Splash splash splash splash...
The rain was pouring down.
Zhao Kongcheng held a straight sword, his dark red cloak was soaked, and he was covered in blood, making him look extremely disheveled.
But his eyes were as bright as stars!
So... this is the Forbidden Ruins.
Awesome!
That was fucking awesome!
Opposite him, the Ghost King stared in astonishment at his empty right arm, his pale ghost face contorted with shock.
It couldn't understand why the mouse, which it had just been unilaterally tormenting, could suddenly unleash such powerful strength.
But it's not smart enough, and... it doesn't have the time.
Zhao Kongcheng made a move.
Under the influence of the Ghost God's Inducing Medicine, his body had forgotten all his injuries and returned to its best condition. He was like an arrow released from a bow, flying towards the Ghost Face King!
"Roar, roar, roar!!"
With its eyes bloodshot and having lost its right arm, the Ghost King had completely descended into a berserk state!Its muscles bulged, its entire body swelled up, its legs bent, and its massive body suddenly leaped up, splashing up a large spray of water.
In mid-air, two figures collided at lightning speed!
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The two moved so fast it was blurry, and black, crescent-shaped blades flew out, leaving large, gruesome marks on the surrounding ground!
Originally, Zhao Kongcheng's blade couldn't break through Ghost Face King's defense at all, and he was far inferior in both strength and speed, which was the fundamental reason why he was beaten so badly just now.
Now, with [Ming Sheng Shan Yue], Zhao Kongcheng's destructive power has reached a terrifying level, and every strike can leave a deep bloodstain on Ghost Face King's body!
Although Zhao Kongcheng is still inferior to Ghost Face King in terms of strength and speed, once he makes up for his shortcomings in lethality, he can compensate for his other weaknesses with experience.
Even though his physical abilities were far inferior to Ghost Face King's, he could still pin his opponent to the ground and beat him to a pulp!
As it turns out, Zhao Kongcheng was not lying.Once he possesses the Forbidden Ruins, he can kill the Ghost-Faced King eight hundred times over!
If he had enough time, killing Ghost King single-handedly would only be a matter of time... but the key is that he doesn't have that much time.
Although using the Ghost God's Guidance can unleash a person's full potential, the duration is not long. Almost ten seconds have passed since Zhao Kongcheng activated the Forbidden Ruins, and he doesn't have much time left.
While battling the Ghost-Faced King, Zhao Kongcheng could clearly feel his own power waning, and the hidden pain gradually returning...
Even the black crescent moons that he swung out were getting smaller and smaller!
The Ghost-Faced King seemed to have sensed the change in his condition, and forcibly consumed his own power to launch an even more ferocious attack!
After exchanging blows for a few more rounds, Ghost Face King seized an opportunity and delivered a powerful punch to Zhao Kongcheng's chest!
Thump—!
A muffled thud echoed in the air, and Zhao Kongcheng flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground!
"Ouch... why does it hurt so much..."
The pain was like a surging wave, washing over every nerve in Zhao Kongcheng's body. He clenched his teeth, his eyes bloodshot.
He coughed up blood as he slowly crawled out of the mud...
His gaze was fixed on the Ghost-Faced King, the flames burning in his eyes still undiminished.
He can still breathe, his forbidden energy is still intact, he can still fight!
The Masked King is not dead yet...He can't fall!
He used his straight sword to support himself on the ground, and stood up unsteadily. Just then, something unexpected happened!
Boom—!!
A loud bang came from behind Zhao Kongcheng, and the sky above his head trembled slightly, cracking open...
This is...
Zhao Kongcheng stared blankly at the sky, then suddenly turned around as if he had thought of something!
Not far behind him, the invisible canvas that obscured the sky had already cracked open...
From within that broken crack, a young man with golden eyes slowly walked out.
Zhao Kongcheng's mouth dropped open, his expression as if he had seen a ghost!
"You, you, you... how did you get in?!"
Lin Qiye brushed aside his rain-soaked hair, his eyes burning like a furnace, intense yet sacred. He sighed helplessly.
"I have to say, this [No-Rules Airspace] is really tough, but luckily I have these eyes to find its weakest point, and luckily... It is night now."
Zhao Kongcheng only understood the first sentence, but that still didn't answer the question in his mind:
"You've only just entered the 'Zhan' Realm, how can you have such power? Wait... you didn't have a weapon, how did you break through the [Boundless Void]?"
"You might not believe it, but I glared at it, and it opened." Lin Qiye said calmly, "I glared at it, and it opened."
Zhao Kongcheng:...
Lin Qiye wasn't lying. With the help of the darkness, he could feel that his eyesight had been greatly enhanced, though not by five times, but by at least twice.
Before obtaining [Starry Night Dancer], he could use the Seraph's Divine Might to single-handedly kill the Ghost Face. After being empowered by the night, he could also use his Divine Might to break through the [Unbound Void].
However, this consumed too much of his mental energy; just one glare nearly drained his mental energy.
Lin Qiye glanced at the Ghost-Faced King, who was covered in wounds, then at the knife marks scattered on the ground. His gaze towards Zhao Kongcheng suddenly turned strange. "You still say you don't have a forbidden realm? This is something a human could create by cutting it open?"
Zhao Kongcheng was too lazy to explain to him, because... his time was really running out."Stop talking nonsense and get out of the way."
"I can fight for you."
"I know, you step aside first." Zhao Kongcheng turned to look at him. "One strike, then I'll strike again. After this strike, you can come and help me then."
"Oh." Lin Qiye stepped aside.
Zhao Kongcheng took a deep breath, gripped the hilt of his knife tightly, and stared intently at the Ghost-Faced King not far away.
"Kid."
"Um?"
"Watch this cut carefully."
"Why?"
"That slash... will be really cool."
"..."Before Lin Qiye could even show an expression of disdain, Zhao Kongcheng slammed his legs off the ground, bursting forth with astonishing speed as he charged toward the Ghost-Faced King!
The Ghost-Faced King seemed to realize that the man before him was nearing the end of his life. Instead of fighting him head-on, he stood guard, ready to defend against his attacks at any moment.
The light in Zhao Kongcheng's eyes was like a lit torch, growing brighter and brighter.
He smashed through the rain and charged towards the Ghost-Faced King.
He crashed through the curtain of rain, rushing towards the Ghost Face King,
without the slightest bit of flashiness,
raising his hand,
swinging his blade.
An unprecedentedly large crescent moon cleaved through the night, streaking across the sky at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, cutting every raindrop in its path in two.
This strike was so fast that even someone as powerful as Ghost Face King couldn't easily dodge it.
Even if it wanted to hide, it couldn't do so in its current state.
And so,
A black crescent moon streaked across the sky.
Gently,They severed off a hideous head with a pale, ghostly face.
