Chapter 74 – Kill the Ghost King
So far, this Gravekeeper is still trying to deceive everyone.
"Thank you for finding my deceased wife's belongings. Hand them over to me, and you'll receive two Mysterious Grade treasures."
Lin Jichen walked over without showing any emotion.
The Gravekeeper's smile gradually turned sinister.
Just when he thought Lin Jichen had fallen for it, a flash of cold light swept past!Fiind updated novels on no/v/elbin(.)co/m
The Gravekeeper hurriedly dodged but was still a step too slow, taking a sword strike to the shoulder.
"-240!"
Realizing he was exposed, the Gravekeeper dropped his act.
He glared menacingly at Lin Jichen, his skin shedding like a cicada's shell, and his limbs growing like segmented insects.
The previously hunched old man vanished, replaced by a two-meter-tall monster.
Covered in black aura, his body was densely packed with scales, and his face resembled a beast.
His long, withered arms clutched a pitch-black staff.

"In the name of the Ghost King, I sentence you all to death!"
The Night Cavern Ghost King raised his staff, looking down on everyone, and a large mass of dense black aura erupted from the staff!
The black aura transformed into countless night crows, their scarlet eyes glaring as they swarmed towards Lin Jichen and his group.
The sky was filled with an uncountable number of night crows, completely covering the night sky, turning into a raging tide!
For Su Wanling and the other novice players, it was their first time witnessing such an awe-inspiring skill. The sheer momentum alone crushed their spirits.
At this moment, they felt incredibly small in the face of such an opponent.
Under this kind of AOE skill, no matter how good their movement technique was, they couldn't dodge it.
The five people and one panda were all surrounded by the crows, forced to swing their weapons to eliminate as many as they could.
But many crows still slipped through.
Everyone's health bars were rapidly depleting.
Jiang Luoyu, with her lower defense, lost the most health, dropping by four to five hundred points.
Only Panda Xiong and Lin Jichen fared better, with ample health and less damage taken.
Seeing the guild leader's health in critical condition, Cao Shiying stepped forward, spinning the handle of her umbrella.
A pillar of light rose in front of everyone, enveloping the five people and one panda.
Everyone's vitality gradually recovered.
"Nice job, Shiying. This skill is really useful," Su Wanling praised.
Cao Shiying smiled wryly, "Wanling sister, this skill consumes a lot of mana. I'm almost out."
But Lin Jichen was different. Every strike he made dealt two to three hundred points of damage.
He didn't aim for weak points to land critical hits this time.
This time, he focused solely on speed, even completely abandoning dodging and defense.
The Ghost King wasn't just a punching bag; his other hand turned into a claw, attacking Lin Jichen.
But Lin Jichen didn't dodge, enduring the claw's attacks while continuing to swing his sword.
For two whole minutes, Lin Jichen didn't know how many times he had swung his sword, only that he had planted ten strands of Sword Qi.
"Explode!"
The Sword Qi buried in the Ghost King's body exploded all at once.
"-1500!"
Combined with the damage from Lin Jichen's continuous strikes, the Ghost King's vitality had dropped by more than half, with less than a quarter remaining.
Jiang Luoyu and the others smiled, feeling like they were about to clear the hell-level Secret Realm!
Just then, a sudden change occurred.
The Ghost King threw his staff into the air.
A dark, eerie green beam of light descended from the staff, enveloping everyone.
Immediately, over ten ghost soldiers clad in armor, exuding intense killing intent, appeared!
The ghost soldiers snarled and charged at the group!
Lin Jichen's eyes burned with killing intent, his long sword slicing through the air, unleashing dozens of Sword Qi!
"Phoenix Feather!"
The Sword Qi rained down, destroying everything in its path.
The newly summoned ghost soldiers were turned to ashes before they could even serve the Ghost King.
At this moment, the Ghost King took the opportunity to escape, hiding to the side and chanting, causing dense death energy to appear in the sky.
The entire mountain began to tremble slightly.
However, just as the spell was about to succeed, the remaining Phoenix Feather Sword Qi caught up to the Ghost King, striking his body.
"-840!"
"-840!"
"-840!"
"Silence effect triggered!"
The Ghost King's chant was abruptly cut off, as if someone had choked him.
The black energy gathering in the sky seemed confused, displaying three question marks before dissipating.
Lin Jichen chuckled, not expecting the Phoenix Feather's 30% silence effect to trigger.
The Ghost King's last resort was gone, leaving him powerless to resist.
"Frost Moon Slash!"
The final strike sent him on his way.
With the Ghost King's death, a Soul Burial Mound was left behind.
This time, even Su Wanling didn't move, all waiting for Lin Jichen.
Lin Jichen walked over and opened the Soul Burial Mound, eliciting gasps from everyone.
Three pieces of Spirit Grade equipment, two pieces of Ordinary Grade, and over a thousand Spirit Stones.
Most importantly, there were also two pieces of Mysterious Grade equipment!
