"Oh?" Alex raised an eyebrow, saying with deep interest.

"You threaten me so openly, and you think I will give you an opportunity for revenge next time?"

"Heh, even if you don’t give it, you have to!" The Nether Earth Ghost King narrowed his eyes, his figure gradually becoming ethereal and illusory.

"Don’t even think about escaping!" Alex narrowed his eyes and shouted sternly.

"Rakshasa Soul-Catching Net!"

Purple light spewed out from inside the Rakshasa Demon Umbrella, transforming into a large net that grabbed toward the Nether Earth Ghost King’s body.

However, the Nether Earth Ghost King’s body directly transformed into seething black mist, permeating right through the gaps of the net, fundamentally failing to restrict his movements in the slightest.

"Tsk, escaped quite fast." Alex smiled helplessly.

"However, since we are in someone else’s territory, there’s nothing to be done about it."

The reason the Nether Earth Ghost King could become one of the Four Kings of the Hundred Ghost Mountain Range wasn’t just because of his formidable cultivation. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

He had rested here for thousands of years, and his aura had already merged into one with the mountain range.

If he were truly slain today, it would cause a massive impact on the Hundred Ghost Mountain Range.

Not only would the North High Peak collapse, but the tens of thousands of malicious ghosts within the mountain would also suffer severe setbacks. Correspondingly, when encountering danger, he could use his aura to teleport anywhere within the mountain range at will.

"Right, these few troubles haven’t been resolved yet." Alex narrowed his eyes, turning around to deal with those five immortal Giant Demons.

But upon turning his head, he noticed in bewilderment that Pearl and the Four-Phased Demonic Wolf were just standing there.

Having consumed too much spiritual energy, they were currently panting heavily to recover their strength while looking at him eagerly.

As for the five Giant Demons who were so arrogant and invincible just moments ago, their burly bodies had directly turned into white powder and scattered with the wind.

Like dandelions in a cold breeze, they were entirely wiped out and vanished into nothingness in the blink of an eye.

"What is going on here?" Alex frowned slightly. He teleported forward and pinched a bit of the white powder with his fingertips.

"Is this paper?"

He had thought this white powder should be something like bone ash. But touching it with his hand, he discovered the texture was more similar to paper confetti that had been crushed into very fine pieces.

Clearly, just moments ago, no matter what methods he used, he couldn’t kill these five Giant Demons.

As a result, after the Nether Earth Ghost King fled heavily injured, they turned to ash and smoke right along with him.

What kind of technique was this Nether Earth Soul Chase exactly?

Alex couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. "The divine abilities of Ghost Race experts are truly bizarre, unpredictable, and unfathomable. A mighty dragon cannot suppress the local snake. Within the territory of the Hundred Ghost Mountain Range, that old guy indeed held all the advantages."

Saying this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, forming a meaningful, teasing smile.

"But you, little brat, are no local snake."

With that said, Alex didn’t even turn his head, simply waving his hand and tossing out a streak of spiritual energy.

The earthquake caused by the Rakshasa Soul Break just now had snapped the bone claws binding Knox, causing him to fall from the cavern roof to the ground.

Taking advantage of Alex going after the Nether Earth Ghost King, Knox had ignored his pain and tiptoed, wanting to secretly run away.

But these little movements were naturally all seen by Alex.

This sharp streak of spiritual energy snapped a rock on the cavern roof. The sharp rock fell from the sky, brushing right past the tip of Knox’s nose and piercing deeply into the ground, nearly stabbing straight through the crown of his skull.

Knox gasped in a breath of cold air and collapsed to the ground with a thud, his face full of panic and terror.

Alex, with his hands behind his back, unhurriedly walked right in front of him. Looking down from above, he said faintly.

"Knox, you little brat truly are a lingering ghost that refuses to scatter, aren’t you?"

"Last time in the Azure Dragon Valley, you intended to expose my identity and have the Divine Blade Sect surround and kill me. That debt hasn’t even been settled yet, but I didn’t expect to add new grievances today."

"Saint Lord Alex..." Facing the approach of Alex, whose face wore a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, Knox was as terrified as if he had seen a ghost, his entire body trembling violently non-stop.

He had just witnessed with his own eyes how Alex completely and thoroughly beat the Nether Earth Ghost King into a crushing defeat.

When facing the Nether Earth Ghost King, that terrifyingly formidable strength had made Knox feel despair.

Yet such a terrifying Nether Earth Ghost King, in front of Alex, was beaten to the point of not having the slightest power to fight back.

If the Ghost King hadn’t possessed the geographical advantage, he would have had to die here today.

Knox had caused trouble for so long, constantly pondering various methods to take revenge on Alex.

Today, for the first time, he truly and tangibly felt exactly how exaggerated the gap between himself and Alex really was.

"Aya possesses the Vault of Divine Sword Heart on her body. With your meager abilities, you fundamentally couldn’t do anything to her." Alex looked down at Knox.

"Speak, what despicable methods did you use to ambush Aya? Confess honestly, and I may spare your life today."

"Truly?" Knox instantly revealed a look of joy. He hurriedly raised his hand, showing off the butterfly tattoo on his wrist.

"I used this to knock out Aya and bring her here!"

"A few days ago at the foot of Sunblaze Peak, I accidentally encountered a strange woman named Petra, who called herself some Outer Realm Demoness."
