Chapter 530: 314 Feng Qing’an, you really deserve to die!
The Ghost King, who had lost one of its three heads and two of its six arms, and had three of its seven eyes blinded, was terrified. Looking at the human cultivator in front of him who resembled a child, he began to advocate surrender. It no longer wanted to fight.
Their monarch had already ordered that even if they captured the human alive, they were not allowed to touch him. If they dared to touch him, they would be killed.
Without any benefits, why risk heavy injury or even death to capture him? All they needed to do was convince him to cooperate, and the result would be the same.
“Ghostly nonsense!”
Tao Baibai, a true disciple of Three Saints Village who still hadn’t grown his facial hair, sneered, completely ignoring the ghost creature’s words. Although his magical power had been severely depleted and there were several wounds on his body that had been infected and wilted by Yin Qi, he had no intention of surrendering.
If he was defeated in a fair contest of ideas and fighting methods with his peers, he could admit defeat gracefully. He had that much dignity and spirit.
But it was a different story here in the underworld, where he was besieged by a Ghost King of a higher realm and over a dozen ghost creatures of equal realm to him. They didn’t manage to defeat him for half a day, yet they hoped for his surrender. That was wishful thinking. These ghost creatures were not even worthy! Even if he died in battle here, he would never surrender.
“Stubborn to the bone!”
Seeing that his sincere advice was rebuked, the Ghost King became furious. His eyes turned crimson, potentially pushing him into a rage.
He was indeed stuck between a rock and a hard place. He didn’t want to fight, but with the king’s command, how could he defy it?
If they were invading other ghost nations, he could find excuses to delay, as the king couldn’t monitor them at all times. But now they were in the palace, and perhaps the king of Ghost Nation was watching them. Even if he lost half his life, he would have to fulfill the king’s command.
“Call your king’s consort to convince us, or else we will never surrender!”
Xin Fu, a true pupil of the Floating Life Realm, who was also tied up in a fight with a spider-bodied female Ghost King, said suddenly, taking a step back and indicating that he was willing to surrender, but with stipulations.
“King’s Consort?”
The female Ghost King, who was doing her utmost but still couldn’t catch the human, was stunned by these words, and then she was furious.
“Wishful thinking! If you don’t surrender, die!”
“It’s you who are going to die, do you really think I have no other options!”
Xin Fu, who had already tried once to break through the spider web blockade but failed, crazily decided to remove all pretense of being a profligate son of a rich family.
His previous proposal was already the lowest he could tolerate. If the demands were any lower, he would rather die.
Worse comes to worst, he would wait until his master ascended and used powerful Divine Power to retrieve his True Spirit from the Soul River. Of course, this was based on the premise that his master could ascend – hopefully his master could become a dragon!
“Supreme Table Star, adapt without cease…”
Having ascertained that he had no chance of escape, Xin Fu took out a yellow talisman. It was a very ordinary-looking talisman without any brilliant Divine Light or Immortal Qi. The cinnabar ink on it also looked ordinary.
But the moment this yellow talisman appeared in his hand, the spider-bodied female Ghost King, who was still entangled with him, recoiled as if shocked by electricity. She then looked at the Taoism true disciple, who was showing signs of madness, with a wary and panicked expression.
“Everyone, this is the Symbols of Dao Extinction I’ve collected for a long time but dreaded to use. When I use it, you should seize the opportunity to escape. If any of you manage to achieve great Dao in the future, don’t forget to retrieve me.”
His own master might not be reliable, but the several fellow Daoists on the scene were all among the elite. If they could survive this calamity, they would surely rise above others and become Immortals in the future without any difficulty.
“I, too, have been saving a Purple Heavenly Divine Thunder talisman!”
Tao Baibai of the Three Saints Village was equally resolute.
“Coincidentally, when I was leaving my sect, my master gave me a treasure bottle that seals the Nanming Separation Fire.”
Jin Wuying, who had suffered the most serious injuries and was the most embarrassed, also gave up hope of escaping and took out a treasured bottle made of carved green jade.
“Stop!”
Just as these Taoism true disciples were preparing to give their all, bringing out their trump cards, and striking hard to create a chance for their peers to escape, a somewhat anxious and delicate voice rang out.
Regardless of whether it was the numerous Ghost Kings pulling back ready to flee at any moment, the remaining ghost soldiers, or the Taoism true disciples who had made their final preparations, they all looked up toward the source of the voice.
Instantly, they saw a young girl with snow-white skin, painted brows and eyes, cascading black hair, slender figure, pure as ice, and as beautiful as a dream. She was wearing a purple court dress and was approaching from afar.
However, the moment they saw this girl’s face, all the ghost creatures present, including the numerous Ghost Kings, showed a respectful expression. The five young talents, who had already met her in Donghuang, showed a surprised expression.
