邪神之道 B1

Return of the Ghost King

"Start!"

Yao Lu Xing moves right at the start of the match without holding anything back. His quick steps brought him in front of Ye Gui Feng in less than two seconds.

"...!"

Ye Gui Feng quickly takes a step back as Yao Lu Xing launches out a wide kick. The tip of Yao Lu Xing's foot grazes the front of Ye Gui Feng's chest and makes a cut on his red robe.

With both feet on the ground Yao Lu Xing's hands burst with ghostly blue flames as he launches out a series of palm strikes.

"Kuh!"

Ye Gui Feng continues to dodge at the last moment as his feet quickly reaches the edge of the stage.

As Yao Lu Xing had been far too quick to make his move Ye Gui Feng had been caught off guard putting him in this disadvantageous situation.

A meter away from the end of the stage jet black wings come out of the back of Ye Gui Feng's waist as he takes flight.

Yao Lu Xing remains on the ground while rotating his cultivation base that is at the middle stages of the Core Formation realm.

A ghostly flamed set of chains emerge in Yao Lu Xing's hands as he hurls them towards Ye Gui Feng.

Slapping his storage bag Ye Gui Feng takes out the Sky Serpent Cane and jerks his right arm causing the cane to transform into a long bone whip.

Lashing out with the bone whip the attacks collides with the ghostly blue flames but the flames had an advantage in this situation as it begins to burn the Sky Serpent Cane.

As the flames are about to reach his hand Ye Gui Feng decides to let go of the cane. However, as if expecting Ye Gui Feng to do just that Yao Lu Xing dismisses the chain of flames and brought out his own magic treasure.

The magic treasure is a long silver spear. Kicking off of the ground Yao Lu Xing approaches Ye Gui Feng quickly and unleashes a barrage of stabs at him!

The Heart of the Ice Demon rotates as Ye Gui Feng reaches out his palms to constructs a dense shield of ice to block off Yao Lu Xing's attacks.

The other side clearly has more battle experience than Ye Gui Feng and this gives them a clear advantage.

"Dammit..."

The domineering way of fighting that doesn't give Ye Gui Feng any chances to catch his breath causes him to sweat.

"That's good. Keep at it. I don't mind if you injury him greatly either. In fact do it."

Yao Xie Xian looks on with eyes of excitement at Ye Gui Feng's misfortune. The patriarchs that are close by naturally heard Yao Xie Xian's words as they smile wryly and felt a bit of sympathy towards Ye Gui Feng.

Sucking in a breath of air Ye Gui Feng's eyes burn with determination as he rotates his cultivation base and manipulates the ice shield with the Ice Demon Grand Magic.

"Spike!"

Long spikes protrude from the ice shield as they stab at towards Yao Lu Xing!

"Uh!"

Having gotten far too used to being on the attacking side of the battle Yao Lu Xing reacts sluggishly to the sudden attack.

A few ice spikes managed to graze Yao Lu Xing but he quickly spins the spear in his hands and breaks off the other spikes before backing away in haste.

"Run away?"

Ye Gui Feng's eyes turn cold as he points out a finger.

*Boom!!* dense mists of darkness erupt from Ye Gui Feng's body as baleful howls come forth.

Within an instance Ghostly bodies surround Ye Gui Feng as his long hair dances about in the wind.

"Ghostly Spirit Body?"

"I remember now! That Yao Xieshen was so outrageous in the fourth trial grounds that a manager had to be sent in to get him to leave!"

"He even refused to leave that place! He had to be forcefully tossed out!"

*RAAAAWR!!!!* ghostly bodies converge together as they form a giant skull with beastly fangs.

Upon Ye Gui Feng striking a punch out the skull shoots down at Yao Lu Xing who is in the midst of his retreat.

Without any time to react to the shocking sight of the ghostly skull Yao Lu Xing is devoured!

"Uggaaahhh!!"

Within the maws of the ghostly skull a bloodcurdling shriek comes forth that made the audience grimace!

*Thud!* Yao Lu Xing's body drops back onto the stage as the ghostly skull head dissipates and returns back to Ye Gui Feng in the form of tendril like smoke.

The sight of Yao Lu Xing foaming at the mouth sends many people crying out in shock. They couldn't possibly imagine the kind of suffering that Yao Lu Xing had been subjected to within the maws of the ghostly skull.

"Hmph I let my guard down for a second and this happens."

Descending down from above while surrounding by ghostly bodies and dark mist Ye Gui Feng gives off the same image from his days as the fearsome Ghost King that made the disciples of the three demonic sects from the Moon and Stars Kingdom terrified.

Xiao Ju Hong who sees Ye Gui Feng win the match smiles.

"He's actually still sane?"

"Just how many ghosts are possessing him?"

Retrieving the Sky Serpent Cane Ye Gui Feng casually walks off of the stage and the surrounding people all quickly made way for him to pass.

With the Ghostly Spirit Body active no one wanted to get close to Ye Gui Feng in fear of accidently being subjected to the same treatment as Yao Lu Xing.

"Hahahaha!"

Yao Nie Tian laughs while nodding his head clearly pleased with Ye Gui Feng's counterattack.

"Brother Nie Tian as expected of your son."

"Talented indeed. I'm sure he'll reach far in this competition."

The lower statused patriarchs all suck up to Yao Nie Tian while Yao Xie Xian grinds his teeth together in frustration.

(This damnable little evildoing bitch! I've completely underestimated his Ghostly Spirit Body...!)

Having decided to make Ye Gui Feng's time here on stage as miserable as possible Yao Xie Xian begins to think up of a way to tamper with the selection process.

(Little bitch I'll see to it that you'll suffer painfully.)

As the preliminary matches draws to a close the number of clansmen competing also drops leaving only 50 people behind to continue the competition.

Amongst them is Ye Gui Feng who continues to exude dark mist. He feels like he had a sense of security this way.

"Next match! Yao Xieshen and..."

Right then and there Yao Xie Xian moves his hand beneath his long sleeves and tampers with the drawing.

"Yāo Zhūlìng (妖朱令)!"
