Because just a few dozen breaths ago, she had been standing at that very spot!
"Hiss!"
Upon seeing this, Yun Jiuqing couldn’t help but draw a sharp breath, feeling as if she had just taken a stroll through the Netherworld.
Oh, wait!
She was actually already in the Netherworld, it’s just that this particular part of the Netherworld was more like... a desolate wilderness.
This realization scared her so much that she didn’t even dare to raise her head.
Yun Jiuqing felt that bringing out so many spiritual talismans on this trip was the most correct decision she had made in her life.
If she hadn’t had these talismans to protect her, she might have died at any moment in the aftermath of Daoist Priest Fan’s battle with that strange creature.
And there would be nowhere to even cry about it!
In the midst of this inexplicable horror, Yun Jiuqing couldn’t help but turn her gaze to the Old Blue Ox beside her. She noticed that despite hiding behind the mound just like she was, the expression on the ox’s face was much more composed.
Damn it!
Why was her mental fortitude even inferior to that of an ox?
At this thought,
Yun Jiuqing tried her best to calm down a little and not let herself be overwhelmed by fear.
She took a deep breath, only to nearly choke to death on the Yin Energy of the Underworld.
Fighting the intense discomfort in her lungs,
she mustered her courage,
raised her head,
stretched her neck out, 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
and peeked over.
Immediately!
Yun Jiuqing saw a dark shadow growing larger and larger within her field of vision. As the shadow grew, her eyes widened in kind.
She realized something was flying towards her, and she was desperately urging her body to move faster.
But...
Her body couldn’t react in time.
Yun Jiuqing was struck squarely by the dark mass, feeling as though she had been hit by a battering ram or as if she had been run over headfirst by a galloping carriage.
Her already slight frame was sent flying backwards,
smashing to the ground a dozen or so steps away.
She landed in a disheveled heap,
seeing stars,
her mind in a haze.
"Ouch... my ribs..." Yun Jiuqing was aware of pain all over her body, and her small face contorted in agony, "It feels like... I’ve cracked two ribs..."
Moreover, she felt as if something heavy had landed on her, preventing her from even crawling up.
Struggling to open her eyes with clenched teeth,
she looked down at herself.
Yun Jiuqing was stunned.
What had landed on her was a large chunk of pitch-black material, resembling a block of age-old dark ice, exuding a bone-chilling coldness...
And this thing... felt less like a solid object and more like a Soul Body.
She even saw, to her horror, a ghastly face on the black material.
It was a frozen face that couldn’t move, its expression filled with utter despair and fear. The eyes on that ghostly face were still moving, seemingly pleading,
as if begging Yun Jiuqing, a weak Cultivator, to free it.
Wait a minute!
Yun Jiuqing suddenly realized—wasn’t this part of the body of the Ghost King of the Ten Halls? The frozen ghost face, wasn’t it one of the Ghost Generals it had consumed?
This meant!
Yun Jiuqing looked in the direction of the fierce battle and saw that a huge chunk was missing from the side of the Ghost King of the Ten Halls’ enormous body!
The severed area was unnaturally smooth, as if it had been cut by some sharp instrument.
This...
Clearly was a slash made by Fan Wu’s sword!
The incredible might of the Demon-slaying Sword, combined with Fan Wu’s own "Power" attribute, had created an overwhelming force against the Ghost King of the Ten Halls, leaving the Ghost King utterly helpless before Fan Wu!
So much so that in just a few breaths’ time, the Ghost King had been at a serious disadvantage, a rapid downfall it hadn’t seen coming!
It found the situation inconceivable.
And unbelievable!
It struggled to comprehend how Fan Wu’s strength had grown so alarmingly, so incredibly powerful, in just the blink of an eye?
"You’re only in your twenties in terms of bone age!" the excruciating pain made the Ghost King of the Ten Halls roar with rage.
Fan Wu replied with a smile, "Do you really think strength should be determined by one’s age? Only an old-fashioned fossil like you would cling to such a notion, right?"
Old-fashioned...
Fossil?
The Ghost King of the Ten Halls was seething with fury. Since becoming a Ghost King in the Underworld, it had never suffered such humiliation! And to add insult to injury, the one demeaning it was a youngster so much younger than itself!
Its pride.
Couldn’t stand it!
Its face...
Couldn’t take it!
The colossal figure of the Ghost King of the Ten Halls began to twist and contort violently. Its single, massive vertical pupil flashed with a fierce and malevolent look, as if regarding Fan Wu as a mortal enemy.
Its ghostly body seemed to undergo some strange transformation, but Fan Wu allowed the transformation to continue without interruption, without striking a blow.
In just a few breaths, the massive figure of the Ghost King of the Ten Halls, amidst violent twists and surges, started taking on an obscure humanoid shape.
