Chapter 2089: Going to Battle
"This is really interesting."
"Today, I intend to see what tricks you can play."
Xiao Zheng’s lips curled, and he then unhesitatingly charged into the white mist below.
As his body moved, the Ghost King in Soul-breaking Valley sensed it and quickly looked up.
Boom!
Xiao Zheng’s body was like a meteor crashing to the ground, causing the entire valley to tremble!
"Ghost King, we finally meet."
Xiao Zheng’s gaze fell upon the Ghost King not far away, smiling as he greeted him.
Upon hearing this, the Ghost King sneered and said, "Seems like you’ve prepared yourself to die; you received my message just now and rushed over immediately. Honestly, I’m moved by your eagerness to die."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng just smiled and didn’t speak.
His gaze then bypassed the Ghost King, landing on the cracked lonely grave not far behind the Ghost King.
The crack in the lonely grave did not widen, yet blood continued to gush out relentlessly, appearing eerily sinister!
Xiao Zheng squinted slightly, then looked around: "This really is an excellent place; it’s full of Yin evil energy. You probably hid here and cultivated during the two years you went missing, right?"
"Is there anything difficult about guessing that? It’s a simple matter that’s obvious at first glance." The Ghost King sneered, "Xiao Zheng, you killed so many from our Ghost Raising Family; today you’ll pay with your life!"
"Do you think you have the power to kill me?" Xiao Zheng sneered, questioning.
Upon hearing this, a complicated expression flashed in the Ghost King’s eyes, and he then said, "By myself, it’s indeed difficult to kill you, but if I dared ask you to meet here, that means I have the confidence to finish you!"
"Xiao Zheng, you’ll regret your decision to come here!"
"Come forth, Netherworld General!"
With the Ghost King’s roar, the Yin and heavenly energy in the valley suddenly began to riot.
The lonely grave then started to shake violently, cracks expanding, and blood gushing like a fountain, quickly flowing into the nearby creek, staining it red!
Boom!
The lonely grave finally exploded, and a giant three meters tall suddenly rode a high horse of pure bone out of the grave!
This giant had an azure face and tusks, muscles bulging all over, each line filled with a sense of powerful beauty!
Yet the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade in his right hand did not seem beautiful at all!
The blade flickered with a sharp cold light, as if countless souls were wailing on its edge!
"How about it? This is the Netherworld General I painstakingly bred!"
"Are you feeling terrified seeing him?"
The Ghost King watched the man and horse emerging from the grave, his face turning mad.
But Xiao Zheng did not respond to him; his gaze remained on the man and horse, frowning slightly, a hint of surprise on his face. He was sensing a Transcendent Realm aura on the man and horse!
"What is the background of this Netherworld General?"
Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but ask in the end.
Even in opposition, his strong curiosity could not be restrained.
Upon hearing this, the Ghost King was also not planning to conceal, ready to boast before Xiao Zheng: "Haha, you don’t know this, do you? This Netherworld General is a Ghostly Evil Level existence!"
"There are levels among all ghost entities, from low to high: Ghost Child, Ghost Mother, Gui Li, and finally this Ghostly Evil you see!"
"The ghost entity you killed that night was at Gui Li level, its fighting power roughly equivalent to Mid Marvelous Realm. However, the Netherworld General of Ghostly Evil Level here is as strong as a Transcendent Realm Early Stage master!"
After hearing his introduction, Xiao Zheng’s eyes grew even more curious: "Your skills are quite impressive, able to breed ghost entities of such level, the process must’ve been tough, right?"
"Certainly tough! Ghostly Evil level entities haven’t appeared in the world for over a thousand years!" The Ghost King said proudly, "If I hadn’t discovered this ancient battlefield and utilized the centuries-old persistent Yin and evil energy here, I couldn’t have bred a Ghostly Evil Level Netherworld General!"
"Impressive indeed," Xiao Zheng applauded.
He was genuinely impressed, for the Ghost King’s own strength was only at Mid Marvelous Realm, yet he harnessed an ancient battlefield to breed a ghost creature comparable to a Transcendent Realm Early Stage.
Just that Ghost Control Technique was already remarkable.
But Xiao Zheng’s response dealt a deep blow to the Ghost King’s heart: "What’s this attitude? Are you looking down on my Netherworld General?"
"Hmph! Today, I’ll show you the prowess of my Netherworld General!"
"Charge!"
With the Ghost King’s command, the Bone Horse seemed to come alive, neighing. It then carried the single-handed saber-wielding Netherworld General, charging madly at Xiao Zheng.
The Netherworld General’s momentum was unparalleled; even a mere charge swept away the white mist covering the valley!
Seeing this, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
The Ghost King saw the change in expression, mistaking it for fear, and a smile crept on his lips. But that smile soon froze completely on his face.
The Netherworld General charged, swiftly reaching right in front of Xiao Zheng.
Yet Xiao Zheng did not dodge, instead launching an attack, sending out a simple punch that directly sent both the Netherworld General and his mount flying!
The man and horse collided with the mountain, making the entire valley quake!
"How is this possible!"
"This must be an illusion!"
"My Netherworld General has combat power comparable to Transcendent Realm Early Stage; how could you defeat him? It must be an illusion, definitely an illusion!"
The Ghost King’s expression grew ferocious, unable to believe the scene before him.
Yet the reality had happened, and though unwilling to believe, he was forced to.
Believing was one matter; admitting defeat was another.
Even now, the Ghost King did not believe Xiao Zheng’s power surpassed the Netherworld General; he thought it was only due to the Netherworld General’s carelessness that Xiao Zheng managed to punch him flying.
Next, the Ghost King planned to get serious!
