At this moment, Black Ghost was so shocked that he was speechless.
Though he had not used his full strength in that strike he had been certain would land, in his eyes, even an ordinary eighth-stage Void Realm expert would not have dared take it head-on.
Yet the fact before him was that a mere Void Refinement Realm slave had brazenly, calmly caught the blow!
"How is that possible?!" Only after a long while did Black Ghost let out a hoarse roar.
The bone hand collapsed, and at the same time, the slave who had caught it withdrew the ghastly white flames.
Only then did Black Ghost and Xia Youming both clearly see that the ghastly white flames were in fact a wheel-shaped magical artifact entirely wreathed in white fire.
The magical artifact floated above the slave's hand, spinning continuously and emanating an exceptionally terrifying aura.
"Who would have thought!" Black Ghost narrowed his eyes. "Who would have thought this direct disciple's residence truly hid crouching tigers and concealed dragons!"
"A single slave can actually block my power!"
The slave smiled faintly. "How wondrous this world is. You and I have seen only the tip of the iceberg!"
"There are still countless things you have never seen!"
"You!" Black Ghost had never imagined that a Void Refinement Realm slave would dare speak to him like this.
"Who are you? What are you plotting by hiding in this direct disciple's residence?"
"And what is your true cultivation level?"
The slave remained utterly calm. "Who I am is truly unimportant."
"As for my cultivation level, are you blind?"
Black Ghost roared, "Impossible! You cannot be in the Void Refinement Realm!"
The slave shook his head. "If you refuse to believe it, what can I do?"
Black Ghost no longer dared act rashly.
