Chapter 1927: Startled Demon

Upon seeing this scene, the refined-looking youth's eyes lit up. He then let out a low shout, and his figure suddenly expanded by more than twofold, transforming into a tall Ghost King wearing a golden crown and a python robe.

This Ghost King had a crimson face, a body covered in green fur, and a row of foot-long bone spurs suddenly sprouted from its back. As yellow light flickered in its eyes, four fangs were revealed.

The ghost opened its large mouth and sprayed out a stream of gray Qi, which rolled up the severed arm and swallowed it in one gulp. It then began to chew, producing a series of "crunching" sounds.

"Good, since you've devoured the sacrificial offering, hurry up and lend me the Heavenly Ghost Token." The bald Demon Race member's face was somewhat pale, but he let out a sharp shout.

"Hehe, these two are not ordinary existences. If you want me to summon Heavenly Ghosts to deal with them, this little bit of sacrifice is not enough." The Ghost King licked the bloodstains from the corners of its mouth with its purple-red tongue. After swallowing the last bit of flesh in its mouth, it spoke with a greedy look in its eyes.

"What? Don't go too far! You've already devoured one of my arms just to deal with two mere human cultivators, and you're still not satisfied!" The bald Demon Race member was instantly enraged upon hearing this.

"Hmph, you speak lightly. Can these two be compared to your previous opponents? I don't know how many of the Heavenly Ghosts I lend you will be lost. It seems you are a noble who forgets things easily; you've already forgotten the contents of the contract you established with me through the Heavenly Ghost Gate back then. Do you want me to remind you once more?" The Ghost King let out a series of strange laughs and spoke in a sinister tone.

Upon hearing these words from the fierce ghost, the bald Venerable's face became extremely ugly. He gritted his teeth, and with a sudden slash of the blood blade in his hand, he sliced off one of his own legs, then said viciously:

"This time, it should be enough! If you dare to say 'no' again, I will break the contract with you, even if it means we both suffer."

"If you add this, it is naturally enough." Upon seeing this scene, the Ghost King couldn't help but be overjoyed and nodded repeatedly. It opened its mouth, sucked the fallen leg over, and began to chew it greedily.

At this moment, the bald Demon Race member began to chant, and streams of black Qi emerged from thin air at his missing arm and leg. After rolling about, new limbs grew back to their original state.

However, doing this only made the demon's face even more bloodless. It was clear that although the limbs had regenerated, the lost essence blood could not be replenished in an instant.

When the Ghost King finished devouring the blood food, it let out a joyful, long howl. It shook its sleeve, and a blood-red ghost-head token suddenly appeared in its hand. After tossing it into the void in front of it, it transformed into a gust of sinister wind and vanished into the ghost gate, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Upon seeing the bright red ghost token, the bald Demon Race member's expression relaxed. He then looked at Han Li and the other, and immediately pointed a single hand at the token.

The ghost token immediately began to spin rapidly. After a slight blur, it transformed into a blood-red whirlwind.

A sharp whistling sound came from the wind. As it split, four fierce ghosts jumped out from within. As they grew in the wind, they reached a size of over ten zhang.

These four giant ghosts were blood-red all over and hairless, but their appearance resembled apes magnified dozens of times. Each had a pair of pitch-black horns on its head and a green hooked tail. As they flicked them slightly, they moved so fast that they couldn't be seen clearly, and one could only hear bursts of explosions coming from the void.

Upon seeing these four blood-red Heavenly Ghosts, the bald Demon Race member grabbed at the void with one hand without hesitation.

The blood-red whirlwind in the distance immediately rolled up and transformed back into the ghost-head token, which flashed and landed in his hand.

A ferocious look appeared on the demon's face. He immediately cast a spell onto the token while beginning to chant.

The four giant ghosts were clearly constrained by the ghost-head token. Under the urging of the bald Demon Race member, the looks they cast toward the Silver Light Immortal were filled with fierce glares.

As one of the Heavenly Ghosts let out a sharp whistle, blood light appeared on the backs of all four ghosts simultaneously. Each sprouted a pair of huge purple bat wings. With a flap of their wings, they pounced ferociously toward the crystalline barrier that trapped them.

Seeing this, a cold sneer couldn't help but flash across the bald Demon Race member's face.

Having used the Heavenly Ghost Gate several times before, no one knew the terrifying nature of these four Heavenly Ghosts better than he did.

Perhaps the strength of a single Heavenly Ghost was only equivalent to a late-stage Void Refinement existence, but with all four working together, even an average mid-stage Body Integration cultivator would likely be no match for them.

Even though this barrier trapping them seemed somewhat strange, it should naturally be unable to withstand a single blow from the four Heavenly Ghosts.

However, even so, the demon opened his mouth and spat out a pitch-black small seal. It was only a few inches in size when it exited, but as it grew in the wind, it transformed into several zhang in size. With a loud boom, it followed the four ghosts and smashed fiercely toward the crystalline barrier above.

In a flash, the four Heavenly Ghosts arrived near the crystalline barrier. As their arms moved, a sky full of claw shadows immediately appeared, and at the same time, their rear hooked tails let out a "whoosh" sound, transforming into countless green lights that stabbed straight out.

The combined strike of the four ghosts was indeed extraordinary.

The next moment, a burst of blinding radiance erupted from the barrier, but it only held for a brief instant before the light dimmed.

Seeing this, the bald Demon Race member was naturally overjoyed and urged the black seal he had released even more fiercely.

Immediately, the treasure flashed and struck the same spot on the barrier wall with the sound of wind and thunder, and circles of black waves immediately rippled outward.

The barrier wall, which already seemed unable to hold on, let out a crisp sound, and countless fine white marks immediately appeared, as if it were about to shatter at any moment.

But just at this moment, the Silver Light Immortal, who was outside the barrier wall, flashed and suddenly appeared beside the silver beauty's head, slapping it without hesitation.

The silver head stared at the crystalline barrier, and strange light flared intensely in its eyes.

Seemingly in response, the golden magic array on the crystalline barrier also let out a humming sound. Countless golden runes emerged from the array, and as they flickered, they flew rapidly into the cracks of the barrier wall.

A strange scene appeared!

The barrier wall, which was on the verge of shattering, healed as if it were new the moment these golden runes entered it, flashing with golden light.

Seeing this from afar, the Silver Light Immortal couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth slightly.

The bald Demon Race member was stunned for a moment, but he quickly sobered up. He let out a shout of shock and anger, and once again urged the ghost-head token in his hand and the black seal.

The four Heavenly Ghosts in the air had blood light swirling in their eyes. They let out angry, sharp screams, their figures expanded by more than half again, and they opened their mouths to spray out beams of blood-colored light. At the same time, the claw shadows from their hands and the green light from their hooked tails appeared once more.

As for the giant black seal, it let out thunderous sounds, and streams of black lightning shot out from within. At the same time, hundreds of silver runes emerged from the bottom of the seal.

It was clear that the bald Demon Race member had pushed the power of this treasure to its limit.

The storm-like attacks landed on the barrier wall once again, causing it to flash wildly. As the giant black seal smashed down fiercely, a black sun immediately appeared amidst a heaven-shaking explosion.

The barrier wall where the sun appeared shattered easily, but under the brilliant golden light of the golden magic array, it instantly recovered as if it were new.

At this, the bald Demon Race member's face became extremely ugly, but the spell in his hand did not stop for a moment. He continued to urge the seal and the four Heavenly Ghosts to attack the crystalline barrier wildly.

The demon knew very well that even though this crystalline barrier was extremely profound, it was absolutely impossible for it to maintain this terrifying recovery speed indefinitely. As long as the attacks continued without pause, it wouldn't take long before they could truly break out.

But the key was that the other human cultivator was the one who had killed the Li Venerable. Would his companion not encounter any accidents during this period?

While the bald Demon Race member attacked the crystalline barrier wildly, he scanned the other battlefield with some unease, and his face changed drastically as a result.

He saw that over there, a sky full of golden sword threads was forming a giant sword net, trapping dozens of blue flying snakes. Even though those blue flying snakes had bodies harder than gold and spat out Profound Ice Qi, they were being turned into piles of minced meat by the crisscrossing golden threads.

Not far away, the demoness transformed from the thirteen skeletons had revealed her original form once again.

They had transformed back into two-zhang-tall white skeletons, wreathed in black demonic flames, spitting out gray poisonous gas, and their eyes occasionally spat out streams of glass-like strange light. However, these Child-Mother True Demons, despite showing all their divine abilities, were currently being chased everywhere by a dozen golden, purple-patterned strange insects.

These famous Child-Mother True Demons seemed to fear these strange insects greatly, not daring to let them get close at all. All attacks from these demons, such as demonic flames and poisonous gas, seemed ineffective against these spirit insects.

As for the Blue Venerable himself, he was currently in an even more wretched state!

That human cultivator had transformed into a giant golden ape a hundred zhang tall, dancing two small mountains with his arms, forcing the Blue-Patterned Demon Race member to retreat step by step with an unstoppable momentum.

Even though the Blue-Patterned Demon Race member was shocked and angry, his hand spells changing incessantly, and he had six or seven different treasures circling and dancing in front of him, every time any treasure touched the wild strikes of the two mountain peaks, it would flash wildly, forcing him to immediately withdraw it and replace it with another. Otherwise, if he took three or four consecutive hard hits, the treasure would surely be destroyed.

This dignified Demon Race Venerable appeared to be at a complete disadvantage after only a moment.

The bald Demon Race member's expression changed several times, and he gasped. The power of these thirteen Child-Mother True Demons was no less than the four Heavenly Ghosts he had summoned, yet they were forced into such a state by a mere few spirit insects of the opponent.

It seemed that although he knew the human male cultivator was extraordinary before, he had still underestimated him somewhat.

With this person being so troublesome, perhaps only the three or four late-stage Body Integration Demon Venerables in the clan would have the certainty to deal with him.

As the bald Demon Race member pondered this, he felt a sense of horror in his heart.

However, his eyes rolled, and he immediately moved his lips to transmit a sound to his companion.
