“Over a thousand ants died, combined with seven Ghost Spirit Grasses and five Ghost Soul Grasses, I finally refined these two ghost creatures. It was truly not an easy task,” Black Poison King said, looking at the two Ghost Soldiers with a wicked smile.
It appeared that he was quite satisfied with his creation.
“You fool! You wasted seven Ghost Spirit Grasses and five Ghost Soul Grasses to refine these two worthless Ghost Soldiers and harmed over a thousand innocent lives!” Leo’s eyes turned cold as he spoke in a frigid voice.
The two Ghost Soldiers before him were surrounded by black aura. Within the aura, there were occasional wailing sounds of vengeful spirits, creating a chilling atmosphere.
In truth, fully refined Ghost Soldiers wouldn’t have so much black aura or be accompanied by such a multitude of wailing vengeful spirits.
Both Ghost Spirit Grass and Ghost Soul Grass were precious medicinal herbs used in refining ghost creatures. With just one Ghost Spirit Grass, it was enough to refine a fire attribute ghost creature that could rival a Spiritual Master in the upper realm.
Black Poison King wasted seven Ghost Spirit Grasses and five Ghost Soul Grasses to refine these two Ghost Soldiers entangled with vengeful spirits, truly squandering precious resources.
“Kill him!” Black Poison King pointed at Leo, shouting in a stern voice.
The two Ghost Soldiers’ eyes glowed with a crimson light as they opened their sharp-fanged mouths and brandished their tridents, charging at Leo ferociously.
The two menacing tridents aimed straight for Leo’s face.
Leo’s feet tapped the ground, and his figure swiftly retreated backward, evading the two tridents.
At the same time, Leo formed a hand seal with his fingertips, and Spiritual Power surged out from within him, forming two sun-like orbs in front of him.
Leo pointed towards the two Ghost Soldiers while hovering in the air.
The two sun-like orbs streaked through the air, shooting straight at the two Ghost Soldiers.
In the next moment, the two sun-like orbs ruthlessly pounded onto the bodies of the two Ghost Soldiers.
The black aura around the Ghost Soldiers churned as if boiling water, rapidly dissipating within the darkness.
“Damn it!” Black Poison King’s expression changed.
He didn’t expect his painstakingly refined Ghost Soldiers to suffer injuries in just one exchange.
Black Poison King formed a hand seal with his fingertips, and the two Ghost Soldiers emitted a clattering sound from their bones as their bodies elevated slightly, mouths wide open.
Two black arrow-shaped entities appeared-one encased in fiery red flames, and the other emanating a serene blue water-like fluctuation.
The two arrow-shaped entities were incredibly swift, almost reaching their target in the blink of an eye.
Leo’s figure flashed, avoiding them, and the swiftly passing arrow-shaped entities pierced through the trunk of an Arrow Poisonwood tree behind Leo.
Under Black Poison King’s control, the mouths of the two Ghost Soldiers unleashed sharp arrows one after another, shooting violently towards Leo.
“Hmph, trivial tricks!” Leo snorted coldly, channeling his Spiritual Power into the Blue Phantom Sword. The sword immediately emitted a dazzling, eerie blue light.
Then, Leo extended his consciousness over the Blue Phantom Sword.
The Blue Phantom Sword transformed into a streak of light, shooting straight at the two Ghost Soldiers.
In an instant, the Blue Phantom Sword struck the foreheads of the two Ghost Soldiers in succession.
“Bang! Bang!”
The two Ghost Soldiers instantly exploded, turning into dense black aura that dissipated with the wind, and the sounds of ghostly cries disappeared with them.
“Spurt!”
Black Poison King suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
“It’s impossible! How could you easily break the Ghost Soldiers I worked so hard to refine?” Black Poison King’s face twisted in a ferocious manner, filled with disbelief.
The Ghost Soldiers within the Death Soul Banner were his trump card, yet they were easily defeated!
“The method you used to refine the Ghost Soldiers was crude and wasteful of the essence within the Ghost Spirit Grass and Ghost Soul Grass. Their power is not even one-tenth of a true Ghost Soldier,” Leo said, describing them in one word: “trash!”
“Now, it’s your turn to die!” Leo sneered.
Leo retrieved the Blue Phantom Sword, his figure flickered, and he shot directly towards Black Poison King.
“Want to kill me? It’s not that easy!” Black Poison King’s face twisted in a ferocious manner as a fiery-red serpent shot out from his mouth, transforming into an arrow leaving the bow, heading straight for Leo.
“Bang!”
When the strange serpent approached Leo, it suddenly exploded, releasing a crimson-colored toxic gas.
Leo immediately invoked a hurricane talisman to disperse the toxic gas.
The purpose of the serpent’s attack was to momentarily obstruct Leo.
Black Poison King reached into his pouch with his right hand and pulled out a silkworm. The silkworm was transparent and flawless, almost invisible without the play of light and shadows.
Black Poison King swallowed the silkworm in one gulp.
Soon, Black Poison King’s body began to rapidly fade away, starting from his feet, then his legs, waist, neck, and other parts until they completely vanished.
In the end, only Black Poison King’s head, about to disappear, was still visible.
“You brat, I’ll kill you next time we meet!” A trace of maliciousness flashed in Black Poison King’s eyes, and then his head also disappeared.
At this point, Black Poison King seemed to have become invisible, completely disappearing from the spot.
“Leo, he’s trying to escape! It’s the Concealment Insect. It can hide one’s presence. Watch out for any movement on the ground,” Juliet hurriedly reminded.
In her eyes, the battle between Leo and Black Poison King just now was quite thrilling.
She didn’t expect Leo to be so strong, and Black Poison King’s power exceeded her imagination as well.
“Concealment? How ridiculous! It’s simply seeking death!” Leo sneered and expanded his consciousness.
Every blade of grass and every tree around him appeared clearly in Leo’s mind.
As soon as Leo finished speaking, the grass on the ground started to stir, as if someone’s footsteps were swiftly passing through the vegetation.
“Leo, over there!” Juliet pointed at the rustling grass and said urgently.
Leo smiled faintly, shook his head, and his eyes flickered with a cold light. Instead of looking in the direction Juliet pointed, he suddenly raised his head and gazed at the empty trunk of an Arrow Poisonwood tree ahead.
Leo quietly infused Spiritual Power into the Blue Phantom Sword once again, then controlled it with his mind, sending the Blue Phantom Sword flying.
A blue light streaked through the air, as fast as lightning, shooting directly at the empty trunk of the Arrow Poisonwood tree.
“Splurt…”
The sound of the Blue Phantom Sword piercing flesh echoed, and a splash of crimson blood splattered in the air.
“Thud!”
An invisible entity fell from the trunk, emitting a slightly muffled sound.
“What is this…?” Juliet’s beautiful face changed slightly, a trace of astonishment flashing in her eyes.
On the ground, the invisible entity slowly became visible-it was Black Poison King.
“How… how could you… discover me!?” Black Poison King clutched his chest, pierced by the Blue Phantom Sword, his old eyes filled with unwillingness. He stared fixedly at Leo, his throat emitting indistinct sounds.
“To borrow your words, in front of me, you’re like an ant,” Leo coldly snorted.
It had to be said that this old man’s thinking was quite meticulous. After he used the concealment insect, he released two centipedes beneath his feet in the grass. The centipedes moved through the foliage, creating the illusion of an invisible person swiftly passing through the grass. Meanwhile, Black Poison King himself jumped onto a nearby tree trunk.
However, under the coverage of Leo’s consciousness, whether concealed or not, everything appeared clearly in his mind.
