140: A fate worse than death, battling the Ghost King of Yin Mountain

The Buddha Light dimmed; Jiang Yunfan knew the futuo pagoda was about to collapse. The Archaic Emperor Butterfly had not yet arrived, so he had to stall for time.

He began to curse Jiang Beixuan, "Jiang Beixuan, you murdered your father and mother, and wiped out the entire Jiang Family. You are worse than a beast!"

Jiang Beixuan stopped his attack.

"How did you know?"

"If you don't want others to know, don't do it. I am proficient in the Dao of deduction; I deduced it by calculating the Heavenly Dao. Father and your mother poured their hearts out to you, yet you killed them. You are worse than a beast."

Jiang Yurou quickly said, "Brother, you said he killed Father and destroyed the Jiang Family. Is that true?"

"What if it is!"

Jiang Beixuan was incredibly cold. "As long as I can become stronger, what does it matter if I murder my father and mother! The Demonic Path requires abandoning all familial ties. Soon, both of you siblings will also die."

Just as he was about to swing his blade, Jiang Yunfan quickly said, "Jiang Beixuan, you still owe me one hundred million spirit stones. If you don't return them, you will surely suffer heavenly retribution."

Jiang Beixuan stopped. He looked at Jiang Yunfan coldly, "You are Heavenly Secret Master."

Jiang Yunfan said, "That's right, I am Heavenly Secret Master. You made a heavenly dao oath back then. If you don't return my Spirit Stones, you will surely suffer heavenly retribution."

Jiang Beixuan said coldly, "You deliberately set me up, making me owe you one hundred million spirit stones."

"So what! If you die, those one hundred million spirit stones won't need to be repaid, and everything you have will belong to me."

He had already guessed that Jiang Yunfan was deliberately stalling for time. "You are intentionally delaying, do you think someone will come to save you? No one can save you. Prepare to die!"

Suddenly, a dangerous Aura enveloped him.

Spatial power cut towards him. He quickly swung his blade to block, but it was like a praying mantis trying to stop a chariot. The demonic blade in his hand broke, and he was cut in half by the spatial power.

The Archaic Emperor Butterfly arrived, carrying Jiang Yunfan's Physical Body.

Jiang Yunfan's Primordial Spirit entered his body, and the Sky Demon seized the opportunity to flee. Jiang Beixuan's host body was abandoned, and Jiang Yunfan used his Domain to imprison Jiang Beixuan's Primordial Spirit.

"Don't go, you can't go."

Jiang Beixuan roared hoarsely.

Jiang Yunfan grabbed Jiang Beixuan's Primordial Spirit. "Do you think you are very strong? You only gained powerful strength by relying on the Sky Demon. Once the Sky Demon leaves, you are nothing. You are just a pathetic worm."

"Still want to kill me? You don't have the ability."

Defeated by Jiang Yunfan time and time again, Jiang Beixuan completely despaired. "The winner is king, the loser is a bandit. Kill me!"

"Death would be too easy for you."

Jiang Yunfan's palm burned with Netherworld Ghost Fire. The Netherworld Ghost Fire incinerated Jiang Beixuan's Primordial Spirit.

Ah!

Jiang Beixuan let out a painful scream.

Li Qingluan couldn't bear to watch and spoke up for Jiang Beixuan, "You should just kill him, why torment him?"

Jiang Yunfan gave her a cold glance and unleashed his sharp tongue. "You 'Holy Mother', what kind of kindness are you showing? This guy murdered his father and mother, and wiped out his own Family. If such a beastly person were to simply die like this, wouldn't it be too easy for him?"

"I just want him to suffer a fate worse than death."

Jiang Yunfan placed Jiang Beixuan's Primordial Spirit into the futuo pagoda. He would never let him die easily.

He said to Jiang Yurou, "In the future, spend less time with such 'Holy Mothers'. 'He who lies with dogs rises with fleas.' If you stay with a 'Holy Mother' for too long, you will also become a 'Holy Mother'. I don't want you to become a 'Holy Mother', overflowing with kindness. When you encounter someone who deserves to die, you must never show mercy. Being merciful to enemies is being cruel to yourself."

Although Li Qingluan didn't know what 'Holy Mother' meant, she knew it wasn't a compliment. She angrily said, "Jiang Yunfan, your methods are so ruthless, how are you different from a Devil Head?"

Jiang Yurou couldn't stand it. She said angrily, "Senior Sister, how can you compare my brother to a Devil Head? If my brother hadn't acted in time, we would have already died by Jiang Beixuan's blade."

Jiang Yunfan said, "Enough, no need to waste words with this 'Holy Mother'. Let's go."

He pulled Jiang Yurou away, leaving Li Qingluan to fend for herself.

Li Qingluan stomped her foot in anger.

Jiang Yunfan did not leave the Ancient Ruins. Since he was already here, he planned to visit Yin Mountain. He intended to use the soul-snatching bell to devour all the ghost cultivators of Yin Mountain, and by then, the soul-snatching bell would surely transform into a peak grade spirit tool.

Soon, Jiang Yunfan brought Jiang Yurou to Yin Mountain.

"Brother, what is this place? It's so eerie!"

"This is Yin Mountain, home to countless ghost cultivators. Aren't you looking for experience? Practice on the ghost cultivators!"

Jiang Yunfan left Jiang Yurou alone and departed.

"Intruders into Yin Mountain shall die!"

A cold voice came.

A ghostly figure attacked Jiang Yunfan with extreme speed.

"So quickly, someone has come to be served."

Jiang Yunfan summoned the soul-snatching bell. With a ring, the ghost cultivator suffered an attack and let out a sharp scream, then was immediately devoured by the soul-snatching bell.

Searching like this was too time-consuming.

He mobilized the Qi and blood throughout his body, and a stream of Qi and blood shot into the sky, rapidly spreading and attracting all the nearby ghost cultivators.

Ghost King's Cave.

The Ghost King of Yin Mountain sensed the Qi and blood. "Such strong Qi and blood. Daring to intrude upon Yin Mountain, you shall not return."

He vanished instantly.

A large number of ghost cultivators were attracted and attacked Jiang Yunfan, intending to tear him apart and devour him.

Jiang Yunfan summoned the soul-snatching bell. As the Soul-snatching sound emanated, the ghost cultivators attacking him screamed, instantly becoming lambs to the slaughter. One by one, the ghost cultivators were devoured by the soul-snatching bell.

Ghost cultivators cultivate the Soul, and their Souls are several times stronger than Human Race cultivators of the same Realm.

A ghost cultivator at the Heavenly Human Peak Realm, enduring the pain brought by the Soul-snatching sound, escaped. His speed was so fast that he vanished in the blink of an eye.

"Trying to leave."

Jiang Yunfan's Divine Sense transformed into a sword and attacked the fleeing ghost cultivator.

The escaping ghost cultivator was instantly killed by a single sword strike.

Jiang Yunfan's Divine Sense detected the Ghost King of Yin Mountain.

"The big fish has arrived."

Although the Ghost King of Yin Mountain was a Nirvana Realm Great Expert, Jiang Yunfan was not afraid. He possessed the futuo pagoda, which restrained ghost cultivators, and with the heaven swallowing cauldron, the Ghost King of Yin Mountain would also die.

Once the soul-snatching bell devoured the Ghost King of Yin Mountain, the soul-snatching bell would almost certainly transform.

The Ghost King of Yin Mountain appeared, and a terrifying Aura of pressure bore down on Jiang Yunfan. His cold gaze fell upon Jiang Yunfan. "I didn't expect a Human Race cultivator at the Heaven and Man Realm to possess such strong Qi and blood. Since you've come, stay!"

He grabbed with his bare hand, and a terrifying magical power pulled Jiang Yunfan towards him.

A subtle smile played on Jiang Yunfan's lips.

Just as he approached the Ghost King of Yin Mountain, Jiang Yunfan summoned the futuo pagoda. A Buddha Light instantly struck the Ghost King of Yin Mountain, wounding him.

"A Buddhist Sacred Artifact."

The Ghost King of Yin Mountain's expression changed drastically, and then his eyes filled with killing intent.

Jiang Yunfan did not give him a chance to act. He held the judgment sword and activated it with his true essence. The judgment sword drew upon the power of thunder and lightning from heaven and earth. In an instant, ten thousand bolts of lightning struck towards the Ghost King of Yin Mountain.

The Ghost King of Yin Mountain gathered Yin Qi to form a barrier, blocking the lightning.

Even though lightning could restrain Yin Qi, it couldn't break through the barrier formed by the condensed Yin Qi for a while.
