"Everyone, be careful!"

Li Yunjing frowned, stood in front of Fu Chao and Lin Wan’Er, and shortly thereafter, hundreds of fierce ghosts floated out from within the passage.

"Hmph!"

Li Yunjing’s hand shook, and the "Yin Yang Treasure Mirror" was already in his grasp. With a shine from the black light on its back, the dark glow erupted, exterminating hundreds of fierce ghosts in an instant.

"There are fierce ghosts ahead! Let’s rush through!" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Li Yunjing reminded.

"Alright!"

Fu Chao, not to be outdone, activated his Treasure Flying Sword, which shot out a "Samadhi True Fire" Fire Dragon, turning many fierce ghosts into ashes.

Li Yunjing charged forward, Fu Chao assisted by the side, Lin Wan’Er covered the rear. The three of them charged ahead, continuously slaughtering the fierce ghosts, rendering them incapable of forming a battle array.

"The aura of the living! Such rich blood! I want to eat you all..."

And just when Li Yunjing and his companions were advancing, a sinister and sharp laughter echoed from an intersection.

Li Yunjing listened and his mind trembled, looking towards the depths of the fierce ghost swarm and indeed, a gigantic Ghost King appeared amidst the army of fierce ghosts!

This Ghost King’s body was a full three zhang tall, its skin a sickly grey-white, seemingly soaked in the aura of death, emitting a decaying stench.

On its face, there were no features, only a massive crack from the forehead to the chin, filled with sharp fangs.

Each fang glittered with cold light.

This Ghost King had no eyes; instead, two burning ghostly green flames occupied the space, exuding endless evil.

The Ghost King’s head bore a pair of curved horns, covered with sinister patterns, seeming to have been carved by the laments of countless vengeful spirits.

Its body was covered with thick black scales; the Ghost King’s arms were extraordinarily robust, fingers as sharp as blades, with dark red blood dripping from the tips.

"How disgusting!"

At the sight of the Ghost King’s hideous face, Lin Wan’Er turned pale with fright, involuntarily exclaiming.

"Damn! Really ugly and smelly!"

Even Fu Chao couldn’t help but curse, quickly sealing off his sense of smell.

The stench of this Ghost King was indeed repulsive to living creatures.

Even Li Yunjing was not faring much better.

He wondered if this Ghost King hadn’t bathed in ten thousand years; its foul stench was worse than a dry latrine!

At this moment, Li Yunjing felt helpless.

Sharp senses do have their downsides!

Like now, his nose was extremely uncomfortable, almost immediately following Fu Chao in sealing off his own sense of smell!

"What is your background, Ghost King? Why are you here?"

Li Yunjing pinched his nose and asked.

At this moment, he resisted the urge to kill the Ghost King immediately, wanting to inquire in case he could extract any useful information from it.

"Brat! Your ghostly grandpa was a formidable cultivator alive, cultivating for thousands of years after death to become a Ghost King! I’ve seen plenty of cunning kids in my past lives. Do you think you can extract any words from me?"

This Ghost King seemed exceedingly cunning, instantly seeing through Li Yunjing’s intentions.

The Ghost King stood on a pitch-black shadow that seemed alive, constantly writhing, devouring the surrounding light.

With each step it took, the ground cracked open, black fog surged from the crevices, within which countless twisted faces could be seen, struggling as if they wished to escape but were bound by an invisible force, ultimately becoming part of the Ghost King’s power.

Here, under the Ghost King’s control, it was like a purgatory.

"So, you won’t say anything before you’re thoroughly dead?"

Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow, showing his dissatisfaction.

Outside, cultivators from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and the "Primordial Yang Dao Sect" were converging here. Li Yunjing didn’t have time to waste words with this Ghost King!

Since it was unwilling to say more, Li Yunjing prepared to take it down directly!

"Wait! Brat! We can cooperate! As long as you’re willing, I’ll give you countless benefits! Spirit Stones, Magical Treasures, Divine Skill Secret Manuals, you name it!"

The faceless face of the Ghost King seemed to flash with a cunning look.

"Leave this Ghost King to me! Fu Chao, handle the other fierce ghosts!"

Li Yunjing had no intention of wasting words, secretly transmitting instructions.

"Understood!"

Fu Chao nodded.

"Just you, a dead ghost, dare to negotiate with me?"

On seeing that the Ghost King was not a good kind, Li Yunjing abandoned the thought of negotiation. His figure swiftly plunged into the army of fierce ghosts, heading towards the deeper Ghost King.

Li Yunjing fought with great delight, diving into the midst of the ghosts. Various Divine Techniques were wielded skillfully and with precision, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, repeatedly capturing and killing hundreds of fierce ghosts.

The densely packed fierce ghost army collapsed upon encountering Li Yunjing, unable to resist!

Having suppressed thousands of fierce ghosts, Li Yunjing plowed through the ghost army, swinging the "Yin Yang Five Elements Celestial Derivation Sword" at the Ghost King to launch a strike of "Five Elements Divine Thunder"!

"Boom!"

As Li Yunjing’s cultivation level increased, the power of his "Five Elements Divine Thunder" grew immensely. As the strike cleaved out, a colorful Thunder Ball exploded amidst the fierce ghosts.

"Not good! It’s Thunder Skill!"

The Ghost King felt the explosion of the Thunder Ball, and in the eyes of the ghostly fires, the pupils suddenly spun, unexpectedly producing a patch of green ghost fire, shielding the explosion of the "Five Elements Divine Thunder" outside the ghost fire.

At the same time, black beams emerged from the Ghost King’s body, persistently shooting towards Li Yunjing!

This unexpectedly made Li Yunjing feel like he was encountering an attack akin to the "Yin Yang Treasure Mirror’s" Death Ray!

Evidently, this Ghost King’s mode of attack also carried the Death Law, capable of erasing the lifespan of living beings!
