Just as they say, even a cornered rabbit will bite.
These three robbers that suddenly appeared had left Zhao Letian with no way out.
Thus, even at the risk of being backlashed by the three fierce ghosts, he had to utilize the Ghost King Stele to slay these three individuals.
After absorbing Zhao Letian's Essence Blood, a gust of cold wind arose from the Ghost King Stele, and a vast expanse of dark green ghostly fog surged out, shrouding Zhao Letian's body.
Upon seeing this scene, the three men were all startled, then they furrowed their brows, showing a solemn expression.
"Such powerful ghost energy, everybody be careful!"
The leader of the robbers, wearing a black robe, felt a life-threatening danger emanating from the ghostly fog and could not help but feel alarmed, as he solemnly cautioned.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
As soon as his words fell, the three of them released powerful auras and drew their weapons, appearing as if facing a formidable enemy.
At that moment, a strange black iron chain suddenly shot out from the ghostly fog, like a venomous serpent, striking towards the three robbers.
The black-robed leader was the first to bear the brunt, angrily shouting as he swung his sword fiercely down upon it.
The next instant, a loud explosion resounded, and a powerful energy wave spread out. The black-robed leader felt an irresistible terrifying force coming from the chain, which blew him back, causing him to spit out blood and fly backward.
Seeing this scene, the other two were shocked and, filled with both surprise and anger, waved their weapons to slash at the strange black iron chain.
"Run quickly, you're no match for him!"
The black-robed leader hadn't even landed when he hurriedly cried out in alarm.
With just one contact, he realized that the entity within the ghostly fog had a higher cultivation than his, likely a terrifying being at the peak of Sect Martial Ninth Layer, definitely not someone the three of them could contend against.
Hearing the warning from the man in the black robe, the faces of the other two drastically changed. They immediately wanted to retract their attacks and escape to the distance, but by then, it was already too late. The strange black iron chain shook violently, moving with the agility of a venomous snake, and swiftly penetrated through their heads with horrifying speed.
Witnessing this scene, the leader in the black robe couldn't help but inhale sharply, instantly losing the will to fight, and, bearing his internal injuries, he transformed into a swift ray of light and fled into the distance.
From within the dark green sinister ghostly fog, the cold voice of Zhao Letian suddenly rang out.
Following that, a blurry black shadow chased after at an even faster pace.
A moment later, a mournful scream came from the distance.
After a short while, a fierce ghost wielding the black iron chain returned to Zhao Letian's side, handing over a Storage Ring.
This Storage Ring was naturally that of the black-robed man.
"Good, you may return."
Zhao Letian took the Storage Ring and looked at the green-faced, fierce ghost with sharp teeth, speaking in a deep voice, his eyes flickering with vigilance.
Due to the scarcity of Essence Blood remaining in his body, worried about being counterattacked by ghost creatures, Zhao Letian only summoned this one ferocious ghost.
Yet even so, he could sense that the moment this ferocious ghost appeared, it harbored thoughts of counterattacking him, thus he had to be cautious and on guard.
The ferocious ghost did not immediately return to the Ghost King Stele; it glared fixedly at Zhao Letian, its eyes flickering with a bloody red light, revealing an itching agitation and couldn't help but let out an angry roar, suddenly emitting a strong killing intent.
This time, the Essence Blood Zhao Letian used was so little that it was barely enough to summon it, and now, the ghost craved the Essence Blood. If Zhao Letian couldn't provide enough, it would turn against its master, Zhao Letian.
"Insolence, back you go!"
Zhao Letian, realizing the ghost's strong intention to counterattack its master, immediately darkened his face, and scolded it coldly.
As the owner of the Ghost King Stele, he must appear very tough in front of these ghost creatures and must absolutely not show weakness.
Otherwise, once these ghost creatures sensed any weakness in their master that could be exploited, they would immediately take advantage and directly counterattack the master.
Thus, although Zhao Letian was very weak at the moment, he could not show a shred of cowardice.
At the same time, to be on the safe side, Zhao Letian directly released the Thunder and Lightning Corpse Ape from the Spiritual Beast Bag.
The Thunder and Lightning Corpse Ape was naturally hostile to these sinister ghost creatures. Without Zhao Letian's orders, its huge body, over a zhang tall, positioned itself in front of Zhao Letian. Purple Thunder Arcs surged around its body as it glared at the ferocious ghost across from it and let out an angry roar.
Faced with the Thunder and Lightning Corpse Ape, the ferocious ghost immediately revealed a deep sense of wariness in its eyes.
Or more precisely, it was extremely wary of the thunder and lightning on the Corpse Ape's body, which specifically suppressed sinister ghost creatures.
However, even then, the ferocious ghost still refused to return to the Ghost King Stele.
This was because, although Zhao Letian appeared very tough, the ghost clearly sensed Zhao Letian's current condition of weakness.
More importantly, the Essence Blood that Zhao Letian had provided was not enough to satisfy its need. At that moment, it was very desperate for Zhao Letian's Essence Blood.
As for the Thunder and Lightning Corpse Ape that the ghost was wary of, it still didn't fear a fight with it due to its own powerful cultivation advantage.
"Ignorant fool, attack!"
Seeing that the ferocious ghost was about to attack, Zhao Letian made a decisive decision, his expression sunk, and he directly ordered the Thunder and Lightning Corpse Ape.
The Thunder and Lightning Corpse Ape immediately roared in anger. Electric currents surged violently about its body. Quickly, on its right arm, it condensed a Thunderbolt Whip, which crackled and snapped, viciously lashing towards the ferocious ghost across from it.
The ferocious ghost was not willing to show weakness either. It also roared angrily, swung the black iron chain in its hand, and met the incoming Thunderbolt Whip head-on.
An explosive sound erupted, and numerous Thunder Arcs traveled along the black iron chain, directly striking the ferocious ghost.
The ferocious ghost immediately let out a piercing scream, its body blasted and charred, emitting billows of blue smoke.
Its black iron chain, despite its powerful force, was completely unable to stop the lightning power of the Corpse Ape.
Or more accurately, its sinister ghost power was firmly suppressed by the utterly yang and unyielding force of the lightning.
At the same time, the Corpse Ape did not stop; another brutal whip landed, leaving another charred mark on the ferocious ghost's body.
The ferocious ghost let out successive pitiful howls begging for mercy, finally giving up the thought of resistance.
