Chapter 18

As the ghostly aura descended, a thin stream of blood suddenly trickled from the corner of Jay’s lips.

The array loosened, and the pressure within it on everyone eased dramatically.

“Ghost King Qing Xuan!”

Bixia and the others were filled with a mix of fear and uncertainty, unable to determine if the arrival was friend or foe.

Jay slowly lifted his head, “Qing Xuan, what do you mean by this?”

Above Tianxu Terrace, Ghost Emissaries gathered like dark clouds pressing down.

Qing Xuan stood at the forefront, sighing:

“Old friend, do not blame me; blame your little ghost for being too strong, breaking my Netherflame Array.”

“I’ve thought it over, and neither she nor you can be allowed to remain.”

Upon hearing this, my mind went blank, leaving only one thought–

I have doomed Jay!

Yet, from Tianxu Terrace came Jay’s loud laughter:

“Be it human, ghost, or Buddha, it turns out we all walk the same path!”

“Your spiritual power is nearly depleted; don’t force yourself.”

A flash appeared in Qing Xuan’s eyes as his twin blades descended once more.

“Clang!” With a sound, the Bu Gui Divine Sword finally succumbed to the strain, breaking into two pieces.

The Myriad Manifestation Spirit Summoning Array crumbled, and Jay barely managed to block the ghostly aura with the broken sword.

“Zen Master Du’e, Sect Leaders,” Qing Xuan glanced at the disheveled righteous individuals on Tianxu Terrace, “Would you be willing to cooperate with me to eliminate Jay and then find his beloved little ghost to eradicate her completely?”

Du’e feigned silence, and although the others did not know who the little ghost was, having barely escaped with their lives, they could not afford to care about such details and echoed:

“Yes, let’s first eliminate Jay!”

Everyone gathered their remaining spiritual power, joining Qing Xuan’s ghostly aura, surging towards Jay.

Jay sneered, infusing the remaining spiritual power into the broken sword.

At the same time, a gentle voice whispered in my ear, “Run.”

I lunged forward but fell to the ground.

-The binding array had vanished.

This meant Jay’s spiritual power was exhausted, unable to withstand this strike!

My heart shattered as I rushed towards Tianxu Terrace at the fastest speed possible.

Faster, faster!

“Boom-”

Several forces of spiritual and ghostly power collided, exploding with thunder and lightning.

“Jay!”
