Chapter 72

Without any warning, Huang Xing suddenly chose to harm himself. However, in Lu Li's view, his self-harm was not much different from suicide.

That pitch-black dagger was extremely bizarre and filled with evil. Being stabbed by such a dagger, the chances of survival were almost zero.

However, when Huang Xing uttered the words "soul sacrifice," Lu Li's expression finally changed.

Although he had not seen many ghost cultivation techniques and had never heard of the "Ghost Devouring Spell," any technique that involved a soul sacrifice must be incredibly powerful. The four major sealing spells were like this, and the "Ghost Devouring Spell" was likely no less powerful, if not more so.

Thinking of this, Lu Li's brows furrowed, and he was about to make his move. The more powerful the spell, the more severe the backlash.

However, it was already too late. Huang Xing's transformation happened very quickly. Large amounts of blood flowed from his seven orifices, evaporating before they hit the ground. His body rapidly became emaciated, and he was soon nothing but skin and bones.

Not only that, but as his body changed, a pitch-black vortex formed around him. The vortex was extremely bizarre and produced a tremendous suction force as soon as it appeared.

Suddenly, Lu Li heard two "ya ya" sounds behind him. A small white ghost soul uncontrollably rushed toward the vortex, about to be sucked in.

Even if he thought about it with his backside, he could guess that once it entered the vortex, it would surely be completely devoured to enhance Huang Xing's power.

Although the Nine Yin Ghost Infant had regained its sanity through the use of a Clear Spirit Talisman by Lu Li, its inherent strength still existed. If Huang Xing succeeded, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Lu Li did not hesitate, quickly taking out a talisman and stepping forward to grab the Nine Yin Ghost Infant's leg.

Originally, only magical artifacts and spells could attack or contact ghost bodies; human bodies could not. However, with the talisman as a medium, he easily held onto the ghost infant.

The suction force of the pitch-black vortex was extremely strong. Lu Li exerted all his strength just to hold on, preventing the ghost infant from being devoured.

Although he protected the Nine Yin Ghost Infant, there were indeed many ghost souls in the building, more than ten in total. Lu Li initially found this strange, as the location was in the city and the building was under construction, with people coming and going. It was impossible for so many ghost souls to exist. However, when he saw the ghost souls with blank expressions, he suddenly understood.

"Driving so many ghost souls, truly despicable."

After devouring ten ghost souls, the pitch-black vortex seemed to belch and finally disappeared. A red light flashed in Huang Xing's eyes, which had turned completely blood red.

He licked his lips, looked at Lu Li, and grinned, "Lu Li, I will die today, but so will you."

Lu Li watched Huang Xing, pulling the ghost infant back cautiously and letting it go, "Hide, I'll deal with him and then send you away."

The Nine Yin Ghost Infant seemed to understand Lu Li's words, nodding its small head and instantly disappearing.

With no more concerns, Lu Li put away the lightning-struck jujube wood sword, placed his hands in front of his chest, and said calmly, "I have no objection to your death, but whether you can kill me depends on your ability."

"Tsk tsk, not only will you die, but I will also devour your soul, ensuring you can never be reborn."

Huang Xing cackled, his face, which was only skin, looking even more terrifying.

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly lunged forward, swinging the dagger at Lu Li.

Seeing Huang Xing initiate the attack, Lu Li was not afraid. He slightly sidestepped to avoid the dagger and kicked Huang Xing's waist. Huang Xing did not even try to dodge, continuing to swing the dagger at Lu Li's shoulder.

"Bang."

A powerful kick to Huang Xing's waist felt like kicking a steel plate. Lu Li quickly retreated two steps, his foot aching.

"What the hell is this thing?"

His body was as hard as iron, his speed was fast, his strength was incredible, and he was not afraid of pain. Most importantly, he still had his sanity. The only evil creature that Lu Li could associate with these characteristics was a zombie king.

Of course, the current Huang Xing was far inferior to a zombie king, at most having the combat power of an ordinary zombie.

"Ha ha, how about that? Are you afraid!"

"Scared of what!"

Lu Li roared and pounced again.

Throat lock, eye poke, groin strike—these three deadly moves made him realize that Huang Xing was not afraid of them at all, showing no signs of pain. But then again, Huang Xing's face had no flesh, so how could it show pain?

Swish, swish, swish.

Lu Li's attacks were ineffective, but Huang Xing grew more aggressive. His originally somewhat clumsy movements gradually became more coordinated. If not for his lack of combat experience, Lu Li would have been hit long ago.

After more than ten rounds of fighting, Lu Li was always on the defensive, almost being injured by the dagger. Seizing the opportunity to kick Huang Xing back, he retreated two steps, took out a talisman from his pocket, and said coldly, "I don't want to fight anymore, I'll finish you off in one go."

Saying that, he threw the talisman, made a hand seal with both hands, and chanted softly, "In the dim and dark, the world is dim, lightning and fire, drive away evil and subdue demons, quick!"

Rumble.

Suddenly, thunder rumbled on the rooftop. Huang Xing turned back in fear, his body trembling as he tried to escape. However, no matter how fast he was, he could not escape the lightning. A bolt of lightning struck him, landing on his head.

Instantly, Huang Xing let out a painful howl, black smoke pouring out of his body, which was then eliminated by the lightning. As the black smoke dissipated, Lu Li could clearly feel his strength decreasing.

"Not dead yet? I'll give you a few more."

Lu Li sneered and took out several more lightning talismans from his pocket.

"Quick!"

"Quick!"

"Quick!"

Without waiting for Huang Xing to react, he threw three more lightning talismans.

For a moment, thunder roared, and lightning whistled.

His body, hard as steel, was torn apart by the lightning, instantly covered in wounds. Some parts exposed large areas of white bone, which then turned black and charred.

"Thud."

His legs broke, and Huang Xing fell to the ground with a thud.

"Ha ha, if you kill me, you won't have it easy either." Huang Xing's face became even more grotesque, almost like a moving skull.

Lu Li laughed lightly, stepped forward, and took out the lightning-struck peach wood sword, cleanly and neatly stabbing it into Huang Xing's eye socket.

"Ah!"

Huang Xing let out a疯狂的惨叫，伸手想拔出木剑，但手刚碰到木剑，就急忙缩了回去。

阵阵黑气从他身上冒出来，转眼消失。

卢离静静注视着这一切，眼中没有丝毫怜悯。等到再也没有黑气溢出，他上前取下木剑，接着弯腰捡起那把漆黑匕首。

“小鬼头，跟我走吧！”

卢离对着空中说了一句，扭头离开，迈出几步，他突然转头看向身后的九阴鬼婴，脸上露出一丝邪笑：“咱们合伙演场戏，如何？”

In a moment of madness, Huang Xing let out a疯狂的惨叫，reaching out to pull the wooden sword, but quickly withdrew his hand as soon as it touched the sword.

Black smoke continued to rise from his body, quickly dissipating.

Lu Li watched all of this calmly, with no trace of mercy in his eyes. Once the black smoke stopped, he stepped forward, removed the wooden sword, and then bent down to pick up the pitch-black dagger.

"Little ghost, come with me!"

He said this to the air, turned, and left. After a few steps, he suddenly turned to look at the Nine Yin Ghost Infant behind him, a sinister smile on his face, "Shall we put on a show together?"
