Chapter 311: If You Want to Explode, Then Explode
However, Jiang Mengyu soon discovered that whenever her hefty saber swung at the lecherous ghost, the ghost managed to dodge before the weapon could strike its body.
It took great effort to finally hit the lecherous ghost, splitting him into two, but he quickly reassembled, unscathed.
In reality, her saber did hurt the ghost’s soul body; it’s just that she hadn’t realized it.
She recognized that her saber was not effective against the lecherous ghost.
Should she try another method?
Her thoughts raced, realizing that if she couldn’t injure the enemy with her saber, she needed to employ another way. If chopping didn’t work, what about devouring?
With that thought, she summoned more fog, transforming it into various snakes that attacked the lecherous ghost from all directions—since the saber couldn’t harm him, simply devour him instead!
The lecherous ghost was greatly alarmed: Just as he feared her assembling soul energy to confront him, she immediately thought of this way to deal with him.
Moreover, how did she know that he was afraid of snakes?
A chop from the saber might only cause minor damage, but if devoured by snakes, his spiritual body would be assimilated.
He wanted to flee, but the snakes encircled him from all sides, leaving him no escape.
He attempted to charge at Jiang Mengyu, aiming for a confrontation, but Jiang Mengyu didn’t allow him close, instead directing the snakes to form a net that ensnared him.
Even if his spiritual body was stronger than Jiang Mengyu’s, it didn’t matter. This was Jiang Mengyu’s terrain, she had ample soul energy to use, and she didn’t need to fight him in terms of spiritual strength.
Once the ghost was trapped in the net formed by soul energy, the snake heads continued to bite at him, ripping away chunks of "flesh" and gulping them down.
The lecherous ghost screamed, "Release me, or I’ll self-destruct and destroy your Sea of Consciousness."
Jiang Mengyu laughed, "Go ahead and explode."
In reality, if the lecherous ghost were to self-destruct, he actually could damage Jiang Mengyu’s Sea of Consciousness.
The problem was, in order to self-destruct, he had to first contract his energy before releasing it explosively. But currently, he was tightly ensnared by Jiang Mengyu’s soul energy. As soon as he tried to contract, the snake net would tighten accordingly, binding him further; how could he explode?
The lecherous ghost’s spiritual body helplessly watched as Jiang Mengyu’s soul energy transformed snakes devoured him.
In the end, the lecherous ghost that had existed for thousands of years in this mysterious valley was finally annihilated by Jiang Mengyu.
Jiang Mengyu felt her spiritual power had more than doubled—indeed, this ghost had to have been at least a Golden Core level in his lifetime.
Logically, seizing the body of a small cultivator who had just reached Foundation Establishment should have been easy for him, which was why he so boldly attempted to seize Jiang Mengyu.
Unfortunately for him, he lacked the knowledge that Jiang Mengyu cultivated the Witch Body Technique, which not only could gather Heaven and Earth Positive Energy but could also easily call upon the soul energy in her Sea of Consciousness. His strong spiritual body proved useless; he couldn’t even approach her spiritual body and was thus defeated and devoured.
His Spiritual Weapon—the Spirit Fan—also ended up in Jiang Mengyu’s possession.
Finally, Jiang Mengyu opened her eyes and felt her spiritual power and the range of her Divine Sense suddenly increased to three kilometers.
Essentially, the entire valley fell under her Divine Sense coverage.
She discovered, behind the cave where those skeletons were discarded, there was another cave piled with some worldly items.
She wondered, what would a ghost cultivator need mundane items for?
Moreover, if she guessed correctly, the ring on the ghost’s left-hand ring finger was probably a storage ring.
Why not keep things in the storage ring, yet pile them up in that cave?
