"One ghost leaves, a hundred ghosts arrive."
Yama Canyon, this is the world of evil spirits.
Tang Fei knew they couldn’t keep going , as their current Cultivation Realm and the limited Yin Yang Qi inside their bodies would be depleted soon, and they would be devoured by evil spirits.
Tang Fei and Phoenix stood back to back. After cleaving two Ghouls with a single slice, Tang Fei yelled to Phoenix, "We can’t keep going , we need to find the Ghost King..."
Since it’s called Yama Canyon, then the real big boss should be King Yan.
Only by taking him down could they stop the endless emergence of these evil spirits.
In Tang Fei’s understanding, the Ghost King was like the Ant Queen, hiding in a dark, concealed corner and continuously laying eggs.
No matter how many you kill, could you outpace his rate of birth?
To capture the robbers, capture the king first!
"Alright." Phoenix also realized this wasn’t a solution; they had originally thought that with a bit of hard effort, they could eradicate all the evil spirits in the canyon.
What awaited them was a bright future and a clear path.
However, they were already exhausted. The evil spirits weren’t diminishing; instead, they were increasing.
It was much like life itself.
Phoenix turned around, and they started moving forward side by side.
Tang Fei hacked with his sword, Phoenix swung her long whip.
Together, they slaughtered all the evil spirits in their path, advancing forward fiercely.
Along the way, they saw many team members who had been killed by evil spirits, their bodies left on the ground.
More people were still entangled in fight with the evil spirits; clearly, they too were trapped in this endless cycle...
Seeing Tang Fei and Phoenix blitzing past, they quickly caught on.
"Don’t get entangled, find a way to escape... the magma is coming soon..."
"There’s no end to them; these ghosts can’t be killed, let’s hurry..."
"Follow Tang Fei, he must have found a way to break through..."
After Tang Fei stabbed Yu Huoshui to death, he was met with everyone’s fear and caution.
But at the same time, he also received recognition for his capability.
This guy was ruthless.
So, when they saw Tang Fei and Phoenix not entangling with the evil spirits anymore but desperately rushing forward, they followed suit.
Tang Fei and Phoenix led the way; the farther forward they went, the fewer evil spirits intercepted them.
However, the eerie and terrifying sense of oppression grew stronger.
They all sensed the danger.
Just then, a middle-aged man slowly emerged from the darkness, wearing a square crown and a blue robe with a leopard-eyed and angry expression, his hair standing on end as though crown-charged.
His body floated above, looking down from high at Tang Fei, Phoenix, and the others.
It seemed he was the lord of this canyon, King Yan.
King Yan held a pen in his left hand and a sword in his right.
With the brush in his hand drawing in the air, with a single stroke, a Tongue Ghost appeared out of thin air, its tongue stretching several meters, sweeping towards Tang Fei and Phoenix.
Tang Fei and Phoenix looked at each other, realizing that the pen in King Yan’s hand was a Divine Pen, capable of creating ghosts with a single stroke, without needing pregnancies.
Fortunately, they hadn’t continued to tangle with his evil spirits ahead, otherwise, when would it end?
By the time the volcanic magma above gushed down and turned them into bubbles, they would still be far from annihilating all these ghost soldiers and Ghost Generals under King Yan.
Tang Fei rushed forward, slashing off the Tongue Ghost’s tongue with one slice.
Then with another stroke, the Tongue Ghost let out a wail, splitting into two halves...
"This mountain was opened by me, this tree was planted by me. To pass by here, leave your life behind," King Yan said, no longer painting ghosts. His eyes, like copper bells, stared at Tang Fei and Phoenix as he spoke, "Who are you? Why do you trespass my Yama Canyon?"
"Are you King Yan?" Tang Fei asked.
"Indeed, I am the King of Ten Thousand Ghosts."
"Killing you would let us pass through Yama Canyon?" Tang Fei continued.
King Yan grew angry and shouted, "Damn it. You dare to insult me; I shall make sure you have no burial place."
Tang Fei, seeing other members of the assessment team gathering, provocatively yelled, "It doesn’t matter whether you’re King Yan or the Ghost King, in the hands of these brothers behind me, they will shatter your soul forever..."
King Yan’s gaze then fell on the assessment team members behind Tang Fei...
The team members looked terrified.
It’s not me; I didn’t; you’re talking nonsense...
How dare Tang Fei, this despicable and shameless man, draw hatred onto them?
Tang Fei didn’t care what they thought; he knew King Yan was the big boss of this challenge and the hardest to deal with.
If he and Phoenix were to rush forward and fight with King Yan by themselves, knowing these people, they would definitely choose to watch indifferently.
He didn’t want to get killed by King Yan in the second challenge.
Even being maimed would be unacceptable, who knew what other challenges lay ahead...
From his understanding of this assessment, naturally, the closer to the end, the more difficult it was.
Therefore, no matter what, he had to bind these people to the same battle ship.
Even if they couldn’t work wholeheartedly, they needed to cooperate.
Tang Fei looked at those assessors, waved his hand grandly, and shouted, "He is King Yan, brothers, let’s work together to kill him and pass this challenge..."
Furious, King Yan swung his sword, and a huge fire dragon swooped down towards the ground.
The entire Yama Canyon seemed about to be filled with flames...
People rapidly executed their movement techniques, each unleashing unique skills, thus barely avoiding the sword’s might.
