"Retract!"
Shen Daoxing murmured a command. The Venerable Dharma Seal flared with a pure white light, then suddenly shrank into a palm-sized jade seal.
He then beckoned with his hand, grabbing the Venerable Dharma Seal and hastily retreating, flying out of the grand hall.
"BOOM!"
A dull, thunderous crash.
The Black Death Ghost’s massive, muscular arm crashed straight down onto the ground.
Instantly, the already dilapidated hall was shattered, sending dust and rubble flying everywhere.
In the center of the hall, a deep palm-shaped crater had been smashed into the floor.
Shen Daoxing retreated again and again, coming to stand beside Tao Ying, Elder Mu, and the others. He watched as the Black Death Ghost slowly turned its head, its ferocious gaze landing on them.
Shen Daoxing then glanced down at the Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat nestled against his chest. "Protect everyone."
"SQUEAK!"
The Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat squeaked softly, its tiny head poking out. With a WHOOSH, it darted out from Shen Daoxing’s arms.
Seeing this, Xin, who was standing nearby, quickly grabbed it. "Don’t run off! It’s dangerous out there."
Xin then cradled the Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat in her arms as if protecting a beloved pet.
At that moment, Shen Daoxing’s figure blurred. He leaped into the air, transforming into a streak of white light as he shot forward.
Nearby, Chu Guifeng, Ma Wan, Qian Gui, and the others scrambled to a safe distance, making sure not to get in Shen Daoxing’s way.
A terrified Luo An hid directly behind his sister.
Luo Xi, meanwhile, was muttering to herself, summoning one defensive Magical Treasure after another to protect herself.
Nearby, Tao Ying frantically flipped through the book in her hands. "The Black Fiend! One of the Fengdu Ghost King’s Rakshasa Evil Ghosts! It’s formed from the convergence of thousands of evil souls... It’s ferocious and cruel! Young Master Yang, be careful!"
But by then, Shen Daoxing was already before the Black Fiend.
"ROAR!"
The Black Death Ghost threw its head back and roared, its massive black hand sweeping down with the force of a collapsing mountain, blotting out the sky as it descended.
However, Shen Daoxing simply tapped the ground with the tip of his toe. He flipped nimbly through the air and landed on the Black Death Ghost’s arm. Then, with light steps, he dashed all the way up its length.
Before the Black Death Ghost could even react, he had reached its shoulder.
"Sword, come!"
Shen Daoxing simply raised a hand high, palm facing the sky.
A black arc of light flashed across the sky.
The next moment, the Great Ming Demon Sparrow appeared, landing in Shen Daoxing’s palm.
"ZZZZT!"
Black arcs of electricity crackled.
The surrounding space began to warp, seeming to fold in on itself layer by layer.
Shen Daoxing brought the Great Ming Demon Sparrow in his hand down in a terrifying slash.
"SHKRIIIN!"
The blade bit into the Black Death Ghost’s shoulder, trailing sparks as it carved a path all the way down to its opposite hip.
A long, ghastly Sword Mark was now carved into the Black Death Ghost’s body. But within the gash, there was no blood or flesh. Instead, countless ferocious, red evil ghosts writhed and twisted together, their bloody hands stretching out as they shrieked and wailed.
Meanwhile, Shen Daoxing didn’t pause. Tapping his toe lightly against the Black Death Ghost’s body, he performed a nimble flip, wrenching the Great Ming Demon Sparrow free as he leaped into the air once more.
"ROAR!"
The deafening roar made everyone’s heads go numb.
The Black Death Ghost threw its head back in an enraged roar, and suddenly, torrents of black Ghost Qi began to pour from its body.
The moment the Ghost Qi appeared, Shen Daoxing noticed that the long Sword Mark on its body was closing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing this, Shen Daoxing wasn’t about to give it a chance to recover.
"Venerable Invincible, Huangliang’s Moment!"
Instantly, the black Ghost Qi floating in the air froze. The Black Death Ghost’s massive hand, which had been swatting at Shen Daoxing, halted mid-swing. The struggling, screaming ghosts within its body stilled. Everything came to a standstill, as if time itself had frozen.
Shen Daoxing, however, was completely unaffected. He leaped high into the air, and the black light from the Great Ming Demon Sparrow in his hand flared brilliantly as he brought it down with immense force.
"SQUELCH!"
The blade suddenly sank into the Black Death Ghost’s thick flesh, right at its shoulder.
"SHRRRRIP!"
Then, it sliced all the way down, cleaving through its entire torso inch by inch.
However, at that very moment...
"CRACK!"
A crisp crack echoed, as if some barrier had just been shattered.
Suddenly, the roiling Demonic Qi stirred without warning. A giant black palm materialized before Shen Daoxing’s eyes and swatted viciously at him.
Startled, Shen Daoxing sent out a mental command. The Venerable Dharma Seal instantly flew out, expanding as it flared with a dazzling white light to block the attack.
However, the Venerable Dharma Seal only held for a moment before the massive palm forced it straight down.
"BANG!"
With a loud bang, the black palm slammed the Venerable Dharma Seal directly into Shen Daoxing’s body.
Shen Daoxing felt a tremendous force crash into him. The energy in his body roiled, and with a WHOOSH, he was sent flying backward like an arrow.
Meanwhile, the Black Death Ghost slowly turned its head. Its two large, blood-red eyes stared at Shen Daoxing with profound meaning as its mouth split into a hideous grin. It had already broken through the Restriction of his Huangliang’s Moment.
The next moment, Shen Daoxing’s vision went black again.
Two more giant palms had appeared, one to his left and one to his right. They closed in with overwhelming force, threatening to crush him completely.
"Venerable Invincible, Huangliang’s Moment!"
Seeing this, Shen Daoxing hurriedly sent out another mental command.
The two giant black palms froze instantly. As if time had stopped, everything around them came to a halt.
Shen Daoxing raised the Great Ming Demon Sparrow high, using Sword Control to fly upward.
However, the two giant palms only remained frozen for a moment.
"CRACK!"
With another crisp crack, it was as if some barrier had been shattered.
The Restriction of Shen Daoxing’s Huangliang’s Moment Divine Technique vanished.
"BANG!"
The two giant black palms suddenly slammed together, viciously striking Shen Daoxing’s body.
"CRUNCH!"
The distinct crunch of breaking bones rang out. Shen Daoxing felt a cataclysmic force wreck his insides, his energy roiling violently. Several of his bones had been broken by the giant black hands.
"VMMMM!"
The Great Ming Demon Sparrow seemed to sense its master’s peril. It suddenly let out a sharp cry as its Demonic Qi surged. It shot high into the air, pulling Shen Daoxing free from between the two giant palms.
As for the Black Death Ghost, its black Ghost Qi was now incredibly dense. A new pair of muscular arms had sprouted from its broad shoulders, and it was grinning hideously, as if mocking Shen Daoxing.
Shen Daoxing’s heart sank. After just a few exchanges, he understood. This Black Death Ghost was powerful—even stronger than Xu Hong, the Ninth Layer Earth Profound Realm expert he had faced back in Tianze.
"Demon Sparrow!"
With a mental command, Shen Daoxing leaped up, landing atop the Great Ming Demon Sparrow, and hastily put distance between himself and the Black Death Ghost.
However, Shen Daoxing had barely retreated any distance at all.
