The giant blade descended from the sky with dazzling flames, slashing towards the Yin King Zhuanzhu. Due to his previous battles and Jietou's attack with the Sun Wheel Slasher, Zhuanzhu's Yin Soul Ghost Sword was already on the verge of collapse. At this moment, he couldn't possibly block my attack with that sword. If he did so, his only fate would be to disappear without a trace.
I thought Zhuanzhu would dodge and try to avoid my strike at this point. However, I was surprised when he didn't run away but instead stared at me fiercely as if defending the dignity of an Yin king in battle. Just when I thought he was ready to close his eyes and die, his mouth suddenly curved upwards into a strange smile.
Zhuanzhu's eerie expression made me alert. As my sword fell down, my left hand instinctively reached for the Yang Soul Bell in my pocket.
"Zhuanzhu offers fish; stab Liáo and kill Wang!" (This is a spell)
Sure enough, just as I struck him with mercy sword technique, Zhuanzhu let out a strange cry and raised two ghostly claws above him. He pushed them up together until they formed an eerie yin energy fish that blocked my fatal blow.
Although it stopped my sword blade from hitting its target directly,the fish body emitted white smoke after being cut by me almost into two pieces.
As soon as I finished striking one blow,I landed on the ground preparing for another strike when Jietou shouted "Be careful" from afar! Suddenly looking up,I saw that Zhuanzhu had pulled out a slender sharp yin energy sword from inside of that weird fish belly like lightning bolt stabbing towards me.
Seeing this situation, I couldn't help but be surprised and suddenly understood Zhuan Zhu's tactics. I knew that he was using the method of ambush and assassination, which should have evolved from his assassination of King Wu Liao.
He first blocked my sword with a fish scale, followed by a sneak attack with a fish belly sword.
I was careless for a moment and didn't guard against his follow-up move, giving him the opportunity to launch an ambush.
The icy and piercing Yin Qi Sword flashed towards my chest like lightning. If I were hit by this sword, it would freeze my soul on the spot and make me faint.
At this moment, the most anxious people were not myself but Jietou and YunQingYue.
Jietou was anxious because he was standing nearby watching everything happen in real time. YunQingYue was anxious because she could feel the danger of death approaching her.
However, just when they thought I was doomed to die, at the critical moment, I suddenly raised my left hand and shouted angrily. The Secret Technique of Ling Tai quickly operated as a huge amount of chaotic energy rushed out from the Purple Mansion space into the Yang Soul Bell in my left palm.
"Yin bell covers heaven; Yang bell hides sun; Sun-hiding bell come forth!"
With a loud shout came dazzling golden light before me. The Yang Soul Bell instantly grew thousands of times larger from its original size as small as one finger to become a huge golden ball nearly one meter in diameter.
"Ding-"
"Hiss-"
A dragon roar sounded as an extremely cold sharp blade pierced directly onto Sun-hiding Bell. The Yin Qi on it was instantly absorbed and neutralized by Sun-hiding Bell between yin-yang energies annihilating each other once again erupting into thick smoke.
In this way, I successfully resolved the sneak attack of Yinwang Zhuanzhu. But as soon as I recovered, a fierce attack came like a storm.
"Damn your ancestors! You think you can do anything to us with just a clone soul? Since you don't know your place, let me teach you how to behave!"
I yelled and controlled the Bidi Bell in my left hand to strike at Yinwang Zhuanzhu while holding onto the Mercy Sword in my right hand and launching another crazy attack on him.
"YiHeng, well done!" Jietou couldn't help but shout excitedly when he saw my actions. He then controlled his Yaoke Jinlun to join forces with my Bidi Bell for an assault on Yinwang Zhuanzhu.
"Hiss...Bang Bang..." Left golden wheel, right Bidi Bell, holding onto Mercy Sword with no mercy!
Brothers united for mutual benefit!
After only a moment of real attack, Yinwang Zhuanzhu had been hit by us more than a hundred times. Even though his yin power was strong, it could not withstand such endless consumption.
At this point he could only wave his pale ghost claws desperately while barely blocking my Mercy Sword. As he retreated backwards full of resentment towards me he shouted: "Liu YiHeng! Well done! Today I admit defeat but let me warn you that what you are dealing with is just one of my clones whose strength is less than one-third of mine. Hahaha even if you beat him today all you will have accomplished is hurting part of my vitality. If we meet again someday I will make sure to repay everything back twice over!
Stop talking nonsense!" I sneered, my sword moves not stopping as I attacked and lured the Yin King Zhuanzhu. "Save it, don't delude yourself into thinking we'll meet again someday. Truth be told, your tricks of hiding in the shadows have been completely exposed by me. Hehe, if I'm not mistaken, your true form doesn't dare to leave Mount Modu at all because you're all avoiding thunder tribulations. If your true form dares to come out, it will first be struck by heavenly thunder. You'll naturally perish without us having to lift a finger."
"You...you actually know this?" As expected, upon hearing my words, Yin King Zhuanzhu couldn't help but reveal a shocked expression before coldly looking at us and saying: "So you've been watching us for quite some time?"
"So what if we have? Let me tell you that even if you're powerful, you're just a group of rats hiding in Mount Modu trying to survive. You can't even handle thunder tribulations; what else can you do? Oh right, you have the Ghost Array and Ghost Possession techniques but unfortunately for you, the Ghost Array's aura is exposed once set up and will immediately be destroyed while using Ghost Possession is difficult. If I'm not mistaken so far there haven't been many successful attempts at cultivating ghosts through possession either since both Yin Kings and their possessed spirits are bound one-to-one. So these possessed spirits may be fine when nothing goes wrong but once something does happen they won't explode until it's too late - they won't help you with anything but instead take away one-third of your yin energy from your corpse."
I couldn't help but sneer as I said this while looking at Yin King Zhuanzhu: "Isn't this why you appeared here? The Corpse Dragging Soul Seal - it's just a mobile Ghost Array. The other end of it is on your corpse, forcibly linked together as a soul transmission array that can't be reversed once activated. Am I wrong?
