Chapter 441: Ghost King (Part 4)

When the black giant tiger saw the dragons formed by the Green Bamboo Cloud Swarm Swords strangling toward it, fierce light flashed in its eyes. With a low roar, its blood-basin mouth opened, and more than a dozen head-sized black light balls sprayed out in a row, meeting the green dragons.

The two green dragon phantoms could still tear the first few light balls to pieces with their mouths and claws. But when it reached the seventh or eighth one, they finally couldn't resist.

With a mournful cry, the dragon forms were shattered by the light balls, revealing the true bodies of the flying swords.

The two flying swords were knocked flying more than ten zhang away by the subsequent light balls, tumbling several times.

At the same time, the green light on them greatly diminished, seemingly suffering a certain degree of damage to their spirituality.

Seeing this, Han Li felt a slight pain in his heart, hurriedly pointed with his finger, and the two flying swords turned into green lights and shot back, being taken back into his body to be re-nurtured.

At the same time, he opened his other hand, releasing four identical green flying swords, which flashed and slashed toward the giant tiger.

The ghost shadow standing behind the giant tiger saw this situation and became somewhat impatient.

It took a deep breath, and a piercing, sharp whistling sound rose.

When the demon tiger heard this sound, its head lowered slightly, its neck twisted, and its two front claws were deeply inserted into the ground.

Then, a shocking scene appeared!

A large lump bulged on one side of the tiger's head, and then with a flash of black light, another slightly smaller tiger head appeared there, actually turning into a two-headed strange tiger!

With the appearance of the other tiger head, the demon energy on this tiger surged by a large margin, making Han Li furrow his brows!

At this time, this demon tiger artifact spirit didn't stand on ceremony; both tiger heads opened their big mouths simultaneously, and black light balls poured out one after another, rushing toward Han Li with great momentum.

Han Li didn't dare to be negligent, pinched a spell art, and the four flying swords in mid-air shook violently, turning into eight.

Then, after the light flourished, the eight flying swords gathered together, turning into a green giant sword several zhang long.

Han Li looked at this sword, strange light flickering in his eyes. Then, without hesitation, he opened his mouth and sprayed a group of pure green mist, which was his true essence, onto the wide blade of the giant sword.

Immediately, the giant sword emitted a long, clear cry, light shooting in all directions, turning into a green ribbon more than ten zhang long, slashing fiercely at the black light balls, faintly emitting the sound of wind and thunder.

The black and green lights collided, splashing and shooting in all directions, with bursting sounds occurring one after another, the momentum extremely shocking!

The green giant sword broke through the many light balls like bamboo, performing incomparably bravely.

But the black light balls became more and more numerous, constantly pouring out from the two tiger heads one after another, without the slightest sign of stopping, seemingly endless!

This situation made Han Li's expression darken, feeling quite surprised.

Just as he was pondering whether to use other magic spells to defeat the opponent, or to release more flying swords, a faint, almost invisible gray human figure appeared out of nowhere in the air more than ten zhang behind him.

Apart from a pair of blood-red eyes, there was not a trace of unusual aura leaking from its whole body.

Han Li seemed to have failed to notice the strangeness behind him at all.

The gray shadow looked at the flying insects floating around Han Li, red light flashing in its eyes several times, then suddenly leaped, turning into a slender gray rainbow and shooting silently toward Han Li's back, wanting to crush Han Li's Core Formation with one grab.

As for those insects, it didn't take them to heart at all.

Because the cultivation technique it practiced was best at shapeshifting and hiding, and at this moment its whole body had turned into an intangible body, so why would it fear being discovered by any insects?

Even if discovered, it had the confidence to make Han Li unable to react in time and die miserably under its pair of sharp claws.

This ghost shadow's cultivation technique was indeed extremely bizarre, and the gray rainbow shooting toward Han Li didn't make the slightest sound, and it was incomparably fast.

Just as it was about to reach Han Li's back in the blink of an eye, the golden-silver colored beetles originally floating in the air let out a "buzz" sound, and swarmed toward the gray light, covering the sky.

The gray shadow was greatly startled! Before it could react, the numerous golden-silver colored beetles blocked in front and rushed toward it.

In an instant, the gray light plunged into the golden-silver colored insect mist, and these flying insects crawled all over its body, dyeing it a shining golden-silver color.

The gray shadow was shocked and angry, shaking its body several times to shake these insects off, but it had no effect, and then a dense, strange feeling came from its whole body.

It was stunned, and couldn't help but lower its head to look carefully.

As a result, the blood light in its ghost eyes flashed wildly, filled with horror.

These beetles, which didn't look like much, were tearing at its intangible ghost body one by one. Although it was very difficult to tear, they were indeed swallowing it mouthful by mouthful. They were actually able to ignore its intangible ghost body.

This made the gray shadow panic, and its body began to change constantly.

For a while it turned into pitch-black dense mist, for a while it turned into a ghost monster covered in scales. But no matter how it changed, those dense beetles firmly stuck to its true body, making it completely unable to escape.

In just this short while, a lot of its ghost body true form had been gnawed away by the thousands of strange insects.

And just at this time, Han Li finally turned his head and looked at the gray shadow coldly.

Then, without saying a word of nonsense, he waved his hands, and two more spirit beast bags were sacrificed into the air, and two more golden-silver colored insect swarms appeared in the air with a buzzing sound, then turned into two giant arrowheads and shot down, joining the swallowing.

The gray ghost shadow finally let out a deafening strange cry in fear, sending a cry for help to the black ghost shadow in the distance.

When the black shadow heard this sound, it finally revealed a trace of anxiety.

It looked at the giant tiger artifact spirit that was still deadlocked with the green giant sword, and revealed a trace of hesitation.

But immediately after the green light in its eyes shrank, it suddenly turned into a ball of black ghost mist and lunged at the two-headed demon tiger.

The black tiger immediately let out a painful roar, actually standing upright.

Then its two hind legs became thick and swollen, and its front legs became thin and shrunken.

Then, after a blur on the face of one of the tiger heads, a furry human face appeared, covered in thick black energy. The other tiger head's form remained unchanged, but its eyes became filled with violent expression.

"Spirit Attachment Technique."

Han Li gasped and whispered the name of this spell.

This spell sounded very similar to "Possession Technique," also attaching to some kind of living creature.

But in reality, the effect was a world of difference!

Not to mention anything else, using the possession technique not only couldn't increase strength, but after possession, it could only exert a few layers of the original strength, and it was just a convenient spell for long-distance body manipulation. After casting, there were no major sequelae.

The Spirit Attachment Technique was different.

It could not cast this spell on other cultivators, only on demon beasts with low intelligence.

And after possession, not only did the cultivation base become several times the superposition of the caster's cultivation and the spirit-attached object's cultivation, but as long as this secret technique was cast once, it was equivalent to signing a life-and-death pact with the spirit-attached object.

Between the two, as long as one soul flew and spirit was destroyed, the other would also be annihilated from then on.

But the most incredible thing was that after casting the Spirit Attachment Technique, it would completely form a new individual, possessing its own intelligence and memory, completely different from the caster and the attached creature.

Although at the beginning, the time of this spirit attachment would not be very long, and it would automatically be lifted very quickly.

But as the number of times this technique was cast increased, and the duration became longer, this new individual would gradually take the dominant position.

Eventually, this technique would become irreversible!

But ironically, the lifespan of this half-human, half-demon monster that possessed astonishing cultivation the moment it was born was pitifully short.

Because the price of obtaining this astonishing power was the astonishing consumption of its own lifespan. Often, not long after it truly became independent, it was the time of its annihilation.

In addition, although it was unknown whether it was true or not, there were rumors that the souls of cultivators who practiced the Spirit Attachment Technique would fall into the endless abyss after death, and would never be able to enter the six paths of reincarnation.

This made the cultivators in the cultivation world change their expressions at the mention of it.

But fortunately, very few cultivators knew this Spirit Attachment secret technique, and those who knew it would not practice it.

Otherwise, they would either have their lifespan greatly reduced or die as a half-human, half-demon monster.

The image of the ghost shadow and the giant tiger merging was exactly the same as the Spirit Attachment Technique in the legend.

But this secret technique should only be cast by normal cultivators. He had never heard of demon ghosts being able to practice it, and it was even more shocking that they would cast it on their own artifact spirits.

Han Li, who was usually not happy or angry in his expression, couldn't help but have a face full of suspicion.

At the same time, his vigilance rose greatly!
