Seeing the Ghost Young Master who had just escaped meet his demise, Five Spirit True Immortal's heart sank, silently thinking something was amiss. Wang Xiaoqiang had not come alone; he had brought assistance!

Moreover, to have killed the formidable Ghost Young Master in such a short amount of time, this helper must be very powerful.

Realizing this, Five Spirit True Immortal felt a wave of regret. Since Wang Xiaoqiang had help, even if he were to kill Wang Xiaoqiang now to silence him, the information would still get out, and his collusion with the Ghost Cultivators would be exposed.

Understanding that he now had no way out, Five Spirit True Immortal's heart was filled with boundless hatred. He secretly planned to flee to the Ghost Territory with the Ghost King after killing Wang Xiaoqiang and then consider his next move.

"All disciples, hear my command: kill Wang Xiaoqiang!" Five Spirit True Immortal drew his Immortal Sword with a swift movement and pointed it at Wang Xiaoqiang, shouting orders to his elite disciples.

Wang Xiaoqiang drew the Penglai Immortal Sword and also pointed it at Five Spirit True Immortal, saying, "Five Spirit True Immortal has colluded with Ghost Cultivators, committing grave sins. I will report this to His Majesty and eradicate his entire clan. If you associate with him, you will share his punishment!"

Hearing this, the twenty elite disciples' faces changed. One person's death was manageable, but to eradicate an entire clan was too severe a punishment; who could bear it?

These twenty people, being elite disciples of the Five Spirit Sect, mostly came from prestigious Cultivation Families with numerous relatives. If their entire clans were to be eradicated, who knows how many people would die?!

At once, the twenty of them stood indifferent.

They chose to remain neutral, neither killing Wang Xiaoqiang nor helping him fight against Five Spirit True Immortal.

Five Spirit True Immortal no longer relied on these disciples; with a low roar and a flick of his sword light, he struck at Wang Xiaoqiang.

This strike was not a test but a deadly slash!

Wang Xiaoqiang's eyes flashed, and with a push of his Penglai Immortal Sword, a dazzling sword light met Five Spirit True Immortal's strike, both giving their all.

The two torrents of sword light clashed fiercely, and a powerful shockwave burst out like an exploding bomb, shaking the entire Five Spirit Sect.

Under the intense shockwave, everyone fled in different directions to avoid the impact.

Though Five Spirit True Immortal had the cultivation base of the Eightfold Body of the Immortal Venerable, before using his avatars, his strength was just about evenly matched with Wang Xiaoqiang.

After the exchange, Five Spirit True Immortal felt the grip of his sword hand split open, fresh blood seeping out. The powerful shockwave disrupted his blood and qi, while Wang Xiaoqiang seemed unscathed.

"Hmm, could Wang Xiaoqiang be a Body Refining Master?" Five Spirit True Immortal stared at Wang Xiaoqiang, secretly puzzled. "If that's the case, I'm no match for him."

Five Spirit True Immortal didn't think further, shouting, "Split!!"

Instantly, eight avatars separated from his body. The eight avatars then charged at Wang Xiaoqiang simultaneously.

Five Spirit True Immortal's advantage was his numerous avatars, which he naturally used to overwhelm Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoqiang, with a mere thought, released four avatars to meet the attack, fighting two against one against Five Spirit True Immortal's avatars.

Knowing his avatars couldn't hold out for long, Wang Xiaoqiang, in front of so many people, couldn't release his Demon Droplet. He had no choice but to use Visualization-Type Techniques.

However, just as he had this thought, the Ghost King made his move.

The Ghost King waved his hand, and a flash of white light revealed a Skeleton Puppet before him.

The Skeleton Puppet, holding a White Bone Blade covered in corpse qi, glared malevolently at Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoqiang drew the Sun-Shooting Bow and shot an arrow at the Skeleton Puppet.

Whoosh!

The sound of the arrow piercing through the air was heard as the Gang Qi Arrow sped toward the Skeleton Puppet.

But just as the Gang Qi Arrow was about to hit the Skeleton Puppet, it suddenly vanished, reappearing behind Wang Xiaoqiang and swinging its White Bone Blade at his back.

Roar!!

Suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed, causing the White Bone Blade covered in corpse qi to hesitate momentarily. Then, Wang Xiaoqiang's Patterned Beast charged from his back, crashing into the Skeleton Puppet with a tremendous force.

Crash!

The Skeleton Puppet was sent flying, tracing an arc in the air before crashing to the ground heavily.

With a loud crash, the Skeleton Puppet shattered into fragments of white bone.

The Ghost King hadn't expected Wang Xiaoqiang to have a pet beast, planning to use the Skeleton Puppet for a sneak attack. The puppet he painstakingly crafted was destroyed in one blow.

The Ghost King didn't have time to lament the loss; with a wave of his hand, he summoned a second Skeleton Puppet.

This Skeleton Puppet was twice the size of the previous one, with corpse qi radiating off it heavily. The denser the corpse qi, the stronger the puppet, at least twice as powerful as the first.

Wang Xiaoqiang used the same trick, drawing the bowstring of the Sun-Shooting Bow at the Skeleton Puppet.

This Skeleton Puppet was much more agile. As soon as Wang Xiaoqiang drew back the bowstring, it teleported, vanishing from its original spot.

Without hesitation, Wang Xiaoqiang turned the Sun-Shooting Bow, aiming an arrow at the Ghost King.

Whoosh!

Bang!

The Gang Qi Arrow, appended with lightning, pierced into the Ghost King's chest. The electric arc crackled and sizzled, making the Ghost King's face contort in agony.

The Ghost King hadn't expected Wang Xiaoqiang to shoot an arrow at him, as doing so was incredibly risky.

Soon enough, the Skeleton Puppet reappeared like a specter by Wang Xiaoqiang's right side, swinging its White Bone Blade covered in corpse qi at Wang Xiaoqiang's left arm.

Wang Xiaoqiang couldn't dodge in time and was struck on his left arm.

The White Bone Blade wasn't particularly sharp, leaving only a small wound. But the most terrifying part was the blade's corpse qi, which began to spread through the wound, chilling to the bone...

Wang Xiaoqiang quickly channeled Fire Element Spiritual Qi to resist.

Having dealt with corpse qi before, he dared to take this risk.

Just as the Skeleton Puppet injured Wang Xiaoqiang, the Patterned Beast roared, opening its mouth wide and spewing a stream of fire at the puppet.

The substantial fire enveloped the Skeleton Puppet, setting it ablaze instantly.

The Skeleton Puppet released all its corpse qi to resist the flames.

The ghostly white corpse qi and the purplish-red flames crackled as they clashed, eventually neutralizing each other into nothingness.

Nonetheless, the skeleton frame of the puppet's chest was still dotted with burn marks from the Fire Spirit Technique, much like the Ghost King's chest, scorched by electric arcs.

The master and puppet both looked extremely disheveled.

Wang Xiaoqiang unleashed the Fire Element Spiritual Qi from over seven million Spiritual Springs within his body, quickly driving the corpse qi out of the wound. Then he used Wood Element Spiritual Qi to heal, and the wound visibly closed up.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang unaffected by the corpse qi, the Ghost King felt a chill in his heart, thinking, "Is Wang Xiaoqiang even human? How can he resist the invasion of corpse qi?!"
