King of Assassins

Chapter 1263: Chapter 760: Sweeping Away All Opposition (Part 2)

Facing the Twelve Celestial Ghosts and Ghost Emperor working together to unleash the Celestial Ghost Roar, the Little Five Elements Flying Feather Sword seemed too weak.

The only fortunate thing was that inside the Little Five Elements Flying Feather Sword, the flow of Five Elements Power was endlessly changing. Despite the strength of the Celestial Ghost Roar, it was too coarse and couldn’t break through the sword in haste.

The Peacock King was well aware that under the Ghost Emperor’s leadership, the Celestial Ghost Roar would have no gaps, and its assault would only grow stronger. She and Li Ripples had no chance of luck.

Now, she could only rely on Gao Xuan!

The Peacock King wanted Li Ripples to call for help, but under the Celestial Ghost Roar’s attack, she could barely fend for herself and had no way to communicate with Li Ripples.

All communication methods, including sound, gaze, and divine thought, were drowned out by the violent Celestial Ghost Roar. The Peacock King even lost track of Li Ripples’ position.

Li Ripples was also in a dire situation, a strange deep green appeared in her bright eyes, and her whole body was tinged with deep green, as if she were poisoned.

Li Ripples felt a bit regretful; she should have called for Master earlier. Now, it seemed a bit late to call.

After all, across a billion miles, by the time Master arrived, she and the Peacock King might have already been killed.

She hesitated just now when she injured the Ghost Emperor with a sword and should have taken the chance to escape instead of clashing with the Ghost Emperor.

She was mainly considering the Peacock King; she could flee but couldn’t take the Peacock King with her. That moment of hesitation caused her to miss the fleeting escape opportunity.

While Li Ripples was feeling remorse, Gao Xuan’s voice sounded in her heart: "Stop messing around, I’m here."

Li Ripples rejoiced, she hurriedly told Gao Xuan, "Master, the Ghost Emperor is shameless, he called a bunch of helpers. I’m not afraid of him alone..."

She reminded Gao Xuan again, "Master, be careful. These guys are numerous in ghosts!"

"Mm."

Gao Xuan responded lowly, followed by a gigantic dark gold claw blade falling from the Nine Heavens.

The massive bodies of the Twelve Celestial Ghosts, tens of thousands of feet tall, appeared minuscule like ants under that huge dark gold claw blade.

Such a huge dark gold claw blade seemed slow in movement, but once it fell, it encompassed the heavens and the earth in eight extremes.

The Ghost Emperor immediately sensed something wrong; he looked up and saw the gigantic dark gold claw blade.

The existence of the dark gold claw blade alone, not to mention its power, had the Ghost Emperor utterly astonished.

At Earth Immortal Level, moving mountains and boiling seas was commonplace; however, power ultimately had limits.

The Twelve Celestial Ghosts gathered the Power of Earth Immortal Laws, gathering millions of ghostly beings to form the massive Celestial Ghost body.

Reaching this step was actually the limit. Continuing to enlarge would make the Celestial Ghost body unrealistically large and reduce its power instead.

The Ghost Emperor was different from the Celestial Ghosts; he could be extremely large or extremely small. As long as a trace of divine soul remained, he could change and flow freely in this realm.

As a result, the Ghost Emperor merely projected his divine soul here, and that was sufficient.

The overwhelming size of the dark gold claw blade, descending from the heavens, surpassed the Ghost Emperor’s understanding of power.

How could a Divine Artifact at the Earth Immortal Level be so enormous and yet so solid and powerful?

The Ghost Emperor was puzzled about how much power this dark gold claw blade held and how it was refined.

The Twelve Celestial Ghosts realized something was wrong; they felt immense pressure just by seeing the dark gold claw blade.

The Twelve Celestial Ghosts simultaneously felt strong fear and instinctively wanted to scatter.

But with the Ghost Emperor present, no Celestial Ghost dared to flee recklessly.

Due to the impact, the power of the Celestial Ghost Roar, jointly launched by the Twelve Celestial Ghosts, naturally lessened significantly.

The Ghost Emperor shouted coldly: "Gao Xuan wants to annihilate us. It’s too late to run now! Gao Xuan is just one person; what do we fear?"

The Twelve Celestial Ghosts also sobered up, realizing that Gao Xuan’s aggressive ghost-slaying left them no retreat.

Furthermore, no matter how strong Gao Xuan was, he could not surpass the combined strength of the Thirteen Celestial Ghosts! That was simply not logical.

The Ghost Emperor uttered another low roar, and under his urging, the gigantic bodies of the Twelve Celestial Ghosts continued to merge, ultimately forming an enormous green giant palm, which blasted towards the descending dark gold claw blade.

The giant palm composed of the Twelve Celestial Ghosts’ combined power appeared particularly tiny compared to the dark gold claw blade.

The dark gold claw blade was like the hand of a seven-foot warrior, while the giant palm formed by the Twelve Celestial Ghosts was akin to a newborn baby’s small hand.

Such a stark contrast in scale filled the Twelve Celestial Ghosts with unease.

The Ghost Emperor could not grasp the reality of the dark gold giant claw but refused to believe that anyone in the Primordial Celestial Realm could overpower the Twelve Celestial Ghosts!

Yuan Qinglian wouldn’t suffice, nor would the Earth Element Daoist Monarch! Gao Xuan, even more so!

The dark gold claw blade met the small green hand, and the claw blade paused.

The Twelve Celestial Ghosts simultaneously unleashed full power, surprisingly causing the dark gold claw blade to fly upwards.

The Twelve Celestial Ghosts were both shocked and delighted; startled by Gao Xuan’s formidable pretense, nearly scared to death, yet glad the opponent was ultimately a feigned prowess, impressive but ineffective.

Li Ripples and the Peacock King also saw the battle in the sky, and since the Celestial Ghosts were preoccupied with combating Gao Xuan, they were much relieved.

However, they were still trapped within the Celestial Ghost Array, making escape not easy.

At this point, Li Ripples and the Peacock King could only watch and hope that Gao Xuan would win the battle!

But observing the sky battle, the Peacock King was unsettled. It was evident that Gao Xuan suffered losses.

Indeed, it was understandable. After all, it was the combined force of the Twelve Celestial Ghosts, with the Ghost Emperor overseeing the launch.

Even if Gao Xuan had the ability to reach the heavens, he couldn’t possibly overpower the Twelve Celestial Ghosts led by the Ghost Emperor.
