Ling Xiao spoke coldly.
In the next moment, he raised his right hand and grasped at the void.
Rumble rumble rumble!!!
A thunderous roar erupted from his body, followed by waves of searing heat that burst out from within him.
Instantly, the temperature in a radius of several hundred meters began to rise sharply.
Then, a golden flame erupted from Ling Xiao's hand, condensing into a longsword engulfed in blazing fire.
Without hesitation, Ling Xiao moved.
"Slash!"
Without a moment of doubt, Ling Xiao swung his flaming sword fiercely at the air, targeting the wailing ghostly figures around him.
Sizzle!!!
With a scorching sound that split the air, a terrifying arc of flaming sword energy over ten meters long burst from his blade.
The fire sliced through the ghostly wails.
Pfft pfft pfft pfft!!!!
All the ghosts caught in the sweep were incinerated into nothingness.
With just one strike, Ling Xiao wiped out over a hundred ghosts.
It wasn't cruelty—ghosts refined by others were already dead. Their souls had been fused with the Red-clothed Malevolent Ghost, making salvation or exorcism impossible.
Thus, the best mercy was to destroy them and end their torment.
"What kind of flame is this? How can it be so powerful?"
Seeing Ling Xiao easily obliterate hundreds of her refined ghosts, the Red-clothed Malevolent Ghost's expression changed drastically.
Her strength came from these ghosts—losing them weakened her.
Swish swish swish swish!!
But Ling Xiao didn't hesitate. He brandished the golden longsword infused with Heavenly Fire again, unleashing wave after wave of slashes at the void.
Blazing sword energy swept out in a net-like formation toward all the ghostly figures.
Pfft pfft pfft pfft!!!
With his relentless attacks, the densely packed ghost army rapidly dwindled.
"Damn it! How dare you kill my ghost army!"
The Red-clothed Malevolent Ghost roared furiously and quickly tried to recall the remaining ghosts.
"Trying to retreat now? Too late!"
Ling Xiao sneered when he saw her attempt.
"Swift Movement!"
He quickly formed a hand seal with his left hand and struck it against his foot.
In an instant, a surge of fiery True Qi flooded into his legs.
Boom!!!!
With one explosive step, Ling Xiao shot out like a cannonball.
The ground beneath him cracked with a thunderous boom, leaving a deep crater.
His body launched forward like a missile.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared right in front of the Red-clothed Malevolent Ghost.
The speed was so terrifying that her face twisted in shock.
"How is this possible!?"
She cried out in disbelief.
"Tian You Tian You, ranked among the nobles, assisting the Northern Emperor above, governing the Nine Provinces below...
...
With a single glance, I condemn you to eternal prison—by order of the heavens!"
In response to her fear, Ling Xiao chanted a powerful incantation.
As he recited, fiery red runes began to appear on his golden flaming sword.
"You think you can kill me that easily? Myriad Soul Escape!"
The Red-clothed Malevolent Ghost roared as she sensed danger.
In a flash, her massive body exploded into black mist and attempted to flee into the distance.
Swish!!!!
But just as she moved, Ling Xiao, empowered by the Swift Movement spell, reappeared in front of her instantly.
His sword radiated a blinding red-gold glow that chilled the soul.
"Tian You Incantation—Slash!!"
Without a word, Ling Xiao slashed down with all his might.
Szzzzzzzt!!!!
Under the Red-clothed Malevolent Ghost's horrified gaze, her body was cleaved in two like it was made of plastic.
At the wound, the corrosive power of the Heavenly Fire and the Tian You Incantation rapidly dissolved her ghostly form.
"I... the Wushan Ghost Mother... how could I lose like this?"
Split in two, her face was twisted in disbelief as she looked at Ling Xiao.
For over two hundred years, she had roamed the ghost world as a famed and formidable ghost cultivator—yet today, she was defeated so easily.
So utterly and easily.
But before she could finish her words, her massive soul completely dissolved into nothingness.
Buzz!!!
Just then, a strange ripple occurred at the spot where she died, and a translucent green soul orb materialized.
Buzz!!!
A golden light surged into Ling Xiao's body.
Instantly, he felt his mind clear, his whole body lighten, and even his cultivation speed seemed to accelerate.
"What is this?!"
Ling Xiao was stunned.
Ding... Congratulations! You have slain a Red-clothed Malevolent Ghost and helped thousands of spirits find peace. You have received a large amount of Merit. Additionally, you have obtained her soul orb. Once buried, it can nurture a ghost enhanced by the Divine Tomb!
