Meanwhile, Lu Ming and the others were locked in combat.
Big Yellow was leading Wang Defa, Xue Wuchang, and the rest to clash with Ghost General Mo Tuo and the other Ghost Generals.
“Let's finish this quickly! We can't let the pill's effects wear off!”
This was because Big Yellow and his group had managed to regain their combat power.
Lu Ming had recently developed a pill that could temporarily alter their bodies' aura.
Once consumed, their bodies would be filled with yin energy, making them look just like ghosts.
However, this pill was only effective on Big Yellow and his companions.
For some unknown reason—perhaps due to Man Xiong's physical body refining—it had no effect on him whatsoever.
If Man Xiong could have regained his combat power, beating these guys up would have been a walk in the park.
“A hungry dog pounces on its prey!”
Big Yellow barked loudly, slamming directly into Ghost General Mo Tuo and sending him flying.
“Cough, cough...”
Ghost General Mo Tuo flew backward and crashed heavily to the ground.
With his ghostly energy churning, Ghost General Mo Tuo stared in shock at Big Yellow—the very dog that had once been hung up and beaten in the Artifact Forging Pavilion.
“How are you this strong?!”
“Of course I am! Since you're not a total lost cause, as long as you submit to Yama, I can spare your life!”
Big Yellow barked, his eyes locked on Ghost General Mo Tuo.
“I will never betray Ghost King Hei Dun...”
Ghost General Mo Tuo replied. He stood back up, circulated his ghostly energy, and clashed with Big Yellow once more.
“I gave you a chance. If you don't appreciate it, don't blame me!”
Big Yellow muttered, pulling out his mace.
Circulating the spiritual energy of the peak Soul Transformation stage within his body, he swung the mace directly at Ghost General Mo Tuo.
Ghost General Mo Tuo hastily whipped out his weapon to block the strike.
“Boom!”
Ghost General Mo Tuo's whip shattered instantly, and he was sent flying once more.
Following that, his ghostly energy trembled violently before dispersing. He was in terrible shape.
Big Yellow gave Ghost General Mo Tuo a complicated look.
He raised his mace. He would never allow anyone who posed a threat to his brothers to remain alive.
Seeing the massive shadow of the mace looming over him, Ghost General Mo Tuo glanced toward Ghost King Hei Dun, who was still locked in battle with Huang Tianbao.
“My King, I have repaid your life-saving grace with my own. I am sorry about the Immortal Saber...”
If he hadn't stolen the Immortal Saber and allowed Lu Ming to refine it... perhaps Ghost King Hei Dun could have easily defeated Yama...
The moment the words “I am sorry” left his mouth, Ghost General Mo Tuo's ghostly form dissolved, and his dense ghostly energy dispersed into the void.
Big Yellow picked up Ghost General Mo Tuo's broken whip and charged toward the other Ghost Generals.
He needed to deal with these Ghost Generals as quickly as possible so he could go help Lu Ming and the others.
Hearing Big Yellow's warning, Wang Defa and the others also understood that their restored combat power wouldn't last long, so they unleashed their ultimate moves right from the start.
“Boom! Boom!”
Instantly, waves of energy rolled across the open ground in front of the grand hall, causing the void to tremble.
One after another, the Ghost Generals fell at their hands.
Seeing their Ghost Generals die one by one, the other Ghost Kings were also deeply shocked.
They never expected Yama's subordinates to be this formidable.
After all, Fengdu City had basically possessed no high-end combat power other than Yama himself in the past.
Whenever they deployed their Ghost Generals, Yama would always have to step in personally.
Meanwhile, Ghost King Hei Dun looked at Big Yellow and the others, feeling a deep, agonizing regret.
If he had known these guys were so powerful, he would never have let Yama take them away!
While the Ghost Kings were lost in thought, Huang Tianbao seized an opening in their coordination.
The Ten Thousand Soul Banner erupted with its full power for an instant, heavily wounding Ghost King Huang Dun.
Half of his body was nearly dragged into the Hundred Million Soul Banner...
However, Huang Tianbao was also struck by the counterattacks of Ghost King Hei Dun and the others.
He spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward.
“Old Third!”
Seeing this, Lu Ming grew anxious. His spiritual energy surged as he pushed his body refining technique to its absolute limit.
By now, several of the defensive magical artifacts he wore had already shattered.
These old fossils from the ancient clans were truly difficult to deal with.
Ever since he smashed Baili Mo's broadsword and Yan Linglong's black umbrella, the three of them had refused to engage him in close quarters, relying entirely on ranged attacks instead!
This had caused Lu Ming quite a bit of trouble. Had he not worn so many defensive magical artifacts, he would have been in serious trouble by now!
Held in Lu Ming's hand, Ye Fan was also shocked by Lu Ming's methods.
He realized that this guy was even more difficult to deal with than when he himself had been Ye Qingcheng.
It seems choosing to go undercover by his side was the right move!
Otherwise, if I had faced him head-on, I might have failed...
At the same time, he cursed Fa Zhen and the other old fossils in his mind.
They are Half-Immortal powerhouses, for goodness' sake! Even if their combat power is suppressed, they shouldn't be performing this poorly!
In reality, the three of them were simply wary of each other and were holding back their true strength.
After all, they didn't feel it was the critical moment to go all out just yet.
But the moment the protective azure glow lit up around Lu Ming,
Fa Zhen and the others couldn't help but gasp in shock:
“Are you a Qingshan Sect disciple?!”
Lu Ming was also taken aback. Did they not know he was from the Qingshan Sect?
He had assumed that Emperor Tianqi and the others had already told them everything about his background!
In truth, Fa Zhen and the others couldn't be blamed.
They had always assumed Lu Ming was just an exceptionally talented genius.
They had never paid any attention to his actual identity.
Had they not fought him today, Lu Ming wouldn't have even registered on their radar.
Looking at the astonished gazes of Fa Zhen and the others,
Lu Ming's heart stirred. These guys had actually recognized his sect just from his body refining technique!
It seems the Qingshan Sect was truly formidable in the past! Even these ancient clans know of it.
But how did such a powerful sect decline to such a miserable state?
Since they had recognized his identity, they would surely cause trouble for his sect once they left this place.
He had originally planned to rely on Man Xiong's protection.
But after getting to know him, he realized that Man Xiong's Ancient Barbarian Clan had also fallen from grace; Man Xiong and his younger sister possessed the highest cultivation in their entire tribe...
With this thought, a surge of killing intent filled Lu Ming's heart. He had to kill these guys today.
Otherwise, the Qingshan Sect wouldn't be able to withstand their retaliation once they left.
He certainly didn't want them to scare the Grand Elder and the others!
Meanwhile, seeing the expressions on Fa Zhen and the others, Ye Fan couldn't help but wonder out of curiosity. Is this Qingshan Sect really that powerful?
Even these ancient powerhouses know about it?
When he was in the Tiansheng Sect, he had some understanding of the Qingshan Sect.
The Qingshan Sect was once the number one sect on the Xuantian Continent!
Looking at it now, the Qingshan Sect is definitely not as simple as it seems!
But judging by Lu Ming's behavior, they don't seem like a powerful sect at all.
After all, this guy picked up everything in sight wherever he went!
He would dig three feet into the ground just to scavenge.
He collected things regardless of whether they were valuable or not!
If the Qingshan Sect is really that formidable, its disciples shouldn't be so poor that they look like they haven't seen money in eight lifetimes!
Especially back when Lu Ming joined the Qingshan Sect, their spirit boat was so dilapidated that it was practically falling apart!
All sorts of doubts drifted through Ye Fan's mind, leaving him thoroughly perplexed.
Ultimately, he made up his mind. It didn't matter what sect Lu Ming belonged to!
He had to kill him for revenge.
He and Lu Ming shared a blood feud that spanned multiple lifetimes!
If he didn't avenge this, he was not fit to be called human!
