Chapter 461: 280

“Master, we should consider other ways. This is really quite risky for you.”

The chiding voice of the spirit of Cave Sky resounded in Feng Qing’an’s ears, but he simply ignored it. He was curious to see what kind of demon or monstrous ghost dared to target Nan Ge, and provoke him.

“Do you think a group of evil cultivators who collude with ghosts can hurt me?”

Feng Qing’an laughed coldly. If the Xuanzong of Taoism, or the Mahayana Buddhist Temple were eyeing Nan Ge, he would not hesitate to turn to Dong Huang.

However, the ones targeting Nan Ge happened to be a group of cultivators who used ghost creatures and fought with despicable methods. He could somewhat predict what this sort of cultivator in the chaotic Qi Country would be up to, even without giving it much thought.

Having realized this, he was unafraid. Regardless of the enemy’s cultivation, they were nothing more than a pile of dirt in his eyes. When they met him, they would likely meet the same fate as several evil gods that had been cut down by his sword.

“Even so, Master, you don’t need to put that seal on yourself. You’re standing here, they will definitely target you.”

“That’s precisely what I want.”

Upon hearing these words, not only did Feng Qing’an’s face show no sign of worry, but he even showed a hint of a smile. However, his eyes were filled with a killing intent that had been accumulating for a long time, ready to erupt at the first opportunity.

“Master…”

“Shut up.”

Feng Qing’an didn’t have the patience to continue listening. With a casual swipe, the Cave Sky portal that was floating beside him disappeared into thin air, along with the incessant chattering of the Cave Sky spirit.

At this moment, Feng Qing’an was alone, without any Guardian Beasts beside him. But for him, who was a Heavenly Beast Master, whether the beasts were by his side or not was irrelevant.

The existence of the Soul Contract made it possible for him to use the power of others without being hindered by distance. This had astonished even Dong Huang. It made the beast master seem weak and easy to bully but in reality, they were connected to many powerful beings. They could transform from a seemingly harmless individual into a monstrous creature at any time.

After Feng Qing’an walked out of the Cave Sky, he appeared exactly where he had slain an evil water king – beside a river.

Gazing at the torrenting waves before him, and the river bay with a faint trace of blood which wouldn’t dissipate, Feng Qing’an instead looked into the distance at the gray sky where clouds were flitting by.

Just as the Cave Sky spirit had said, from the moment he stepped out of the Cave Sky with the seal, he was quickly located. That surged emotional feeling told him that something threatening him was closing in.

Boom!

In the direction Feng Qing’an was watching, a streak of greenish-black energy, like a sharp sword, tore the clouds in the sky in two. A conical vacuum was forming and swiftly spreading to both sides, pushing the clouds away and unveiling a clear sky.

“Nan Ge!”

A manic scream echoed over the river, quickly turning to enraged indignation which contained a ready to burst out fury and killing intent.

“Who are you? Where is Nan Ge?”

Feng Qing’an glanced at the towering armored ghost creature in front of him, his face expressionless and indifferent. He surveyed the noisy creature briefly before turning his gaze to the void behind it.

“Bastard!”

The keenly anticipated Yin Spirit girl, the foundations of his enlightenment, had transformed into a handsome, sun-kissed young man with an outwardly robust and inwardly godly handsome man, and moreover, of the Human Race. This was such a vast difference from what the young sect Lord of the Ghost Soul Sect had expected, it was unacceptable.

Being regarded lightly by an adolescent of the Human Race while in his monstrous form after performing the Body Divine Power technique, the young Sect Lord who was more tempestuous and fierce compared to his human form, couldn’t bear it any longer.

With a furious roar, his initially towering form began expanding even more, quickly evolved from being just over ten feet to thirty feet, the massive body was like a tower, overlooking the comparably smaller Feng Qing’an. The sight was terrifying, enough to make one suffocate due to the heavy atmosphere.

“I’ll see what you’re made of!”

This monstrous figure, unable to distinguish whether it’s human or ghost or some other demon, still maintained some logic even in its delirious state. Feng Qing’an’s existence was incredibly strange in its eyes and nearly incomprehensible.

Even while attacking instinctively, it was just a probe. It didn’t dare make contact with Feng Qing’an using its real body.

Seeing this eerie creature, Feng Qing’an drew out the Green God Sword, his weakest sword, infusing it with the power of the Flame Dragon. He lifted the sword and swung it downwards, a roar of the Flame Dragon’s sword energy resonated.

“Young Sect Master, be careful.”

While Feng Qing’an was focused on the void in front of him, a figure in black armor suddenly leapt out. With a swift pull on the looming ghost creature in front of him, it evade the Flame Dragon’s sword energy that, despite only glowing, made the ghost creature wail.

However, the sword energy that traveled across the sky like a blazing sun, was still able to sever one of the ghost creature’s arms. It also caused the hundred or so evil ghosts who were entwined within it to send out screams of despair, before they vanished.
