanely powerful, and above them, those higher level commanders must have been even more terrifying. But, no one knew how many of them had died and how many had survived. As for those who had managed to survive, no one had any idea whether they were planning to raise again like the Ghost Artist or not.
“Retreat!”
The ghost guard leader saw that the ghost guard had been smashed by the collapsed mountain, he realised that he could not harm this couple of Sky Cloud Martial School’s people in their current situation. Therefore, he threw another punch towards the Head Elder as he gave out the order to retreat.
Woosh! Woosh!
The remaining two ghost guards were both elite warriors. Even though they failed to defeat the Head Elder and the Fourth Elder, they could still run away pretty easily. Within a single moment, they had already moved miles away.
The Fourth Elder intended to chase them, but he was stopped by the Head Elder.
“Don’t go. They can’t do anything to us at this moment, besides, we can’t kill them anyway.”
“Damn! Such a refreshing fight! These two should be top-grade ghost guards of the Ghost Corpse Mountain, am I right?” The Fourth Elder had passionately fought for quite a while, and now his blood was still boiling. It seemed like he could immediately take part in another great fight.
“After eighth August, you can have as many fights as you want. I’m just afraid that you would be sick of battles by then.”
“Never!”
