Chapter 170 Trial Realm (9)
Even though their strength was already quite good and their flying speed was very fast, they were nothing compared to a Golden Core cultivator. The Ghost King quickly caught up with them, and the aura of the Netherworld surrounded them, making it difficult for them to even breathe.
The two exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of fear in each other's eyes. This was a Golden Core cultivator, someone they couldn't possibly handle. Even if there were geniuses who could fight against Golden Core cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage, that was only when they were at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment and ready to advance to the Golden Core stage. Their cultivation levels weren't even at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment yet.
At this moment, they saw the demon king, who wore a dark green robe and had a horn on his head. He looked extremely evil and didn't seem like a creature of the human world.
He opened his mouth, and the surrounding eerie atmosphere became even more intense. A fierce wind howled, and ghosts wailed.
"You two damned snake demons dared to kill my children like that. Prepare to die! I will avenge my children."
So this is the ultimate danger in the night. If you want to leave the safe zone in the dark, you have to keep killing ghosts. Once you've killed enough, the Ghost King will come to claim your life. This is something that these Foundation Establishment cultivators can't withstand.
The Ghost King merely spoke, without even making a move. Yet, the ghostly aura was so oppressive that they could hardly breathe, and they even felt an intense chill—this was the suppression of living beings by death and ghostly energy.
They didn't even have the intention of making a move. To do so now would be like moths to a flame, offering no chance of survival. But Gu Yuchuan wasn't afraid; his title of War God granted him a teleportation ability. The only question was what to do with his second brother. He looked at the Ink Scale Demon General, who immediately understood his meaning.
"If you have a way to escape, Third Brother, use it immediately. This is not an enemy we can fight. Let's each rely on our own abilities to escape."
Although he had his own methods, he didn't know if he could escape from the Ghost King at the Golden Core stage. However, he had one thought: he couldn't implicate his brothers. Gu Yuchuan was someone who could strive for the final ranking. If he were eliminated now, it would be a huge loss.
Since he had said that, Gu Yuchuan nodded. He would leave immediately if he sensed anything was wrong; he wasn't the kind of person who was pedantic.
“Alright, second brother, I do have a way to leave. Now, I'll distract him for a bit. We're not far from the safe zone. Try to see if you can run there.”
The Ink Scale Demon General's eyes gleamed: "Alright, you be careful too, don't get hurt."
After he finished speaking, Gu Yuchuan rushed out. Gu Yuchuan himself understood that he only had the ability to strike once. They were facing a Golden Core cultivator. He dared to make a move because of his Golden Light Spell. Even if you are a Ghost King in the Golden Core stage, you are still a ghost, a kind of evil spirit. You will be restrained by his Golden Light Spell. He believed that the Golden Light Spell would have some effect.
Sure enough, the pagoda formed by the Golden Light Mantra suppressed the Ghost King's head, and for a moment, the ghostly energy thinned out considerably.
"Second brother, run!"
The Ink Scale Demon transformed into its true form and vanished into the horizon like a streak of black divine light. The Ghost King roared, and a white skull shot towards the golden pagoda. He exhaled a puff of black smoke in the air, and the once invincible pagoda began to sway precariously. The difference in their cultivation levels was simply too great.
However, this time is definitely not enough. He needs to buy some more time to allow the Ink Scale Demon to return to the safe zone. The safe zone is not far from here, but it is still some distance away.
He needed to launch another attack, but his Golden Light Spell only had this much effect. What else could he use? He wasn't quite sure himself. After thinking for a moment, he activated his Wind and Rain Summoning power. Anyway, his goal was to hold off the opponent for a while, not to win.
The clouds and mist shrouded the area, and even the Ghost King couldn't instantly see through these clouds that summoned wind and rain—that was the power of supernatural abilities. Even those with great cultivation were affected.
In fact, Gu Yuchuan didn't need to stop the Ghost King like this, because the Ghost King's target was him. It was him who killed ten thousand ghosts, not the Mo Lin Demon General who killed ten thousand ghosts. The Mo Lin Demon General was just an innocent bystander. So as long as he ran away, the Ghost King wouldn't be able to find him and would naturally leave without doing anything.
However, Gu Yuchuan was unaware of this at the time, as he was still trying his best to stop the other party. However, the Ghost King was only briefly stopped for a short while, and soon the ghost energy dispersed the clouds. But judging from the time, the Ink Scale Demon General was not far from the safe point, so he didn't need to worry about it anymore. He could just leave now.
"Ghost King, you are powerful, but just wait, one day I will come back and kill you."
Having said that, he activated the divine power associated with his title, and a teleportation array appeared beneath his feet. The Ghost King let out a strange cry, trying to stop Gu Yuchuan, but he couldn't break it. This was a rule within the secret realm, and even a Golden Core cultivator like himself couldn't break it. He could only watch helplessly as Gu Yuchuan left.
The next second, Gu Yuchuan arrived in a safe zone. This sudden appearance startled the nearby cultivators, who thought something had happened in the safe zone. However, Gu Yuchuan did not make a move, and some of them recognized him, so nothing serious was caused. Mo Lin Demon General also returned to the nearest safe zone. Both of them were safe, just in different safe zones.
At this point, there wasn't much time left until sunrise; it would soon be the third day.
As the first rays of dawn appeared, the voice rang out again.
"On the third day, the secret realm will shrink by half. Please follow the map's directions to enter the safe zone. Two hours later, players who fail to enter the safe zone will be eliminated. On the third day, a new small secret realm will be created within the secret realm. Only those with the right destiny can open it at the very center of the secret realm. Friendly reminder: there is a red weapon in this small secret realm with power equivalent to a magic weapon. Good luck, players."
Gu Yuchuan frowned, his face turning extremely grim. This red weapon had a tremendous impact on the battle, even affecting the entire balance. Even a Foundation Establishment Stage 7 cultivator could achieve a good ranking if he obtained this red weapon, and even a Foundation Establishment Stage 1 cultivator couldn't defeat him.
This undoubtedly increases the bloodshed between them, forcing them to fight in the middle of the secret realm. It seems that the killing on the second day was not much. The powerful figures outside who wanted to speed up the process had no choice but to kill. Gu Yuchuan was determined to have this red weapon.
