Chapter 538: A Strong Opponent (2/2)

While the ghost was surprised, his strength was not just for show, and he managed to retreat in the nick of time, as the sharp kick made the wind whistle.

However, as he retreated, Lan had already appeared behind him. The snake's body had grown to a larger size, and he sent his tail down like a whip that hit the young-looking ghost's stomach.

The body of a ghost was not the same as the body of a human. While the wounds caused pain to surge through his body, there were no lethal points in their bodies, as they were made purely out of soul power.

As the tail hit the ghost, he managed to avoid too much damage, sending himself shooting backward. But even so, he had to admit that the pain in his body could not be ignored.

His black eyes were full of anger. He had come for the sake of stealing Lan, and he had expected it to be a simple thing, but both Xue Wei and this Lan seemed to be much more troublesome than he had expected.

He knew that if he did not become serious, then there was a chance that he might not even be able to escape from the branch leader's manor today.

The air around the ghost began to twist, energy ripples erupted from his body, and a heavy pressure descended onto Xue Wei and Lan.

Both of them were aware that this ghost was stronger than them, and they knew that they had to be alert if they wished to overcome this trial. Even so, they would not shy away.

Inner Might!

Xue Wei created a sword out of Qi, which he held in his hands. He summoned the Lightning Qi within his body and wrapped it around the blade as he got ready to attack once more.

Lightning and Wood Qi were truly the real nemesis of these ghosts. While it would not be able to directly kill this young-looking ghost, it would be able to cause some severe troubles for him, including inflicting intense pain.

The eyes of the ghost also narrowed as he saw the purple lightning that was wrapped around the sword. He did not know what kind of energy this was, but he could sense the danger that it contained.

Even he, who was much stronger than this Xue Wei, knew that he had to be careful if he wished to survive.

Although it seemed as if an eternity had passed while the two sides looked at one another, less than a second went by before they attacked at the same time.

Sky's Judgement!

This was an attack that Xue Wei had learned a long time ago, but after gaining the Lightning Qi, he had modified it slightly.

This was initially a channeling attack, but now he was using the sword to launch one lightning bolt after another. The nine lightning bolts that were being released were all overwhelmingly powerful, and when combined with Xue Wei's swordplay, the young-looking ghost found himself annoyed.
