Chapter 2086: Pursuit
Xiao Zheng, all in all, only made three moves in total.
First, he struck back the armored ghost warrior with a single finger, then shattered its weapon with another finger, and finally, with a punch, he forcibly blew up the lower half of the armored ghost warrior.
Such terrifying combat power was completely beyond the Ghost King’s expectations!
He initially thought that Xiao Zheng’s strength, at most, was that of the Supreme Realm, and with the rank of the armored ghost warrior, they could at least fight to a draw. Yet reality was unimaginably cruel, as Xiao Zheng’s power left the ghost warrior of Gui Li rank completely unable to retaliate!
"Ghost King, is it? I know you can hear what I’m saying now."
Just as the Ghost King’s heart was in shock, Xiao Zheng’s voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
The Ghost King’s pupils contracted dramatically, his heart once again surging with endless waves.
He never expected that Xiao Zheng could guess the connection between him and the armored ghost warrior and was using it as a messenger between them!
"Do you still plan to play dead?"
"You don’t need to speak, anyway, I’ve already locked onto your position."
"Since you don’t want to chat from such a distance, I’ll come to you directly."
Xiao Zheng’s voice appeared once more.
However, it dropped into the Ghost King’s mind, instantly causing his mind to blank!
Xiao Zheng had already locked onto his position!
This was absolutely bad news for the Ghost King!
As the Ghost King regained his senses, he urgently wanted to speak with Xiao Zheng. Unfortunately, Xiao Zheng gave him no chance, and once again punched the armored ghost warrior. This punch showed no mercy; the ghost warrior with Supreme Realm combat power was directly blown apart by Xiao Zheng’s strike.
Ghost warriors at the Gui Li level are always connected spiritually with their summoner.
When the ghost warrior is killed, the summoner is also affected.
Thus, after the armored ghost warrior was obliterated by Xiao Zheng’s punch, the Ghost King spat a mouthful of fresh blood!
Witnessing this scene, Wang Tianjun and the others beside him involuntarily felt their eyelids twitch, and a deep sense of unease surged in their hearts!
Just as they were at a loss, the Ghost King suddenly walked towards the outside.
Wang Tianjun saw this and hurried forward to ask, "Ghost King, where are you going?"
Yet the Ghost King completely ignored him, flew straight into the clouds, and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye!
Seeing him fly away without a word, Wang Tianjun and the others were dumbfounded.
"Did the Ghost King just run away?"
"What just happened? Why did the Ghost King suddenly get injured?"
"Is there even a need to ask? He must have been injured by the Evil God! Maybe that ghost warrior of Gui Li rank has been obliterated by the Evil God now! Let’s hurry up and escape; even the Ghost King ran away, we shouldn’t stay behind and wait for death!"
The crowd murmured among themselves, and soon after began to flee for their lives.
But before they could pack up their things, they saw a figure descending from the sky. Wang Tianjun and the others initially thought it was the Ghost King returning, but when the figure landed, they realized it was Xiao Zheng!
The appearance of Evil God Xiao Zheng had firmly etched itself in the hearts of everyone from the Ghost Raising Family!
So at the first sight of Xiao Zheng, Wang Tianjun and the others recognized him!
"It’s over! We’re completely finished this time!"
"Never thought the Evil God would pursue us so quickly, he actually found us here!"
The crowd watched Xiao Zheng descending from the sky, their eyes flashing with a touch of despair.
Xiao Zheng’s gaze swept over the people one by one, then he couldn’t help but frown and ask, "Where’s the Ghost King? Where did he go?"
Feeling his murderous intent, everyone fell to the ground in fear.
Finally, Wang Tianjun stuttered, "The Ghost, the Ghost King just escaped, from that direction! Esteemed Evil God, please spare us, we beg you for mercy!"
He actually started pleading directly!
Seeing this scene, Gu Ziyou and others cursed him in their hearts for being sneaky, then followed his lead and began to beg Xiao Zheng as well.
But Xiao Zheng didn’t pay them any mind, didn’t even glance at them again, and his body rose directly into the air, chasing in the direction the Ghost King fled.
Realizing they had survived, Wang Tianjun and the others couldn’t contain their excitement!
The relief and exhilaration of escaping death made everyone shed tears!
But what none of them expected was, just as they were embracing and crying with joy, the courtyard’s door was suddenly kicked open violently!
Long Qie and others had pursued them as well!
Upon discovering Wang Tianjun and the others, they didn’t have the patience Xiao Zheng had, and completely ignored their pleas, with Long Qie and others beginning a slaughter in the courtyard...
Aside from the miserable situation at the Wang Family Mansion, after Xiao Zheng went full speed, relying on a faint trace, he quickly spotted the figure of the Ghost King.
Seeing him approach, the Ghost King who glanced back couldn’t help but reveal a hint of panic on his face. He didn’t speak but accelerated again, seemingly wanting to shake off Xiao Zheng.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but laugh coldly and said, "It’s useless. No matter how fast you are, you can’t be faster than me. Instead of being caught and killed by me, you’d better stop now and fight me."
His voice, amplified by energy, easily reached the ears of the Ghost King.
Yet the Ghost King acted as if he hadn’t heard, continuing to flee at high speed.
Xiao Zheng gradually lost his patience, his speed suddenly increased, and in a flash, he caught up to the Ghost King! With twin blades in hand, he attacked the Ghost King’s back without another word!
Sword Qi crisscrossed the clouds, as if thunder and wind sounded!
As the blades flashed, the Ghost King’s body was cleaved in two by Xiao Zheng’s dual swords!
However, the next second, surprise flashed in Xiao Zheng’s eyes!
After the Ghost King’s body was slashed, no blood flowed. Instead, his body slowly dematerialized, finally dissipating into the air!
It was actually a substitute!
More accurately, it was a doppelganger transformed by a ghost warrior!
Obviously, Xiao Zheng had been tricked by the Ghost King, who used a ghost warrior capable of replicating his aura to deceive him!
"Damn it!"
"He managed to escape!"
Xiao Zheng cursed inwardly, but he wasn’t too disappointed.
Because the Ghost King can run for now, but not forever!
Xiao Zheng had plenty of ways to find the Ghost King’s whereabouts!
"Since you’re lucky and have escaped."
"Then I’ll temporarily spare your life today, but next time we meet, you won’t be so lucky!"
Xiao Zheng gazed towards the horizon, his eyes quickly flashing with killing intent.
Then he said nothing more and directly flew towards the Wang Family Mansion...
