Other vengeful spirits came from all directions, among them were some beings with extremely powerful auras—the Kings of Vengeful Spirits!
A giant vengeful spirit, over three zhang tall and composed of countless bones, roared towards the sky, its empty eye sockets burning with dark red flames.
Every step he took, the ground cracked like a spider web, and the stench of rot and death gushed out like a tidal wave.
On the other side, the vengeful spirit of a woman wearing tattered palace clothes, with a beautiful yet pale face, floated in the air. She held a broken jade hairpin in her hand and softly hummed an ancient, heart-wrenching melody.
Once the melody reached the ears, it would stir the soul, fill with sadness, and greatly reduce fighting spirit.
“Hmph, a remnant soul dares to be so impudent!”
Fiery red light radiated from the Red Cloud Demon Lord’s eyes, and his demonic energy exploded!
He stepped out of the net of light, and with a movement of his right hand, a longsword made entirely of dark red devil flames appeared out of thin air.
“Demon Flame – Soul Slayer!”
With a sweeping motion, the dark red sword streaked through the air, and wherever it passed, dozens of vengeful spirits turned to ashes before they could scream.
The giant skeletal vengeful spirit roared and swung its claws at the demon king, but the Red Cloud Demon King did not dodge or dodge, but instead swung its sword upwards in a backhanded strike!
“clang!!!”
A deafening roar, like the clink of metal, resounded throughout the valley!
The giant claw of the skeletal vengeful spirit was severed with a single attack, and demonic flames blazed wildly at the place of the fracture, quickly spreading to its body.
The vengeful spirit let out a painful roar, and its other claws raged wildly, trying to extinguish the demon flames, but how could the demon flames of the Red Cloud Demon Lord be ordinary flames?
That was the natal true fire that had fused with the demonic energy of the Lower Nine Realms, and was specially designed to burn souls!
Three breaths later, the massive body of the bony vengeful spirit collapsed with a loud crash, turning into a pile of scorched bone dust.
“That is it.”
The Red Cloud Demon Lord sheathed his sword and stood there, his fiery red demon eyes surveying his surroundings, revealing his domineering attitude.
Seeing the appearance of the Red Cloud Demon Lord, David couldn’t help but praise, “Senior Red Cloud, your strength must have reached the eighth rank of the Heavenly God Realm, right? Your improvement is very rapid!”
After hearing David’s praise, the Red Cloud Demon Lord blushed: “Compared with you, I am still much inferior”
Just then, the melancholy melody of the palace-dressed woman’s vengeful spirit suddenly turned urgent!
Numerous translucent sonic blades appeared in the air and shot towards the Red Cloud Demon Lord like a torrential downpour.
Even stranger, the sonic blades did not attack in a straight line, but instead zigzag and rotated in the air like living creatures, blocking all escape routes.
The Scarlet Cloud Demon Lord frowned slightly, preparing to block the attack, when a screen of golden red light suddenly unfurled in front of him.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The sonic sword struck the light barrier, releasing a series of explosive sounds. The light barrier shook violently, but remained intact.
The Scarlet Cloud Demon Lord turned his head and saw that the Earth Fire Ancestor had appeared beside him, his withered right hand pressed in front of him, with a slowly rotating golden red fire lotus floating in his palm.
That light screen was the protective flame released by the Fire Lotus.
“Don’t be careless.”
Earth Fire Ancestor said calmly, his turbid eyes staring at the palace-clothed woman’s vengeful spirit, “These ancient vengeful spirits were at least at the eighth rank of the Heavenly God Realm in their previous life, and some might even be at the Upper God Realm. Although the passage of time has eroded their powers to only a fraction of their former glory, they still retain their fighting instincts and special supernatural abilities.”
Before she finished speaking, the palace-clothed woman’s vengeful spirit suddenly stopped humming, raised her head, and looked at Earth Fire Ancestor with her empty eyes.
A moment later, he gently tapped the broken jade hairpin in his hand.
In the void, a hair-thin black line appeared soundlessly and, with a speed that surpassed divine sense perception, penetrated straight through Earth Fire Ancestor’s forehead!
