Chapter 258: 51 Keep Something in Reserve _2
With a grit of his teeth, he summoned two more Yin Ghosts, which were obviously stronger than the previous five!
“I didn’t want to bully a weakling like you, but you’ve really angered me!”
“You’re gonna feel my rage!”
Having summoned two Yin Ghosts, the square-faced cultivator was brimming with confidence and proclaimed arrogantly.
Where the hell did this idiot come from, talking such nonsense…
Wang Ba was at a loss for words.
But to avoid his enemy’s suspicion, he intentionally withdrew the light enveloping him, making himself appear unstable and fragile.
Upon seeing this, the square-faced cultivator revealed the expected composed countenance.
Right at that moment.
“Help me! Elder Wang, please help me!”
A frail voice suddenly echoed nearby, crying for rescue from Wang Ba.
Wang Ba probed with his spiritual sense and saw an elderly cultivator with white hair ducking and dodging pitifully.
It was indeed the old cultivator who had attempted to coax Wang Ba into exchanging his task with Yue Xiang of Secret Dao, believing that he knew nothing.
Thinking about how he could have fallen into that old cultivator’s trap if he hadn’t known better…
He coldly darted a glance at the squirming cultivator before deliberately retreating further out again.
Quickly, under the huge axe magic tool of a one-eyed cultivator, the old man was cleaved in half without a chance!
On the brink of death, his eyes filled with hatred – and also… profound regret as he stared at Wang Ba!
If only he knew… If only he didn’t…
Splat!
The gray-haired head was crushed by a foot of the one-eyed cultivator.
Whoosh!
Before the one-eyed cultivator could take pleasure in his victory, a minuscule wound suddenly appeared between his brows.
His corpse soon collapsed with a thud!
The surrounded Wang Ba with seven Yin Ghosts hastily withdrew the Iris Invisible Needle.
His eyes remained serene.
He had turned a blind eye out of a personal grudge, but who killed his subordinates also had to pay the price.
His actions further infuriated the square-faced cultivator, who bit his tongue until it bled and then spuriously sprayed it on the Yin Ghosts!
In an instant, a cold wind gusted by, and the faces of the seven humanoid Yin Ghosts swiftly transformed into a frightful bluefaced fanged specter!
Wang Ba immediately sensed the swift disintegration of the light on his talismans!
A flash of sharp light glinted in his eyes.
He could not feign it anymore, for these seven Yin Ghosts had begun to pose a significant threat to him.
Just as he was about to act, a shocking soul fluctuation suddenly emerged from a distance!
It was followed by Zhu Ziji’s horrified shriek:
“You were holding back!”
“Hahaha, how would you rustic commoners comprehend the intricacies of my Yin’s lineage!”
Li Canghai burst out laughing.
Wang Ba quickly looked over, to see that a faint silhouette of a faceless statue had risen over Li Canghai’s body!
The vague silhouette presented a familiar form.
It was none other than the statue from the temple in the Yin’s Government of his Spiritual Government!
The statue remained still and resolute.
Yet, Zhu Ziji, who previously held the upper hand, became completely stupefied the moment his eyes took in the form of the statue!
Though his eyes quickly regained clarity, the brief lull was enough for the situation to take a turn!
Li Canghai, a battle-hardened veteran with countless experiences, could never let such an opportunity pass by. With the full strength of his Soul Power, he brought down his Class III ‘Purple Blooming Mace’ directly onto Zhu Ziji’s head!
Zhu Ziji, though he had regained his senses in the dire situation, could hardly evade the attack of a Class Ill Magic Tool. Even though he managed to escape at a remarkable speed, he still let out a scream of pain as one of his arms instantly vaporized into a bloody mist!
However, he successfully escaped amidst this chaos.
He then transformed into a streak of crimson light and fled towards the distance without uttering a word!
All these drastic changes happened in the twinkling of an eye, so rapidly that every cultivator present whether from Incense Fire Dao or Tianmen Cult, did not even have time to react.
Even the experienced veterans were left astonished by the spectacle!
After all, who could have anticipated that Zhu Ziji, who was on par with Li Canghai just a moment ago, had been beaten into retreat within such a short span?
These men proved that their survival skills were indeed top-notch, sensing danger, they instantly unleashed all their techniques, broke free from their enemies, and scurried into the depths of the dense woods in all directions!
With Zhu Ziji’s departure, Li Canghai was left without restraint. The shadow of the faceless statue on his body quickly dissipated and a trace of profound exhaustion emerged on his face.
Apparently, this move was also quite taxing for him.
However, when he saw Tianmen Cult’s cultivators scurrying around, a cold smirk appeared on his face.
“Thinking of running away?”
With a sweep of his hand.
Immediately, an Incense-burning Dao Cultivator who managed to break free caught up with a Tianmen Cult cultivator in yellow.
However, this yellow-clad cultivator, who had now fully unleashed his abilities, easily repelled him.
Seeing this, Li Canghai’s Soul Power surged, and an invisible Yin Ghost manifested from his body, striking the fleeing yellow-clad cultivator from behind!
That person’s mana abruptly stalled, a strained expression rose to his face, and in a blink of an eye, his flesh began to shrivel.
A trace of regret flashed in his eyes, but it was immediately replaced by a resolute look.
“If I can’t escape, neither can you!”
He roared angrily, pulling out a thick stack of talismans from his Storage Bag and flinging them at a Tianmen Cult cultivator wearing a red-and-black robe who had just passed him.
At this moment, even Li Canghai was stunned.
Bang!
The ignited talismans caused the Tianmen Cultivator who had just overtaken the yellow-robed cultivator to lose control of his mana. The Incense-burning Dao Cultivators behind him seized this opportunity to pour dozens of mana attacks onto him.
Until death, the Tianmen Cultivator’s eyes were filled with confusion.
Wasn’t he trying to take us all down with him? Why the hell did he explode me?
Meanwhile, the yellow-robed cultivator watched as his fellow cultivator was blown to dust, leaving not even bone fragments behind. His shriveled eyes flashed with pleasure!
Swiftly, his shriveled flesh was consumed by the Yin Ghost
And within the blink of an eye, two Tianmen Cult Foundation Establishment cultivators perished on the spot!
On Wang Ba’s side, a cultivator with a square face saw the change in the distance. He turned around, his gaze full of mockery and pity as he looked at Wang Ba:
“Tsk tsk, your backup is gone, how can you fight me? You might as well surrender and join my Yin’s Government… I, I fuck!”
The square-faced cultivator’s eyes were suddenly filled with an unprecedented shock and fear!
Whoosh!
Dozens of spells converged on Wang Ba’s body at an astonishing speed, then poured down like a river, continuously striking him!
The square-faced cultivator’s not-so-weak defensive tool only managed to hold on for a breath before it completely shattered!
In the next breath, fire, ice waves, stone, sharp blades, wooden spikes… Dew, Iris Invisible Needles, instantly overwhelmed him!
In an instant, the square-faced cultivator didn’t even have time to react, he was directly turned to ashes!
And the storage ring that fell from his body was quickly collected by Wang Ba.
Fast!
Too fast!
Incredibly fast!
This change was even quicker than when Zhu Ziji escaped previously!
By the time the Class II Incense-burning Dao Cultivator reacted, Wang Ba had already taken out a Class II upper-grade flying tool!
“Humph!”
A cold snort suddenly echoed!
At this moment, Li Canghai demonstrated his excellent reaction speed. Before anyone else could react, he took a large stride and charged forward!
At the same time, a Yin Ghost also howled and pounced towards Wang Ba!
“Senior!”
Seeing this scene, Hua Meng couldn’t help but tremble in his heart, but he dare not stop. Taking advantage of the fact that all the Incense-burning Dao Foundation Establishment cultivators were focused on their peers, he ran for his life.
The other fleeing Tianmen Cult Foundation Establishment cultivators noticed this scene and were overjoyed in their hearts.
With someone holding off the enemy, their chances of escape increased significantly.
However, sensing Li Canghai’s soaring aura approaching, Wang Ba was also terrified!
The feeling this man gave him was not inferior to the Master Lin he had met in the past. It was even stronger!
The vast Soul Power covered the sky and the earth like countless deities attacking him!
“Die!”
Watching the approaching early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, looking at the overwhelming fear and panic on his face, Li Canghai’s face was filled with killing intent and a fanatical smile as he anticipated killing his enemy.
He enjoyed battles, but even more so, he delighted in the feeling of crushing his enemies effortlessly.
However, at this moment.
Li Canghai’s smile suddenly froze on his face.
Buzz!
A sword light silently flew out of the anonymous cultivator’s sleeve and directly shot towards his brow.
There was no dazzling light, nor was there any startling aura.
Yet at this moment, Li Canghai’s hair stood on end!
All of the Soul Power in his Spiritual Government instantly tensed up!
At this moment, the only thought that flashed through his mind was:
“Damn it! He still has a trick up his sleeve!”
The next second, the sword light silently slashed down at him..
