Chapter 45

The bloodlight of sin is the external manifestation of great sin. The more intense the bloodlight of sin on a malevolent ghost, the deeper their sin, and the more terrifying the power boost they receive!

For example, Jiang Wei's mortal enemy, Meng Feiyun, had only a faint trace of sin bloodlight, yet he received a power boost equivalent to five times that of an ordinary ghost; while the black-robed malevolent ghost before him had a sin bloodlight that surged like a wave, its intensity more than ten times that of Meng Feiyun!

Jiang Wei cautiously responded, "His soul strength is very low, only five times." However, Jiang Wei knew that this malevolent ghost's true strength was probably not inferior to that of a ghost cultivator with fifty times the soul strength.

If it weren't for the recent surge in his own strength, Jiang Wei would have already fled, how could he dare to stand against this black-robed malevolent ghost?

"Since you've already reached the ghost realm, how can you still dare to slaughter your own kind? Aren't you afraid that your sins will only deepen?" Jiang Wei stood with his spear, in a defensive stance, "Or do you plan to not have a next life after this one!?"

Virtue and sin directly affect the next life; a ghost with great sin will still meet a bad end even if they are reborn into the animal realm! However, some malevolent ghosts, after living this life, simply give up and let their souls dissipate, not caring about the next life; in such cases, virtue and sin are hard to threaten them.

Why should I bear the sins of this life in the next life? If I don't even have a next life, what can you do to me? Or even if there is a next life, that's a matter for the next life; I'll enjoy this life first! — Many malevolent ghosts have such thoughts, hence, despite being deeply entangled in great sin, they do not hesitate to commit heinous acts.

Of course, there are also "reformed" malevolent ghosts among them; though they were born with great sin in the ghost realm, they spend their entire yin lifespan trying to cleanse their sins in various ways, hoping for a better life in the next life. In the ghost realm, there are many "reformed" malevolent ghosts who, when reincarnated, not only carry no sin but also bring a pile of virtue.

"Next life? I already find this life too long, why would I need a next life!?" The black-robed malevolent ghost sneered, his ghost iron great saber already swinging down at Jiang Wei again, "If you can block my first strike, I don't believe you can block the second, third... As long as you miss one strike, you'll be soul-dissipated!"

"Whoosh!"

The ghost iron was cold, the blade light like water.

The black-robed malevolent ghost's attack was not particularly skillful, merely relying on his strength, speed, and ferocity. However, even such a simple attack was very challenging for Jiang Wei to defend against.

Jiang Wei's soul concentration had already reached six times, and his soul strength was as high as eighteen times, combined with the Insight Realm, his strength was undoubtedly formidable. However, the black-robed malevolent ghost's attacks, though simple, came one after another, completely suppressing Jiang Wei.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The black-robed malevolent ghost, relying on his absolute advantage in speed and strength, left Jiang Wei with no chance to counterattack; however, Jiang Wei's defense was flawless, and no matter how fierce the black-robed malevolent ghost's attacks were, he found no openings—indeed, for Jiang Wei in the Insight Realm, the word "opening" did not exist in his dictionary.

"This is meaningless!" Jiang Wei thought to himself.

Jiang Wei could see the black-robed malevolent ghost's openings at all times, but the speed of his strikes was too fast, making it impossible for Jiang Wei to exploit these openings or counterattack.

"Stop fighting, stop fighting!" Jiang Wei shouted.

"Stop fighting? You say stop fighting, and it stops?" The black-robed malevolent ghost sneered, "I think you're about to give up! Just die honestly!" The black-robed malevolent ghost laughed triumphantly.

Because his sins were too deep, the black-robed malevolent ghost had already given up on the next life; however, he enjoyed one thing—slaughtering ghost cultivators; and he would kill them to the point of soul dissipation, leaving no chance for reincarnation. In his view, since he didn't want a next life, he might as well take a few more with him.

So, whenever he saw the pain, unwillingness, anger, and despair on the faces of other ghost cultivators before they were soul-dissipated, he felt particularly satisfied. And a genius ghost cultivator like Jiang Wei was undoubtedly his favorite to kill—don't you think it's very pleasurable to stifle a genius?

"Ha ha ha ha..." Thinking of this, the black-robed malevolent ghost couldn't help but laugh out loud.

At this moment, Jiang Wei suddenly noticed a huge "black carpet" on the ground in the distance, rapidly moving toward his position.

"What is that!?" Jiang Wei was very surprised.

The black-robed malevolent ghost also saw the black carpet and was equally puzzled, "Huh? What is it?" However, his confusion lasted only a moment before it was replaced by boundless terror.

"This... this..." The black-robed malevolent ghost's face turned pale with fear.

Although the black-robed malevolent ghost didn't want a next life, he still wanted to enjoy this life. And precisely because he had no next life, he cherished this life even more! Therefore, he was more afraid of death than any other ghost!

"What is that thing?" Jiang Wei asked curiously.

"Ghost ants..." At this point, the black-robed malevolent ghost clearly didn't want to waste time on idle talk with Jiang Wei.

"Ghost ants?" Jiang Wei was greatly alarmed.

How could Jiang Wei not know the terror of ghost ants? It was said that wherever ghost ants passed, even a ghost cultivator at the peak of the Spirit Mastery stage would be torn into millions of soul fragments in an instant, then devoured.

Ghost ants were something that a ghost at the Spirit Mastery stage could not handle.

"Stop fighting, stop fighting, let's both run for our lives!" Now it was the black-robed malevolent ghost's turn to seek peace—why keep fighting? The ghost ants are coming, if we don't run, we'll die!

"Stop fighting?" Jiang Wei mimicked the black-robed malevolent ghost's earlier demeanor and sneered, "You say stop fighting, and it stops?" Jiang Wei had no intention of stopping; if the black-robed malevolent ghost dared to turn and run, he would definitely stab him without hesitation.

"Damn, are you crazy!? If you really want to fight, let's change the place, now we both stop! Hurry up!" The black-robed malevolent ghost was in a great hurry, "Once the ghost ant army approaches, neither of us will survive, and we will definitely be soul-dissipated!"

"Then let's be soul-dissipated!" Jiang Wei said indifferently.

The black-robed malevolent ghost was stunned, then cursed, "Damn, if you want to die, go die yourself, don't drag me in!"

Jiang Wei grinned, "I want to drag you in!"
