181: Ghost clan, scene card raid (asking for monthly ticket)

“Not bad.”

It was only after dusk had gradually settled that Jiang Yuan emerged from the Gathering Star Array.

Seeing Shi Ji’s happy gaze fixed on him, Jiang Yuan also broke into a smile.

At this moment, he had successfully broken through to Xuan Xiao Late Stage strength.

Although Shi Ji and Nezha were still at Xuanxiao Middle Stage strength.

However, as long as Jiang Yuan resummoned them, they would also be at Xuan Xiao Late Stage strength.

“You broke through?”

Mu Qianshan also asked Jiang Yuan with some excitement.

He knew that Jiang Yuan was known as ‘invincible among peers’ in the academy.

Although he didn’t know how his strength would fare in the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield,

He was undoubtedly still at the top tier among his peers.

Especially now with the buffs from Nezha and Shi Ji, Mu Qianshan even wondered if he could achieve 'invincible among peers' level in the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield as well.

Of course, this referred to combat power.

If it was overall quality, Jiang Yuan could entirely claim to be invincible among peers just by relying on the Linglong Pagoda.

“Of course.”

Jiang Yuan smiled confidently, and Mu Qianshan also smiled.

“Does this mean we can strut around freely in the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield now?”

“I think I’m fine with that.”

Jiang Yuan smiled, raising an eyebrow at Mu Qianshan.

Mu Qianshan naturally understood Jiang Yuan’s meaning and felt a pang in his heart.

“Understood, understood, I need to break through quickly too.”

“I really don’t know how you cultivate, how is your breakthrough speed so fast?”

Mu Qianshan shook his head, somewhat annoyed: “I always feel like you’re cheating!”

“What, playing well means cheating?”

Jiang Yuan chuckled, then nodded at Shi Ji and the clearly excited Nezha before retracting them into their cards.

The next second, two blue cards shimmered in Jiang Yuan’s hand.

Shi Ji and Nezha, both at Xuan Xiao Late Stage strength, appeared before the two of them.

“Shi Ji, try to see what level your Undead Enslavement can reach now?” Jiang Yuan said, then re-materialized Shi Ji’s Tai’a Sword.

Jiang Yuan was quite curious; when he was at Xuanxiao Middle Stage strength, with the Tai’a Sword’s buff, the Undead Enslavement summoned by Shi Ji could reach Xuan Xiao Late Stage.

Now that Shi Ji’s strength had also reached Xuan Xiao Late Stage, could the Undead Enslavement she summoned reach the third realm, Zouzi?

“Alright.”

Shi Ji nodded, then, holding the Tai’a Sword, began to summon.

“It doesn’t seem to work.”

Shi Ji looked at the Re-Zero before her, still at Xuan Xiao Late Stage strength, and frowned slightly.

She had originally thought she would be able to summon Undead Enslavement with the strength of the third realm, Zouzi.

What a pity.

“Indeed, the strength breakthrough between major realms is still quite significant.”

Jiang Yuan also nodded slightly after seeing Re-Zero appear.

Strength breakthroughs between minor realms were still very easy.

But major realms were much harder.

It was like challenging someone above your level; many people could challenge someone a minor realm higher.

However, not many people could challenge someone a major realm higher, because the difficulty level was not the same.

“That’s fine too; it has already reached the peak strength of the Xuanxiao Stage.”

Jiang Yuan smiled: “I feel that with this dongtian secret treasure burst, your Undead Bone Sea will surely shock all races!”

Jiang Yuan’s smile was confident and flamboyant; even if the hundreds of thousands of peak Xuanxiao Stage Undead Bone Sea were relatively ordinary compared to the geniuses of other races, their sheer numbers would allow Shi Ji to control the entire battlefield.

Seeing Jiang Yuan like this, Shi Ji also smiled.

She truly liked seeing Jiang Yuan like this.

“Then let’s give all races the shock of the Undead Bone Sea.” Shi Ji’s lips curved slightly upwards, and she looked up at Jiang Yuan, smiling.

“Talking aside, what should we do now? Continue forward, or rest here for the night?”

Mu Qianshan saw the two of them like this, and although he didn’t want to interrupt, it was indeed very late.

It was time to make a decision.

“Let’s rest here for the night.”

Jiang Yuan reached out, wanting to stroke Shi Ji’s hair, but Shi Ji dodged him.

After pouting, Jiang Yuan turned to Mu Qianshan and said,

“It’s late now. At our current speed, it would still take a long time to reach The End Valley. It’s better to rest here for the night and continue in the morning.”

“Alright.”

Mu Qianshan nodded, then looked at Nezha flying freely in the sky.

After Jiang Yuan broke through to Xuan Xiao Late Stage, Nezha also broke through.

The moment Nezha, who had just reached Xuan Xiao Late Stage, was materialized by Jiang Yuan, he stepped on his Wind Fire Wheels and soared into the sky.

According to Nezha, he had unlocked a portion of his abilities and needed to adapt to them, trying them out in advance to see how they worked.

Looking at Nezha, who was wielding his Fire Tipped Spear so densely in the sky that no air could pass through, Jiang Yuan also smiled.

Opening his Backpack Card and taking out all the tents and daily necessities, they decided to spend the night there.

… …

… …

The night passed uneventfully, and the next morning, Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan woke up and continued their journey towards The End Valley.

Nezha walked at the very front, constantly attacking other races they encountered.

However, perhaps because the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield was too vast, they only encountered enemies a few times in total.

This was not the main battle zone.

The main battle zones were basically near the gathering places of various races and within small or large Ten Thousand Races Battlefields.

They advanced quickly, and by evening, they finally reached the vicinity of The End Valley.

“By the way, why is our luck so bad?”

“You should ask yourself, little red hand.”

Jiang Yuan rolled his eyes and said, while Nezha beside him was also huffing with annoyance.

He had spent so much effort eliminating enemies, but then you touch it and it’s trash, you touch it and it’s trash!

How could anyone accept that?

Although his luck was worse than Mu Qianshan’s, so what? He hadn’t even touched anything!

Nezha: Self-righteous.jpg

“That should be The End Valley ahead.”

“Yes.”

Mu Qianshan looked at the map, compared it, and then nodded at Jiang Yuan.

The End Valley was a canyon between two large mountains.

There was a winding small river in The End Valley, which could be mainly divided into three parts.

Moon Shadow Spring at the end of the small river, the Golden Plain below Moon Shadow Spring, and finally, the Dark Forest at the entrance of The End Valley.

The three stages of terrain were connected by the winding small river, with Moon Shadow Spring as the end point.

And that was also where the battles among all races were most intense.

“Let’s go, let’s enter.”

Arriving at the entrance of the Dark Forest, Jiang Yuan said, and then entered the Dark Forest with Nezha and Shi Ji.

Mu Qianshan followed closely behind, also entering.

Trees towered, branches and leaves were luxuriant, obscuring the sky and sun.

Because it rarely saw sunlight year-round, the ground was covered with thick fallen leaves, rustling underfoot.

Occasionally, a cool breeze would blow, and the leaves would sway, emitting eerie hissing sounds, further adding to the strange atmosphere of the Dark Forest.

However, neither Jiang Yuan nor Nezha were very afraid of this atmosphere and continued to walk forward calmly.

“I wonder if the Ghost Spirit Race will be waiting here to ambush us.”

Mu Qianshan followed beside Jiang Yuan and Shi Ji, smiling as he joked with the two of them.

“Don’t jinx it!”

Jiang Yuan’s heart skipped a beat, and the next second he sensed a change.

Whether it was the Unicorn Dark Smoke Beast beneath him or Shi Ji, who was also riding on the Unicorn Dark Smoke Beast.

Including Nezha and Mu Qianshan beside him, all had disappeared.

Jiang Yuan thus appeared in a space shrouded in white mist.

The space was empty, and Jiang Yuan sighed helplessly at the sight.

“Mu Qianshan, that jinx!”

After Jiang Yuan shook his head helplessly, the Linglong Pagoda enveloped his entire being.

This space was undoubtedly the card ability of the Ghost Spirit Race.

Compared to the Human Race, the Ghost Spirit Race was more adept at scene cards.

Apparently, this card that suddenly made Jiang Yuan appear alone here was a scene card.

He just didn’t know if this scene card was a trap card, similar to a ghost-wall, or an offensive card.

But it didn’t matter, once Nezha outside eliminated the opponent, this card would automatically be dispelled.

The Ghost Spirit Race’s cards were still somewhat different from the Human Race’s cards.

The Ghost Spirit Race’s cards basically automatically dispelled after the user died.

Unlike some Human Race scene cards, which would continue even after the user died.

Jiang Yuan calmly hid inside the Linglong Pagoda, while outside, Nezha and the others also noticed Jiang Yuan’s sudden disappearance.

“Don’t panic, this is a scene card from the Ghost Spirit Race! As long as the Ghost Spirit Race is eliminated, Jiang Yuan will reappear!”

Mu Qianshan quickly shouted, but his voice gradually blurred and disappeared.

Clearly, he too was affected by the Ghost Spirit Race’s scene card and was trapped within it.

“Ghost Spirit Race!”

Nezha sneered, his Huntian Ribbon fluttering up and down with his movements, and Samadhi True Fire also rose, illuminating their surroundings like daylight.

The next second, Nezha was also dragged into the scene card.

Looking at the hundreds of thousands of grotesque ghosts before him, Nezha also laughed.

“Do you really think this alone can trap me?”

Nezha laughed, wielding his Fire Tipped Spear; each sweep unleashed a large burst of Samadhi True Fire.

The Fire Tipped Spear’s [Demon Subduing and Devil Vanquishing] skill increased damage against monster-type enemies.

This caused each swing of the Fire Tipped Spear to take out a large number of ghosts.

In just a moment, Nezha had eliminated all the ghosts in the scene.

The scene card was broken, and Nezha opened his eyes to look at Shi Ji beside him.

Seeing Shi Ji’s appearance, Nezha also smiled.

“I didn’t expect you to break the scene card faster than me.”

“Let’s find the opponent first.”

Shi Ji nodded slightly; was the scene in her scene card an Undead?

How should she put it? It was quite magical anyway.

That’s why Shi Ji was able to quickly break the scene card’s limitations.

Not to mention the Undead Enslavement and Bone Spirit she summoned, even her own skills were enough to eliminate that Undead.

Invincible among peers didn’t just refer to Jiang Yuan.

“Break!”

Following a furious roar, Mu Qianshan reappeared on the field.

“Mere Ghost Spirit Race, hiding your heads and showing your tails!”

Mu Qianshan’s killing intent burst forth, purple lightning flashed on his Zifu Sword, continuously striking all around.

In just a moment, he forced out several Ghost Spirit Race members hidden in the forest.

“I didn’t expect you to be able to break the scene card’s limitations so easily!”

The Ghost Spirit Race looked like ghosts, clad in grey cloaks, moving entirely by floating forward, without feet and with no visible faces.

“Hiding your heads and showing your tails!”

Nezha scoffed, and his Wind Fire Wheels accelerated, charging towards the five newly appeared Ghost Spirit Race members.

The leading Ghost Spirit Race member was expressionless, though it was indeed impossible to tell.

But as a blue card in his hand shimmered, a shield guardian controlled by grey translucent threads appeared before Nezha.

Although it was unknown which race the shield guardian belonged to, compared to the Undead, the Ghost Spirit Race’s manipulation of souls was more akin to puppetry.

One Ghost Spirit Race member controlled the shield guardian to block Nezha’s attacks, while the other four Ghost Spirit Race members launched attacks against Nezha and Shi Ji.

Four blue quality cards flashed, but the next second, Nezha’s Fire Tipped Spear and Qiankun Circle eliminated two of them.

Mu Qianshan had also broken through to the side of a Ghost Spirit Race member and began to battle a Ghost Spirit Race member who had materialized a scythe from a blue card.

Five Xuan Xiao Late Stage Ghost Spirit Race members were eliminated by Nezha the moment they engaged with him.

Nezha’s Fire Tipped Spear, with a level thrust, eliminated the shield guardian controlled by the Ghost Spirit Race, then pointed directly at the Ghost Spirit Race’s main body.

The Ghost Spirit Race was greatly alarmed; they clearly understood that they had provoked someone they shouldn’t have.

“Retreat!”

The Ghost Spirit Race member who had just controlled the shield guardian roared in a hoarse voice, and the next second, his figure gradually blurred until it became transparent.

However, Nezha, expressionless, swept his spear horizontally, directly sending the just-hidden Ghost Spirit Race flying.

“Whoosh!”

The Fire Tipped Spear was thrown out, and the Ghost Spirit Race member who had just been swept away was instantly impaled and killed.

Their defensive equipment was directly shattered.

It was because their defensive equipment relied on the defensive effects of skills, not the inherent defensive strength of the body.

The Fire Tipped Spear was very effective against this type of defensive equipment that relied on defensive effects.

Shi Ji did not make a move throughout, and on the other side, a Ghost Spirit Race member holding a staff was also bound by the Huntian Ribbon, unable to become invisible at all.

Although Mu Qianshan faced the Xuan Xiao Late Stage Ghost Spirit Race with some difficulty, with the [Righteous Law] skill of his Zifu Sword, Mu Qianshan was still able to barely hold his own.

In just a moment, Nezha had dealt with the Ghost Spirit Race member who had just been bound by the Huntian Ribbon.

The battle on Mu Qianshan’s side was also nearing its end.

Relying on the exquisite [Xuan Ting Swordplay], Mu Qianshan had also shattered the defensive equipment of the last remaining Ghost Spirit Race member.
