Lixie knelt on the ground, blood dripping, not uttering a word, but his hands had gouged two deep pits in the earth. His aura surged violently, the rampaging power of the ghost god almost spiraling out of control.

Lao Liu didn't even glance at him, still calmly observing the battle.

The more Lao Liu ignored Lixie, the more he felt his dignity as a ghost god had been violated. His aura surged towards the brink of explosion.

Once Lixie's ghost god power erupted, the first to suffer would be Lao Liu.

Lao Liu chuckled coldly, "Can't even handle this little grievance? Don't worry, there will be plenty of times for you to kneel in the future."

"I know you want to kill me. But you need to think carefully, will you kill me first, or Ziwanner first?"

Lixie gnashed his teeth, finally ceasing to look at Lao Liu.

Because he knew that only Lao Liu could find Ziwanner's weakness right now. If he couldn't defeat Ziwanner with one strike, he would still have to rely on Lao Liu's help.

If Lao Liu died first, the three of them might be locked back into their coffins.

As Lixie forcibly suppressed his murderous intent, Ziwanner's battle against the two great ghost gods entered a crucial phase.

The three ghost gods no longer displayed earth-shattering auras; from a distance, they looked like three ordinary martial artists exchanging blows.

But for ghost gods, this kind of fighting was even more dangerous.

Lao Liu's gaze became exceptionally focused, as if talking to himself.

Wang Butcher strained his ears and heard Lao Liu saying, "A little more to the side, a little more to the side, get behind Lixie, and she won't be able to escape."

Wang Butcher knew that Lixie already harbored murderous intentions towards Lao Liu. Him muttering to himself at this moment was practically telling Lixie the best time to strike and kill him, wasn't it?

Wang Butcher stomped his feet anxiously, but couldn't remind Lao Liu to shut up. If he interrupted Lao Liu's train of thought, more than just Lao Liu himself would die on this desolate mountain.

As Wang Butcher frequently looked back, Tigu (Bone Scraper) and Gerou (Flesh Carver), under Ziwanner's suppression, launched a frenzied counterattack. The force of the two great ghost gods surged like a flash flood, directly towards Ziwanner. At that moment, Lao Liu shouted sharply, "Lixie, turn around and attack with all your strength!"

With an angry roar, Lixie turned and thrust out a finger.

Lixie had already lost his mind in his rage. That finger strike possessed earth-shattering power, instantly penetrating Ziwanner's protective defenses and piercing her body.

He hadn't expected that his finger would strike not only Ziwanner, but also Tigu, who was confronting her.

Ziwanner, with her back to Lixie, was only pierced through the back, but Tigu, standing in front of her, was pierced through the heart by the finger wind. Coupled with Ziwanner's palm strikes, Tigu didn't even have time to scream before exploding into a sky full of phosphorescent flames.

As the surging green flames of a fallen ghost god swept across the heavens and the earth, something resembling a hat, yet wailing, flew out of Ziwanner's hand.

"Zhan Gui Xue Di Zi (Ghost Slaying Flying Guillotine)!" Lixie didn't even bother to kill Lao Liu; he turned and tried to escape, but before he could run a few steps, he was covered by the Xue Di Zi.

The Xue Di Zi could take a person's head from a hundred paces away, relying on the ring of steel blades inside the iron hood. If the user didn't retract the iron chain, the head wouldn't be carried away by the Xue Di Zi.

Knowing that he had no chance of survival, Lixie simply turned and pounced on Lao Liu, but before the latter could even move, the Xue Di Zi on his head sent a ghost god's head flying into the sky.

The headless corpse staggered forward a few steps before collapsing.

The emerald green phosphorescent fire spread across the ground like poured water for several feet, flowing towards Lao Liu's feet.

Lao Liu simply moved his feet slightly, looking at Ziwanner in the distance, who had torn Gerou in half with his bare hands, with a smile that wasn't a smile: "Do you still have the strength to fight?"

Ziwanner was, after all, a ghost god. Although pierced by Lixie's finger wind, she wasn't killed on the spot: "I will remember your Liang Jie Tang (Two Realms Hall)."

Lao Liu waved his fan and said, "I can tell you something for my master: We do not offend others unless they offend us. If anyone offends us, we will surely offend them."

Ziwanner gave Lao Liu a deep look, then turned and disappeared from the mountaintop.

Wang Butcher had just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw three finger-thick strands of phosphorescent fire, like small snakes, wriggling towards Lao Liu.

Lao Liu squatted down, unfolded Qian Hun Mie (Thousand Soul Extinguisher), and gently moved it forward, receiving the three strands of phosphorescent fire onto the fan.

Wang Butcher was dumbfounded: "You're…"

Lao Liu smiled like a landlord who had tricked a farmhand: "How could ghost gods be so easily annihilated? The three of them are protecting their true spirits, waiting to be resurrected!"

"This is just a bargain for me. Three ghost gods are much more useful than three ghosts."

Wang Butcher knew that Lao Liu's fan could collect ghosts. Seeing him take three ghost gods for his own use, he couldn't help but feel envious.

Although Tigu and the others had their bodies scattered, the remaining true spirits still had the strength comparable to a great ghost. If handled properly, it wouldn't be difficult to restore them to their peak.

At that time, Lao Liu would be commanding three great ghost gods.

At this moment, Lixie's voice came from the fan: "You dare to enslave ghost gods? You have such audacity."

Lao Liu chuckled: "I told you long ago, there will be plenty of times for you to kneel in the future. In a few days, I'll teach you how to kowtow properly. Hehe…"
