He originally thought this elder might be of the Ghost Race, but judging from the other’s words, it seemed unlikely. This person should be of the same nature as Wen Tianci; they don’t practice martial arts but possess enigmatic and mysterious magic.

Bang!

Before Qin Yuesheng’s Dragon-Slaying Sword could approach, a small shield suddenly appeared in front of the elder, blocking the Dragon-Slaying Sword. However, this shield was no match for the Dragon-Slaying Sword; it was sliced in half by Qin Yuesheng with just a slash.

Qin Yuesheng chuckled to himself, the advantage of having powerful weapons is also a form of strength. The opponent appeared mysterious and unfathomable, like an old monster hidden as a boss, yet who would have thought that the weapons they brought out were increasingly ineffective.

Including this small shield, this person has already had three weapons destroyed by him.

The elder’s face turned iron-blue; he had spent years accumulating resources and materials to forge these treasures, and they had never encountered an opponent before. Who would have thought that upon facing Qin Yuesheng, he would lose two treasures at once, even if repaired, they couldn’t be used again, which naturally angered him.

But this also proved from another perspective that Qin Yuesheng’s sword was no ordinary item. If he could seize it, the power of wielding Flying Sword techniques would be even greater in the future.

Screech!

Suddenly, the elder opened his mouth and let out a piercing scream.

Clearly, this shout was no ordinary tactic. Qin Yuesheng only felt his vision blur, and the world in his eyes turned pure white. Countless female apparitions appeared, each with a ghastly pale face, bleeding profusely from their seven orifices, ugly, monstrous figures raising their Nine-Yin White Bone Claws, lunging at Qin Yuesheng.

Qin Yuesheng’s expression only wavered slightly before he reacted. The opponent was using this Sound Wave Skill, and he naturally offered no weakness, directly countering with the Soul-Shattering Roar.

The Soul-Shattering Roar was originally designed to counter ghosts. As soon as Qin Yuesheng unleashed the roar, these apparitions instantly collapsed, disappearing from his sight.

"What?" The elder was completely unprepared for Qin Yuesheng to counteract his ghostly infestation so quickly, and Qin Yuesheng’s Seven Great Limits of Heaven and Earth was directly unleashed, giving the elder no chance to react.

The elder’s Golden Light Shield exploded instantly, unable to withstand Qin Yuesheng’s blade. Just as the blade was about to sever his head, a massive ghostly entity beneath his feet suddenly moved.

With a tremor from the enormous evil spirit, its body swallowed the elder whole, causing Qin Yuesheng’s strike to miss its target and instead hitting the massive evil spirit.

Glug glug glug!

The massive evil spirit’s body began to boil like hot water and started to stir. Clearly, the strike it took from Qin Yuesheng not only saved the elder but also didn’t leave the spirit unharmed.

Seeing his prey escape, Qin Yuesheng instantly grew furious, unleashing all his skills onto the massive evil spirit. With the dual anti-demonic methods of Profound Celestial Internal Power and Primordial Qi, the enormous evil spirit couldn’t withstand the assault, its body blasted with a hole no smaller than the previous one Qin Yuesheng had made.

Hidden inside the massive evil spirit, the elder began to feel the gravity of the situation. It seemed that aside from his trump card technique of summoning the pair of giant hands, none of his other skills could pose a threat to Qin Yuesheng.

"The Mountain Ghost doesn’t have much strength and can’t resist for long. This time I’ve truly miscalculated, didn’t expect this imp to be so tough. I better escape," the elder thought upon seeing the increasingly large hole appearing above the sky, unwilling to continue fighting Qin Yuesheng.

Although he could still summon the giant hands to attack Qin Yuesheng, the cost was immense. He had already used them twice today, even Inner Power Realm martial artists of the Sixth Layer would be crushed under those hands, yet today he encountered someone who had evaded the giant hands’ assault twice, leaving the elder thoroughly surprised.

After summoning the yet undamaged giant seal and acquiring some items from the room where the coffin was placed, the elder immediately fled in another direction.

Under Qin Yuesheng’s attacks, the massive evil spirit cried out noisily, apparently only capable of making this sound. As Qin Yuesheng continued to injure it, the spirit occasionally stretched out its arm to strike at Qin Yuesheng. But its speed was far too slow; not even an Inner Power Realm martial artist of the First Layer would find themselves unable to dodge its attacks. Watching itself continually miss Qin Yuesheng, the spirit also started to feel the urge to flee, preparing to burrow into the ground, its head disappearing into the earth within a few blinks.

There was no way Qin Yuesheng would allow such an evil spirit to escape, not only to prevent it from harming others but also considering the potential amount of All-Purpose Essence he could extract from such a large evil spirit. Qin Yuesheng used two forms of the Seven Limits Saber Skill, striking alternately, finally reducing the spirit’s body to pieces, completely immobilizing it as it burrowed underground.

Observing the immobile massive evil spirit, Qin Yuesheng immediately pressed down on its body, using the decomposition skill.

[Decomposition successful: Acquired ’Ghost Pill x1’ ’Mountain Ghost Pearl x1’]

The Mountain Ghost was so enormous, its Ghost Pill was naturally unlike those from ordinary Ghost Race entities. Staring at a Ghost Pill that nearly towered over him by twice his height after decomposition, Qin Yuesheng couldn’t help but be stunned.

He broke off a piece and inserted it into his mouth.

All-Purpose Essence +300

Qin Yuesheng marvelled to himself; if he wanted to consume it all, it would surely take a day or two, and bringing away such a massive Ghost Pill would require him to haul it on his back, which would appear incredibly odd to outsiders.

"Hmm, the massive evil spirit is dead, why haven’t I seen that old ghost?" Qin Yuesheng surveyed the empty surroundings but saw no sign of anyone. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

He immediately employed the Carefree Heavenly Travel Skill to ascend into the sky, pairing it with the Biluo Eye to scan the area, finally spotting the elder over a thousand measures westward, dragging a giant seal at a sprint.

"At last, I’ve found you." Qin Yuesheng extended his hand to summon the enormous Ghost Pill, holding it tightly with six arms, and immediately activated ’Distance of a Thousand Yards’ to chase after rapidly.

Having used ’Distance of a Thousand Yards’ once before, Qin Yuesheng could easily leap over a thousand measures at a moment’s notice; even though the elder fled early and ran swiftly, to Qin Yuesheng, catching up was mere seconds away.

"Huff huff huff!" The elder advanced several measures with each step, maintaining quick progress without taking large strides. In the martial arts realm, this speed was considered quite commendable.

Yet, in the face of Qin Yuesheng’s orange talent, it was utterly insufficient.

Upon hearing the gust behind him, the elder instinctively glanced back, almost leaping from his skin as his eyes nearly popped out.

Despite having escaped so far, Qin Yuesheng somehow appeared right behind him, not far away.

"Truly haunting!" The elder’s heart raced, hurriedly quickening his pace.

Qin Yuesheng quickly ceased ’Distance of a Thousand Yards’; if he continued, he might find himself surpassing the elder by thousands of measures.

He reached out to grab the elder’s back, but the elder wasn’t ordinary, deftly ducking and rolling to avoid Qin Yuesheng’s grasp.

"Ha!" The elder rose and with a backward toss, a swarm of dark Huang Feng shot out of his hand densely towards Qin Yuesheng.

"This old monster certainly has a myriad of techniques." Qin Yuesheng pointed his sword, circling it to swiftly shred the Huang Feng into bits, causing them to fall to the ground without bothering Qin Yuesheng at all.

"Damn it, relentless spirit." The elder waved his hand, sending the giant seal flying back at Qin Yuesheng.

But even if it couldn’t disturb Qin Yuesheng the first time, it would be hard-pressed to succeed now. Qin Yuesheng slashed, splitting the already damaged giant seal in half.

"If you have any more tricks, go ahead and use them." Qin Yuesheng shouted.

"You can’t kill me! I am a disciple of the White Lotus Saint Sect; killing me means opposing the entire White Lotus Saint Sect!" The elder fell unexpectedly to the ground, seeing Qin Yuesheng’s intent to kill, hurriedly exclaimed.

"White Lotus Saint Sect?" Qin Yuesheng’s sword stopped a few fingers from the elder’s forehead.

If he were to slash down now, the elder’s skull would be bisected.

Feeling the blade at his head, the elder sighed with relief, grateful that the sect’s name proved its worth.

Yet, before the elder could ponder further, he was immediately hoisted into the air, held by Qin Yuesheng.

Qin Yuesheng said, "I’ve never heard of any White Lotus Saint Sect. What is this?"
