Chapter Thirty-Eight: Sending You to Your Death

  ……

  That ugly young man actually summoned a ghost soldier when he saw him, and upon closer inspection, it was only a sixth-level ghost soldier. He couldn't help but be startled. His expression turned angry, and he scolded, "You scoundrel, what did you summon the ghost soldier for? Are you trying to rebel?" The sixth-level ghost soldier posed some threat to him after all.

  "No, no, no! I made a mistake, I used the wrong technique!" Lei Dong was so anxious that he almost cried out, his face pale as he begged repeatedly: "Senior brother, please spare me, I'll erase the divine seal mark right away."

  "Hurry up, or I'll kill you." The ugly youth felt a sense of relief in his heart as he looked at the young man's cowardly appearance. They were all men, why was this kid so afraid of death?

  "Alright alright, I'll hurry up and send you to your death." Lei's mouth curled into a sly smile.

  "What?" The huge psychological drop made that ugly young man think he had misheard, his head subconsciously leaning forward.

  A dull thud echoed through the air as a gruesome figure emerged from behind the ugly youth, its hands grasping two sharp-tipped ghostly spears. The spears pierced his body, sinking in halfway before being violently twisted. Almost simultaneously, the ugly youth let out a blood-curdling scream.

  According to Leidong's experience of using Gui Zhu, the Shadow Gui Zhu is good at stealth and assassination, but the knife shield combination cannot bring out its maximum power. As for the weapon that condenses soul energy, the impact force is sufficient, but the sharpness and hardness are relatively low. Therefore, Leidong specially equipped the three Gui Zhu with different armaments, all of which were custom-made magic tools, although their quality did not reach medium level, they were still among the best in the lower grade.

  Like the dark shadow's double stinger, not only is it extremely sharp, but it can also inject a large amount of yin evil into the body at the same time as it pierces. The yin evil enters the body and transforms into countless wandering threads that specifically target blood vessels, meridians, and souls. If one comes into contact with them, although they may not immediately take one's life, they will cause a person to feel cold, numb, and trembling all over. Most importantly, it can also greatly reduce the strength of the person who has been affected.

  Shi la~ The Bloodthirsty Ghost General almost simultaneously cast out the Bloodthirsty Technique. A bloody shadow emerged from thin air, ferocious and menacing, howling like a wolf as it hacked towards him.

  Can't help but admit, the ugly youth still has some strength. In this short time of less than half a breath, he actually reacted and a shield with an evil ghostly demon face suddenly appeared, barely blocking the Bloodthirsty Ghost Soldier's fierce slash. The shockwave from the collision kept rippling outward.

  Once this person recovers from the sneak attack and counterattacks, relying on his evil ghostly aura and some unknown magical techniques, he might really be able to turn the tables. In his heart, he had already perfected a plan to kill him off. As early as when Leidong said "go die", he had already summoned out the last third ghost soldier.

  "Shh~~~zhi~" The fierce ghostly soldier immediately unleashed its ultimate technique, Ghost Wail.

  A string of sharp and unpleasant sounds, even Lei Dong couldn't help but feel his heart tremble with anxiety, his blood boiling with agitation. As for the two women, they were relatively quick to react. The moment they saw things weren't going well, they tried to use their magical instruments to escape, but the mournful and terrifying ghostly wails shook them so badly that they almost fell off their flying instruments. For a time, their consciousness was scattered, their minds filled with the sound of the ghostly wails, unable to focus their divine thoughts.

  This string of attacks, to say the least, was slow. In reality, from start to finish, it didn't take more than a breath and a half. The ugly youth, who had originally been preparing to cast some sort of spell while blocking the Bloodthirsty Ghost Soldier's attack, was interrupted by a ghostly howl. The sound echoed in his ears and mind, causing him to forget what he was supposed to do for a moment due to the pain.

  At the same time, the Shadow Ghost also stabbed his double blades fiercely into his body. Despite his strong physique of six layers of Qi refinement and the protection of his True Energy, he was severely injured again. The intense pain made him clear-headed at the same time, but he saw the Bloodthirsty Ghost's knife and the Arrow of the Fierce Whistling Ghost piercing into his body simultaneously.

  With a swish, a cold flying sword transformed into a cold rainbow and suddenly pierced his heart, ending his life. Until this moment, he still stared wide-eyed, disbelievingly looking at himself being killed by the opponent's lightning-fast move in just one or two breaths.

  "Spare me, I am willing to be your concubine."

  Those two charming girls had just awakened from their dizziness, only to see the proud and arrogant young master who was usually high above others being hacked to death. With pale faces, they began to beg for mercy. It was also their bad luck to follow this ugly youth with a seemingly special identity. As long as Lei's brain wasn't damaged, it was impossible for him to spare their lives.

  With a cold hum, the flying sword that still bore the ugly young master's fresh blood turned around and slashed towards the two of them. The three ghostly soldiers were all wailing with excitement, interspersed with the girl's terrified screams.

  ……

  In the blink of an eye, the shadow transformed into a black rainbow, almost scraping the ground as it flashed by. Only after dozens of miles did it spin around behind a small mountain and shoot straight up into the clouds, speeding away at its fastest speed. After a whole day and night, flying out tens of thousands of miles away. Lei Dong finally pressed down on his flying sword, landing in a desolate little valley, finding a small cave, using his divine detection technique to check for any problems before crawling inside.

  Three ghostly guards were dispatched, and after a while, they quietly guarded the door. Lei Dong's tense expression finally relaxed, and he sat down on a rock with a thud. As for his sweat, it was unknown how many times it had been wiped away, and his whole body felt sticky and uncomfortable to the extreme. But what was even more exhausting was his heart. The fear after the event was truly intense. Those two beautiful girls had shouted out the identity of that ugly young man before they died.

  That little guy is not a direct disciple, but the biological son of Ghostly Emperor's ancestor. In fact, Lei Dong had heard rumors about this long ago. It was said that when Ghostly Emperor was young, he was quite ugly and not well-received by people. As a result, he devoted all his thoughts to cultivation and did not marry or have children until the Golden Elixir stage, after which he began to show off his divine power and married dozens of wives.

  However, there is a natural law in the world, the law of heaven and earth. That is to say, no matter whether it's human cultivators or other living beings, the stronger they are, the more formidable they are, the lower their reproductive success rate will be. On the other hand, some low-level creatures or ordinary people have a strong reproductive ability. To put it simply, if an ordinary person with everything normal marries dozens of wives and concubines, won't he have many children and grandchildren?

  But the cultivators are different, they focus on refining their bodies with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, constantly evolving. To put it in the words of Lei Dong from his past life, that is a process of continuous genetic improvement and change. At the same time, they gradually become different from ordinary people in essence. If both husband and wife are cultivators with similar cultivation levels, then it's still somewhat acceptable, but if one party is an ordinary person, the chances of conception will be extremely low. Of course, even if both parties are cultivators, the probability of pregnancy is also extremely low. This is a heavenly law and a natural choice for evolution. Because having offspring is originally meant to have the meaning of continuing life and entrusting hope. Cultivating immortality, on the other hand, means walking towards the realm where one's lifespan is as long as that of heaven and earth, so theoretically speaking, there is no need to rely on having offspring to inherit one's own life.

  It can be seen that, although the net is cast wide, even if there are fewer fish, there will still be some harvest. Guixiao Laozu has several children, but just because he has a spiritual root for cultivation does not mean that all his children have it. Among the few children who were finally obtained, only that ugly young man had a spiritual root, and it was actually quite good. This is also considered to be a pretty good probability, and it's still because of his dozens of wives and concubines, most of whom are women with more or less spiritual roots. Moreover, the ugly young man looks especially like Guixiao Laozu when he was young, equally short, with an upturned nose, simply carved out of the same mold.

  It was precisely because of this that the ghostly old ancestor doted on this ugly son to the extreme, and all kinds of cultivation resources were openly supplied. He also gradually cultivated the ugly young man's personality of being arrogant and complacent.

  So, Leidong was so tense because he had killed that young man. If the Ghostly Patriarch found out that he had killed his most beloved son, even the Ten Thousand Ghosts Patriarch might not be able to protect himself. After all, it was his son who died, not just any ordinary disciple. Of course, Leidong did not regret killing him. Even if given another chance, Leidong would still kill him. Otherwise, no matter how much he begged for mercy, with the ugly youth's arrogance and conceit, it was impossible for him to let Leidong leave easily.
