Palmfire unleashed, Hundred Ghosts Crossing, Li Xian and the Commandery Princess-one final showdown!
Li Xian had laid scheme upon scheme, ventured into danger, and used himself as bait to lure Wei Qinghuang into a perilous trap. He had relied on the Nine Ghosts of the Heroic Dragon to break through her personal maidservants' protection, but he had never accounted for Shadowless. Left with no choice, he deliberately summoned vicious ghosts and invoked Myriad Ghosts Devouring the Body, bringing a host of ghosts sweeping through the area. With innocent fish caught in the calamity, he turned his desperate situation around.
"What trick are you playing now, you scoundrel?!" Wei Qinghuang demanded, already losing her composure. Li Xian smiled. "I have a splendid gift for you." The sinister wind brushed against Wei Qinghuang, sharply deepening her chill and stirring up her cold injuries. She thought, This boy is so young, yet so difficult to control. Killing him like this won't relieve the hatred in my heart, but keeping him alive may bring further trouble. I must kill him quickly. No more games. Pointing at Li Xian's neck, she shouted, "Cut him down!"
Sword in hand, Shadowless immediately slashed horizontally with astonishing speed. The blade swept through the air without stirring a breeze or making a sound. Already on his guard, Li Xian escaped in a streak of golden light. The surrounding trees and rocks split cleanly apart, and a long trench appeared in the ground. Li Xian fled several yards, still shaken. While his body was golden light, Flicked-Finger Golden Light required no rubbing of his fingers; he simply fired it back. Several soft pops rang out as the rays passed straight through Shadowless without doing the slightest harm.
Li Xian thought, *This one has no physical body. Golden light can't inflict any damage. To cultivate martial arts to such a level is truly terrifying.
