Mo Lingna vs. the Shadow Ghost Emperor (Part One)

Looking at Mo Lingna, who had fused with the Demon Bone, and then at Mo Lingna information, Zhuge Xiang nodded inwardly. The Demon Bone's effects were indeed very strong; her cultivation level had risen accordingly, reaching the Tribulation Crossing Realm. Mo Lingna's HP had also increased to nearly 700,000. Even if her physical strength wasn't as good as Zhuge Xiang's, it wasn't far off.

"Such powerful strength..." Mo Lingna lowered her head, examining her jade-like body, her eyes filled with a mixture of surprise and delight.

After fusing with the Demon Bone, Mo Lingna could feel that her physical body had become incredibly powerful, beyond her own imagination. It seemed that she could tear apart everything in the Void simply by using the power of her physical body.

"Hehehe, this body is not only powerful, but also very beautiful..." Seeing that Mo Lingna's Demon Bone fusion was over and her strength had greatly increased, Zhuge Xiang was also happy. However, as he spoke, his eyes were burning as he stared at Mo Lingna's naked body.

Mo Lingna understood the meaning behind Zhuge Xiang's words perfectly. Even though she had always acted very assertive in front of Zhuge Xiang, and had even gone so far as to force Zhuge Xiang into marriage, at this moment, two blushes still rose on her cheeks. She lowered her head, somewhat afraid to meet Zhuge Xiang's burning gaze.

"The next battle is between Mo Lingna and the Shadow Ghost Emperor."

However, just as Zhuge Xiang reached out and pulled Mo Lingna into his arms, a majestic voice resounded throughout the entire Sole Dominance Mountain. It was the Great Emperor who presided over the Sacred War. Although the voice was not particularly loud, everyone on Sole Dominance Mountain could hear it clearly.

"Alright. Hurry up and participate in the Duel. Let me see how much your strength has increased after fusing with the Demon Bone," Zhuge Xiang said to Mo Lingna, though he was annoyed by being interrupted. However, he wasn't the kind of person who thought with his lower body.

"Okay," Mo Lingna nodded, putting on her clothes one by one, feeling helpless.

After getting dressed, the two went straight to the peak of Sole Dominance Mountain. Sure enough, a tall and agile Asura Emperor was already waiting for Mo Lingna.

"Shadow Ghost Emperor, Golden Boss," Zhuge Xiang's Data Eye scanned the tall, slender, and restrained Asura Emperor. The information he obtained surprised Zhuge Xiang. Golden Boss- level Asura Emperor, it seems this is a tough nut to crack.

"This Mo Lingna, despite being the Asura King, possesses strength no less than that of the Asura Emperor. She is truly a rare genius. It's a pity, though, that she encountered the Shadow Ghost Emperor," someone murmured on Sole Dominance Mountain, feeling sorry for Mo Lingna.

"Indeed, the Shadow Ghost Emperor is the closest in strength to the Five Emperors in our Asura Path. His unpredictable speed makes even the Asura Emperor unwilling to offend him easily. Mo Lingna's Luck in encountering him is truly not good."

"The battle hasn't even started yet, how can you make such a decision so easily? Although she is the Asura King, didn't Zhuge Xiang defeat the White Bone Emperor with the strength of the Asura King before? Can you guarantee that Mo Lingna can't do it?"

"That being said, a genius like Zhuge Xiang is a rare find even in our Asura Path, appearing only once every few thousand years. Do you really expect such geniuses to be everywhere?"

Zhuge Xiang heard every word of the discussions surrounding Mo Lingna and the Shadow Ghost Emperor.

No wonder he's Golden Boss Rank existence. This Shadow Ghost Emperor is so renowned in the Asura Path, second only to the Five Emperors. His strength is not far from that of the White Bone Emperor and others.

"However, this is just right. Let's see how much strength we've achieved after the Demon Bone have fused..." Although the Shadow Ghost Emperor's strength surprised Zhuge Xiang immediately thought it was perfect.

Even among the powerful figures on Sole Dominance Mountain, the Asura Emperor are the elite. Mo Lingna's victory in the previous battle demonstrates that she possesses strength at the Asura Emperor level. Now, after fusing with the Demon Bone, her maximum HP has increased by 500,000, and her physical attack and defense have also increased by 50,000. Her strength has undergone a qualitative leap. Although the Shadow Ghost Emperor is strong, Mo Lingna may still be a formidable opponent.

"Huh? This little one's strength has suddenly increased a lot, especially her physical body, which is much stronger. What's going on?" Everyone present was a top expert of the Asura Path, and the Nine Great Emperor, upon seeing Mo Lingna, naturally sensed her unusual nature and were all secretly puzzled.

"The Duel begins!" Although puzzled as to why Mo Lingna's body had become so powerful in such a short time, the Great Emperor in charge of the Sacred War did not say much. He simply looked at Mo Lingna with a puzzled expression and then announced loudly.

Swish...

Without any preamble, as the Great Emperor presiding over the Sacred War announced the outcome, Mo Lingna chose to strike first. Her body transformed into a swift shadow, and she used the Fox Demon Step to appear before the Shadow Ghost Emperor like a ghost.

The fist was thrown out, but the aura contained within it was terrifying; it was none other than the Bull Demon Fist, the most powerful attack among the Nine Beast Forbidden Canon.

Faintly, Ox Bellow could be heard. Facing Mo Lingna's punch, the Shadow Ghost Emperor's expression changed. At the same time, he lightly tapped the ground a few times with his toes, his figure gliding past the edge of Mo Lingna's punch at an incredible angle, as if in a dream.

"This guy is so fast..." A skilled person can tell at a glance. The Shadow Ghost Emperor almost grazed past her fist, causing Mo Lingna to frown slightly, realizing that the Shadow Ghost Emperor's speed seemed to be even faster than her Fox Demon Step.

"Your speed is quite impressive; even within the entire Asura Path, it's among the best. But unfortunately, my speed is slightly faster than yours."

Just as Mo Lingna's heart sank and she felt troubled by the Shadow Ghost Emperor's speed, an unfamiliar male voice rang out behind Mo Lingna. Who else could it be but the Shadow Ghost Emperor?

Hearing the voice behind her, Mo Lingna's expression changed slightly. Almost reflexively, a layer of light, like that of a Xuan Turtle, appeared on her body. The ethereal turtle shell was solid, and many Profound Mysteries Runes could be clearly seen on it. It was filled with an ancient and profound feeling— the Turtle Demon Armor.

Bang...

The Shadow Ghost Emperor, wielding a dagger as transparent as flowing water, pierced the Turtle Demon Armor. A crisp sound rang out, and cracks instantly appeared all over the Turtle Demon Armor. The sharp dagger pierced a small hole in the Turtle Demon Armor and then into Mo Lingna's shoulder. Crimson blood gushed out instantly from her shoulder, soaking Mo Lingna's clothes.

Lion Demon Roar!

Having pierced her own Turtle Demon Armor with a single blow and injured herself, Mo Lingna had no mind to care about her injury. In the midst of the excruciating pain, her cherry-like mouth opened, and a completely incongruous lion's roar burst forth from Mo Lingna's mouth. At close range, this deep and powerful lion's roar caused the Shadow Ghost Emperor's consciousness to go blank for a moment.

Although the Shadow Ghost Emperor's consciousness went blank for only a very short moment, in a battle between powerful beings, that one moment is enough.

After the Lion Demon Roar stunned the Shadow Ghost Emperor, almost simultaneously, Mo Lingna's fair fingers slightly curled, and her fingertips, like sword blades, emitted a sharp aura as she fiercely clawed down at the Shadow Ghost Emperor.

Splash...

The Shadow Ghost Emperor, who was originally wearing a thin, close-fitting leather armor, had five long gashes appear on his body after being torn apart by Mo Lingna's Eagle Demon Claw.

Several streaks of blood gushed from the crack. Almost simultaneously, Mo Lingna used the Fox Demon Step to retreat rapidly, dodging the Shadow Ghost Emperor's possible next attack.

It seemed that the two were exchanging blows, and the movements were quite complicated, but in reality, it all happened in the blink of an eye. The two were just testing each other with their moves, and overall, they seemed to be evenly matched. The Shadow Ghost Emperor injured Mo Lingna, and Mo Lingna's Eagle Demon Claw also injured the Shadow Ghost Emperor.

The Lion Demon Roar's Roar had a devastating effect that lasted only a very short moment. After recovering from the shock of the Lion Demon Roar, the Shadow Ghost Emperor looked down at the wounds on his body. Instead of getting angry, he burst into laughter, his laughter filled with a feeling of unbridled joy.

Staring at the Shadow Ghost Emperor laughing loudly before her, Mo Lingna was wary, but also puzzled. She didn't understand why the Shadow Ghost Emperor was laughing. The powerful figures on Sole Dominance Mountain glances, equally confused about what the Shadow Ghost Emperor was up to.

However, the Shadow Ghost Emperor's laughter, though puzzling, still secretly surprised the powerful figures on Sole Dominance Mountain Shadow Ghost Emperor they tested Mo Lingna other.

To ordinary people, it might seem that Mo Lingna and the Shadow Ghost Emperor would part ways at the first sign of trouble, but those who were able to participate in the Sacred War and remain until now are all top figures in the Asura Path. The powerful figures on Sole Dominance Mountain could clearly see the test between the two.

Who is the Shadow Ghost Emperor? A top expert in the Asura Path, second only to the Five Emperors in strength. His unpredictable speed is so great that even Five Emperors are unwilling to provoke him. But after just a brief test, Mo Lingna actually held her own? How is that possible? The Shadow Ghost Emperor is not on the same level as the Asura Emperor that Mo Lingna defeated before.

"I underestimated you. You're not just fast, but you also have a variety of strange moves. That's great! Now I can fight you with all my might..." After a loud laugh, the Shadow Ghost Emperor spoke.

He laughed because Mo Lingna was capable of fighting him with all her might.

Upon hearing the Shadow Ghost Emperor's words, the powerful figures on Sole Dominance Mountain all wore expressions of admiration, to varying degrees. In any case, someone who could dedicate themselves so wholeheartedly to battle was worthy of respect. In the Asura Path, strength was revered, but those who held a devout heart towards battle were even more admirable. (To be continued...)
