Chapter 517 - 519: Destroy the Immortal Ghost
Chapter 517: Chapter 519: Destroy the Immortal Ghost
“Why… why isn’t it healing?”
Soon, the Demon Lord Lujiang, who only had his head left, realized something and asked in confusion and disbelief.
“You are the Spiritual God of the land; how could such a minor sword power possibly injure you!”
“Come back to life!!”
The Demon Lord Lujiang became somewhat anxious. He was now reduced to nothing but a head, enduring such immense pain and even prepared to sacrifice his own flesh and blood!
“Roar!!!!!!”
The Ground Immortal Ghost suddenly let out a roar like a wild beast, its body had been absorbing the power of the Earth Spirit before it was crushed, but it failed to assimilate even the slightest bit.
Its body was dissipating; it was truly dying.
What’s more critical is that there was a parasite inside its body screaming and causing chaos!
The frenzied Ground Immortal Ghost suddenly morphed a stone claw and violently grabbed the Demon Lord Lujiang’s head.
A squeeze!
Lujiang’s head burst open!!
The Demon Lord’s face was filled with horror and confusion, but that face, along with the shattered head, was also destroyed!
The Demon Lord Lujiang could no longer question anything. He believed his flesh would fuse into the Ground Immortal Ghost’s body, but the Ground Immortal Ghost simply didn’t accept such dirty chunks of flesh.
What it needed was the spirit of the earth, only that could allow its entire body to heal again and crush all living beings before it, turning them into sacrificial livestock!!
But it had been deprived of the power of Earth Spirit and lost that divine skill, it became a mere ground ghost, not a Ground Immortal!
The Ground Immortal Ghost collapsed. It turned into a pile of lifeless ruin that, under the overwhelming pressure of Heavenly Shadow, did not even stay intact, turning into a mound of mud!
Sheathing his sword, Zhu Minglang stood amidst the dust of the Immortal Ghost. As someone who had offered his first Spirit Key to the Soul Collecting Pearl Brewing, he naturally did not forget to collect his spoils of war at such times.
The Ground Immortal Ghost, a Lower Level King, but because it possessed powerful divine skills, even some Middle-level King powerhouses often couldn’t eradicate them. Yet now, it had been thoroughly killed by Zhu Minglang’s sword.
Soul Beads, Soul Beads…
Zhu Minglang soon found that the Soul Beads he collected were exceptionally pure, of even higher quality than from the two Dragon Kings he had killed!
Was it because of the offerings it received, or did the Ground Immortal Ghost inherently contain some power of the Earth God? The soul bead radiated a very special divine aura, and there was a faint semblance of the effect of an Ancient Lantern Jade.
The life force was incredibly strong. Although it wasn’t on par with an Ancient Lantern Jade that could nourish the soul, it was enough to prolong life and, in a moment of critical injuries and near death, cling onto life.
He remembered the only permit to enter the Dragon Country in Imperial City was such a lantern jade imbued with a large amount of life force. Unexpectedly, the Soul Bead of the Ground Immortal Ghost also had this effect!
Using it for dragon nurturing and improving cultivation wasn’t practical, but the Immortal Ghost Lantern Soul Bead was extremely useful!
Zhu Minglang was very pleased. He safely collected the Immortal Ghost Soul Bead. When his gaze once again turned to the foot of the mountain, he just happened to see the Barbarian Demon Lord and the Summoning Demon Masters having just climbed up the mountain path…
They had finally waited until the Tomb Sinking Sword dissipated and even planned to follow in the footsteps of the Immortal Ghost to wipe out the Sword Manor entirely. However, just as they climbed up, they witnessed the moment Zhu Minglang obliterated the Ground Immortal Ghost.
His eyes, like the fiery eyes of a demon and with a captivating divine radiance, made the entire Summoning Demon Sect disciples tremble with fright at just a glance from Zhu Minglang!
Especially the Barbarian Demon Lord, who tumbled and scrambled down the hillside, no longer daring to attack. He only hoped that Zhu Minglang, the Demon God, would not chase after them.
Too terrifying!!
At first, he had spoken of a nobody, and he had almost believed it!
Clearly, it was a Fire Sword Immortal Monarch. It was his own ignorance as a common being from the wilds, never having heard the name of the Sword Immortal Monarch!!
No wonder the White Robe Sword Sect would come out in full force, leaving less than a hundred people to guard the mountain. It turned out they had such a Sword Immortal with them!
The Barbarian Demon Lord fled like a mangy dog, having lost the might to shatter the mountain gate as before, and the other members of the Summoning Demon Sect fared even worse than dogs, nothing but roaches and vermin. If only they could burrow through mountains like the Blood Helm Demon Centipedes, they too would want to flee this place in such a way!!
The Ground Immortal Ghost they relied on is dead!
The god they worshipped is dead!
There is a true Sword God on the mountain!!!
…
With their ranks scattered like loose sand, Zhu Minglang couldn’t be bothered to waste his time chasing them down.
Allowing the Sword Spirit Dragon to return to the Spirit Realm for rest, Zhu Minglang himself also took a moment to recuperate before returning to the front gate of Sword Manor.
“The followers of the Summoning Demon Sect have left on their own accord,” Zhu Minglang announced to the members of the White Robe Sword Sect.
“Left on their own accord…” The Sword Masters of the White Robe Sword Sect were churning inside, still not quite having come to their senses.
If they left on their own accord, why did those believers who were frightened by that look choose to leap to their deaths in the valley?
Wasn’t it because they thought you, Zhu Minglang, were going to pursue them?
To exterminate an entire branch of the Summoning Demon Sect single-handedly, such strength is surely something the several Sword Sovereigns of the White Robe Sword Sect admire but cannot match.
Why hadn’t they realized in all these days past that Brother Zhu was a Little Sword Immortal who roamed the four seas??
Ye Youying was similarly astonished.
The invincible Immortal Ghost had actually been killed by Zhu Minglang!
It wasn’t just any Immortal Ghost, not a River Immortal Ghost or a Forest Immortal Ghost, but a Ground Immortal Ghost, second only to the Mountain Immortal Ghost!!
A Ground Immortal Ghost already counts as an existence with a divine method; even the sovereigns of the major powers were powerless against a Ground Immortal Ghost, otherwise, why would the Demon Lord Lujiang behave so wildly, coming to annihilate the White Robe Sword Sect!
How could such a supreme Sword Sovereign be camping and barbecuing in the wild, practising something as mundane as the Flying Sword like any ordinary wandering disciple, and act like a salted fish, avoiding getting involved in big trouble?
Isn’t he the one with the ability to turn the world upside down??
The elderly teacher at this time looked at Zhu Minglang, equally at a loss for words.
For an old senior like him, even uttering a phrase like “This child is extraordinary, he is bound to achieve greatness” would clearly be an insult!
Do we even need to wait for the future? He is already swiftly surpassing the vast majority of Sword Sovereigns, rapidly approaching the realms of those veteran Sword Gods!
“Honored teacher, I think there might still be some followers of the demon sect lurking in the mountains, planning a counterattack. It would be best if you could teach me a few moves of the Flying Sword Technique, so I can deter them and make them wary,” Zhu Minglang said seriously, glancing at the white-haired teacher.
“…” The white-haired teacher was speechless.
This was clearly him trying to wheedle out sword techniques!
Those followers of the demon sect had already left the mountain, renouncing evil for a monastic life; they had no intention of a counterattack!
Lín Zhong and Ming Xiu also hadn’t expected that such a powerful person could be so shamelessly thick-skinned!
“I will only perform it once,” the white-haired teacher knew the other party was interested in the Flying Sword Technique, and since he had resolved such a great crisis for the White Robe Sword Sect, it seemed only right to impart some secretive techniques.
The Sword Masters of the White Robe Sword Sect frowned heavily.
The teacher was clearly only planning to teach Zhu Minglang alone.
Were they too foolish to be worthy of learning his advanced Flying Sword Art?
“Perhaps you should demonstrate it a few more times. Given that my eyes are poor and my mind is slow, I might overlook some of the essence,” Zhu Minglang said joyfully, also adding a touch of modesty.
Lín Zhong, Ming Xiu, and the other Sword Masters had their eyes light up; they hadn’t expected this Little Sword God to be so understanding!
It was that phrase “eyes poor and mind slow” that made it hard for everyone to accept; it left them, a group of Sword Masters, without worse terms to describe their own comprehension.
