"Zzzt~" Yue Shuang, Ghost King's Soul Body floated in midair as waves of black mist surged around her. Her breathtakingly beautiful face was now filled with astonishment as she stared at Lin Bai, a trace of reminiscence in her eyes. At the moment she had been about to devour Lin Bai, she had suddenly sensed a force surging from within him that nearly reduced her Soul Body to ashes.
"Divine lightning..." Two words suddenly surfaced in Yue Shuang, Ghost King's heart. Though ghost cultivators were naturally wary of the power of thunder, that did not mean they feared all thunder. Even profound and unfathomable ghost cultivators looked down on ordinary bolts of lightning. What they truly feared were powers like the Divine Lightning and heavenly lightning within Lin Bai!
The cultivation of ghost cultivators was far more arduous than that of humans and the Demon Race, because there were too many forces that could restrain them—thunder, for instance, and true fire. Thus, nearly all ghost cultivators were willing to crawl into shadowy places and dared not enter the mortal world casually, lest powerful experts annihilate them with thunder and flames.
"Crow, looks like you were right. The Five Elements Divine Lightning really does restrain ghost cultivators!" Seeing the astonishment and fear on Yue Shuang, Ghost King's face, Lin Bai immediately smiled sidelong and spoke softly to Crow.
"To ghost cultivators, thunder and true fire are practically their deadliest poisons!" Crow grinned. "Little Yue Shuang, stop putting up a pointless resistance and surrender!"
As he spoke, Crow leaped up and landed on the Soul Refining Banner. A glimmer of light appeared in his pitch-black eyes, and the Soul Refining Banner began moving of its own accord. Nine chains spread out from within it and shot toward Yue Shuang, Ghost King.
