1624 The Sword Ghost and the Altar
The battle here had been a world-shaking battle, and it was a battle where both sides had suffered. After the various major powers broke into the Violet Thunder Swords’ headquarters, the Violet Thunder Swords’ final trump card wiped out a large portion of the major powers’ experts.
This was the reason why although these sects had managed to snatch away a considerable portion of the Violet Thunder Swords’ inheritances, their martial arts was on a decline. The peak experts from back then had been left behind here.
It was unknown whether the blood that had not dried up belonged to a Violet Thunder Swords expert, or an expert from the various sects that had invaded.
Pondering over this, it suddenly occurred to Chu Yunfan that the Violet Thunder Swords’ backup plan might still be here.
Suddenly, Chu Yunfan saw a huge shadow standing in the distance. A creature emitting dense ghost energy appeared before everyone. It was a malicious ghost—a sword ghost that was very different from regular malicious ghosts.
To be precise, it was a ghost servant.
This servant was born from a method of nurturing ghosts. Although Chu Yunfan had never seen one before, he had the memories of the Alchemy Emperor, so he was knowledgeable. There were few methods in this world he did not know about.
He could tell at a glance that this was a ghost servant raised by a martial arts expert. Only cultivators who cultivated the ghost path could raise such a ghost servant for their own use. And this ghost servant was very different. It was a fierce sword ghost.
This malicious ghost had been an extremely powerful swordsman when it was alive.
However, the Violet Thunder Swords wasn’t a ghost sect, so there shouldn’t have been anyone who cultivated the ghost path or raised ghost servants here. The cultivation of the sword path was an extremely pure cultivation. One’s life was completely entrusted to the sword path. One sword light could chill the entire world.
There was no need to borrow external items. On the contrary, borrowing the power of external items would make one’s power impure. Therefore, it was highly possible that this sword ghost was produced from the soul of a swordsman of the Violet Thunder Swords.
This sword ghost had retained a portion of its memories and martial arts cultivation. This was clearly a rather powerful method.
However, the sword ghost transformed from this method was similar to all ghost servants. They had to endure extreme pain and torture at all times. The ghost energy would constantly erode one’s rationality. This was an extremely cruel method.
Sects that cultivated the ghost path were unpopular because these methods were too cruel. It was impossible for a person who was not particularly determined to transform into a sword ghost. Moreover, it had been so many years, yet this ghost’s mental state had not collapsed. This in itself was terrifying.
Thinking of this, Chu Yunfan felt his hair stand on end.
The sword ghost let out a long, mournful cry, and swept out a multitude of sword lights, each thousands of feet long. From afar, it was extremely terrifying. Chu Yunfan could see that several Grand Xia experts flying through the sky could not escape in time were slashed and died on the spot.
“Run!”
All the Grand Xia experts came to their senses. They had stepped into the ghost’s boundary and awakened it. This ghost’s cultivation was unfathomable. A Golden Core could not withstand a single blow from it.
Chu Yunfan saw Huang Feng rushing over from afar.
“Brother Chu, let’s stay far away. That Sword Ghost’s range of activity is limited. As long as we don’t get too close, we shouldn’t be in too much danger,” Huang Feng said.
Chu Yunfan nodded. The sword ghost seemed to be guarding something, so it was moving around in a certain area and had no intention of leaving. As long as they were careful enough to avoid being discovered by it and being struck by its sword lights, they should be fine.
“Let’s head to the spot with the mysterious light,” Huang Feng said.
Chu Yunfan nodded and followed Huang Feng.
Huang Feng didn’t dare to fly through the sky. That sword ghost was too big. Its gaze swept across the area, and it attacked whoever it saw. Although it couldn’t leave a certain range, that didn’t mean that the sword lights it swept out couldn’t.
These sword lights were like missiles sweeping through the air. Those who were swept by them, regardless of their cultivation, would die. Loud explosions could be heard everywhere. Even Chu Yunfan felt frightened when he saw them.
Huang Feng led Chu Yunfan to an altar located in a huge square. In the square were countless mummified corpses. These corpses were once the disciples of the Violet Thunder Swords.
These Violet Thunder Swords disciples’ souls were not destroyed though their bodies had perished. They continued to roam around the altar and attacked anyone who came close. Above the altar, a rainbow-colored energy was emitting an alluring light.
At this moment, many experts were already around the altar and were fighting the Violet Thunder Swords mummy disciples. Although the cultivation of these mummies was not high, they were experts above the Golden Core Stage and still posed a huge threat to these Grand Xia experts.
Chu Yunfan could see from afar that Nangong Zhuo was wielding a longbow and shooting out dozens of arrows at the same time, blowing up the Violet Thunder Swords mummies as he approached the altar.
On the other side, a young man in a tight shirt held a saber in his hand. He swept out saber lights, carving out a path and rushing toward the altar.
“Brother Chu, let’s work together. We’ll split the energy at the altar equally between us,” Huang Feng said.
“Okay.” Chu Yunfan nodded.
They didn’t dare to show their heads or fly up. They would surely die if the sword ghost’s sword lights came down on them. Therefore, the only choice was to charge forward.
The two of them joined forces, and Chu Yunfan finally saw Huang Feng’s attack. His leg techniques were extremely shocking. In the blink of an eye, he multiplied into many countless figures in the sky. His speed was so fast that it was shocking. Wherever he passed, the Violet Thunder Swords mummies were kicked to pieces.
Chu Yunfan did not want to be outdone. He made the Mountain Wrap Seal and formed a huge mountain. He crushed dozens of Violet Thunder Swords mummies in one go.
Just like that, the two of them joined hands and caught up with Nangong Zhuo and Saber Tyrant. The four of them rushed toward the altar as fast as they could.
