Chapter 213: Chapter 149: Li Hengsheng Battles the Mountain Ghost

Chen Guan’s pupils contracted; someone had actually blocked the Mountain Ghost’s punch with a spear?

Who was it?

Judging by the back, it wasn’t someone from the Endless Sect. Could it be a Postnatal Peak expert from some sect?

The Mountain Ghost looked at the person in front of him, also somewhat surprised.

This person actually stopped his punch?

“Are you… from the Dao Mountain Ancient Land?” Chen Guan finally saw clearly the clothes of the newcomer, uniquely sponsored by the Evergreen Commerce Association.

And he remembered, wasn’t this the person who Lu Shiran from Guanglan Palace confessed to before?

He should only be at the Postnatal Realm!

Chen Guan was utterly confused; a disciple at the Postnatal Realm actually blocked the Mountain Ghost’s punch, what on earth did this person eat to grow up?

“Another one courting death has arrived.”

The Mountain Ghost also saw that Li Hengsheng in front of him was just at the Postnatal Realm, a realm lower than himself.

“Are you alright?” Li Hengsheng ignored the Mountain Ghost and turned back to Chen Guan.

Chen Guan nodded in shock, then said in amazement, “Junior brother, this is a Mountain Ghost. His physical body is strong and very dangerous. You should run quickly, I’ll hold him back, you quickly find other senior brothers to help, otherwise, we…”

But before Chen Guan could finish speaking, Li Hengsheng took action!

The Overlord Immortal Spear Skill was unleashed!

The spear’s shadow was so fast it was unnoticeable.

It moved so quickly that one couldn’t see how many strikes Li Hengsheng had actually made.

In the next moment, the Mountain Ghost’s chest was directly pierced through with a massive bloody hole!

The Mountain Ghost looked in horror at the bloody hole in his chest, unable to say even a word before collapsing to the ground.

“It’s all right now.” Li Hengsheng turned to Chen Guan, speaking as if casually crushing an ant.

“Uh…” Chen Guan was dumbfounded at the scene, his mouth agape, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

What had just happened?

Chen Guan was well aware of how tricky and difficult the Mountain Ghost was to deal with, and yet Li Hengsheng had instantly killed the Mountain Ghost with one shot.

How was this possible?

Also… he was just a disciple at the Postnatal Realm.

This scene left Chen Guan at a loss for words.

“Junior brother, that was a Mountain Ghost, you…” Chen Guan was filled with mixed emotions.

He prided himself on being a seed disciple of genius in the Endless Sect, but Li Hengsheng in front of him made him question his own life.

“Oh.”

Li Hengsheng nodded, “I noticed something different, the physical body was very strong. It took me three spear thrusts to kill it, it was indeed not simple.”

“Pu!”

Chen Guan spat out blood again.

This time he was irritated by Li Hengsheng’s subtle boasting.

“Are you alright?” Li Hengsheng hurriedly supported Chen Guan, saying, “If you’re hurt, head back first. I see your junior sister is also injured.”

“Thank you for saving us.” Though Chen Guan was somewhat frustrated, he still thanked Li Hengsheng and moved to help Yang Si.

However, just then, Li Hengsheng’s expression changed, and he rushed forward to grab Chen Guan and Yang Si, retreating rapidly.

“Boom!”

A tremendous force exploded at Yang Si’s previous position.

A terrifying force swept over, and the airwaves rolled in, making Li Hengsheng and the others feel a chilling aura.

Innate!

There was an Innate-level ghost from the Ghost Race.

“Able to kill a Mountain Ghost at the Postnatal Realm.”

A voice came, as a figure emerged from the ruins, staring at Li Hengsheng, “A human race genius, I love killing such human race geniuses.”

“The blood of human geniuses always tastes good.”

The man’s armor was battered, yet his eyes were particularly sharp.

“Meet your death!”

The Innate Ghost Race individual laughed heartily, his figure drifting ghost-like towards Li Hengsheng, his hand transforming into a ghost claw. Li Hengsheng and his companions felt as if the ghost claw was controlling the space, leaving them no room to dodge.

Li Hengsheng’s expression was grave, readying the Immortal-Extinguishing Spear for action. Regardless, without daring to fight, how would he know if he could survive?

But at that moment, a golden light plummeted from the sky!

The terrifying Sword Qi descended from above, almost splitting the world apart, while a golden sword light divided the street in two!

The Innate Ghost Race individual’s face changed dramatically, attempting to block the sword light, but he had no time to react, his body obliterated in the sword light.

He didn’t even have time to let out a wretched scream.

The Innate Ghost Race individual was instantly killed.

The scene quite shocked the three onlookers.

An Innate-level Ghost Race individual, just like that, perished.

“It’s the Jinglan Sword.” Chen Guan looked up, spotting a sword floating in the sky, exclaiming in surprise, “It was Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable who intervened.”

Li Hengsheng also noticed the sword, glanced around but didn’t see Li Changqing’s figure.

He nonetheless cupped his fist in gratitude toward the Jinglan Sword in the sky.

Next, the Jinglan Sword flew away.

In the base camp, those above the Innate Realm would only take action when encountering Ghost Race individuals beyond the Postnatal Peak Realm, as per regulations.

Li Changqing had been monitoring any potential danger to Li Hengsheng, so when the Innate-level Ghost Race appeared, he acted without hesitation.

His son was merely at the Postnatal Realm; how could he stand against an Innate-level Ghost Race?

The Jinglan Sword flew back into the Sword Box.

Li Changqing’s intervention puzzled many stationed experts.

Generally, when Innate Realm experts emerged, these experts would sense it. If disciples of the Endless Sect encountered Innate Ghost Race members, the Endless Sect experts would act.

If it were Medical King Valley’s disciples, then experts from Medical King Valley would step in.

However, the awkward thing was that the ones in danger were disciples from both the Endless Sect and the Dao Mountain Ancient Land, yet the one who acted was the Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable from Zhanhe Mansion.

This left many feeling baffled.

During the day, the Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable had been protecting Li Hengsheng, and now he again helped Li Hengsheng—what was their relationship?

“Elder.”

At this moment, Kan Chengli, an elder from Zhanhe Mansion, walked up with a wry smile, saying, “The disciple just now belongs to Dao Mountain Ancient Land. When in danger, their own experts were supposed to step in. Wasn’t it overstepping for us to interfere?”

“Does it matter?” Li Changqing casually glanced at Xue Qianbai, then said, “You can ask them if they mind.”

“We don’t mind,” Xue Qianbai said blandly.

“This is…”

Kan Chengli and others said nothing more.

However, Xue Qianbai then commented, “But in such a situation, it would have been better for the Endless Sect to intervene.”

“There were two Endless Sect disciples, but only our Dao Mountain Ancient Land disciple. If anyone should have acted, it should have been the Endless Sect’s Innate experts, not you.”

“That Ghost Race was merely at the Innate level, yet you wasted a chance by intervening, some might say it was extravagant.”

Xue Qianbai seriously explained.

In the Ghostly Realm, each intervention incurred significant consumption. Once True Essence was used, it continued to deplete and would only gradually stop.

This meant even Grandmasters’ interventions were limited to around three times.

Innate Perfection martial artists could make two attempts at best.

Li Changqing’s earlier intervention to kill an Innate-level entity seemed too lavish to Xue Qianbai.

In his view, at most, Li Changqing had two more opportunities for intervention.

This was just the first day.

Who knew what kind of Ghost Race powerhouses might appear later on?

“Alright, I understand.” Li Changqing waved his hand dismissively; he didn’t care because here he didn’t feel any kind of suppression.

So there was no limitation on the number of interventions.

At this time, in a remote pavilion, Ghost Qi was rampant, almost towering, leading one to think it was some ghost den—so dense it was frightening.

But from afar, one could see Ghost Race corpses being flung from the pavilion, accumulating so heavily it was shocking.

Within the pavilion, starlight shone.

A girl faced hundreds of Ghost Race powerhouses alone.

Moving leisurely, her form weaving through hundreds of Ghost Race martial artists, untouched, her palm shimmering with the light of stars, with a single palm strike, she shattered a Ghost Race member instantly.
