First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 173: War Ghost King

Shen Mo had no intention of standing on a moral high ground to criticize the predecessors who caused such drastic changes!

In a sense.

He also enjoyed their "legacy".

The cultivation world of the Chi Yan Kingdom remained cruel and bloody, but compared to becoming a ghost country on the ground, it was still a hundred or even a thousand times better.

That being said, Shen Mo would not obediently offer his neck to be slaughtered!

The Tian Shun Kingdom had turned into a realm of evil spirits, where countless people either died tragically or became ghosts... Shen Mo was only slightly involved in this immense blood feud.

He insisted on being serious!

Since he came to the Tian Shun Kingdom, he had done his best to kill many fierce ghosts and save many mortals.

Even if there was a slight karmic involvement, it had long been repaid.

The Ghost King of Heaven's Abandonment hated him and wanted to kill him, but from a karmic perspective, it simply didn't hold water!

It was just that after turning into a fierce ghost, it harbored deep resentment in its heart.

It was just finding a scapegoat to vent its anger.

Shen Mo did not directly express these thoughts to the Ghost King of Heaven's Abandonment.

After all, it was a ghost.

A ghost that could speak, different from ordinary ghosts.

To rely on words to dispel its malice was like talking in a dream!

After expressing its grievances, the malicious gaze of the Ghost King of Heaven's Abandonment fell on Shen Mo again.

"I promise you a high position as my minister!"

As if giving an imperial decree.

In an instant.

The "civil and military officials" beside it, accompanied by dark clouds, surged towards Shen Mo.

Ghosts filled the sky, and the howling sound was extremely miserable.

Shen Mo had long been prepared. The Ten Fierce Soul Generals, such as the Bride Ghost and Hong Jue, as well as seventy Second Stage Mid-Rank Soul Generals, all moved upon hearing the order.

"Boom!"

Like two armies facing each other, the terrifying dark clouds collided with the blood-red light that covered the sky.

Ghosts and soul generals fought fiercely.

Both sides were fearless of life and death, and the scene was extremely bloody and brutal.

Seeing that the soul generals barely held back the fierce ghosts, Shen Mo's face showed worry instead of joy. The spiritual power in his body was flowing away like a flood.

Originally, it was fine to just summon the soul generals and consume spiritual power.

But once they started fighting, the consumption of spiritual power by the Soul Refining Banner was astonishing.

In this situation, I'm afraid that in just a few breaths, the spiritual power in Shen Mo's body would be exhausted.

He couldn't afford to delay.

While the soul generals were entangled with the ghosts around the Ghost King of Heaven's Abandonment, Shen Mo waved his sleeve and set up the Big Dipper Seven Star Sword Formation, instantly enveloping the Ghost King of Heaven's Abandonment.

"Hmph! Overestimating your abilities."

In addition to its cold and indifferent voice, the Ghost King of Heaven's Abandonment also carried a hint of mockery.

Without any movement, a trace of golden ghost energy surged out of its body.

It directly rushed towards the sword formation, making a clanging sound, showing signs of collapse.

"Clang!"

A dazzling sword light slashed out.

Shen Mo did not use the Dragon Sparrow Sword, but instead used the Profound Grade Lower Rank Fire-attribute Flying Sword.

In addition to the inherent fiery nature of the sword qi, he also attached the Netherworld Fire to the sword qi, using the strongest sword move of the "Supreme Pure Sword Technique".

This was the most powerful method Shen Mo could think of to target the weakness of the Ghost King of Heaven's Abandonment.

Unfortunately, he was not a fire spirit body, nor had he cultivated any fire-attribute immortal techniques.

Otherwise, this move would have added some power!

"Splurt!"

Just as [Seeing Through All Beings] deduced.

The Ghost King of Heaven's Abandonment had no resistance to the Flame Divine Ability!

The incredibly powerful ghost energy was easily cut through by this sword qi, as if it were tofu.

Then.

The full power of this move, ninety percent of its power, struck the Ghost King of Heaven's Abandonment.

Leaving a hideous sword mark on its body.

But, that was all!

"You bastard! I will exterminate your entire clan!"

The Ghost King of Heaven's Abandonment was furious.

A large amount of golden ghost energy surged out from its body, constantly healing the sword mark.

This injury was nothing to it.

However, it was unacceptable for it to be discovered and injured by a mere Qi-gathering cultivator.

Seeing the meticulously prepared methods, Shen Mo was not surprised that he couldn't heavily damage the Ghost King.

The difference in cultivation level was too great!

Even though he knew that this Ghost King had a weak resistance to the Flame Divine Ability.

Unless his cultivation level reached the late Qi-gathering stage and he practiced several powerful fire-based immortal techniques, he might have a slight chance of winning.

"Crack!"

"Boom!"

The Big Dipper Sword Formation was forcibly broken through, and the seven small swords screamed as they flew back.

Shen Mo swept his sleeve.

Collecting the Yao Guang, Tian Ji, and other sword embryos into his sleeve.

At the same time, stepping on the Dragon Sparrow Sword, he rushed towards the sky.

He wanted to escape!

While using spiritual power to activate the flying sword under his feet.

While silently reciting the incantation and shaking the Soul Refining Banner.

All the souls that had not "died in battle" in the ghost tide were collected by him.

Except for the Ghost Bride, Hong Jue, Qing Pi, and Chuan Jin, who were summoned out of the banner again and guarded by his side.

He did not summon the other souls.

There was no other reason, the consumption of spiritual power was too astonishing!

Just to buy some time to fight against the Ghost King, these mid-late stage second-order souls consumed nearly 70% of his spiritual power.

In this way.

Summoning so many souls before advancing to the mid-stage of Qi-gathering could only serve as a trump card.

As for now, he still had to summon the Ghost Bride and the other four souls.

It was completely to guard against the Divine Ability of the Ghost King.

[Insight into All Beings], the heavenly mandate, was very clear.

Under the heavens, there is no king but the king of the land.

As long as he was within the territory of the Ghost King, as long as he had the thought, he could arrive at any location.

Shen Mo could only get rid of most of the ghosts by relying on the speed of his sword.

But he couldn't get rid of the Ghost King at all!

What he was thinking was just to separate the Ghost King from its "civil and military officials".

With only the Ghost King, he could rely on the blessing of the Netherfire and the Firebird Talisman to hold on for a while.

"Swoosh!"

A strange spatial fluctuation.

The Ghost King silently appeared beside Shen Mo.

Its sturdy ghost claws just reached out towards Shen Mo, but Chuan Jin, who was summoned out of the banner, threw itself at it.

The result was self-evident.

Jin Shan was torn apart in the blink of an eye and returned to the Soul Refining Banner to condense its soul body.

As for Shen Mo.

Taking advantage of the fact that the attack of the Ghost King was ineffective, he continued to flee.

Before entering the Ghost Gate Secret Realm, he had fought with General Zhang Tai'an of the Ghost Army.

He was very cautious about this type of Divine Ability.

The Ghost King was a third-order early-stage ghost.

Its strength might not be as good as the future Ghost General, but its ability to appear and disappear was no less inferior.

After flying for more than a hundred miles, the souls beside Shen Mo were blown up three or four times in succession.

"Supreme Pure Sword Art."

"Netherfire."

"Slash!"

The pale flames attached to the sword energy slashed towards the Ghost King.

"Swoosh!"

The figure of the Ghost King disappeared silently once again.

Seeing this, Shen Mo changed direction and continued to flee.

"Where can you escape to?"

"Stay here and become my subject."

A majestic and indifferent voice entered Shen Mo's ears.

He activated the Flawless Eye.

He found that within a radius of a hundred miles, the large and small ghosts had formed a net, continuously tightening the net mouth.

Shen Mo remained silent.

The only response to the Ghost King was the cold and sharp sword light!
