"Can you still fight?"
Standing in front of Lu Hanxue, Lin Yi asked quietly.
Lu Hanxue wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth without answering.
But her gradually straightening body made her intentions clear.
Buzz, buzz, buzz.
The snowflakes trembled in waves.
In an instant, they turned into icicles and shot into the air.
Crack!
With a light flick of Blood Ghost's red whip, every icicle shattered in a single strike.
Under cover of the icicles.
Lu Hanxue had already approached Blood Ghost, sword in hand.
A cold gleam flashed along the blue-green blade.
Lu Hanxue stepped on the ice.
"Freeze!"
Lu Hanxue let out a sharp cry.
Ice encased Blood Ghost in the blink of an eye.
Shing.
Lu Hanxue slashed her sword.
Crack, crack, crack.
The sound of breaking ice rang out at the same time.
Blood Ghost raised the Bone Whip high.
Bang.
The Bone Whip was more than a whole level faster than Lu Hanxue.
Before Lu Hanxue's sword could reach her opponent, the Bone Whip struck her hard again, sending her arcing through the air and crashing into the wall.
But as Lu Hanxue charged.
Lin Yi had also activated Otherworldly Walking.
He leaped up onto the big-headed entity's head.
While Blood Ghost attacked Lu Hanxue.
The coldly gleaming Blade of Greed had already closed in on Blood Ghost's neck.
Rip.
The sharp Blade of Greed had never failed.
Blood Ghost's head separated from its body.
Got it!
Joy rose in Lin Yi's heart.
But the next moment, every hair on his body stood on end.
Though only its torso remained, Blood Ghost swung the Bone Whip back at him.
With its other hand, it grabbed its head, which was wreathed in bloody mist, and forcibly pressed it onto its severed neck.
An intense bloody light flashed.
The severed neck was restored.
"Fuck."
Lin Yi activated Otherworldly Walking again.
He did not flee.
Space rippled, and Lin Yi appeared behind Blood Ghost.
"Divine Thief Sequence-Plunder!"
This was Divine Thief's fourth skill, which Lin Yi had always kept as his trump card, never revealing it to anyone.
Plunder could suppress an opponent's supernatural abilities for a short time.
But the stronger the opponent, the shorter that time would be.
As Plunder activated, the blood-red light surrounding Blood Ghost abruptly dispersed.
Its body also stiffened for an instant.
Seizing that opening, Lin Yi thrust the Blade of Greed straight at its temple.
Whoosh!
Unfortunately, against something as powerful as Blood Ghost.
Plunder lasted only a second before the bloody light enveloped it again.
The swinging Bone Whip rose once more.
But one second was enough.
Lin Yi's Blade of Greed had already pierced Blood Ghost's temple.
He twisted it hard.
"Aah!"
A piercing scream escaped Blood Ghost's mouth.
Its body rapidly melted like a puddle of blood.
"Fucking awesome!" Li Jie couldn't help shouting at the sight, his eyes brimming with excitement.
Even the aloof Lu Hanxue's eyes flashed with surprise.
"Your turn."
Lin Yi looked at the large black head beneath his feet and was about to pierce it.
Splash.
Blood abruptly enveloped the big head.
Pop.
A faint bursting sound rang out.
The big head exploded without warning.
Lin Yi plunged toward the ground.
What's going on?
At the sight, a bad feeling rose in his heart.
The next moment, a wave of crimson surged from the edge of his vision.
As it drew closer, it revealed itself as a sea of blood.
The sea of blood churned, countless drowned, blood-red vengeful ghosts flailing within it.
They screamed shrilly.
They surfaced, then sank again.
Their faces were twisted, their hands flailing constantly.
The sea of blood rapidly approached.
Lin Yi's face went white.
He had never seen anything on this scale.
Above the sea of blood, a three-meter-tall woman walked barefoot toward them.
Her whole body was blood-red, and each step made the vengeful ghosts in the sea of blood scream even more miserably.
Blood Ghost's second form!
The thought appeared unbidden in Lin Yi's mind.
Blood Ghost reached for her neck with one hand.
Crack, crack.
The blood-red Bone Whip was actually her spine!
"Good lord, is this really something we can beat?"
Li Jie's face instantly turned deathly pale, all his earlier excitement gone.
Lu Hanxue forced herself to stand. Even someone as strong as her was like an ant before this sea of blood.
The sea of blood spread extremely quickly, engulfing all three of them within moments.
"Aah!"
"Aah!"
Piercing screams surged through the sea of blood.
Twisted vengeful ghosts reached toward the three of them, as though trying to drag them into the sea of blood.
Boom!
Li Jie shattered a vengeful ghost with a punch.
The vengeful ghost burst into blood.
Then it re-formed in the sea of blood.
"Looks like we're going to die here." Li Jie's voice was filled with unwillingness. "What did I ever do to deserve running into an entity this powerful?"
Lin Yi had no intention of waiting to die.
He activated Otherworldly Walking and rapidly approached Blood Ghost.
But this time, something different happened.
Just as he was about to reach Blood Ghost.
Blood Ghost abruptly turned her head.
The big head's Scarlet Blood Eye had actually fused with the top of her head.
It was as though Blood Ghost had opened a third eye.
Crack, crack, crack.
Cracks appeared in space.
Lin Yi, who was using Otherworldly Walking, fell out without warning.
"Fuck!"
Before Lin Yi could even cry out, the Bone Whip was already before his eyes.
Boom!
The Bone Whip smashed down hard.
Lin Yi did not even have time to register what had happened.
He was smashed straight into a cloud of bloody mist.
"Lin Yi..."
Li Jie's eyes bulged.
Lin Yi had been the only one with a chance of killing the entity.
Yet he hadn't even survived a single exchange.
Li Jie's heart turned completely cold.
"We're dead, dead, dead! Young lady, do you have any other tricks left?"
"No." Lu Hanxue's voice remained largely emotionless.
"Save me, save me..."
The vengeful ghosts howled, continuously emerging from the sea of blood.
The two of them were struggling even to deal with these vengeful ghosts now.
But just then.
Bloody mist appeared where Lin Yi had died.
Lin Yi immediately activated Otherworldly Walking, trying to approach Blood Ghost.
Bang!
It did nothing.
He was smashed into fragments that filled the air once again.
Blood Ghost was too strong.
So strong that he had no opportunity to unleash Plunder a second time.
But after being killed this time.
Lin Yi discovered to his surprise.
His Saint Mother Sequence had actually advanced!
The Sequence 2 Holy Mother had four skills in total.
The first ability was still death substitution.
The second ability was transposition, swapping places with the Substitute Ghost at the moment of death!
The third ability was Conversion: Holy Mother Nangong made anyone she touched stupid.
By activating the ability and touching an entity, he could convert it and bring it under his control.
Converted entities had loyalty, and the stronger the entity, the lower its loyalty.
Below ten loyalty, there was a chance it would kill its master; at zero loyalty, it would break free of control outright.
The final ability was Purification.
The Holy Mother would purify all filth in the world!
At the moment of his death, Lin Yi activated his ability.
The unfortunate Skinning Ghost serving as his death substitute had still been at the entrance to Ice and Snow City.
Its vision blurred, and it appeared behind Blood Ghost, bewildered.
"Holy shit."
The instant the Skinning Ghost saw the Blood Ghost, he could only express what he felt with two words he had learned from humans.
His knees buckled, and he dropped straight to his knees in the Sea of Blood.
"If I said I didn't mean to come here..."
"Would you believe me...?"
