"Master?"
As Little White cried out for aid, the three adversaries paused for a moment, their killing intent igniting! This woman was not alone. The trio exchanged glances and instinctively fanned out, forming a triangular formation to encircle Little White. Of course, Little White refused to await her doom. As she rapidly retreated, her form dissolved into thousands of spectral illusions.
"So, it’s a Ghost Cultivator." Demon Monk Kongchan expressed surprise, then produced a tube of talismans and casually flung them. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Countless spiritual talismans erupted from the bamboo tube, transforming into streaks of light that struck the ghostly shadows. Pop, pop, pop! Only sounds of destruction were heard as the myriad ghostly illusions shattered, revealing Little White’s true form amidst them.
In a flurry of panic, Little White gave a delicate cry and slammed her palm outwards. Amidst flickering light, a massive blue palm met hers directly. Boom! The two struck, Little White being the weaker combatant and forced to halt her movement.
Jiao Emperor Liu Jun retracted his hand, clicking his tongue in admiration: "To withstand my palm with a phantom body, this female Ghost Cultivator is quite skilled. But that is the extent of your prowess." In his estimation, a green glint suddenly materialized behind Little White, rapidly morphing into thousands of arrows fashioned from grass and wood. With a cold sneer, Tai Sui extended a finger. The multitude of grass and wood arrows converged into a single projectile, hurtling directly towards Little White.
Facing this onslaught, Little White’s complexion turned ashen. Even with her current power, she had only barely held her ground against a cultivator at the Post-Nascent stage for a moment. Now, among her three assailants, a Great Demon Emperor completely overwhelmed her in terms of Divine Soul Endowment. Furthermore, one of the others possessed exceptional combat acumen, sealing her escape routes. The final assailant, with his cunning nature, launched a sneak attack despite their already overwhelming numbers.
As the attack bore down, Little White desperately defended herself, simultaneously activating the Protective Treasure Armor temporarily bestowed by Luo Chen. A layer of Xuanhuang Qi instantly enveloped her. Ping! Ping! Ping! A rapid succession of impacts resounded as the countless grass and wood arrows violently struck the Xuanhuang Qi Shield, shattering it in an instant before impacting the black armor beneath. By this point, the previously unstoppable arrows of grass and wood had lost their impetus, falling harmlessly one by one.
Upon witnessing the black armor, Tai Sui instinctively hesitated. "Xuan Chen Armor?" And within that brief pause, Little White seized the opportunity to slip past his defensive line. For a fleeting moment, Little White broke free from the trio’s encirclement and transformed into a beam of light, streaking back the way she came.
Behind her, Demon Monk Kongchan’s interrogative voice followed. "Tai Sui, what are you doing?" "Don’t let that female ghost escape!" Seeing the situation unravel, Jiao Emperor Liu Jun immediately gave chase. While pursuing, he raised his hand to retrieve an oil lamp. With a flick of his fingers, a small blue flame spiraled out, covering hundreds of meters with astonishing speed, poised to strike Little White.
Little White was compelled to turn, expelling waves of ghost qi. Regrettably, this pure ghost qi proved ineffective against the azure flame, consistently burning to ash. Just as Little White was nearing a perilous predicament, a breathtaking spectacle unfolded. The azure flames descending upon her body dispersed like running water, ultimately reverting to the small flame they once were. "What!?" Jiao Emperor Liu Jun was astonished, utterly disbelieving.
That brilliant azure flame was a legacy true artifact of the Jiaoren Clan, cultivated with merfolk oil via the Jiao Huang Lamp. While primarily potent against Desolate Beast bodies, it also displayed remarkable efficacy against soul bodies. Yet, now, the Jiao Huang True Flame had docilely hovered upon the female ghost’s form. This was inconceivable! "No, it wasn’t you!"
Precisely as Jiao Emperor Liu Jun grasped the truth, a figure emerged from behind Little White, and that indistinct visage caused Jiao Emperor Liu Jun’s eyes to widen instantly. "It’s you!" "Little White, you’ve done admirably; leave the remainder to me!" Luo Chen gently patted Little White’s shoulder and positioned himself before her.
"Master, be cautious; these three are not to be trifled with," Little White cautioned, while simultaneously removing the Xuan Chen Armor and returning it to Luo Chen. As the Xuan Chen Armor integrated back into his person, Luo Chen offered a slight smile, his gaze settling upon the trio. No, to be precise, two were Demon Beasts, and the third was a Spiritual Monster inhabiting a Human Cultivator’s vessel.
Overlooking the formidable Demon Monk Kongchan, he directed his greetings towards the other two present.
"It has been a while, Emperor Jiao Liu Jun, and also... Tai Sui, my esteemed friend!"
As his gaze met Tai Sui’s, Luo Chen finally apprehended the source of the profound familiarity and intimacy he felt emanating from this individual.
Naturally, the connection would feel that way.
In bygone days, he himself had absorbed and assimilated Tai Sui’s original form.
It was through the Fifth-Order Medicinal Material, which was Tai Sui’s original essence, that Luo Chen successfully concocted the Fifth-Order Yefadian Pill. Moreover, this pivotal event enabled him to overcome the second trial of the Nine Tribulations and Three Nirvanas—the Physical Nirvana.
Luo Chen’s remarkable mastery over the True Intent of Withering and Flourishing, intrinsic to the Wood Element Laws, particularly when coupled with his Fire Spirit Body, was significantly augmented by his consumption of Tai Sui’s precursor form.
A Fifth-Order Spiritual Tai Sui was, by its very nature, imbued with the essence of Wood Element Laws!
Emperor Jiao Liu Jun observed Luo Chen with a sense of apprehension, the oil lamp he clutched blazing with a more intense blue flame.
"So, it was you who secretly infiltrated Ye Mo Sky previously, the Demon King Qingyang!"
From behind, Tai Sui regarded Luo Chen with a palpable tremor, cautiously retreating a step.
Upon the manifestation of the Xuan Chen Armor, he had harbored a strong suspicion regarding the identity of Little White’s master.
Now, confronting him directly, Tai Sui found himself utterly unable to detect any presence or aura from Luo Chen.
Yet, it was precisely this absence of any detectable trace that instilled in him an even greater terror!
He possessed firsthand knowledge, having once fought alongside Luo Chen, of the sheer power this individual wielded.
