Chapter 1080: Chapter 1052: Soul Summoning and Spirit Calling

The longest path I’ve walked is your trap.

In the cloaked man’s heart, such a thought suddenly emerged.

Because Li Chen’s previous hit was indeed not aimed at him.

But rather...

"Boom!!"

With a loud noise erupting, it came from not far beside the cloaked man.

A house suddenly collapsed just like that.

In Li Chen’s hand, he was holding something.

One hand was holding a white-clothed female ghost, while the other was holding Zhang Jing.

"City life is full of tricks, I want to go back to the countryside!" Originally, the cloaked man wanted to pull a trick on Li Chen, but now he got tricked instead.

Not only was Zhang Jing rescued by Li Chen, even a ghost under his command was taken away.

"What kind of ghost are you?" Li Chen tilted his head, looking at the cloaked man in front of him.

Though the cloaked man seemed human, for some reason, Li Chen always sensed a different aura from this man.

And this aura was almost of the same origin as the ghost in his hand.

Even Li Chen couldn’t be sure if the cloaked man before him was human or ghost.

"I... I’m human!"

The cloaked man, already a bit frustrated, finally couldn’t help but burst out upon hearing Li Chen’s words.

Looking up, Li Chen saw a skinny face.

From the face shape, Li Chen could almost be certain that the body hidden under the cloak must be equally scrawny.

"So you’re a monkey spirit, daring to impersonate a human. Hmph!" Li Chen placed Zhang Jing a bit further behind him, completely shielding her with True Qi, and then sneered, lifting the ghost.

"Monkey... Monkey spirit?" The cloaked man’s eyes widened, though it made him look even more like a monkey.

"You’re courting death!!"

The next moment, the cloaked man forgot his fear, his figure transforming into a meteor abruptly rushing towards Li Chen.

Seeing the cloaked man’s movement, Li Chen’s gaze slightly turned solemn.

Because he could see that though the cloaked man seemed a bit lacking in intelligence, his strength was genuinely that of an Earth-level expert.

Such a person, who could command these ghosts, would indeed be a great trouble if encountered by an ordinary person.

But!

Watching the approaching cloaked man, Li Chen didn’t dodge at all, instead went ahead with a punch directly clashing with the cloaked man.

"Boom!!"

Earth-level True Qi exploded, and the cloaked man instantly spat blood and flew out.

However, as he flew out, a sinister smile crept up on the corner of his mouth.

Because on both sides of Li Chen, those red figures from before appeared again, and there were two of them!

"Tsss—"

The originally silent attack at this moment emitted a faint sound of tearing through the air.

With a sharp and fierce aura, it suddenly sliced towards Li Chen’s head.

Li Chen hunched his body, twisting himself at an eerie angle, and his hands instantly moved to fend off those claw-like sharp fingernails.

Originally, entities like ghosts should fear True Qi, just like the white-clothed female ghost previously grabbed by Li Chen.

However, these two red ghosts showed no retreat against Li Chen’s True Qi, with nails slicing towards Li Chen as sharp as blades.

"Tsss—"

"Sizzle—"

An eerie sound emanated from the point of contact between Li Chen and the red-clothed ghosts.

As if something was burning, or as if something was being torn apart.

Li Chen quickly backed off.

Deep wounds appeared on his hands, even revealing the bone and flesh inside.

Similarly, the claws of the two red-clothed ghosts seemed as though soaked in acid, pitted and twisted beyond recognition.

The sound of the Wind Breaker came from behind, Li Chen knew the cloaked man had seized the opportunity and was coming again.

Without thinking, Li Chen directly reached out and threw the white-clothed female ghost behind him.

According to Li Chen’s guess, even if it’s not remarkable, he should be able to block the cloaked man with the white-clothed female ghost for a moment, giving himself time to recover.

But a surprising scene occurred.

Originally rushing towards Li Chen, the cloaked man’s face changed at the sight of the white-clothed female ghost being thrown at him, immediately retracted his vigor, carefully caught the white-clothed female ghost, and gently placed her on the ground.

"Hmm?" Li Chen raised his eyebrows slightly.

"You go rest first." The cloaked man looked at the white-clothed female ghost beside him and said softly, "You’re not the fighting type; this guy is not easy to deal with, you’d better hide for now."

"Oh, oh." The white-clothed female ghost nodded a bit absent-mindedly, and then saw the cloaked man take out a Jade Pendant, into which she instantly burrowed.

"Didn’t expect you’d take such good care of your pet ghosts." Li Chen said somewhat strangely.

The cloaked man coldly laughed without saying a word.

"I’m actually puzzled. These ghost spirits’ combat power is just that; with your Black Rope rank, such beings can’t help much, right? Why don’t you focus on cultivation instead of messing around with these things?" Li Chen asked curiously.

"Messing around?" The cloaked man looked at Li Chen, the cold laughter on the monkey-faced becoming more pronounced.

"Do you think only Martial Artists possess power in this world?" The cloaked man suddenly pulled out a rope from his body, it had many knots, looking somewhat eerie.

"Though we Spirit Summoners are nearly extinct nowadays, no one dares to call our profession messing around!!" The cloaked man roared, then suddenly swung the rope in his hand.

Three more red-clothed ghosts appeared behind the cloaked man.

Including the two that previously ambushed Li Chen, there were already five red-clothed ghosts.

And Li Chen also noticed, as the rope was wielded, those originally clawless red-clothed ghosts instantly recovered.

"This ghost has a bloodthirsty nature, this spirit is a Fierce Spirit!" The cloaked man’s gaze locked onto Li Chen: "You’re courting death."

"Spirit Summoner? I feel like I’ve heard of it somewhere... Isn’t it similar to Gu art?" Li Chen’s mind turned.

But at this moment, he didn’t have much time to think.

Although he verbally didn’t regard the red-clothed ghosts much, the attack power of the red-clothed ghosts had completely proven their strength.

Though the cloaked man only possessed Black Rope rank strength, a rank below him, it’s truly uncertain how an ordinary Neutralizing Level expert would handle such a scene.

"Since you’ve shown your trump card, I have no choice but to pull out my ace."

Li Chen grinned, then pulled out a blood-colored long blade from his waist.

"This blade loves drinking blood, this blade is named Red Moon!"
