I Can Travel between Two Worlds-Chapter 172 - 121: The Ghost-eyed Child Appears, Half the City Destroyed (Part 2)
Even the puppets comparable to Foundation Establishment Cultivators couldn’t withstand two punches.
Moreover, Long Ba and Feng Jiu showed no signs of fatigue, continuously striking with full force until dozens of Dog Skin Puppets were smashed to death.
Not far away, Li Yu watched this scene, a look of surprise on his face.
"This pair of Dao companions is truly strange... Their strength seems inexhaustible, and their physical bodies are so powerful. Working together, they might even give me a headache!"
Though surprised by Long Ba and Feng Jiu’s combat prowess, the current situation left Li Yu no time for deep thought.
Li Yu wished that the strength of the two puppets could be stronger, which would increase their odds of victory.
Once most of the Dog Skin Puppets were cleared away, Li Yu shouted loudly:
"Fellow Daoists, cover me. I intend to cast a spell to burn the ancient trees on this Chaotic Burial Mound..."
"These trees have ruined the feng shui, causing the yin energy here to be extremely heavy. If ghost creatures from the Ghost-Exorcising Sect come, their power will greatly increase!"
Upon hearing this, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators all stepped forward to cover him.
Under their protection, Li Yu summoned a fox with a completely red body.
Ranked ninety-second on the Beast Fire List, the Swift Fire Fox!
Judging by the size of this fox, it seems to be fully grown, with strength not inferior to the late Foundation Establishment stage.
With Li Yu’s permission, the Swift Fire Fox leapt lightly into the air. With a sharp mouth, it spewed high-temperature flames towards the surrounding yin woods.
The beast fire emitted by the Swift Fire Fox is called Gale Beast Fire, characterized by a large and fast fire blaze.
In no time, hundreds of ancient trees on this Chaotic Burial Mound were engulfed in raging flames.
Old trees, withered branches, and fallen leaves toppled to the ground, crackling in the fire.
The more the flames burned, the brighter this desolate, burial mound became.
This is because the fierce fire consumed the withered woods obstructing the view and also burned away the yin energy in the Chaotic Burial Mound.
The cultivators saw this and were overjoyed.
Once the yin energy of this Chaotic Burial Mound was burned away, the power of the Ghost-Exorcising Sect and Puppet Hall would surely be greatly reduced.
Yet, just as they were jubilant, a strange wind suddenly swept through the Chaotic Burial Mound.
Immediately thereafter, a crimson red eye appeared within the black wind.
This eye, unlike a human eye, had a vertical pupil and mysterious patterns carved into the whites.
Upon looking at the Swift Fire Fox with this red ghost eye, the fire fox whimpered a few times, its aura gradually diminishing.
In the end, it directly died tragically...
"What the hell!? What kind of eye is this..."
The foundation cultivators’ faces changed drastically, all looking towards Li Yu.
But they saw Li Yu standing there dazed, his face alternating between blue and red, yet not daring to move recklessly.
When the black mist dispersed, a small child, half the height of a man, stood on the ground.
This child seemed to be seven or eight years old, with snow-white skin, but with a few ghostly tattoos on his body, appearing quite frightening.
However, the most unnerving thing was his pair of crimson eyes, resembling ghost eyes.
Once Li Yu saw this child’s face clearly, he was so frightened that his face changed drastically, shouting without a second thought:
"Run!"
With that shout, everyone realized the identity of this ghost child...
Supreme Elder of the Ghost-Exorcising Sect, Ghost-eyed Child!
A Great Cultivator at the late Core Formation stage!
Far beyond what Li Yu could contend with, let alone be handled by these Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
So, more than a dozen cultivators fled frantically without hesitation.
"Haha, you actually recognize me... In that case, you might as well kill yourselves!"
The ghost-eyed child stood there, hands behind his back.
Looking like a precocious child, yet with an eerie gaze, smile, and shocking words spoken from his mouth.
None present dared to underestimate him.
Though frightened, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators weren’t willing to kill themselves, fleeing one after another behind Li Yu.
The ghost-eyed child sneered at this sight, speaking to several black mists beside him:
"Useless things! Now my grand plans will be delayed again..."
"Hmph, but just in time to take the souls of these cultivators to nurture that Primordial Nether Stage Great Ghost!"
Bloodthirst gleamed in the ghost-eyed child’s eyes.
While speaking, he patted the tattoos on his body.
The blue-white evil ghosts depicted on the tattoos materialized as ghost creatures, rushing towards the surrounding Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
As for the ghost-eyed child himself, he pursued Li Yu.
"Luck was really on my side, bumping into a Core Formation Cultivator... Since that’s the case, you’ll become nourishment for my Primordial Nether Great Ghost!"
The ghost-eyed child let out a sinister laugh, transforming into a black fog flying towards Li Yu.
Li Yu did not dare to look back, rushing madly towards Jade Belt City.
Amid their chase, cries of mortals occasionally rose from Jade Belt City.
As the saying goes, when immortals fight, mortals suffer.
Though Li Yu and the ghost-eyed child were not Immortals, the shockwaves from a battle at the Core Formation Stage could leave half the city’s mortals dead and without burial.
...
Meanwhile, outside the south of the city.
Fifteen hundred zhang deep underground, Lin Chen couldn’t be bothered with the severe consumption of True Essence.
Continuously employing the Earth Escape Technique, digging deeper underground.
"Damn it, really crossed paths with a late Core Formation Stage old monster... This thing I can’t fight, better dig this hole a bit deeper!"
Lin Chen didn’t care about anything else, consistently digging downward.
With the cultivation of the past half month, Lin Chen’s mastery of the Earth Escape Technique was close to Minor Achievement.
Digging three thousand zhang a day was no problem.
"Set a small goal first, dig ten thousand zhang underground... By then, this Ghost-Eyed Old Monster shouldn’t be able to find me!"
Lin Chen thought to himself silently.
As for the two puppets Long Ba and Feng Jiu?
At this point... he couldn’t be bothered to retrieve them.
At worst, after returning to Blue Star, have Great Xia craft two new ones...
"Even if I donned the Celestial Demon Battle Armor, facing an old monster at the late Core Formation Stage I might still be at a disadvantage."
"The only one capable of delivering a devastating strike would be that nuclear peacemaker... provided that it could hit of course!"
