Chapter 616: Silver Emperor Killing Sword

"Mm, Brother, wake up!"

Just as Lingyun was sleeping soundly, a soft voice came over.

Lingyun's eyeballs moved, and then he slowly opened his eyes.

"Youruo, you're awake?" Looking at Youruo, who was lying on top of him, Lingyun reached out to rub her head, then propped himself up with both hands and sat up.

"Brother, it's getting late," Youruo said while lying on Lingyun.

"How is that kid Ji Haoyue doing?" Lingyun asked with a slight yawn.

"He's almost finished." Youruo opened her hand, and an image appeared before them.

"That kid's patience is truly formidable!" Lingyun said, looking at Ji Haoyue, whose face was pale but who was still gritting his teeth.

"Ji Haoyue has been raised as the future Clan Master of the Ji Family since he was little; if he didn't even have this much endurance, then one could only say the Ji Family's education is truly a failure," Youruo said, pouting her little mouth.

"By the way, Youruo, can you leave the Heavenly Dao Space?" Lingyun asked suddenly.

"Not right now; if I'm not here to control it, this world will fall into chaos," Youruo said, shaking her head.

"When you are able to leave the Heavenly Dao Space, if you have nothing to do, come over to my place. Staying in this Void space all by yourself is just too lonely," Lingyun said.

"I know!" Youruo rubbed gently against Lingyun's embrace, then transformed into a stream of light and dove into the castle.

Lingyun stood up, his figure slowly distorting, and he disappeared from the Heavenly Dao Space.

"Hum—"

The space rippled, and Lingyun's figure appeared in the open space in front of the Villa.

Within the Second Layer Array surrounding Ji Haoyue's body, it was already filled with ghosts; their number was at least two hundred thousand, already approaching the limit the Array could withstand. More importantly, inside Ji Haoyue's body, there were still ghosts continuously emerging.

Suddenly, a sharp glint flashed in Lingyun's eyes. Among the numerous ghosts, a blood-red fierce ghost suddenly appeared. As soon as this fierce ghost appeared, it let out a roar and lunged toward the other ghosts.

The crystal of Purification Light suspended in mid-air suddenly shot out a beam of light, shining upon that fierce ghost. The fierce ghost let out a shrill shriek and was instantly reduced to ashes.

"It seems there are some uninvited guests mixed in here!" Lingyun couldn't help but mutter.

Watching the Array Patterns of the outer Array flickering constantly, Lingyun stomped his right foot heavily against the ground.

"Underworld Gate!"

The space distorted, the sky became overcast with dark clouds, and a massive gateway suddenly rose from the ground.

"What's the situation?" Just as the Underworld Gate appeared, a cry of alarm suddenly came from the Villa, and two figures rushed out of the Villa at high speed.

"Don't look at that gate!" Chen Jing saw the Underworld Gate at a glance, and her heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

"Is this the Ghost Gate Pass? Oh no!" Seeing the Underworld Gate, Ling Shuang's expression changed drastically; her figure turned abruptly, wanting to get far away from this gateway.

An invisible suction force emanated from the Underworld Gate, wanting to absorb Ling Shuang's soul. Just then, specks of light spilled out from Ling Shuang's body, shrouding her and protecting her soul.

"This kind of power, so familiar!" Feeling the power emerging from Ling Shuang, Lingyun couldn't help but be shaken.

However, now was not the time to think about such things; the most important thing was still those ghosts.

"Go!"

Lingyun formed a seal with one hand and pressed it toward the Void. The outer Array opened a gap in the direction of the Underworld Gate.

The Array broke open a gap, and the ghosts within instantly surged out. The Underworld Gate emitted a massive suction force, absorbing all the surging ghosts into it.

Ji Haoyue, who was inside the Array, let out a muffled groan. Within his body, one could faintly see several fierce ghosts letting out shrill wails; even with the expulsion of the Purification Light, they did not want to leave his body.

"Truly worthy of being the World-Extinguishing Blood Curse; the strength of these fierce ghosts has already reached the level of Oni King! The strongest among them has even stepped into the Half-step Nascent Soul realm." Lingyun's gaze narrowed, and he grabbed with one hand.

Powerful Divine Sense condensed into countless silver rays of light, rapidly weaving together in his hand to form a one-inch-long Small Sword. This Small Sword specialized in attacking Divine Sense and was the best sharp weapon for dealing with all kinds of ghost entities.

The moment this Small Sword appeared, Chen Jing and Ling Shuang both couldn't help but take a step back, a trace of trepidation appearing in their eyes; they both felt a lethal killing intent from this sword.

"Silver Emperor Killing Sword, go!"

Lingyun waved his hand casually, and the small silver sword transformed into a stream of light, diving directly into the Array.

The fierce ghosts resisting in the Array simultaneously felt the lethal killing intent, letting out a roar in unison, and massive Resentment shot rapidly toward the stream of light.

"These executioners with hands full of blood can disappear now!" Lingyun sneered.

The Silver Emperor Killing Sword pressed forward without hesitation; no matter what kind of attack landed on the sword, it was instantly shredded into pieces, possessing the momentum of a single sword breaking ten thousand techniques. After breaking the fierce ghosts' spells, the Silver Emperor Killing Sword, with the force of a thunderbolt, pierced directly through the fierce ghosts in the field.

"Crack, crack."

The fierce ghosts pierced by the Silver Emperor Killing Sword let out shrill screams simultaneously, their forms shattering like broken pottery, and then they were completely reduced to nothingness under the Purification Light. No matter how the fierce ghosts in the array roared, before the Silver Emperor Killing Sword, they were all treated equally and turned into ashes.

Without the obstruction of these fierce ghosts, the speed at which the Purification Light purified the wronged souls increased greatly. Before long, no more wronged souls were overflowing from Ji Haoyue's body. The World-Extinguishing Blood Curse within him lost its foundation, collapsed under the Purification Light, and disappeared completely in a short while.

"Hum—"

After the World-Extinguishing Blood Curse was completely eradicated, the Array around Ji Haoyue naturally disintegrated and dissipated into the invisible. Ji Haoyue's body went limp, and he collapsed directly onto the ground. The Silver Emperor Killing Sword, which had been circling around Ji Haoyue, let out a soft hum and flew directly back into Lingyun's hand. The Underworld Gate absorbed the last ghost into the gate and then slowly sank into the ground.

"Haoyue." Seeing Ji Haoyue collapsed on the ground, Ling Shuang let out a soft cry, and her figure flashed to his side.

"Thankfully, it's just excessive physical exhaustion; as long as he recuperates well, it will be fine." After taking Ji Haoyue's pulse, Ling Shuang finally let out a long breath.

"This is for you, keep it for self-protection." Lingyun waved his hand, and the Silver Emperor Killing Sword flashed with a ray of light and landed in Ling Shuang's hand.

"Senior, what is this?" Ling Shuang looked at the small silver sword in her hand with some confusion.

The light on the small sword had completely faded, and it lacked the momentum of breaking ten thousand techniques it had just now.

"You will have a disaster involving bloodshed after this; this Silver Emperor Killing Sword can block a calamity for you," Lingyun said.

"This sword, how is its power?" Ling Shuang asked cautiously; the sight of the Silver Emperor Killing Sword slaughtering numerous fierce ghosts just now still left her with lingering fear.

"It can even kill a Nascent Soul," Lingyun said indifferently.

Ling Shuang's hand trembled, and the Silver Emperor Killing Sword in her hand almost fell to the ground. But remembering how several Half-step Nascent Soul fierce ghosts were killed by a single sword strike earlier, she suddenly realized this was not impossible.

"Hum—"

The Silver Emperor Killing Sword let out a hum, and amidst the flickering silver light, it transformed into a faint mark on Ling Shuang's right hand.

"Haoyue's body is weak right now and needs recuperation; once Haoyue has recovered, the two of us will come to pay a visit and express our thanks," Ling Shuang said to Lingyun while supporting Ji Haoyue.

Lingyun nodded, and after watching the two of them leave, he walked into the Villa. Although he was very interested in the mysterious power that had appeared on Ling Shuang earlier, he would wait until she came next time to ask.
