Chapter 666: Chapter 672: Taking Action
Several third-tier ghost creatures joined forces, putting significant pressure on Li Chengsheng; however, he did not call upon his Spirit Beast for assistance, choosing to use this opportunity to hone his own skills instead.
Of course, if he truly found himself outmatched, he would not hesitate to act.
Li Chengsheng’s Mana was incredibly fierce, with his fire leaving only wailing spirits in its wake. Even those third-tier spirits dared not confront the might of the Great Sun Extreme Yang directly.
It seemed they had learned some Secret Technique and coordinated their efforts exceptionally well, making it difficult for Li Chengsheng to dispatch them quickly.
Thus, the battle between them fell into a deadlock!
"Senior brother, that man is very powerful. Should we make our move now?"
Qing Fan looked intently into the water mirror, and after a moment, shook his head with a smile, "Junior brother, there’s no rush. Taiyin hasn’t appeared yet."
In such matters, one either does nothing at all or strikes a fatal blow, and he was awaiting the perfect opportunity to strike.
Hearing this, Qing Rong’s eyes lit up, and a brilliant yet sinister smile appeared on his face as he said, "Senior brother’s thoughts are meticulous; I am far inferior!"
At this time, Li Chengsheng, who was fiercely battling the spirits, also sensed that something was amiss! 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝔠𝔬𝖒
As the night deepened and Taiyin rose high into the sky, the Yin Qi between heaven and earth became even denser and more oppressive, while the strength of the spirits grew even stronger.
"As long as you quietly accept death, given your decent cultivation, we will spare you from torture!" The leading third-tier spirit laughed boisterously, as if it had absolute confidence in overcoming Li Chengsheng.
"Hmph! Who lives and who dies is yet to be determined!" Li Chengsheng snorted coldly and summoned his Life-bound Magic Treasure, the Great Sun Fiery Bead.
The Treasure Bead shone in the sky as if the sun had returned to Tianqiong, its warm and scorching rays spreading for miles around, suppressing the active Yin Qi once again.
"Who exactly are you! Why has my ghost creature clan never heard of your existence!" The third-tier spirit’s face sank like dark waters, its blood-red eyes fixated on Li Chengsheng, as if trying to etch his image deep into its memory.
The ghost creature clan naturally knew that Yang Qi was extremely restraining against them. With the sun hanging high above the nine heavens, they were powerless to do anything about it.
But among the Cultivators, anyone who practiced Sun-oriented Cultivation Techniques would be known by them, unless that person lived their entire life without ever revealing themselves or acting!
It should be known that the ghost creature clan specifically deployed many night roaming spirits to scout for Yang Attribute cultivators.
Then they would do everything in their power to annihilate them! Even if it meant paying a tremendous price, they would not allow such cultivators to exist.
Someone like Li Chengsheng, with a Golden Core Late Stage cultivation and practicing a Cultivation Technique of such an extremely Yang and intense nature, should have long been on their kill list!
"Loose Cultivator Huang Guangling."
Li Chengsheng let out a cold laugh and said, "Let’s see what other abilities you have!"
With the blessing of his Life-bound Magic Treasure, his offense became even more ferocious. Every move was filled with intense Yang Qi. Not to mention the lower-tier spirits, even the third-tier ones besieging him dared not come close.
"Even if we all perish here today, we will execute you!" The leading spirit howled to the sky, its body bursting with a terrifying suction force that absorbed all nearby spirits and Yin Qi into itself.
In an instant, a nine-zhang-tall ghost creature with a green face and fierce teeth, holding giant weapons in each hand, appeared outside the city, "Everyone, merge with me to eliminate this foe!"
It did not rush to attack, but with its cold, blood-red, enormous eyes, it looked towards the few third-tier spirits not far away.
If they did not take the hint and willingly throw themselves into its belly, it would not mind lending them a hand.
Having been caught off guard before, Li Chengsheng was now prepared and would not continue to give it the chance to strengthen itself.
He stretched out his hand and pointed at the Sun Li Fire Pearl, and immediately a phoenix cry and a raven’s screech rang out as two top-ranked Spirit Beasts from myths soared out!
One, with long feathers and a body flushed red, had eyes as sharp as a hawk, with talons and beak black as obsidian, glinting with a cold light; the other was clad in radiant gold, with a large body that exuded an imperial air of disdain over all, its head held high, its pitch-black eyes filled with contempt for all living beings.
"Vermilion Bird!"
"Three-legged Golden Crow!"
In both the massive ghost creature and the Tao-seeking Courtyard, two exclamations of surprise echoed simultaneously.
But they soon realized that these were not real Divine Beasts, but rather manifestations created from the Sun Spirit Flame and the Southern Bright Li Fire.
The reason they had not realized this at first was due to the terrifying momentum that had stunned their minds.
"Humph! Mere illusions, how dare you be so presumptuous!" The massive ghost creature roared in anger, seemingly to cover up its momentary discomposure.
Several beams of black light flew out from its body, entwining around those third-tier ghost creatures, attempting to forcibly merge them into itself.
Shriek!
Li Chengsheng paid no heed to the noise around him, and with a thought, he controlled the two mythical beast illusions. The Vermilion Bird charged at the third-tier ghost creatures that had yet to merge, while the Three-legged Golden Crow attacked the massive ghost creature.
The Southern Bright Li Fire possessed the power to drive out evil and purify, causing the black lights that came into contact with it to melt away like spring snow, instantly dispersing; the Sun Spirit Flame suppressed all yin and evil creatures, leaving the ghost creature no match for it.
"Brother, it’s time to take action! If we don’t act now, that ghost creature will be destroyed by him," Qing Rong said urgently in the Tao-seeking Courtyard.
Qing Fan had not expected Li Chengsheng to be so powerful, and his abilities especially countered ghost creatures. Despite the ghosts having the advantages of time and the cooperation of men, they were still no match for him!
"Junior brother, you’re right!"
At this point, there was no turning back for them!
If the matter of their standing by came to light, not to mention whether their own Sect would punish them, the forces backing Li Chengsheng would definitely not let them off!
Unfortunately, they did not know that Li Chengsheng was not a cultivator of this realm; even if he had a powerful backer, they would have no way to deal with them.
"Then let’s take action!" Qing Fan said gravely, immediately calling out his Array Plate. In the next moment, the Formation that enveloped Sanhe County receded like a tide, revealing the vast city to the ghost creature.
At the same time, Qing Rong sacrificed his Life-bound Magic Treasure, pouring eighty percent of his Mana into it; a gleam of cold light pierced the air, aiming straight for the back of Li Chengsheng’s heart.
Qing Fan was a breath slower, as he sacrificed a Golden Ruyi that emitted a blinding Spirit Light, carrying the force of a thousand jun, and followed closely behind.
"What’s going on!?"
The moment the Formation vanished, Li Chengsheng was startled, and his attention was divided. The massive ghost creature seized the opportunity and devoured one of the third-tier ghost creatures, increasing its momentum.
Meanwhile, the lower-tier ghost creatures that were entangled with the cultivators let out excited roars at the sight of the disappearing Formation, throwing off their opponents and flying towards the city.
"Sigh!"
In the current situation, Li Chengsheng was powerless, and those mortals could only hope for their own luck.
Just as Li Chengsheng was about to concentrate and eliminate the third-tier ghost creatures before him, a sudden intense sense of danger surged in his heart!
