Chapter 774: Chapter 774

The gray-robed elder furrowed his brows, having not heard that Shen Long had mastered the Thunder Method! He guessed it was his Life-Bound Spirit Bird.

Not knowing what Shen Long’s Life-Bound Spirit Bird was made it difficult to judge.

A thick silver lightning bolt tore through the sky, striking towards the gray-robed elder.

At the same time, a massive yellow fist and a golden lightning bolt flew at him from the front.

The elder’s body emitted a dark glow, transforming into a gust of gloomy wind to dodge these attacks.

Chu Buyu pointed his right index finger at the void and gently waved the wings of the snow-blue peacock, aiming straight for Bian Hai.

Thick strands of silver lightning broke through the void, heading directly for Bian Hai.

Bian Hai didn’t dare to be careless, conjuring a blue shield before him. The blue jade lock on his chest radiated dazzling blue light, and a thick blue light screen emerged, protecting his entire body.

The snow-blue peacock crashed into the blue shield, which immediately became encased in blue ice.

Bian Hai opened his mouth to spit out five blue glowing knives that incessantly rotated, hurtling towards the incoming silver lightning.

A loud boom erupted as the incoming silver lightning was completely shattered by the five blue knives.

A violent wind blew behind Bian Hai as Shen Jiu suddenly appeared, three heads on his shoulder and a pair of blue wings on his back.

When Bian Hai spotted Shen Jiu, he quickly formed a spell. The five blue knives emitted a blinding light and merged into one, transforming into a massive blue blade that sliced towards Shen Jiu.

One of Shen Jiu’s heads belched out a yellow aurora that met the blade head-on.

As soon as the blue blade touched the yellow aurora, it petrified at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A different head of Shen Jiu exhales a thick bolt of Water Divine Thunder, accurately splitting the petrified blue blade, which then exploded into fragments.

With his life-treasure destroyed, Bian Hai’s face turned bright red as he spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood, his complexion turning pale.

Another of Shen Jiu’s heads released a yellow aurora that fell upon Bian Hai’s blue light screen, petrifying it at a visible rate.

A thick Water Divine Thunder struck the petrified blue light screen, which shattered into pieces.

A massive blue bird’s claw descended from the sky, piercing Bian Hai’s head. As soon as his Nascent Soul left his body, it was wrapped in a blue aurora, sucked into Shen Jiu’s mouth, and swallowed.

Seeing this, the gray-robed elder’s face twisted into an extremely ugly expression, as if he had eaten a dead fly.

A thick golden lightning bolt shot towards him from the front, and the elder’s body emitted a dark glow, vanishing from the spot.

Just then, a blue light shot out, striking somewhere in the void. The void distorted and opened into a large hole, from where the gray-robed elder fell out, his face full of shock.

How could the other party break his Instantaneous Movement? What Divine Skills did they possess?

To his surprise, he discovered that inside the Thousand Ghosts Pearl, there was now a blue-robed youth—it was Shen Lie.

Behind the elder, a golden thunder light illuminated, as Shen Long appeared, spewing out a thick bolt of golden lightning onto the elder’s black light screen, producing a muffled sound.

The spiritual light of the black shield dimmed, and the Zyphyxial Blade struck it, shattering the screen.

The elder felt a chill on his neck and subconsciously brought his right hand to it, as his head rolled onto the ground, blood spurting several feet into the air.

The headless corpse lit up with a dazzling blue glow, revealing a lotus flower shimmering with spiritual light. The lotus, which still had two petals left, was the Tribulation-Substituting Treasure, the Five-Leaf Jade Lotus.

One petal fell from the lotus and shattered into pieces.

Shen Lie’s vertical eye blazed with spiritual light, emitting a blue ray that struck somewhere in the void.

Ripples spread through the void, revealing a large hole several meters across, and the gray-robed elder plunged from within the hole.

"Breaking Instantaneous Movement! It was you all along. Who on earth are you?"

The gray-robed elder exclaimed, his gaze dark.

The unknown is always the most frightening; he had no clue about the origins of his adversary.

From the beginning of the battle, his companions were all killed, and the mutant Ghost Creature he had painstakingly raised was also annihilated by the enemy, yet he was clueless about the nature of their Divine Skills.

"The dead don’t need to know too many things."

Shen Lie’s tone was ice-cold.

Within two thousand miles, any enemy in the Refinement Void Phase couldn’t think of using Instantaneous Movement to escape in front of Shen Lie.

The sound of thunder continued unabated as thick silver lightning streaked across the sky, heading straight for the grey-robed old man.

A snow-blue peacock flew from the front, leaving a trail of ice crystals in the void and on the ground in its wake.

The grey-robed old man snorted coldly and spit out a black flame that transformed into a thick black fire python and met the attack.

The black fire python clashed with the snow-blue peacock, which was no match, but soon, a green Fire Phoenix joined the fray and easily turned the tide, forcing the black fire python into retreat.

The grey-robed old man pinched a spell, and eighteen black Banner Flags burst out with blinding black light, amplifying the sounds of ghostly wails and howls.

Black light radiated from his body, and numerous Ghost Creatures flew toward the grey-robed old man, merging into his body.

Sounds of cracking bones like "crackling and popping" came from the grey-robed old man’s body as it swelled quickly, terrifying bloodstains appearing on his skin and a pair of blood-colored wings emerging from his back, along with an extra pair of black Ghost Claws.

His body withered, an extra black horn growing out of his head, and a ghostly green eye opened on his chest as his aura transitioned from the Hollow Phasing Late Stage to Great Perfection.

"Myriad Ghosts Devouring Body! Using this secret technique will lead to serious backlash. You’re just in the Hollow Phasing Late Stage; you won’t hold up for long,"

declared Shen Long in a deep voice.

"At this point, what other choice do I have? Kill you all, and everything will be fine."

The grey-robed old man revealed a fierce expression.

"Kill us? You’re overestimating yourself."

A scornful look crossed Shen Long’s face as Spiritual Light radiated from his body, Shen Peng separating from him.

Blinding golden light emanated from Shen Peng’s body as a colossal Thunder Roc Image emerged high in the sky.

"Thunder Roc Dharma Nature! You possess the Thunder Roc Bloodline?"

exclaimed the grey-robed old man.

"Thunder Roc Bloodline? Humph, underestimate someone else!"

Shen Peng retorted with scorn, transforming into a roc covered in golden lightning arcs.

"Thunder Roc? Impossible!"

The grey-robed old man was dumbstruck.

The black fire python was devoured by the joint efforts of the green Fire Phoenix and snow-blue peacock, who then, both rushed at the grey-robed old man.

The grey-robed old man let out a long howl to the sky, spewing out a black sonic wave to counter the attack.

Thick Green Vines burst from the ground beneath his feet, quickly entwining to form giant green hands that reached straight out to the grey-robed old man.

He spit out another black ghostly flame to meet the attack.

A silver lightning pillar, a thousand feet in diameter, descended from the heavens, targeting the grey-robed old man.

A blinding black light shone from the horn on the grey-robed old man’s head as a black light ring swept out to meet it.

The black ghostly flame landed on the green hands, turning them into ashes instantly, while the black light ring and silver lightning column canceled each other out in an explosion.

A crimson light flared up behind the grey-robed old man as Shen Long appeared, his back sporting a pair of wings with flowing red light.

He wore gold knuckle-dusters on his hands, and with a movement of his fists, he smashed them toward the grey-robed old man.

The grey-robed old man was quick to react, his black Ghost Claws meeting Shen Long’s fists.

Two muffled "thumps" sounded as the Ghost Claws shattered.

Black light rings burst forth from Shen Long’s fists, sweeping across the grey-robed old man’s body, unleashing the Soul Extinguishing Profound Light – a secret technique attached to the Mysterious Soul Secret Manual, targeted at the Divine Soul.

The grey-robed old man uttered a piercing scream, his body trembling.

Shen Long’s right fist landed on his head, which exploded instantly.

As the Nascent Soul barely escaped the body, it was seized by Shen Long’s right hand, which proceeded to Soul Search.
