Zhang Yan held Meng Yao tightly, and the two of them did not dare make even the slightest movement, as they were afraid that the Ghost King in front of them would notice it, and once the Ghost King brought the little ghosts to the place where Zhang Yan was standing previously, when they realized that the ghost flame did not reach anyone, they could not help but stop and look around, but fortunately, the little ghosts did not go far, and only circled around ten meters away from where they were, but did not discover it, and returned to Ghost King's side, continuing to follow Ghost King forward.

And the direction they were walking in was the exact spot where Zhang Yan and the rest were standing before they retreated, where the ghostly flame on the Ghost King's scepter was also emitting a faint green light. Luckily, the ghostly flame wasn't very bright, and wasn't able to light up Zhang Yan and Meng Yao.

and Meng Yao looked at the Ghost King that was less than thirty meters away from them, and their hearts were raised to their throats. Adding to the fact that the two of them were stuck together, they could hear each other's heartbeat, and Zhang Yan was confident in the power of the Pure Heart Lotus, since it was the first time he had been able to avoid the detection of the Ghost King in the Hundred Ghost Night Walk. This time, Zhang Yan believed that he would also be able to successfully dodge it.

When the Ghost King behind him discovered Zhang Yan and Meng Yao, the ghost flame in his eyes immediately ignited and jumped, giving off the impression that the Ghost King was angry from the embarrassment, and the Ghost King was possibly angry because Zhang Yan had almost ran away right under his noses.

The Ghost King waved the scepter in his hand, and a gigantic Ghost Flame Skeleton floated out from the skull of the scepter. After the Ghost Flame Skeleton floated out, it immediately flew towards Zhang Yan and Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan turned his head to look and saw that the Ghost Flame Skeleton was chasing after him, and immediately became scared to the point that his pupils contracted, following that, he turned and ran even faster, since Zhang Yan knew how powerful the Ghost Flame Skeleton was, with his Martial Saint cultivation, he couldn't even win against it, and would probably be instantly killed if he and Meng Yao were to be devoured.

Zhang Yan ran even faster because of the fright, but since Meng Yao was injured, coupled with the fact that he was not very proficient in movement techniques, Zhang Yan immediately reported Meng Yao to his waist. Under this situation, Meng Yao was suddenly shocked by Zhang Yan's hug, but immediately followed up by throwing her jade arms around Zhang Yan's neck, which was hugged by him like a princess, following that, Zhang Yan activated his Azure Cloud Step, allowing the Spirit Energy to support his legs even more as he quickly ran forward.

Meng Yao looked at the Ghost Flame Skeleton that was getting closer and closer behind him, and could not help but shout out loud: "Quickly put me down and run. If this goes on, neither of us will be able to escape."

"No, I said that I would protect you, so I must do what I said. Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you," Zhang Yan said stubbornly but firmly.

Meng Yao only felt his heart warm up when he heard this, and he was moved to tears. Meng Yao buried his head into Zhang Yan's chest and said emotionally, "Even if I die today, it would be enough for me to die with you."

"Don't talk about those depressing things. I haven't lived long enough. How can I die?" Zhang Yan said loudly, and while talking, he quickly ran forward.

However, the speed of the Ghost Flame Skeleton was simply too fast, in an instant he was behind Zhang Yan, opening his mouth wide as he rushed to devour Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan felt an extremely powerful suction force coming from behind, he knew that the Ghost Flame Skeleton was chasing after him, so he had no choice but to dodge to the side. Zhang Yan then put down the stone sword in his hands, and took out the stone sword in his hand, looking at Ghost King with a pair of eyes that was filled with killing intent.

"Since we can't escape, I'll fight it out with it," Zhang Yan said as he directly released the Soul Devouring beast that was hiding within the True Dragon Ring and was recuperating to restore his soul.

A cloud of black mist floated out from Zhang Yan's True Dragon Ring, and immediately after, the humanoid Soul Devouring Beast knelt down on one knee, and greeted: "Young Master, you were looking for me?"

Zhang Yan pointed to the Ghost King in front of him and said: "You have seen the situation right now, since we can't escape, then let's fight, it's just that the strength of the Ghost King is too strong, I'm not his opponent, so I can only trouble you to settle this, but I wonder if you can beat it?"

The Soul Devouring sneered after hearing that, "Don't worry Young Master, it's just a mere Ghost King, I don't even put it in my eyes."

As the Soul Devouring beast spoke, it pointed its finger forward, and a black beast shaped shadow formed on its fingertip. The beast's illusory image quickly grew in size, until it was as big as the Ghost Flame Skeleton floating in the air, then it quickly opened its mouth and roared as it charged towards the Ghost Flame Skeleton.

When the two clashed, in an instant, the demonic beast that was formed from the black mist sent out by the Soul Devouring beast gained the upper hand. It instantly opened its mouth and bit off half of the Ghost Flame Skeleton, and then followed up with another gulp to devour the other half of the Ghost Flame Skeleton. In just two simple attacks, it completely devoured the Ghost Flame Skeleton, and after devouring the beast back into the body of the Soul Devouring Beast, it directly disappeared into the body of the Soul Devouring Beast.

The Soul Devouring Beast's Qi suddenly became even stronger, and it said with a face full of enjoyment: "The Ghost Flames of Yellow Spring Road is truly a great tonic, this Ghost King is mine today."

The Soul Devouring Beast glared as it spoke, then immediately rushed towards Ghost King, who was also not to be outdone, directly clashing against it, and for a time, no one was able to tell who was the victor.

Upon seeing that, the little demon and evil spirit immediately rushed over from the side to surround Zhang Yan and Meng Yao, they all opened their mouths wide and pounced towards Zhang Yan, and upon seeing that, Zhang Yan immediately activated Asura's technique, causing the stone sword in Zhang Yan's hand to become surrounded by the blood red Spirit Energy, following that Zhang Yan used his Azure Essence Sword Art.

Zhang Yan's figure instantly disappeared from where he stood, and when he reappeared, he was already in the group of imps. Countless blood-red Sword Qi s lined up horizontally around the area, and every single one of these Sword Qi s were like soul harvesting machines, quickly harvesting the spirits of the surrounding imps. Wherever they went, it was like an autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, and every single imp was killed by Zhang Yan.

When they saw Meng Yao put the jade bamboo flute in his mouth again, and the melodious flute sounds transmitted over, the little ghosts closest to Meng Yao all heard the flute sounds, and all stood there in a daze. Not long after, as the flute sounds changed, these little ghosts started to kill each other once again.

Zhang Yan and Meng Yao's joint attack had instantly finished off more than half of the little ghosts, but there were not only little imps in the group of ghosts, there was also a little less than half of them, about twenty plus evil spirits. These evil spirits' strength were equivalent to that of the Martial Ancestor, and were simply not something that Zhang Yan could handle with a single slash of his sword.

Zhang Yan was afraid that Meng Yao had problems, and immediately went in front of Meng Yao, extended his hand out to take out the Soul Suppressing Talisman and shouted: "Come, let me show you my Soul Suppressing Talisman."

While speaking, Zhang Yan surged with his Spirit Energy and entered the center of the Soul Suppressing Talisman in his hands. Zhang Yan activated his Soul Suppressing Talisman and a burst of dazzling white light was emitted from it.
