On the other side, two men in black were communicating with each other through zhen Qi from fifty meters away.
"Gui Liu, what do you think the young master and the ghost head are thinking? Isn't it just a Clasping Yuan Realm brat? Did they really need to call us here?" The muscular man in black was not happy at all. He had finally been able to relax for a couple of days and play with women, but now he had to deal with this. He was not happy at all.
The skinny man in black said, "Gui Jiu, the young master said that if we kill that brat, each of us will get thirty thousand low-rank soul stones. Don't be too greedy."
"If it were not for those thirty thousand low-rank soul stones, I would not even be willing to come. Oh right, why don't the two of us just attack and kill that brat?"
"Do you want to die? If you ruin the young master's plan, he will definitely skin you alive. "
"Hehe, just kidding. Oh right, why is the ghost head not here yet?"
"Shh, he is here. Stop your zhen Qi communication, in case he notices your zhen Qi vibration."
Hearing that, the man in black closed his eyes and infused his True Qi into the air. Together with his mental power, he spread it out. Gradually, he could see everything within a radius of a few hundred meters. A young man in blue was walking towards him at a steady pace. From time to time, he would look around cautiously.
"Huh! Today will be the day you die. "The man in black laughed viciously.
Swoosh!
The man's face froze. The head of the man in black slid down and was caught by a hand, which then gently put it on the ground. Soon, some white powder was sprinkled on the ground, covering the smell of blood.
"I did not expect that I would be so valued. The people watching and ambushing are all old Late Clasping Yuan Realm warriors." Locking his soul power on the skinny man in black fifty meters away, Ye Chen's body flashed and disappeared.
The skinny man in black looked a bit anxious. They had been waiting here for a long time. According to the plan, they would only attack when the ghost head and the young master arrived. However, they were about to leave the ambush, and there was still no sign of the ghost head and the young master. 'Did something happen to them?'
'Whatever, let's wait a bit longer!'
"Eh? Something is wrong! This is not the real body!"
The skinny man in black seemed to have noticed something. His lips moved slightly, trying to send a zhen Qi message to the man in black. Unfortunately, he did not have the chance anymore. An extremely sharp great sword had pierced through his neck, stopping his voice there.
"Very good, let's wait here for our prey to appear!"
Outside, Ye Chen might be afraid of the stiff-faced old man, but inside the forest, the old man was just his prey.
Thousands of meters away.
"Young master, Gui Wu is an expert in stealth. With him following us, we'll be safe. Plus, there's also Gui Liu and Gui Jiu waiting to ambush us. That kid won't be able to escape even if he has wings." The Ghost Head walked silently behind the young man.
The young man said, "After this is done, Gui Wu, Gui Liu, and Gui Jiu will each get thirty thousand low rank soul stones. The rest is yours, and I only want the sword-shaped plant and the Fire Dragon Fruit."
"Many thanks, Young Master." The ghost head looked very happy. At his age, it was almost impossible for him to break through to the Astral Reaching Realm. Therefore, he did not want to let go of any opportunity to increase his battling power. And, those treasures that could increase one's battling power, which one of them did not require a huge amount of spirit stones?
The two of them were extremely fast. It only took them a dozen breaths to cover the distance of several thousand meters.
"Strange, why hasn't Gui Wu appeared yet?" The ghost head looked confused. Before this, they had made a plan. Gui Wu would follow Ye Chen, while the other two would set up an ambush in front of them. Then, once they arrived, they would attack Ye Chen as fast as they could. Right now, they had already reached the deep part of the forest, and Gui Wu should have shown up as well.
The young man said, "The powerful warriors from the Moon Pavilion stopped us in the Gold Tripod City on purpose. They were probably trying to buy time for him. Huh! Let's catch up."
"Yeah!" The ghost head nodded. They could have arrived earlier, but because of that incident, they were delayed for a while. So, he did not suspect anything as he followed behind the young man.
Swoosh!
The sword light flashed once before disappearing.
The young man's running body paused for a second, then slid down due to the inertia. A head flew up into the sky.
Because the sword light was too fast and too sudden, the ghost head did not even have the time to react.
"No!"
The next second, the ghost head's face turned hideous, his eyes filled with blood.
On top of the tree, Ye Chen jumped towards the ghost head. He shook the Star Scar Sword in his hand, and the sword light disappeared. Circles of vague patterns appeared in the air.
Killing Attack – Lone Peak Kill!
Under that extremely fast sword aura, the ghost head did not have the strength to do anything. He could only watch the sword getting bigger and bigger in front of his eyes, stabbing towards his forehead.
Shoo!
Blood spilled everywhere as the ghost head rolled to the side.
Looking at the stiff ears on the ground, Ye Chen sighed secretly. He was indeed a top peak-level Late Clasping Yuan Realm warrior. His mind and reflexes were all top notch, and his battling experience was extremely rich as well. He was able to control his body at that critical moment and avoid that deadly sword attack.
"Die!"
The death of the young man had made the ghost head furious. His body was still rolling, but his right hand had already reached out, grabbing towards Ye Chen from a huge distance.
Crack!
Ye Chen's body was torn apart along with the ground under his feet. The curved qi power did not disappear completely, cutting the big tree behind him into pieces as well.
Within the flying leaves, a human figure suddenly shot out.
"How is this possible?!" The ghost head was shocked. Although that claw attack was a bit rushed, even a peak-level Late Clasping Yuan Realm warrior would not be able to escape unscathed. Plus, he had clearly seen Ye Chen being torn apart by that claw power.
Actually, he could not be blamed for being shocked. When he and the young man arrived at the Gold Tripod City, the beast wave had already ended. So, he had not seen Ye Chen perform his Separating Shadow Art.
"Purple Zombie Demon Art!"
Ye Chen's sword art was way too sharp, and the ghost head was not confident that he could escape unscathed. So, he decided not to back out, and instead, he performed his most powerful defensive martial art. Then, he opened his right hand into a claw, tearing through the air. He wanted to trade wounds with Ye Chen. He was confident that under this attack, Ye Chen would definitely be wounded more severely than him.
Crack!
The sword stabbed right into the ghost head's heart. Ye Chen was alerted, and his body suddenly exploded, turning into dozens of shadows.
However, the ghost head's full power claw attack had only torn apart dozens of shadows.
"Such a powerful zhen Qi layer and physical body!"
Ye Chen frowned. In his sight, the ghost head's skin had an intense purple color, like metal and hardwood. There was a sword hole on his heart, which was less than an inch deep. There was no blood coming out, and it did not look like a human's body, but more like a zombie's body.
Ye Chen was shocked, and the ghost head was even more shocked. Among all the martial arts that he had trained, the most powerful one was the body training martial art, the Purple Zombie Demon Art. It was a mid-rank Earth Realm martial art, and had eleven levels in total. Once he reached the eleventh level, warriors at the same level would basically not be able to break through his defense, and his skin would turn purple. Of course, he had not trained it to the eleventh level yet. He had only reached the peak of the tenth level, and his skin had a hint of purple in it.
The peak of the tenth level of the Purple Zombie Demon Art had been stabbed three inches into his body, and it had almost wounded his heart. How could the ghost head not be shocked? The scariest thing was that Ye Chen had sensed the danger and backed out in advance. In other words, if he had the chance, the sword would have pierced through his heart.
"I cannot give him the chance!"
The ghost head touched the wound with his hand, and the sword hole was slowly healing.
"This old man is not that easy to deal with. Before, he was not fully prepared for the two sword attacks. If I attack recklessly now, I am afraid it will not be that effective."
Seeing that the ghost head was fully prepared and did not show any flaws, Ye Chen flashed his body without hesitation and disappeared into the deep part of the forest.
"He ran away!" The ghost head felt annoyed, as if he had just punched the air.
Glancing at the young man's body that had been separated from his body, the annoyed feeling was getting more and more intense. He could not imagine how furious his master would be when he found out about the death of the young man. He might even kill him with one palm attack. Even if he had trained his Purple Zombie Demon Art to the peak of the eleventh level, he would still be nothing but an ant in front of his master. He would not have any chance to fight back.
"This is not a good place to stay. I should leave as soon as possible!"
The ghost head had a feeling that Ye Chen would not give up on killing him that easily. In the forest, Ye Chen would appear and disappear like a ghost, and it would be impossible to guard against him. The ghost head would not even be able to use eighty percent of his power. Only when he got out of the forest would he have the chance to kill him with one attack.
Shoo!
His feet touched the ground, the ghost head did not have time to bring back the young man's body. He flew towards where he came from.
Boom!
After flying for dozens of meters, the ghost head's body was blown back into the air and landed back where he was standing.
A few leaves fell down. Ye Chen was standing on top of a tree. If he did not look with his eyes, he would not be able to tell that there was anyone there. He would only think that it was just air.
Putting down his right hand, Ye Chen thought to himself, 'The power of the Void Shattering Finger Art is still not that great. But in terms of zhen qi breaking, it is still more powerful than the Lone Peak Kill. The finger power was silent and undetectable.'
Returning to where he was standing, the ghost head's eyes popped out as if he was going to puke out blood.
"This is too much! Little brat, do not ever fall into my hands. Otherwise, I will make you beg for death. I will make you suffer all kinds of pain in the world."
Before his anger disappeared, the ghost head threw out a claw attack onto the huge tree next to him.
Boom!
The huge tree was snapped in half, creating a shocking sound.
…
Time passed slowly, and the sky started to darken.
"I am so pissed off! I would like to see how you are going to kill me!" Before, the ghost head had tried countless times, but each time, he would be beaten back by Ye Chen. He did not even know where his opponent was. If it were not for his strong mind, he would have gone crazy already.
Performing the Hiding Qi Spell, Ye Chen quietly disappeared into the night.
Whoo!
There was no air-tearing sound, only a light pattern in the air.
Without thinking, the ghost head turned around and threw out a claw attack.
Crack! Crack!
All of a sudden, countless trees had been broken down, clearing out a huge space.
In the night, Ye Chen was not in a hurry. He kept creating illusions, using zhen qi shadows to confuse his opponent, creating an opportunity for his real body. He had to admit that the ghost head was the toughest opponent he had ever faced. Not only was his defense extremely high, but his attacks were also extremely powerful. Otherwise, he would not have lasted this long.
A pair of eyes shone with a light purple light as the ghost head's breathing gradually calmed down. His mind was highly focused as he tried to sense every movement around him.
Right now, he had already lost hope in Ghost Five, Ghost Six, and Ghost Nine. Without any surprises, the three would be just like his young master, all dead under his opponent's assassination.
"Huh! I have been through all kinds of tough battles. You want to kill me? In your dreams! " As the leader of the Ghost Hall, the ghost head was famous for his assassination skills. After calming down, he had actually gotten used to Ye Chen's fighting style. He wanted to see who would be the first one to fall.
