Chapter 236: Chapter 236: Quick Battle

"Hiss!"

Almost simultaneously, Jiang Yuan’s left side, Bai Yunqi’s vertical pupils turned scarlet, and a giant white serpent’s phantom appeared, as if towering to the sky, manifested at the same time as the opponent’s Ghost Roar skill.

Snake Coagulation vs Ghost Roar, the same Spiritual Strike skills clashed in the air, producing a substantial shockwave.

Hu Zhile’s Realm was a bit lower, but his combat experience was rich.

Seeing things weren’t looking good, he transformed into his original form—a huge snow-white fox, fur bristling to appear even more fluffy and grand.

With a fox cry, she unleashed a similar sound wave attack, neutralizing the damage to herself while trying to protect the grandfather and grandson in the nearby cabin.

Everything happened in an instant.

The left white snake and the right white fox exerted force together, Jiang Yuan felt as if his eardrums were about to burst, clearly seeing his health bar drop partially.

Apparently, after equipping the Earth Spirit Pearl of medium quality organs, the defense directly negated over 2000+ damage and reduced it by 5%, and with both Xiao Bai and Hu Zhile attacking simultaneously to offset it, the lethal sound wave attack by the Fourth Layer Heart Refining Realm Ghost Cultivator only took out less than a quarter of the health bar.

Fortunately, the defense timely boosted, and luckily the two contract pets were so effective and cooperative, although the health bar decreased, there was no subsequent impact.

A thought flashed through his mind, but the jujube wood rod in his hand didn’t pause for a second.

"Bang bang bang," it smashed onto the opponent’s body like raindrops, the Vast Mountains and Rivers combo didn’t cease, and when the colliding sound waves gradually dissipated, Jiang Yuan’s last blow hit Li Ming directly on the neck.

Only a muffled "crack" was heard, and the opponent’s health bar dropped to zero, Game over!

"Quick! Retreat quickly!"

Bai Yunqi couldn’t care about the energy churned by the sound wave impact, seeing the Venerable Family unaffected at the forefront, he felt both envious and anxious, pulled him along into the cabin while shouting, "Old man, send back to Black Water City quickly! Without my news, never return! Mingchuan, hurry and leave!"

Despite Jiang Yuan, Bai Yunqi, and Hu Zhile together offsetting the sound wave attack damage, the residual waves were weakened by the array, shield, and cabin, Wan An, who hadn’t officially begun cultivation, still felt his brain buzzing from the shock, and listening to Mr. Bai saying this, immediately took out the Teleportation Talisman and tremblingly used it, disappearing from the cabin;

Hu Zhile jumped directly to the cabin’s entrance, landed transformed back into human form, and the Teleportation Scroll unfolded in his hand without wasting any time, successfully teleporting the group back to the courtyard.

Just as Bai Yunqi unleashed Snake Coagulation without restraining his aura, a pair of deep blue eyes abruptly opened in the darkness, icily said, "Bai Yunqi, you finally revealed your serpent tail!"

Immediately, a sinister wind roared, as if some terrifying beast was awakening.

"Indeed, the new neighbor is not simple." The Yin Mountain corpse Tang Qin sensed the scorching power when Jiang Yuan first unleashed the Heaven-Burning Flame attack.

According to the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow arrangement, the Heaven-Burning Scripture’s level was a bit low, but Jiang Yuan’s diligence in using and upgrading it quickly in reality had pushed its influence to level seven.

Yet she dared not act recklessly, because the aura sensed afterward was even more frenzied, confirming it was a Pure Yang Fire Element skill that most ghost cultivators dreaded.

Thus, Tang Qin immediately raised all her Cave Mansion’s defenses, fearing the fish in the pool might be affected.

Just teleported to the Cave Mansion’s entrance wanting to watch from afar, she heard the colliding sound wave, with the Ghost Roar clearly coming from Li Ming, and another unfamiliar aura swept with a faint Earth Element Power spreading.

Tang Qin wasn’t that sensitive to auras, after being swept by blazing flames and engulfed by Vast Mountains and Rivers, most of the mixed auras passed over rendering her unable to identify useful information, more peculiarly the battle from burst to end, the entire process was extremely short.

Considering her understanding of Li Ming, having deployed his trump skill Ghost Roar, it was impossible he wouldn’t be soothed and stop fighting in such a short time, so...

"Could it be Li Ming was killed?!" After much thought reached this conclusion, Tang Qin was startled.

That was a ghost cultivator stronger than herself, and his cultivation techniques were peculiarly relentless when engaged, a cultivator able to kill him so quickly must have a much higher Realm!

When did such terrifying beings arrive at the Great Yin Mountain? Could it be the new neighbors living at Lotus Peak? Why would Li Ming conflict with them?

Sinister wind roared, the aura left in the air growing weaker.

She thought for a while before flashing to the battlefield, the Fengdu official array aura greeted her, she dared not approach too close, observing from afar.

In the array, two clean and tidy blue-bricked houses with tightly shut windows could be seen, surrounded by what seemed not too strong a protective shield expanded around.

No ghost shadows visible, but outside the array in the woodland was a barren area with a diameter of about ten meters lacking any vegetation or stones, devoid of everything, aside from indicating a bizarre battle affected only this area, nothing else provided useful information.

"Strange, or perhaps unable to kill Li Ming, took him by force with teleportation to another place?" Tang Qin’s delicately embroidered shoes floated lightly in the air, trying to discern from afar what kind of battle burst out in such a short time.

Yet the more she looked, the less she understood, logically Li Ming when engaging shouldn’t merely affect the area several miles, at minimum wouldn’t just cause destruction in such a small range, furthermore the surrounding intact grass and trees left no battling traces.

Could it be... one side was purely being pummeled?

"Buzz!"

While Tang Qin was puzzled, her eardrums were suddenly shaken by the buzzing sound from afar, simultaneously a terrifying pressure suddenly assaulted!

She immediately became unstable, falling to the ground, her newly replaced heart pounding uncontrollably, not daring to breathe heavily, only able to prostrate in submission.

"Who are you?"

A huge black whirlwind leisurely floated over, seeming casual yet moving quickly, reaching the battlefield and asking, "Where are the fighters from earlier here?"

Tang Qin couldn’t help trembling violently, she didn’t know the other’s divine nature only could feel herself as tiny as an ant before them, a slight displeasure would mean immediate death.

"I’m a ghost cultivator in the Great Yin Mountain, known as Tang Qin." She replied nervously, "Due to my Cave Mansion being near, I discovered the fight wanting to observe, but upon arrival, I couldn’t see any ghost shadows."

The black whirlwind remained silent, its gaze flitting past the rudimentary small house and low-level shield with some disdain, Bai Yunqi the arrogant fellow always sets high standards, this behavior didn’t conform to his style, likely unrelated.

So... that guy suddenly disappearing for years then appearing and disappearing again, what is this mystery?

"Tell me about the fighting situation you sensed."

"Yes, senior." Tang Qin, fearing to miss anything, described the violent aura she detected during the extremely short burst.

"Fire Element and Earth Element Technique?" The whirlwind slightly rotated, gazing at the barren circular land, a bit confused.

Bai Yunqi cultivates Water Element Technique, no matter what can’t change it, could it be he recruited two subordinates?

Or... considering the snake leaked aura only used Spiritual Attack method without further action, being a proud type unlikely to pair with others, then another possibility—Bai Yunqi was tasked to capture Ghost Cultivator Li Ming in the Netherworld!

With others failing to suppress, he unleashed Snake Coagulation thoroughly subduing, using Teleportation Talisman or other Magical Treasure to teleport from the Netherworld, this would be quite reasonable.

"Humph! Lucky him, next time he shows his face, I’ll ensure there’s no return!"

"Achoo!" Upon returning to the courtyard still somewhat frightened, Bai Yunqi uncharacteristically sneezed, and complained, "Really unfortunate, that Li Ming surely has a Storage Bag or something, didn’t get a chance to loot the body, put in so much effort and still lost! Actually, that guy might not necessarily realize... Venerable Family, do you think if we return now there’s still time to loot the body? Would not be taken advantage of by other little ghosts? Venerable Family?"
