Volume Two - The Map of the Nine Provinces Revealed, Entering the Spirit Void Sect Chapter Ninety-Three: The Master of the Ghost Abyss Sect

Even as everyone still stood in confusion, the master of the Ghost Abyss Sect in the pool had already opened his scarlet eyes and fixed them on the crowd with a gaze as cold as frost. He cried out in a rasping, hoarse voice, “Bold wretches! You dare kill my disciples? Die!”

An elder of the Heart Sword Sect cried in panic, “His corpse aura and body have already turned green. Green... a walking corpse? Does that not mean he is on par with the Heavenly Human realm?”

“Bad... run!” Zhao Ying and the others finally reacted and shouted in alarm.

Who would still dare linger? They all fled in a rush toward the exit.

Chen Yu, hiding in a corner, also felt the terror of that aura, his heart pounding violently.

“No... no... calm down, calm down...” he kept warning himself inwardly, doing all he could to restrain his own aura, treading carefully for fear of being discovered.

By then, the master of Ghost Abyss had already killed his way over, that dreadful power sweeping forward with irresistible force.

“Kill!” At this moment, Chu Shu did not retreat. Instead, he raised his sword to meet the attack.

“Junior Brother Chu!” Zhao Ying shouted urgently. But he could not afford to hold back any longer, and quickly followed, joining Chu Shu in battle against the master of Ghost Abyss.

“Senior Brother Zhao, Junior Brother Chu, we will help you too.” The other two Lingxu Sect disciples in the Yin-Yang realm also rushed up separately.

Yet even with four against one, Chu Shu and the others were actually blasted backward.

“Jie hahaha... You think the lot of you can stop me?” the master of Ghost Abyss mocked wickedly.

“Kill... Supreme Pure Spirit Scripture!”

“Vault of Heaven Sword Art!”

“Pure Spirit Sword Art!”

“Mystic Heart Sword Art!”

Four streams of sword qi burst forth with dazzling sharpness. In an instant, the green corpse aura on the master of Ghost Abyss was torn apart, striking straight at his body. But what none of the four had expected was that their swords had merely broken a thin layer of flesh.

“Jie hahaha... To wound me even a little counts as some talent on your part,” he sneered. His fierce claws descended, and in an instant the four were blasted back.

He did not continue attacking them. Instead, he turned toward the fleeing cultivators and said, “Since you came in, then all of you stay. Become my blood meal and help me attain the Dao.”

He darted out, his sharp claws tearing through the air and ripping open Gao Ye’s chest in a single stroke. Gao Ye’s body withered at once, all his blood essence astonishingly sucked dry by the master of Ghost Abyss.

The four who had just caught up to Chu Shu and the others could not help but change expression.

“Master of Ghost Abyss, how dare you commit such slaughter upon all living beings? You are courting death!” Chu Shu roared in fury, unleashing the Supreme Pure Spirit Scripture straight at the master of Ghost Abyss’s eyes.

“Hmph... and what of it?” the master of Ghost Abyss said coldly. “Today, none of you will escape.”

Though he said that, he only defended against Chu Shu’s killing move and did not counterattack. Instead, he charged directly toward the exit, clearly intending to hunt down the others.

“You fiend, do not run!” Zhao Ying also roared. Burning with rage, they chased after him, intent on stopping him from killing again.

The passages seemed long enough, but under their desperate sprint, only a few blinks of an eye passed.

By then, the master of Ghost Abyss had already reached the first burial chamber of the Nine Palaces Gate.

Wang Ji, Li Qing, and the others who had only just fled there were startled. “The master of Ghost Abyss? How could...”

“Jie hahaha... Good, good. So you are all gathered here? Splendid... then all of you can die.”

“Kill! Don’t run, everyone. Fight him to the end!” Wang Ji roared.

“Junior Brother Wang, no!” Li Qing cried out in alarm. But the next moment, Wang Ji was sent flying by a single palm strike, slamming hard into the wall and coughing up blood.

“Kill!” Li Qing, Liao Kai, Wu Yue, and the others also knew that the master of Ghost Abyss had sealed off the exit. If they wished to survive, they had no choice but to kill him.

“Heh... overestimating yourselves.” The master of Ghost Abyss smiled with sinister charm as corpse aura billowed outward. His ferocious claw wind swept down, and with that alone, he repelled the crowd in turn.

“Heh heh... who should I start with first?” He looked at the panicked group with cruel amusement, then suddenly lunged toward the two Heart Sword Sect disciples.

“No—” The two had barely spoken before their necks were twisted and broken.

“Demon...” Wu Yue shouted in rage.

“A demon? Hahahaha...” The master of Ghost Abyss sneered and tore toward Wu Yue.

“Senior Sister!” Seeing this, Xie Liang at her side was thrown into disarray. Without regard for his own life, he threw himself forward to shield Wu Yue.

With a wet crack, Xie Liang’s chest was pierced straight through.

“Junior Brother...” Wu Yue was utterly stunned. “No...”

“Oh? That’s rather touching,” the master of Ghost Abyss taunted wickedly, then without the slightest hesitation tore Xie Liang’s body clean in two.

“Ah...” Wu Yue let out a heart-rending scream. “You... you monster, I’ll kill you...”

“Jie hahaha...” The master of Ghost Abyss laughed wildly. His demonic claw shot toward Wu Yue’s body.

“Fiend, how dare you still act vicious!” Zhao Ying roared. He flew out from the gate, his sword thrusting like lightning.

“Hmph, excellent. Let this sect master send you all to the Western Heavens together,” the master of Ghost Abyss said with a cold laugh. The claw reaching for Wu Yue suddenly changed, colliding with Zhao Ying’s longsword.

Boom...

Zhao Ying was blasted back, though the master of Ghost Abyss also withdrew half a step.

And at that very moment, Chu Shu and the other two struck out from behind Zhao Ying.
