Chapter 167 – The despondent Hong Qi
Red Sheep Sword!
This was the Law Sword given to Meng Fan by Elder Lin.
A sword without a sword spirit, usable even at the Heavenly Origin Realm.
It was also the saber once used by a Senior Brother Meng Fan had never met.
That Senior Brother had already passed away, and Meng Fan would never have the chance to meet him in this life.
So, the first time he drew his Senior Brother's Red Sheep Sword, he absolutely couldn't let it be shamed!
At the same time, the Hong Qi Sword at Meng Fan's waist also unsheathed itself, transforming into a stunning Sword Radiance.
The Hong Qi Sword was Meng Fan's personal Law Sword, and it had absorbed a considerable amount of the Essence of the Sword recently, making it much stronger than an average Spiritual Sword.
However, compared to a Law Sword, there was still a significant gap!
At this moment, Meng Fan was preparing to slay this Condensation Pill Realm demon, so he naturally had to go all out and wouldn't keep the stronger Red Sheep Sword hidden.
"Soul Capture!" At that moment, the man in the black robe swung the Ghost Infant Banner in his hand and let out a sharp shout.
In an instant, piercing, eerie wails echoed.
They sounded like a baby's cries, mixed with strange cat-like howls.
What the sounds resembled wasn't important; what mattered was that they were extremely chilling.
Upon hearing these sounds, it felt like a tearing pain in the mind, making it difficult to stay calm.
This Ghost Infant Banner was a special type of mental attack!
This kind of attack was hard to defend against and indeed troublesome.
Not to mention, Ye Qingyu, who was sitting on the ground healing, was now clutching her ears, her face contorted in pain, blood spurting from her mouth before she collapsed.
Xiao Qing, who had been charging at the man in the black robe, also fell to the ground with a thud, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Though the physical bodies of beasts were indeed strong, their mental strength was relatively weaker.
The man in the black robe's Ghost Infant Banner attack was immediately effective!
"Die, all of you~~~" He sneered, his voice filled with killing intent and pleasure.
After being suppressed for so long, he could finally vent his frustrations.
The only downside was that using the Ghost Infant Banner had side effects, requiring at least a month of meditation to barely recover.
Moreover, the more the Ghost Infant Banner was used, the more severe the side effects would become, accumulating over time!
That's why he was initially reluctant to use the Ghost Infant Banner, but now he had no choice.
If he were really eaten by this Flood Dragon, it wouldn't be just a matter of side effects!
"Hong Qi!!!" Meng Fan roared in fury as he felt the excruciating pain in his mind.
Hong Qi was also skilled in mental attacks. With her help, he could buy some time to remain unaffected.
He really went to meet the ghosts.
A massive figure passed by, and the headless corpse of the man in the black robe was swallowed by Xiao Qing in one gulp.
Then it looked at the head on the ground, hesitating for a moment.
Because the skull was quite hard, not very palatable.
But the hesitation was brief. Remembering how this bastard had hurt it earlier, it showed a fierce look and swallowed the head of the man in the black robe in one bite.
Crunchy, not bad.
Just a bit hard on the teeth!
Meng Fan watched this scene quietly, expressionless, without stopping it.
Eating people was indeed against human ethics.
But Xiao Qing was a beast, not a human!
Moreover, this guy was utterly devoid of humanity, not deserving to be called human.
Being eaten after death was already a mercy!
Such a beast should be skinned alive to make him feel the utmost despair, but unfortunately, Xiao Qing wasn't up to the task!
No matter, Xiao Qing had just entered the boss-level entity realm, and it was normal to be at a disadvantage against a Condensation Pill Realm expert.
Meng Fan ignored Xiao Qing and turned to look at Hong Qi's phantom, smiling, "Twenty seconds is too long; I only needed five seconds!"
Hong Qi bowed to Meng Fan, "Master's swordsmanship is divine; killing such a small demon is naturally a piece of cake."
It wasn't exactly a piece of cake; it took quite some effort.
At least having Hong Qi counter the Ghost Infant Banner was beyond Meng Fan's expectations.
"You should return to the Hong Qi Sword to rest; you must have expended a lot of energy just now," Meng Fan said to Hong Qi.
Hong Qi's battle against the Ghost Infant Banner seemed effortless and simple.
But in reality, it must have come at a great cost.
"Yes, Master!" Hong Qi replied obediently.
But before returning to the Hong Qi Sword, she couldn't help but glance a few more times at the fallen Ye Qingyu.
One had to admit, this Senior Sister Ye from the Shu Mountain Sword Sect's Alchemy Hall was indeed extremely beautiful.
No wonder Master had been spending so much time with her recently.
If she were a man, she would also want to spend every moment with such a beauty.
Unfortunately, she wasn't a man, not even a human!
Thinking of this, Hong Qi quickly returned to the Hong Qi Sword.
Alone, silently heartbroken...
