The sudden appearance of the Hu Kui Seal shocked not only me but also the black-robed man and the ghost generals opposite.
As soon as it appeared, it instantly killed the most vociferous ghost general, which was undoubtedly like a depth charge, causing everyone present to show expressions of terror, especially the ghost generals on the opposite side.
One must know that the strength of ghost generals is already at the peak of power. To reach the level of a ghost king requires time and opportunity, but the Hu Kui Seal directly killed a ghost general upon its appearance, so how could they not be afraid? Su Dan Novel Network
"So this thing is really in your hands. It was worth all my planning!" The black-robed man did not show fear like his subordinate ghost generals, but instead, an excited expression. He looked at the Hu Kui Seal hovering in mid-air as if it were a rare treasure.
"Seeking death!" A cold voice came from the Hu Kui Seal again, and it transformed into lightning, charging towards the black-robed man, intending to kill him with one blow.
Seeing this, the black-robed man twisted his body and grabbed a ghost king standing beside him, throwing it in front of himself.
"No..."
The ghost king only managed to say "no" before being pierced through the chest by the Hu Kui Seal and dying, turning into a mass of Yin energy. However, this attack also dissipated.
The black-robed man waved his hands repeatedly, and a mass of tentacle-like Yin energy black hands reached out towards the Hu Kui Seal.
"Hmph!" A cold snort came from the Hu Kui Seal, and then it, like a slippery loach, weaved back and forth within the Yin energy black hands. Each time, it narrowly avoided the attacks of the Yin energy black hands, while also taking the opportunity to attack the ghost generals around the black-robed man.
However, these ghost generals, seeing that the Hu Kui Seal could destroy them, had already fled far away before it could even reach them. They watched from a distance as the black-robed man and the Hu Kui Seal battled.
The battle at this moment had completely exceeded my expectations, and this level of combat was not something I could participate in. The black-robed man's strength had already reached the level of a ghost king.
The Yin energy black hands in his hands blotted out the sun, and each swing carried gusts of cold Yin wind, chilling me to the bone.
The Hu Kui Seal was not to be outdone. Although it did not engage the black-robed man head-on, every attack was aimed at a vital spot that the black-robed man had to defend. Several times, it went straight for the black-robed man's face, almost killing him on the spot.
After once again neutralizing the black-robed man's attack, the Hu Kui Seal quietly hovered not far from the black-robed man's eyes, like a giant gazing at him.
"Interesting, very interesting indeed. For the princess of the Half-Yin Realm to go to such lengths, even depleting her cultivation to fight me, all for this brat. Is it worth it?" the black-robed man suddenly spoke.
What? The princess of the Half-Yin Realm?
I never would have imagined that the one controlling the Hu Kui Seal was Fifth Princess.
"What does it have to do with you whether it's worth it or not? Just be your puppet dog, and you dare to meddle in my affairs. Do you really think I wouldn't kill you?" Fifth Princess's cold voice came from the Hu Kui Seal.
"Kill me?" The black-robed man was stunned at first, then chuckled: "If you really had the ability, you would have acted long ago. Why would you waste time babbling with me here? I estimate you're already out of ghost power. Fighting from such a distance, even if you were a ghost king, you should be exhausted. I'll let you watch how this brat dies before your eyes."
As soon as the black-robed man finished speaking, he, like a black long snake, twisted his body and charged towards me.
Fifth Princess controlled the Hu Kui Seal to try and block him, but was obstructed by the ghost generals. Seeing the black-robed man appear before me, a pair of ghost hands reached for my neck.
I showed a hint of a smile, and with my other hand, I took out the Zan Xin Ding from my waist, quickly formed the Tian Tui Seal, and shot it out, aiming directly for the black-robed man's crown. This move completely caught the black-robed man off guard.
In his terrified surprise, he did not dodge. Instead, his body twisted again into a black long snake, and he dodged my lightning-fast attack at a strange angle.
"Seeking death!" Fifth Princess dodged the pincer attack from the ghost generals and instantly appeared before me.
At the same time, centered around the Hu Kui Seal, her figure also appeared. One hand was precisely catching the black-robed man's attacking move towards me.
Boom—
The two seemed to have a brief collision, but it unleashed an unparalleled explosive force. The black-robed man was blasted out of the gate by Fifth Princess's blow, and I was also sent tumbling several times by the shockwave.
The black-robed man stabilized himself. The mask on his face was blown off by who knows what, revealing a face that was both familiar and somewhat strange. Seeing his appearance, the pupils of my eyes contracted.
"So it's you?"
Although I had some guesses in my heart, and even suspected it at one point, there was no evidence. Now, I never expected him to stand directly in front of me, and he had just tried to kill me and seize the Hu Kui Seal.
"Are you very surprised?" Sun Chuang looked at me calmly, glancing at his wrinkled robe.
I tried my best to suppress the anger in my heart. The Sun Chuang before me was clearly not alive, otherwise, he wouldn't have transformed into a Yin energy black snake to attack. Yet, just the day before yesterday, we had been eating together.
How could he have become like this in the blink of an eye? What had he gone through?
"Don't stand there dumbfounded. I can't control the Hu Kui Seal for long. I'll teach you a set of control incantations. Kill them quickly, and don't let Sun Chuang get the Hu Kui Seal."
Then, a set of incantations, obscure and over a hundred characters long, entered my ears. Fortunately, during my ten years of studying Yin Gua, my master had forced me to develop a good memory, otherwise, it would have been difficult to remember the content.
In the short time it took me to memorize the incantations, Fifth Princess controlled the Hu Kui Seal, striking left and right, killing two more ghost generals.
"Have you memorized them all? I'm running out of strength to control it," Fifth Princess's voice came again, tinged with exhaustion, as if she were carrying a great mountain.
I quickly replied in my mind, "Memorized."
Then, the Hu Kui Seal flew back with a "swish" and fell. Fortunately, with Fifth Princess's prior warning, I reached out and caught it.
Sun Chuang saw the Hu Kui Seal, which had just killed several of his generals, return to my hands. The exposed eyes were spewing fire. He only had a dozen or so ghost generals, and in this short time, six of them had been annihilated by the Hu Kui Seal.
"You few go deal with Song Qingyun. I'll deal with the Hu Kui Seal. Hurry!" Sun Chuang cursed the ghost generals hiding behind him.
The other ghost generals, though fearful, gritted their teeth and charged at me. They knew the consequences of disobeying Sun Chuang, and moreover, the Hu Kui Seal was now weakly in my hands, clearly indicating that Fifth Princess, who was controlling it, was no longer able to do so.
Seeing the charging ghost generals, I controlled the Hu Kui Seal according to the method taught by Fifth Princess. The method of controlling the Hu Kui Seal was somewhat similar to my Tian Tui Seal. As soon as the ghost kings charged over, I used the Tian Tui Seal method to launch the Hu Kui Seal.
I thought it would be very difficult to control the Hu Kui Seal with my limited Xuan Yang True Qi, but the moment I sent it out, I felt otherwise. The Hu Kui Seal seemed to have its own intelligence, and it was very easy to control, as if I were controlling my own hands.
In the blink of an eye, it annihilated the first two ghost generals that charged forward, scaring the other ghost kings following behind into hiding behind the black-robed man. Their ghost faces were even paler than flour, and they all dared not advance.
"As expected of a treasure that can control the Half-Yin Realm. However, it's a pity to have you holding it. Since Fifth Princess is not here, I advise you to hand it over to me obediently! I can generously leave you a complete corpse."
Since the pretense had been dropped, there was nothing more to say. I said with a cold face, "If you want the Hu Kui Seal, you'll have to step over my corpse. Try me if you don't believe me."
