The battle had been going on for more than an hour.

The number of the Ghost Clan had significantly decreased from the beginning, and although new Ghost Clan warriors were still appearing, the frequency had slowed down, finally giving the human disciples a chance to catch their breath.

Some of the Ghost Clan no longer wanted to fight with the humans and were rushing towards the city gate.

In the end, they wanted to escape from this sealed world.

They wanted to break into the outside world.

But how could the human disciples give them such an opportunity?

The mission of the human disciples who came to this Ghost Devil was to guard the entrance and prevent them from breaking out. Therefore, they guarded every street. Any Ghost Clan who wanted to break out was killed by the human disciples.

The streets were already littered with corpses, and the smell of blood was particularly strong.

After more than an hour of fighting, everyone’s energy was not as abundant as at the beginning, but they didn’t feel tired, mainly because they had killed until their blood was boiling.

The only word in their hearts now was:

Kill!

The human losses were also not small, and the bodies of some human disciples could be seen on the streets.

However, compared to the Ghost Clan, the number was much less.

After all, those who could participate in the Ghost Devil trial were all genius disciples or elites from various sects, and their overall strength was very strong.

Unless it was a special Ghost Clan, the Ghost Clan of the same realm might not be the opponent of the human elites.

Even female disciples like Yan Yuyun had killed countless Ghost Clan, too many to count.

Everyone no longer cared about how many merits they had earned. In such a war, preserving their lives was the most important thing. They simply didn’t have time to pay attention to that.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

Sparks flew as Chen Guan was engaged in a fierce battle with a Mountain Ghost on a wide street.

Yang Si, who was on the side, could no longer get up. She was hanging on to her life with a pill. Chen Guan was very anxious. If he didn’t take Yang Si back quickly, she would be in great danger.

But the Mountain Ghost in front of him was really annoying Chen Guan.

The Mountain Ghost’s powerful body made it impossible for Chen Guan to fight back. His large ring knife couldn’t even hurt the Mountain Ghost, and every punch from the Mountain Ghost forced Chen Guan to retreat.

After blocking several punches from the Mountain Ghost with his large ring knife, Chen Guan was not injured, but his arms were numb from the shock, and cracks appeared in the palms of his hands holding the knife. He felt that if this continued, he would eventually be hammered to death by the Mountain Ghost.

Biting his back teeth, blood flowed down his palm.

The Mountain Ghost’s fighting style didn’t have any particularly exquisite moves, but his physical body was really invincible, and his fighting was completely barbaric.

Despite Chen Guan’s full effort, he could only inflict some minor injuries on the Mountain Ghost.

He couldn’t hurt the Mountain Ghost’s vital points at all.

“Hahaha.”

The Mountain Ghost laughed heartily and said, “Is your little skill just tickling me?”

“Before leaving the city, I’ll taste human flesh with you two. I’ve always heard that human flesh is very delicious, but I’ve never tasted it. Today is a good opportunity to satisfy my appetite!”

The Mountain Ghost bombarded Chen Guan while talking.

“Die!”

Chen Guan was furious, his large ring knife creaked, and in an instant, Chen Guan’s speed exploded, swinging out directly and slashing at the Mountain Ghost’s neck, trying to cut off the Mountain Ghost’s head.

There was another dull sound, and the counter-shock made Chen Guan feel stiff. The Mountain Ghost’s head tilted slightly, and then he punched out faster than the speed of sound, directly hitting Chen Guan’s lower abdomen.

Chen Guan spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot and flew more than ten meters away.

“Wow!”

A mouthful of fresh blood was vomited out.

Chen Guan felt as if his internal organs had been displaced, and there was a burning pain inside his body. He must have been bleeding internally.

“Elder Brother.”

Seeing this, Yang Si exclaimed, her eyes full of worry, but she was also unable to move at the moment.

Chen Guan took a deep breath, then took out a pill and swallowed it to alleviate his internal injuries. He looked up to see the Mountain Ghost approaching, his eyes filled with anger. He wanted to get up and fight again, but the punch just now had injured him too severely.

Even after taking the medicine, it only alleviated the pain. At this moment, he was struggling to support his body and stand up. He knew he was powerless to turn the tide.

What should he do?

How could he find a way to send his junior sister out?

“Can’t you do it anymore?” The Mountain Ghost looked down at Chen Guan, then grinned and said, “I’ll eat that girl first and then come to eat you. But to prevent you from messing with me, I’ll break all your bones first, so you can watch me eat with your eyes wide open. That’s not bad either.”

“You won’t die a good death.” Chen Guan gritted his teeth and said.

“Well, let’s see who dies first.” The Mountain Ghost raised his huge fist and smashed it down at Chen Guan.

The strength of the punch was so powerful that even before it landed, the force of the wind it generated was already putting pressure on Chen Guan.

Chen Guan had already closed his eyes, ready to meet his end.

However, at that moment, a dull sound accompanied by a forceful impact sent Chen Guan tumbling backward.

Chen Guan felt a bit of pain, but he realized he hadn’t been injured again. He opened his eyes wide and saw a figure standing in front of him, blocking the punch of the mountain ghost with a long spear.

Chen Guan’s pupils contracted. Could it be that this person had actually blocked the mountain ghost’s punch with a long spear?

Who was it?

Judging from the figure’s back, he wasn’t from the Gate of No Return. Could he be a top expert of the Postnatal Realm from some sect?

The mountain ghost was also somewhat surprised at the sight of the person in front of him.

This person had actually blocked his punch?

“Are you… from Dao Mountain Ancient Land?” Chen Guan finally recognized the clothes the person was wearing, exclusively sponsored by Changqing Trading Company.

And then he remembered, wasn’t this the person who had been confessed to by Lu Shiran from Guanglan Palace?

He was only in the Postnatal Realm!

Chen Guan was completely dumbfounded. A disciple in the Postnatal Realm had actually blocked a punch from the mountain ghost. What had this person been eating to grow up?

“Another one seeking death.”

The mountain ghost also noticed that Li Hengsheng in front of him was merely in the Postnatal Realm, a realm lower than his own.

“Are you okay?” Li Hengsheng ignored the mountain ghost and turned to ask Chen Guan.

Chen Guan nodded in shock, then said in surprise, “Junior Brother, this is a mountain ghost. His physical body is very strong and extremely dangerous. You should run. I’ll hold him off. You should go find other senior brothers to help. Otherwise, we…”

But before Chen Guan could finish his sentence, Li Hengsheng had already made his move!

He launched the Overlord Immortal Spear Technique!

The spear shadows were so fast that they were almost imperceptible.

He attacked with countless afterimages, so fast that people couldn’t see clearly how many spears Li Hengsheng had thrown.

The next moment, a huge bloody hole was pierced through the chest of the mountain ghost!

The mountain ghost looked at the bloody hole in his chest in horror, unable to utter a word, and then fell to the ground.

“It’s okay now.” Li Hengsheng turned back to Chen Guan and said, as casually as if he had just squashed an ant.

“Uh…” Chen Guan was speechless, staring at the scene with his mouth wide open, unable to utter a word for a long time.

What just happened?

Chen Guan knew very well how difficult it was to deal with the mountain ghost. Even with his full strength, he could only inflict insignificant damage on it. But Li Hengsheng had just killed the mountain ghost in an instant.

How was this possible?

And… he was just a disciple in the Postnatal Realm.

This scene left Chen Guan at a loss for words.

“Junior Brother, this is a mountain ghost, you…” Chen Guan was filled with mixed feelings.

He had always considered himself a genius seedling in the Gate of No Return, but Li Hengsheng in front of him made him doubt his life.

“Oh.”

Li Hengsheng nodded, “I noticed something different. His physical body is very strong. I had to use three spears to kill him. Indeed, he’s not simple.”

“Pfft!”

Chen Guan spat out another mouthful of blood.

This time, he was shocked by Li Hengsheng’s casual remark.

“Are you okay?” Li Hengsheng quickly stepped forward to help Chen Guan up, then said, “If you’re injured, you should go back first. I see that your junior sister is also injured.”

“Thank you for saving my life.” Chen Guan was a bit depressed, but he still thanked Li Hengsheng, then went to help Yang Si up.

However, at that moment, Li Hengsheng’s face suddenly changed. He rushed forward, grabbed Chen Guan and Yang Si, and retreated quickly.

“Boom!”

A huge force exploded at the spot where Yang Si had just been.

A terrifying force swept across, creating a shockwave. Li Hengsheng and the others could feel this heart-pounding aura.

A ghost of the Innate Realm had appeared.

“A Postnatal Realm disciple can kill a mountain ghost.”

A voice came, and a figure walked out of the ruins, staring at Li Hengsheng and said, “A genius of the human race. I love killing such geniuses the most.”

“The blood of human geniuses always tastes good.”

The man was wearing a broken armor, but his eyes were particularly sharp.

“Die!”

The Innate Realm ghost laughed, his figure ghost-like as he lunged at Li Hengsheng. His palm transformed into a ghost claw. Li Hengsheng and the others felt as if this ghost claw had control over the space around them, and they felt they had no way to dodge it.

Li Hengsheng’s face was solemn, and he was about to use his Chasing Immortal Spear. No matter what, if he didn’t fight to the death, how would he know if he could survive?

But at that moment, a golden light fell from the sky!

Terrifying sword energy fell from the sky, almost splitting the world in two. The golden sword light split the street in half!

The Innate Realm ghost’s face changed drastically. He wanted to block the sword light, but he didn’t have time to react. His body was obliterated by the sword light.Even the shrill screams had no time to be uttered.

The Prenatal Ghost Clan member was killed instantly.

This scene truly shocked the three people present.

A Prenatal Realm Ghost Clan member had just died like that.

“It’s the Shocking Gale Sword.” Chen Guan looked up at the floating sword in the sky and exclaimed, “The Qinglian Sword Sovereign has made his move.”

Li Hengsheng also saw the sword, but he couldn’t find Li Changqing anywhere.

However, he bowed to the Shocking Gale Sword in the sky as a sign of gratitude.

Then, the Shocking Gale Sword flew away.

In the main camp, the powerful beings above the Prenatal Realm would only take action when they encountered Ghost Clan members who surpassed the peak of the Postnatal Realm. This was the rule.

Li Changqing had been keeping an eye on Li Hengsheng for any danger, so when the Prenatal Realm Ghost Clan member appeared, Li Changqing didn’t hesitate to take action.

His son had just reached the Postnatal Realm, how could he possibly be a match for the Prenatal Ghost Clan member?

The Shocking Gale Sword flew back directly and returned to its sheath.

Li Changqing’s move surprised the stationed powerhouses.

Generally speaking, when a Prenatal Realm expert appeared, these powerhouses would sense it. If a disciple of the Gate of No Return encountered a Prenatal Ghost Clan member, a powerhouse from the Gate of No Return would take action.

If a disciple from the Medical King Valley encountered one, a powerhouse from the Medical King Valley would take action.

But the one who was in danger just now was a disciple from the Gate of No Return and a disciple from the Dao Mountain Ancient Land, but the one who took action was the Qinglian Sword Sovereign from the Zhanhe Residence.

This made many people feel strange.

During the day, the Qinglian Sword Sovereign was protecting Li Hengsheng, and now he was helping Li Hengsheng again. What was their relationship?

“Elder.”

At this time, an elder from the Zhanhe Residence, Kan Chengli, came up with a bitter smile and said, “The disciple just now was from the Dao Mountain Ancient Land. When he was in danger, it should have been their Dao Mountain Ancient Land powerhouse who took action. Wasn’t our action a bit presumptuous?”

“Does it matter?” Li Changqing glanced at Xue Qianbai and said, “You can ask them if they mind.”

“We don’t mind.” Xue Qianbai also said indifferently.

“This…”

Kan Chengli and the others didn’t know what to say.

But Xue Qianbai said, “But in that situation just now, it would have been better for the Gate of No Return to take action.”

“There were two disciples from the Gate of No Return and only one from our Dao Mountain Ancient Land. If someone had to take action, it should have been the Prenatal from the Gate of No Return, not you.”

“That Ghost Clan member was just a mere Prenatal Realm, and you wasted one of your chances to take action. It was a bit wasteful.”

Xue Qianbai said seriously.

Taking action in this Ghost Devil environment consumes a lot. As soon as one uses their true essence, it will continue to be consumed until it gradually stops.

So even for a Grandmaster, taking action three times is almost the limit.

A martial artist at the peak of the Prenatal Realm could take action twice, which was pretty good.

In Xue Qianbai’s view, Li Changqing had just taken action to kill a Prenatal Realm, which he felt was a bit extravagant.

In his view, Li Changqing had at most two more chances to take action.

And this was only the first day.

Who knew what kind of Ghost Clan powerhouses would appear in the future.

“Alright, I got it.” Li Changqing waved his hand casually. He didn’t care because he hadn’t felt any suppression here.

So there was no limit to the number of times he could take action.

At this moment, in a remote tower, the air was filled with ghostly energy. It was so dense that it was frightening. If one didn’t know better, they would think this was some kind of ghost nest.

But from a distance, one could see the bodies of Ghost Clan members flying out from the tower. The ground beneath the tower was littered with ghost corpses, piled up, which was quite shocking.

And in the tower, starlight was everywhere.

A young girl was facing the siege of hundreds of Ghost Clan powerhouses alone.

She moved leisurely among the hundreds of Ghost Clan warriors, untouched. Her palms radiated the luster of stars, and with a single palm strike, she shattered a Ghost Clan member on the spot.
