The Reincarnation Blood Tear short sword sliced through the flames, piercing the female ghost's chest!
"No!"
Instantly, countless wisps of ghostly energy surged from the female ghost's chest.
Yu Daohan instinctively took two steps back, a bad premonition dawning on him.
Would this thing explode?
If it were an ordinary malevolent ghost, it would have long since been annihilated.
But this creature, far from being annihilated, instead had a massive surge of ghostly energy pouring from its chest.
The ghostly energy grew more and more abundant, reaching a density where even ordinary people could see it.
Yu Daohan, watching the ceaseless flow of ghostly energy, exclaimed, "Holy hell, how much ghostly energy is packed inside this thing? This amount is rather astonishing."
However, from the looks of it, this female ghost was unlikely to survive.
After about ten minutes of burning, the flow of ghostly energy finally stopped.
With the ghostly energy depleted, it was only a matter of time before she was annihilated.
Thinking this, Yu Daohan shook his head and turned to leave.
The moment Yu Daohan turned and took a step, the female ghost, engulfed in flames, suddenly roared.
"I will drain your essence!"
Hearing this, Yu Daohan scoffed, disbelieving.
This person was practically dead, yet still thinking of draining his essence.
If she could still attack him in her dying moments, he'd eat his own excrement on the spot.
Yu Daohan turned back, raised his hand, extended his middle finger, and sneered, "Eat shit."
The flames slowly dissipated, revealing that the female ghost, pierced by the Reincarnation Blood Tear short sword, was not dead.
No!
Yu Daohan instantly felt that something was amiss.
Why did this creature show no signs of dying?
The female ghost's lips curved upwards, her earlier panic completely gone, her voice a sinister whisper, "Laugh, go on, keep laughing."
The Reincarnation Blood Tear short sword, which had pierced the female ghost's chest, slowly vanished, and she forced the silver needle out of her body.
"Ah... this..." Yu Daohan's face contorted, and he cursed inwardly.
"What the hell is this ghost? Why is she back to normal?"
The female ghost's aura instantly returned to the Ghost King state.
Escape!
Yu Daohan's first thought was to flee.
This was a foe he could not possibly contend with.
The female ghost glared fiercely at Yu Daohan, this time unleashing her full power.
Though she was now at the Ghost King realm, she was at the lowest tier of Ghost Kings.
She lacked even the characteristic horns and arms of a Ghost King.
Most importantly, she was completely cut off from the Ghost Immortal realm, unable to even improve her strength.
She would forever remain in this lowest state of a Ghost King.
Yet, even so, she was still not someone Yu Daohan could handle.
Yu Daohan's finger grazed the Kanglong Mace, igniting it with fierce flames as he swung it forward.
As the fiery sword energy was unleashed, he turned and bolted.
"Trying to escape?"
Seeing this, the female ghost's lips curled into a sinister smile, "I will tear you limb from limb."
As soon as she spoke, she flicked away the incoming fiery sword energy, then stomped heavily on the ground and grunted, "Ghost Hook Chains."
Suddenly, several chains emerged from beneath Yu Daohan's feet.
"Holy hell."
Yu Daohan cursed and quickly dodged, but the chains, like snakes, coiled around his hands and feet.
"What is this?" Yu Daohan felt his internal energy draining away.
If this continued, he would surely die. Yu Daohan prepared to summon the Reincarnation Blood Tear but found he couldn't.
What kind of chains were these that even the Nine Lives Reincarnation Eyes couldn't be used?
Yu Daohan was utterly despairing, but then he remembered he still had the power of his Ghost Horn.
He hadn't used the power of this Ghost Horn since absorbing the刹鬼 last time.
Yu Daohan looked down at his left arm, attempting to channel the Ghost Qi within his arm, only to find he couldn't use it.
"What!" Yu Daohan's face turned ashen.
These chains were far too powerful, preventing even the mobilization of Ghost Qi.
It was over!
He had truly stumbled into a trap.
He was going to die... die...!
The female ghost walked over with a grim expression, her eyes burning with a desire to devour Yu Daohan alive.
Yu Daohan swallowed, filled with regret.
He should have never shown off.
He should have shown some mercy back then, leaving room for future encounters.
Watching the approaching female ghost, Yu Daohan slowly closed his eyes.
Heaven was truly intent on destroying Yu Daohan.
I'm sorry... I probably can't save you all!
Yu Daohan lowered his head, resigned to his fate.
However, the female ghost stopped abruptly about five meters from Yu Daohan, her smile faltering into a grimace.
Seeing the female ghost suddenly halt, Yu Daohan sensed something was wrong and rejoiced inwardly.
There was hope!
The female ghost glared at Yu Daohan, wishing she could tear him to shreds right then, but she decided to stabilize her internal injuries first.
The female ghost immediately sat cross-legged, beginning to channel her internal Ghost Qi to heal.
Yu Daohan, watching the seated female ghost, knew that if he let her finish healing, he would surely die. He shamelessly said,
"Great Ghost King, spare me. Let's mind our own business from now on, how about it?"
Hearing Yu Daohan's plea, the female ghost burst into laughter, "Do you think that's possible?"
In such a situation, most people would choose death over disgrace, believing a severed head was merely a small scar.
But for Yu Daohan, a miserable life was better than a swift death.
Concepts like honor and disgrace were utter nonsense.
He still had those two to save; he couldn't die.
Yu Daohan chuckled and said obsequiously, "Why is it impossible? Think about it, you're already injured like this. Killing me would merely vent your anger, but if..."
Yu Daohan said this, lifting the front of his shirt, and smiled, "You know about the Ghost Qi within me. As long as you don't drain me all at once, I can absorb other malevolent ghosts and then transmit the Ghost Qi to you."
Yu Daohan wore a smile, but inwardly he cursed.
"Damn it, I never thought Yu Daohan would have to resort to selling himself."
But with his peerless looks, charming a female ghost was not out of the question.
Watching Yu Daohan's provocative display, the female ghost chuckled dismissively, "I didn't expect you to be afraid of death."
Looking at the female ghost's mocking face, Yu Daohan wished he could slap her twice, but he forced a smile, "What you say is true, but who in this world isn't afraid of death?"
The female ghost sized Yu Daohan up.
She had to admit, this young man was indeed handsome, and his constitution was special.
Furthermore, killing him would only serve to vent her anger; it would be far better to drain him daily.
"What you say has some merit, but I don't think you're being entirely honest."
The female ghost said this, her lips curling upwards as she looked at Yu Daohan's hands.
Hearing this, Yu Daohan's face darkened, and he cursed inwardly.
"Damn it, she found out."
He had intended to stall for time and use his energy to break free from these chains.
The female ghost had long known that this brat was merely stalling for time to break free from the chains, but unfortunately... that was impossible.
