Chapter 458: 366 Kill Ghost Creature_1

A tall red-robed elder was dueling a giant skeleton over ten zhang tall. The giant skeleton wielded a bone saber shrouded in black qi, while the red-robed elder manipulated three red-flashing flying knives that struck the giant skeleton, emitting sounds akin to metal clashing against iron.

Waving a red feather fan in his hand, the red-robed elder unleashed a vast wave of crimson flames that swept forth, engulfing the giant skeleton’s figure. However, shortly after, a piercing wail of a ghost rose, and an eye-stinging burst of black light flared, dispersing the fierce flames.

The giant skeleton opened its mouth to spit out a stream of black ghostly fire that landed on the protective spirit light around the red-robed elder, causing it instantly to dim, as the bone saber cleaved down towards him.

With a muffled sound, the protective spirit light shattered, but the elder reacted swiftly, conjuring a red shield in front of him.

The bone saber struck the red shield, sending it flying backwards and crashing into the red-robed elder, who was consequently flung away, coughing up a large mouthful of essence blood and his complexion turning pale.

A cold gust of wind blew by, and the giant skeleton appeared unexpectedly in front of the red-robed elder, poised to deliver a fatal blow.

Just then, a thick silver column of lightning fell from the sky, striking the giant skeleton.

A piercing explosion sounded, and dazzling silver lightning engulfed the figure of the giant skeleton.

Before the lightning dispersed, a black glow descended from the sky, enveloping the giant skeleton and drawing it into the Hundred Ghosts Chart.

Shen Long arrived and asked, "Where is your family’s ancestor?"

"Haoming Ancestor and Senior Chu are being chased by a Nascent Soul Stage ghost creature, we beseech you to lend your aid quickly," the red-robed elder pleaded urgently.

Shen Long took out the Purple Pupil Bead, infused it with mana, and instantly, the bead radiated blinding spiritual light.

"Oh, Fairy Chu."

Shen Long let out a light gasp, having not expected to encounter Chu Buyu here.

Transformed into a red escape light, he broke through the air and flew into the high sky.

Chu Buyu stood in the high sky, with a treasure umbrella whose spiritual light was dim, floating above her head, as a thick red light screen enveloped her entire body.

A ghostly shadow, barely visible, and a green-faced, fanged Green Giant Ape were attacking Chu Buyu. The Green Giant Ape was not corporeal, its body emitting terrifying waves of yin qi, also a Nascent Soul Stage ghost creature.

Chu Buyu was fighting with a golden flying knife about a foot long and a red banner flag against the ghost creature.

The golden flying knife was covered in golden electric arcs, while the red banner flag released rolling flames, which the ghost creature dared not face head-on.

A void fluctuation arose as an inky ghost claw emerged from the void above Chu Buyu’s head, reaching down to grab her.

The ghost claw struck the red light screen, making a dull sound, and the luminosity of the light screen dimmed slightly.

A gust of yin wind blew, and a murky ghost shadow appeared, its mouth emitting a black sonic wave that swept across the red light screen, creating a dent and causing the screen’s light to fade.

The ghost shadow’s fingers turned to blades, striking the red light screen, which shattered like flimsy paper. Chu Buyu was about to evade when a heartrendingly mournful wailing sound rang out.

Hearing this, Chu Buyu instantly felt dizzy and could barely stand straight.

The ghost shadow’s sharp claws lunged directly at Chu Buyu, but at that moment, a scarlet firelight shone in front of her, and Shen Long appeared, gently flapping his Windfire Wings on his back.

Shen Long’s body radiated a brilliant red glow, his hands transforming into red dragon claws, counterattacking the ghost creature.

A shriek from the ghost creature sounded as the dragon claw broke the ghost claw.

Behind the ghost shadow, a burst of green firelight ignited, revealing a massive Green Fire Phoenix, its presence causing the nearby temperature to rise rapidly.

With a gentle flap of its wings, the Green Fire Phoenix collided with the ghost shadow.

An explosive noise erupted, and a sea of green flames engulfed the body of the ghost shadow.

Emitted from the ghost shadow was a plume of green smoke along with a chilling shriek, followed by a deafening roar of a dragon. A spiritually glowing red longsword descended from the heavens, bisecting the ghost shadow in two, who turned into a black orb the size of a chicken egg that fell to the ground.

A Nascent Soul Stage ghost creature was thus exterminated, leaving behind only a Yin Pearl. Devouring the Yin Pearl would greatly benefit the evolution of the Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon.

Seeing that the situation was dire, the Green Giant Ape transformed into a green escape light and broke away at a high speed.

"Thinking of escaping now is too late," Shen Long said coldly.

An ear-piercing screech resounded like a heavy hammer hitting the Green Giant Ape, making it dizzy and disorientated. Suddenly, a thick silver column of lightning fell from the sky, striking the Green Giant Ape, and the lightning shrouded its body.

Shen Long gestured a spell, and green flames coalesced into a massive Green Fire Phoenix, which, flapping its wings, flew into the silver lightning amid ghostly wails. The silver lightning and green firelight clashed violently.

Chu Buyu changed her spell, and the golden flying knife’s light surged, spiraling into the lightning.

The thunderous light faded, and the Green Giant Ape disappeared, leaving a green orb the size of a chicken egg on the ground.

Chu Buyu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Taoist Friend Shen."

"Fairy Chu, how come you are in the Chen Family?"

Shen Long asked with confusion.

"It’s a long story. First, let’s go help Senior Brother Xu and the others,"

Chu Buyu said urgently.

A deafening explosion sounded, and a massive ball of crimson lightning lit up in the distant sky.

With a gentle flutter of the Windfire Wings on his back, Shen Long disappeared from his spot.

Xu Xin and a portly elder in a yellow robe stood in the sky, enveloped by a thick golden light screen protecting the two of them.

Not far off was a tremendous ball of crimson lightning that was extremely conspicuous.

The elder in yellow pinched his spell, and a large amount of spiritual light flashed through yellow gravel as they merged into a glowing yellow sword that plunged into the crimson lightning without making the slightest sound.

A cold wind blew past, and a green-faced, fang-toothed Fierce Ghost suddenly appeared behind them. The ghost had a single black horn on its head and a pair of black wings on its back, with blood-red eyes.

As soon as the Fierce Ghost appeared, its horn released a beam of black light, striking the golden light screen and causing its Spiritual Light to dim.

The ghost expelled a wave of black sonic energy, shattering the golden light screen like a bubble and sweeping over the bodies of Xu Xin and the elder in yellow.

Xu Xin and the elder were sent flying backward, each spitting out a mouthful of Essence Blood, their faces turning pale.

Just as the Fierce Ghost was about to use another method, a piercing and harsh screeching sound rang by its ears, causing its reaction to slow down. A thick column of silver lightning descended from the sky, striking the ghost, and the lightning engulfed it.

Over a hundred giant fireballs shot forth, merging into the lightning. A series of huge explosions sounded, and several massive crimson mushroom clouds lit up in the sky, followed by a red rainbow and a golden rainbow shooting forth and merging into the thunder and fire.

After a while, the flames and lightning dissipated, and the Fierce Ghost was gone.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu hurried over. Shen Long looked at Xu Xin and asked, "Taoist Friend Xu, are you alright?"

"I’m fine, thank you, Taoist Friend Shen,"

Xu Xin said gratefully.

"I am Chen Haoming. Thank you for your assistance, Taoist Friend Shen."

The elder in the yellow robe said with his fists clasped in thanks.

"It was just a small effort. We were invited by Madam Mu to come and support your Chen Family, and I am glad Taoist Friend Chen is alright,"

Shen Long said.

"Madam Mu! Now I understand,"

Chen Haoming suddenly realized.

"Let’s go back first! Taoist Friend Ye and the others have probably dealt with those Ghost Creatures by now,"

Shen Long suggested. With a flick of his wrist, the Iron Tail Scorpion flew up from the desert sands and entered the Spirit Beast Bracelet.

Chen Haoming and the three others had no objections and returned with Shen Long to the ancestral grounds of the Chen Family at Green Ape Mountain, where the ground was strewn with dried corpses, mostly those of the Chen Family’s own kin, as the disciples of the Chen Family were cleaning the battlefield.

"Yun Shuo, please see to our three visitors; I will be back shortly,"

Chen Haoming instructed a red-robed elder, then soared towards the mountaintop.

It seemed that Chen Haoming was in a hurry to tend to some matter, and Shen Long and the others tactfully refrained from asking further questions.

After a short while, Chen Haoming returned, his face beaming with smiles.

Mu Xue led a group and hurried over. Upon seeing Chen Haoming, Mu Xue breathed a sigh of relief.

"Taoist Friend Chen, are you alright?"

Mu Xue asked with concern.

"Thanks to Taoist Friend Shen, I am without major harm,"

Chen Haoming said.
