Chapter 571: Chapter 0566: Four Jade Soul Bead

In the Soul Nourishing Hall, a battle between two groups was about to erupt.

The man in black, also known as Senior Brother Wang and Lin Xiaofang’s avenger, was motivated firstly by revenge for Lin Xiaofang and secondly by coveting the “treasured artifact” in the hands of the ferocious man.

Furthermore, Chen Yu also possessed several precious materials in his possession; he could not let Chen Yu leave just like that.

Therefore, keeping Chen Yu here to deal with the ferocious man and resolving Chen Yu’s case after their enemies had been eliminated would not be too late.

The ferocious man from the Sky Wolf Realm, “Yan Gao,” however, had no patience for idle talk and decided to massacre these people.

The ruling power of the Sky Wolf Realm was known as the Sky Wolf Hall, where Yan Gao was an Inner Sect Disciple, equivalent to the Golden Emblem Holy Guard of the Kunyun Sacred Land.

Moreover, he was the foremost among the Inner Sect Disciples!

In the Sky Wolf Hall, aside from the True Disciples, other disciples steered clear of him out of fear.

“Ye Luo Palm!”

Yan Gao executed an advanced combat technique; his palm strikes increased in speed and became even more profound and unstoppable.

It turned out that facing Lin Xiaofang and Chen Yu, who was at the Peak of the Middle Stage of the Guiyuan Realm, Yan Gao had not yet employed his full strength.

Senior Brother Wang wielded a copper mace, which emitted a golden light shadow as he swung it.

Boom!

The black, overpowering palm aura was irresistible, tearing everything apart.

During the clash, Senior Brother Wang and his two companions were immediately repelled by Yan Gao and the tall woman.

Naturally, this was under the condition that Chen Yu was not fighting with all his might.

“Is this person’s strength really so formidable?”

Senior Brother Wang thought to himself in surprise.

Kunyun Realm, Chi Hong Realm, and Sky Wolf Realm rarely interacted on normal days, practically never, hence there was a lack of information about each other.

Had Senior Brother Wang known the precise details about Yan Gao, he wouldn’t have so boldly initiated combat with him.

At that moment, Lin Xiaofang, who had been knocked unconscious, was startled awake by the battle raging in the Soul Nourishing Hall and regained a trace of consciousness.

“Senior Brother Wang, avenge me.”

The moment she saw Senior Brother Wang, she squeezed these few words out through her clenched teeth.

Lin Xiaofang guessed that had Senior Brother Wang not arrived in time, she might have already been killed by Yan Gao, hence her hatred towards Yan Gao was intense.

Seeing his beloved speak such words, Senior Brother Wang naturally could not back down.

“Take down these two.”

Senior Brother Wang immediately commanded, his copper mace radiating a dazzling light.

With one sweep, a massive golden light shadow swept downwards, striking at the tall woman.

This woman’s strength was relatively weaker; if they could defeat her, their chances of victory would be much greater.

Thus, he left Yan Gao to Chen Yu and the middle-aged man with short hair to handle.

From this, it was clear that Senior Brother Wang intended to put Chen Yu in danger, obviously harboring no good intentions.

However, this was exactly what Chen Yu needed; soon, he would pretend to be overpowered and then seize the opportunity to escape.

But Yan Gao, unconcerned, decided to first kill Chen Yu and the middle-aged man with short hair.

“Brother, be careful, this man is too strong.”

The middle-aged man with short hair warned Chen Yu, but in fact, he had colluded with Senior Brother Wang, constantly giving way and dodging, forcing Chen Yu to take the lead.

Boom!

Chen Yu deliberately allowed Yan Gao’s attack to hit him, then he flew backwards.

In fact, Yan Gao’s attack had only caused Chen Yu light injuries, which healed in an instant.

To make it appear realistic, Chen Yu was forced to harm himself, drawing a mouthful of fresh blood and spitting it out.

The middle-aged man with short hair didn’t expect Chen Yu to be so careless, and seeing him severely injured by Yan Gao’s attack, felt his pressure greatly increase and kept retreating.

Meanwhile, although Senior Brother Wang was suppressing the tall woman, it was still difficult to severely injure her in a short amount of time.

“We can retreat now.”

Chen Yu’s expression subtly changed.

Although Senior Brother Wang and Yan Gao were still keeping an eye on him, their main focus was on the battle.

However, just as Chen Yu was about to act,

Roar!

A howl, as if from Hell itself, echoed, carrying with it a wave of angry Evil Qi, making the entire Soul Nourishing Hall tremble.

In the next moment, a wave of Evil Qi and cold wind swept in, within which a dark shadow emerged.

“You… all must die…” the shadow issued a chilling, eerie voice.

This shadow, closely resembling a normal human, had a pale complexion and blood-red eyes, floating in the void and emitting an immensely strong, cold, and evil aura.

“A ghost this powerful.”

Chen Yu observed intently.

The ghost felt even more powerful than Yan Gao.

But in an instant, Chen Yu’s gaze landed on a string of beads in the ghost’s hand.

The string held four beads, each of different colors, emitting a faint ghostly light.

Due to the ghost’s tattered black clothes, the beads were particularly conspicuous.

Chen Yu’s Spiritual Sense scanned them, and sensing a powerful force within, was instantly repelled, shaking his mind.

Clearly, this was no ordinary treasure.

“Four Jade Soul Bead!”

It was Yan Gao who exclaimed the name of the beads, his eyes blazing with madness.

Previously, he didn’t show this expression even when he saw the Cold Soul Stone, Ghost Grass, or Moisturizing Yin Flower.

Seeing Yan Gao’s reaction, Senior Brother Wang also understood that the item the ghost was holding was definitely a treasure.

Boom!

Before anyone could react, the ghost lunged at the prone Lin Xiaofang.

“No…”

Lin Xiaofang was healing her wounds, utterly unprepared for the ghost to strike at her.

Hiss!

The ghost’s nails, three inches long, struck fiercely, and five dark ghost claws swept past, leaving five trench-like slashes on Lin Xiaofang’s body.

Lin Xiaofang, powerless to resist, died instantly.

Chen Yu recoiled the moment he witnessed the scene.

“No… Xiao Fang…”

Senior Brother Wang was stunned and let out a cry, but it was useless.

Swoosh!

After killing Lin Xiaofang, the Evil Ghost rushed towards Yan Gao and Senior Brother Wang, among others.

It launched its claws together, and dozens of dark claw marks spread forward like a black iron net.

Ding ding pong!

Yan Gao, Senior Brother Wang, and two others reacted simultaneously, neutralizing the attack.

However, at that moment, another seven or eight Evil Ghosts arrived, seemingly attracted by the formidable one. They looked at the beaded Evil Ghost with a mixture of fear and respect.

In an instant, the entire Soul Nourishing Hall became dark and eerie, filled with a chilling Evil Qi soaring into the sky.

“Everyone, how about we cease fire for the time being?”

The tall woman took the initiative to speak.

Relying solely on him and Yan Gao, they couldn’t handle the present foes.

“Humph, don’t even think about it!” Senior Brother Wang, in a fit of rage, immediately refused.

“Hehe, your beloved was killed by him. Don’t you want to join us and take down this Evil Ghost for revenge?”

The tall woman chuckled and added, “Besides, the ‘Four Jade Soul Bead’ in this Evil Ghost’s hand is a Soul Path Spiritual Artifact, at least of medium grade!”

Soul Path Spiritual Artifacts were precious, and the Four Jade Soul Bead was no exception.

The two from Tianhong Realm were instantly tempted, and even Chen Yu, who was on the verge of retreating, stayed put.

Being naturally weaker in soul strength, obtaining the Four Jade Soul Bead would be best for him.

“Fine, I am determined to slay this ghost for Xiao Fang’s sake.”

Senior Brother Wang seemed to heed the tall woman’s advice, though it was for his own benefit.

“Kill… kill them all…”

“You all deserve to die!”

The Evil Ghosts roared fiercely, attacking everyone.

“Long Hair Man, you and I will handle this Evil Ghost. You three, go and kill the rest.”

Senior Brother Wang took the lead.

Long Hair Man?

Yan Gao twitched at the nickname but didn’t fuss over it since he needed to cooperate with the people from Chi Hong Realm to slay the ghost and seize the Four Jade Soul Bead.

Chen Yu, without saying much, rejoined the fray alongside the tall woman and the middle-aged man with short hair to fight the other ghosts.

Obviously, Chen Yu still pretended to be severely injured, showing much weaker combat strength.

His motive was to keep the others from focusing on him, given that Chi Hong Realm and Sky Wolf Realm both had two representatives and he was alone. Snatching the Four Jade Soul Bead would still be difficult.

Boom pong!

The Soul Nourishing Hall was filled with explosions.

Yan Gao and the man in black fought together against the strongest ghost, yet they held no advantage.

The ghost was better at psychic attacks, slapping its claws together and sending numerous white ghost fires towards them.

Senior Brother Wang happened to know a psychic secret technique and formed a psychic shield over his soul by focusing his spiritual power.

Yan Gao, despite his high cultivation and strength, lacked such skills and could only dodge or brace himself.

“This guy is tough!”

Senior Brother Wang furrowed his brow.

Dealing with the ghost, methods such as lightning or the most rigid yang techniques could suppress it, but neither he nor Yan Gao possessed such skills.

As for psychic methods, they were the ghost’s strength and couldn’t be exploited.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Chen Yu, the middle-aged man with short hair, and the tall woman, dealt with their foes more effortlessly and safely.

“You guys, quickly finish off the other ghosts,” Senior Brother Wang shouted.

The tall woman, also receiving signals from Yan Gao, showed stronger combat ability than before.

“That won’t do.”

Chen Yu thought inwardly.

The duos from Chi Hong Realm and Sky Wolf Realm were strong, especially Yan Gao from Sky Wolf Realm, who even Chen Yu found tough to handle.

They had to be further weakened before Chen Yu had a chance.

Consequently, within his “injuries,” Chen Yu’s combat strength diminished further as another ghost wounded him.

He immediately dodged and moved next to the short-haired middle-aged man, saying, “Save me.”

Seeing Chen Yu lead two ghosts towards him, the middle-aged man’s expression changed drastically, preparing to curse Chen Yu. However, they had just mentioned that Chen Yu was Lin Xiaofang’s teammate, making him their ally.

If he cursed and Chen Yu ran away with the precious materials he had gained, it would be problematic.

“Damn it!”

The middle-aged man clenched his teeth in silence.

He quickly fell into a disadvantage and even sustained injuries from the ghost.

He immediately slapped his pet bag, releasing a black tiger Spirit Pet covered in diamond iron skin, possessing the strength at the Peak of Middle Stage Guiyuan Realm.

This was his trump card, which he hadn’t expected to use so early during the journey to the Blood Star Realm.

With the black tiger joining the fight, the pressure on the middle-aged man eased somewhat.

“Thanks!”

Chen Yu smiled and, bearing his wounds, plunged back into the fight alongside the black tiger.

However, it wasn’t long before the middle-aged man heard the angry roar of the black tiger.

It turned out that, while working together, Chen Yu often interfered with and affected the black tiger, making it hard for the tiger to exert full strength and even sometimes having to shield Chen Yu.

Naturally, the black tiger was furious but couldn’t speak human language and had to swallow its grievances.

On the other side.

The strongest ghost unleashed a soul shockwave from its body, swirling around and pushing Senior Brother Wang and Yan Gao back.

Simultaneously, the ghost opened its mouth to howl, emitting a wailing roar carrying a vast wave of chilling Evil Qi, creating a tempest.

Senior Brother Wang and Yan Gao looked rather distressed, their psychic consciousness slightly damaged.

“Why aren’t you guys quick enough!” Senior Brother Wang couldn’t help but shout loudly.
