These evil spirits naturally couldn't join the battle at the Spirit Refining Stage, so the Ghost King's target was not Shen Yuan but Gong Buyu, Xue Mingzhi, and Zhang Jiang in the woods.
He could easily see through their stages of cultivation. Among the three, only two were Qi-training cultivators, and the dozens of evil spirits, bolstered by the water monster, posed a fatal threat to them.
As long as he could distract Shen Yuan enough to make him take action, his goal would be achieved.
Shen Yuan didn't care the slightest bit about the Ghost King's scheme, and with a casual flick of his wrist, the Darkness-Light Sword fell again.
"Xuan Huang!"
The sword light was still peerlessly sharp. Having lost the dispelling power of the Great Sun, the Ghost King once again met the attack with his spirit treasure giant axe, but the next moment a violent collision resounded through North Mang Mountain.
