I Can Travel between Two Worlds-Chapter 173 - 121: The Ghost-eyed Child Appears, Half the City Annihilated (Part 3)
Lin Chen thought it over and decided that digging a cave was safer.
He decided to wait until he reached the Core Formation Stage before seeking revenge.
...
As Lin Chen frantically dug a cave underground, a chaotic battle erupted on the surface.
The Ghost-eyed Child and Li Yu were engaged in fierce combat in Jade Belt City.
The three ghost creatures released by the Ghost-eyed Child chased after a group of Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
Within moments, only half of the ten or so Foundation Establishment Cultivators remained.
This remaining half were terrified, with only one thought in mind: to escape into Jade Belt City!
No matter what, there were still thousands of cultivators inside Jade Belt City. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Even if trouble was pushed aside, their chances of survival were greater by escaping into the city!
Thus, the few surviving Foundation Establishment Cultivators fled back into Jade Belt City.
Long Ba and Feng Jiu, having received Lin Chen’s orders, also followed the group of cultivators in fleeing to Jade Belt City.
After all, if they stayed near Lin Chen, they would be easily discovered.
The ghost creatures raised by the Ghost Cultivators are not purely illusionary.
They exist between the physical and the spiritual.
They are immune to many physical attacks but excel in soul-related divine techniques.
Posing a significant threat to cultivators.
A Ghost Pill Stage ghost creature let out a sinister laugh and used the Soul Stealing Technique on Chairman Zheng.
Terrified, Chairman Zheng hurriedly tore apart several Exorcism Talismans, barely saving his life.
Then he slapped a few Clear Wind Talismans, Swift Movement Talismans on himself... activating secret techniques to escape quickly...
Guangyuan Commerce Association is a major association in Qing State, and although Chairman Zheng is only the head of a smaller branch, he has accumulated a fair share of benefits over the years.
Therefore, he has many means of protecting himself...
But other loose cultivators did not possess the same means as Chairman Zheng.
Luckier loose cultivators had one or two life-saving tricks, barely escaping from the Ghost Pill Stage ghost creatures.
While less fortunate loose cultivators had their souls stolen by the ghost creatures.
Ultimately, even their divine souls were absorbed by the ghost creatures, leading to total death.
After claiming the lives of three Foundation Establishment Cultivators, only Long Ba, Feng Jiu, and Chairman Zheng remained on the field.
Because Chairman Zheng ran too fast, the Ghost Pill Stage ghost creature finally set its sights on Long Ba.
In Jade Belt City, gusts of gale blew, removing the roofs from rows of tile houses.
Long Ba ran around the city, fleeing the attacks of the ghost creatures.
The ghost creatures used the Soul Capturing Skill on Long Ba...
Hmm...
Long Ba continued to flee forward.
The Ghost Pill Stage ghost creature stood bewildered, confused after a few breaths; it persisted and used the Soul Stealing Technique again...
Hmm...
Long Ba ran even faster.
For the first time, the ghost creature began to doubt its own technique and looked at Feng Jiu.
Again, it performed the Soul Stealing Technique...
Feng Jiu ran as fast as Long Ba.
After fleeing for a long time, the sky gradually grew dim.
Yet Long Ba and Feng Jiu showed no signs of fatigue.
Instead, the Ghost Pill Stage ghost creature pursuing them grew weary.
...
At the same time, in another part of Jade Belt City.
Ghost-eyed Child and Li Yu were engaged in a fierce battle.
Li Yu, while continuously retreating, was still able to resist for a while, given he was a Core Formation Cultivator.
But it was evident he couldn’t hold out much longer.
Finally, gritting his teeth, he threatened:
"Ghost-Eyed Old Monster, do you really want mutual destruction?"
"If you keep pushing me... I can slaughter all the mortals in this city, and your Primordial Nether Stage ghost creatures will never be born!"
Upon hearing this, Ghost-eyed Child paused.
With eyes fixed on Li Yu, he snarled:
"Ha, you... threaten me?"
"I, Ghost Eye, fear nothing, especially threats!"
"Well then... die!"
The Ghost Cultivators of the Ghost-Exorcising Sect invest nearly half their power into their ghost creatures.
Currently, the strongest ghost creature of the Ghost-eyed Child is striving for the Primordial Nether Stage.
The remaining ghost creatures are pursuing the others...
At this moment, he summoned each ghost eye back.
"...Why so slow? Stop chasing... let’s deal with this guy first!"
With the Ghost-eyed Child recalling his ghost creatures, a Peak of Soul Condensation ghost creature, two Ghost Pill Stage initial ghost creatures.
Plus Ghost-eyed Child at the Peak of Eighth Turn Golden Core, teamed up to tackle Li Yu.
The previously struggling Li Yu was instantly overwhelmed and in grave danger.
Seeing he was about to die, Li Yu charged toward the densest part of Jade Belt City.
His entire True Essence transformed into a blazing inferno, burning the helpless cries of mortals in Jade Belt City.
Wherever he passed, dozens of streets... countless citizens perished in the flames...
"Hahaha, Ghost-Eyed Old Monster! You forced me... if you’re going to kill me, I won’t make things easy for you!"
Li Yu, knowing he was no match, decided not to fight back, instead massacring mortals in the city.
Seemingly intending for them to die alongside him...
He didn’t know how long he’d been killing until dawn broke the next day.
Finally, exhausted, Li Yu died, kneeling in a pool of blood in Jade Belt City.
In front of him lay half of the ruined Jade Belt City...
The anger in Ghost-eyed Child’s eyes was hard to conceal.
A black mist spewed from his ghost eyes, eroding Li Yu’s flesh to mere bones within breaths.
Without hesitation, he reached out his youthful hand and pulled, extracting Li Yu’s divine soul.
"No... please no..."
Li Yu could only let out a pitiful wail before his soul was devoured by the Ghost-eyed Child.
Ultimately becoming his nourishment...
"Mmm, hiccup~ phooey!"
"Damn old fool, ruined my ancestor’s plans!"
The Ghost-eyed Child sneer, gazing at the demolished half of Jade Belt City, knowing there can’t be enough mortals left.
Thus, the Ten Thousand Ghosts Bewitching Array’s gathered evil ghosts would naturally be much weaker...
"You bunch of creatures, where did you run to earlier?"
"Just killing a few Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators... you wasted so much effort, delaying my ancestor’s important affair!"
The Ghost-eyed Child, angrily speaking to the ghost creatures he raised.
But after hearing the ghost creatures’ explanation, the Ghost-eyed Child was taken aback.
He released his Divine Sense, searching the city for Long Ba and Feng Jiu.
A moment later, an amused expression crossed his face.
"Interesting... to raise two puppets comparable to Foundation Establishment Perfection..."
"Hahaha, the last little mouse in the city, where are you hiding?"
