Chapter 88: Could it be that my, Li Mingwang’s, luck isn’t going to prosper this time?

As the blood color spread, the originally flourishing grand hall seemed to have a layer of hypocritical veil lifted, revealing its hideous and terrifying true face.

Substantial Ghost Qi shrouded every corner of the City Lord's mansion. The empty courtyard suddenly became filled with looming shadows, and eerie, rustling sounds rose and fell, as if countless wandering souls were lingering about.

In Qi Yuan's perception, the surrounding Yin Qi had reached the point of almost condensing into liquid. Apart from him and Bai Xirou, everyone in the mansion became unconscious under the influence of this mist, collapsing to the ground one after another.

Under the augmentation of the Formation, the aura on "City Lord" began to climb crazily, quickly reaching the level of the Soul Transformation Peak, and was even slightly stronger than an ordinary Soul Transformation Peak.

"Jie jie jie jie jie — —"

Seeing that Qi Yuan had been scared into standing frozen on the spot by his monstrous might, "City Lord" threw his head back and laughed wildly, saying loudly:

"Although this seat's Taiyin Ghost Body has not yet recovered to its Peak state, it is not something a junior in the Nascent Soul Realm like you can contend with. You must remember, the one who kills you is the Styx Sect Left Protector, Lu Jiuyuan!"

Before the laughter had even stopped, an untimely voice suddenly cut in.

"Old ghost, what did you say your name was? Lu Jiu something?"

"City Lord" was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied:

"Lu Jiuyuan."

Then, that voice sounded again:

"Lu what Yuan?"

"Lu Jiu…"

Halfway through, he realized what was happening and flew into a rage:

"Who are you? If you have the guts, stand out and talk to this seat!"

The next moment, a figure darted out from the pile of unconscious people, shouting loudly:

"Dao Child of Tai Xuan, your Subordinate has come to help you… Lu Jiuyuan, eat a basin of my boy's urine!"

Before the words had even finished, a large splash of pale yellow liquid was poured over his head, drenching Lu Jiuyuan from head to face.

Lu Jiuyuan felt a wave of stench hit his face. Once he realized what the liquid was, he was so disgusted that he trembled all over, jumping with rage:

"Damn bastard, this seat is going to tear you apart alive!"

As he spoke, the ghost mist surrounding his body boiled, instantly forcing away the boy's urine that had stained him.

Seeing that his carefully prepared boy's urine had no effect at all, Li Mingwang panicked slightly and hurriedly took out a second basin from his storage ring.

"You old ghost are quite formidable, take another basin of black dog blood!"

Immediately after, another large splash of foul-smelling dark red liquid was thrown toward the opponent.

…

Seeing Li Mingwang's spectacular performance, Qi Yuan, who had originally intended to take action directly, couldn't help but twitch his face and silently retreated a few steps, pulling Bai Xirou with him.

Bai Xirou's small mouth opened slightly, and she asked Qi Yuan with a tone of confusion:

"Junior Brother Qi, isn't that the Disciple from Taixuan Holy Land… What is he doing? Do boy's urine and black dog blood really have an effect?"

At this moment, Qi Yuan's face was a bit dark, and he said expressionlessly:

"If one were to deal with some low-strength Ghostly Creatures, these two things would have a slight restraining effect."

"But facing an old ghost at the Soul Transformation Peak, the only effect is to be able to taunt the opponent before death, so one can die with a bit more dignity…"

"You're courting death!"

On this side, Lu Jiuyuan naturally wouldn't fall into the same pit twice. He dodged slightly, easily avoiding the attack of the black dog blood, and then suddenly stretched out his palm, transforming it into a ghastly black giant claw, which whistled toward Li Mingwang.

A dignified Styx Sect Left Protector, having been drenched in boy's urine, could truly be counted as a great humiliation.

At this moment, his hatred for Li Mingwang had far exceeded that for the Dao Child of Tai Xuan.

"Stinking brat, if I don't peel your skin and break your bones, and chop you into ten thousand pieces this time, it will be hard to vent the hatred in my heart!"

The ghost claw with astonishing Evil Qi brought a force that tore through the air and grabbed down fiercely, reaching Li Mingwang in an instant.

Feeling the terrifying might carried by the ghost claw, Li Mingwang's legs couldn't help but go weak.

"Not good, this old ghost Lu is too terrifying. Could it be that my, Li Mingwang's, luck isn't going to prosper this time?"

Just at this moment, Qi Yuan, who had been watching the play from the side, finally moved. His figure flashed and he blocked in front of Li Mingwang, raising his fist to meet it.

Boom!

The violent and scorching Yang Qi instantly dissolved the ghost claw completely, and even cleared away the Ghost Qi in the entire grand hall.

"Innate Pure Yang Dao Body? How is this possible?!"

Seeing this scene, the smile that had just appeared on Lu Jiuyuan's face instantly froze, and he looked at Qi Yuan in utter shock.

He couldn't have dreamed that the Dao Child of Tai Xuan in front of him was actually an Innate Pure Yang Dao Body, and the most top-tier kind at that.

Compared to this, the Pure Yang aura that this kid revealed when killing his ghost servants just now was completely unworthy of mention, and didn't even reach one-thousandth of it.

In other words, this kid was simply using True Pretend to be a Pig to Eat the Tiger, attracting him to take the bait voluntarily!

Thinking of this, Lu Jiuyuan suddenly had an ominous premonition…

Qi Yuan naturally wouldn't give him a chance to think carefully. After smashing the ghost claw with one punch, he stepped out heavily, rushing in front of Lu Jiuyuan like a sharp arrow, and threw out another punch!

The Evil Qi contained within it made Lu Jiuyuan's expression change slightly. He immediately rose into the air, with Yin winds howling, and powerful Ghost Qi swept out, covering the sky and earth, condensing into chains of pitch-black.

Swish!

The chains containing extreme resentment intertwined and crisscrossed, strangling toward Qi Yuan.

Facing the Ghost Qi chains that were wrapping around him, covering the sky and earth, Qi Yuan's expression had no ripples. He did not dodge or avoid, but crashed directly into them.

Those chains formed by Ghost Qi had not even touched his body before they were disintegrated and annihilated by the scorching Yang Qi, disappearing without a trace.

The next instant, in Lu Jiuyuan's disbelieving eyes, Qi Yuan's right fist had already smashed through the blockade of chains, landing solidly on his chest.

Bang!

In the muffled groan, Lu Jiuyuan was like he had been hammered, his body flying backward for dozens of zhang, crashing heavily onto the ground, smashing a large pit into the hard blue brick floor of the hall.

Before he could climb up from the ground, Qi Yuan had already closed in, and another punch was thrown down…

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Watching that terrifying Soul Transformation Peak ghost cultivator being wantonly trampled like a toy by his own Dao Child, Li Mingwang couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, muttering to himself:

"My goodness… worthy of being the Dao Child, truly awesome!"

Then, he walked with small steps to Bai Xirou with a relaxed face, and asked sincerely:

"This Junior Sister, the concentration of Yin Qi here makes even me, a Golden Core Late Stage, feel a bit unable to take it. You are only in the Foundation Establishment Realm, how are you like nothing happened?"

Seeing that Qi Yuan had firmly suppressed Lu Jiuyuan, Bai Xirou breathed a sigh of relief.

Hearing the inquiry, she blinked gently and replied casually:

"Your Dao Child injected a large amount of Yang Qi into my body in advance, so I was not affected."

Injected Yang Qi?

After hearing this, Li Mingwang immediately showed an expression of "I understand," his tone full of respect:

"Junior… er no, Sister-in-law, this little brother's name is Li Mingwang. In the future, please say some good words for me in front of the Dao Child. This little brother will be eternally grateful…"
