17: Kill the Styx Ghost

Of course.

Besides what just happened, Lin Sheng himself extremely disliked this old man.

Firstly, he didn't keep his promises; secondly, he loved to slaughter the common people indiscriminately; thirdly, he loved to rob wealth and beauty... More importantly, this old man was Ye Liufeng's "black hand", Ye Liufeng's foil and helper.

Killing him was equivalent to severing one of Ye Liufeng's arms!

"You want to stop me?"

The Minghe Old Ghost looked at Lin Sheng.

His tone was relaxed and casual, as if he didn't put him in his eyes at all.

That was indeed the case. The Minghe Old Ghost's most boastful achievement was his battle with the Hundred Birds Dynasty's strongest expert, Sword Saint Changhong, five years ago.

In that battle, with his Supreme Sixth Layer cultivation, he nearly defeated the Supreme Seventh Layer Sword Saint Changhong.

This became the capital for his arrogance.

"No, this Holy Son wants to kill you."

Lin Sheng brought the two fingers of his right hand together in front of him, calling out in his heart: 'Beast, come!'

As spiritual power surged, layers of golden light erupted from all around him, unfolding into a golden light screen several hundred meters wide and tall behind him in just an instant!

Immediately after.

Accompanied by a high-pitched dragon roar that shook the entire city, a hundred-meter giant dragon, golden and bright, burning with brilliant golden flames all over its body, rapidly solidified within this golden screen!

Having cultivated the core technique, the Yu Beast Art, beast taming and combat was naturally his primary fighting method.

This giant dragon burning with golden flames was the Sheng Long'er he had summoned—this was her true form, a Golden Flame Holy Dragon with true dragon bloodline!

The hundred-meter golden dragon coiled and circled around Lin Sheng, its dragon roars echoing through the clouds.

"It would have been fine if you had hidden in the Underworld River."

Lin Sheng took a step forward, standing on the head of the Golden Flame Holy Dragon, and declared his death to the Minghe Old Ghost from above: "But you actually came before this Holy Son, not knowing life from death."

"Truly not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth!"

"I don't know the immensity of heaven and earth?"

Seeing this stance, the Minghe Old Ghost was instead angered into laughter: "Hahaha, how funny! Who has the lower cultivation, you wouldn't not..."

Before he could finish speaking.

He saw the huge golden dragon opposite him, wrapped in monstrous golden flames, roaring and charging towards him with astonishing speed.

"You..."

The Minghe Old Ghost glared angrily, but there was no time to say more. He could only subconsciously shift and move, flashing a thousand meters away.

He was thinking that the other party was so lacking in martial ethics and was about to curse when.

The Golden Dragon Holy Son's glowing figure, with golden flames burning in his eyes, flashed before him with an extremely overbearing momentum!

What!!

The other party had actually reacted and followed!??

Just as these two thoughts flashed through the Minghe Old Ghost's mind, the other party's fist had already heavily struck his face!

Swoosh—Boom!!

It was as if a meteor had instantly streaked across the sky and plunged into the wild mountain outside the imperial city.

An earth-shattering sound erupted from the wild mountain outside the city.

Afterward, the people in the city heard dull 'rumbling' sounds. Some cultivators flew into the sky to see, their faces showing terror.

"The mountain has collapsed!"

"Run! Supreme experts are fighting!!"

"Run? Where can we run to? Running to the desolate mountains might get us caught in the battle. The city is the safest place now!"

"The Holy Son is still good; he didn't fight the Minghe Old Ghost in the city, otherwise who knows how many innocent people would have died."

"I hope the Holy Son can kill the Minghe Old Ghost and eliminate this great scourge for us common people!"

"......"

Outside the city.

Lin Sheng, who had succeeded in one strike, did not stop.

His powerful divine sense instantly located the Minghe Old Ghost. With a wave of his hand, the Golden Flame Holy Dragon beside him let out a high roar and charged into the mountain, incinerating everything with its high-temperature golden flames.

Swish!

The Minghe Old Ghost, whose brain was still muddled, dared not rest for a moment and immediately flashed out of the pile of rocks.

His sinister gaze fixed on Lin Sheng, his eyes filled with furious flames: "Little brat! You actually ambushed this old man!"

He had uttered harsh words, but the Minghe Old Ghost was secretly still afraid.

This Holy Son was truly not to be trifled with. That punch just now almost really killed him!

It seemed this guy must have some special physique, otherwise his physical strength couldn't be so heaven-defying!

Absolutely cannot fight him in close combat!

Lin Sheng opposite him was originally too lazy to answer.

But noticing the cultivators secretly watching from the distant sky were whispering and exchanging glances, and thinking that news in this world spread very quickly, he still drove the golden dragon to chase him while calmly replying: "Ambush? What a joke. I attacked openly in front of you. How is that an ambush?"

"Do I have to wait for you to finish speaking before fighting?"

"If so, wouldn't you be invincible as long as you keep talking?"

Before he even finished speaking.

He saw the Minghe Old Ghost in the distant sky, who was dodging frantically like a drunk person, had been caught by the Golden Flame Holy Dragon. The latter carried him, and the monstrous golden flames, like a sea of fire, passed through his body!

At this moment!

Perhaps the feeling of impending death caused the Minghe Old Ghost to have a brief moment of lucidity.

He suddenly used all his strength to push away all the flames on his body, and with a suicidal momentum, he spread his arms and roared towards the sky: "Netherworld Ghost Domain!"

......

In the void, a slender, jade-like finger gently tapped.

......

Heaven and earth remained unchanged, everything was as usual.

When the Golden Flame Holy Dragon turned back and pierced through him again from behind, the Minghe Old Ghost, whose entire body was completely ignited by golden flames, let out his last two screams in this world.

"Ahhhhh—!!"

"I refuse to accept this—!"

The Minghe Old Ghost's body was completely burned to ashes by the golden flames, not even bone dust remained.

Huh?

He's dead just like that?

The other cultivators secretly watching in the distance were stunned for a moment, looking at each other.

Lin Sheng was also stunned for a moment, but the reason for his daze was different from theirs.

The Minghe Old Ghost's spell didn't work?

It failed?

He remembered this move, "Netherworld Ghost Domain."

It was an evil formation that could change a large area into a ghost domain, absorb the essence and blood of all living beings within the formation area to restore one's own vitality, and turn corpses into ghost soldiers.

He had a way to deal with this move, but he didn't expect the other party to die before even using it.

However, Lin Sheng wasn't surprised at all by the time it took to defeat the Minghe Old Ghost.

He himself possessed both the "Demon God Holy Body" and the "Demon God Bloodline."

One gave him heaven-defying physical strength a hundred times that of those at the same level, and the other gave him a massive amount of spiritual power a hundred times that of those at the same level. If his realm were a bit higher, he would have been confident in blowing up the Minghe Old Ghost with a single punch.

This amount of time was nothing.

The Golden Flame Holy Dragon had already flown back to his side, transmitting a spiritual message to him: "Master, when you summoned me, the dragon pattern immortal incense was about to burn out. Don't forget the bet with the Saintess."

"Okay, the matter here will be resolved in at most half a quarter of an hour."

"Okay, Long Er will wait for Master to return~"

The hundred-meter golden dragon was circling beside him one second, and the next second it had disappeared.

Lin Sheng raised his eyes and scanned his surroundings.

He found that the cultivators who had been watching around had all disappeared, and he understood in his heart.

'It seems they are spies planted by the major forces in each continent.'

These people cannot be underestimated. The original work explicitly stated that some of them had realms so high that they even dared to watch battles between Immortals.
