Chapter 879: Chapter 140: High-Grade Ghost King, Nothing Special!_2

After that, a ghost and a flood dragon engaged in a fierce battle,

but the Purple Flood Dragon was only Tier Four Low-Grade; although it could rely on divine techniques to contend with this Tier Four Ghost King, its stamina was insufficient.

Moreover, it had used some forbidden moves against the previous ghost kings,

so it quickly fell into a disadvantage, just as it was about to take out its trump card,

as the saying goes, when it rains, it pours, another Tier Four Ghost King caught up.

It was struggling to handle one, much less two; even if it used the trump card to kill one, it couldn’t deal with the other.

Thinking of this, it had no choice but to flee,

though unwilling in its heart, it did not hesitate to pay a great price to activate its life-saving divine technique,

successfully escaping hundreds of miles away,

and then continued fleeing at full speed regardless of the loss of its demonic power foundation.

But unexpectedly, those two Ghost Kings, being Tier Four High-Grade, persisted in pursuit, holding on tightly.

Even more despairing was that as time passed, more and more Ghost Kings gathered around.

Thus, it fled for a full five days, hesitating whether to use a method that would permanently damage its potential and foundation to survive.

Suddenly——

Fighting sounds emanated faintly from ahead, filling its heart with joy as it immediately changed direction to fly towards it.

Once it was within a hundred miles of the spot,

it instantly saw two extremely familiar figures.

"Isn’t that... Daoist Wangchuan and Daoist Tianci... Hahaha, heaven has not abandoned me!"

It was well aware of the power of True Monarch Wangchuan Zhou Xun and True Monarch Tianci Ji Yin,

having personally battled with them years ago.

True Monarch Wangchuan was a much stronger existence than itself, not to mention he was also a Thunder Cultivator, effective against the Ghost Race.

Handling one High-Grade Ghost King would be no problem.

As for True Monarch Tianci, although not as strong as itself, the gap was minimal, plus he was now Middle-Stage Nascent Soul,

his power sure to have increased, possibly reaching Great Cultivator battle strength.

This way, they could handle the two Tier Four High-Grade Ghost Kings, and with itself added, might even defeat them.

So it pursued without hesitation.

But unexpectedly, Zhou Xun and True Monarch Tianci also noticed it,

pouring mana generously into their flying treasure, reaching top speed, they were fleeing, trying to shake it off!

???

The Purple Flood Dragon Demon Emperor immediately disregarded its already overdrawn demon body, forcefully boosting its demonic power, pursuing closely,

fortunately, not long after flying, the two seemed to grow a conscience and stopped, making the Purple Flood Dragon Demon Emperor quite glad, immediately rushing over.

...

"Daoist Zhou, Daoist Ji, long time no see!" Upon reaching them, the Purple Flood Dragon Demon Emperor relaxed, showing a slight smile, and slightly bowing.

"Not seeing you would be better!" Zhou Xun said irritably.

"Daoist Zi Yi, how about you tell us about those chasing Ghost Race?" At this, True Monarch Tianci asked solemnly.

"Behind me are a total of four Ghost Kings, the leading two are Tier Four High-Grade, and the remaining two are Tier Four Middle-Grade!" The Purple Flood Dragon Demon Emperor bitterly laughed.

Hearing this, Zhou Xun’s face instantly darkened.

Four was troubling enough, but exceeding Middle-Grade, his tone immediately soured:

"Daoist Zi Yi leading such calamity, you truly excel at it!"

"But, we do not just face four, but six!" Immediately pointing to the two Ghost Kings blocking the front.

Upon hearing ’we’, the Purple Flood Dragon Demon Emperor brightened, understanding Zhou Xun’s intent, apologizing immediately:

"Brother Zhou, please forgive me; I really had no choice. If it was only one High-Grade Demon Emperor, I could escape or even defeat it with great expenditure!

"But truly unable to handle two, as a form of apology, the six Tier Four Ghost Pearls I obtained this time, all are yours, including one Tier Four Middle-Grade,"

"Worth four hundred Battle Merit Points."

"Oh, and, for this joint battle, all proceeds, I won’t take a bit. How about that?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun’s expression softened considerably,

With the three combined, nearly equaling triple Great Cultivator strength, coupled with Zhou Xun’s two Spirit Beasts and Blood Demon Child,

making six total,

not to mention still having an undeveloped White Bone Flying Corpse in his storage bag, entirely manageable to hold a Middle-Grade Ghost King,

the outcome of this battle remains undetermined!

"Oh no, another one’s coming!" True Monarch Tianci bitterly laughed, as seen, from the left appeared another Ghost King, Tier Four Middle-Grade!

In such a short time, seven Ghost Kings gathered here, surrounding the three.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun flipped his hand, took out a Jade Talisman,

the one given when first meeting True Monarch Tianyi, once activated, Nascent Soul Cultivators thirty thousand miles within can be summoned,

but ultimately how many might return, Zhou Xun was unsure.

"Daoist Zi Yi, earlier you mentioned having methods against High-Grade Ghost Kings?" Looking at the ever-approaching Ghost Kings, Zhou Xun transmitted the inquiry.

If true, managing to eliminate a High-Grade Ghost King initially, they could possibly seize the chance.

"Indeed, this is a treasure granted by my master, able to render a High-Grade Ghost King powerless briefly,"

"But I’ve overexerted, upon performing it, I would have little resistance left!"

The Purple Flood Dragon Demon Emperor contemplated for a moment, then nodded in reply.

"If one can be eliminated first, leave the rest to me and Daoist Brother Tianci!" Zhou Xun declared.

"Given the circumstances, I agree!" The Purple Flood Dragon Demon Emperor gritted teeth.

After all, within the present situation, reliance must be placed upon Zhou Xun and Tianci.

"Alright, as that High-Grade Ghost King approaches, I’ll perform the technique to restrain it, then Daoist Zhou can handle the kill!" The Purple Flood Dragon Demon Emperor said while flipping hand,

taking out a Jade Talisman engraved with a golden rope,

holding it prepared for activation.

Meanwhile, Zhou Xun also communicated with True Monarch Tianci, intending to join forces once the Purple Flood Dragon Demon Emperor made his move,

to ensure the initial kill of an opposing High-Grade Ghost King.

...

Meanwhile, at a distance of tens of thousands of miles from the scene,

a man with a chilling aura, small in stature, flew slowly on a red cloud,

beside him was an effeminate young man with a pale face; his exposed skin faintly revealed some blood-colored patterns.

If Zhou Xun were present, he might recognize the small man as the Blood Refining Old Demon, now Supreme Elder of the Blood Refining Sect.

The effeminate young man at his side, was the Blood Refining Sect’s true ace, ’Blood Demon Emperor’!

A Blood Zombie possessing Great Cultivator power!

Suddenly, a pulse emanated from the elder’s storage bag,

he flipped his hand and took it out, surprisingly it was a Jade Talisman, gleaming slightly, showing an arrow pointing southwest.

"Someone’s calling for aid, seems some unlucky fellow encountered a Ghost King, so be it, the ancestor will check it out, perhaps saving your life!"

Then the Blood Refining Ancestor changed course, rushing toward the arrow’s direction.

In addition, elsewhere, a middle-aged man dressed as a Confucian Scholar likewise noticed Jade Talisman’s movement, turning direction, speeding off!

...

"Human race, surrender, and this king will spare your lives!"

At that moment, the seven Ghost Kings flew over slowly, surrounding Zhou Xun and the two others.

A Ghost King, three meters tall, stood forth, its voice exceedingly unpleasant, akin to sharp nails scraping glass.

Its form flickered like a shadow, shrouded by a dense black mist, concealing its appearance,

only a pair of blood-red eyes intermittently visible within the mist, resembling two eerie ghost fires.

Judging by its aura, it was a Tier Four High-Grade Ghost King.

"Surrender? Out of the question, I am a True Dragon Descendant, how could I submit to ghost creatures like you!" Upon hearing this, the Purple Flood Dragon Demon Emperor chuckled coldly, shouting angrily.

"A defeated fighter, a fleeing serpent. Even if you surrender, we might not accept!" The Ghost King sniffed disdainfully.

Yet the next moment, it stood frozen,

as a golden light suddenly shot from the Purple Flood Dragon Demon Emperor’s hand, instantly appearing beside it, restraining it.
