Chapter 162: Helping
Li Sheng looked at He Yan, who was knocked down with just one move, and his heart sank.
This Ghost King is so powerful. He didn’t even see a trace of the opponent’s figure with the speed just now. It seemed as if he disappeared in an instant.
But he knew that it was only an illusion caused by the Ghost King’s speed being too fast.
He Yan coughed and got up.
He displayed a flame barrier to protect himself, then said to Li Sheng, “Since we can’t escape, let’s kill it together!”
“That’s what I’m thinking too.”
Li Sheng stood with his sword. Although the Ghost King was formidable, there were still opportunities to win this battle.
Seeing the killing intent on them, the Ghost King remained expressionless.
With a bang, its figure appeared in front of Li Sheng, and its fist struck towards him, carrying a powerful force.
Li Sheng was already prepared and cast a talisman. A golden shield appeared on his body.
The fist struck the shield, and cracks instantly appeared on the surface, gradually spreading.
Seeing this, He Yan waved the fire dragon and attacked the Ghost King.
The massive fire dragon was scorching hot, but the Ghost King was unfazed. Without waiting for the shield to burst, it struck again.
Li Sheng’s long sword also rose, slashing towards the Ghost King.”But the speed of the Ghost King was even faster, breaking through the shield directly. Its fist remained powerful and headed towards Li Sheng’s head.
If he’s hit, he’ll definitely be heavily injured.
At the critical moment, Li Sheng once again threw a talisman, his figure disappearing and reappearing ten steps away.
The Ghost King only struck the air. By this time, the Fire Dragon had also arrived, its raging flames about to burn the Ghost King. However, it swiftly escaped with its speed.
The Ghost King didn’t distance itself from the two, but instead charged directly at Li Sheng.
Before Li Sheng could steady himself, the Ghost King was already in front of him, punching once more.
This time, Li Sheng once again used a shield talisman, but the Ghost King’s strength was greater than before. The shield shattered like a mirror in an instant, and the fist hit him solidly on the head.
“Bang!”
Li Sheng was instantly sent flying, blood flowing from his nose.
And the Ghost King had no intention of giving him a moment’s respite, chasing after him again and throwing a punch, venting his anger.
Seeing this, He Yan inwardly thought it was bad. If Li Sheng died, he would ultimately die at the hands of the Ghost King as well.
No longer hesitating, he began to execute his ultimate move.
“Crimson Flame Triple Heaven!”
A flame appeared in his hand, rapidly extending towards the Ghost King.
The Ghost King’s attack was interrupted, and it looked down along the fiery line towards He Yan.
The next second, it was engulfed by the flames, completely disappearing from sight.
This move could bring the opponent into an enclosed space made entirely of flames. It was vast and huge inside, making it impossible to discern directions, and it would cause burning from the flames for a short period of time.
Li Sheng managed to survive, landing on the ground, blood flowing from his face.
He Yan arrived beside him and said in a deep voice, “If we keep going like this, we’ll die. You don’t need to hold back!”
Li Sheng wiped away the blood from his nose and looked at him with a sinister expression. “I don’t need you to teach me. I know how to fight!”
A surge of anger rose in He Yan’s heart. He had helped him salvage his life, but Li Sheng still acted so arrogantly, completely ignorant of life and death.
In the distance, the trio of Fang Ping’an, who were squatting in a corner watching, were somewhat surprised to see the Ghost King disappear.
But soon, the Ghost King reappeared, and He Yan’s expression became extremely ugly. Clearly, he didn’t know why his tactic had been deciphered so quickly.The ghost king rushed towards them, launching continuous attacks.
General Lu’s expression turned solemn. “This ghost king is indeed very powerful.”
Bai Muqing nodded. “Do you want to test his strength, senior brother?”
“…,” General Lu didn’t expect Bai Muqing to be so nonchalant about sacrificing himself. He didn’t want to send him to his death.
Fang Ping’an furrowed his brows on the side. Although the ghost king was formidable, He Yan and Li Sheng were not ordinary either. They had various means to counter the attacks.
At this rate, there might be a chance for the two of them to escape.
“No, I must go and help,” Fang Ping’an said, standing up, but he was pulled back by General Lu.
“Fang Xiong, who are you going to help?” General Lu asked.
Fang Ping’an calmly replied, “Of course, I’m helping the ghost king.”
Ignoring General Lu’s tug, his eyes flickered as he walked closer to the three fighting in the field.
Li Sheng and He Yan struggled to survive under the ghost king’s attacks, utilizing various methods.
They noticed that the ghost king was incredibly fast with powerful punches, a formidable physical cultivator. Whenever they tried to restrain it, it would easily break free within seconds, rendering their attempts futile.
“Bang!”
A heavy punch landed on He Yan’s chest, causing him to fly backward and spit out some blood.
The ghost king wanted to continue pursuing, but Li Sheng obstructed it.
Li Sheng threw numerous attack talismans, but the ghost king easily dodged them. Even when a few managed to hit, it felt like tickles to the ghost king.
“Cleave the mountain!”
Li Sheng forcefully swung his sword at the ghost king, exuding an incredibly sharp aura.
The ghost king swiftly evaded, disappearing from the original spot in the blink of an eye. However, the sword qi seemed to be able to track it, and it felt locked on.
Since that was the case, the ghost king stopped moving. Its skin instantly turned black, and when the sword qi struck, only faint white marks were left behind.Li Sheng’s face showed a shocked expression as the Ghost King charged towards him again.
He quickly threw out attack talismans, hoping to stop the Ghost King’s figure.
But at this moment, the Ghost King suddenly disappeared.
“What’s going on?”
Just as Li Sheng was puzzled and looking around, he felt a life-threatening crisis and someone attacking him.
Before he could react, his head was violently struck, blood splattering, his mind shaking, and his body flew out.
In mid-air, he was stomped heavily upon hitting the ground, followed by a barrage of attacks, fists constantly pounding his head.
Not far away, He Yan coughed as he climbed up from the ground, and as he raised his eyes, he saw that both the Ghost King and Li Sheng had completely disappeared from the field.
Just as he felt puzzled, the figure of the Ghost King appeared.
He Yan’s face changed dramatically when he looked over.
He saw Li Sheng’s bloody figure appear beneath its feet, his head shattered into pieces, with brain matter oozing out, clearly dead!
“How is this possible!”
He was perfectly fine just a moment ago, but in less than a few seconds, why did Li Sheng die, and he didn’t see the scene of the two fighting at all?
The Ghost King showed no mercy and charged forward.
He Yan felt a hint of fear in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface, using flames to block the Ghost King’s steps.
But suddenly, the Ghost King’s figure disappeared.
He felt a tremor in his heart, a sense of foreboding, and hastily unleashed all his flames, forming a massive flame space around him for protection.
The temperature of these flames could instantly melt Qi-refining cultivators, and even Foundation Establishment cultivators wouldn’t last more than a few seconds.
Still, He Yan didn’t sense where the Ghost King was. Perhaps the opponent hadn’t entered the flame space.
Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
He Yan’s face contorted in fear as he tried to execute his ultimate move.
But the Ghost King didn’t give him a chance. Its fist struck his head violently, followed by a relentless onslaught.
Eventually, the flames scattered in all directions.
He Yan lay on the ground, his chest mangled, his face frozen in an expression of horror, devoid of breath.At this point, the battle came to an end, and both powerful revenants were killed by the Ghost King.
However, the Ghost King was not unscathed either. Its body was covered in charred marks, and its armor had turned dark.
It looked at the two corpses in silence.
“Mae and Yin Snake, I have avenged you…”
