Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 235 - 149: Ghost Sand Strangulation, A Familiar Face Again!

Chapter 235: Chapter 149: Ghost Sand Strangulation, A Familiar Face Again!

"I didn’t expect that of all the places, in the Langya Spirit Realm, the first person I would encounter would be someone from the Celestial Soul Hall."

Looking at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Elder of the Celestial Soul Hall in the valley, Qi Chuan smiled slightly, then stopped concealing himself and dashed toward the other person.

"Who are you?"

This Celestial Soul Hall Elder at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, named Mu Xuan, was also an outstanding figure within the same stage. He had just been collecting Tier Two Middle Grade Spirit Grass among some boulders when he suddenly heard a commotion behind him and quickly turned around to look.

He saw a person wearing the robes of a Wind Moon Sect Elder suddenly appear, dashing toward him, looking at him with calm eyes.

"Someone from the Wind Moon Sect? Is it that powerful cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage?"

Mu Xuan’s expression changed dramatically the moment he saw Qi Chuan.

As someone from the Celestial Soul Hall, he had memorized everyone aboard the Wind Moon Sect’s flying ship before entering the Langya Spirit Realm.

Right now, Qi Chuan was indeed a powerful cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage from that time!

"Run!"

Without hesitation, Mu Xuan turned around and transformed into a streak of Escape Light, dashing off in the opposite direction.

Although he considered his strength not weak and could basically contend with any Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, he wasn’t arrogant enough to think he could deal with a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator.

In the Foundation Establishment Stage, every minor breakthrough brought about a massive surge in liquid magical power, which was like a chasm of difference.

Moreover, the opponent possibly possessed many High Tier Artifact Talismans, which weren’t something he could handle.

"Trying to escape?"

Seeing the opponent flee without a fight, Qi Chuan sneered and also transformed into a streak of Escape Light to pursue.

In terms of speed, Qi Chuan was a whole realm higher and had a stronger magical power foundation, so he was naturally much faster. Thus, the two streaks of Escape Light were getting closer and closer.

Seeing the distance about right, Qi Chuan patted his waist, and a Black Banner appeared in his hand, shaking in the void.

Whoosh!

Instantly, thick black fog surged from the Black Banner. Within the black fog, the cries of ghosts wailed, and gruesome Evil Ghosts rushed out, following the black fog, pouncing at Mu Xuan in the distance.

Even more terrifying, at the forefront of these Evil Ghosts was a Fierce Ghost with a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage strength, eyes glowing with bloodlust, menacingly fast.

Its speed was incredible, and in an instant, it was about to catch up with Mu Xuan ahead.

"What?"

Feeling the disturbance behind him, Mu Xuan turned his head to look, and his face turned livid.

"Damn it, there’s actually a Fierce Ghost with Foundation Establishment Middle Stage strength?"

Just dealing with this Fierce Ghost alone was enough to give him a hard time.

Moreover, the opponent still had the strength of a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator with unknown means yet to be revealed.

Is there really no escape for me today?

But although he thought so in his heart, Mu Xuan still patted his waist, and a white streak rose into the air, within which a slender snake shadow could be vaguely seen, accompanied by a faint hissing sound.

The white streak briefly solidified, then dashed forward, directly charging at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Fierce Ghost not far away, and once near, engaged in a fierce battle.

Yet a trace of worry emerged on Mu Xuan’s face.

This white streak was actually a Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact of his, named the White Spirit Snake Spear, with considerable power. Hence, it could entangle the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Fierce Ghost, but at the same time, his own mana was being heavily consumed.

Originally, his mana was far inferior to the opponent’s. He was using a spiritual artifact that consumed his own mana, while the opponent’s Fierce Ghost only relied on its own mana.

Dragging it out would be disadvantageous for him.

Furthermore, this White Spirit Snake Spear was one of his prided methods, yet the opponent’s Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Fierce Ghost could merely be one of the opponent’s ordinary methods.

"I must find a way to escape quickly!"

Clenching his teeth, Mu Xuan then made a difficult decision.

With a ruthless heart, he suddenly formed a seal with his hand.

"Explode!" he shouted inwardly.

Boom!

The next moment, the white streak entangled with the Fierce Ghost suddenly trembled, then exploded, with a violent shockwave radiating outward, primarily impacting the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Fierce Ghost.

But after detonating the White Spirit Snake Spear, Mu Xuan had no interest in observing the aftermath and turned to maneuver the Escape Light to flee.

"So decisive?"

Seeing this scene, Qi Chuan was slightly surprised.

However, he had long anticipated low-tier cultivators facing high-tier cultivators habitually liked to use the ’hidden torque’ technique and had been on guard for it.

So, as soon as the ruthless look appeared in Mu Xuan’s eyes and his hand formed a seal, Qi Chuan had already swung the Ghost Luo Banner, recalled the black fog and Fierce Ghost, and these actions, hidden under the effects of the spiritual artifact’s self-detonation, went unnoticed as the opponent dared not look and fled directly.

After recalling the black fog and Fierce Ghost, Qi Chuan, holding the Ghost Luo Banner, continued dashing as Escape Light, pursuing Mu Xuan.

In the process, a faint layer of Sword Gang surfaced on his body, shattering any shockwave from the self-detonation of the spiritual artifact that attacked him, keeping him unharmed.

Thus, the distance between Qi Chuan and Mu Xuan kept closing.

"Should be better now, right?"

Fleeing at his fastest pace for a while, Mu Xuan looked back to check the results of his spiritual artifact’s self-detonation and Qi Chuan’s location.

But it wasn’t important until he looked, and then he was shocked—Qi Chuan was actually not far behind him, even closer than before!

"What’s going on? The spiritual artifact’s self-detonation had no effect at all?"

Mu Xuan’s eyes were filled with disbelief.

But regardless of how puzzled he was, Qi Chuan had already decided not to give him a chance. He saw Qi Chuan wave the Ghost Luo Banner again, and immediately the black fog and Fierce Ghost reappeared, rushing at Mu Xuan to tear him apart.
