Chapter 44

The mountains of Qiudaoshan were shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.

Countless ghost cultivators of myriad races had their souls scattered here, making the resentment in this place extremely dense.

In just three short days, Jiang Wei had already encountered alien races seven times. Since his soul concentration was only three to five times, every alien ghost cultivator would regard him as an easy target; however, after each attempt, they all discovered—damn, this isn't a persimmon at all, it's a cactus in a persimmon's skin!

Jiang Wei, of course, was not the least bit courteous, devouring all these reckless alien ghost cultivators! Over the three days, his soul concentration soared from more than three times to five times.

"Indeed, devouring other ghosts is the fastest way to enhance one's strength!" Jiang Wei sighed, "Working hard for a month doesn't even match the gains of one day now!" The ghost cultivators who dared to come to Qiudaoshan generally had high soul concentrations; devouring one of them was equivalent to devouring several ordinary ghosts!

Of course, in Qiudaoshan, danger and opportunity coexist; you can eat other ghosts, but other ghosts can also eat you!

Jiang Wei's realm was high, and his perception was naturally sharp. While walking, he sensed an ambush not far ahead.

"It should be hiding in that tree!" About a hundred meters ahead, there was a giant tree with exceptionally lush branches and leaves; if a ghost cultivator were hiding there, it would be hard to spot even when approaching, "Those who like to hide in trees are likely snakes or birds!" Although Jiang Wei vaguely sensed the ambush, he couldn't determine the exact race of the ghost cultivator; at this point, experience was the key.

Despite not knowing the strength of the ambusher, Jiang Wei, who was bold due to his high skills, continued to walk as if he knew nothing. Of course, his mind was on high alert, ready to react at the slightest movement.

Jiang Wei kept approaching the lush giant tree.

Eighty meters...

Fifty meters...

Twenty meters...

Ten meters...

Until Jiang Wei reached the base of the giant tree, there was no movement.

"This ambusher is really patient!" The closer Jiang Wei got to the tree, the more certain he was that there was an ambush. However, he never once looked up at the tree.

Although Jiang Wei's eyes did not look up, his entire body could act as eyes, and he had already taken in everything around him—of course, including those sharp eyes that were closely watching him.

"Hmph!" Jiang Wei sneered inwardly, "Just a few little vultures!"

These little vultures were not weak, with soul strengths of seven to eight times. Upon discovering that Jiang Wei's soul concentration was only five times, they naturally did not hesitate and launched a coordinated ambush.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Five consecutive sounds of breaking air echoed as the five vultures pounced on Jiang Wei.

"Come on!"

Jiang Wei immediately activated the secret technique "Soul Devouring" and swept his spear at the five flying vultures.

The five vultures had no idea that Jiang Wei had been on high alert and did not expect his strength to be much greater than theirs. Caught off guard, the five vultures were all cut in half at the waist.

Moreover, Jiang Wei's spear was imbued with the "Soul Devouring" effect; as the spear swept through, it not only severed the souls of the five vultures but also absorbed the soul energy that scattered, transmitting it through the spear to Jiang Wei.

With just one spear, he devoured nearly ten percent of the five vultures' souls.

"Too terrifying!"

The five vultures, frightened, quickly gathered their souls and fled skyward. Although their movements were greatly affected by their severed souls, they managed to quickly ascend into the air by desperately flying.

"Want to run!?" Jiang Wei leaped up.

Jiang Wei couldn't fly and couldn't catch all five vultures, so he targeted the largest one.

Puff!

This time, Jiang Wei changed his sweeping to a thrust, directly impaling the vulture with the highest soul strength.

"Spare me, spare me!" Feeling the threat of death, the vulture begged for mercy.

"Go to the cycle of rebirth!" The old rule—let your true spirit go to the cycle of rebirth, but leave your soul energy behind!

The captured vulture understood that Jiang Wei was being merciful and did not resist, immediately beginning the process of soul dissolution. The other four vultures fled in panic, not even daring to look back.

After devouring this vulture, along with the energy absorbed from the "Soul Devouring" spear, Jiang Wei's soul concentration soared to six times!

"Too refreshing!" The feeling of a surge in strength was indeed wonderful.

After devouring, Jiang Wei tossed the "leftovers" to Little Gold and resumed his harmless appearance, preparing to continue wandering in the mountains.

At this moment, Jiang Wei suddenly saw a black ghostly figure rapidly approaching from behind; the figure was fierce, and Jiang Wei immediately felt a strong threat even before they clashed.

Jiang Wei did not dare to be complacent and turned to face the figure with his spear.

"Hmm?" Seeing Jiang Wei's quick reaction, the ghostly figure was clearly taken aback but became even more aggressive.

At this point, Jiang Wei finally saw that the ghostly figure was a human ghost cultivator hidden in a black robe.

"Human ghost cultivator, why are you attacking me?" Jiang Wei was shocked; killing one's own kind would bring sin!

The human ghost cultivator in the black robe did not give Jiang Wei any time to react and attacked fiercely. The ghost cultivator wielded a "Ghost Iron Great Saber," with a cold and fierce blade.

"Whoosh!"

To Jiang Wei, the human ghost cultivator's sword technique was full of flaws; however, he felt a great threat—no other reason, this strike was too fast, so fast that Jiang Wei was caught off guard.

Dodge!

Jiang Wei dodged while skillfully thrusting his spear at the weak point of the attack.

"Bang!"

The spear tip slightly deflected the blade, and Jiang Wei used the force to bounce back.

"Too strong!" In just one exchange, Jiang Wei felt that the ghost cultivator's strength was several times greater than his own. However, he still couldn't understand why the human ghost cultivator would attack him—was he not afraid of sin?

"Hehe, good kid, you have a few tricks!" The black-robed ghost cultivator grinned, revealing a bloodstained face hidden under the robe.

"This..." At this moment, Jiang Wei finally saw that the human ghost cultivator hidden in the black robe was emitting a surging aura of sin.

"It's a malevolent ghost!" Jiang Wei was greatly alarmed.

Moreover, from the intensity of the sin aura, it was a malevolent ghost with deep sin.
