Chapter 724: The Great Battle with Asura Ghost
The Asura Ghost, who usually wouldn't leave the vicinity of the cave entrance, had this time charged straight out.
His figure flashed, catching up to Lin Shen who had taken to the sky, with the Ghost Fang Trident in hand stabbing towards Lin Shen.
Lin Shen suddenly felt a pulling force dragging his body towards the Asura Ghost, and the ghost's large sword was about to decapitate him from behind.
Lin Shen himself didn't feel much, the Asura Ghost's strength was strong, but at most, it would only harm his body and couldn't kill him.
Di Esi and Bing Leiya, however, were terrified, their souls nearly departing, with lightning flickering, Bing Leiya leaped from the mountain wall like a bolt of lightning, and instead of punching the Asura Ghost, he aimed a punch at Lin Shen's feet.
Lin Shen only felt explosive strength emanating from under his feet, propelling his body quickly upward.
Meanwhile, Di Esi's fingers moved, myriad starlight and Dust Life Base wrapped continuously around the Asura Ghost's sword-wielding hand, forcibly preventing his sword from cutting down, slowing the speed of his swing.
Lin Shen escaped a disaster and wasn't cut by the Asura Ghost, but the ghost was relentless and chased after him again.
Seeing this, Lin Shen knew he couldn't escape without settling the outcome with the Asura Ghost.
Not to mention his speed, even if it were Di Esi and Bing Leiya's speed, if the Asura Ghost truly wanted to chase them, it's likely they would have trouble shaking him off as well.
Only by cooperating with Bing Leiya and Di Esi to take it down would they be able to get rid of this guy.
Thinking this, Lin Shen had no choice but to give up playing dead, put away the nonsense, took his Scrap Sword from his waist, drew his sword to face the approaching Asura Ghost, and said to Bing Leiya and Di Esi, "I'll hold it off, you guys go all out to kill it."
Observing from a distance, the Nirvana Beings, hearing Lin Shen say he would hold off the Asura Ghost alone, were curious as to how he was going to do that, then saw Lin Shen with a sword in one hand and scabbard in the other, directly facing the Asura Ghost's dual swords.
Everyone was shocked. Di Esi and Bing Leiya had just barely managed to withstand the Asura Ghost's attack frontally, and this person actually wanted to face it head-on; could he be stronger than Di Esi and Bing Leiya?
While they were puzzled, they saw Lin Shen's sword and scabbard fiercely slashing and chopping, brutally severing all the Blade Qi slashed out by the Asura Ghost.
Even the invisible Blade Qi from the Asura Ghost's small knife was cut apart as well.
Lin Shen himself was an expert at this kind of technique; the Asura Ghost's invisible Blade Qi couldn't deceive him.
Man and ghost swung their swords wildly in the sky, with the sound of cleaved Blade Qi filling the heavens, the clash of weapons unceasing.
"Damn... this guy is fierce..."
"He actually cut through the Asura Ghost's Blade Qi head-on... who exactly is he..."
"No wonder he entered the cave to snatch the egg, turns out he's the most fierce out of the three!"
"What Blade Technique is that? I've never seen it before; it looks a bit strange."
"..."
While the distant Nirvana Beings were still discussing, the Asura Ghost crossed its swords, slashing out a half-black, half-transparent eerie Blade Qi.
They had already witnessed the might of this kind of Blade Qi, knowing its destructive power was out of this world, and among those of the Nirvana Level, there shouldn't be many who could withstand it head-on; Lin Shen should be dodging now.
But Lin Shen didn't seem to have any intention of dodging, his sword and scabbard crossed, meeting the blow with the stance of Scrap Sword Snip.
Crack!
Lin Shen's figure slid backward in the air, but he managed to sever the Asura Ghost's Blade Qi.
"This… This is too fierce… Who on earth is this guy…" Nirvana Beings watching from a distance were all staring agape.
Lin Shen was tying up the Asura Ghost from the front, while Di Esi and Bing Leiya attacked frantically from the sides.
The Asura Ghost swung his shield and trident, blocking the ever-changing assaults from Di Esi and Bing Leiya, while his attacks were also blocked by Lin Shen; the battle had reached a stalemate.
Di Esi has only undergone Nirvana once, his Power of Nirvana was not pure nor strong enough. Although his attacks were like tidal waves, they always failed to break through the Asura Ghost's defenses.
Bing Leiya's power of thunder and lightning was also countered by the Asura Ghost, unable to pose a significant threat to him.
The three humans and ghost fought fiercely in the sky, lights scattering, shockwaves surging like ocean waves.
Lin Shen also realized the problem, Di Esi had hit the Asura Ghost several times, but after his Power of Nirvana was weakened by the Ghost Shield, it had become difficult to inflict effective damage on Asura Ghost.
The omnipresent Dust Life Base was also unable to harm the Asura Ghost's body, even infiltrating inside proved useless.
The Ghost Fang Trident even had a strong absorbing ability, capable of sucking out the stardust that entered the Asura Ghost's body.
This move was an absolute counter to Di Esi, as normally he could allow the stardust to continuously enter Asura Ghost's body, accumulating to a certain extent, the Dust Life Base's strength could then blow up the Asura Ghost's body directly. Explore more stories at My Virtual Library Empire
But due to the abilities of the Ghost Fang Trident, this move became impracticable.
Once the Ghost Fang Trident absorbed the stardust, it could actually transform and utilize it, throwing it back at Lin Shen, condensed into a ball of light.
In the end, it was Lin Shen who took it all, bravely splitting the ball of light in two.
The two halves flew towards the mountain walls on either side, blasting away two sections of the mountainside.
"Such a strong person, such skills, why have we never heard of him before?" Feng Feitian said, frowning.
"Judging by his physical characteristics, he should not be from within the top ten races," Huang Feiwu pondered.
"I wonder which clan produced such an individual, and if it's possible to recruit him under our banner?" Feng Feitian said, gazing up at Lin Shen in the sky.
"It's probably difficult, he's with Di Esi and Bing Leiya, likely related to those two clans, perhaps even an affiliate of them," Huang Feiwu speculated.
Feng Feitian did not speak, seemingly contemplating something.
The other Nirvana Beings were also curious about who Lin Shen was, to be able to withstand the Asura Ghost's onslaught single-handedly.
At this very moment, Lin Shen appeared even fiercer than Di Esi and Bing Leiya, as if he was the main force among the three.
Suddenly, Di Esi retreated some distance, and did not continue to attack the Asura Ghost. He raised his hands up high over his head, and the stars started to emerge and gather between his hands.
In the blink of an eye, he had condensed a starlight sword over one meter long in his hands, and countless starlights continued converging towards the sword, making it bigger and bigger. In an instant, the starlight sword had already grown to four or five meters in length.
The starlight on the blade grew stronger, emitting a terrifyingly powerful fluctuation of strength.
As the surrounding stardust diminished, Di Esi moved quickly, flying while absorbing the stardust around him, making the starlight sword larger and more powerful.
Everyone could see Di Esi's intention; he was accumulating strength to deliver the strongest strike to slay the Asura Ghost.
