Unlimited Explosive Steps vs. Ghost Shadow King

Upon hearing Ghost Shadow King's words, Zhuge Xiang was secretly shocked. This Infant Explosion Bomb was actually made from the Nascent Soul of a Void Returning Stage Cultivator? Its power was comparable to the Self-Detonation Void Returning Stage Cultivator?

Zhuge Xiang now finally understood why Wu Xuemei dared to come to Demon Hand Mountain despite knowing there were two Asura King there; it turned out she possessed such a trump card.

The Void Returning Stage is the pinnacle of cultivation in the entire Cultivation World. Even Large Sect like the Asura Sect only has a hundred Void Returning Stage Cultivator. Yet this Infant Explosion Bomb is made using the Nascent Soul of a Void Returning Stage Cultivator. This single explosion consumes the life force of a Void Returning Stage powerhouse. The Infant Explosion Bomb is truly a grand undertaking.

How terrifying would the Self-Detonation of a Void Returning Stage expert be? Zhuge Xiang didn't know, nor did he want to know. Looking at the Infant Explosion Bomb in Wu Xuemei's hand, Zhuge Xiang was even more astonished. How did she possess such a terrifying thing?

Moreover, how ruthless must it be to turn the nascent Nascent Soul of a Void Returning Stage expert into a one-time-use Nascent Infant Explosion Bomb?

"Go..." Wu Xuemei gave Zhuge Xiang a signal, holding the Infant Explosion Bomb as a threat, and slowly retreated out of Demon Hand Mountain. Zhuge Xiang's strength was quite good, and he was able to withstand Ghost Shadow King's attacks one after another, which made Wu Xuemei unwilling to give up such a powerful subordinate.

Zhuge Xiang remained silent, but also watched Ghost Shadow King warily as he followed Wu Xuemei out of Demon Hand Mountain.

Zhuge Xiang wasn't the type to gamble with his life; he had no confidence in facing the Zhuge Xiang Asura King. Naturally, he left with Wu Xuemei.

"What? Did I agree to let you leave?" However, just as Zhuge Xiang and Wu Xuemei were about to leave the area of Demon Hand Mountain, suddenly, Ghost Shadow King's sinister voice rang out. The ethereal voice seemed to come from all directions, and it seemed to be right next to their ears.

A look of horror flashed in Wu Xuemei's eyes. She turned to look at the approaching Ghost Shadow King and shouted sharply, "Ghost Shadow King, are you really prepared to perish together with us?"

The Infant Explosion Bomb was made by a Nascent Soul cultivator at the Void Returning Stage. Once it explodes, its power is comparable to the Self-Detonation of Void Returning Stage cultivator. It is believed that Ghost Shadow King, whose cultivation is comparable to that of a Nascent Soul Stage, should not be able to withstand it.

But judging from his words, it seemed he wouldn't let me leave? Was he willing to die together with me to kill me? Or did he have other means to withstand the Infant Explosion Bomb's attack?

"Haha, you overestimate yourself. You think you can threaten me with the Infant Explosion Bomb?" Ghost Shadow King said to Wu Xuemei with a sarcastic smile on his face, as if the Infant Explosion Bomb was not taken seriously at all.

"Stop trying to be mysterious. The power of the Infant Explosion Bomb is such that even someone who has just begun to understand the Heavenly Laws might not be able to withstand it, let alone you," Ghost Shadow King said confidently. Although Wu Xuemei was secretly alarmed by Ghost Shadow King's confidence, she still believed that he was absolutely incapable of withstanding the power of the Infant Explosion Bomb.

"That's right, you're not wrong. I really can't withstand the power of the Infant Explosion Bomb," to everyone's surprise, Ghost Shadow King nodded in agreement with Wu Xuemei's words.

However, his next words made Human Heart Zhuge Xiang and Wu Xuemei's hearts skip a beat. "However, although my title of Ghost Shadow King is mainly due to my identity as Ghost Cultivator, don't forget that my greatest strength is speed. I can't block the Infant Explosion Bomb, but I don't think it will be a problem to stop you before you activate Infant Explosion Bomb."

"What!?" Ghost Shadow King's words made Wu Xuemei change in horror. In that instant of her daze, Ghost Shadow King moved, flashed past, and appeared out of thin air in front of Wu Xuemei.

Like a ghostly claw, it reached for the Infant Explosion Bomb in Wu Xuemei's palm, its speed seemingly even faster than Wu Xuemei's thoughts...

"Oh no..." Wu Xuemei was horrified as the Ghost Shadow King's hand was right in front of her in an instant.

The opponent's speed was simply too fast; he was in front of me in the blink of an eye. He actually kept his word; his speed was so great that I couldn't even activate the Infant Explosion Bomb.

Bite!

Just as Wu Xuemei was caught off guard and the Infant Explosion Bomb was about to be snatched away by Ghost Shadow King, suddenly, a sword appeared as if by divine intervention, blocking Ghost Wu Xuemei Ghost Shadow King's hand.

The sword belonged to Zhuge Xiang. With Block Prediction, the Ghost Shadow King was fast, but Zhuge Xiang's Explosive Steps was equally swift. With an Explosive Steps and a Skill Block Prediction, Zhuge Xiang successfully blocked the Ghost Shadow King's hand once again, ruining his plan to seize the Infant Explosion Bomb.

"Hmph, let's see how many moves you can withstand!" Ghost Shadow King's face was filled with intense anger as he watched Zhuge Xiang block his attack once again.

An incredibly powerful aura emanated from his body. The terrifying aura caused Zhuge Xiang's Sword Soul to almost dim. At the same time, the Ghost Shadow King's speed increased by another third, and it reached out with another claw towards the Infant Explosion Bomb.

"Explosive Steps!" Zhuge Xiang moved with incredible speed. In this life-or-death situation, Zhuge Xiang couldn't care less about anything else. He grabbed Wu Xuemei beside him and activated Explosive Steps again, narrowly avoiding the claws of the Ghost Shadow King once more.

Having taken the Super Spirit Qi Secret Medicine, Zhuge Xiang could unleash all system-related Skill without cooldown or cost.

Explosive Steps, Explosive Steps, Explosive Steps...

The Explosive Steps continued to be unleashed under Zhuge Xiang's feet, and the sky above Demon Hand Mountain was instantly filled with the figures of the two.

On Demon Hand Mountain, thousands of Asura and Female Rakshasa looked up at the sky. The sky above Demon Hand Mountain was completely filled with the figures of the two. Often, before the afterimages of the two had disappeared, thousands of afterimages would already appear.

"No... this is impossible... there is actually someone whose speed can keep up with Lord Ghost Shadow King?" Asura couldn't help but speak up, looking at Zhuge Xiang in the sky holding Wu Xuemei, whose speed was no less than that of Ghost Shadow King.

The other Asura and Female Rakshasa nodded in agreement, their mouths agape in shock, wide enough to fit a large fist.

"This... this..." Not to mention the Asura and Female Rakshasa, even Wu Xuemei couldn't believe her eyes as she looked at Zhuge Xiang, who was holding her.

It was already astonishing that he could withstand several swift attacks from the Ghost Shadow King, but no one expected him to be able to do this.

Ghost Shadow King? His speed is indeed terrifying, but Zhuge Xiang's cultivation is only at the True Essence Realm, yet his speed is no less than that of Ghost Shadow King. In Wu Xuemei's opinion, perhaps the title of Ghost Shadow King is more suitable for Zhuge Xiang.

Although the Super Spirit Qi Secret Medicine was powerful, its effect only lasted for one minute. After dodging Ghost Shadow King's attacks hundreds of times while holding Wu Xuemei, Zhuge Xiang shook his hands, sending Wu Xuemei flying. At the same time, the Infant Explosion Bomb appeared in his hands.

"Stop! Do you really want me to detonate it? I'm not even at the Void Returning Stage yet. To be able to take an Asura King down with me is an honor even in death..." Holding the Infant Explosion Bomb in both hands, Zhuge Xiang shouted at Ghost Shadow King in a frenzied voice, like a madman driven to desperation.

"...", Wu Xuemei's threat had no effect whatsoever. Ghost Shadow King, confident in his own speed, did not take her threat seriously. However, Zhuge Xiang's threat was different.

Having dodged hundreds of attacks, Ghost Shadow King had to admit that Zhuge Xiang's speed was no less than his own, so he dared not ignore the threat posed by Zhuge Xiang.

"Don't be impulsive. Do you know how much I admire you? Hand over the Infant Explosion Bomb, and I'll grant you the title of second-in-command of Demon Hand Mountain, how about that?" Seeing Zhuge Xiang acting like a cornered mad dog, Ghost Shadow King didn't dare gamble with his own life and hurriedly spoke to Zhuge Xiang.

"I just want to leave," Zhuge Xiang said, staring intently at Ghost Shadow King, showing no intention of continuing the idle chatter.

Knowing that the Asura King was known for its speed, Zhuge Xiang dared not relax even for a moment. Moreover, he didn't have many of his Super Spirit Qi Secret Medicine left, and he couldn't afford to waste them all here.

"Aren't you going to consider it? Look at all these Asura and Female Rakshasa below. If you agree, you'll be the second-in-command of Demon Hand Mountain. You can even use the Demonic Qi overflowing from the Demon Hand to cultivate." Hearing that Zhuge Xiang rejected him without even considering it, Ghost Shadow King frowned slightly and still said to Zhuge Xiang, unwilling to give up.

Thousands of Asura and Female Rakshasa —this is the temptation of power. The Demonic Qi of the Demon Arm of Demon Hand Mountain —this is the temptation of cultivation resources. Even the Great Strength King was excluded. Ghost Shadow King appointed Zhuge Xiang as the second-in-command of Demon Hand Mountain, which shows how much he values Zhuge Xiang.

"No, my mind is made up, don't waste time..." Zhuge Xiang said firmly.

A mere identity within the Asura Path could bind him? In Zhuge Xiang's view, the Asura Path was merely a training ground, a stepping stone on his path of cultivation; why would he linger there?

However, before Zhuge Xiang could speak, suddenly, an immense and terrifying Divine Might pressure erupted from the Ghost Shadow King's body.

Boom!

At this moment, it was as if the Heaven and Earth had exploded. On Demon Hand Mountain, thousands of Asura and Female Rakshasa screamed in agony. Some vomited blood and fainted, while others were crushed to death, their corpses flying everywhere. Ghost Shadow King's sudden attack was too powerful and caught everyone off guard.

Even Zhuge Xiang felt as if his head had been hit hard with a hammer. For a moment, he was stunned. The divine sword in his Purple Mansion Spiritual Platform suddenly developed dozens of cracks and was almost completely shattered.

The Ghost Shadow King had just spoken, but it was merely stalling for time, preparing for his current move... (To be continued...)
