The Ninth Great Body Tempering

Zhang Lin and the Old Daoist stopped, scanning the two massive figures before them.

Both colossal figures were Mist Ghosts that had already condensed into physical forms.

The Mist Ghost in front resembled a tree demon, possessing somewhat recognizable facial features.

It had two arms similar to human limbs and four short, stubby legs that looked like suction cups.

Currently, it was snatching other Mist Ghosts from all directions and tossing them into its mouth.

The Mist Ghost behind it had only a head, with long black hair.

It had three mouths, two of which were on its face.

At this moment, it was also devouring the surrounding Mist Ghosts with its large mouths.

They stopped when they were still a hundred meters away from the two.

"Let's each pick one!"

Zhang Lin's eyes gleamed with excitement; this was all valuable experience for advancement.

The previous Two-headed Corpse and Evil Buddha statue had been very powerful, and the Old Daoist wasn't a match for them.

But now it was different. Judging solely by their appearance and aura, these two massive Mist Ghosts were slightly weaker than those, comparable in strength to the Blood Shadow Ghost Mother they encountered outside earlier.

"I'll choose the one behind," the Old Daoist said, feeling the Head Mist Ghost was slightly weaker and deciding to pick it.

With that, he tossed out dozens of talismans and produced a spirit sword in his hand.

He then affixed two Swiftness Talismans to his legs and instantly appeared before the Head Mist Ghost.

"Hng!"

The surrounding talismans detonated simultaneously, and dozens of fireballs rained down, engulfing the area in flames.

The nearby Mist Ghosts were incinerated directly.

"Caw..."

Following that, a piercing shriek erupted as Yin energy billowed, the great fire was overturned, and flames spread outwards.

Zhang Lin's side received a large amount of blue-white energy!

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Several whistling sounds shot towards Zhang Lin from all directions.

Zhang Lin dodged two attacks and grabbed the thin branches extended by the Tree Demon Mist Ghost with both hands.

Then, he yanked forward forcefully!

The massive body of the Tree Demon Mist Ghost was directly pulled towards Zhang Lin.

The Tree Demon Mist Ghost hadn't expected the opponent's strength to be so immense, and its reaction was incredibly swift.

While in mid-air, its four short legs instantly elongated, piercing the ground and rooting themselves firmly.

After halting its momentum, its original cherry-like mouth transformed into a gaping maw, and a green energy ball condensed within, spiraling.

When it reached a radius of about seven to eight zhang, it spat it out.

The surrounding Mist Ghosts had already begun to retreat!

The energy ball swept through, melting any Mist Ghosts that couldn't retreat in time, turning them into nourishment for the energy ball, further strengthening it.

By the time it neared Zhang Lin, its diameter had increased by another three zhang.

Its power was immense!

According to Zhang Lin's estimation, it was equivalent to the full-power strike of a Two-headed Corpse!

The surrounding Yin energy churned and surged violently.

Zhang Lin condensed a large amount of blood energy into his right arm, causing the entire limb to glow with a dense red light.

"Boom!"

He punched towards the energy ball. The two collided, and green light enveloped the entire world.

After exchanging blows with the Head Mist Ghost, the Old Daoist also looked towards Zhang Lin's direction.

When the green light dissipated, Zhang Lin was still standing in the arena.

Aside from his torn shirt, he hadn't sustained a single scratch!

"Abnormal!"

The Old Daoist breathed a sigh of relief and charged towards the Head Mist Ghost again.

Zhang Lin looked at his own physique, lost in thought.

He had discovered that his body, after undergoing Great Body Tempering, gradually became more solidified through repeated battles.

During his previous fights with the Two-headed Corpse and the Evil Buddha statue, he had noticed his physical defense steadily increasing with each battle and impact.

Even after enduring this powerful impact again, he remained unharmed, and his body's defense had improved slightly once more.

"Let's end this quickly!"

If you can't find the book by its title, you can try searching for the author. Maybe the title has just been changed!

Zhang Lin flashed and disappeared from his original spot. The next moment he reappeared, he was already above the Tree Demon Mist Ghost!

"Four Symbols: White Tiger: Shatter Void Battle Axe!"

His feet erupted with potent blood energy, and he swung straight down.

The Tree Demon Mist Ghost sensed the danger. Dense branches sprouted all over its body, gathering upwards.

Soon, a circular disk formed above its head.

In the blink of an eye, the disk was covered in numerous mist ghost heads, which charged towards Zhang Lin.

These heads belonged to mist ghosts it had devoured.

A flash of red light streaked across the sky, and the mist ghost heads were evaporated by the blood energy. The disk, along with the Tree Demon Mist Ghost, was split in two.

The two halves of the Tree Demon Mist Ghost extended tentacles, trying to reattach themselves.

However, the severed surfaces were tainted with Zhang Lin's blood energy, preventing them from sticking together. Moreover, the blood energy was continuously eroding its body.

"Ah..."

A scream of intense pain echoed out.

The Tree Demon Mist Ghost was ruthless. It extended two long, thin branches and severed the parts contaminated with Zhang Lin's blood energy.

Finally, the two halves rejoined.

"Hiss..."

The Tree Demon Mist Ghost bared its fangs at Zhang Lin and spat out two streams of green, unknown liquid before turning and fleeing!

"Huh?"

Two large, corroded pits were left behind. Zhang Lin's blood energy erupted again, and he instantly caught up to the Tree Demon Mist Ghost.

His hands condensed red light, and in a flash, he unleashed over a hundred strikes!

The Tree Demon Mist Ghost was dismembered and fell to the ground.

The scattered pieces writhed, attempting to merge once more.

Zhang Lin used his blood energy to suppress them directly!

Before long, the Tree Demon Mist Ghost was ground to dust, leaving no trace.

He absorbed a wisp of blue-white energy.

During his fight with the Tree Demon Mist Ghost, he had also gained a large amount of blue-white energy!

He was one step closer to his next Great Body Tempering!

The Old Daoist and the Head Mist Ghost's battle had already entered a white-hot stage.

The Head Mist Ghost had many tricks up its sleeve, including long hair, tongues, poisonous mist, and sonic waves...

If the Old Daoist hadn't been so experienced and had more talismans, he would have been captured long ago!

However, after a prolonged battle, he was gradually falling into a disadvantage.

At this moment, the Head Mist Ghost unleashed all its abilities. First, it used sonic waves to suppress him, then its long hair to ensnare him, and its tongue to attack.

The Old Daoist was surrounded and fighting precariously!

With one careless move, his limbs were entangled by the long hair, rendering him immobile. A long tongue wrapped around his neck.

One tongue plunged towards his head.

Another tongue dug towards his heart.

The Old Daoist's life was in grave danger!

"Bang!"

As the Old Daoist despaired, the head before him exploded.

"Old Daoist, you still need to cultivate more!"

Zhang Lin said with a smile, looking at the Old Daoist.

"Careful!"

The Old Daoist was about to exclaim, but then he saw a massive spear behind him, piercing towards Zhang Lin like lightning!

It was formed by the Head Mist Ghost using its own Yin Soul as a core, condensed with its long hair. It was incredibly sharp!

The Old Daoist believed he couldn't block it.

Zhang Lin shifted his body slightly and grabbed the spear with his right hand.

A large amount of blood energy surged into the spear, accompanied by a faint electric arc.

"Ah..."

After a guttural roar, the spear transformed back into loose hair and scattered slightly!

Zhang Lin gained another wisp of blue-white energy.

He looked around and unleashed a sonic blast, reaping another wave of blue-white energy.

Suddenly, a powerful surge of blood energy erupted from his body, pushing the Old Daoist back several hundred meters.

The ninth Great Body Tempering had descended!
