First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 152: Green-Skinned Ghost

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh!"

"Clang!"

Several sword lights burst forth.

A giant ghost with a green face, towering ten zhang tall, appeared with terrifying wounds all over its body.

After a thunderous roar, it unwillingly crashed to the ground.

A majestic ghostly aura, like black smoke, surged out from its body, forming a cloud of ghostly aura resembling dark clouds in a short period of time.

"Damn green-skinned fierce ghost, it's so difficult to kill with its tough skin and thick flesh!"

Jiang Yingying, a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, was somewhat annoyed. She vented her frustration by fiercely slashing the gradually dissolving ghostly body of the green-skinned ghost.

The ghostly aura gushed out for a long time before completely dissipating.

On the ground, only a hideous and ugly green ghost skin remained, as well as a crystal-clear soul the size of a baby's fist.

After Shen Mo and his group decided to go to the Ghost Gate, they hurried towards the depths of the Ghost Country ruins.

All six of them came from the five major immortal sects.

Even Shen Mo, who had the lowest cultivation level, was at the Second Stage of Qi Gathering. Jiang Yingying, with the highest cultivation level, was at the Sixth Stage of Qi Gathering.

Such a team could be considered a formidable small group in the Ghost Country ruins.

Even late-stage Qi Gathering cultivators would not dare to provoke them unless they came from prestigious sects.

As a result, they saved themselves a lot of trouble along the way.

However, inside the Ghost Country ruins, there were more strange ghosts than treasure-hunting cultivators like locusts.

The deeper they went, the more there were!

Even though Shen Mo and the others were not weak, they encountered extremely dangerous situations several times as they ventured deeper into the ruins.

A large number of starving ghosts, drowned ghosts, and hanged ghosts gathered together, covering the sky.

Just like a real tidal wave, sweeping through.

Once engulfed by it, even Spirit Sea Realm experts would probably die with regret!

Shen Mo and his group had no choice but to flee.

There were also powerful ghosts with Divine Abilities that were even more bizarre than the Ghost Bride. They silently possessed the bodies of two disciples from the Heavenly Sword Sect, Li Yu and Peng Chen Shu.

One of them was at the Fourth Stage of Qi Gathering, and the other was at the Fifth Stage of Qi Gathering.

In terms of cultivation level alone, they far surpassed Shen Mo.

However, they had not comprehended their own sword intent, making them the weak points of this temporary team.

After being possessed by the powerful ghosts, their personalities changed drastically, and they directly attacked Shen Mo and the others.

In the end, Shen Mo trapped the two of them with the Big Dipper Seven Stars Sword Formation, and Jiang Yingying used the Heavenly Sword Sect's "Heart Sword Cleansing Demon" secret technique to cut off the possessed ghosts.

But from start to finish, they didn't get a clear look at what the possessed ghosts looked like, whether it was one or two!

Shen Mo used his Heavenly Fate [Gaze Like a Torch] and vaguely saw two ghost shadows when the possessed ghosts left their bodies.

When he took out the Soul Refining Banner to refine these two ghosts, they seemed to sense the danger and disappeared in an instant!

Not long after, Shen Mo and the others ran into a group of scattered cultivators fighting each other not far away.

Without much thought, they knew that it was the mischief caused by those two possessed ghosts!

Just like the previous time, as soon as Shen Mo summoned the Soul Refining Banner, the two ghost shadows disappeared without a trace. Shen Mo was so angry that he cursed on the spot.

If it weren't for promising Chen Mengze to go to the Ghost Gate, he would have to pursue them and not rest until he refined those two ghosts into soul generals on the banner!

...

As for the green-skinned fierce ghost that they had just killed with their combined efforts, it was not provoked by Shen Mo and the others.

It was a few disciples from other immortal sects who had trespassed into a forbidden area and attracted the pursuit of the green-skinned ghost.

At this stage, the information recorded on the map jade slip was no longer complete.

Hundreds of miles in all directions, there are vast unknown territories.

It is normal to accidentally enter dangerous and forbidden areas.

But those disciples from the Black Ming Mountain were too immoral. Unable to get rid of the Green Skin Fierce Ghost, they directly caused trouble by leading it to Shen Mo and the others.

Even Geng Zheng wouldn't show mercy to cultivators like them.

The result was that they died under the anger of Shen Mo and his group before the Green Skin Fierce Ghost.

Dealing with the Green Skin Fierce Ghost afterwards was not so easy.

All six of them had extraordinary methods, especially the disciples from the Tianjian Sect who practiced extremely sharp swordsmanship. The sharp sword energy they unleashed was mostly neutralized by the Green Skin Ghost's strange and tough skin.

The scene was reminiscent of a mortal wielding a sword to hack at the thick-skinned and tough-fleshed rhinoceros demon!

After a difficult battle, they finally managed to wear it down.

"What a pity. If we could refine this Green Skin Ghost into a soul servant, it would definitely be a top-notch meat shield."

Shen Mo felt a bit regretful.

Since the Soul Refining Banner had already been exposed, he no longer needed to hide it.

He boldly started using the Soul Refining Banner to refine ghosts that caught his eye into soul servants.

Of course, he wouldn't use hundreds of little demons. Releasing so many would also frighten Chen Mengze and the others.

In total, the Soul Refining Banner gained hundreds of soul servants.

Unfortunately, their quality was disappointing.

Most of them were ordinary ghosts such as starving ghosts, drowned ghosts, and hanging ghosts, but they were relatively superior and powerful among ordinary ghosts.

Not a single soul servant of the quality of a bride ghost was found.

So when they encountered ghosts that could possess humans, he couldn't help but drool.

Not to mention the Green Skin Ghost with astonishing defense!

However, he tried several times, and every time the blood light emitted by the Soul Refining Banner was torn apart by the Green Skin Ghost.

Even during its last two breaths before dying.

Until it fell to the ground, the Soul Refining Banner had achieved nothing!

Shen Mo attributed this to the Green Skin Ghost's inherent characteristics.

Its strength remained at its peak until death, and the Soul Refining Banner needed its target to be completely defenseless in order to refine it into a soul servant.

"The strange green skin left behind by the Green Skin Ghost, as well as its soul, how should we distribute them?" Tianjian Sect disciple Peng Chen Shu spoke up.

Shen Mo's heart stirred.

The Green Skin Ghost was so difficult to deal with mainly because of this strange green skin on its body.

It could be imagined that whether it was refining armor or protective artifacts, this green skin was excellent raw material.

The Green Skin Ghost's body was originally ten zhang tall.

But as it weakened, the green skin it left behind also shrank to the size of a person.

There was no way to evenly divide it!

"How about we bid with other cultivation resources? Whoever obtains the green skin and soul will compensate others with the spirit stones and materials they bring out," Shen Mo proposed his idea.

For him, bidding was the most suitable option.

Otherwise, whether it was based on cultivation level or the number of people, he and Chen Mengze wouldn't gain any advantage.

Jiang Yingying sought the opinions of Geng Zheng and the other three, then nodded and agreed to this distribution plan.

No matter who obtained the green skin, the others would still receive a considerable income.

"I offer five hundred low-grade spirit stones and a Profound Grade middle-grade flying sword." The first to speak was Geng Zheng.

Previously, he had been trapped by Shen Mo's sword formation, and his clothes had become tattered.

As a result, he had the idea of refining a top-grade robe.

"Not bad, Geng Junior Brother. You even have a Profound Grade middle-grade sword. The Geng Clan values you a lot."

Li Yu from the Tianjian Sect teased him and then directly gave up on this bidding.
