One of the prisoners was directly smashed to pieces.
The one who acted was a powerhouse from the Divine Phoenix Empire, the Ice General Xiao Zhi.
Although Sin City was said to be in a no-man’s-land, it was closest to the Divine Phoenix Empire.
As one of the thirteen divine generals of the Divine Phoenix Empire, it would not make sense for Xiao Zhi to stay idle.
“No wonder Xiao Zhi is so much stronger than Xiao Zhan. This fellow probably has tenth cave heaven cultivation.”
Ling Xiao thought to himself.
“Kill!”
Another explosive shout rang out. A sword qi as clear as flowing water sliced through the air, decapitating a prisoner who died miserably on the spot.
The one who acted was Bi Bo Sword Mo Cong.
This person was not old, yet his strength was quite terrifying.
He had originally intended to attach himself to the Water God Temple to obtain the Imperial Seal, but he did not expect the Water God Temple to flee in panic upon seeing Ghost Chonglou. This greatly disappointed him, so he decided on his own to stay.
His father, Mo Chou, did not appear and was probably healing somewhere.
“Exterminate!”
Another expert made a move.
This time, it was Ji Ning from the Heavenly Dynasty Empire.
The current Ji Ning had abandoned the title of Northern Border King and fully become the Guardian Divine General of the Heavenly Dynasty Empire.
Only in the Heavenly Dynasty Empire could he receive true respect and exert his remaining vigour.
His long spear drilled out like a venomous dragon, easily piercing through the body of a small giant.
Ji Ning’s attack was simply domineering. He killed one of the stronger small giants.
At the same time, Leng Mei also acted. Her figure flashed, passing by another small giant. That seventh cave heaven realm small giant had his throat slit on the spot and died miserably.
“Light Shadow Divine Cone!”
Ling Xiao also made a move. The Light Shadow Divine Cone drilled into the crowd, directly piercing through a prisoner’s body. That prisoner was immediately hacked to death by chaotic blades.
These scenes of battle allowed the originally panicked warriors to recover once more.
They had no reason to fear.
Although the enemies were powerful, their side was not weak either.
Even though many had left, the people from the Divine Phoenix Empire, Heavenly Dynasty Empire, and Bi Bo Island had not departed. Moreover, quite a few reclusive experts were among the crowd.
What exactly were they afraid of?
“Kill!”
Finally, some people began to boil with hot blood.
At this moment, the battle was not only for the Imperial Seal but also for survival.
For them, only by exterminating the people from the Ghost God Temple could they possibly live.
The Ghost God Temple’s arrogance and domineering ways were also courting their own destruction.
“Damn it!”
Ghost Chonglou’s brows furrowed.
The battle had developed to this point and had not followed his script, which caught him somewhat off guard.
In his fury, he finally decided to act.
“Ghost God Dogs, return!”
With an explosive shout, the thirteen Ghost God Dogs surprisingly turned into thirteen black lights and entered Ghost Chonglou’s body.
At the same time, behind Ghost Chonglou appeared a huge black monstrous dog.
This dog actually had three heads. Its body was enormous, and every drop of saliva that fell turned into scalding magma.
“Three-headed dog martial soul?”
Ling Xiao could not help but be stunned for a moment.
He had long heard that on the Purgatory Continent, there were many extremely rare and strange beast martial souls.
This three-headed dog martial soul was one of them.
Rumour had it that the three-headed dog was a monstrous beast guarding the underworld.
Why it had come to the Profound Realm was unknown, but people who possessed this martial soul were generally very powerful.
No wonder the thirteen Ghost God Dogs earlier would not die even if their bodies were smashed. It turned out they were actually Ghost Chonglou’s martial soul. That explained it.
“Ghost General! Ghost General!”
The remaining prisoners and small giants retreated behind Ghost Chonglou, shouting loudly.
In their minds, Ghost Chonglou was an invincible existence.
At the very least, on the first three continents, he was absolutely unmatched.
“Heh heh heh, this general underestimated you, but from now on, you will still die without doubt!”
A cold and ferocious smile appeared on Ghost Chonglou’s face.
The warriors who had already been filled with fighting spirit began to tremble once again.
Ji Ning, Mo Cong, Leng Mei, Xiao Zhi, and others all showed solemn expressions.
Ghost Chonglou was truly too strong.
On the first three continents, a third-level Yin-Yang Realm expert was basically invincible.
Dark aura spread throughout the entire Chang Le Square. Even Ling Xiao felt his body trembling slightly.
But fortunately.
The vast aura from the Mountains and Rivers Martial Soul surged forth, instantly shielding him from that dark aura.
He inwardly exclaimed how lucky he was, then called over Leng Mei and Ji Ning, having them stand within his cave heaven domain.
This way, they could receive protection from the mountains and rivers aura.
“Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor, what should we do next? Should we compete for the Imperial Seal?”
Ji Ning asked.
“In this situation, there is no need to be so formal. Just call me Ling Xiao.”
Ling Xiao frowned. He did not want his relationship with Ji Ning to become distant just because he had become the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty.
“Alright, what do you think, Ling Xiao? This Ghost Chonglou is incredibly powerful. Unless the Moon Maiden is willing to act, no one can restrain him.”
Ji Ning asked.
“Sister Moon Maiden is in seclusion. There is no need to disturb her. For today’s matter, we do not need to intervene either. Let us withdraw.”
Ling Xiao smiled and said, “It is just a fake Imperial Seal. Even if they fight until their heads bleed over it, it has nothing to do with us.”
“What?”
Ji Ning was stunned. He had not expected this situation at all.
“No need to be so surprised. Great General, do you still not understand me? With my current strength being insufficient, I naturally have to use more strategies. The appearance of the Ghost God Temple was an accident, but it basically did not deviate from my considerations.”
Ling Xiao smiled.
“You fellow, you have truly played all the heroes of the world like fools. If they knew the truth, they would tear you into ten thousand pieces.”
Ji Ning sighed.
“The only people who know about this are the three of us. As long as you two do not say anything and I do not say anything, no one else will know. This will become a complete and utter secret.”
Ling Xiao said with a smile, “Alright, while Ghost Chonglou has not attacked yet, let us withdraw first.”
However, just as Ling Xiao tried to leave Chang Le Square, the remaining prisoners all gathered together and blocked his path.
“Others can leave, but you cannot.”
Ghost Chonglou said coldly.
“Ghost Chonglou, others may not know, but I do. You hurried from the White Tiger Continent to Sin City. To conceal it from other powerhouses, you used the ‘soul-body separation’ method. This technique will reduce your strength to seventy or eighty percent for nearly a month.”
Ling Xiao turned to look at Ghost Chonglou and said, “Originally, I did not want to reveal this, but since you insist on keeping me here, you cannot blame me.”
“Stinking brat!”
Ghost Chonglou’s expression turned grim and unsightly.
He truly had not expected that even the Medicine King Sun Ran could not see through this, yet this kid had figured it out.
Could it be that this kid was even more terrifying than the Medicine King Sun Ran?
Of course, he did not know that Ling Xiao had the Taiji Eye, which allowed him to observe the flow of inner force within his body.
