"Boom!"
Thunder shook the heavens. Jiang Qiao moved at blinding speed, unleashing two terrifying lightning dragons in an instant. At the same time, arcs of electricity crisscrossed his body, shattering chunks of rotten flesh.
"Old bastard."
"Quit showing off."
Jiang Qiao snapped softly. Spiraling lightning intertwined into a spear and stabbed viciously at the old man!
"Splat!"
Black light flashed, and black blood gushed out.
The surging thunder was powerful enough to shatter an evil spirit's body and slay a top-level vicious ghost. Yet against the old man, although it blasted him away again, it failed to inflict any serious damage.
Instead.
The strange plants entwined around him began spewing outward, scattering through the void like pollen.
Then.
Dense masses of twisted vines began growing in the void.
The light dimmed.
In the blink of an eye, vines blotted out the sky above the Jade Steps, turning the place into an enormous cage.
"Damned thing."
"Are you a vicious ghost or a plant?"
A stab of pain struck between Jiang Qiao's brows.
His entire mind felt as though some strange force had bound it.
Faced with this sight.
He showed not the slightest fear.
"Boom!"
Lightning burst with dazzling radiance and slammed into the vines.
"Break!"
He swung his fist.
Savage power poured out, blasting the surrounding vines until they blackened and snapped. Black blood spurted from them and splashed across the Jade Steps, a ghastly sight.
"Heh heh!"
"Young man, you really are much stronger than that Huang Tian."
The old man chuckled sinisterly.
"You talk too much."
Breaking out of the cage, Jiang Qiao stepped forward and punched. Thunder erupted around him like a collapsing mountain torrent, surging toward the old man to engulf him!
"Young man."
"You have quite a temper. That's not a good thing."
