Chapter 462: 370 Fourth-order Puppet Beast_1

"Taoist Friend Shen, this person has mighty divine skills, run quickly,"

After saying this, Ye Lin transformed into a streak of green escape light and flew away along the path he had come.

Such a late-stage Nascent Soul ghost cultivator was too ferocious, and Ye Lin, devoid of any will to fight, only wanted to escape as quickly as possible.

A deafening thunderclap resounded from the high skies; a thick silver thunderbolt tore through the heavens, aiming for Ye Lin.

Ye Lin reacted swiftly, with the green jade pendant on his chest shining brightly and a thick green light screen suddenly appeared, protecting his entire body.

The silver thunderbolt struck the void behind Ye Lin, unleashing a ghostly wail of agony.

Ye Lin quickly produced a red light-flashing fan and waved it gently, casting out a vast expanse of red flames that merged into the thunderbolt, and a tremendous explosion followed.

A dazzling black light flared up, as the flames and thunderbolt dissipated, revealing the figure of a woman in a black dress.

The woman in the black dress opened her mouth slightly, emitting an extremely piercing ghostly cry.

Upon hearing this, Ye Lin’s face swelled to a bright red as he spat out a mouthful of essence blood and his complexion paled.

The woman in the black dress summoned a skull-headed crutch swirling with black light and slammed it onto the green light screen. The screen shattered instantly like paper and the black crutch crashed onto Ye Lin’s head, causing blood to flow from his cracked skull.

The skull head seemed to come to life, emitting a black luminescence that fell upon Ye Lin, whose body withered at a visible rate. In a flash of spiritual light, his corpse turned into a luminescent spherical bead, a Tribulation-Substituting Bead.

With a "snap," the Tribulation-Substituting Bead shattered into pieces.

Tens of miles away, a streak of green light appeared in the void and Ye Lin emerged, panicked.

The woman in the black dress’s expression turned cold, and she was about to deploy other divine skills when a streak of green fiery light lit up behind her, revealing a giant Green Fire Phoenix radiating terrifying heat.

Before she could dodge, a sharp, piercing screech rang out, and she suddenly felt dizzy and disoriented.

A thick green lightning bolt cleaved across the sky, striking the woman in the black dress, who was engulfed by the green thunder light.

"Taoist Friend Shen, run quickly,"

After Ye Lin spoke these words, he shone with a strong green light and flew away along the path he had come.

Shen Long flicked his sleeve, and a flurry of yellow light-sparkling sand flew out. With a sudden condensation, it turned into a huge yellow sand screen, enclosing himself and the woman in the black dress within.

He sensed something and summoned the Lihuo Stick, swinging it violently toward his rear.

A flash of black and the woman in the black dress appeared, wielding her black crutch, smashing it toward Shen Long.

The black crutch collided with the Lihuo Stick, issuing a muffled sound of metal clashing, and the woman in the black dress was sent flying backwards, her body vanishing into nothingness without a trace.

A ripple undulated above Shen Long’s head in the void, and a black ghost claw emerged, swiping directly down at him.

Shen Long let out a long howl to the sky, spewing out a red sound wave that shattered the black ghost claw.

A dark shadow flashed past, appearing behind him; it was the woman in the black dress.

The woman in the black dress let out a ghostly cry that was gut-wrenchingly piteous, and Shen Long felt a loss of strength through his body, unable to exert any force and feeling slightly dizzy.

Her eyes emitted one beam of black light each, hitting Shen Long’s Protective Spirit Light, and with a swing of her black crutch, the Protective Spirit Light instantly shattered.

Shen Long summoned the Black Skulled Shield, blocking the black crutch’s blow, but he and the shield were sent flying backward.

The woman in the black dress furrowed her brows, her figure flickered, and she appeared at Shen Long’s rear. Her right index finger shone with a black light and with a gentle tap toward the void, a beam of black light shot out, hitting Shen Long’s left shoulder, instantly creating a blood hole the size of a finger, with blood flowing ceaselessly.

As she was about to deploy other techniques, a giant green Thunder Spirit Stone fell from the sky, smashing toward the woman in the black dress.

The woman in the black dress was taken aback and just about to dodge when a sharp, piercing screech echoed by her ears, overwhelming her with a wave of dizziness.

Seizing this opportunity, a green thunderball smashed onto the body of the woman in the black dress, and a tremendous boom resounded, illuminating the sky with a vast green thunderlight.

A giant green dove bird appeared in the sky, its body covered in mysterious spiritual patterns. This was a fourth-tier Puppet Beast, which required a mid-grade or higher Thunder Spirit Stone to activate.

The green dove bird lightly flapped its wings, and hundreds of green thunderballs shot out, continuously merging into the thunderlight amidst a series of colossal booms, making the thunderlight even more blinding to the eyes.

A purple streak of rainbow swept over, seemingly about to slice the thunderlight in two.

A black crutch flew out from within the thunderlight and collided with the purple rainbow, emitting a muffled sound as the purple streak bounced back.

Hundreds of massive red sword lights swept over and entered into the green thunderlight without a single sound emanating from within.

A shadow lit up in a certain void, and the woman in the black dress appeared; her face was pale, and her aura was wilted.

Thunder Methods are the bane of Ghost Cultivators, and she had never imagined that Shen Long possessed a fourth-tier Puppet Beast with thunder attribute.

The moment the woman in the black dress appeared, a sharp and piercing screech resounded once more, causing her eyebrows to furrow.

A green firelight lit up behind her, revealing a massive Green Fire Phoenix radiating terrifyingly high temperatures.

The Green Fire Phoenix collided with the body of the woman in the black dress, and a burst of green flames engulfed her figure. Her face twisted fiercely as she let out an extreme cry of agony.

A huge green thunderball fell from the sky, striking the woman in the black dress, and a great burst of green thunderlight flared up.

A chilly breeze blew by, and the Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon appeared, surrounded by a cocoon of blue rosy light.

The Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon opened the mouths of four of its heads and plunged them into the thunderlight. As the thunderlight dissipated, the woman’s body flickered in and out of visibility, with the four heads of the Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon biting down on her body.

"Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon, no..."

The woman in the black dress let out a sound of despair.

The four heads of the Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon tore gently, and the body of the woman in the black dress was ripped into four, swallowed by the creature.

Had she been at her peak, the Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon wouldn’t have been able to kill her so easily, given that she was a Nascent Soul Late Stage Ghost Cultivator and had already suffered heavy injuries, so naturally, she was no match.

"Truly delectable! Such pure Yin essence."

The Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon exclaimed excitedly.

"Someone’s coming, come back now!"

Shen Long instructed.

The Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon flew back into the Spirit Beast Bracelet, and Shen Long beckoned with one hand. Three Storage Bracelets flew up from the void below, landing in his hand—all the possessions that the Ghost Cultivator had acquired from killed Cultivators now belonged to Shen Long.

Shen Long put away the black crutch and the Spiritual Treasure, pinched a spell, and the yellow sand curtain dispersed, transforming into a flurry of glistening yellow sand, which flew into the sleeve of his robe.

A streak of yellow light appeared in the distant sky, stopped with a flash, and revealed a glowing yellow scroll. Five men and one woman stood atop it, with Ye Lin and Zhou Hualei among them.

"Taoist Friend Shen, where’s that Ghost Cultivator?"

Zhou Hualei asked.

"I’ve slain her,"

Shen Long said truthfully.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Hualei and the six were visibly shocked.

It was known that Zhou Hualei and Shen Tianhong together had only managed to injure the Ghost Cultivator. Shen Long alone had slain her?

Shen Long took out the black crutch and said, "This is the Profound Yin Crutch, the Spiritual Treasure she was using!"
