Chapter 719 - 717: Myriad Ghosts Emerge
Why is Yunxiao able to break common sense.
"Pa!"
Hou Hongfang slapped his own thigh and exclaimed, "No, this isn’t right... this isn’t right at all..."
In his eyes there wasn’t even the scene of Yunxiao fighting Yu Xiu, only the shock that Yunxiao was simultaneously holding a Gold Coin and a Copper Coins.
"How is that possible!"
"Never heard of that before!"
Hou Hongfang pointed at Yunxiao and muttered to himself, "This guy isn’t normal, way too weird."
"What are you mumbling about?" Qu Qing saw Hou Hongfang talking to himself and asked in confusion.
"Old Qu, this guy isn’t normal."
Hou Hongfang pointed excitedly at Yunxiao and said slowly, "He... has two Coins."
"I know, isn’t it just a Gold Coin and a Copper Coins..." Qu Qing’s words stopped halfway as his right hand smacked his thigh hard.
"Holy shit... that’s wrong...
How can he have two different kinds of Coins?"
Qu Qing himself didn’t have Seasonal Coins, but he’d participated in the Seasonal Coins contest before and knew the rules clearly.
A person cannot possess two different kinds of Coins.
It’s like water and fire.
Water and fire don’t mix.
"This guy’s fishy." Qu Qing stared in Yunxiao’s direction and muttered.
His reaction was exactly the same as Hou Hongfang’s.
...
Yunxiao was currently fighting Yu Xiu.
Yu Xiu had his sight, hearing, and smell taken away by Yunxiao.
Yunxiao unleashed Jingming Evil-slaying Swordsmanship, Cyan Cloud Sword hacking straight toward Yu Xiu.
But for some reason, Yu Xiu could still precisely dodge Yunxiao’s attacks.
As if he could still see.
"The power of your Seasonal Coins is really strong, but too bad you ran into me."
Yu Xiu pointed at the entire Spirit Island and said to Yunxiao, "This is the Taishang Ghost-refining Array I set up.
Inside this Array, I don’t need sight, and I don’t need hearing.
This Array itself is my eyes and ears.
Your every move, I can sense through the Array."
You could only say, what a coincidence.
If Yu Xiu hadn’t laid down an Array on Spirit Island, today he might really have fallen into Yunxiao’s hands.
Yu Xiu possessed three Immortal Techniques; just using the first one already made Yunxiao feel pressured.
"If you’ve got no other tricks, today you’ll die here." Yu Xiu said coldly to Yunxiao.
Yunxiao glanced at the center of the lake.
That was where all the Ghosts were sealed.
As long as he released his Ghosts, Yunxiao would definitely win this battle.
Yunxiao once again forced the power of Celestial Monarch Xu’s legacy.
Celestial Monarch Xu’s figure blocked Yu Xiu’s Immortal Techniques.
The next moment, Yunxiao shot toward the center of the lake at top speed.
Yunxiao was going to let the Ghosts out.
This Spirit Island was an Array within an Array.
The Spirit Island itself was the Taishang Ghost-refining Array Yu Xiu laid down.
The lake surface was another sealing Array.
Yunxiao only needed to break the sealing Array.
Yu Xiu immediately sensed Yunxiao’s intent.
"Trying to save the Ghosts?" Yu Xiu’s lips curled into a cold smile.
"Immortal Technique: Constant Slash."
A blood blade appeared out of nowhere and cleaved toward Yunxiao.
Wherever the blood blade swept past, whether trees, rocks, or even mountain peaks, all were cut cleanly in half.
This was an Immortal Technique.
Of course, if Yu Xiu had Immortal Qi, the Immortal Technique’s power would be even greater.
Right now, the Immortal Technique he used was being forcibly cast with his own power.
Seeing the blood-red light rapidly approaching, Yunxiao frowned slightly.
"Immortal Technique: Black Serpent."
Bright Red Immortal Qi gathered and condensed into a Black Snake.
This Bright Red Immortal Qi was Pseudo Immortal Qi; it didn’t belong to Yunxiao—it was power granted to him by the Star Constellation Snake Immortal.
This was a Lower Third-class Immortal Technique, barely enough to block Yu Xiu’s Immortal Technique.
The Black Snake lunged at the blood blade in mid-air, biting down and successfully buying Yunxiao time.
At that moment, Yunxiao finally reached the air above the lake.
The entire lake was like a mirror.
Yunxiao’s tens of thousands of Ghosts were trapped within that mirror.
In the water, Yunxiao saw several familiar figures—Chu Xing, Bing Yu, Hong Ye.
These were all Yunxiao’s Ghosts.
They were the first batch of Ghosts Yunxiao recruited when he first came to the human world.
This group of Ghosts became extremely excited when they saw Yunxiao.
"Master..."
Bing Yu, dressed in a silver-white outfit, roared once, formed Sealing with her hands; terrifying Ghost Qi surged out and rammed at the seal.
At the same time, Chu Xing, Hong Ye, and the other Ghosts all made their moves, trying to break the seal.
The entire Spirit Island shook violently like an earthquake.
Yunxiao swung Cyan Cloud Sword, slashing hard at the lake surface, trying to shatter the seal.
Of course Yu Xiu wouldn’t let Yunxiao succeed.
Yu Xiu casually waved his hand, then rapidly formed Sealing.
His movements were incredibly fast, just like a Fire Hidden Ninja, cycling through more than ten hand seals in a few seconds.
"Taishang Godslayer."
Yu Xiu’s voice fell.
The figure of Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad in the sky moved again.
Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad opened his mouth and blew a breath at Yunxiao.
The terrifying breath fell like a waterfall.
Celestial Monarch Xu’s figure was blasted backward outright by the breath.
Even Celestial Monarch Xu’s legacy couldn’t block this strike for Yunxiao.
The breath smashed into Yunxiao’s chest.
Yunxiao’s body was sent flying horizontally, spitting blood.
As if struck by a huge mountain, Yunxiao felt his internal organs flip over.
At this rate, not only would Yunxiao fail to break the Array, he himself might die here.
Yunxiao glanced at the Gold Coin on his body.
That Gold Coin was dull and lightless.
It didn’t look like it was going to unleash any power at all.
This Gold Coin was really weird; Yunxiao had no idea how to use it.
Helpless, Yunxiao could only forcibly push Celestial Monarch Xu’s legacy power.
The figure of Celestial Monarch Xu behind Yunxiao vanished in an instant.
A lightning-shaped mark appeared between Yunxiao’s brows.
This was the second type of power in Celestial Monarch Xu’s legacy.
It was a power Yunxiao hadn’t mastered yet; with the situation critical, he could only grit his teeth through the backlash and force this move out.
Yunxiao stepped forward; this wasn’t a normal step, it was the Star-treading Combat Step, connecting to the power of heaven and the stars.
By forcing this move, Yunxiao was bound to suffer backlash, but right now he couldn’t care about that anymore.
In an instant Yunxiao felt all five senses become crystal clear.
An unknown power poured down from the sky.
This move was clearly the pinnacle of Immortal Techniques.
Yunxiao swung his sword.
It was different from his sword swings before.
This sword carried the power of the stars, annihilating everything.
It directly shattered Yu Xiu’s Immortal Technique.
Yu Xiu clenched his teeth, glaring deathly at Yunxiao.
"So this is the foundation of a great sect?"
Right now Yunxiao hadn’t fully mastered Celestial Monarch Xu’s legacy, yet he was already showing transcendent power.
Yu Xiu simply couldn’t stop him; he could only watch Yunxiao break the sealing Array on the lake.
The longsword in Yunxiao’s hand hacked down on the lake.
The lake rang with crisp cracking sounds.
"Ka-cha... ka-cha..."
Like the surface of a mirror, crack after crack appeared, then the next moment the cracks shattered.
"Huala-la..."
Terrifying Ghost Qi rushed straight into the clouds.
Ghost Qi flooded the sky.
Close to hundreds of thousands of Ghosts covered the entire firmament.
Chu Xing, Bing Yu, and the other Ghosts appeared in front of Yunxiao one after another.
"Kill him." Chu Xing was the first to speak.
"Dare hurt my master, today you die for sure." Bing Yu snorted coldly.
She was no longer the same as three years ago.
Her strength had leaped far beyond what it was three years back.
