As the night deepened, the moon quietly hid behind the lotus clouds.
Dozens of miles away, the Gold Tripod City was full of people and lights. However, the forest was quiet, and the atmosphere was depressing.
Without a sound, the cold light suddenly exploded.
"Get lost!"
The Ghost Head yelled. His skinny palm tore out a few purple claw energies. The claw energies were aggressive and sharp, clashing with the cold light.
Chi!
After leaving a sword mark on the Ghost Lord's arm, Ye Chen's body flashed and disappeared into the night.
"It seems like I have overestimated myself after all. I thought I could threaten Astral Reaching Realm warriors in a complicated environment. But now, it seems like I can't even kill a peak-level Late Clasping Yuan Realm warrior who knows how to assassinate with one attack. It would be even more difficult for me to deal with an Astral Reaching Realm warrior. As long as I miss one attack, the Astral Reaching Realm warrior would be able to kill me ten times over." Ye Chen was very clear about the horrifying power of Astral Reaching Realm warriors. If the opponent did not put up his protective Zhen yuan layer, he might still have a chance. But if he did, then there would be no chance at all, since the quality of the Zhen yuan was not something zhen Qi could compete with.
Like a ghost, he moved around Senior Ghost without making any sound. Ye Chen rolled his eyes, raised his right hand, and pointed at the air.
Bang!
In the distance, the Ghost Elder felt like he was struck by lightning. His feet left the ground and crashed into a big tree.
The big tree collapsed with a loud bang, and the leaves flew everywhere.
"Good chance!"
Hiding the Star Scar Sword in its scabbard, Ye Chen's body flashed, creating four zhen qi shadows. The four zhen qi shadows ran along with his real body. The difference was that his real body did not expose any qi, while the zhen qi vibration coming from the zhen qi shadows were like luminous pearls in the dark night, extremely eye-catching.
"Four, which one, or none of them."
The power of the Void Shattering Finger Art was too weak, so the Ghost Head, who had cultivated the Purple Zombie Demonic Art, was not affected at all. He stood up in shock, not knowing what Ye Chen was doing.
I don't care anymore, I'll kill them all together!
With a roar, an intense cyan light appeared on the Ghost's body. Both of his hands cooperated with each other, and countless claw energies spread out, turning into an inescapable net.
Cha cha cha cha cha cha …
The Zhen Qi shadow was cut into pieces, dissipating into the purest energy.
Xiu!
The threatening sword light came from behind the Ghost Head.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time." The Ghost Head laughed. He twisted his body and spun in a spiral shape, shooting out several claw energies.
With a bang, the sound of weapons breaking rang out.
The ghost head knew that the weapon in Ye Chen's hand was clearly a low rank weapon. How could it be broken in one attack? It should be known that even Astral Reaching Realm warriors would have a hard time destroying low rank weapons.
"Rest in peace!"
In front of him, Ye Chen held the Star Scar Sword and pierced through the ghost head's body. It turned out that the second his zhen Qi shadow had been destroyed, he had created another zhen Qi shadow and made it hold the normal great sword, the Dragon Spring Sword. Taking advantage of the chaos, Ye Chen had gotten behind the ghost head and created the most realistic illusion of an attack. His real body was still in front of the ghost head, giving him a lightning attack. Everything was perfect, and it had worked.
"I can't accept this! Beast Transformation!" The Ghost head's eyes turned red all of a sudden. He pushed his Purple Zombie Demon Art to its limit. Zhen Qi traveled along the Star Scar Sword, then started to vibrate violently before exploding and leaking out.
"It's a secret martial art!"
Ye Chen's expression changed drastically. His palm almost dropped the Star Scar Sword. Soon, that vibrating exploding power exploded out and landed on his chest.
Pulling out the sword, Ye Chen puked out a mouthful of blood and was blown away.
"Die!"
His red eyes dragged out two beams of light in the dark night. The ghost head appeared in front of Ye Chen within a second. His palm, no, it was his beast claw that reached down, tearing apart Ye Chen's protective zhen Qi layer.
"Shadow Explosion!"
The extreme danger had made Ye Chen extremely calm. His body shook once, and his real body left the protective zhen Qi layer, avoiding the ghost head's attack.
The zhen Qi shadow that he had left behind had been torn apart. The ghost head opened his mouth and roared at Ye Chen, letting out a lump of condensed sound wave.
"Break!"
Ye Chen pointed out his right index finger in the air, hitting the sound wave right in the middle.
The sound wave twisted violently and exploded, turning into countless sound blades that spread out, cutting the trees and the ground into pieces.
Rumble!
Right at that moment, the ground suddenly started to shake.
As he was flying backward, Ye Chen looked over at the ghost head. The ghost head, who had already turned into a beast, stabbed both of his hands into the ground. He used all of his strength to lift up a ten-meter-big piece of dirt, attacking towards Ye Chen.
"My intelligence seems to have decreased."
Under the pressure of the zhen Qi, the dirt suddenly softened. Ye Chen quickly sank into the ground, avoiding the huge dirt.
The dirt was shattered, and the ghost head, who had turned into a beast, went through it. He did not see Ye Chen anywhere.
"Here!"
The sword light shot out from under his feet, flashing once before disappearing.
AWOOO!
The ghost head let out a scream that did not sound like a human. Deep sword marks appeared between his legs. Normally, if a human were to receive this kind of sword attack, they would be paralyzed for a short period of time. However, in his beast form, besides screaming, the first thing that came to his mind was to fight back. He bent his body and threw out a punch onto the ground.
The ground within a ten-meter-radius started to shake violently, looking like a huge wave.
At the edge, Ye Chen jumped out with a pale face. His eyebrows were tightly knitted together.
"Although the ghost head had lost most of his human mind, he had become even more violent and fearless. His defense seemed to be no weaker than the body training martial art from before. That should not be a problem. The reaction and speed of the ghost head had increased tremendously, which made him even scarier than a beast at the same level. What kind of secret martial art is this?" Looking at the ghost head, who had needle-like hair all over his body, a face that looked like a wolf's mouth, and sharp teeth, Ye Chen felt a headache. In order to increase his attacking power, he had turned himself into something that was neither a human nor a ghost.
The ghost head looked at Ye Chen from afar. His beast eyes were full of cruelty and killing intent.
He had bought the beast transformation secret martial art from the trading palace in the Martial City. Different from the other martial arts, the beast transformation secret martial art could only be performed with the spirit blood of a beast. Normally, he would not use this martial art unless it was a life or death situation, because once he used it, his beast body would automatically release his zhen Qi. Before, Ye Chen had been wounded by the zhen Qi that had leaked out. Besides that, after the beast transformation, although the warrior's cultivation would still be the same, his zhen Qi would need to be accumulated slowly. Without the Fire Dragon Fruit and other natural treasures, he might not be able to recover even after a year and a half. That was the real reason why he did not dare to use it easily.
Roar!
A loud roar was heard as the ghost head's legs bounced and jumped towards Ye Chen. His huge claws were shining with a cold light in the night.
"Void Shattering Finger! Hit!"
Pointing out his right index finger in the air, Ye Chen held his sword with his left hand and attacked.
Under the powerful Void Shattering Finger power, the ghost head's beast body stopped in midair. Then, a beam of sword light pierced towards his forehead.
Crack!
The ghost head's head reached up a little bit. He opened his huge mouth full of sharp teeth and bit onto the Star Scar Sword. His body tilted, and a slim black shadow suddenly shot out, wrapping around Ye Chen's body.
"Tail!"
Wrapping around Ye Chen was a long and thin tail full of fur. It looked a bit like a snake, but without scales. Plus, it was very soft. The more Ye Chen struggled, the tighter the tail got.
With his body wrapped up and his Star Scar Sword bitten, Ye Chen did not even think before he formed a fist with his right hand and punched heavily onto the ghost head's huge chin.
Popping sounds continued to be heard. Blood leaked out from the corner of the ghost head's mouth, and one of his teeth had also been broken. A deep roar came from his throat as his two beast claws attacked towards Ye Chen from both sides.
Without a choice, Ye Chen let go of his left hand that was holding the Star Scar Sword. He reached out both of his hands, blocking out the ghost head's beast claws. At the same time, he twisted his body. Waves of twisting power acted on his tail. As long as the tail loosened even a little bit, he would be able to escape.
The series of movements between the two had all happened in midair. Soon, the ghost head landed on the ground first, while Ye Chen was wrapped up by the tail, both of his feet hanging in the air.
"Tornado Broken Clouds!"
Using his feet as a sword, Ye Chen kicked his right foot up. His Mysterious zhen Qi simulated the sword Qi, twisting the qi flow and creating a small tornado in the narrow space between the two. The tornado expanded rapidly, attacking both Ye Chen and the ghost head's bodies.
Originally, the ghost head was just about to suppress Ye Chen, and his beast claws were about to break through Ye Chen's defense. But, under the attack of the tornado, his tail could not help but loosen, and his eyes could not see anything.
Ye Chen could not see anything either. However, with his powerful soul power, his eyes could not see as clearly as his eyes. Enduring the cutting power of the tornado, his body shook, and he instantly escaped from the tail's control. Then, with a weird posture, he moved towards the tornado. After spinning for half a circle, he had completely merged into it. Without even looking, he reached out his palm and took out the Star Scar Sword from the ghost head's mouth.
With the Star Scar Sword in his hand, Ye Chen used the spinning power of the tornado to perform his Lone Peak Kill over and over again.
Pooh! Pooh! Pooh!
At such a close distance, the ghost head could not even dodge. His body had been pierced through like a sieve by the sword edge. His body looked like a bucket with a lot of holes, and blood kept pouring out of the holes.
The tornado was not made of sword Qi after all. Under the continuous attacks, the spinning power was getting weaker and weaker, and eventually disappeared. Ye Chen stood in midair as he threw out a sword attack like lightning, stabbing into the ghost head's forehead within a second. The tip of the sword came out from the back of his head.
The needle-like hair disappeared, and the ghost head returned to his human body. The life in his eyes had disappeared completely.
Whoo!
Taking out the Star Scar Sword, Ye Chen's legs felt a bit weak. He looked down and saw that the clothes on his body were torn, revealing the low-rank light armor underneath. The low-rank light armor was not damaged at all. If it were not for it, that tornado would have wounded him badly, since it was created between the two of them. Of course, if it were not for that tornado, the result would have been unimaginable. The ghost head who had turned into a beast was even more horrifying than a beast. His speed and reflexes had reached a whole new level. If it was a frontal attack, the Lone Peak Kill would not be able to lock onto him at all. Only like what happened before, where his opponent could not dodge at all, would it work.
Puking out a mouthful of blood, Ye Chen wiped his lips. He forced a laugh. This battle could be the most dangerous one since he had arrived on this true spirit continent. If he was not careful, he would be killed by his opponent. Just like Murong Qingcheng had said, some of the peak-level Clasping Yuan Realm warriors who had no hope of reaching the Astral Reaching Realm were very scary. Because of that, in order to increase their attacking power, they would do everything they could, even destroying their own image.
