Chapter 532: Fighting the Ghosts

The lightning strikes and the rumbling thunder was making the ghosts who were observing the fight frightened.

There was never thunder or lightning in the Ghost Realm, but the sheer aura of this martial technique that Xue Wei used, combined with the Lightning Elemental Qi, made them all feel their souls trembling in fright.

The ghost that Xue Wei was up against also sensed the danger. While he was unable to escape the first lightning bolt, he still managed to retreat from the second, and the third only caused him slight injuries when compared to the first that hit him accurately.

Although Xue Wei had managed to catch the ghost unprepared, and in turn, caused him some severe damage, the ghost was not at a point where his soul would shatter.

He was injured, and his body began to release something that looked like steam, but any ghost who saw this scene would be shocked. What was slowly rising from this ghost's body was not steam, but his spirit power.

It was the energy that gave him his strength, and the more that evaporated, the weaker he would become.

This was not something he had done voluntarily. The energy which was escaping him was caused by the lightning that was running rampant in his body, and he could not stop it before he extinguished the streak of energy which was so brazen.

Knowing that his energy was evaporating little by little, the ghost's eyes were full of murderous intent, his teeth were clenched so tightly that they almost shattered, and his hands gathered energy in his palm.

This ghost was so enraged that he had lost his mind. He had forgotten that their boss had told them just to capture him; all that he could think of was to kill him and absorb his energy to make up for what he had lost.

Xue Wei naturally noticed the gleam of cruelty in his eyes, and he could not help but turn serious. While the ghost was enraged and had lost all reason, he was still dangerous; in fact, his attacks would be much more dangerous now, as he would be reckless.

To deal with him, Xue Wei needed to be calm and collected, and abuse the lack of thoughts that the other had.

Currently, Lan was fighting against the other ghost, while Xue Wei was facing off against the one he had struck with lightning.

But neither Lan nor Xue Wei could afford to put all their attention on their target, as a third ghost was standing not far away, leaning against a wall. His arms were crossed over his chest, and his eyes were brewing with interest.

He was a typical ghost, and while he had made a group alongside these other two, he had no interest in looking after them. If their souls shattered, then he would not mourn them. Instead, he would consume their energy.

The only reason he had not acted yet was due to the thunder and lightning that Xue Wei had summoned before.

He was aware that he could withstand it, but he also knew that to do so, he would have to pay a rather hefty price.

Not to mention, he did not know how often this mysterious person, Xue Wei, could summon it.

If he summoned it multiple times, he was aware that his foundations would be damaged. This was not something he was willing to see, so his plan was simple.

He wanted to use these two ghosts as cannon-fodder. Make them use up their bodies to tire out Xue Wei and this curious little dragon, and then capture them when they were exhausted.

He had not forgotten that he had to capture them alive. While he was tempted to take the secret of these two for himself, he understood his strength.

By acting on Xue Wei, he would not only have the bosses' revenge to consider, but he also had to remember that this man had a good relationship with the Whispering Inn branch leader.

Leaving the regional capital would be impossible if he drew the hatred of these two groups.

While he was thinking of his plans, he found that while Xue Wei was being pushed back, the little dragon-like creature was like a fish in water.

It seemed to have an equal strength to a King Rank cultivator, and he was not troubled to deal with the ghost in front of him. Even so, he was not rushing to assist Xue Wei, which caused the ghost to frown.

Xue Wei was aware that Lan had handled his ghost easily, and he breathed a sigh of relief. This meant that he would take care of the third ghost, should he engage in the battle, and that he could focus entirely on the battle against this ghost in front of him.

The strength of this ghost was overwhelming, and each punch made the wind whistle and the space tremble.

Xue Wei used the Forbidden Rush movement technique to narrowly escape the attacks, but even so, the near-hits caused him to feel his internal organs trembling in pain.

Even so, what pain had he not experienced? He was able to grit his teeth and persevere as he landed a few attacks laced with lightning elemental Qi on his opponent.

He was not currently using Martial Techniques. Instead, he was solely relying on his martial arts, and while the result was much less evident than when a Nine Sky Judgment hit the ghost, it was also much more cost-efficient, and the small strands of lightning were still wreaking havoc in the ghost's body.

He found that while martial techniques caused damage, the attacks that only used pure lightning was not to be belittled either.
