Fiend Ghost

“Wait for me! I want to give you a Xiaoshuai Junior!” enthused Xiaoshuai.

Mu Yu took in a breath in preparation for the leap of faith. Surprisingly, the two who jumped down jumped back up. Xiaoshuai cried, “Ghost! Ghost!” Qiao Xue was also visibly shaken.

“Party over already?” joked Mu Yu. As Qiao Xue came over, he said, “Rare to see you sc-.”

“Run!” Qiao Xue dragged Mu Yu back into the cave, Xiaoshuai running after them, screaming for dear life.

Xiaoshuai grabbed onto Qiao Xue’s clothing and cried, “Fiend ghosts! There’s an army of fiend ghosts!”

“A fiend what? Fiend ghosts?” Mu Yu looked over his shoulder to see green eyes on phantasmal fiend beasts aggressively in hot pursuit. “Oh, flip me!”New n0vel chapters are published on

Fiend souls and human souls were created when they died. The difference was, unlike humans, only level four fiend beasts or higher could turn into souls once they died. The similarity was their dead counterparts were void of their former conscious. Ghost Gate harvested human souls to manipulate. Humans, generally speaking, harvest fiend souls for their own usage, such as offensive formations. The horde of several hundred fiend souls that the trio ran into were set up as guardians and equipped with their cultivation intact.

“Ow! It bit my bum!” shrilled Xiaoshuai.

The sparrow-sized dhole clung to Xiaoshuai’s tail vehemently. It was a fast, ferocious and strong fiend beast.

“Your skin is thick enough to handle it!” Mu Yu slashed the dhole away, but he couldn’t vanquish it. It changed its target to Mu Yu and called its allies in for reinforcements. “Get lost! Go for Xiaoshuai!”

“We won’t last if this keeps up,” informed Qiao Xue.

From what Mu Yu could discern, the cave hadn’t been modified. Sadly, no magic exit had popped up, either. He once successfully invented a fiend beast formation during his stay at Ku Mu Valley. Thanks to the learning experience, he was well-versed in controlling fiend souls. Hence, he suggested, “Fiend souls only have a desire to kill once a formation rules over them. We need to find a way to vanquish them.”

“It’s pointless to attack what’s already dead,” disputed Qiao Xue.

“What’s already dead?” repeated Mu Yu. He realised, “That which is dead fears life most. I have a wood spirit on me. However, the fiend souls should go crazy to attain life again. That must be why they’re after us.”

Xiaoshuai tugged Mu Yu’s hair. “Throw your ugly sword out.”

Mu Yu whispered, “Will the sword be enough to vanquish them?”

“The ugly sword is so thick that I’m willing to bet drumsticks they can’t chew it off.”

“I don’t know how to summon the sword, though.”

Boom! The blue ribbon barrier fell. The horde of fiend souls charged Qiao Xue into a wall. Several of them immediately mounted her as she groaned. Mu Yu zipped over and shot sword qi to stop their assault. The moment he arrived by her side, he grabbed the fiend beast atop her and took it down. The other fiend soul hopped off and went after him.

“Argh!” Mu Yu suddenly felt a painful sensation when he made contact with a fiend soul. The sensation spread to the rest of his body, shutting down his spiritual energy and numbing his body. Once Shadow Splitter disappeared, the horde jumped him. Mu Yu rolled on the ground in agony despite not having any visible wounds or bleed.

Fiend souls’ attacks only damaged one’s soul. Thus, they didn’t leave any visible wounds on their victim. Nevertheless, the agony was far more excruciating because of how intensely it echoed in the victim’s mind.
