Chapter 185: 185, [Who says I don’t have a sword]

Translator: 549690339

The inky Qi flew like a river, and the seven Sword Qis within it resembled little boats on a river.

Wherever the inky Qi flowed, they followed.

Go with the flow!

Even though this inky Qi seemed slow, it would always manage to deflect each attack.

If a ghost emerged from the copper mirror, it would be stopped by the Pink Ink. As the Sword Qi went with the flow, the ghost would be instantly cut in half.

This third challenge seemed complicated and unpredictable. However, if you had enough defensive methods, you could resolve everything!

Being tough, was always good.

Outside the Trial Ground, Snake Elder narrowed his dark green eyes while sitting on an ancient tree.

“Interesting, this shield is quite interesting!”

“It seems to be soft and only made of Qi, but its effect is superb!”

“And… there’s a sense of conception!”

In plain words, the special effect of this skill looked fantastic.

At this moment, Lu Xun looked at his Ink Shield and Sword Qi, quite satisfied with the combo skill he had developed.

“There’s something called ‘anime-style handsome’, used to describe the attractive look of men who seem to have walked out of an anime.”

“My style is somewhat old-fashioned. I guess I could be seen as a Sword Immortal who stepped out of an ink painting!”

Just by the special effect of this skill, those silly players might drool over it when they see it!

You can’t get this good looking even by spending money!

“It’s a pity that others always need some pink while only my Pink Ink has the pure texture of ink.”

Lu Xun kept moving forward, counting in his heart: “Only one ghost left.”

“Over here!”

Lu Xun turned around to face a copper mirror. The inky Qi around his body flowed towards the mirror like a dragon, and the seven Sword Qis were at the forefront!

It looked as if the seven Sword Qis were flying in the sky, leaving trails of ink behind them!

“Boom!”

The seven Sword Qis immediately shattered the copper mirror, and the ghost hidden inside the mirror was terminated by Lu Xun before it could even show up.

It was as if the crystal was removed before the soldier could even move.

When the third challenge was over, he also managed to destroy a magical copper mirror from Boundless Mountain.

“Sheesh, I was just testing its power. Why is this Magical Artifact from Boundless Mountain so shoddily made? How come it broke so easily?” Lu Xun felt a bit embarrassed.

“I shouldn’t have to pay for it, should I?” He pondered.

Although he had plenty of Spirit Stones now and could be considered a small millionaire, he still preferred to save as much as possible.

After all, when his Spirit Stones ran out, he would have to rob his third senior brother again. As his junior, how could he bear to do that!

After leaving the third challenge, he entered the final stage of the “Ghost’s Grief” dungeon.

When Lu Xun was playing as the Explosive Temper Great Cane Hero in his past life, he was stuck at this stage.

Moreover, he was stuck right at the beginning.

Of course, when he passed the third challenge in his previous life, he didn’t have the kind of ease that he had now. At that time, he entered with a dazzling look, but came out looking like a beggar.

Having the ghosts was bad enough, but the copper mirror would spout out ice one moment and fire the other. Singing the song of ice and fire from that small mouth, even you would be defeated by this juxtaposition of fire and ice!

“Unlike ‘Turtle’s Longevity’, ‘Ghost’s Grief’ only allows one entry per year. If you make a mistake, you’ll be transported out.”

“This fourth challenge is not easy, I wonder if I’ll make it through.”

Lu Xun thought to himself, as he took a step forward.

The scene changed again, and he was now in an open space without copper mirrors.

In the sky, there was a platform floating. In the middle of the platform, it seemed as if something was imprisoned. Many chains were connected to the surrounding rock wall.

The chains were thick, with golden runes appearing and disappearing on them. The runes looked very profound, but Lu Xun…couldn’t understand them at all.

From his perspective, he could only see the bottom of the platform and didn’t know what was on the platform.

But he knew, imprisoned there, was a Ghost King!

This information was made public by the players of Boundless Mountain after the game was publicly released, so it should be correct.

It was said that the power of this Ghost King was not inferior to the fifth-level Cultivator.

I have no idea how Boundless Mountain was able to detain it.

The strength of the Ghost King in the fourth level is absolutely above the Ghost King who died under Mao Nanbei’s blade!

And this level, of course, is not about letting the player face the Ghost King directly. That would be just feeding him!

For him, Lu Xun is nothing more than a delicious and tempting course.

What Lu Xun had to face, was a clone of this Ghost King.

Indeed, the Yin Gathering Array could condense the Yin Qi and Ghost Qi into ghosts, but it could only gather some ordinary ghosts.

To put it simply, it cannot purify the Ghost Qi to make high-level ghosts.

But having a Ghost King makes it different – we can extract it directly from its body!

Its Ghost Qi is pure and very useful~

As long as it was extracted, it could then rely on the formation to create stronger elite ghosts.

“The expert who established Ghost’s Grief originally, gives the feeling of a mad scientist,” Lu Xun commented in his mind.

And these ghosts really have a miserable existence, not only imprisoned, but also “bled” every time a cultivator entered the fourth level.

In the past, it took a long time for someone to enter here, but the frequency has been rather high recently.

In just a few days, first came Xiao Ran, then Ye Sui An, and now Lu Xun also arrived here.

Poor Ghost King had to have his blood sucked again.

“I wonder how thick the needle is?” Lu Xun wondered.

Soon, he saw the chains begin to shake violently.

It seemed to have been needled.

But he didn’t hear any extra sounds.

“Whoosh”, the Ghost Qi condensed, and a dark shadow descended from the sky.

Lu Xun took a closer look and gathered its basic information.

“Ghost, Level 18, Elite Grade.”

This level produces Elite Grade Ghosts based on the cultivator’s cultivation base, and the level is 5 levels higher than that of the cultivator.

If the cultivator’s level is higher than 25, the standard will change.

After all, if a ghost is higher than level 30, it’s equivalent to The Third Realm, which is a completely different concept.

Under normal circumstances, an elite monster that is 5 levels higher than oneself is definitely a tough nut to crack.

There is a big difference between Elite monsters and ordinary monsters, although not as troublesome as Boss Level, but they are still hard bones to bite.

For ordinary players, they can’t even beat an elite monster of the same level, let alone 5 levels higher!

As set in Heavenly Dust, it’s difficult to surpass this power gap.

Even in Lu Xun’s previous life, he could at most defeat elite monsters 3 levels higher than himself using his superb Stick Method, but not any higher.

And this is just the beginning!

After killing this one, two more will come up in a while.

This level is considered successfully cleared only after all three are killed.

The biggest difficulty in this level for cultivators and players is – No weapons!

A Sword Cultivator without a sword greatly reduces the power of his swordsmanship.

In such a situation, everything becomes more difficult.

Like Ye Sui An without a sword, Xiao Ran without his double axes, they could at most deal with one. But when the back two come together, they couldn’t handle them.

But for this point, Lu Xun was able to cheat.

Yes, he did leave the sword sheath at the entrance.

But the sword, he brought it in!

He looked at the elite ghost that had formed, smiled his signature gentle smile, and said in his mind:

“Sorry, I cheated.”

The small sword in the Sword Heart gave a violent shake!

“Ancient Five Elements Sword Formation, Rise!”
