Chapter 1941: One Blade Wrecking a Ghost City

Back in Qianshui Royal City, inside the thirteenth Merit Sub-Terminal. Compared to the past, this place was many times more prosperous now, and one could see Saints and Saint Kings with frequency.

As it was New Year’s Eve, the city was brightly lit with lanterns and festoons. It looked particularly festive and lively.

Carrying his iron sword, Le walked out of the sub-terminal and appeared on the streets of the royal city.

After receiving Zhang Ruochen’s communication talisman, Le immediately set off and rushed over as quickly as he could.

On a three-story pavilion not too far away from the sub-terminal, one of the three candidates for the Lady of the Fane of Destiny, Pan Ruo was sitting alone by the window of a private room. Her eyes were locked onto Le as a strange glint flashed in her eyes.

“Hmm?”

Le seemed to have detected something, as he turned around and looked at the pavilion to the side.

The window was emppty, and no one was there.

With nothing else to see, Le retracted his gaze. It must have just been an illusion just now. He had only just rushed over, and he shouldn’t been marked by anyone.

Without stopping too long in Qianshui royal city, Le immediately headed towards the city the Blackslaughter Ghost Lord had taken hold.

Through the intelligence network of the Fane of Death, he had fully grasped the information of the Blackslaughter Ghost Lord, and he was sure that the Blackslaughter Ghost Lord was now inside Blackslaughter Ghost City, and there was no need to look for it elsewhere.

The Blackslaughter Ghost City was not within Qianshui Commandery, and it was also not the city’s original name. It was only renamed because the Blackslaughter Ghost Lord had occupied it.

Today, everyone only know of the city as Blackslaughter Ghost City. As for its former name, it had long been forgotten.

Le used a Godspeed Talisman, and broke out in a speed thousand times the speed of sound, and in less than an hour’s time, he was outside the Blackslaughter Ghost City.

The city was very large, and from its center, a powerful ghost aura radiated for thousands of miles as if it was the underworld, looking extremely terrifying.

Even at a distance, one could see there were many ghastly phantoms, causing people to stay away from it.

Standing before the Blackslaughter Ghost City, Le could clearly perceive that there were many powerful auras in the city. There were many Four Tribulations and Five Tribulations Ghost Lords , and there were even several Six Tribulations Ghost Lords in there.

A Four Tribulations Ghost Lord was equivalent to a One-step to Three-step Saint King, a Five Tribulations Ghost Lord was equivalent to a Four-Step to Six-Step Saint King, while a Six-Tribulation Ghost Lord was equivalent to a Seven-step to Nine-step Saint King.

The Six-Tribulation Ghost Lord had the greatest span in terms of strength because a Nine-Steps Saint King is divided into five smaller realms, and the gap between each realm is very huge.

Dark wind bellowed as a Three Tribulations Ghost Lord appeared and pounced at Le, wanting to suck his blood.

A Ghost Lord was different from ordinary ghosts. They could suck blood of living creatures to form powerful ghost bodies. The more powerful the blood of their living prey, the more beneficial it was to them.

Le’s eyes were cold, as he swung his iron sword and slashed at the Three Tribulation Ghost Lord.

The Three Tribulation Ghost Lord immediately burst into pieces, turning into a cloud of ghastly fog, its soul already annihilated.

The swordsmanship that Le cultivated was different from Zhang Ruochen. It was purely for murder, and emphasized on the first killing blow. Even a ghost cultivator would need to die.

After he killed the Three Tribulation Ghost Lord with just a single slash, Le walked towards the city. He had already locked onto the Blackslaughter Ghost Lord’s aura.

“Who goes there? Who dares to break into the Blackslaughter Ghost City! Insolence!”

A Four Tribulation Ghost Lord appeared and intercepted Le.

Le did not even look at it as he lightly swung his sword. The speed of his iron sword was beyond comprehension.

BAAAMMM!!

It was just single slash, and the Four Tribulation Ghost Lord could not even react before it was completely destroyed.

Looking at the tall city gate ahead of him, Le waved iron sword in his hand, and slashed out a terrifying sword Qi.

BOOM!!

The sword Qi instantly cut through the entire Blackslaughter Ghost City in two, and many Ghost cultivators within the city perished.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

...

A series of powerful maleficent Qi rushed into the sky, causing the already gloomy night to be even darker.

With the Blackslaughter Ghost Lord at the head, over a dozen Four Tribulation Ghost Lords gathered around as all of them had their eyes fixed on Le.

The Blackslaughter Ghost Lord was extremely hideous-looking. He was dressed in black ghost armor, and in addition to exuding a powerful maleficent Qi, there was also a dark power that was constantly devouring the saint Qi drifting between the realm.

There was no doubt it had cultivated one of the Nine Great Eternal Paths, the Path of Darkness, and his attainment was rather high.

The Fane of Darkness existed in the Infernal Court and had always been controlled by the Ghost Clan, the Corpsewight Clan and the Bone Clan.

Han Qiu had the dark body, and if he could enter the Fane of Darkness to cultivate, he will definitely be able to cultivate his Path of Darkness to an extremely high level.

But it was extremely difficult, almost being impossible as the Infernal Court will not allow humans to enter the Fane of Darkness.

The Blackslaughter Ghost Lord had murderous intent in his eyes as he stared at Le, saying coldly. “Who are you? How dare you provoke me.”

Le raised his iron sword, and his gaze was extremely cold. “The one who will kill you.”

“You want to kill me? You really don’t know the limits of your own strength. I am here, and I want to see how will you kill me.” The Blackslaughter Ghost Lord laughed.

His cultivation level was comparable to an elite at the peak of Precept Dominion realm, and his true strength was comparable to some Heaven’s Reach-realm elites.

Even if a top-tier Heaven’s Reach elite were to attack, killing him was not something assured.

However, there were no saint path precepts in Le’s body, that meant his cultivation base as at best Lesser Precept-World.

For someone to dare to declare that he would kill him with such a cultivation base, it was a veritable joke.

A light flashed past Le’s eyes as a monstrous murderous aura gushed out from his body. Around his body, a faint vision of a mountaon of corpse and a sea of blood emerged.

Whoosh!

Le raised his iron sword and sudden charged.

The speed of this strike was so fast that it begets belief, as if it had surpassed the barrier of time and space.

The Blackslaughter Ghost Lord’s eyes sharpened, and for a moment, he felt chills all over his body.

With his cultivation base, and his vision, he could not see Le’s sword strike, and only saw an afterimage.

Somehow, he actually felt a terrible threat from Le.

The Blackslaughter Ghost Lord wanted to dodge, but he found that Le’s aura had locked him firmly in place, making him unable to dodge at all.

In desperation, the Blackslaughter Ghost Lord had to used all of the maleficent Qi and Power of Darkness in his body to instantly create a hundred shields around him.

BAM! BAM!!

The hundred odd shields were all instantly pierced through by the iron sword, and could not stop Le at all.

The iron sword continued to thrust forward as it aimed at the Blackslaughter Ghost Lord’s forehead.

Seeing the sword point before him, the Blackslaughter Ghost Lord’s eyes shrank, as a pall of death was cast on his heart.

His reaction was extremely quick as he blasted out a punch at Le’s chest, trying to force Le to pull his sword back to dodge.

However, Le did not seem to see his fist at all, as the sword stabbed straight and true, with no intentions to dodge.

DUUUSHH!!

The rusty iron sword was so sharp that it pierced through the dark sigils protecting the Blackslaughter Ghost Lord’s forehead.

A terrifying killing intent passed through the iron sword into the body of the Blackslaughter Ghost Lord, ripping his soul apart.

At the same time, the Blackslaughter Ghost Lord’s fist also slammed onto Le’s chest, knocking him over and sending him flying.

BOOOMMM!!!

Le fell from the sky and plunged into the ground.

The clothing on his chest had shattered, revealing a pitch-black fist mark as the power of darkness gathered and eroded the point with wanton abandon.

The Blackslaughter Ghost Lord’s dying counterattack was undoubtedly terrifying.

“For me to die....” The Blackslaughter Ghost Lord’s eyes were full of disbelief, and he exploded into pieces before he could even finish speaking.

The Sword of Slaughter, and upon the drawing blade death was assured, even if the opponent was a powerful Ghost Lord.

All of the Ghost Lords around were stunned. They had never expected the Blackslaughter Ghost Lord would be so easily killed.

“Kill him!”

One of the Ghost Lords reacted, and immediately attacked Le.

In his opinion, Le already badly wounded during the exchange with the Blackslaughter Ghost Lord, and now was the best time to kill him.

It was not to avenge the Blackslaughter Ghost Lord, but he was afraid that Le would continue to attack them.

Once Le recovers, none of them Ghost Lords will live to see another day.

Le soared into the sky, and swung the iron sword in his hand as he cut the charging Ghost Lord into two.

Without stopping at all, he continued his assault as he slashed at the other Ghost Lords.

Since he had already came to the Blackslaughter Ghost City, he might as well kill to his heart’s content, and wipe out all of the ghosts inside the city.

“Run!”

Sensing the murderous intent from Le’s body, none of the Ghost Lords had the heart to fight, and all immediately scattered and fled.

However, how could the speed of their flight match the speed of the iron sword in Le’s hands?

It did not take long for the Blackslaughter Ghost City to be a literal ghost city as all of the spirits and ghosts were all slain, and none were spared.

“Mission complete.”

After writing the two words, Le set out the communication light talisman.

Then, dragging his wounded body, Le walked out of the Blackslaughter Ghost City with determined eyes.

Above an uncollapsed city wall, Pan Ruo’s figure appeared out of thin air as she watched Le leave.

Looking at the ruined Blackslaughter Ghost City, a bizarre smile appeared in Pan Ruo’s eyes.

The next moment, Pan Ruo disappeared from the wall, as if she had never appeared before.

Inside the Northern Region Basecamp, Zhang Ruochen reached out to catch the communication light talisman sent by Le. After seeing the content, he could not help but to feel a sense of relief.

“Big brother, who sent you a message? Is there anything good?” Xiang Chunan asked curiously.

Zhang Ruochen shook his head slightly, saying. “Nothing, it’s just a matter in my mind. I’ve almost drank enough today and need to get ready. After dawn, there is still a tough battle to be fought.”

“Even the Immortal Vampire’s hundred thousand strong army was destroyed by us, assaulting Xianji Mountain is just a trivial matter. There will be no problems at all.” Xiang Chunan said confidently.

Zhang Ruochen said solemnly. “This is different from last time. The Deathkin is stronger, and we have no external force to rely upon. Don’t be careless, aside from destroying the Altar of Death, we have other things to do.

“By the way, brother, you haven’t told us the reason why you came to Xianji Mountain?” Feng Yan asked.

He had heard Xiang Chunan mentioned about it before, that Zhang Ruochen had a special purpose in coming to the Northern Region.

As for what the purpose was, it had always been a secret, and it seemed like only Zhang Ruochen and Ji Fanxin knew about it.

“Oh yeah, Big brother, can you tell us now?” Xiang Chunan said.

Zhang Ruochen replied. “I wanted to tell you long time ago, but you were too trusting of Luo Yi. I was afraid you would accidentally leak it out, so I had kept it from you.”

“The main reason I came here is to take back the chopped trunk of the Divine Sky-connecting Tree. The Divine Sky-connecting Tree trunk is very important, and must not fall into the hands of the Deathkin or cultivators of other major realms.”
