My Cold and Elegant CEO Wife - Chapter 918

Chapter 918: Breaking Through Into Half-Step True Spirit Realm

 

With his powerful Strangle Hell Fist, Qingfeng Li forced Ghost King back again. Ghost King was no match for Qingfeng Li when they fought only with fist techniques.

However, Ghost King possessed greater strength than Qingfeng Li since he had reached the half-step True Spirit Realm after the refinement of the self-cultivation techniques given by the Sky Ghost Elder.

I can’t continue with only fist attacks or I will be suppressed. The Ghost King’s eyes glinted.

“Ghost Soldier Realm.” With a low yell, the Ghost King released the Ghost Soldier Realm.

Formed with evil spirits, the Ghost Soldier Realm was more powerful than the Fierce Ghost Realm.

The unorthodox Ghost series techniques divided from the lowest to the highest were Fierce Ghost, Ghost Soldier, Ghost General, Ghost King…

With years of cultivation, the Ghost King was extremely powerful and could summon Ghost Soldiers.

In an area with a diameter of sixty meters, a gigantic black field full of evil spirit fighters appeared. The Ghost Soldiers were more solid and thus more powerful than Fierce Ghosts.

Sensing the great power of the Ghost Soldier Realm, Qingfeng Li’s face turned grim and released the Gravity Realm immediately.

A giant black light shield came into being in an area with a diameter of thirty meter and a huge force of gravity came from the underground, sucking the Ghost Soldiers downward.

But the Ghost Soldiers had more strength than the fierce ghosts and they could stumble forward despite the sucking force.

Qingfeng Li was taken aback by what he saw. If the Ghost Soldiers got rid of the Gravity Realm, they would attack him.

“Inferno Realm.”

“Storm Realm.”

He released two other territories, one more field than when he fought Hell King since Ghost King was much more powerful.

In the area of thirty meters, a giant wind light shroud appeared soon after a large field of fire formed.

All at once, the Gravity Realm, Inferno Realm, and Storm Realm rushed towards the Ghost Soldier Realm.

Three fields altogether unleashed such a horribly great power that the Ghost Soldiers were instantly destroyed.

Thanks to his great talents, Qingfeng Li had gained insights of three fields. He could not have been able to defeat the Ghost Soldier Realm with only one, but with three fields, he was generally unrivaled.

Puchi!

With the destruction of the Ghost Soldier Realm, the Ghost King spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes full of astonishment.

“You, you, you gained insights into three fields?” Ghost King was so stunned that he stammered out his words.

He had been very proud of his talent but even he had only gained insight of one field. It was beyond his imagination that Qingfeng Li had gained three.

As a former ancient martial artist and now a self-cultivator, the Ghost King was quite familiar with fields, knowing that only people with extremely high talents could master two or even three fields.

“Qingfeng Li is too talented. I must kill him today,” the Ghost King thought.

He knew that if he didn’t kill Qingfeng Li, he would die the next time they met.

“Hellhound Bloodline.” With a low yell, the Ghost King released the Hell Hound Bloodline.

Hellhounds, a more advanced kind of dogs, lived in the ancient hell and helped subdue the rebellious ferocious ghosts.

The Hellhound Bloodline awakened by the Ghost King could Devourer any ferocious ghosts.

A giant hell hound shadow appeared in the air. Raven fur, sharp fangs, it looked ugly and terrifying.

It opened its huge jaws and bit viciously at Qingfeng Li.

“Devourer Bloodline.” With a grim face, Qingfeng Li released the Devourer Bloodline. He had felt strongly threatened by the hell hound.

A huge black vortex formed with the ability to Devourer all energy like a black hole in the space.

The black vortex was formed by the Devourer Bloodline. It tried to engulf the hellhound but the latter seemed to have sensed the danger and dodged.

Qingfeng Li’s expression changed. It seemed the hellhound was more powerful than any other bloodlines that he had encountered; it obviously had a spirit of its own sine it knew how to dodge an attack.

His Devourer Bloodline could devour anything but it was still not yet well-tamed, thus the devourer could not move freely and hard trouble locking onto the speedy hell hound.

“Brat, the dragon blood is a jinx for all bloodlines. Use your dragon blood to subdue the hellhound and then devour it.” The voice of the Dark Night Emperor sounded in Qingfeng Li’s head.

As a once conqueror of the ancient martial world, the Dark Night Emperor was very knowledgeable. The moment he saw the hellhound, he knew that only a true dragon could subdue this evil existence of the ancient hell.

Qingfeng Li nodded with exhilaration. He was quite new and inexperienced in the self-cultivation world but the Dark Night Emperor, like a good teacher and friend, always offered him excellent advice in the times of need.

Qingfeng Li circulated the dragon blood in his body to activate the power of the dragon bloodline. A golden dragon head shadow appeared in the sky.

Since he had only one drop of dragon blood in his body, the dragon phantom he summoned only had a head.

But only a dragon head shadow was enough to frighten the hellhound which shivered all over at the sight and dared not to move.

Golden Dragon was the most powerful existence and a supreme magic beast among all the animals and demon beasts and one drop of blood from it had enough power to subdue the hellhound.

Qingfeng Li was quite pleased to see the hell hound shadow freeze on spot and shiver all over.

“Devour it.” Qingfeng Li ordered the Devourer Bloodline to engulf the hellhound.

The giant black vortex connected with a mysterious unknown space rushed over to the hell hound and swallowed it.

The pitiful hellhound, subdued and frozen by the Golden Dragon shadow, was thus engulfed by the Devourer Bloodline.

The hellhound shadow was congealed by the Ghost King’s nature blood and essence blood and contained all his great power. But now the power was swallowed by Qingfeng Li’s Devourer Bloodline and thus became part of Qingfeng Li’s energy

BOOM!

After swallowing the hellhound, the Devourer Bloodline turned into a huge surge of energy filling Qingfeng Li’s body.

The energy from the hellhound was mixed with the self-cultivator’s aura which added to Qingfeng Li’s cultivation progress.

The strength in Qingfeng Li’s dantian grew quickly and the circulation accelerated, gathering the blue vital essence and forming half of a blue vital core.

Only a self-cultivator could concentrate the vital essence and form the vital core while an ancient Martial Artist had only vital essence.

Half a blue vital core was a sign of the breakthrough into the half-step True Spirit Realm.

After swallowing the Ancient Hellhound Bloodline, Qingfeng Li broke through to the half-step True Spirit Realm.

Chapter 919: Killing Ghost King

 

“Such powerful energy!” Sensing the power surging in his body when he reached the half-step True Spirit Realm, Qingfeng Li was full of exhilaration.

Thanks to the Ghost King’s ancient hellhound bloodline he had just swallowed, Qingfeng Li’s power had grown to the level of half-step True Spirit Realm.

At the same time, the Ghost King was devastated because he was severely wounded when his bloodline was swallowed.

The scale of power had thus tilted favorably toward Qingfeng Li, whose strength had greatly increased while Ghost King’s power declined.

“Ghost King, you can meet your death now.” In a flash, Qingfeng Li moved to the side of the Ghost King and punched him with a Strangle Hell Fist, carrying the force of a huge mountain crashing down towards Ghost King.

Boom!

Ghost King was slow to react due to his wounds and was thrown heavily onto the gate of the palace, creating a hole in the gate.

The Strangle Hell Fist was a complete counter to the Ghost King and could prevent him from releasing his techniques and strength.

Qingfeng Li had meant to continue punching his rival with the Strangle Hell Fist when he found his vital essence only enough for two or more punches.

It was not necessary to exhaust himself by continuing using the Strangle Hell Fist. He could still kill his opponent with the Fire Fiery Sword.

The Ghost King crashed through the broken gate and landed on the ground of the palace. The disciples of the Ghost Palace all rushed out.

“Palace master, are you ok?” They asked.

“Go and kill the young man.” Pointing at Qingfeng Li, the Ghost King ordered his hundred or so disciples.

However, they were met with the fighters led by Niching Luo and Jianghe Tang. Both of them yelled, “Come on, everyone, kill the disciples of the Ghost Palace.”

The Luo Family members led by Niching Tang and the Tang Family members led by Jianghe Tang surged toward the Ghost Palace disciples.

While Niching Luo and Jianghe Tang dealt with the Ghost Palace disciples, Qingfeng Li went straight toward the Ghost King.

Klang!

Qingfeng Li drew the Fire Fiery Sword and slashed it at Ghost King.

Puchi!

The wounded Ghost King was cut by the sharp sword aura and a big slash appeared on his body. Blood kept flowing from the cut and even his bones were exposed in the air.

Pale-faced, the Ghost King was attacked by a surge of fear. Qingfeng Li was too powerful for him, no matter if it was realm strength, bloodline energy or fist techniques.

Oh, yes, how did I forget I still have clones. Ghost King had been bent on defeating Qingfeng Li with his self-cultivation techniques and had thus totally forgotten about his clone technology.

Encouraged by the thought, the Ghost King took out a syringe with a red potion and injected it into his own body. Instantly, three other Ghost Kings walked out of the lab near the Ghost Palace.

The three Ghost Kings from the lab were clones of the Ghost King laying outside.

Evidently, the Ghost King had more powerful clone technology than Hell King, who could only clone one of himself while Ghost King cloned three. Now there were altogether four Ghost Kings.

It was unfortunate for him that his clones came too late, otherwise, Qingfeng Li would have been in mortal danger facing four Ghost Kings.

But the truth was that his clones were also wounded as he was and had much-reduced strength. Still, he now had four people fighting Qingfeng Li.

“Clones. Hmph, do you think I will fear the four of you?” Qingfeng Li smiled indifferently.

Qingfeng Li was unrivaled in his realm. Since he had just reached the half-step True Spirit Realm, he was fearless.

“Fire Fiery Silver Moon.” Qingfeng Li said in a low voice, launching the fourth and the most powerful Fire Fiery Sword technique.

A huge red moon of flames rose in the sky, emitting a burning air, and crashed into the first Ghost King.

Ahhh!

The first Ghost King screamed when the fire moon burned him up. He was a clone and the fire lit up the evil spirits in his body which died quite pitifully.

“The second.” Without a glance at the first Ghost King, Qingfeng Li rushed to the second Ghost King and slashed his sword, emitting a sharp sword aura.

Puchi!

The head of the second Ghost King was chopped off with a spurt of blood.

“The third.” Ignoring the dead body, Qingfeng Li dashed toward the third Ghost King.

He swung his sword and the head of the third Ghost King flew up, blood surging from the wound.

By this time, the first Ghost King had burnt to a pile of dust.

In a blink of eye, the three cloned Ghost Kings all died.

Puchi, puchi, puchi…

When the three clones died, the Ghost King spurted out more than a dozen mouthfuls of blood. His face was so white that he stumbled and almost dropped onto the ground.

The clones made by a special method with Ghost King’s essence blood were creepy and powerful, but in Qingfeng Li’s eyes they were all weaklings and were each killed with one sword strike.

“Ghost King, I’ve killed all your clones and now it’s your turn.”

With a chilling sneer, Qingfeng Li strode toward the Ghost King, razor-sharp killing intent all over him.

“Sky Ghost Elder, please help me!” Ashen-faced, Ghost King yelled at one of the rooms in the Ghost Palace.

Like all the dying people, the Ghost King wished someone could come to his rescue. But he was doomed because the Sky Ghost Elder was in the critical stage of a complete recovery from his injury and would not come.

The Sky Ghost Elder was a true self-cultivator, a master of True Spirit Realm, and he would not put the Ghost King’s life before his own recovery.

Puchi!

Without hesitation, Qingfeng Li chopped off Ghost King’s head.

In his final moment, Ghost King was filled with fear and bafflement, not understanding why the Sky Ghost Elder didn’t come to his rescue. After all, he was the Sky Ghost Elder’s representative in the ancient martial world.

Merely killing Ghost King with one sword strike didn’t satisfy Qingfeng Li. He cut Ghost King’s body into pieces to avenge for his father.

“Father, did you see it? I killed your foe, the Ghost King.” Looking into the distance, Qingfeng Li murmured to himself.

Chapter 920: Ruyan Liu is Dying

 

After killing the Ghost King, Qingfeng Li’s expression grew grimmer because he had sensed a frighteningly strong presence inside the Ghost Palace.

Niching Luo and others were still fighting the remaining disciples of the Ghost Palace, which left Qingfeng Li free to search for Ruyan Liu.

“Miss Luo, you stay here and I will go in and search of Ruyan Liu.” With that said, he ran into the Ghost Palace.

There were several rooms in the depth of the palace. He didn’t find Ruyan Liu in the first two rooms.

He sensed a familiar presence when he came to the third room. Pushing the door open, he found Ruyan Liu laying on the bed, her belly big with the baby.

“Ruyan, are you okay?” Qingfeng Li asked with concern.

Hearing his voice, Ruyan Liu opened her eyes. She looked very anxious and kept shaking her head at him as if she was telling him to run.

She couldn’t speak with her mouth stuffed with a rag and she struggled with the ropes that bound her to the bed.

“Don’t worry, Ruyan. I’m here to save you.” Qingfeng Li smiled to reassure her.

“Heh heh, save her? Can you save her?” Suddenly, a chilling voice sounded in the room.

Qingfeng Li’s eyes sharpened and he saw an old man sitting cross-legged in the corner. The old man looked ageless with a ghastly death-white face.

He was wearing a black robe and emitted a chilling presence of a ghost, sending shivers to people around him.

The chilling old man was no other but the Sky Ghost Elder, a powerful master of the early-stage True Spirit Realm.

Such powerful energy! Qingfeng Li was horrified at the strength and freezing chill emitting from the old man.

Qingfeng Li knew that this old man was the most powerful enemy he had ever met, much more powerful than Hell King, Ghost King, fthe amily chiefs of the three families of Pacific Island, and all the others.

“Let her go.” Faced with the powerful Sky Ghost Elder, Qingfeng Li still demanded him to release Ruyan Liu.

“Let her go? In your dreams. You killed my disciple Hell King and this woman must die.” The Sky Ghost Elder sneered chillingly.

Swoosh!

With a flick of his finger, the Sky Ghost Elder shot a black light into Ruyan Liu’s body and her charming face turned instantly black and she fainted with a shriek.

He was so fast that Qingfeng Li had absolutely no time to react before the black light was shot into Ruyan Liu.

Seeing her body blackened and unconscious, Qingfeng Li burst with fury.

“Sky Ghost Elder, you dared to kill my woman! I will skin you alive and make you wish to die.” Qingfeng Li’s voice was as cold as death.

“I didn’t kill her, for now. I just planted a Fierce Ghost curse in her. If you can’t remove the curse in one hour, she and the baby in her belly will both die.”

“You are vicious.”

“You killed my disciple Hell King and this is my revenge. Your woman and baby will die, and so will you. I’m gonna skin you alive today.” The Sky Ghost Elder sneered.

Qingfeng Li knew that he had to kill the Sky Ghost Elder within one hour and remove the Fierce Ghost curse from her or she and the baby would die.

Swoosh!

He moved like a flash and rushed at the Sky Ghost Elder, intending to kill the despicable old fellow on spot.

No, death was too good for him. Qingfeng Li wanted to skin him alive.

“A mere half-step True Spirit Realm fighter, you are asking for death.” With a faint smile, the Sky Ghost Elder said arrogantly.

He pushed his right palm at Qingfeng Li and it landed on him with a horribly powerful force.

BOOM!

With a huge sound, Qingfeng Li flew backward, broke the door on his way and dropped heavily on the ground of the hall over a dozen meters away.

All the people turned to look at Qingfeng Li who had conquered everyone on his way here. Now he was sent flying out by a palm.

Hehe!

Qingfeng Li spat two mouthfuls of blood and struggled to his feet, face pale.

“Is this the power of the True Spirit Realm?” His face turned dark. The Sky Ghost Elder was too powerful for him to fight.

Since entering the ancient martial world, Qingfeng Li had conquered everyone in his way and even killed a master of half-step True Spirit Realm, which made him conceited and arrogant.

But today the Sky Ghost Elder gave him a heavy blow with his attack and showed him the great gulf between a master in the early-stage True Spirit Realm and a half-step True Spirit Realm fighter.

“Oh? You are still alive?” A trace of surprise entered the Sky Ghost Elder’s eyes when he saw Qingfeng Li though injured can still stand up.

He was a true self-cultivator and an early-stage True Spirit Realm master and thus extremely powerful.

And Qingfeng Li was only half a step into the True Spirit Realm or only a half-step self-cultivator. In short, he wasn’t even a true self-cultivator.

Only a true self-cultivator, like the Sky Ghost Elder, could master the vital essence between the sky and the earth, and activate the horrible power of heaven and earth.

Until this moment did Qingfeng Li realize the true power of a self-cultivator and its difference with an ancient Martial Artist or a half-step True Spirit Realm fighter.

The Sky Ghost Elder had met a half-step genuine fighter a short while ago. That fellow had looked down on him and was killed by him with a palm strike.

There was a huge gap between a half-step True Spirit Realm fighter and an early-stage True Spirit Realm master. And the Sky Ghost Elder wondered why Qingfeng Li didn’t die after being struck by his palm.

It was lucky for Qingfeng Li that he had practiced the Mortal Purgatory Body, which toughened his skin, muscles and bones and thus helped him withstand the palm strike from the Sky Ghost Elder. If he had been an ordinary half-step True Spirit Realm fighter, he would have been long dead.

“Fellow, you have very high talents that you should have survived my palm strike. But you will die anyway.” Smiling chillingly, the Sky Ghost Elder walked toward Qingfeng Li, killing intent all over him.

Chapter 921: Qingfeng’s Friends

 

Seeing the Sky Ghost Elder walk toward him, Qingfeng Li’s expression changed since he had been wounded by him and thus knew the old man’s power.

“Red Fiery Silver Moon.” He said in a low voice, launching the fourth and the most powerful Red Fiery Sword Technique.

The Sword aura emitting from the Red Fiery Sword left a huge rift in the air wherever it went and it formed a huge moon of flames rushing toward the Sky Ghost Elder.

With a cold smile, the Sky Ghost Elder pushed out his right palm and a surge of black mist engulfed the red flames and put them out instantly.

What?! The fire was put out?

Qingfeng Li was horrified when his most powerful sword technique was so easily blocked. Obviously, the Sky Ghost Elder had not only great strength but was skilled in fist techniques as well.

BOOM!

After quenching the flames of the Red Fiery Silver Moon, the Sky Ghost Elder pushed out another palm and sent Qingfeng Li flying again.

Qingfeng Li landed heavily on the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Wolf King, are you ok?” Niching Luo ran to him, concern on her face.

Qingfeng Li said in a low voice, “Miss Luo, the Sky Ghost Elder is too powerful. Just leave me and run.”

To his surprise, Niching Luo shook her head, “I won’t go.”

“Tsk, tsk, another little beauty. If you don’t do then you die.” With a chilling smile, he pushed a palm at Niching Luo.

Qingfeng Li was horrified at the attack. While he could withstand the old man’s strikes with his Mortal Purgatory Body, Niching Luo was quite defenseless against his vicious attack.

Suppressing the sharp pain of his wounds, Qingfeng Li pushed Niching Luo aside and took the strike for her.

Unsurprisingly, Qingfeng Li was sent flying again and dropped heavily on the ground more than a dozen meters away and spat another mouthful of blood.

He had taken the strike for Niching Luo because she had come to his rescue in the Ghost Palace.

But this time he couldn’t even stand up due to the great loss of blood and vital essence.

“Now you can meet your death.” The Sky Ghost Elder’s right hand reached out and slammed toward Qingfeng Li’s head.

The strength in the palm was extremely great and could have broken Qingfeng Li’s head.

Swoosh!

A blue flash with great energy shot into the Sky Ghost Elder’s palm and blocked his strike.

“Fiery Emperor’s Finger?” Frowning slightly, the Sky Ghost Elder recognized the blue flash was released from the Fiery Emperor’s Finger technique.

The Fiery Emperor’s Finger was similar to the Six-pulse Excalibur in Wuxia novels and could infuse vital essence into a finger and shoot out the huge energy which could easily pierce a car.

Xianzhi Qin, Flower Fairy, and Fengwu Cao strode in. It was Xianzhi Qin who had released the blue flash of light.

As the young mistress of the Fiery Emperor Palace, Xianzhi Qin’s strength had recently grown greatly because the seal in her body was broken and she had finished mastering the Fiery Emperor’s Finger, the highest martial techniques of the Fiery Emperor Palace.

Qingfeng Li had taken a helicopter to return to Huaxia while Xianzhi Qin and others took a ship. The moment they landed they received Qingfeng Li’s phone call asking them to go to the Ghost Palace in Tianjing City.

Xianzhi Qin knew the great power of the Ghost Place, a super first-class ancient martial force, and thus hurried over with the others in a helicopter.

She congratulated herself on coming in time to save Qingfeng Li.

“Who are you? And how did you learn the Fiery Emperor’s Finger of the Fiery Emperor Palace?” The Sky Ghost Elder asked, his face darkened.

Without a glance at the Sky Ghost Elder, Xianzhi Qin hurried over to Qingfeng Li and helped him up, “Are you okay?”

Cough!

Qingfeng Li coughed out another two mouthfuls of blood before saying, “I am fine.”

“You are not fine with so much blood loss. I will infuse some vital essence in you.” Placing her palm against his wrist, she began to transfer vital essence into his body.

Anxious about Qingfeng Li’s condition, Xianzhi Qin transferred as much as vital essence as she could into his body and in a short while Qingfeng Li’s complexion turned from a deathly white to a healthy pink.

Seeing her sweat-drenched face in her efforts of vital essence transferring, Qingfeng Li was quite moved.

The Sky Ghost Elder’s face darkened with fury that the woman should have ignored his question and dared to save Qingfeng Li.

He pushed out his right palm abruptly toward Xianzhi Qin’s head, intending to kill the interfering woman.

But his palm was blocked by Flower Fairy’s hand.

BOOM!

Their palms collided with each other with a huge sound. The Sky Ghost Elder held his ground while Flower Fairy was force back several steps.

“The early-stage of True Spirit Realm?” Surprise appeared on her charming face.

She now understood why Qingfeng Li was wounded, the Sky Ghost Elder was a master of the early-stage True Spirit Realm.

As the Saintess of the super-class force Hundred-flower Palace, Flower Fairy knew that the power of the True Spirit Realm was much greater than the half-step True Spirit Realm since the former mastered the vital essence between the sky and the earth and could launch attacks with techniques powered by nature.

Flower Fairy herself had exercised self-cultivation but concealed her true power. She had not expected the Sky Ghost Elder could force her back.

Flower Fairy’s beautiful eyes turned grim. The old man was indeed powerful but she could kill him if she released the mysterious energy sealed in her body.

However, she remembered her mother’s words that she would suffer great damage to her body if she broke the seal before she reached the early-stage of True Spirit Realm.

On the other hand, if she didn’t break the seal, the Sky Ghost Elder was too powerful for her to fight.

At this moment, Fengwu Cao strode over and said, “This old undead person is too powerful. I will help you.”

As someone with an official background, Fengwu Cao’s words of “old undead” was quite contradictory to the righteousness on her face.

The Sky Ghost Elder was furious at the name Fengwu Cao called him, “Are you Qingfeng Li’s wife or his woman? Why do you want to fight for him?”

Chapter 922: Forcing Back the Sky Ghost Elder

 

Hearing the Sky Ghost Elder call her Qingfeng Li’s woman, Fengwu Cao’s eyes glinted coldly. After all she was the Director of Huaxia Special Security Bureau and the Goddess of war of the country and thus was highly respected by all Huaxia people.

She enjoyed an extremely high rank in Huaxia, reporting only to the highest leader of the country. A surge of rage rose in her at the insult from the Sky Ghost Elder.

“Phoenix Dance Fist.” She yelled angrily and her right fist punched abruptly turning into a shadow of a phoenix.

Phoenix Dance Fist was a set of self-cultivation techniques passed down from one generation to the next in her family.

The fist ripped open the air with a whistling sound and slammed viciously at the Sky Ghost Elder.

Sensing the horribly great strength on her fist, the Sky Ghost Elder’s face turned grim.

Fengwu Cao was a half-step True Spirit Realm fighter with the same power as Qingfeng Li and her Phoenix Dance Fist was a perfect match of Strangle Hell Fist.

Qingfeng Li had just refined the first technique of the Strangle Hell Fist while Fengwu Cao had mastered the second technique the Phoenix Dance Fist, and thus was stronger than Qingfeng Li.

As with martial techniques refinement, self-cultivation refinement was also divided into amateur, medial, skilled, and perfection.

Fengwu Cao had refined her Phenix Dance Fist into the medial level and even the Sky Ghost Elder had to regard her cautiously.

This time the Sky Ghost Elder concentrated his vital essence in his palm and turned it into a shadow of devilish Ghost Soldiers.

“Sky Ghost Palm.” He pushed his right palm abruptly and slammed it toward Fengwu Cao with the horrible energy of devilish Ghost Soldiers.

The Sky Ghost Palm was an extremely powerful unorthodox self-cultivation technique which could turn into devilish Ghost Soldiers and blacken the air with gloominess and creepy chill.

Boom!

The Phoenix Dance Fist and the Sky Ghost Palm collided with each other with a huge sound, exploding the air into a black vortex with a diameter of half a meter.

Huge energy waves spread outward to the surrounding areas, leaving countless and horrible cracks in the ground.

Even the whole underground building of the Ghost Palace shook violently under the giant shock and a fine crack began to spread in the wall next to the gate.

Deng!

The slim figure of Fengwu Cao was forced back a step while the Sky Ghost Elder held his ground.

“The early-stage True Spirit Realm is indeed powerful.” Fengwu Cao’s pupils contracted.

She had mustered all her strength and still was forced back a step, though it was a much better result than that of Qingfeng Li who had been sent flying by the Sky Ghost Elder.

Of course, Qingfeng Li would not have been sent flying if he had used his last trick the Fire Dragon Fist which could only be used every twelve hours. Since he had used it to kill a family chief of Pacific Island, it was not available to him right now.

Receiving large amounts of vital essence from Xianzhi Qin, Qingfeng Li had recovered his strength and his wounds were almost healed.

But Xianzhi Qin was out of breath with exhaustion since she had transferred all her vital essence into Qingfeng Li.

“Thank you. You rest here while I deal with the Sky Ghost Elder.” Carefully, Qingfeng Li helped her to the side before walking toward his enemy.

He must kill the Sky Ghost Elder in one hour or Ruyan Liu and her baby would die.

“Director Cao, I will fight the old undead together with you.” He walked over to Fengwu Cao.

“Have you recovered from your injuries?”

“Yes. Xianzhi Qin transferred all her vital essence to me.”

“Miss Qin is really good to you. Exhaustion of vital essence is harmful to health.” Glancing at the pale-faced Xianzhi Qin, Fengwu Cao said lightly.

She knew the beautiful young mistress of the Fiery Emperor Palace was a haughty woman and regarded everyone as beneath her.

But she had risked her own health to save Qingfeng Li. It was a great price.

Qingfeng Li nodded and swore in his heart that after killing the Sky Ghost Elder he would make the spirit-level life elixir to save Xianzhi Qin’s father.

“The Sky Ghost Elder is too powerful. I will join you.” Flower Fairy walked from behind.

Actually she could have killed the Sky Ghost Elder with one palm strike if all the sealing stamps in her body had been broken. But right now, she couldn’t break them just like Qingfeng Li couldn’t break the second sealing stamp on the Fire Fiery Sword.

All half-step True Spirit Realm fighters, Qingfeng Li, Fengwu Cao and Flower Fairy surround the Sky Ghost Elder.

The powerful presence emitting from the three fighters was so strong that even the Sky Ghost Elder, a master of early-stage True Spirit Realm felt pressured.

“Strangle Hell Fist.” With a low yell, Qingfeng Li slammed his fist at the Sky Ghost Elder.

“Phenix Dance Fist.” Fengwu Cao punched her right fist which turned into a phenix shadow crashing toward the Sky Ghost Elder.

“Hundred-flower Palm.” Flower Fairy’s slim hand turned into a huge palm with a pattern of peony floating on it. The huge palm slammed toward the Sky Ghost Elder.

The powerful attacks from the three fighters exploded the air and created three giant black holes.

Sensing the powerful combined attacking forces, the Sky Ghost Elder’s face turned very grim. His right fist crashed out abruptly turning into a shadow of devilish Ghost Soldiers and collided with the forces of his three rivals.

Deng deng!!

This time, Qingfeng Li and his two partners stayed where they were while the Sky Ghost Elder was forced back two steps with a pale face.

Though he was in the early-stage of True Spirit Realm and was stronger than each of his rivals, the combined power of three martial artists of super techniques still forced him back.

“Director Cao, Flower Fairy, my woman Ruyan Liu and our baby were planted with the Fierce Ghost curse by the Sky Ghost Elder. We must kill him in one hour or Ruyan Liu and the baby will die. Please do your best and I will owe you a big favor.”

Qingfeng Li knew the two women were both powerful fighters equipped with upper-grade spiritual devices. He needed their help.

Chapter 923: Aid from Dark Night Emperor

 

At Qingfeng Li’s request of help, Fengwu Cao and Flower Fairy understood the urgency of the situation. They had to kill the Sky Ghost Elder within one hour.

Fengwu Cao had heard about the evil Fierce Ghost Curse which could kill women and children.

Swoosh!

She unwound a soft silver sword from around her body. It was a weapon that could change shapes.

The soft sword’s name was Silver Snake Sword and was an upper-grade spiritual device on which engraved a pattern of a silver snake.

The moment it was taken out, the Silver Snake Sword emitted a sharp white sword aura of ten meters long.

At the sight of the Silver Snake Sword, Flower Fairy took out the Lotus Mirror which released a white lotus flower into the sky, the symbol of an upper-grade spiritual device.

The Sky Ghost Elder’s face turned grimmer at the sight of three upper-grade spiritual devices while he, a master of True Spirit Realm, had only one upper-grade spiritual device—the Sky Ghost Saber.

Three upper-grade upper spiritual devices versus one, and the Sky Ghost Elder felt a bit overwhelmed.

“Kill him.” With the Fire Fiery Sword in hand, Qingfeng Li was the first to launch the attack.

Fengwu Cao with her Silver Snake Sword and Flower Fairy with her Lotus Mirror attacked the Sky Ghost Elder from two different directions.

The Sky Ghost Elder hurriedly drew out the Sky Ghost Saber which was four fingers wide and 1.55 meters long. Made with meteorite rock, the whole saber was black emitting a horrible presence of power.

A pattern of Ghost Soldier appeared on the saber, making it look chilling, ghastly and terrifying.

The sky Ghost Saber was an unorthodox upper-grade spiritual device, a natural enemy of orthodox spiritual devices.

“Sky Ghost Saber Techniques.” The Sky Ghost Elder yelled in a loud voice.

The long saber swung in the air and slashed toward his three rivals in a shroud of black mist.

Boom!

Four upper-grade spiritual devices collided with each other with a huge sound shaking the whole underground palace. The giant energy waves spread outward blasting rocks into dust.

All the people around them backed off hurriedly and the slower ones were pushed to the ground by the surge of energy.

“So this is the power of self-cultivators. It’s really amazing.” The members of Family Luo and others watching the battle were all stunned. As ancient Martial Artists, they had thought themselves powerful until today when they witnessed the more powerful self-cultivators.

Deng, deng, deng!!!

This time the Sky Ghost Elder retreated three steps under the powerful combined forces of his three rivals.

But he was only forced back and not injured because he was after all a True Spirit Realm master and could not be hurt by half-step True Spirit Realm fighters.

“Time is ticking away. We must kill him before it’s too late.” Qingfeng Li said anxiously. The battle had lasted for a while and Ruyan Liu couldn’t wait any longer.

They launched another round of attacks at the Sky Ghost Elder and forced him to scramble back in a tangle of black robes.

“Little one, there is only half an hour before the curse took effect. To save Ruyan Liu, you must kill the Sky Ghost Elder now because you will need some time to remove the curse.

Qingfeng Li’s expression changed. He answered with mind transmission, “Senior, the Sky Ghost is a master in the early-stage of True Spirit Realm and is equipped with an upper-grade spiritual device. I can’t kill him.”

“Little one, you forget that you have refined the first Fire Dragon Fist technique which is enough to kill anyone under the level of late-stage True Spirit Realm.”

“Senior, I know I can kill the Sky Ghost Elder with Fire Dragon Fist, but I can only use it every twelve hours and it’s too soon for me to use it now.”

“Little brat, I can make the Fire Dragon Fist available to you one hour earlier. But I will have to fall into a long sleep after that since it exhausts a lot of my spiritual energy.” The Dark Night Emperor transmitted the message.

If it had not been a moment of life and death, the Dark Night Emperor would not have suggested the use of Fire Dragon Fist because the Fire Dragon Fist was extremely exhaustive for the spiritual energy and thus would cause damage to the body.

Qingfeng Li’s spiritual energy could only afford to use it every twelve hours. If he forced it on himself sooner than twelve hours he would damage his brain and could even become mentally disabled.

Without his physical body, the Dark Night Emperor was now a spirit made of spiritual energy. If he helped Qingfeng Li with his spiritual energy, he would fall into another long sleep. And he had chosen to do it for Qingfeng Li.

“Senior, thank you. Even if you fall in a long sleep I promise I will find a way for you to restore your spiritual energy and physical body.” Qingfeng Li made his promise in a determined voice.

He knew that after helping him with the spiritual energy, the Dark Night Emperor would not only fall into a long sleep but get injured, for which Qingfeng Li would owe him a huge favor.

At this moment, the Dark Night Emperor was more than a senior to Qingfeng Li, but an elder family member like his master Wind-Edge Demon King.

“Little brat, I now transfer my spiritual energy to you. Take it.” With a low yell, the Dark Night Emperor released a flash of blue light containing huge spiritual energy which rushed into the depth of Qingfeng Li’s mind.

Then the spirit of the Dark Night Emperor dimmed quickly before closing his eyes and falling into sleep in the Fire Fiery Sword without a trace of life.

Qingfeng Li glanced at him gratefully, determined not to disappoint him.

Abruptly, Qingfeng Li’s spiritual energy surged up as if in a flooding. He infused it into the golden light ball and awakened the fire dragon in it. The golden dragon gradually grew distinct while a flood of overwhelming power surged from the light ball.

“Director Cao, Flower Fairy, please back off. I will explode the Sky Ghost Elder with one fist strike.” Qingfeng Li told the two women.

Both of them looked baffled but retreated from the battle since they trusted him.

Chapter 924: Beating Sky Ghost Elder’s Ass

 

“HaHaHa~ You want to beat me with one punch? How funny,” the Sky Ghost Elder looked up and laughed loudly with disdain. He thought that Qingfeng Li was bragging.

The Sky Ghost Elder was an early stage master in the True Spirit Realm and was very powerful. One punch from earlier was enough to send Qingfeng flying, but now, Qingfeng Li said he could beat him down with only one punch. That was so funny.

Facing the disdain from the Sky Ghost Elder, Qingfeng Li sneered and explain anymore. He started to accumulate the vital essence in his body. He wanted to try his best to beat the Sky Ghost Elder and get revenge for Ruyan Liu.

“Fire Dragon Fist,” Qingfeng Li yelled. With the help of the Dark Night Emperor, he could use the Fire Dragon easily.

Qingfeng Li swung his right first violently. A golden ball shined in his mind and projected powerful beams of golden light. The golden light coalesced into a Golden Dragon shadow, converged with the vital essence and emitted enormous energy.

In an instant, the whole underground palace was shaking due to the Golden Dragon shadow. The Ghost King Palace was vile and gloomy. The Golden Dragon shadow was born from the hatred of that palace and had a holy, cleansing aura.

That terrible punch changed the facial expression of the Sky Ghost Elder and a dash of horror appeared in his eyes. This punch contained raging energies and the breath of destruction. He began to fear it from the depths of his soul.

“Sky Ghost Blade Technique!” The Sky Ghost Elder yelled. He tried to hold the fear in his heart and wielded his blade against the Golden Dragon shadow.

The Sky Ghost Blade cut through the air and drew a huge crack in the air with a huge exploding noise. That enormous energy seemed to split up everything.

There was anger in the eyes of the Golden Dragon shadow. This stupid human, who practiced the unorthodox techniques, wants to use that blade to beat me? He is just courting death.

The Golden Dragon shadow turned into a massive fist with enormous blazing energy. The blaze of an extremely high temperature was rushing at the Sky Ghost Elder with invincible power.

Crack!

The upper-grade spiritual device, the Sky Ghost Blade, broke immediately after being hit by the punch of the Golden Dragon shadow of the Fire Dragon Fist. Then the knife disintegrated into thousands of pieces, melting and disappearing.

After destroying the Sky Ghost Blade, the Golden Dragon shadow covered the Sky Ghost Elder with an enormous blaze of energy.

Ah…

The Sky Ghost Elder gave a screech before the Dragon burnt his body to ash.

It was easy to see by naked eyes, the fingers of The Sky Ghost Elder burning by the fire and disappeared. Then, the palm disappeared, the wrist disappeared, and the arm disappeared.

The intense pain made the face of the Sky Ghost Elder pale. He kept screeching and wanted to use his vital essence to put out the blaze but the blaze was too powerful. He couldn’t put it out.

The only thing the Sky Ghost Elder could do was to watch the Fire Dragon blaze burning out his arm, and his chest, neck, skull.

The Sky Ghost Elder was burnt to death. In this process, he couldn’t stop screeching. At the end, his body was turned into a heap of ashes.

The Sky Ghost Elder – dead.

Everyone changed their facial expression and was shocked by this scene. They knew how powerful The Sky Ghost Elder was, but no one expected that the Sky Ghost Elder was burnt to death.

Not to mention the ordinary people, even the face of Flower Fairy was full of shock. She could feel how powerful the Fire Dragon Fist was, and even herself could not defend against it.

Even though Qingfeng Li killed The Sky Ghost Elder, his face was pale and the body was lopping. He almost felt down. His Spiritual energy was empty as he used up all his physical strength.

“Qingfeng Li, this is the Phoenix Essence pill. Take it,” Fengwu Cao took out a red pill on her slim hands and passed on to Qingfeng Li.

Phoenix Essence pill?

Qingfeng Li was shocked. As recorded in Alchemy Arts of Pill King, Phoenix Essence pill was the pill in spirit level. Only the Self-cultivator could refine it and only Self-cultivator could take it. The ordinary Ancient Martial Artist didn’t’ have it.

Can’t believe that Fengwu Cao had spirit level item Phoenix Essence pill. She must have some relationship with the self-cultivators.

No matter what relationship Fengwu Cao had with Self-culticator, it was not important. The most important thing was, Fengwu gave the Phoenix Essence pill to Qingfeng Li. That shocked Qingfeng Li.

“Don’t waste time. Take the pill and recover your vital essence, You still need to save Ruyan and your baby,” Fengwu Cao smiled and said.

As the director of Huaxia Special Security Bureau, Fengwu Cao knew the relationship between Qingfeng Li and Ruyan Liu since Qingfeng Li was also a member of the Special Security Bureau.

“Thank a lot. You saved my life,” Qingfeng Li took a deep look at Fengwu Cao and said gratefully.

Qingfeng Li knew how valuable the Phoenix Essence pill was. It worth more than hundred million dollars. But that was not the most important thing. The most important thing for him now was time. Qingfeng Li needed to recover his vital essence immediately to save Ruyan Liu.

The Phoenix Essence pill gave Qingfeng Li a chance, a chance to save Ruyan Liu. That was why Fengwu Cao not only saved his life but also Ruyan Liu’s life.

Phoenix Essence pill was a red pill, and the color was totally different from other pills. It only a thumb size and there was red light shining at the surface. There was enormous vital essence emitted from the inside of the pill.

Qingfeng Li opened his mouth and put the Phoenix Essence pill in his mouth. Once he ate the pill, the pill turned into a powerful energy. That energy contained the scent of fire style phoenix vital Essence pill. It replenished Qingfeng Li’s Spiritual energy and vital essence.

That Phoenix Essence pill deserved to be the pill in spirit level. It was so powerful. Qingfeng Li praised. He completely recovered once he ate the pill.

Qingfeng Li didn’t want to waste any more time. He ran into the third room in the Ghost King Palace. Ruyan Liu was lying on the bed in that room.

The look on Qingfeng Li’s face changed once he arrived at the room. The face of Ruyan Liu was pitch dark. Not only her face, but her whole body was pitch dark. That color was a curse of the evil spirit ghost. A cold evil spirit accumulated inside Ruyan Liu’s tummy.

“Master, how to relieve this curse of the evil spirit?” Qingfeng Li asked Dark Night Emperor.

Dark Night Emperor did not answer him because he already fell asleep.

Qingfeng Li didn’t hear any sound from the Dark Night Emperor, but suddenly remembered that the Dark Night Emperor had already fallen asleep since he spent all his Spiritual energy to help Qingfeng Li to use the Fire Dragon Fist.

Qingfeng Li was depressed. Deep in his heart, Dark Night Emperor knew everything. There wasn’t anything he didn’t know and wasn’t anything he could not solve.

But now, Dark Night Emperor fell asleep and could not help Qingfeng Li. He felt like he was a blind grasshopper and didn’t know what to do because he knew nothing about the curse of the evil spirit.

By the time Fengwu Cao and Flower Fairy walked in, the look on their faces changed when they saw Ruyan Liu’s body was pitch dark.
