Chapter 71: Vengeful Spirits and Malevolent Ghosts

  Third watch, confirmed tomorrow's new book list, last shout, dear, collect it for me?

  ……

  Embracing the moon on the mountain waist.

  Moku Kui, who had originally planned to slip away unnoticed, caught sight of the battle in mid-air and was unable to move his feet.

  Chen Yao, his senior... is actually this formidable?

  His eyes gleamed with a strange light, the Black Ape King possessed a physique tempered by the Purple Mansion's four stars, and had already reached the Purple Mansion boundary a thousand years ago. His cultivation was incredibly powerful, which was also the fundamental reason why he could become one of the seven great demon kings.

  However, at this moment, the Black Ape King was being tightly suppressed by Chen Xiao!

  "Chen Tai was clearly just promoted to the Purple Mansion realm a few months ago!" Mu Kui muttered excitedly, already at a loss for words to express his current excitement.

  Hehehe...

  Chen Xiao's figure was as swift as the wind, extremely agile, and the Gengjin sword in his hand was so fast that it was impossible to see its trajectory with the naked eye. It left a trail of blood-colored sword marks on the body of the Black Ape King, like wave after wave of surging water.

  At this moment, Chen Xiao seemed to have returned to the time when he was bitterly practicing his skills in front of that sea of bamboo. Under Ji Yu's repeated "no", he gritted his teeth and practiced again and again, each time exhausting every last bit of strength before stopping, all for the sake of darting back and forth through the bamboo forest within ten breaths, within a hundred miles.

  He didn't touch the bamboo leaves or the bamboo pole, and the harsh requirements made him seem so carefree as he dodged the black gibbon king's long stick, just like strolling in a garden, floating like the wind.

  And his swordsmanship, under this life-and-death struggle, was tempered bit by bit, and the sword's momentum, imbued with the intent of the wind, became increasingly fierce and faster...

  "Seasoned veteran Ji Yu was right, the strength of the Purple Mansion realm doesn't necessarily have to be divided by cultivation level... Martial arts cultivation is also a crucial part of it..." A thread of understanding surged in his mind, Chen Xiao's actual combat standards had also risen with the tide.

  The Black Ape King felt extremely stifled, no matter how he swung his iron club, he couldn't hit Chen Tai, not even touching the hem of his clothes. Instead, he was cut by Chen Tai's sword, leaving him with bloody wounds, although they quickly healed, but he could only desperately protect his vital parts, this passive and beaten situation made him extremely angry!

  "Damn it! Damn it! It's really damn it!"

  The Black Ape King fell into a frenzied state, his body suddenly swelling to three times its original height, with black fur bursting forth from his skin, and massive muscles bulging out like rocks, his eyes turned red, and his fangs protruded.

  The black gibbon king who had transformed back into his beast form, a violent and tyrannical aura burst forth from all over his body, accompanied by an overwhelming surge of dark energy that spread out in all directions.

  Splash!

  The iron rod in the hands of the Black Ape King suddenly burst forth with endless blood light, thick and bloody, as if countless vengeful spirits and malevolent ghosts were struggling within. As soon as it appeared in mid-air, the ferocious and violent aura caused all the demons present to feel a chill in their hearts.

  "The great king was enraged, how many years had it been? This was the first time I saw him transform back into a beast, the first time he wielded the Blood Shadow Scepter in his hand!"

  "That human kid is detestable, only knowing how to hide. If the great king doesn't use his trump card again, that kid will think he's scared of him!"

  "Haha, that kid is done for!"

  The crowd of great demons saw the Black Ape King use his full strength, and their worries were swept away, and they shouted again.

  "When this old ape falls into a furious rage, its strength increases by at least 30%, and the Blood Shadow Scepter in its hand is forged from the vengeful spirits of dead beasts. Even if this kid's sword intent is formidable, his cultivation is still no match for the old ape's; it's likely he won't be able to withstand it."

  Lei Ying Wang stroked his chin, pondering to himself, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Tai's performance far exceeded his expectations. The Gangjin sword in his hand, as well as the profound realm of swordsmanship and body techniques, made him feel apprehensive.

  Lei Ying Wang Xue Yu is a golden-feathered iron eagle who has transformed into a human form, with a natural talent for speed and a hint of electric power within his body. Although his strength surpasses Chen Tai's by a large margin, if they were to fight, except for speed where he can rival Chen Tai, in all other aspects he is almost completely restrained by Chen Tai.

  Cast Thunder Magic?

  Chen Xiao had the Gengjin Sword Bamboo in his hand, which was naturally fearless of thunder and lightning. Moreover, if used cleverly, it could even absorb thunder and lightning!

  However, Xue Yu had lived for thousands of years and also had many ultimate techniques in his hands. If he really fought, he would not be afraid of Chen Xiao.

  "Die!"

  Just as Xue Yu's thoughts were flying, the Black Ape King Yuan Tong swung his iron rod, and a boundless bloody light burst out, like a surging river of blood, roaring and raging towards Chen Tai to devour him.

  Waaahhhh...

  Accompanied by the eerie and piercing wails, the surrounding sky and earth turned dark and gloomy. One after another, visible ferocious vengeful spirits flew out, these vengeful spirits were all powerful demonic beasts that had been tortured to death, their bodies originally containing terrifying resentment. Later, in the Blood Slashing Mystic Staff, they were refined for a thousand years, their vengeful spirits having become as solid as reality, extremely frightening. Those with weak mental fortitude would likely have their souls snatched away instantly.

  "Roar!"

  "Kill!"

  Innumerable vengeful spirits and malevolent ghosts let out mournful howls, surging towards Chen Xi like a sky-covering and earth-enclosing tidal wave.

  "Pffft!"

  Yuan Tong, who had completely fallen into a state of madness, spat out a mouthful of vital energy onto the Blood Shadow Scepter in his hand. Stimulated by this, even more vengeful spirits surged out, almost covering the sky and earth!

  "Haha, now let's see how you dodge!"

  He spat out a mouthful of blood, still holding the dark magic staff in his hand, causing Yuan Tong's face to turn whiter than ever. However, looking at Chen Tai being surrounded by vengeful spirits, he couldn't help but let out a loud and crazy laugh.

  This guy's vicious methods are really something else; just how many demonic beasts did he have to kill in order to absorb so many vengeful spirits?

  Chen Xiao looked at the densely packed vengeful spirits rushing over like a tidal wave, and his expression changed slightly. Vengeful spirits were formless entities, and ordinary means could not stop them at all.

  What's wrong?

  Hiss!

  Just as Chen Quan's expression became increasingly solemn, a flash of lightning suddenly appeared on the hilt of his sword, directly beheading a vengeful spirit that was approaching him, and it disintegrated into nothingness!

  That's right!

  Lei Ting was born to be the nemesis of all evil spirits, and this three-foot-long Gengjin sword in his hand had survived numerous lightning strikes without being destroyed. It inherently contained the power of thunder that could destroy everything, so why worry about not being able to subdue these filthy things?

  Chen Xiao's eyes lit up, and true yuan poured into the Gengjin sword. With a swishing sound, the sword light was like a raging wave rolling in with the tide. Tens of thousands of sword shadows were already transformed into heavy sword marks splashing out between the lightning and flint. The sword momentum was majestic and unrestrained, moving horizontally and vertically, like tens of thousands of giant waves overlapping and intersecting, shaking the heavens and earth.

  The Great Evolution Wind and Sword's Frenzied Gale Like a Tide!

  Hehehe...

  A wave of fiery, crackling sounds rose and fell in succession, as Chen Xiao's body was enveloped by a myriad of sword lights. Each sword light that shot out had a brilliant, dazzling lightning arc bursting forth from its edge, and wherever it passed, the vengeful spirits were torn apart and incinerated before they could even react.

  "What's going on? How could this be?"

  Yuan Tong's smile froze, immediately replaced by a look of shock and anger. The vengeful spirits inside the Blood Shadow Staff were his trump card, unbeatable! But when he saw Chen Tai annihilating batch after batch of vengeful spirits with ease, like chopping vegetables, he couldn't believe his eyes.

  "It can't be, these vengeful spirits were personally tormented to death by me and then nurtured with evil energy for nearly a thousand years. They have long been unafraid of all kinds of weapons and treasures, how could they become so weak?"

  Yuan Tong's face twisted and changed unpredictably, he still couldn't believe it.

  Just at this time ——

  Silently, a flash of sword light, like a lightning bolt, seemed to tear through the void, suddenly arriving, its speed so fast that it was already in front of Yuan Tong's face before he could even react.

  No!

  Yuan Tong felt an endless sense of regret in his heart, but it was already too late to dodge, and he was directly pierced by the sword light between his eyebrows, creating a bloody hole.

  Refining the body to the realm of Zi Fu, although it is possible to regrow a severed arm, but if the skull is shattered and the vital parts are damaged, death is inevitable.

  Splash!

  Another flash of sword light passed by, and Yuan Tong's head was also cut off, falling into a long and powerful palm.

  At this moment, all crows and sparrows have fallen silent!

  All the big and small monsters stared blankly at the headless corpse falling from mid-air, as if they had seen a nightmare that was completely beyond their expectations, and their minds were in a state of shock and confusion!
