The Master of Beasts-Chapter 654 - 184

"Whew"

Speeding all the way, Gu Zhengyu and his two companions finally arrived at an Immortal City near Purple Sun Mountain.

"It's really quiet here!" Gu Zhengyu said with a heavy expression.

", Ever since the massive ghost attacks, there have been very few cultivators in the nearby Immortal Cities." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Everyone, be cautious. There might be remnants of ghost monsters here."

"Our mission also includes clearing out nearby ghost monsters!" Tian Yue said with a serious look on his face.

"Swish!"

A broad red maple leaf nailed a long-armed ghost monster to the ground.

The black-red blood slowly seeped out, and after a few low, sharp wails, the creature lost its breath.

"It's a long-armed ghost, be careful. These types of ghosts usually do not appear alone. There should be quite a few doll ghosts around!"

As Tian Yue finished speaking, several doll ghosts the size of adult heads crawled out from the shadows not far away, letting out sharp explosions.

Merging two fingers together, Gu Zhengyu pointed at the doll ghosts, releasing numerous small blue sword qi that pierced through their bodies, exploding into clouds of blood mist.

"Finished..."

"Before the word 'finished' was out, numerous doll ghosts crawled out from all directions, and in the distance, a few large ghost monsters could be vaguely seen."

"It's actually a mother-child ghost!" Tian Yue was somewhat stunned.

Doll ghosts typically do not appear alone, but when mixed with other ghost monsters, their numbers aren't usually many.

However, when they appear alongside a Ghost Mother, it's a different story; their numbers could only be described as overwhelming.

"Humans!"

A voice like grinding stones came from one of the Ghost Mothers' mouths.

"So, how's it going? Can you handle it?" Tian Yue pressed one hand on the ground, causing numerous stone walls to rise from the ground, temporarily blocking the doll ghosts' attacks.

Gu Zhengyu hesitated for a moment, glanced at Qiu Ruo who had just broken through to Heavenly Immortal, and Tian Yue, who had lost an arm and whose combat strength had greatly declined, then gritted his teeth and said, "Leave it to me, but I need some time!"

"Alright!" Tian Yue looked deeply at Gu Zhengyu without asking more questions.

A ghost mother capable of massive reproduction was actually considered farmed food in the Underworld, but that doesn't mean one should underestimate them; their strength is exceedingly strong, almost reaching the pinnacle of Three Flowers Heavenly Immortal!

However, due to racial characteristics, a Ghost Mother's actual combat power doesn't match its cultivation, but its life force is exceedingly strong. When paired with a large number of doll ghosts, a typical Three Flowers Heavenly Immortal practitioner fighting it to the end would likely end up dead themselves.

"@#￥%...&..."

Complicated spells were uttered by Gu Zhengyu, as a blue sword qi continuously gathered, swirling around him.

As time went by, the number of blue sword qi increased, and even these sword qi were swallowing and spitting out smaller sword qi!

"Crack"

"Not good, I can't hold it!" Tian Yue's face changed color.

While the cultivation of doll ghosts was only around the True Immortal Tenth Layer Heaven level, their sheer numbers were overwhelming. Having lost a hand, Tian Yue, though saying it doesn't affect him much, actually had a significant drop in combat power. If he were in his previous uninjured state, he could have held them off for at least one more quarter-hour.

"Boom"

The Ghost Mother's giant hand smashed through one of the stone walls, closing in with its large ugly face; green saliva flowed uncontrollably between its black teeth, corroding the ground into a big pit!

"Hehehe, humans, delicious!"

"Clang"

Gu Zhengyu's eyes widened in anger, the sword qi around him continuously emitted sword cries, resonating in everyone's ears like sharp weapons unsheathing.

"Divine Skill - Heavenly River Sword!"

"Hua la la"

A large amount of blue sword qi flew out through the breach, blocking the Ghost Mother's massive face at the gap, instantly slicing it into pieces without letting out a scream, the entire head turned into tiny bits of flesh.

"Buzz buzz buzz"

The trembling, even more fiercely vibrating sword qi, sliced each doll ghost in half. In just a few breaths, it cleared the closest surrounding doll ghosts, leaving scattered limbs everywhere.

Most of the sword qi then combined into several massive broadswords, striking down at the remaining three Ghost Mothers!

"Roar!"

The perceiving danger, the Ghost Mothers did not sit idly, hastily deploying their most powerful life-saving divine skills.

Black goo continuously exuded from their bodies, enveloping their massive forms.

The broadswords, upon contact with the goo, were instantly stripped of most of their power, unable to cause significant harm to the Ghost Mothers.

Seeing this scene, Gu Zhengyu's face changed, and he sighed, "As expected, it's still not enough. It seems I have no choice but to do this!"

He traced a finger across his palm, causing a large amount of blood to jet out from the wound, dyeing the blue flying swords red, as an invisible aura of killing intent began to permeate the whole place!

"Blood Technique?" Qiu Ruo was somewhat surprised.

Though Blood Techniques were a type of magic, the conditions for casting them often involved blood or souls, and although powerful, they had considerable side effects, which led many sects to classify them as evil techniques.

"It should be the Blood Enhancement Technique!" Tian Yue thought for a moment.

This Blood Technique could amplify the power of divine skills, but its cost was considerable, requiring the caster to continuously consume blood. How much was needed depended largely on the power of the amplified divine skill and how much amplification was needed!

"No!"

One of the slightly weaker Ghost Mothers suddenly roared in unwilling anger as the blood-blue broadsword sliced through the mucus, landing hard on the Ghost Mother's large face.

"Puchi"

The Ghost Mother, split in two, seemed to try to reassemble, but some attached substance on the wound surface prevented it from healing!
