Almost one palm per ghost!
Even though Lu Shiran was only in the Postnatal Realm, those Ghost Clan members in the perfect Postnatal Realm still couldn’t withstand a single palm strike from her.
Under her palm, it seemed as if all the internal organs and bones in their bodies were shattered.
Terrifying.
“Human girl, you’re quite strong, but this is as far as you go.”
At this moment, atop the staircase, a cloaked Ghost Clan powerhouse was staring down at Lu Shiran.
His gaze carried a hint of oppression, and the surrounding Ghost Clan members were extremely wary of him. The surging ghost energy around him swept across, carrying an intimidating aura!
A Ghost Clan member in the perfect Postnatal Realm!
Lu Shiran calmly looked at the Ghost Clan member in the perfect Postnatal Realm, her eyes devoid of any fear.
Or rather, the word ‘fear’ didn’t exist in Lu Shiran’s dictionary.
“Come here.”
The Ghost Clan member in the perfect Postnatal Realm suddenly made a move, releasing a suction force from his hand, as if he wanted to draw everything towards him.
Lu Shiran’s body instantly flew up, heading straight for the Ghost Clan powerhouse.
However, Lu Shiran slowly raised her palm. From her palm, the light of stars twinkled, and her palm seemed to stir up a stream of stars, as if a galaxy was being formed in her palm!
Just as Lu Shiran was about to reach the Ghost Clan powerhouse, she suddenly struck out with a palm from afar.
“Seeking death.”
The Ghost Clan powerhouse sneered. In his eyes, this was nothing more than Lu Shiran’s desperate struggle.
A small Postnatal Realm martial artist, trying to contend with him, a perfect Postnatal Realm powerhouse?
That was nothing more than a pipe dream.
So, he formed a claw with his hand and grabbed towards Lu Shiran’s palm. He wanted to shatter the galaxy in her palm with a shake of his hand.
However, when he touched the starlight in Lu Shiran’s hand, his expression changed.
The domineering energy within the stars was somewhat beyond his control.
“Perish with the stars.”
Lu Shiran said indifferently, pressing down with her palm. The galaxy shattered everything, ready to suppress and kill the perfect Postnatal Realm powerhouse.
“What the hell!”
The perfect Postnatal Realm powerhouse was also panicked. As the galaxy pressed down, he felt incredibly insignificant in front of Lu Shiran.
“Domineering Sky Fist!”
The Ghost Clan powerhouse roared, his body full of ghost energy, and he crushed the galaxy with a punch!
However, when his punch collided with Lu Shiran’s palm print, his punch actually passed through Lu Shiran’s palm print and hit Lu Shiran’s body.
But the scene he imagined, where Lu Shiran was sent flying, did not appear before him.
After his punch hit Lu Shiran’s body, Lu Shiran’s body actually radiated a dazzling light. Behind her, stars twinkled, as if she was standing in a starry sky.
The Ghost Clan powerhouse’s power was completely absorbed by the stars.
At the same time, the twinkling stars became brighter and brighter, eventually shattering a few.
“Divine Body!” Seeing this, the Ghost Clan powerhouse in the perfect Postnatal Realm was horrified.
Puff!
The palm print hit the chest of the perfect Postnatal Realm powerhouse, and he felt as if all his internal organs and bones were destroyed at that moment.
His heart turned into dust.
He fell straight down.
Lu Shiran stood there calmly, steadying her breath.
The perfect Postnatal Realm Ghost Clan powerhouse never expected to encounter a human with a Divine Body. Those who could cultivate a Divine Body were all top geniuses, and the power of a Divine Body was astonishing, not something ordinary people could contend with.
He had only heard of it, and today was the first time he had seen it.
And it was also the last time.
After seeing it this time, he finally understood the power of a Divine Body. Even though she was only in the Postnatal Realm, she could still withstand a perfect Postnatal Realm powerhouse.
The other Ghost Clan martial artists, seeing that even this perfect Postnatal Realm powerhouse had died at Lu Shiran’s hands, also showed expressions of despair.
“All of you.” Lu Shiran glanced at the crowd: “Perish with the stars.”
As soon as her words fell, the entire building was filled with screams of horror.
Lu Shiran, like a god of death, single-handedly killed hundreds of Ghost Clan martial artists on the building.
The next moment, Lu Shiran floated down from the building. Her figure was stunning, like a fairy descending to the mortal world.
Her long skirt fluttered, and her figure gently landed on the ground, like a petal.
Lu Shiran was about to continue searching for more Ghost Clan members.
However, at this moment, a figure appeared in front of Lu Shiran.
The figure was also in a long dress, holding a red oil-paper umbrella, her face obscured, giving off a mysterious vibe.
“Who are you?”
Lu Shiran didn’t sense any ghost energy from this person.
A fair hand extended from under the red oil-paper umbrella, beckoning to Lu Shiran. The voice was tempting, “Miss, come here, I have something important to tell you.”
Lu Shiran hesitated for a moment upon hearing this voice, then walked towards the red oil-paper umbrella.
“Do you know who I am?” The voice asked cheerfully.
“Who are you?” Lu Shiran asked.
“Then let me show you my face, perhaps you’ll recognize who I am.” After saying this, the red oil-paper umbrella was slowly lifted, and Lu Shiran curiously looked underneath, wanting to see who this person really was.
However, the next moment, what appeared in front of Lu Shiran was a face without any organs.
Just like a blank sheet of paper.
“Oh, it’s a phantom ghost.” Lu Shiran remained calm: “No wonder I didn’t sense any ghostly aura.”
“Tsk, tsk, knowing it’s me and still being so calm, I really don’t like your personality. I prefer to see your terror and fear.” The phantom ghost clicked its tongue, and in the next moment, its figure dissipated in front of Lu Shiran like ink in water.
Vanishing without a trace.
As if it had disappeared from this world.
But the next moment, Lu Shiran raised her hand and slapped towards her right!
The space instantly twisted, and the phantom ghost was sent flying. Lu Shiran’s slap shattered its bones.
Although the phantom ghost had no face, it was still incredibly shocked.
“How did you see through my illusion?” The phantom ghost had intended to sneak attack Lu Shiran and behead her, but unexpectedly, Lu Shiran had instantly located its position.
“What’s so strange about that?”
Lu Shiran slowly turned her head to look at the phantom ghost, and her eyes had already changed.
Her eyes became incredibly clear, sparkling with a bright luster, even the black pupils were shimmering like black gems.
It seemed as if nothing in this world could escape Lu Shiran’s eyes!
“You…”
“That’s the Purifying World Eye!”
The phantom ghost never expected that Lu Shiran would possess such eyes.
The Purifying World Eye, reputed to see through all illusions in the world.
Her illusion naturally couldn’t escape Lu Shiran’s eyes.
Lu Shiran walked up, her eyes returned to their original state, she waved her hand, and a burst of energy shot out, beheading the phantom ghost.
After killing the phantom ghost, Lu Shiran looked into the distance, where a not-so-bright dawn was rising.
“The sun is about to rise.” Lu Shiran muttered to herself.
With the passing of the night, the Ghost Clan would no longer appear, and everyone had become numb from the killing.
“Great, the sun is about to rise!”
Many disciples saw the sunlight shining over and showed relieved expressions.
At this time, there were not many of the Ghost Clan left in the city, and the remaining ones were still being killed by the human disciples.
“It’s finally over.”
At this moment, a small team of disciples from Zhanhe Residence finally relaxed. One of the shorter disciples pulled his knife out of a ghost’s chest and collapsed on the ground from exhaustion.
“Great, we’ve survived the first day.” The short disciple said with a smile: “I just want to go back and have a good meal, then sleep for a whole day.”
“Pengcheng, look at your lack of ambition.” Another senior brother in the team laughed: “After going back, you should see how many merits you’ve earned.”
“That’s right, I also want to know how many merits I can get. With merits, I can exchange for the treasures I want in the Merit Hall of Tianhai City.” A muscular disciple also said.
“Senior brother, you’re okay, that’s great!”
At this moment, a disciple ran over from a distance, holding a long sword in his hand, his face also showing fatigue.
“Sun Zhusheng, are you okay?” Seeing Sun Zhusheng coming, Pengcheng quickly went up to meet him.
The two were good brothers in their daily lives.
Seeing each other safe and sound, they were naturally very happy.
“I’m fine, it’s finally over, it’s good to see you guys.” Sun Zhusheng said with a smile.
However, when Pengcheng came to Sun Zhusheng, an accident happened!
Sun Zhusheng actually raised his hand and stabbed Pengcheng in the chest with a sword.
This scene was too sudden, and no one expected it.
Pengcheng was even more shocked, he couldn’t believe the sword that had pierced his chest, then he looked at Sun Zhusheng, his best friend in daily life.
Sun Zhusheng was also full of horror.
He took two steps back quickly, even he couldn’t believe why he did such a thing.
“I… I didn’t, it wasn’t me.” Sun Zhusheng sat down on the ground with a thud.
“Peng junior brother!” Several disciples from Zhanhe Residence ran up.
“What are you doing!” Everyone scolded Sun Zhusheng.
Then they quickly took out a pill and fed it to Pengcheng.
But at this moment, Pengcheng had been stabbed in a vital spot and was beyond saving. He gave Sun Zhusheng a hard look, his eyes showing a hint of fear.
He raised his hand with difficulty and pointed at Sun Zhusheng.
“Pengcheng, I really didn’t mean it, I didn’t think.” Sun Zhusheng said painfully.
However, everyone followed the direction of Pengcheng’s finger and saw a shocking scene.
“Senior brother, believe me.” Sun Zhusheng choked out.
“Sun junior brother, behind you…” A disciple pointed at Sun Zhusheng’s shoulder and swallowed hard.
“Behind?”
Hearing this, Sun Zhusheng also felt something was wrong.His peripheral vision glanced at his own shoulder. Although he couldn’t see it clearly, he noticed a small hand resting on his shoulder.
The hand was as small as a baby’s.
But it was iron-blue in color.
What was it?
Sun Zhusheng had always felt a heavy weight on his back, thinking it was an illusion caused by his injury. But now he realized that he had carried something back.
And the uncontrollable sword that had just killed Peng Zhan must have something to do with this thing.
“Junior Brother Sun, don’t move.” At this moment, Meng Chang from Zhanhe Residence slowly approached and walked around to Sun Zhusheng’s back. When he saw the thing on Sun Zhusheng’s back, he couldn’t help but gasp.
There was a ghost baby on Sun Zhusheng’s back.
The ghost baby was lying there, seemingly asleep. However, when Meng Chang tried to approach, the ghost baby’s little head suddenly turned around, staring at Meng Chang with its eyes.
The blue veins on its face looked extremely ferocious.
“Die!”
Meng Chang immediately made a move, intending to kill the ghost baby.
But the moment he made his move, the ghost baby grinned, and the next moment, Sun Zhusheng picked up his sword and started fighting with Meng Chang.
Meng Chang was taken aback and quickly retracted his momentum.
“Junior Brother Sun, stop!”
The surrounding people hurriedly tried to stop him.
“I can’t control it!”
Sun Zhusheng almost wanted to cry.
At this moment, he was fighting with Meng Chang, but his body was not under his control, and all his limbs were not obeying him.
“Let’s go together.”
In the end, several disciples from Zhanhe Residence joined in. Although Meng Chang was stronger than Sun Zhusheng, he didn’t dare to go all out, fearing that he would hurt Sun Zhusheng. But with everyone’s help, they managed to restrain Sun Zhusheng’s actions.
The ghost baby finally realized that it was no match and jumped off Sun Zhusheng’s body and fled at a high speed.
Despite its infantile appearance, its running speed was astonishing.
“Don’t run!”
Seeing the ghost baby trying to escape, Sun Zhusheng was instantly furious. It was because of this ghost baby that he accidentally killed his own junior brother.
How could he let it go so easily!
Sun Zhusheng chased after it.
“Junior Brother Sun, don’t chase.”
The senior brothers from Zhanhe Residence hurriedly tried to stop him, but Sun Zhusheng had already run far away.
“I’ll go and check.”
Meng Chang also followed in the direction of Sun Zhusheng.
At this moment, the sun was shining brightly.
The entire Sky-Overturning Ghost City became quiet at this moment.
The sunlight shone on everyone’s faces, and everyone had only one thought in their minds.
It’s good to be alive.
“The first night is over.”
A disciple sat on the ground, enjoying the feeling of the sunlight on his face.
Li Hengsheng also took a deep breath, then looked at the Chasing Immortal Spear in his hand, and said with a smile, “You’ve worked hard, buddy.”
The Chasing Immortal Spear was shimmering under the sunlight. Despite being soaked in blood all night, it was still so bright.
At this moment, all the surviving disciples were heading towards their own camps. Some were dead, some were seriously injured, and some were slightly injured. The loss of soldiers and generals was something that all sect leaders didn’t want to see.
But it was something that couldn’t be helped.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the Sky-Overturning Ghost City was filled with sadness.
Seeing their fellow disciples who used to be together dying on the battlefield, many people were heartbroken and even cried.
But facing this situation, the strong ones in the sect didn’t say much. After all, they would have to experience such things sooner or later. As they had grown to this point, they had already experienced such things countless times.
After experiencing many separations of life and death, they could see many things more clearly.
Out of the twenty disciples from Zhanhe Residence, only seventeen returned.
“Elder, Sun Zhusheng and Senior Brother Meng Chang just chased after a ghost baby, but they haven’t come back yet.” Someone quickly reported the situation of the two to Xu Chang’an.
“A ghost baby?”
Xu Chang’an frowned, then looked at Li Changqing and said, “I’ll go and look for them.”
“Okay.” Li Changqing nodded.
Xu Chang’an turned around and left the camp, heading to the street, wanting to see where the two disciples had gone.
Seeing the tired disciples returning from outside, Li Changqing knew that they must be exhausted, and after fighting all night, they must be starving.
So he started to ring the bell again, preparing to arrange for them to eat.
Hearing the bell ringing, those dispirited disciples couldn’t help but drool.
They ran towards the place where the food was being distributed like a pack of mad dogs.
Tired?
Nonexistent?
The disciples who were limping just now were running faster than anyone else.
