"Hmph! This is Three Ghost Mountain. With me, the Three-Headed Ghost King, here, no one is getting up this mountain!"
A furious roar rang across heaven and earth, even scattering the clouds overhead.
Three Ghost Mountain!
The name hardly suited the Blessed Land Three Mountains. Paired with the Three-Headed Ghost King's voice, it swept toward Su Yi and the other demons like a chilling wind, even in broad daylight.
The Three-Headed Ghost King stood five zhang tall, even burlier than King Aisha, whom Su Yi had encountered earlier. At a glance, he looked like a three-headed werewolf. His body was covered in deep-purple fur, and though he stood upright like a man, his heads remained wolfish. He wore armor made of white bone and gripped a bone saber in each hand as he charged forward with a roar.
His roar made Three Ghost Mountain tremble faintly.
Su Yi, charging at the very front, showed no fear. He stepped with the Heaven and Earth Boundless Carefree Steps and was the first to rush at the Three-Headed Ghost King.
Though the Three-Headed Ghost King looked terrifying, Su Yi was no longer mortal.
He feared no enemy now. He would only make his enemies fear him!
The two Demon Kings moved at incredible speed, quickly pulling away from their armies as they charged at one another.
Clang—
The Zhouwu Sword crashed against the Three-Headed Ghost King's two bone sabers, sending bone splinters flying. But this time, Su Yi didn't use his superior strength to overpower his opponent, because the Three-Headed Ghost King's strength was fearsome.
"Not bad. You've got some strength!"
The Three-Headed Ghost King grinned menacingly, then immediately strained with both arms, trying to gain the upper hand in strength.
But Su Yi's strength had already reached Two Hundred Dragon Strength. How could the Three-Headed Ghost King hope to beat him?
With that, Su Yi suddenly unleashed his full power and sent the Three-Headed Ghost King flying with a single sword strike.
The Three-Headed Ghost King flew backward just above the ground, his toes carving a long, narrow furrow. He traveled a full twenty meters before managing to steady himself.
"That kind of strength..."
The Three-Headed Ghost King clicked his tongue in amazement. He had never encountered a Half-Demon with such incredible strength. It was unbelievable.
Seeing Su Yi gain the upper hand, the ten thousand demons erupted with excitement, roaring until their voices were hoarse in an attempt to overwhelm the Demon Army of Three Ghost Mountain.
The Three-Headed Ghost King flew into a rage. His burly body suddenly grew even taller, and the other two heads lolled out their long tongues, their faces twisting into savage snarls. All three pairs of eyes fixed intently on Su Yi.
With a boom, the Three-Headed Ghost King blasted into the air like a cannonball, then swung down at Su Yi, propelled by his tremendous momentum.
Relying on his Two Hundred Dragon Strength, Su Yi refused to retreat. He had to maintain his powerful image and inspire his followers.
Clang!
The Three-Headed Ghost King brought his sabers down. Su Yi raised the Zhouwu Sword to block, but the blow forced his legs to buckle. He nearly fell to his knees, but managed to brace himself in time.
Just then, Luo Zhenhai came rushing in with his saber, vaulting over Su Yi's head in dozens of afterimages.
The Three-Headed Ghost King was startled and hurriedly dodged.
The two armies crashed together like a pair of raging torrents. Demons died in an instant, while howls, battle cries, and curses filled the air.
Su Yi and Luo Zhenhai joined forces against the Three-Headed Ghost King. Their saber and sword fought as one, driving him back again and again until he had no chance to retaliate.
Luo Zhenhai's saber strikes were fierce, while Su Yi's sword was blindingly fast. They had fought together before, and soon developed a tacit understanding in battle. Their figures crossed and recrossed amid flashes of saber and sword, swift as startled swallows.
Boom—
Su Yi followed through by slamming a foot into the ground. Two Hundred Dragon Strength blasted apart the rocks and earth within a hundred-meter radius, injuring hundreds of demons.
He refrained from using even more strength because he was afraid of accidentally injuring his own followers.
The Three-Headed Ghost King suddenly opened his mouths, spitting venom from all three in quick succession. Luo Zhenhai was an extremely seasoned fighter. He dodged swiftly, then spun around and slashed, his saber qi cutting through the Three-Headed Ghost King's bone armor.
Though Luo Zhenhai had lost an arm, he was still a Nascent Soul Cultivator, and was no weaker than Kuang Chu'e.
The Three-Headed Ghost King hadn't surpassed the Supernatural Demon King realm. He was merely one of the top fighters among Supernatural Demon Kings, but could still challenge opponents above his level.
On the other side, Nan Xiaopao slapped both hands onto the ground. Countless vines burst from the earth, sending demon after demon flying.
The Purple-Backed Bear King reverted to his true form. A giant bear with a purple back rampaged across the battlefield, unstoppable as a tank.
The other Humanoid Demons also clashed with the Humanoid Demons of Three Ghost Mountain, fighting to a standstill.
The demons of Three Ghost Mountain were about as numerous as Su Yi's followers, but generally stronger. This gave Three Ghost Mountain the advantage in the lower ranks of the battle.
"I have to kill him quickly!"
Su Yi's eyes turned cold. When seizing someone else's territory, only a fight to the death could cow the enemy.
With that, Su Yi unleashed all his strength.
He had already mastered the Immortal Slashing Heart Sword to a minor level. Once his sword reached its ultimate speed, it became invisible!
Su Yi flicked his right hand. As the Zhouwu Sword quivered at high speed, it vanished from sight, and a gust of sword wind swept up, hurtling toward the Three-Headed Ghost King.
The Three-Headed Ghost King suddenly ducked and burrowed underground, making Su Yi's strike miss.
"Is that the Earth-Evasion Technique?"
Su Yi's expression shifted. This was the first time he had encountered such a spell.
Luo Zhenhai didn't panic. Beneath his bamboo hat, his eyes darted back and forth as he searched for the Three-Headed Ghost King.
At the same time, a caravan of carriages approached from the far end of the grassland. Twenty cultivators rode alongside the caravan as escorts, protecting five carriages: two carried passengers, while three hauled cargo.
"Huh? Demons are fighting up ahead!"
"So many demons. What's that aura? A Supernatural Demon King?"
"Should we take a detour?"
"Wait a bit. Maybe we can reap the rewards after they've fought each other."
The cultivators chattered among themselves. At their head rode a one-eyed man with gaunt cheeks and a cold gaze. He wore a wide gray robe, like some high-ranking official.
He murmured to himself, "A Nascent Soul Cultivator, a Supernatural Demon King, and a Half-Demon with powerful qi and blood. Interesting."
His gaze fell upon Three Ghost Mountain. Could there be treasure on the mountain?
With a boom, the Three-Headed Ghost King burst out of the ground and stabbed both sabers toward Luo Zhenhai. Luo Zhenhai had his back to him, leaving him in grave danger.
Su Yi suddenly threw his sword. Feng Long awoke and burst forth with incredible speed, directly blasting one of the Three-Headed Ghost King's heads apart. The Three-Headed Ghost King howled in pain, giving Luo Zhenhai a chance to turn around.
Shhk!
Luo Zhenhai swung his saber down. Though he hadn't fully adjusted to wielding it with his left hand, he still easily cut off the Three-Headed Ghost King's right arm.
With that slash, he vented his hatred.
It was as if he had made the cut for Su Yi to see.
Su Yi's mouth twitched. He said nothing and continued charging at the Three-Headed Ghost King.
Strike while he's down, and finish him!
The Three-Headed Ghost King was both furious and in pain. His remaining two heads glared at Luo Zhenhai and Su Yi as his left hand swung the bone saber in a panic, with no technique whatsoever.
How could he possibly stand against Su Yi and Luo Zhenhai while grievously wounded?
In fewer than ten breaths, the Three-Headed Ghost King's remaining two heads and left arm were severed as well. Blood spattered across the grassland, and with a boom, his enormous body dropped to its knees before Su Yi and Luo Zhenhai.
The Three-Headed Ghost King was dead!
"Stop fighting!"
Su Yi roared. His voice carried an increasingly oppressive force, and every demon turned to look.
