In an instant, dark clouds gathered above the heads of the hundred ghosts.
And the next second, a blizzard poured down from those dark clouds.
Moans and wails echoed through the ranks of the hundred ghosts as the massive blizzard severely hampered their advance.
However, this was only the beginning.
As the blizzard continued to pour down, the hundred ghosts were soon frozen, turning into ice sculptures, unable to move.
"What? How is this possible?"
Abe no Fuyoshi's eyes were filled with disbelief. "Isn't this little girl just a Golden Core cultivator? How can a Golden Core cultivator possess such immense power?"
"An ordinary Golden Core cultivator, naturally not. But don't forget, she is my disciple!"
Chen Xiao said proudly, a satisfied smile on his face.
The Su Nu Xin Jing was no ordinary cultivation technique; it was a true immortal method.
Therefore, even though Gu Yutong was only at the Golden Core realm, she already possessed the strength to challenge Nascent Soul cultivators across levels.
"Wow, Master, you're amazing! I've been practicing this move for a month without success. After your guidance this morning, I had a sudden epiphany and managed to execute it perfectly."
Gu Yutong jumped up and down excitedly.
She had thought she wouldn't be able to use the Su Nu Feng Xue Bao move, but she never expected it to go so smoothly.
"That is the result of your own hard work. As you said, you've been working hard for a month. Although you didn't succeed, every failure accumulated experience for success. So your current successful execution is merely a natural outcome."
Chen Xiao smiled faintly, not taking all the credit.
Of course, Gu Yutong's rapid growth was partly due to her innate Ming Gong physique and the Su Nu Xin Jing.
But the most crucial factor was that she lived on a dragon脉 (dragon vein), possessing inexhaustible spiritual energy. This unique advantage was something other cultivators could only envy.
To prevent Gu Yutong from becoming arrogant, Chen Xiao added, "Don't celebrate too early. You've only frozen them, but it won't be easy to eliminate them all."
Despite his words, Chen Xiao knew that Gu Yutong couldn't be blamed. The techniques in the Su Nu Xin Jing were rich in control methods but lacked destructive power.
This was precisely why Chen Xiao had initially chosen this cultivation technique for Gu Yutong. After all, Gu Yutong was a girl, and Chen Xiao didn't want her to be constantly fighting and killing; he only wanted her to be able to protect herself.
In reality, Gu Yutong's Ming Gong physique was exceptionally suited for cultivating powerful, destructive techniques.
Then, Chen Xiao flicked his sleeve, sending out a flurry of wind blades that transformed into a wind dragon, reaping all the hundred ghosts!
After the wind dragon swept through, the hundred ghosts had vanished, leaving behind only a scattering of small paper figures lying on the ground.
The master and disciple's coordination was seamless. In less than a minute, they had effortlessly resolved the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade.
Abe no Fuyoshi was stunned, his eyes wide and unseeing.
While the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade wasn't his ultimate killing move, having it used as a mere demonstration for the master and disciple before him was a massive blow.
It was a blatant humiliation!
"Damn it!"
Abe no Fuyoshi was so enraged he almost ground his back teeth to dust, veins bulging on his forehead...
Bang! Bang!
In his fury, two small horns, only about a centimeter long, sprouted from Abe no Fuyoshi's forehead.
However, for a person to grow horns was clearly abnormal.
Furthermore, with the appearance of these horns, the black markings on his body became thicker and more pronounced.
What initially covered only a quarter of his face now occupied half of it.
His once fair skin began to take on a dark cyan hue, his elegant handsomeness completely gone, replaced by a more sinister and ferocious appearance.
"Damn you, I'm going to kill you!"
Abe no Fuyoshi said in agony, exhaling heavily through his nostrils, his voice almost a growl from between his clenched teeth.
Chen Xiao stared at Abe no Fuyoshi and said calmly, "You seem to be losing control of yourself."
Chen Xiao could tell that the black markings on Abe no Fuyoshi's body were a form of spirit entity.
And Abe no Fuyoshi himself was not a cultivator; all the techniques he displayed were powered by this spirit entity.
However, the more he borrowed the power of this spirit entity, the greater the backlash he suffered.
"Don't talk nonsense. How could I lose control of myself!"
Perhaps because Chen Xiao had seen through him, Abe no Fuyoshi became agitated and enraged.
Chen Xiao shook his head and sighed, "The sea of suffering is boundless; turn back to the shore. If you tell me your purpose for coming to Jiangcheng now, I will not only spare your life but also help you suppress the entity within you."
"Suppress? Heh heh..."
Abe no Fuyoshi let out two sinister, cold laughs. "I still need its power to kill you. Why would I need you to suppress it? Mind your own business and worry about yourself!"
Before he finished speaking, he charged towards Chen Xiao.
Although his body was still devoid of any aura, his presence had amplified a hundredfold, if not more.
His speed was so fast it was impossible to track, and even Chen Xiao was secretly surprised.
In less than a hundredth of a second, Abe no Fuyoshi had charged from a hundred meters away to Chen Xiao's front.
He threw a punch at Chen Xiao, the speed and power of which were pushed to the absolute limit.
If the person facing him were an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, they might even be killed by this punch.
However, Abe no Fuyoshi was facing Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao effortlessly caught Abe no Fuyoshi's fist.
Abe no Fuyoshi's expression changed drastically, his scalp tingling. After Chen Xiao grabbed his fist, he found himself unable to move!
"Your speed is already quite fast, but unfortunately, for me, it's still too slow."
Chen Xiao shook his head and sighed.
"You..."
Abe no Fuyoshi looked at Chen Xiao in disbelief. At this moment, he finally realized Chen Xiao's terrifying power.
"Who exactly are you? Are you a Soul Transformation cultivator?"
Abe no Fuyoshi had already borrowed the maximum possible power. In this state, he could easily kill Nascent Soul opponents.
Yet, before Chen Xiao, he was as helpless as a three-year-old child.
Of course, he could continue to borrow the spirit entity's power, but the price for doing so was unbearable for him.
His control over his body had reached its limit. With just one mistake, the entity within him would completely take over his body.
"You don't need to know who I am. You just need to answer one question: what is your purpose for being here? I'll give you three more seconds..."
Chen Xiao's expression was cold as he began to count down, "Three!"
Abe no Fuyoshi was in a dilemma. If he borrowed more power, he risked being consumed by the spirit entity and losing control of his body entirely.
But if he didn't borrow more power, after those three seconds, Chen Xiao would beat him to death...
