Chapter 2266: The True Strength of the Ghost Emperor (Please Subscribe)_1
Zhang Huanyun endured the pain and stared at the Ming Emperor, "That really suits the despicable style of the Holy Spirit Cult!"
He had indeed been careless, never expecting that the opponent's soul skill would be so troublesome, actually managing to separate his soul from his body!
The Ming Emperor, upon hearing this, was not the slightest bit annoyed, but instead spoke in a calm tone, "As long as it leads to the ultimate victory, no matter how dirty, it is a good tactic, isn't it?"
The former couldn't agree with this, but knew that the most important thing at that moment was to delay the Ghost Emperor and the Ming Emperor!
With that thought, he once again taunted, "Do you really think your action this time will succeed? The powerhouses of other forces are already on their way!"
However, the Ming Emperor saw right through his intentions, and said indifferently, "There's no need to say these meaningless words, because the Blood God Army simply cannot withstand the abyssal creatures!"
One must know that there are a full one hundred and eight Abyss Emperors, among which more than thirty are comparable to Ultimate Douluos!
Even if the three major forces were to join together, they might not be a match!
Moreover, according to the Sect Hierarch, the strength of that Abyss Emperor has already broken through the limit, reaching the power level of a First-Level God!
If one could become a God, they might even match the legendary Divine King!
In comparison, even if the Blood God Army, along with those three Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, were added together, there are only six Ultimate Douluos. What could they use to fight against the abyssal creatures?
Zhang Huanyun fell silent upon hearing this...
Indeed, in his heart he already knew the outcome of whether they could defend the Abyssal Seal from being broken or not, he just didn't want to believe it!
Because once they fail, the Human Plane is very likely to be completely devoured by the abyssal plane...
The Ming Emperor took a deep breath, let his black hair flow freely, and in his right hand, he condensed a slender Cross Sword wreathed in a layer of faint grey mist...
This was his Divine Artifact, the Netherworld Requiem!
With a tone devoid of any emotion, he said, "Alright, I have lost interest in talking with you, prepare to die!"
Zhang Huanyun's pupils shrank as he thought, "I didn't expect this Ming Emperor to also possess a Divine Artifact, the situation is a bit troublesome!"
He was, after all, an Ultimate Douluo who had only recently advanced, and inherently he could not compete with seasoned powerhouses like the Ming Emperor!
Now that the opponent possessed a Divine Artifact, the gap was obvious!
The Ming Emperor didn't give him any time to think. He immediately gripped the thin sword and slashed at Zhang Huanyun!
It was just a casual swing, but it felt deadly to the latter!
It was as if any defense would be easily penetrated!
Zhang Huanyun hastily retreated, then the soul rings at his feet lit up...
He unleashed a strong Soul Power that froze the space in front of him into a mirror surface, trying to block the Ming Emperor's attack!
However, reality delivered a heavy blow to him!
The slender sword in the Ming Emperor's hand simply waved in the direction of the mirror surface, effortlessly slicing it open, not feeling any resistance at all!
With ease breaking through, the corner of his mouth lifted into a cold arc, "It's futile, in front of my Divine Artifact, all defenses are in vain!"
...
The Ghost Emperor, who was being forced into a retreat under Ya Li's attacks, glanced over at the Ming Emperor who was completely suppressing his opponent...
Narrowing his eyes, he said, "Oh? He even resorted to using his Divine Artifact already, it seems the outcome will be decided soon."
Don't think that just because he is the master of the Holy Spirit Cult and the other is the Vice Sect Hierarch, that he can fight casually; the latter is not weaker than himself, and in a one-on-one situation, might even be more powerful!
This was also the reason he didn't dare to use the Ming Emperor lightly!
Meanwhile, Ya Li, who was intent on avenging Yun Ming, did not plan to miss this opportunity, gripping the Sky-Piercing Spear tighter to thrust again...
He sneered, "You've been driven to this point, and you still have the leisure to care about your companions?"
The Ghost Emperor's figure was once again fronted by a skeleton that reached out with its withered fingers to tightly grasp the Sky-Piercing Spear...
"Although I don't know why the Sky-Piercing Spear is in your hands, you don't think this will be enough to defeat me, do you?"
Perhaps it was his own repeated concessions that led the opponent to mistakenly believe they had the upper hand!
Upon hearing this, Ya Li frowned, somewhat puzzled by the confidence of the other party, especially since the Ghost Emperor had been forced to flee by her before!
No sooner had she nurtured this thought than the Sky-Piercing Spear began to emit a "buzzing" sound, as if warning her to be cautious!
Ya Li's gaze softened slightly as she murmured, "Yun Ming, rest assured, I will avenge you!"
At that moment, the aura of the Ghost Emperor suddenly changed, as a torrent of black energy burst forth overwhelmingly...
"Since you're so eager for revenge, why not let me reunite you with that guy!"
In an instant, a huge skeletal phantom emerged behind him, but unlike before...
This skeleton actually had nine ferocious skulls, each eye socket flickering with sinister flame...
This was the true form of his Martial Soul!
Ever since his defeat by Yun Ming, this was only the second time he had revealed his true Martial Soul!!
As the power of the Ghost Emperor climbed higher and higher, Ya Li subconsciously stepped back a few paces...
She thought to herself, "His aura has suddenly surged several fold; is this his true strength? No wonder Yun Ming inside the Sky-Piercing Spear has been continuously reminding me!"
The Ghost Emperor caught this movement in his eye and couldn't help but scoff, "Only now you feel fear? It's already too late!"
One of the Soul Rings at his feet suddenly lit up...
Quickly, the nine skulls behind him let out a mournful howl and spewed out a corrosive, pitch-black substance from their mouths, sweeping towards Ya Li...
Once touched, it would turn her into a pile of bones within seconds!
Ya Li, naturally not daring to be careless, released a Soul Skill!
At her feet, a Formation suddenly burst into life, filled with the essence of vitality, keeping the incoming pitch-black substance at bay and attempting to purify it!
But after a dozen seconds, something unexpected happened...
The corrosive strength of this pitch-black substance was so great that the Formations's purifying ability was nullified, and it could collapse at any moment!
"What? It can't be purified?"
With that exclamation, as the Array was on the verge of breaking down, she exited its range just in time, avoiding being overwhelmed by the pitch-black substance...
Seeing this, the Ghost Emperor spoke with a tone of regret, "What a pity, I thought I could acquire a perfect set of dry bones!"
The opponent was known as the most beautiful woman in Soul Land; naturally, her bones would also be worth collecting!
Ya Li, having narrowly escaped, had a significantly quicker breathing rate and a more serious expression than ever before...
The Ghost Emperor didn't intend to give her a chance to catch her breath and once again coldly sneered, "I didn't give you permission to rest!"
With that said, the nine skulls and skeleton behind him began to split and reassemble themselves, and in just a few seconds, they had gathered into nine "walking corpses" without souls!
But undoubtedly, each was filled with a terrifying presence!
