688: Chapter 688: Like a Dragon, Yet Not a Dragon (Fourth Update) 688: Chapter 688: Like a Dragon, Yet Not a Dragon (Fourth Update) “You see, this is the Mother Thunder Liquid.”

Long Yan, without arguing with the Ghost King, directly took out a drop of Mother Thunder Liquid, presenting it in front of the Ghost King.

“Mother Thunder Liquid, it’s indeed the Mother Thunder Liquid.”

The Ghost King’s gaze was immediately captured by the Mother Thunder Liquid, and he confirmed at first glance that the droplet held by Long Yan was indeed the Mother Thunder Liquid.

“Indeed, Mother Thunder Liquid is a treasure of the Thunder Abyss.”

This was the Ghost King’s first time seeing Mother Thunder Liquid, but he was very certain that the droplet in Long Yan’s hand was it.

He had only heard about the existence of Mother Thunder Liquid in Thunder Abyss, he didn’t expect Long Yan actually got it.

“Now, can you hand over my disciple?”

At this point, Long Yan was most worried about the safety of Li Yuanba.

He did not know what situation Li Yuanba was in now.

“Kid, you’re really naive.

Do you think with just one drop of Mother Thunder Liquid, I would let the person go?”

Ghost King began to chuckle sinisterly, his blue face and sharp teeth becoming more ferocious and terrifying.

If Long Yan can easily obtain Mother Thunder Liquid, would he settle for just one drop?

He needs more Mother Thunder Liquid.

“In that case, you should not dream about getting this Mother Thunder Liquid.”

Long Yan’s gaze also turned cold.

He surely knew what Ghost King was up to.

Now, with Lei Zhan by his side, he did not need to compromise with Ghost King anymore.

“Having come here, it’s not up to you.”

The Ghost King scoffed.

The Mother Thunder Liquid was something he was determined to acquire, it was not up to Long Yan.

As his words fell, Ghost King grabbed at Long Yan with his five fingers.

There was a chilling ghostly air in his ghost-claws, swirling like black fog.

And at that same time, Lei Zhan made his move.

Lei Zhan pointed out with one finger, a streak of Purple-gold Divine Thunder spat out from his fingertip, blasted on Ghost Claw, not only shattered it but also pushed Ghost King back three meters away.

It took some effort for the Ghost King to block the Purple-gold Divine Thunder.

“A powerful figure from the Thunder Clan.”

The Ghost King’s gaze fell on Lei Zhan, his pupils suddenly constricting.

It was quite clear that Lei Zhan was a formidable figure from the Thunder Clan, and his cultivation base was at the peak of the Emperor Realm, far stronger than him.

“How did the Thunder Clan’s warrior get involved with this youngster?”

Ghost King was at a loss.

How could a strong man like Lei Zhan be related to Long Yan?

Could it be that Long Yan is a genius from the Thunder Clan?

Lei Zhan did not bother to talk with the Ghost King, taking immediate action.

Although the Ghost King was in the Nirvana Realm too, he was far inferior to Lei Zhan.

In less than thirty breaths, the Ghost King was suppressed by Lei Zhan’s overpowering might.

Then, a powerful Thunder light emerged from Lei Zhan’s palm, infiltrating into the Ghost King’s sea of consciousness, beginning to search for the Ghost King’s memories.

Half an hour later, Lei Zhan shattered the Ghost King’s Heavenly Spirit Cover with one palm.

“Things are not looking good.”

Lei Zhan said to Long Yan, “Let’s go deeper.”

Then, the two of them dashed towards the depths, soon arriving in a secret room.

The secret room was dark and damp, filled with a chilling ghostly air.

In the center of the secret room was a ghost pool.

Within the pool, a figure was immersed, both arms chained, and it was unclear if he was alive or dead.

“Yuanba.”

Long Yan’s eyes narrowed abruptly.

The figure in the ghost pool was Li Yuanba.

At this point, Li Yuanba’s face was ashen, the corners of his mouth protruding clearly as his fangs grew.

It wouldn’t be long before he turned into a creature that was neither human nor ghost, like the Ghost King.

With one palm, Long Yan shattered the chains and then lifted Li Yuanba out of the ghost pool.

“Roar!”

At this moment, Li Yuanba suddenly opened his eyes, let out a beast-like roar, his eyes flashing with green light, and his hands immediately reached out to grab Long Yan, shrouded with a dense ghostly aura.

Just then, Lei Zhan pointed to Li Yuanba’s back, making Li Yuanba faint temporarily.

“He has been cursed by the Ghost King and soaked in the Ghost Pool, essentially making him half a ghost cultivator.

Right now, his consciousness is pretty chaotic.”

Lei Zhan explained.

“The Ghost king should be able to undo the curse.”

Long Yan’s brows furrowed slightly.

Even if the Ghost King could undo the curse, it was too late now.

“The Ghost King couldn’t remove the curse, which is why I killed him.”

Lei Zhan explained.

Having read the Ghost King’s memories, he knew the Ghost King couldn’t remove the curse.

What the Ghost King had told Long Yan before—that he could remove the curse—was all a lie.

“So what do we do now?”

Long Yan felt somewhat helpless.

Although ghost cultivators are a type of martial artists, the cultivation method is not perfect and was abandoned many years ago.

Moreover, ghost cultivators look extremely ugly, he didn’t want his disciple to look neither human nor ghost.

“There is still a way to save him.”

Lei Zhan explained, “The curse mainly corrupts the bloodline and Primordial Spirit.

I can temporarily suppress the power of the curse in his blood, but no one can help with the Primordial Spirit.

We can only let him regain his consciousness on his own, then find a way to remove the curse power in his blood.”

“Then, I am counting on you.”

Long Yan had no other option.

Now, whether Li Yuanba could break free from the Ghost King’s curse was all up to him.

Lei Zhan nodded slightly and then drove a few streams of Purple-gold Divine Thunder into Li Yuanba’s body to temporarily seal the power of the curse.

“Long Yan, there is something else sealed in this Ghost King’s Daoist Domain.

It depends on whether you can suppress it.”

As his voice dropped, Lei Zhan struck the ground with his palm and caused a crevice.

Frightening evil qi spurted out from below.

“Let’s go, descend.”

Lei Zhan said.

Long Yan nodded slightly, moved Li Yuanba into the Azure Dragon Ring, and then followed Lei Zhan into the crevice.

Lei Zhan released Purple-gold Divine Thunder and directly dispelled the evil qi.

In a short moment, both of them reached an underground space.

This space wasn’t large, about a hundred meters in length and width.

“Such terrifying evil qi, no wonder it can birth the Corpse evil.”

A towering column of evil qi filled the space, so dense that it was almost tangible.

Even Lei Zhan didn’t dare ignore this evil qi.

Within this evil qi, the existence of evil fire was evident.

“Look!”

Following the direction pointed out by Lei Zhan, Long Yan focused his eyes and, through the hazy evil qi, a black object appeared in his view.

After scrutinizing it for a while, Long Yan finally made out what that black object was.

The black object suspended mid-air, was about a dozen meters long, looked like a dragon but wasn’t really one.

It was pitch-black all over and continuously swallowed the evil qi.

Upon closer inspection, the dragon-like black object was made up of numerous energy sources fusing together.

The black energy was constantly moving, like tiny insects, as if it had life.

“What is this?”

Confusion flashed in Long Yan’s eyes.

He had no idea what this thing was.

However, since this thing was suppressed by the Ghost King, it had to be extraordinary.

It was probably some kind of treasure.

It seemed that the Ghost King had intended to merge with this black object, but could only suppress it and failed to merge.

It was imaginable that this thing was not easy to merge with.

After all, the Ghost King had the power of the Nirvana realm.

The ability of this object to absorb evil qi was pretty remarkable.
