Chapter 522: Painting’s Sudden Change (1/2)

Ghosts shouldn’t exist in this world. After a certain period of time, lightning would strike and kill these ghosts, not allowing them to exist.

Specters were the strongest of these ghosts, just like cultivators for humans. After reaching a certain level, they would have to face lightning tribulation.

Those surpassing one were called One-Tribulation Ghost.

Those surpassing two were called Two-Tribulation Ghost.

Three was Three-Tribulation Ghost King.

Four was Four-Tribulation Ghost King.

However, this type of cultivation was not tolerated by the heaven and earth even more than corpse evils. The tribulation was unbelievably strong. Surpassing two was hard enough; surpassing three to become a Ghost King was even rarer.

A Three-Tribulation Ghost King was on the same level as a Giant, hence Feiyun’s worries. Jingyue and he wouldn’t be able to scream for help if there was one around.

“Put away your mirror, spirit treasure is useless against specters.” Feiyun said.

She didn’t know as much about specters and had to listen to him: “What do we do then?”

Because she had never trained in treasure-seeking arts, she simply couldn’t detect them. This made her even more nervous despite trying to act calm. Nevertheless, she inched closer to Feiyun.

“Run out!” With a serious gaze, he grabbed her waist and pulled her into his chest before using Swift Samsara.

He was certain that this creature was a Three-Tribulation Ghost King. As long as he made it out of this place, the ancestors from the Yin Gou would be able to suppress it.

“Boom!” A nether gale carrying a monstrous force like an ice mountain slammed into the two, blowing them back into the room.

“Shit, a second one?! Goddamn, your clan is purposely grooming these ghosts?” Feiyun’s chest was aching with blood dripping down. His flesh got pulverized in that area.

Jingyue wasn’t feeling good either. Her dress stained with blood as beads of sweat dripped down. Her injuries were much worse than Feiyun so she shuddered and tumbled, unable to stand straight. Her physical constitution was no match for his.

“So unlucky each time I see you, something bad will definitely happen.” Feiyun spat blood and saliva on the ground. His mouth was aching as if it was being pricked by many blades. Nevertheless, he still continued to help Jingyue and headed back to deeper into the place.

Jingyue was a top expert of the young generation and might be even stronger than Feiyun. Alas, she couldn’t handle a Giant’s attack and her body wasn’t as ridiculous as Feiyun’s.

She couldn’t gather spirit energy anymore and would only be waiting to die if Feiyun didn’t take her away. Though she was annoyed, she couldn’t actually refute his statement.

Their first meeting ended up with her chasing him for miles.

The second meeting, the two of them were attacked by corpses in the underground temple. Feiyun nearly died to the Evil Woman in that event too.

The third meeting, Feiyun was expelled from his clan and became a target.

The fourth meeting was at Duo Village and that disaster. He almost died there too.

The fifth meeting, oh my, they’re meeting a Ghost King right in her clan. How could he not think that she was his unlucky star?

Jingyue lied on his back with an amused glint. She looked quite charming even in this state and said: “You’re the one possessed by misfortune so don’t blame it on me. I should be the one blaming you for wanting to go here, head first into the trap, idiot.”

Nether gales were screeching with strange noises. It sounded like the ghosts were crying.

As they went deeper inside, the noises became clearer. This place was completely haunted with so many Ghost Kings waiting inside to taste flesh.

Feiyun said seriously: “There are at least three Ghost Kings around here, there’s no escaping. Our only chance of survival is to run back into that room with the painting.
