Chapter 309: 309: Light Ultimate Skill (Guys, wait for my ten-thousand post update!)
The Ghost King is still within the protective circle of the tornado, it’s hard to annihilate, and Gong Leitian originally didn’t intend to eliminate him directly. His target has always been the evil path lurking in the corner.
Since the Ghost King was summoned by the evil path, wouldn’t dealing with the evil path before the Ghost King is summoned solve the issue just as well?
Previously, there were too many demonic minions around the evil path, and Gong Leitian was afraid that his spiritual power would not hold, so he didn’t attack directly.
Seeing now that most of the demonic minions around the evil path have been sent out, what a great opportunity! How could he miss it? He didn’t hide his struggling with spiritual power, and said heavily to Qing Daojun and Xiaoning, "I’m about to reach my limit too. In a moment, I’ll give you some Talisman Paper, and we’ll break through."
Xiaoning was a bit bewildered, "Minister, even you can’t handle him?!"
The most important thing was the unwillingness, clearly knowing that as long as they eliminate this Ghost King about to appear, or deal with the already located evil path, the task would be complete. But now, the Minister was telling them to "give up"?!
"Do you think life is more important, or the task?"
Xiaoning: "..." Can she say she thinks both are important?
Gong Leitian didn’t waste words with her and directly stuffed a bunch of Talisman Paper to her.
When Xiaoning saw it, among them were quite a few advanced Talisman Papers. If it were before, she would have been overjoyed, but now that the task might "fail", how could she be in such a mood?
Moreover, they would be used up soon.
Qing Daojun didn’t hesitate, took the Talisman Paper, and kept the ones he thought were precious; then he threw away the rest like money was nothing.
Xiaoning saw him do this and followed suit.
Gong Leitian felt a bit pained at heart, but showed nothing on his face, and threw out Talisman Papers as if they cost nothing, shouting loudly, "Run!"
Actually, he secretly slipped something else hidden with the Talisman Papers, throwing a few out.
"Trying to run? Not so easy." When the evil path saw these guys who had destroyed his Barrier Worm trying to run, he wasn’t willing to let them go. He immediately left two or three demonic minions and sent all the others out.
"Go, get them all, let them be food for the Ghost King!"
[Roar...]
[Awooo...]
The demonic minions wailed ghostly cries, surrounding Gong Leitian and his companions.
Gong Leitian could only wield the Immortal Sword as a blade, unable to muster much spiritual power, appearing very wretched. Fortunately, he previously summoned a few Light Tigers to protect them, but it was indeed a tough situation.
"Damn it! Why are there so many demonic minions?!" Xiaoning cursed, unable to help it, even after throwing out a lot of Talisman Paper, to no effect, they were blocked after only a few steps.
Qing Daojun frowned slightly but said nothing.
At such a time, even he wanted to swear, not to mention Xiaoning!
Seeing the Talisman Paper in hand getting fewer, whether Gong Tianle truly reached his limit, or if he wasn’t putting in full effort, they kept staying in the room, unable to even approach the staircase.
Qing Daojun was about to ask Gong Leitian what to do, after all, they couldn’t just drag this on with limited Talisman Paper.
However, when he turned his head to look at Gong Tianle, he found Gong Tianle with a day-long worried expression.
Qing Daojun was secretly astonished, knowing how calm the Minister is; even if Mount Tai were collapsing, his face wouldn’t change, yet now, not even at the brink of life and death, why was the Minister showing such expression?
Could it be, the Minister really has...
Looking closely, although Gong Leitian’s face showed anxiety, his steps were steady, and his panicked actions clearly did not fit his character. Something flashed through Qing Daojun’s mind.
Just then, they suddenly heard the evil path exclaim miserably, "Ah..."
They saw a bunch of White Rose petals growing crazily from beneath him, sprouting several thorny vines, tangling around his thighs, moving to wrap around his waist, chest, arms, neck, and even his head.
In no time, he was wrapped into a White Rose cocoon, only his face still exposed, unable to move at all.
"Light Ultimate Skill: Annihilation!" Gong Leitian shouted, a ray of white light shot from the long sword in his hand, slashing the entire hall in half with the momentum of tearing through the sky. The attacked demonic minions screamed miserably, turning into rays of light, disappearing into the air; even those not directly hit were scorched by the white light, retreating with sharp cries.
In a blink, the demonic minions surrounding them were forced to "yield" a path leading to the evil path.
After the slash, Gong Leitian didn’t pause, and stuffed a handful of Ghost Repellent Charm and Purification Talisman into Qing Daojun and Xiaoning’s hands, then lunged himself towards the evil path.
Qing Daojun and Xiaoning were first stunned: My God?! The Minister was using the decoy strategy?!
Their reactions were swift, taking the Talisman Papers and charging forward behind Gong Leitian.
"What the hell is this thing?!" The evil path struggled several times, finding the more he struggled, the tighter the White Rose Vine wrapped him, cursing foul-mouthed.
Gong Leitian directly aimed the Immortal Sword at his throat, "Weren’t you just so arrogant? Let’s see how arrogant you can be now?"
"What if I am arrogant? Go ahead and kill me..."
"You think I don’t dare?"
"Hahahaha... Even if you kill me, it won’t matter. Do you know how many people are coming after you? Do you know where these demonic minions and Barrier Worms come from? Hahahahaha... Haven’t you realized you’re missing someone? You’ll never find them, never find them again..."
Gong Leitian’s heart skipped a beat. What?! These demonic minions and Barrier Worms were given to him by someone else?!
Wait a minute, he just used a decoy strategy himself, could the others have thrown out such a guy using a "decoy strategy" too?
"What do you mean by that? Where is the person we’re missing? Who gave you the demonic minions and Barrier Worms?"
"I won’t tell you, hahahahaha... you’ll just have to worry. They can give me so many demonic minions and Barrier Worms with a mere gesture, they can give others too. If it weren’t for you damn people stopping me, I would have refined a Ghost King by now..." When it came to this matter, the evil path bitterly hated, "Do you know how much effort I’ve put into refining the Ghost King? You’ve ruined it all!"
Although it wasn’t completely ruined yet, once he dies, wouldn’t it be ruined?
He was the last step in the Array to refine the Ghost King.
"Who is it? Otherwise, I’ll tear off your arm." Gong Leitian was ruthless too, as soon as he spoke, he aimed and pierced the White Rose Vine with a sword.
The evil path screamed miserably.
Then, several White Rose petals around his left arm turned red, the vine squirmed and spat out an arm bone.
Xiaoning’s scalp tingled. The White Rose Vine created by the Minister looks pretty but seems quite ferocious, watch how it devoured the arm clean, not a drop of blood left.
This thing, how will it be dealt with later? Won’t it become rampant?
"You didn’t keep your word, I hadn’t yet said no!" The evil path bit his lip in pain.
"Anyway, you weren’t going to speak, this was a lesson."
"You..."
Qing Daojun reminded Gong Leitian, there wasn’t much time left, the Ghost King was about to be summoned, better finish off this evil path to thwart the ritual successfully.
"But we haven’t found out the whereabouts of the male god yet!" Xiaoning was anxious.
