Chapter 53: Chapter 53 Annihilating the Evil Ghost
The White Ghost Emperor, after evolving into a Second-Order Low-grade Evil Ghost, became much stronger than even Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu originally wanted to use those Fierce Ghost Relics to enhance his Divine Sense, which would increase his chances of successfully reaching Foundation Establishment.
Zhao Yu patted Ling Qianxue's fragrant shoulder and said warmly, "Go back first! I will go in and then come back safely. With the strength of two Foundation Establishment cultivators, even if we cannot defeat that evil ghost, we will still be able to return unharmed. Take care of yourself and be safety aware!"
"You must come back safely, if you do, I'll agree to anything you say!"
Ling Qianxue bit her silver tooth, a blush spread across her pretty face as she hugged Zhao Yu, kissed him on the cheek, and then let go.
Zhao Yu smiled slightly and pointed a finger, "Go scout ahead!"
The White Ghost Emperor flew straight into the ghost fog.
After the White Ghost Emperor entered the ghost fog, Zhao Yu sensed the absence of any battle fluctuations and only then did he step into the fog.
As soon as Zhao Yu entered the ghost fog, his vision blurred and he saw a royal mansion as if no battle had ever taken place, the surroundings not enveloped by the ghost fog, and even the White Ghost Emperor standing next to him was invisible.
"What a powerful Illusion Technique! This evil ghost is truly terrifying! Luckily I have the White Ghost Emperor!"
Zhao Yu's mind stirred, he chanted the Curse Script, executed a secret technique, and after a single breath, he acquired the ghostly vision of the White Ghost Emperor.
Spiritual Ghosts are the kings of evil ghosts, and only a few types of ghost creatures can contend with them. The evil ghost sealed by the Wang family was just a Second-Order ghost creature, and its illusions were not enough to deceive the ghostly vision of the White Ghost Emperor.
Through the sight of the White Ghost Emperor's ghostly eyes, Zhao Yu saw a mansion littered with corpses. Several cultivators were racing in circles nearby, wastefully exhausting their physical strength and mana.
"The ghost fog is rising from that direction! The evil ghost should be over there!"
Zhao Yu executed the Phantom Step Technique and flew towards the direction from where the ghost fog was ascending.
The White Ghost Emperor, like a specter, drifted by Zhao Yu's side.
"Let me test your abilities!"
Curiosity flickered in Zhao Yu's eyes as he activated a Superior Grade Featherweight Talisman and executed the Phantom Step Technique, moving silently and swiftly like a ghost.
Upon seeing the White Ghost Emperor, Su Bingyun felt ripples in her heart and thought, "Ghost Control Technique? A Second-Order evil ghost? He must have acquired the inheritance of the Yin Ghost Sect!"
After being partially torn apart by a claw of the White Ghost Emperor, the nine-foot evil ghost let out a scream and its pupils locked onto Zhao Yu, mysterious runes appearing within them.
Zhao Yu's vision blurred, and suddenly he saw the nine-foot evil ghost launching a frenzied attack on Su Bingyun.
"Save me! Save me!"
As Su Bingyun activated the Fire Crow Mirror, a massive Fire Crow encircled her, desperately fending off the nine-foot evil ghost's assault while calling out for help.
A surge of impulsiveness rose in Zhao Yu's heart, wanting to channel his mana and use the Flying Dagger Technique to kill the nine-foot evil ghost.
"No, this is an illusion! Such a terrifying Illusion Technique. Even though I was on guard, the feeling is too real; it's hard to tell what's true and what's false!"
Zhao Yu's heart grew cold, and he executed a secret technique, borrowing the power of the White Ghost Emperor's eyes. His pupils suddenly radiated a faint ghostly light, allowing him to see the true situation.
The nine-foot evil ghost had been suppressed by the White Ghost Emperor, and during the moment it cast its illusion, the White Ghost Emperor, with its massive, gaping maw revealing razor-sharp teeth, bit into the body of the nine-foot evil ghost.
The nine-foot evil ghost let out a scream, and part of its body was swallowed by the White Ghost Emperor. It hammered its claw fiercely into the sorrowful White Ghost Emperor, but got stuck in its body, and then was torn into shreds and swallowed by the White Ghost Emperor.
A burning intensity flashed in Zhao Yu's eyes: "So this is the Spiritual Ghost, the king of a hundred ghosts! So strong! This is completely beyond my expectations! It is still only a low-grade Spiritual Ghost, but as it advances to mid-grade, high-grade, or even the legendary supreme grade, it will become even more powerful!"
Zhao Yu had originally planned to sneak into the mansion with the White Ghost Emperor and rescue Su Bingyun, but had not expected the newly advanced Second-Order White Ghost Emperor to be so fierce.
That was also why the disciple from the Yin Ghost Sect had gone to great lengths to raise the White Ghost Emperor to a low-grade Spiritual Ghost before performing the Human-Ghost Pact Secret Technique.
Before long, the nine-foot evil ghost was torn to pieces and swallowed by the White Ghost Emperor.
The Ghost Fog enveloping the entire mansion began to slowly dissipate.
"Zhao Yu, you have saved me once again! Thank you!"
After swallowing a Healing Elixir, Su Bingyun struggled to her feet, looking at Zhao Yu with a hint of complexity in her eyes. She did not expect her fellow disciple and friend to abandon her and, instead, that Zhao Yu would risk his life to come to her rescue.
Under the effects of the Healing Elixir and the robust physique of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Su Bingyun's wounds began to heal at a pace visible to the naked eye.
