Chapter 865: Thunder Strikes Down the Ghostly Ancestor!
“Clang~”
Just as Liu Yu unleashed his methods, a sudden sound of sword humming erupted beside him.
In Ink Plum's hands, a point of golden spiritual light blossomed, rapidly enlarging into a gigantic golden sword.
Carrying an intimidating sharpness that raised the hairs on the back of one's neck, it shot towards the ghostly ancestor, who was not far away.
“Whoosh whoosh~”
All the cultivators present were rivals, and she understood this principle deeply, so she acted without hesitation in the blink of an eye.
“Not good!!!”
Having escaped from the checkpoint world, the ghostly ancestor was already heavily injured. After the teleportation, before he could regain his senses, he felt several powerful forces erupting beside him.
Seeing the shining spiritual lights before him, he realized what had happened, and his expression changed drastically.
“Old Demon Qingyang?!”
Looking at Liu Yu, who wore black hair and a black robe, the ghostly ancestor was shocked, but there was no time to think further.
He quickly formed hand seals with both hands, and with a flash of light from his storage bracelet, a black umbrella true treasure appeared, rapidly enlarging and blocking in front of him.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh~”
The black umbrella true treasure spun at high speed, welcoming the approaching crimson spiritual light.
Without a moment's pause, the ghostly ancestor's thoughts moved again, and the black banner floating beside him flapped in the wind.
Countless dark ghostly auras erupted, enveloping him in an instant.
“Cackling~”
Among the pitch-black ghostly auras, several powerful ghostly shadows flickered in and out of sight, each emitting a presence at the fourth stage level.
Fourth-order ghost king!
“Whoosh whoosh~”
As the ghostly ancestor's thoughts moved, two of the ghostly shadows surged toward the incoming golden light.
In the next moment, the attacks from the three parties collided together in succession.
The Setting Sun Golden Rainbow Spear was the first to clash, making terrifying power explode upon contact with the rapidly spinning tip of the black umbrella true treasure.
“Ding ding ding~~!”
In an instant, a sharp ringing echoed in the ears of the three.
With Liu Yu's current intensity of magical power, leveraging both his qi refinement and body refinement, even without activating the "Qingyang Nebula" while using the Setting Sun Golden Rainbow Spear, this strike barely reached the peak of the fourth-tier quality.
In contrast, while the ghostly ancestor had reached the peak stage of the nascent soul mid-tier, his magical power intensity was not impressive among mid-stage true monarchs.
The quality of the black umbrella true treasure was roughly on par with the Setting Sun Golden Rainbow Spear at that moment.
And since the attack was a hurried response, the outcome was predictable.
“Ding~~!”
Under the pressure of the crimson spear, the black umbrella true treasure quickly fell into a disadvantage, and despite the stubborn flickering of its spiritual light, it was still gradually pushed back.
Comparing the two, the difference in might was significant. If more attacks followed, defeat was just a matter of time.
However, the ghostly ancestor already possessed peak mid-stage cultivation.
To defeat him in one blow was still quite challenging; even great cultivators would find it hard to achieve.
Thus, it was evident that even though he was in a disadvantageous position, he had not completely collapsed.
“Cackling~”
On the other side, ghostly whispers echoed.
Under Ink Plum's control, the golden giant sword displayed significant might as it slashed downward towards the ghostly ancestor.
But just as the golden giant sword was on its way, two ferocious ghosts suddenly appeared around it.
One reached out with both hands and firmly grasped the sword body, stopping the golden giant sword's descent.
The other appeared directly in front, swinging its claws toward the sword's sharp edge.
“Bang~~!”
