Chapter 96: Killing the Ghost Shadow (Part 2)

  Of course, it's possible that the voice isn't exactly the same, but in terms of subtlety, at least it has reached a level where even Xuan Tian can't tell them apart.

  Ghost Shadow Bewildering Steps, Third Layer. Even if it's a pre-heavenly boundary fifth or sixth layer expert, they can't distinguish between reality and illusion through sound. You can't hear the "chatter chatter chatter"

  The enthusiastic laughter of the ghostly swordsman, accompanied by the sword's edge, came from all directions.

  However, Xuantian's eyes snapped open, his face showing no fear at all. His lips curled up: "Ghost Shadow Swordsman, is this your final trump card? Even a warrior in the Fourth Heaven of the Innate Realm would struggle to survive under this move. Unfortunately for you, you've encountered me!" As soon as Xuantian's voice rose, a formless aura suddenly erupted from him, like countless sharp swords bursting out of his body and slashing towards all directions, revealing an aura of unparalleled sharpness.

  A space of fifty meters in diameter was enveloped by an invisible aura, as if there were countless sharp swords crisscrossing inside, which was the power of sword intent.

  The sword intent is sharp and unparalleled, with a fierce aura that can annihilate all illusory things. The seven fake silhouettes of the Ghost Shadow Swordsman were instantly destroyed by the sword intent, leaving no trace behind.

  "What? Is it the power of sword intent? Your innate first-grade cultivation has actually grasped sword intent?" Ghost Shadow Swordsman shouted in disbelief.

  The surroundings were empty, all true and false, real and unreal, were clearly in the hands of Xuan Tian's "Initial Blue Sword". Suddenly, a dazzling blue sword aura burst out, slashing towards the only remaining figure of the Ghost Shadow Swordsman.

  This sword, Xuan Tian used 10% of his power, one slash down, weighing over 10,000 kilograms, the terrifying force made Guiying Sword Guest's eyes instantly turn into terror.

  Clang!

  "The Azure Sword clashed with the Ghost Shadow Swordsman's Xuanjie Lower Grade Treasure Sword, producing a loud cracking sound. The immense power sent the Xuanjie Lower Grade Treasure Sword flying out of his hand. The blue sword aura was unmatched in power and continued to slash at the Ghost Shadow Swordsman, aiming to cut him in half."

  The ghostly swordsman quickly turned around and dodged while shouting loudly: "Shen Jiao is invincible, Shen Gong protects the body!"

  Suddenly, a faint green light burst out from the body of Guiying Sword Guest, forming an aura that enveloped him.

  "The Azure Sword flashed, and in an instant it slashed onto the air mask."

  The defensive power of this mask is incredibly strong. "Initial Blue Sword, slash through, unexpectedly unable to cut off the aura, but the huge force still sent the Ghost Shadow Swordsman flying backward and exploding upward, crossing a distance of over 50 meters before heavily crashing onto the ground.

  The mask blocked the "First Blue Sword", but it couldn't block the shock of the ten-thousand-jin force combined with the innate true energy, and the Ghost Shadow Swordsman spat out a mouthful of blood, suffering an internal injury.

  Not having time to nurse his wounds, the Swordsman in Black sprang up from the ground, pulled out a pellet of medicinal dan from his bosom and swallowed it instantly. At the same time, his body flashed once, and his lightness skill was brought to its highest point. His body streaked across a residual shadow, fleeing into the woods.

  Xuantian can confirm that Guiying Sword Guest is not an ordinary Jianghu rogue. Just now, he shouted loudly and had a bit of evil cult aura. If we let him escape, it will be a big trouble.

  One foot stomped on the ground, creating a footprint over an inch deep. Xuan Tian's body suddenly vanished, executing "Dragon Tiger Step", using the reaction force, his shadow shot towards Guiying Sword Guest like an arrow.

  Xuantian's "Dragon Tiger Step" had reached the Great Perfection Realm, with a speed that was extremely fast. In a state of frantic sprinting, he could cover 50-60 meters in just one breath, slightly slower than the Ghost Shadow Swordsman.

  However, Xuan Tian cultivated the "Nine Forging Technique" and had a very strong physique, with immense power that was unmatched. Although his power couldn't be fully converted into speed, his great strength could still make him faster.

  Xuantian's body contained immense power, and with a fierce kick on the ground, it was as if an enormous elephant had passed by, leaving behind a footprint over an inch deep. The massive counterforce sent Xuantian's speed soaring, increasing it by at least 50%.

  With one breath, Xuan Tian sprinted forward for eighty to ninety meters, his speed faster than an arrow in flight. Although the Ghost Shadow Swordsman's lightness skill was slightly superior to Xuan Tian's, his speed was slightly slower than Xuan Tian's.

  After a few breaths, the two rushed more than 200 meters, one after another, and charged into the forest.

  Two people entered the forest, and in just over a dozen breaths, a sudden horseshoe sound came from afar, approaching nearer. Feng Buji, Gu Qianrou, and Sun Yiqiu arrived at the place where the two were having a fierce battle.

  "Send for Master Ti's horse!"

  "There are many signs of battles on the ground!"

  "Bad, there's a bloodstain over there!"

  "That Yan has a long sword!"

  The three of them dismounted their horses and took in everything around them with a glance.

  Feng Bu Zhi and the three others quickly arrived in front of the long sword on the ground, picked it up, Feng Bu Zhi's worried brow relaxed, saying: "This is the sword of Gui Ying Sword Guest, Wu Shixiong had a fight with him once, described to me Gui Ying Sword Guest's sword."

  Sun Yiqiu's face also showed a hint of a smile, saying: "Since the Ghost Shadow Swordsman's sword fell here, it seems that the two men's battle was won by Huang Shidi. The Ghost Shadow Swordsman is a warrior in the Second Heaven Realm, after all." Huang Shidi was only in the First Heaven Realm, yet he was able to win, this was truly too frightening!

  Although Gu Qianrou's face had calmed down a lot, she was still anxious and said: "Between the two of them, it must be a battle to the death. Now that we haven't seen anyone, the final outcome is unpredictable. Guiying Sword Guest is extremely cunning, and Huang Shidi only has a cultivation base of Xiantian first grade. Let's hurry up and check where they went. Quick, let's catch up, don't let Huang Shidi suffer in the end."

  Feng Bu Zhi and Sun Yi Qiu nodded in unison, and the three of them immediately began to survey the battlefield.

  "There is a very deep footprint here, identical to the other more obvious footprints. The Ghostly Swordsman's lightness skill is extremely high, those incomplete light footprints should be his, and the heavy footprints should be Huang Shidi's." The direction of the footprints points to the forest in front!

  Gu Qianrou stood in front of a footprint that was over an inch deep, beckoning Feng Bu Zhi and Sun Yi Qiu to come over.

  Two people came over to take a look, and indeed it was so. The three of them walked forward into the forest ahead, walking for fifty or sixty meters, but still hadn't seen any new footprints. Sun Yiqiu exclaimed in surprise: "How come we haven't seen any footprints even after going so far? Even if it's a Great Success Boundary Realm cultivator with a low-grade Lightness Skill, it shouldn't be possible to take a stride of fifty or sixty meters, right?"

  "Take another look down there!" Zhai Buqi said calmly.

  Three people moved forward, and at a distance of over 70 meters, they found a footprint that was not Xuan Tian's. Continuing forward, after the first footprint that was more than an inch deep, nearly 90 meters away, another footprint appeared, identical to the first one.

  All three of them inhaled a mouthful of cold air and couldn't help but exclaim: "Ninety meters in one step, what kind of lightness technique has Huang Shidi cultivated? What level has he reached?"

  They confirmed that Xuantian had entered the forest and knew the distance between his footprints. The three of them followed Xuantian's footprints, quickly chasing forward. After about 90 meters, there was another footprint on the ground, over an inch deep.

  Soon, Feng Buji, Gu Qianrou and Sun Yiqiu entered the forest.

  The Kuiyin Swordsman was running wildly in the forest, heading north, with Xuantian closely following behind him.

  After entering the forest, due to the obstruction of the trees, the speed of both people decreased.

  The lightness skill of the Ghost Shadow Swordsman was extremely strange, truly living up to its name, like a ghost shadow, floating and unstable, very agile. The trees in the forest couldn't reduce his speed by much, with one breath, he could still dash forward 50-60 meters.

  Xuantian then used "Dragon Tiger Step", with the tiger step in the midst of the forest, advancing rapidly. At the same time, his enormous strength allowed his body to adjust direction even faster, and his speed was not affected too much. With one breath, he could advance 70-80 meters forward.

  Xuantian used his massive strength to stomp the ground, using the enormous reaction force as propulsion, greatly increasing his speed. He was now much faster than Guiying Sword Guest, and the distance between them grew smaller and smaller.

  After entering the forest, they rushed north for about ten miles or more, and the distance between them

  Shortened to about fifty meters.

  Fifty meters, about a hundred paces away, was already within Xuantian's attack range, but he couldn't attack. The Ghost Shadow Swordsman was in the midst of a fierce dash, waiting for Xuantian's sword to slash forward by fifty meters before disappearing.

  However, Xuantian has his own way.

  The ghostly swordsman, who was running wildly, suddenly looked stunned, and in front of him, it seemed as if countless sharp swords were slashing towards him. The fierce sword energy pierced through his clothes, making his skin ache slightly.

  The swordsman was caught off guard and his body momentarily froze before he suddenly dodged to the side, avoiding a fierce attack that had come out of nowhere.

  However, there was no sound of attack from where he had just stood. The ghostly swordsman got up and again a fierce sword aura came pressing in, as if countless sharp swords were slashing towards him.

  The swordsman's heart suddenly skipped a beat: "Damn it, I've been deceived, it's Sword Intention!"

  However, it's too late now. The Ghost Shadow Swordsman had already caught up with Xuan Tian after that one strike.

  "Absolute Shadow Sword Technique: Heart Annihilation Style!"

  "Blue Sword, from tens of meters away, suddenly broke through the air and arrived, a blue sword aura suddenly appeared on the back of the Ghost Shadow Swordsman, and in an instant, it pierced through."

  Behind the blue sword hilt was a young man in green clothes, holding the "Initial Blue Sword", with a black scabbard on his back.

  One sword to cut off the heart!

  The swordsman stared at the blue sword tip that had pierced through his chest, his eyes filled with incredulity, which soon turned into resentment. He bellowed: "You dare to kill me? You'll definitely die! The Divine Sect won't let you off, my father won't let you off!" "I told you you'd die, but you didn't believe it!"

  Xuantian said lightly, and "Qinglan Sword" was withdrawn. Fresh blood suddenly sprayed out from the heart of Guiying Swordsman.

  "I refuse to accept it, I am the son of a ghostly warrior, how can I die? I just came to play in this inferior dynasty, how can I die? Unwilling...!" With a belly full of resentment, the Ghost Shadow Swordsman glared with wide eyes and died without closing his eyes.
