Just as the Yu Family were in shock, the three ghostly figures of the Sect Martial Ninth Realm swooped in with eerie movement techniques, like three blurry black phantoms without any traceable path, catching the Yu Family completely off guard.
One of the ferocious ghosts, wielding a black iron chain with a meat hook at the end, suddenly swung it with terrifying speed, striking a Yu Family powerhouse of the Sect Martial Eighth Realm.
The next moment, the ferocious ghost forcefully pulled the iron chain, and amidst the miserable screams, the Yu Family powerhouse of the Sect Martial Eighth Realm was torn apart and exploded into death.
Simultaneously, another ghost was wielding a black curved blade, severing the head of a person at the Sect Martial Seventh Realm.
As for the last ghost, it wielded a huge ax taller than a man and directly chopped towards a Yu Family powerhouse of the Sect Martial Ninth Realm.
"Hmph! Evil barrier, since you are already dead, you should not continue to stir trouble in this world. Let this seat help you find release!"
The Yu Family powerhouse of the Sect Martial Ninth Realm, evidently not comparable to an ordinary high-level Sect Martial Realm person, faced the incoming giant ax without any fear. With a cold snort, he wielded his longsword and slashed directly at it.
The longsword and the giant ax collided, unleashing a terrifying energy shockwave that quickly swept through like a storm, forcing the people at the scene to swiftly dodge. My Virtual Library Empire (*)
Surprisingly, the ghost wielding the giant ax and the Yu Family powerhouse of the Sect Martial Ninth Realm proved to be evenly matched, with neither retreating even half a step.
However, the ghost's face was covered in a green ghostly mist, obscuring its expression, while the face of the Yu Family powerhouse showed a serious look, clearly struggling in this direct confrontation.
Although their strength was comparable, the ghost seemed to have an endless supply of energy within, replenishing swiftly after minor consumption, and it could also use this constant energy to quickly heal its wounds.
This means, no matter how long the battle lasted, the ghost could maintain full health and strength.
In contrast, the Yu Family's internal primordial energy was depleting, reducing their strength continuously, and unlike the ghost, they could not rapidly heal their injuries if wounded.
Under such circumstances, if the three ferocious ghosts could not be dealt with quickly, the situation would turn very unfavorable for the Yu Family.
Just then, another Yu Family powerhouse at the Sect Martial Ninth Realm suddenly changed his expression and cried out in alarm.
The Yu Family powerhouse engaged with the giant ax-wielding ghost was momentarily startled and before he could react, a black curved blade struck from behind him, splitting him in two.
It turned out the ghost wielding the curved blade had, unbeknownst to them, moved behind him.
Seeing this scene, the Yu Family couldn't help but gasp in shock collectively.
A powerhouse of the Sect Martial Ninth Realm, even within the Sky Dome Dynasty, was a respected and honored figure, revered and venerated by many martial artists, capable of founding sects and earning the illustrious title of a Grandmaster.
Yet unexpectedly, in just a moment's encounter, he was jointly killed by the two ghosts, leading to the realization that even a powerhouse of the Sect Martial Ninth Realm could be so vulnerable.
Just as the Yu Family members were feeling sentimental, the three ferocious ghosts did not idle, continuing to slaughter the people around them.
"These three ferocious ghosts are too strong. Today's mission has already failed. Let's go!"
The remaining two Sect Martial Ninth Realm powerhouses, with gloomy expressions, exchanged glances and then reluctantly spoke out.
In just a moment, six of the ten high-level Sect Martial Realm powerhouses they brought had already fallen.
The two of them were also tightly entangled by two ferocious ghosts, completely unable to spare any effort to protect their own people, let alone attempt to kill Zhao Letian.
Of course, the most important thing was that they had witnessed, with their own eyes, a companion of similar cultivation to them being instantly killed by two ferocious ghosts, instilling a strong sense of fear in their hearts. They asked themselves, if it were the two of them, they also would not be able to withstand the collaboration of these three ferocious ghosts.
In other words, at this moment, the two of them sensed a deadly danger and just wanted to leave this place as quickly as possible to preserve their own lives.
As for the mission assigned by the family, they could only express their helplessness.
"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! ..."
As the voices of these two fell, the members of the Yu Family all launched into their fastest fleeing speed, scurrying away towards the distance as fast as they could.
Especially the two Sect Martial Ninth Realm powerhouses, who had already transformed into two beams of light and darted towards the distance while speaking.
"Thinking of leaving? Is it that easy? Chase!"
Zhao Letian's eyes flashed with a cold gleam as he said.
These Yu Family powerhouses had not caused him any harm, but they had made him lose a large amount of Essence Blood, and naturally, he would not let them leave easily.
"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"
As his voice fell, the three ferocious ghosts transformed into three black afterimages, chasing after the people of the Yu Family separately.
Just in case, after the three ferocious ghosts left, Zhao Letian took out a Corpse Ape with Sect Martial Seventh Realm cultivation from the Spiritual Beast Bag to guard by his side.
Thus, even if some of the Yu Family members turned back midway or encountered other opponents, Zhao Letian could hold on for a while.
"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! ..."
In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the three ferocious ghosts returned once again to Zhao Letian's side, each bringing back several Storage Rings.
"Are they all dead? Very good. In this way, the people of the Yu Family will presumably not dare to act rashly for the time being."
Zhao Letian collected those Storage Rings and through mental connection, learned about the outcome of the battle from the consciousness of these three ferocious ghosts, his eyes brightening, and he nodded in satisfaction.
However, when he ordered the three ferocious ghosts to return to the Ghost King Stele, these three fellows showed some resistance.
"What? Still want to drink my Essence Blood? Hmph! The Essence Blood I've given you is already plenty. Don't be greedy. Get back inside!"
Zhao Letian frowned and coldly reprimanded.
As his voice fell, the mentally connected Corpse Ape immediately roared angrily at the three ferocious ghosts, thunder arcs surging explosively over its massive body, like the descent of Thunder God.
The three ferocious ghosts revealed a deep color of dread in their eyes, letting out a mournful whine. Although reluctant, they ultimately obediently returned to the Ghost King Stele.
