Chapter 803: Grievous Injury

Within the Ghost Domain of the Saigyou Ayakashi, Lingyun's figure crashed heavily onto the ground, directly blasting a large crater into the hard earth.

"Tsk tsk, the main body really suffered a huge loss this time." The clone holding a battle-axe released red flames, turning all the specters and skeletons around him into ash.

"Hey, the main body won't be in trouble, right?" asked a clone driving a frost behemoth.

"What kind of person is the main body? How could he be in trouble?" the clone dressed in a white formal suit, controlling countless Floating Cannons, said with a calm expression. "At most, he'll just make a fool of himself. Besides, isn't that Saigyou Ayakashi what you should be worried about right now?"

"Chirp—"

Under the urging of the Saigyou Ayakashi, massive Death Qi and countless branches and roots intertwined, transforming into a bizarre specter that stabbed fiercely toward the large crater. Amidst a violent, booming sound, smoke and dust surged into the sky, shrouding the entire crater.

"Tsk, the 'no smoke, no damage' law has been triggered at a time like this!" the clone with the Whispering Manuscript floating beside him remarked. "Next up is when the main body goes berserk!"

A golden pillar of light suddenly shot up from the crater, directly blasting away the smoke filling the battlefield. The Saigyou Ayakashi let out a shrill shriek; within the golden pillar, whether it was Death Qi, branches, or roots, everything turned to ash in an instant.

A golden figure suddenly leaped out of the crater and landed heavily on the ground. The moment he landed, a scorching aura radiated from his body. The ground beneath the figure's feet actually developed cracks due to the intense heat.

"Cough, cough, I didn't expect to fall for your trick." Lingyun, having jumped out of the crater, could not help but cough lightly and reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Lingyun's gaze fell upon that pale moon in the sky; he had not noticed before that this Dark Moon was actually the trump card of the Saigyou Ayakashi. Caught off guard, he had just been sent flying by a strike from this Dark Moon. Now, on his chest and abdomen, there remained a wound left by this Dark Moon. The area struck by the Dark Moon had turned completely grayish-white, clearly eroded by Death Qi. Meanwhile, the Sun Fire on Lingyun's body was constantly burning away this Death Qi.

"This time it really is a huge loss." Probing his own injuries, Lingyun's mouth curled into an ugly smile. "Two ribs broken, internal organs have varying degrees of trauma, and there is also Death Qi intrusion; this is truly troublesome!"

Although he said it was troublesome, golden flames burned in Lingyun's eyes, and the aura on his body began to climb once again.

"It's over, it's over, that guy is done for." The clone holding a knight's lance, surrounded by chains and hurricanes, spoke up. "The Saigyou Ayakashi is going to have bad luck!"

"That's right, there's a good show to watch!" the clone with countless Western musical instruments floating beside him nodded as well.

Seeing that Lingyun had appeared once again, the Saigyou Ayakashi let out an angry roar. The Dark Moon floating in the sky trembled slightly and began to move once more.

"God Phoenix!"

Lingyun grabbed at the Void with both hands, and the surging Sun Fire on his body erupted as his figure shot into the sky. In an instant, it was as if a sun had appeared in the sky. The moment the sun appeared, the Saigyou Ayakashi let out a shrill shriek; for it, as a symbol of death, the sun was absolutely one of its greatest nemeses.

The Dark Moon in the sky traced a flickering trajectory, colliding toward Lingyun's direction with a speed that seemed slow but was actually fast; the Death Qi on the Dark Moon had almost condensed into a physical form. Lingyun's figure flickered, transforming into a Winged Dragon of Ra burning with Sun Fire, and lunged toward the Dark Moon.

When the Dark Moon and the Winged Dragon of Ra collided, a terrifying shockwave instantly swept across the entire battlefield. Under the collision of these two powerful forces, the entire Ghost Domain began to shake, seemingly on the verge of shattering at any moment.

Seeing the situation was bad, the Lingyun clones instantly hid inside the shadow space. Numerous skeletons and specters were torn to shreds in an instant. The immobile Saigyou Ayakashi, however, bore the full brunt of this terrifying shockwave. The Death Qi responsible for its protection was instantly destroyed, and the shockwave ravaged its body, snapping all of its weaker branches.

Just as the Dark Moon and the Phoenix were locked in a stalemate, Lingyun's figure suddenly appeared above the Dark Moon, terrifying energy fluctuations condensing between his palms.

"Haokong Cloud Breaking Collapse!"

Lingyun slammed both palms heavily onto the Dark Moon, the powerful force causing cracks to appear on it. Under the bombardment of the two great ultimate moves, the Dark Moon finally could not bear the burden and began to shatter. As the Dark Moon shattered, the terrifying Death Qi contained within it erupted instantly, and this terrifying Death Qi actually swallowed the God Phoenix and Lingyun whole in a split second.

The Dark Moon was shattered, and the Saigyou Ayakashi also let out a wail; clearly, the disappearance of this Dark Moon had caused it significant injury.

"Break for me!" A sharp shout came from the dark clouds formed by the Death Qi in the sky, and black Sword Qi instantly tore a huge gap in the clouds.

Lingyun fell from the sky and crashed heavily onto the ground, the powerful impact creating a large crater in the earth.

The moment Lingyun landed, countless tree roots transformed into sharp spears and pierced out from beneath his feet. The Saigyou Ayakashi, having had its Dark Moon destroyed, was clearly plunged into madness, disregarding its own injuries to try and put Lingyun to death.

However, these tree roots were torn to shreds by countless attacks the moment they appeared; Lingyun's clones jumped out from the shadow space, looking at Lingyun with a teasing expression.

"Oh my, main body, this state you're in is truly a rare sight!" the clone dressed in a wizard's robe adjusted his hat and said with a grin.

Lingyun couldn't help but roll his eyes: "How was I supposed to know that the Dark Moon contained a trace of the Will of the Netherworld? After shattering the Dark Moon just now, I went head-to-head with the Will of the Netherworld. But I suffered a loss, and the other side didn't fare much better!"

On the other side, the branches of the Saigyou Ayakashi stabbed toward Lingyun's direction once again. Lingyun twisted his body, and the black Light Sword in his hand swept out a streak of black Sword Qi, blasting toward the Saigyou Ayakashi.

The branches pierced by the Sword Qi immediately began to shatter, then dissipated into nothingness. The Sword Qi passed through layers of obstacles and slammed directly into the trunk of the Saigyou Ayakashi. The Saigyou Ayakashi let out a shrill shriek, and a deep sword mark appeared on its trunk. Although it possessed powerful recovery abilities, under the effect of the Destruction Power, it was completely unable to recover from this wound.

"Death cannot stop destruction!" the clone holding a long halberd said slowly.

The Saigyou Ayakashi, severely wounded by the Sword of Destruction, fell into a state of silence, and this Ghost Domain world could no longer be maintained, beginning to disintegrate.

"Alright, things are settled, we'll head back first; main body, take care of yourself." Lingyun's clones spoke to the Domain, then transformed into ten rays of light of different colors and darted into Lingyun's body.

Lingyun gazed at the distant sky, where a hint of dawn had already appeared. The Sword of Destruction in his hand shattered into six sword beams of different colors, which then dissipated.

"Is it already dawn?" A pallor rose on Lingyun's face, and a mouthful of blood sprayed directly onto the ground. "Cough, cough, it seems I really am not lightly injured this time; I need to find a place to recover!"

Just at this moment, the sound of footsteps approached. Lingyun looked up and saw a man dressed as a samurai walking in his direction.
