Seeing Huang Tianbao charging forward as well, Ghost King Hei Dun and the others took one look at the situation!
Three against three—no matter how they fought, they felt they had zero chance of winning!
After all, even when it was five against one earlier, they still couldn't defeat Huang Tianbao.
Furthermore, witnessing the deaths of Ghost King Huang Dun and the others had utterly terrified Hei Dun and the other two Ghost Kings!
They could truly end up dead!
Without a second thought, the three Ghost Kings prepared to flee.
As long as they kept their lives, they could always return for revenge another day!
Realizing their intentions, Lu Ming and Huang Tianbao intensified their attacks.
Having fought to this point, how could they possibly let them escape?
“Boom...”
Brandishing Ye Fan, Lu Ming smashed him toward Ghost King Hei Dun once more.
An ear-splitting explosion erupted as shattered rocks and ghostly energy splattered in all directions.
Lu Ming staggered back several paces, a trace of blood leaking from the corner of his mouth.
Lu Ming couldn't help but grit his teeth. Fucking hell, that hurts!
He felt as if every single bone in his body was trembling, wracked with non-stop, excruciating pain.
Especially his chest, where several ghastly, bone-deep gashes tore across his torso, his flesh ripped open.
By now, Ghost King Hei Dun had completely lost his previous ferocious bravado.
His hideous ghostly face was filled with utter terror and panic.
Looking at the shattered ghostly bodies littering the ground and the rapidly fading auras of his companions, the courage in Ghost King Hei Dun's heart completely shattered.
Having blocked Lu Ming's blow, Ghost King Hei Dun's ghostly energy surged violently and began to dissipate.
But he couldn't care less about that now. Wrapping himself in billowing black mist, he spun around and fled into the distance at full speed.
All he wanted now was to escape this godforsaken place as fast as possible.
“Thinking of leaving?”
Two cold, raspy words escaped Lu Ming's lips.
In the next instant, Lu Ming suppressed the surging blood and excruciating pain within him.
Gritting his teeth, his dantian spun frantically as he funneled all of his spiritual energy into Ye Fan.
Then, gripping Ye Fan tightly, he hurled him ruthlessly at Ghost King Hei Dun's retreating figure.
Whoosh...
Shrouded in black light, Ye Fan whistled through the air, hurtling straight toward Ghost King Hei Dun.
Sensing the danger from behind as he fled, Ghost King Hei Dun squeezed out every last drop of his potential, running like mad...
He believed that as long as he ran fast enough, the danger wouldn't be able to catch up to him.
And yet, despite putting some distance between them, Ghost King Hei Dun was still caught by Ye Fan.
As he chased after Ghost King Hei Dun, Ye Fan had briefly hesitated. Should he hold back?
In the end, he decided not to.
After all, he had cooperated all this way and helped smash so many people to death.
He had finally earned Lu Ming's trust.
He couldn't afford to mess up now!
He had to perform well. Worried that this strike might not kill Ghost King Hei Dun, Ye Fan even mobilized his own power to bolster the attack.
“Bang...”
Accompanied by a massive explosion, Ghost King Hei Dun's massive body shattered into pieces.
Instantly turning into black ash, he dissipated into the void.
Upon Ghost King Hei Dun's death, a beam of black light also shot into the sky and vanished into the void.
The battlefield instantly fell silent.
Seeing Ghost King Hei Dun die, Lu Ming's tightly strung mind finally reached its limit.
Feeling all the strength instantly drain from his body, his figure swayed. Unable to support himself any longer, he collapsed straight toward the ground.
Seeing this, Ye Fan was overjoyed. It's here, it's here! The opportunity is finally here...
There's no way you won't die this time.
Ye Fan hurriedly mobilized his internal power, controlling his body to fly toward Lu Ming.
“Boss!”
“Great Sect Master!”
"..."
By now, Big Yellow and the others had also noticed Lu Ming's condition. They hurriedly charged out of the protective array and ran toward him.
Just as Ye Fan, Big Yellow, and the others were about to reach Lu Ming's side, the space suddenly rumbled violently.
A massive vortex appeared directly above their heads.
An overbearing force of repulsion instantly enveloped the entire battlefield.
At the same time, Huang Tianbao was already floating in mid-air, a massive beam of black light shining down upon him.
It made his entire countenance appear incredibly majestic and overbearing!
As it turned out, Man Xiong and Huang Tianbao had cooperated just moments ago, working in tandem to slay Ghost King Hong Dun and Ghost King Bai Dun.
With the death of the final Ghost King, a sudden mutation occurred.
The five tokens previously sacrificed by the Five Great Ghost Kings all gathered above, forming a circle that burst with blinding light.
At the same time, the imperial seal summoned by Huang Tianbao also erupted with radiant splendor, its aura even more dominant.
As the imperial seal's light expanded, the light from the five tokens was completely drawn to it, continuously flowing into the seal.
Then, a massive, dazzling pillar of light crashed down, firmly enveloping Huang Tianbao.
At the same time, a vortex appeared in the void, and Ye Fan and the others also felt the powerful repulsive force.
Seeing Lu Ming within arm's reach, Ye Fan was nearly driven mad with rage.
Just a little more, just a little more... Just a tiny bit more, and I could have smashed that damned mortal to death.
“Boss...”
“Great Sect Master...”
Amidst the alarmed cries of Big Yellow and the others, as well as Ye Fan's sheer unwillingness, a blinding white light instantly consumed everything, leaving no room for anyone to stay.
In the next second, all the outsiders, including Lu Ming, were forcibly ejected from the Xuantian Great World.
“Thud...”
A weakened Lu Ming fell heavily onto the ground.
“Thump!”
Right at that moment, Ye Fan was tossed onto the ground not far from Lu Ming.
Ye Fan, who had still been fuming, was suddenly overjoyed upon seeing this.
Talk about a turn for the better!
He had thought he had lost his chance and would have to go back into hiding.
Who would have thought that Heaven was still looking out for him?
The opportunity had dropped right in front of him out of thin air.
If he couldn't seize it this time, he would have lived his lives in vain!
Looking at Lu Ming, who lay there with a pale face and closed eyes,
Ye Fan felt that if he had a heart, it would be pounding wildly right now.
He felt that even when he became an Immortal Emperor in his past, past, past... life, he hadn't been this excited.
Wasting no more time, Ye Fan channeled his internal power, soared into the air, and smashed down toward the unconscious Lu Ming.
With this strike, he would absolutely obliterate Lu Ming's soul.
Whoosh...!!
“Bang!”
Just as Ye Fan was about to reach Lu Ming, Lu Ming suddenly snapped his eyes open.
“Holy shit!”
Ye Fan was so shocked that he blurted out a curse.
However, he wasn't too worried.
After all, he knew exactly how severe Lu Ming's injuries were right now.
“Go to hell, you damned mortal!”
Lu Ming frowned slightly. That phrase sounds a bit familiar...
Why is it that whenever some guys try to kill me, they love to yell 'damned mortal'?
I'm not even a mortal, am I?
Right then, Ye Fan slammed into Lu Ming.
“Wait, what's going on?!”
Ye Fan couldn't help but cry out in alarm. He realized that upon approaching Lu Ming, all the power in his body had suddenly vanished!
“Boom...”
At that exact moment, Lu Ming began to circulate his cultivation technique with all his might!
The familiar vortex materialized before Ye Fan's eyes.
Seeing this vortex, Ye Fan turned pale with horror. He knew all too well how terrifying it was.
Last time, it was after entering this very vortex that he had been shredded to death by Lu Ming's bizarre dantian!
The memory terrified him, and he scrambled to retreat.
But he quickly discovered that he could no longer control his own body.
“How is this possible?!”
Uncontrollably, he was sucked straight into the vortex formed by Lu Ming's technique!
Watching Ye Fan plunge into the vortex, Lu Ming sneered and muttered,
“Did you really think I wouldn't leave any backdoors when I was forging and reinforcing you?”
