However, he was determined to kill the person himself, but Huang Tao did not act immediately because he wanted to see Shen Ge's trump card or whether there was an ambush, so that the Golden Core Ghost King could take the fall if something unexpected happened.

The defensive shield was instantly burned to ashes by the Ghost King's Yin Fire. Before Shen Ge could make a move, a pale, delicate hand holding a dripping blood knife emerged from an eerie angle.

Shen Ge remained calm, raised his hand and grabbed the delicate hand, while simultaneously turning his body to easily dodge the other ghostly claw.

The red-clad female ghost wasn't too afraid of his golden aura covering her body, but being unafraid was one thing, but what needed to be suppressed still had to be suppressed.

Shen Ge swung his sword upwards with a backhand motion, causing the red-clad female ghost's skirt to sway, elongating her body and barely dodging Shen Ge's sword light.

But Shen Ge was holding her hand, so she couldn't run away even if she wanted to.

Seizing the opportunity, Shen Ge unleashed several more sword strikes. Although the red-clad female ghost tried her best to dodge, she was still cleaved in two by one of the Sword Qi.

At this moment, the ghost king spat out another mouthful of yin fire. Shen Ge glanced at it coldly and immediately withdrew. He would not withstand an attack of this magnitude unless absolutely necessary.

The figure of the woman in red appeared not far away, but at this moment her body was much dimmer and became illusory, far less solid than before.

"My beloved bride, please come back." A pang of heartache appeared on the withered face of the White Bone Mountain disciple who had summoned the red-clad female ghost. He took out his flag and with a single move, he retrieved the red-clad female ghost. After all, the red-clad female ghost was extremely fragile at this moment, and even the slightest bump or knock could cause her to completely dissipate.

The Ghost King suddenly leaped up, his heavy body crashing down on Shen Ge. Shen Ge didn't meet the attack head-on, but simply dodged to the side.

After several repetitions, the ghost king became increasingly agitated, and his actions became more and more chaotic.

Shen Ge ignored the Ghost King and instead focused his attention on the three disciples of White Bone Mountain. Dealing with the Ghost King would be difficult, but dealing with the three of them would be much easier. Moreover, the Ghost King was summoned by them, so killing the three of them would render the Ghost King powerless.

"Damn it, that guy's got his eye on us." One of the White Bone Mountain disciples cursed grimly, a strange flush appearing on his already emaciated face.

Shen Ge raised his hand and flicked it, sending a full twenty Violent Talismans flying towards the three opponents.

"Damn! Twenty Burst Talisman!"

The disciple with the chains looked terrified, then took out a high-grade defensive shield to protect himself, and also affixed two Golden Body Talisman to his body.

"Damn it! Are you only thinking about yourself?!" The one with the black claws cursed a few times with a dark face, then took out a high-grade defensive magic Law Artifact to protect himself firmly.

As for the person who had offered shelter earlier, he had already withdrawn his shield and held it in front of himself. He had no intention of caring about the safety of the other two.

"Bang!"

A series of explosions rang out, and a wave of heat dissipated the surrounding Yin Qi, allowing the blocked sunlight to shine in.

Three dark figures flew out in three different directions, all enveloped in black smoke, clearly indicating they had been badly damaged by the explosion.

Shen Ge moved swiftly, dodging the Ghost King's attack, and transformed into a Qingfeng, rushing straight towards one of them. With a Sword Qi his Golden Light Sword, the figure still in mid-air shattered into a bloody mist.

The other two were already severely injured and were nothing more than lambs to the slaughter for Shen Ge, so they soon went to hell.

After dealing with these people, Shen Ge put away their Storage Bag before turning to look at the Ghost King who was relentlessly pursuing him.

On the other side, inside the city.

Song Junjie was panting heavily. There were corpses all around him, and he himself was injured.

However, the man on the other side was not faring well either. Surrounded by seven people, he had lost an arm and was riddled with holes, leaving him with little power to resist.

Is this the strength of a sect disciple? Seven against one, and they still managed to kill six of them, and even I almost...

Song Junjie thought in shock, but he had to admit that the resources possessed by the sect disciples were far beyond what they, Rogue Cultivator, could compare to, so it was only natural that they were stronger.

That's what he thought in his heart, but he didn't say it aloud, "You scum of the demonic path, you're so arrogant!"

The man opposite him spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes icy cold as he said, "It's nothing but the cheers of insects. In our White Bone Mountain, insects like you only deserve to become nourishment in the Corpse-Raising Grounds."

Upon hearing the word "insect," Song Junjie became completely enraged. He could tolerate it before, but now that the man was about to die, he still dared to be so arrogant. It was truly infuriating!

"What, are the insects angry?" the White Bone Mountain disciple sneered. "Indeed, the insects have turned the tables."

"You bastard, your mouth is as black as your heart!" Song Junjie cursed, then summoned his flying sword and beheaded him. At the same time, to prevent his body from emitting poisonous gas, he set it on fire and burned it to ashes.

In the air, Huang Tao frowned as he watched Shen Ge outmaneuver the Ghost King. This Ghost King was still too foolish. If this continued, although Shen Ge couldn't kill it, it might call for help. Once those two women arrived, he wouldn't have a chance to make a move.

Therefore, Huang Tao hesitated for a moment before making his move. He pointed a finger, and a red Sword Qi shot straight towards Shen Ge. The Sword Qi did not carry any great power; instead, it was very calm and unremarkable.

Shen Ge, who was dodging the Ghost King's attack, suddenly changed his expression, and the hairs on his body stood on end. Without turning his head, he directly summoned five top-grade defensive magic Law Artifact and used his intuition to block behind him.

"Puff... puff... puff..."

Four top-grade defensive magic Law Artifact were pierced on the spot. The red sword light barely passed through the last top-grade defensive magic Law Artifact and struck Shen Ge. However, Shen Ge was covered by the Golden Light Incantation at this time, making his defense the strongest. Therefore, the sword light, whose residual power had dissipated, did not harm him.

Huang Tao!

After Shen Ge roared, he looked up at the sky and saw a figure looming in and out of sight. That person was none other than Huang Tao, whom he wished he could tear apart!

"Fellow Daoist Shen, don't get distracted! Quickly dodge, or you'll be torn to pieces," Huang Tao said with a faint smile, his face showing no sign of wanting to kill Shen Ge.

"Roar!"

The Ghost King's claws reached out towards Shen Ge, who had just been Spirit Severing by Shen Ge Huang Tao's attack. At that moment, the claws appeared above his head.

Shen Ge glared angrily at Huang Tao, and with a flick of his hands, another top-grade defensive magic Law Artifact appeared above his head. This Law Artifact naturally couldn't stop the Ghost King's attack, but Shen Ge only needed a moment to catch his breath.

Huang Tao grinned, raised his hand, and a fire dragon, hundreds of feet long, roared out, its scorching heat even evaporating the surrounding clouds.

Facing two Golden Core Stage experts at the same time, Shen Ge is in grave danger!

"Fellow Daoist Shen, I originally didn't intend to do anything to you after that, since I've already reformed."

"But you're just so annoying. Look, because of you, I only have one arm left, and I've lost the status I worked so hard to achieve. So, you have to die. Only when you're dead can I be at peace."

"Brother Shen, come in quickly! We're not fighting them anymore, come in quickly!" Han Yu shouted anxiously from the palace gate.

"Yes, Brother Shen, come in quickly. Our palace is protected by the nation's fortune; they can't break in. Once you're in, just send a message to your sect to ask for reinforcements," Su Du shouted anxiously.

They all knew that once Shen Ge entered the palace, the people of Phoenix City would be wiped out, but they didn't care. Compared to these people, Shen Ge Shen Ge was more important.

The fire dragon swooped down, its scorching heat instantly incinerating all the Yin Qi. At the same time, Huang Tao waved his hand, blocking all of Shen Ge's escape routes, leaving Shen Ge with no choice but to face the danger.

"Roar!"

Exposed to the sunlight and engulfed in flames, the Ghost King roared, his ghostly aura swirling around him as he tried to shield himself from the direct sunlight.

All the surrounding houses were set on fire, thick smoke billowed, and the cries of the people could be heard everywhere.

However, this area is close to the palace and belongs to the residences of high-ranking officials and nobles. There are not many common people here, and most of those officials and nobles had already fled during the previous battle, so the casualties were not that great.

Shen Ge stared at the enormous fire dragon, his face ashen. His hair was brittle and dry, as if it would burst into flames at any moment.

Foundation Establishment Peak facing Golden Core Stage cultivator is like an egg hitting a rock. Shen Ge's normal methods couldn't stop this attack, so he didn't hesitate to activate the Life-Burning Secret Method.

His jet-black hair gradually turned white, Shen Ge's eyes turned bloodshot. He roared to the sky and stomped his feet heavily, shooting straight towards the fire dragon!

A golden light flashed, and the fire dragon was split in two from head to tail, but Shen Ge did not stop and went straight for Huang Tao in the air.

Huang Tao!

Huang Tao chuckled and stepped forward with a disdainful expression. His giant fiery foot stomped directly at Shen Ge, as if crushing an insect, showing just how much he looked down on Shen Ge.

Covered in golden light, Shen Ge raised his sword and unleashed a burst of Sword Qi. After circling the giant fiery foot a few times, the giant fiery foot shattered.

Below, on the rooftop of a building in the city, Song Junjie, covered in blood, stared blankly at everything in the air, muttering to himself, "Is he courting death? We're both at the Foundation Establishment Peak, how can he be so strong?"

"You've got some skills, I'm not playing with you anymore."

Huang Tao sneered, and in a flash, he appeared above Shen Ge's head. With a single kick, he sent Shen Ge crashing down, creating a crater more than ten meters deep in the ground.

Huang Tao didn't use Law Technique; Shen Ge had him lose an arm, and only torture could appease him.

"Brother Shen!"

Han Yu cried out anxiously, wanting to go out and help, but Su Du held her down firmly. Su Du was still rational; she knew that even if the two of them went together, they couldn't save Shen Ge; it would just be suicide.

Su Du glanced at Shen Ge with concern, then gritted his teeth and said, "Confer upon Shen Ge the title of Heaven-Pacifying King, placing him in charge of all civil and military officials and all affairs!"

Shen Ge had previously said he didn't want an official position, but now that he was on the verge of death, Su Du couldn't care less about Shen Ge's words. The only thing she could think of was to grant Shen Ge an official position so that he could mobilize some of the nation's fortune.

A mysterious aura surged into Shen Ge's body. In the crater, Shen Ge spat out a mouthful of blood-filled saliva, his eyes flashed red, and the next moment he tore through the smoke and dust and rushed towards Huang Tao at an even faster speed.

Huang Tao frowned, and with a backhand slash, his sword, dozens of feet long, hurtled towards Shen Ge like rain.

Shen Ge dodged left and right, occasionally raising his sword to retaliate with Sword Qi, but Huang Tao's sword light didn't harm him at all.

However, the situation was much worse in the city below. Huang Tao's missed sword light cleaved through the city, leaving countless people dead.

"It seems we have no choice but to get serious."

"Fire Crow!"

With a wave of Huang Tao's hand, countless fist-sized fire crows appeared in the air, screeching as they swooped towards Shen Ge.

Shen Ge charged straight into the flock of Fire Crow, his sword flashing incessantly. But those sword flashes were no match for the seemingly endless Fire Crow. In no time, the Fire Crow had scratched his body, and a burnt smell emanated from him.

Shen Ge's eyes were bloodshot. The pain and the endless attacks drove him to madness. After a roar, Shen Ge abandoned his sword and began to swing his fists, feet, and even bite.

In the distance, after Shen Ge had been worn down by the Fire Crow for a while, Huang Tao smiled and appeared in front of Shen Ge in a flash. The sword in his hand pierced through Shen Ge 'Shen Ge body and continued to churn inside him.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, our feud ends here. Rest in peace!"

A glimmer of clarity flashed in Shen Ge's bloodshot eyes. He gripped the sword and stared intently at Huang Tao: "Huang Tao, you deserve to die!"

"I deserve to die?" Huang Tao smiled faintly, the longsword in his hand turning crimson, radiating intense heat that caused Shen Ge's face to contort.

"But now you're going to die, while I'll still live a good life."

A wisp of green smoke rose from Shen Ge's hand as he gripped the sword, and there was even a sizzling sound at the point of contact.

He said weakly, "You're right, thanks to you, I'm dying."

"However, even if I die, you won't have an easy time!"

Huang Tao scoffed and said, "How are you going to make things difficult for me?"

"Forget it, you should just die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of flames engulfed Shen Ge. Huang Tao raised his foot and kicked Shen Ge down. At the same time, he waved his hand, and several sword lights rushed towards Shen Ge, intending to tear him to pieces.

However, he didn't notice that some of the blood didn't fall to the ground, but instead unknowingly merged into the void.

In the air, Shen Ge smiled and raised his hand, sending a streak of light straight towards Huang Tao. It was so fast that it was almost there in front of Huang Tao the moment it appeared.

For this moment, he specially learned an extremely concealed enemy-locking formation and used his Essence Blood to outline its shape.

Huang Tao's eyes twitched. He was about to make a move when he suddenly realized he couldn't move. Although he was only stopped for less than two breaths, he lost all hope of defense. He could only watch helplessly as the streak of light rushed toward him, even praying that it was coming toward his head.

Because his head was protected by various defensive measures, he was not afraid of attacks from these Law Treasure fragments.

Unfortunately, the attack didn't go straight for his head.

As the light flashed, Huang Tao's left foot was shredded into pieces, along with his middle leg and part of his abdomen, which were also shredded into fragments of the Golden Core core in his Dantian.

"Ah~" With a scream, Huang Tao fell from the sky. His Dantian was destroyed, and he became a cripple, unable to stand in the air any longer.
