Random Recommendation:

Like a jade doll, the cherubic Sun Lingtong traversed spatial ripples, arriving at the underground base.

But before his feet could touch the ground, his pupils constricted violently as he sensed a vast magical power enveloping him.

The power was infused with a chilling Yin energy, like a tidal wave swallowing the shore.

“An enemy!”

“I’ve been ambushed!”

Sun Lingtong instinctively tried to activate his spell again to teleport back.

But Luo Shang had been waiting here for many days, well-prepared, having already laid out half a formation around the underground base.

The moment Sun Lingtong appeared, Luo Shang immediately dispatched his ghost servants, using their bodies to complete the formation.

As the formation activated, Sun Lingtong retreated, but no ripples appeared in the air.

The sudden change in the battlefield nullified his teleportation magic.

“Little brat, you’ve grown tired of living, daring to slaughter my Soul Devouring Sect’s Golden Core cultivator!”

“Speak!”

“Where is Qi Bai’s corpse? Hand it over!”

“Cooperate obediently, surrender without resistance, and I might spare your life, waiting for the people from the Emptiness Gate to redeem you.”

Luo Shang appeared, surrounded by swirling Yin winds and countless ghostly figures.

“Golden Core demonic cultivator!”

“You’re Luo Shang, the direct disciple of the Soul Devouring Sect.”

In an instant, Sun Lingtong recognized Luo Shang’s identity.

He couldn’t help but feel a jolt of alarm.

Sun Lingtong had anticipated that the Soul Devouring Sect would retaliate against him. He just hadn’t expected that the demonic cultivators of the Soul Devouring Sect had penetrated so deeply into the underground base.

Luo Shang had been lying in wait for days, finally catching his desired prey!

“I shouldn’t have come back here!” Sun Lingtong regretted in his heart.

But then he thought: the strategy of relocating periodically was the right one after all.

“If I had stayed in one underground base, I would have been discovered sooner.”

“But how did he find me?”

“Could it be because I recklessly opened Qi Bai’s storage pouch last time?”

Sun Lingtong immediately thought of this possibility. Because that clue was obvious—he was here at the time, disassembling Qi Bai’s storage pouch.

“I clearly extinguished the lingering Qi at the time.”

“Wait, now is not the time to delve into these trivial details.”

“The immediate priority is to find a way out!”

Although the underground base was surrounded by the formation laid by Luo Shang, Sun Lingtong couldn’t teleport directly.

But he could break through with his physical body, and there was still some hope of escape.

“Hehe,” Sun Lingtong called out, “Do you think you can catch me like this?”

With that, he reached into his bosom and pulled out a stack of talismans.

Illusionary Body Talismans!

He directly scattered the talismans in his hand.

The talismans ignited in mid-air, activating rapidly and transforming into copies of Sun Lingtong.

Dozens of Sun Lingtongs fled in all directions. For a moment, Luo Shang needed to use targeted methods, otherwise it would be difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.

Since Sun and Ning had long anticipated retaliation, they had already begun to prepare.

These Illusionary Body Talismans were mass-produced by Ning Zhuo’s subordinates, specifically used to confuse the enemy, and were a handy tool for escape.

“Thanks to Little Zhuo.”

Sun Lingtong, mixed in with the illusory bodies, fled towards the outermost wall.

“Right, I need to warn Little Zhuo first!”

Sun Lingtong used three methods in succession, afraid that the alarm wouldn’t go out.

But after doing so, he immediately regretted it.

“What am I doing?”

“If Little Zhuo knows that I’m in danger, he will definitely come to save me.”

“If I drag him into this, wouldn’t I be harming him?”

“After all, he doesn’t have the Tree Warrior Fighting Ape, Da Sheng, anymore!”

Sun Lingtong’s expression changed frequently.

Suddenly, his heart trembled and his hair stood on end.

In an instant, cold sweat dripped from his forehead, all because he suddenly realized something strange: “Ever since I entered this underground base, random thoughts have been constantly arising.”

“I’ve been tricked!”

“Luo Shang cultivates the Soul-Stealing Gloom Art, which excels at stirring up other people’s emotions, making their thoughts chaotic, while he himself remains completely calm.”

Thinking of this, Sun Lingtong immediately responded to the Emptiness Imprint deep within his soul.

He was exceptionally talented and had high comprehension. After the previous battle with Qi Bai, and after reflection and analysis, he had improved in all aspects.

The same was true for the Emptiness Imprint.

Sun Lingtong was now able to borrow the power of the Emptiness Imprint much more effectively than before.

The imprint unleashed its power, immediately clearing his mind and sweeping away all kinds of stray thoughts.

Sun Lingtong’s gaze stabilized, without the slightest hesitation.

Luo Shang was secretly casting a spell, detecting which of the many “Sun Lingtongs” had the greatest emotional fluctuations.

Just as he was about to succeed, everything suddenly vanished, as if a fishing net had been pulled out of the water, and the fish inside had broken free and re-entered the water.

“Interesting.” A sharp glint flashed in Luo Shang’s eyes, his expression unchanged.

With a thought, ghost generals emerged from the surrounding Yin winds and ghostly mist.

The four ghost generals all possessed Foundation Establishment cultivation, silently killing towards the Sun Lingtongs in the field.

Although the Illusionary Body Talismans were realistic, they didn’t carry any of the original body’s combat power, so they were easily defeated by the ghost generals one by one.

Sun Lingtong wanted to break through the wall, but was intercepted by the ghost generals.

The four ghost generals found the real body and immediately surrounded him.

Sun Lingtong dodged left and right, extremely fast, his movements nimble to the extreme, slippery as an eel, making the four ghost generals exhausted and appear clumsy.

However, this didn’t last long.

Sun Lingtong couldn’t borrow the power of the Emptiness Imprint for long periods of time, as it caused severe mental strain.

He had to stop using it, and in doing so, he was once again plunged into a situation of constant emotional fluctuations and chaotic interference.

His movements frequently stalled, and his expression hesitated between changes.

The four ghost generals were, after all, ghostly beings, and had been specially refined by Luo Shang, so they had few emotions and thoughts, and were minimally affected.

As a result, Sun Lingtong was soon in dire straits.

Seeing this, Luo Shang seized an opportunity and manipulated the four ghost generals to attack together.

Using the four ghost generals as formation foundations, they formed a battle formation.

The battle formation formed a light罩, which, after covering Sun Lingtong, contracted continuously.

Seeing that he was about to be caught in a trap, Sun Lingtong could only fight with all his might!

With a flip of his wrist, a dagger landed in each of his small, fleshy hands.

He then used his divine sense to retrieve an object, releasing a vial of liquid from his storage palm.

The vial fell, shattered in mid-air by Sun Lingtong’s dagger, and the medicinal oil immediately sprayed out.
Sun Lingtong, focused on cultivating his Divine Treasury, utilized his divine sense to manipulate objects, coating the two daggers entirely with medicinal oil.

In the next moment, while dodging the Ghost General’s attacks, Sun Lingtong frantically poured mana into the daggers.

The daggers began to shimmer with blade light.

The blade light was a limpid blue, like the brilliance of a diamond’s refraction, sharp and utterly clear.

Sun Lingtong’s self-created blade technique – Meteor Fall!

His face was filled with determination.

From its very inception, the Meteor Fall blade technique was meant for desperate measures.

Its power was immense, and its aftereffects were equally severe; it was a forbidden art among Sun Lingtong’s self-created techniques!

The daggers were like meteors, shining with their final brilliance in the desperate long night.

Whether it would be the fall of the meteor or the fall of the enemy depended on Sun Lingtong’s own execution.

Sun Lingtong became one with his blades, transforming into a limpid blue meteor, exploding forth.

His speed was astonishing as he charged wildly within the light barrier.

The four Foundation Establishment stage ghosts all made dodging motions, but they were still shattered and obliterated by Sun Lingtong one by one!

Without the array anchors, the light barrier formed by the battle formation dissipated.

Taking advantage of the momentum, Sun Lingtong charged toward the outer wall.

Luo Shang, expressionless, suddenly pointed a finger.

Ghostly entities lurking in the shadows suddenly appeared, at the Foundation Establishment level, blocking his escape route directly in front of Sun Lingtong.

Sun Lingtong was already nearing the end of his strength. Seeing the ghosts rushing toward him, he had no time to change tactics and could only clash head-on.

But who knew that this ghost would explode upon contact.

Boom!!

The starlight around Sun Lingtong was scattered.

For a moment, ghostly aura and starlight intertwined, colliding and shooting in all directions.

“Everything is within my grasp,” Luo Shang said, still without expression.

Just at this moment, space suddenly fluctuated, and a crossbow bolt pierced through the air, locking onto Luo Shang’s back!

The tip of the crossbow bolt was entirely covered in purple venom, giving one a strong intuitive sense of its potent toxicity.

The crossbow bolt was of a special construction, inherently silent, but when it struck Luo Shang’s back, it suddenly erupted in a loud cicada’s cry!

In an instant, the atmosphere of the battlefield changed.

It was as if an eerie, dilapidated, damp, and dark old house, filled with the stench of rot and mildew, suddenly had a wall collapse, allowing the sunlight and fresh air from outside to rush in.

It was the sunlight of summer!

Accompanied by the rolling heat was endless life force.

To deal with Luo Shang, Yang Chanyu had specifically chosen this move, possessing a strong Yang attribute.

How long Luo Shang had been setting up his ambush for Sun Lingtong, that’s how long Yang Chanyu of the Bukong Sect had been preparing!

She cultivated the Old Cicada Skill and was very skilled at accumulating power for an attack.

When she cast her spells and silently accumulated power, her mana aura was extremely concealed, without a trace of leakage. When released, the spell burst forth, producing a cicada’s cry, and its power far exceeded the norm, making it truly astonishing.

How long had Yang Chanyu been silently accumulating power for this one strike?

Almost as long as Luo Shang had been laying in wait!

Therefore, the crossbow bolt, carrying the power to pierce through everything, struck Luo Shang.

Luo Shang had already inflated his robes in preparation for battle.

As a result, these robes were like paper, pierced through by the crossbow bolt.

Luo Shang’s eyes widened. At the critical moment of life and death, he abandoned all concerns and unleashed his full power!

An inner armor emerged, and was pierced.

A long banner flew out, and the pole snapped and the banner fell.

A token appeared, and was shattered.

The last clay jar blocked the path of the crossbow bolt, and was likewise destroyed.

Sealed within the jar was a Ghost General at the nascent soul stage!

She was curled into a ball, with four talismans attached to her surface, aiding in her suppression and sealing.

The Ghost General was pierced by the crossbow bolt, suffering a severe blow.

She had originally been sleeping peacefully, but suddenly encountered a heavy blow. In her rage, she unfolded her body, instantly becoming a towering female ghost, nine feet tall.

She raised her head and opened her mouth, emitting a piercing scream, the ghostly sound shaking the entire underground base.

“Old Granny Qiushui, save me!” Luo Shang contacted the female ghost with his divine sense.

The female ghost ignored him, and in her fury, pounced on Yang Chanyu.

In the next instant, Luo Shang’s body shuddered violently as the poisonous crossbow bolt pierced directly through his heart.

Luo Shang tried his best to resist, but ultimately failed, and was struck by Yang Chanyu’s heavy blow accumulated over many days!
