Chapter 186: 186, [The Imprisoned Ghost King] (Third update, asking for monthly passes!)
Since he was facing an elite-grade Ghost, Lu Xun didn’t dare to be careless and attacked with a Sword Array formed by multiple streams of Sword Qi instead of just charging in with a solitary Finger-tip Sword Qi.
The Ancient Fire Formation gathered in front of him and then descended from above, bearing down forcefully on the Ghost.
The small sword in his Sword Heart seemed a bit excited at the moment, seemingly eager for a thrilling fight!
Although entering the dungeon didn’t allow equipment, Lu Xun himself was the sword, which was equivalent to cheating!
Wherever he went, the sword followed!
Outside the dungeon, Snake Elder, completely covered in his cloak, had a look of disbelief.
“Under the condition of being without a sword, his Sword Qi still has such power!”
“No wonder he passed the previous levels so easily, it turns out he can also use Sword Arrays, he has researched Formations.”
“But this Sword Qi intensity is too exaggerated, if he had a sword in his hand, wouldn’t he be even stronger!?”
Snake Elder found it difficult to understand, this was beyond the scope of the Initial Realm third level!
Monster!
Freak!
Of course, Lu Xun didn’t know that Snake Elder was imagining his power if he had an actual sword. As a Non-Swordbearer, he was currently fighting with all his might.
With his current Divine Sense strength, controlling several Sword Formations simultaneously didn’t pose much of a burden.
Three Fire Path Sword Arrays attacked together, and the health bar above the Ghost’s head was rapidly decreasing.
“Bang!”
Two Sword Arrays were forcibly broken open by the Ghost. It had a black gas flowing from its body, as if it was bleeding.
“Ancient Water Sword Formation!”
“Let me provide you an ice and fire service!”
The Fire Path Sword Array and the Water Sword Array attacked from both sides, and the health bar above the Ghost’s head started to decrease rapidly again.
Outside the dungeon, Snake Elder’s dark green eyes widened. Despite being cold-blooded, he couldn’t help but shout:
“Dual cultivation of water and fire? That’s impossible!”
“How can water and fire be practiced together!?”
Lu Xun’s next move answered him directly.
His finger traced in mid-air a few times, causing a new Sword Formation to appear.
Ancient Metal Sword Formation, offensive at its core!
The Ghost was held back by the Water and Fire Sword Formations. The Metal Sword Formation struck it right on, directly annihilating its head!
Snake Elder squinted slightly. He was still a powerful demon after all, he couldn’t see what was clear?
Out of the Five Elements, three had already appeared. Since some were mutually restraining, they couldn’t coexist.
Unless he was practicing the Five Elements Cultivation, achieving a balance between generating and overcoming cycles which would allow a subtle balance in his Spiritual Power.
“He is actually practicing Five Elements Cultivation! Why would the man let his disciple practice Five Elements Cultivation?” Snake Elder couldn’t understand.
In the eyes of ordinary people, practicing Five Elements Cultivation is a dreadful thing.
The time and energy consumed by it is very scary and hard to achieve in one’s lifetime.
“Strange, so strange!” Snake Elder felt that it was really hard to guess the man’s thoughts.
At this time, the first Ghost was killed by Lu Xun, but his expression was not relaxed, on the contrary, he was somewhat serious.
It is one thing to fight one-on-one and another thing to fight two at once. As the saying goes, it’s hard to fight with four hands. Moreover, the combined strength of two elite-grade Ghosts is not as simple as one plus one equals two.
“Killing two elite-grade monsters on level five, if this is spread out in the future, it could shock all the ordinary players!” Lu Xun thought to himself.
The players who come here to fight in the dungeon in the future could hear his tales the most!
Lu Xun looked up at the chain overhead, which was shaking violently, indicating that the imprisoned Ghost King had been pricked again.
Its Ghost Qi was forcibly stripped away and then transformed into two elite-grade Ghosts.
Of course, the previous residual Ghost Qi was also absorbed back by it, which could actually be recycled and perfectly used…
The two elite-grade Ghosts were formed and then attacked Lu Xun with a somewhat dull expression on their faces.
“What the heck! Ghost version of ‘Attack on Titan’?” Lu Xun sneered in his heart, and while quickly retreating, he quickly formed his arrays.
There was one more fatal point in this level, that is, the consumption of Spiritual Power!
Like Ye Sui’an and Xiao Ran, both are the proud children of heaven, killing monsters beyond their level is a routine operation.
However, the consumption of Spiritual Power must be huge.
After all, the stronger the means, the greater the consumption of Spiritual Power.
It’s understandable that using ultimate moves consume a lot of mana!
But this level doesn’t give people time to rest and recover, it’s basically a seamless connection.
This is not a matter of strength anymore, having enough mana is a big issue!
Fortunately, Lu Xun didn’t have much trouble in this aspect. If others’ mana bar was the thickness of a finger, his was as wide as a palm.
There’s absolutely no cause for concern!
The sword array was continuously bombarding, he had no plan to save any mana.
The Snake Elder outside the instance changed from shock, to doubt, then to being stupefied.
Why is this lad’s spiritual power so profound?
An average “Five Elements Cultivation Method” is the most inferior technique, the intensity of its spiritual power can’t possibly be as such!
Like at this moment, clearly the two ghosts couldn’t even come close to touching him, yet he was still operating his ink-coloured flow the whole time!
“Is he afraid of death or pain?” the Snake Elder was somewhat speechless.
“Don’t even think about scratching my smooth skin.” Lu Xun kept operating Pink Ink while muttering in his heart.
Fighting one against two, the rate at which their health was decreasing was indeed slow!
“Crackle!”
A ghost actually broke through the sword array and made contact with Lu Xun’s ink shield.
“Can’t do it simultaneously anymore, better to eliminate one first!” thought Lu Xun in his heart.
He still hadn’t used his killer move yet!
He multitasked, restraining the ghost on the left while infusing his Sword Intent into the Five Elements Formation!
The Five Elements released at once!
The ghost on the left’s health bar rapidly dropped!
However, at the same time, the ghost on the left was frequently hitting his ink shield.
Finally…
“Done!” Lu Xun was overjoyed.
However, the next moment, he watched with his own eyes as the scattered Ghost Qi was absorbed by the other ghost on the left!
What…What in the world was this?!
“Bloody hell! Ghost King up there, are you alright? Did you get knocked out?!”
“Aren’t you going to absorb this delicious Ghost Qi?”
“Hurry up and snatch it from him!”
“Damn it! At least taste it!”
For some reason, the imprisoned Ghost King up on the platform wasn’t moving at all, allowing all of the Ghost Qi to be absorbed by the remaining elite ghost.
It’s body directly grew by a circle, its imposing manner was completely different from before.
When Lu Xun probed its general information again, everything was a question mark.
The health bar was also marked with a question mark!
“Heavenly Dust” setup stated that unless it’s health bar drops below 20%, the specific value won’t be shown.
Theoretically, those below level 5 can all be probed, so it must have upgraded a level or two!
“Are you messing with me?”
“Can’t you handle it?”
Lu Xun once lamented the same in Turtle’s Longevity.
“All I want is to clear a dungeon, not your impolite place. Do you have to be so drastic?”
Those stupid players are all useless!
“Ghost’s Grief” is an instance below level 30, those exceeding the level can’t enter.
No one ever cleared the last stage, so Lu Xun couldn’t find any related information on the forum, he didn’t expect that the ghost could do such a flashy operation!
However, it’s natural, even the world protagonists like Ye Sui’an and Xiao Ran couldn’t clear it, it’s understandable that the players couldn’t either.
Lu Xun fully operated the Pink Ink.
Ancient Five Elements Sword Formation, Sword Intent, Ink Shield…He deployed all his skills.
Just when he was about to get defeated, the ghost’s health bar finally dropped to 20%!
“Thank goodness, for some reason, it didn’t recover to full health, the health I’ve dropped previously was not recovered.”
If it had recovered to full health, Lu Xun would have been desperate.
“Boom!” The raging black flow bombarded Lu Xun, although the ink shield protected him, he was still blown away!
He wasn’t too injured, just a bit embarrassed.
Lu Xun was blown away, very high, even higher than the platform suspended above.
So much so, he saw the Ghost King imprisoned on the platform!
