Just as he was about to charge towards the blood sphere, a beast shadow lunged forward, colliding with it with a loud crash, causing both to rebound.

Everyone present was intently watching this sudden turn of events, and the ghost cultivators knew something was amiss, all muttering quietly in alarm.

At that moment, a figure flashed beneath the blood sphere, reaching out to grab it in his hand.

It was Wang Xiaoqiang.

And the one that had knocked back the Ghost King was Wang Xiaoqiang's patterned beast.

After being knocked back, the Ghost King barely stabilized himself, and upon seeing Wang Xiaoqiang seize the blood sphere, his eyes turned crimson with rage, glaring fiercely and shouting hatefully, "Kid, give me back my blood sphere!"

With a roar, he leaped again, recklessly charging towards Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoqiang smirked playfully, waving his hand, causing the patterned beast to unleash a fierce roar and charge at the Ghost King once more.

The Ghost King dared not collide with the patterned beast bodily again, and instead, summoned the Ghost Lamp.

The Ghost Lamp flew out from his robe sleeve, glowing bright without ignition, flashing its light and blocking the Ghost King's front.

As the patterned beast charged towards the Ghost Lamp, it opened its mouth, roaring thunderously, unleashing the Leo technique from the Star Chart, extinguishing the lamp's flame with a single roar.

The Ghost King's intention was to use the Ghost Lamp to entangle the patterned beast, then personally attempt to seize the blood sphere. However, he hadn't anticipated the Pet Beast's roar would extinguish the lamp, leaving him in shock.

Slightly stunned, he flicked the Ghost Lamp, sending a Yin Fire Bullet to its top, reigniting the lamp immediately.

After reigniting the Ghost Lamp, the Ghost King reached out to grab it, aiming its flame at the patterned beast and spitting out, launching a ghost fire, forming a purple rocket charging towards the patterned beast.

The patterned beast spat out a flame from its mouth, as substantial as reality, colliding with the rocket in a booming explosion.

The Ghost King, unable to quickly defeat the opposing Pet Beast, felt deeply frustrated and anxious, shouting, "Elder Ghost Spirit, your essence blood has been seized by this human kid. If you don't appear soon, I'm afraid you won't get it."

"Worthless! Can't even handle a human kid!" An angry rebuke sounded from the sacrificial altar, and a ghostly shadow floated out, condensing in shape atop the altar, towering one yard high, resembling a giant ghost with a cyan face like a towering celestial spire.

"Oww~~~"

As soon as the fierce ghost appeared, it emitted a ghostly wail, vastly more powerful than any wail from the Ghost Generals, chilling everyone's hearts, rendering the scene silent, cold sweat running freely as its eyes, lantern-sized, flashed blood-red, sweeping across, oppressively suffocating all below.

"Elder Ghost Spirit!"

Seeing this fierce ghost, all Ghost Soldiers and Ghost Generals bowed in unison, shouting with reverence.

"Kid, dare you snatch my things, truly seeking death!" The ghost spirit's gaze settled on Wang Xiaoqiang, pointing and roaring fiercely before a ghostly shadow separated from its form, rushing towards Wang Xiaoqiang, stretching tree-trunk-like arms, massive ghost hands grasping for the blood sphere in Wang Xiaoqiang's hand.

Before the ghost hand could grip, Wang Xiaoqiang tossed the blood sphere, spinning and flashing blood-light, rising high into the air.

At that moment, everyone's gaze fixated tightly on the blood sphere, necks craned skyward.

While tossing the blood sphere, Wang Xiaoqiang immediately released ten million Spiritual Springs, attaching to the blood sphere, striving to absorb the blood qi within.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang toss the blood sphere into the air when the ghost shadow arrived, thinking Wang Xiaoqiang feared it, it let out an arrogant cry, leaping forward, extending its hand to grab the blood sphere.

Wang Xiaoqiang raised his eyebrows, pulling out the Sun-Shooting Bow, firing an arrow at the ghostly hand.

Whoosh!

The Soldier Aura Arrow pierced through the ghost hand, causing the ghostly shadow to howl in pain, retracting its hand...

The ghost spirit, enraged by the turn of events, its massive body moved with booming momentum, stirring winds like thunder, flying towards the blood sphere. Stretching its hand to grab the sphere.

Just as the ghost spirit rose, almost grasping the blood sphere in its hand, the blood sphere... vanished.

This scene was too bizarre!

Everyone, all ghost cultivators, stood dumbfounded, unsure of what just happened.

This blood sphere, condensed from the essence blood of eighteen thousand ghost cultivators, would take a regular cultivator at least a month to refine. Even this powerful ghost spirit would need a week, yet now, the blood sphere vanished into thin air.

The issue was, no one had refined it.

It couldn't get any more bizarre!

"Screech~~~"

The ghost spirit let out a ghost cry, as if being mocked, boiling with rage as its massive form descended, abruptly turning its body around. Its lantern-sized eyes cast down blood-red, releasing red beams and aiming at Wang Xiaoqiang.

With a thought, Wang Xiaoqiang released his three-layered golden shell, encasing his body.

In the next moment...

The two red beams enveloped him, striking the surface of the first golden shell, turning extremely scorching, roasting the shell red hot, causing black smoke to rise...

The ghost spirit's eyes, refined endlessly by ghost fires over countless ages, had forged a pair of Red Light Ghost Eyes, capable of emitting ghost light in beam form, refining everything.

If those Red Light Ghost Eyes were not blocked by the golden shell but fell upon Wang Xiaoqiang's skin, even as a Vajra Body Fourth Layer Body Refining Master with tough flesh, he'd be roasted alive.

"Kid, hand over the blood sphere or I'll roast you into fine human flesh for seasoning my drinks!"

Not deterred by Wang Xiaoqiang's golden shell, the ghost spirit was arrogant in believing its Red Light Ghost Eyes could refine anything, and thus it continuously released red light, refining and refining...

Though blocked by the golden shell, Wang Xiaoqiang still felt intense heat, as if enveloped by two flames, unceasingly roasting him.

Although the golden shell could block golden light, it transmitted heat, the overwhelming heat flowing through the golden shell, reaching his body.

Releasing cool water element spiritual qi to swim through his body for cooling, Wang Xiaoqiang quickly flashed around, but his movements were faster than the opponent's Red Light Ghost Eyes, constantly encapsulating him regardless of his actions.

After a flurry of movements, Wang Xiaoqiang suddenly halted, drew the Sun-Shooting Bow, firing two arrows at the ghost spirit's blood-red eyes.

Whoosh whoosh!

Soldier Aura Arrows filled with electric arc shot towards the ghost spirit's eyes.

The ghost spirit snorted coldly, its eyes flashing, red light thickening into palpable flames, burning the incoming arrows.

The arrows slowed, reddening, emitting smoke, twisting and deforming three meters from the Red Light Ghost Eyes, slowing further, one foot from the eyes, red light completely melted them apart.

"Heh heh, kid, my Red Light Ghost Eyes can refine everything. How can your little arrows hurt me?"

As the ghost spirit became gleefully complacent, amidst the dispersed arrows, flashes appeared, electrical arcs erupted, striking the Red Light Ghost Eyes.

"Oww~~" the ghost spirit shrieked miserably, hands covered in condensed corpse qi, shielding its wounded eyes.

Arrogance leads to folly, yet one must pay for their arrogance! (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to cast recommendation tickets, vote monthly, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com for reading.)
