Chapter 97: A continuous battle at the pinnacle
I didn’t expect the bug to be so terrifying. The existence of the King of Ghosts, which combined the power of the two factions, had shrunk a little bit in less than a minute after the bug had eaten it.
However, as Xue had said, she could not control these bugs in a “harmonious” way, and could only rely on the bug king to suppress them. The drawbacks of simple control were also exposed. After a while, some of the bugs refused to “gather” to eat, but instead flew around the valley, or circled around the bug king and refused to leave.
Even so, the ghost king still encountered the greatest crisis. It had no way to get rid of these things, and could only rely on the power of the soul to “shatter” the spirit of these insects, and then achieve the goal of the death of the insects.
However, the effect was extremely poor. The bugs didn’t know what was going on, and the King of Ghosts was furious and frantically trying to kill the bugs, but after several minutes, only a dozen or so bugs had died.
How pitiful is this?
The people over there finally realized the power of this insect. Weng Li shouted, “Please summon the spirit, is it ready yet? Is it not yet?”
At this time, there was no other way but to absolutely enhance the strength of the King of Ghosts. No matter what, the only way to solve the problem was to enhance it at all costs. Even if half of the bugs were still flying around like snowflakes, the remaining bugs would be able to eat the King of Ghosts clean in a certain amount of time.
By then, once the Ghost King, who has gathered the strength of the two factions, falls, the remaining people will have no fighting power at all!
Faced with Weng Li’s anxiety, the elders of Xiao Chengqian’s lineage were obviously more calm. One of the elders ignored Weng Li’s desperation and simply said, “The divine art is almost complete. There is no rush. When the time comes, we old folks will take action. You will have to use your strongest secret arts, even if you are afraid.”
The old man spoke lightly, but his eyes were fixed on my body. Perhaps my body suddenly clenched a set of extremely complex hand gestures, causing a shock in the space. He felt incredible, as if he were facing a great enemy.
I was the most pitiful. In the past, I had a remnant soul in my body, and I could communicate with my master. But now, it seemed that my remnant soul had been imprisoned by my master in the spirit altar, and I could not learn anything at all. I didn’t even know what my master was doing.
“Ah…” A long shout rang out in the crowd, and finally someone succeeded in summoning the spirit.
The soul power that surged through the spirit summoning technique naturally flowed to the King of Ghosts through the secret technique without hesitation. As the first person completed the spirit summoning technique, one after another, people began to complete the spirit summoning technique…
The ghost king, which had been nibbled by the bugs, was shrinking and even weak. Now, with the infusion of new power, his body swelled up again and his attacks became fierce. Seven or eight of the bugs died instantly.
Of course, these seven or eight bugs were not worth mentioning in relation to the number of bugs, but these bugs were not completely under the command of Ru Xue. Even Renhua could not completely control them back then. When they sensed the danger of their lives, more bugs left the King of Ghosts with their powerful survival instincts, which Ru Xue simply could not stop.
If it could be stopped, Renhua wouldn’t have had to come up with a way to suppress the bugs.
“Hahaha, it works, it works! Listen to me, everyone use the last secret technique.” Weng Li laughed a few times, because of the expansion of the power of the King of Ghosts, the bugs immediately flew away by half, and the rate of consumption slowed down significantly. He felt that as long as he made one more effort, the bugs would leave, although he didn’t know why.
Weng Li said so and did so. He used the same secret technique as He Long used when he fought me.
Because the King of Ghosts was probably the most powerful technique he had ever mastered in his life, and he might only have this one chance to condense it into the King of Ghosts in his entire life, he was of course most concerned, and he was of course too eager to win!
With so much power infused, the power of the Ghost King became more and more powerful, and more and more of the snow worms flew away.
“Boom,” behind me, a sound of thunder rang out. I turned my head sharply, and I had only one thought in my mind: Isn’t this place forbidden to use the Five Elements? How can there be thunder? Could it be that the master’s complicated hand gestures were just to attract thunder?
But the moment I turned around, I was wrong. The roar was not thunder at all, but the sky in this valley was torn open!
The Grandmaster’s hand movements became faster and faster, but his eyes were already open. I saw beads of sweat on his forehead. It was obvious that just now he had used a magic technique that I didn’t know about. At this moment, the Grandmaster’s eyes were open, which could only mean one thing: the most difficult period of this magic technique had passed.
I looked at the master in a daze, and then looked at the sky in the evening scene of a beautiful sunset, with a large gap of a person’s size opening up in an unharmonious way. Ripples were rippling around the gap, and it felt so strange. What was the master going to do?
“Chengyi, merge your soul into the tiger soul, and only leave one soul to guard the spirit platform.” The master looked at me and then suddenly said this.
If another cultivator had said this to me, I would have been so angry that I would have fought with him. This is completely the rhythm of “taking over the body,” or the rhythm of destroying my soul. But when my master said this, I was extremely relieved.
At that moment, I began to summon my own soul, and I felt a faint excitement in my heart. This was something I had never done before. The strongest soul merger!
My soul and the soul of the tiger kept merging, and I felt a surge of soul power wave after wave pounding the tiger’s body. I felt the claws sharpening a little more, and I felt a whirling, cutting, and annihilating aura of evil energy surrounding me!
For the first time, I felt a kind of momentum called “powerful”!
The master had already sat down on the ground, with his hands pointing straight at his heart and spirit altar, and shouted, “Chengyi, you go help that girl. Go fight!”
At the same time, a golden light appeared in the dark mouth, as if struggling to break free, and finally “broke out of the shell” and rushed towards the master.
At that moment, I suddenly had a feeling that this golden light should be the soul of the master, or a remnant of the real master. But didn’t the master go to Kunlun? What was going on in the middle? How could my spiritual awareness give me such a hint?
The golden light rushed into my body. What happened? I couldn’t feel the only remaining soul. At this moment, the ghost king had already turned the balance of victory back. The number of bugs left on it was less than one-third of the total number of bugs, and every minute, 5 or 6 of them died.
The secret arts of the evil cult are still being practiced. Obviously, our battle has not reached the final stage of life and death, and neither side has yet to show their full strength!
We can’t wait any longer. If the King of Ghosts is completely free of the control of the worms, we will lose. Losing is death, and maybe even worse than death. I can’t rely on the Grand Master, because this isn’t the real Grand Master. Besides, the Grand Master said that we must first open the tomb!
I roared and threw myself into the battle again. With the wind beside me, I pounced and jumped to the side of the King of Ghosts. Almost without thinking, I raised my claws and grabbed him…
Boom! I am a spirit, but I also felt as if my brain had been shaken. I fought the King of Ghosts with all my might, using my speed to my advantage to bite the King of Ghosts several times. However, compared to my small body, the King of Ghosts was so huge that my few bites , could not bring it decisive harm, but rather as it body fusion better and better, get rid of the more and more bugs, finally seized the opportunity, gave me such a hard blow, suddenly I was blown away far away, if this power is greater, my soul power will be scattered some.
I got back on my feet and shook my head, which was still a bit dizzy, but I heard my master’s voice: “Chengyi, keep fighting. You just need to hold on a little longer.”
Then, I heard the Grandmaster say to Ruoxue, “Little girl, do your best to command these bugs. It’s good for you to expend some energy. Just hold on for a little while longer.”
Did he complete the spell? It was just a few simple words, and my body was still mine, but at this moment, I discovered that my master was so different. His temperament and aura were different, and he had a powerful presence that made people stand in awe.
Grandmaster, is he alive?
