You were waiting for my Netherworld Ghost Domain!
As the familiar sensation struck again, Qin Xuan dodged to the side and accelerated, instantly evading the domain that was about to swallow him.
The Hundred Ghosts Emperor, however, was not in a hurry.
After all, the backlash from this brat was imminent.
Little did he know that Qin Xuan's plan was to feign exhaustion, trick him into activating the Netherworld Ghost Domain, and then accelerate away, thwarting his scheme.
This was precisely the delaying tactic Qin Xuan had devised.
Qin Xuan knew that such a monstrous skill as the Netherworld Ghost Domain would undoubtedly consume a significant amount of the caster's energy.
As long as he could make the opponent use it a few more times, their vital energy would be greatly depleted.
In an era where there was no heaven and earth yuan qi, and one could almost only rely on oneself to recover vital energy, the exhaustion of vital energy was tantamount to being at the mercy of others.
However, the opponent was not foolish, and Qin Xuan naturally did not expect this move to truly deplete the opponent's vital energy.
He would last as long as he could. Once the Hundred Ghosts Emperor stopped falling for it, he could try other methods.
Seeing Qin Xuan's speed slow down again, the Hundred Ghosts Emperor did not hesitate. He immediately charged forward and activated the Netherworld Ghost Domain once more.
Qin Xuan employed the same tactic, escaping again.
This time, the Hundred Ghosts Emperor began to mutter to himself.
Having lived for so long, even an idiot would accumulate some experience, let alone a normal person like him.
Therefore, after being evaded by Qin Xuan for the third time, he no longer pursued as relentlessly as before.
The technique of stimulating potential through acupoint pressure could indeed grant the opponent powerful acceleration in a short period.
But once or twice was the limit.
Qin Xuan's repeated accelerations and escapes, each timed perfectly, made it obvious without much thought that it was intentional.
"Brat, you think you can trick me into wasting my energy?"
"Stop wasting your time."
"I'll go refine the Hundred Ghosts Grand Array now. Let's see if you'll save yourself or flee."
With a cold snort, the Hundred Ghosts Emperor immediately charged towards his Hundred Ghosts Grand Array.
Seeing this, Qin Xuan could no longer think of running.
He didn't care about Chen Xuan within the grand array, but if the opponent refined the array and advanced their strength after his prolonged fight with the Hundred Ghosts Emperor, he would be the first to die!
"Since that's the case, let's see just how strong I am after stimulating my potential!"
"Lightning Technique, go!"
With a flick of his finger, a bolt of lightning as thick as a little finger instantly struck the path the Hundred Ghosts Emperor was about to take.
With a thunderous crack, a pit several meters deep appeared on the ground.
Had the Hundred Ghosts Emperor taken one more step forward, he would have been affected by the lightning.
"The power has become so strong?!"
"It's at least doubled compared to before!"
The Hundred Ghosts Emperor stopped abruptly and looked sideways, clearly astonished by Qin Xuan's destructive power at this moment.
With this single lightning strike, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the brat now possessed the cultivation of a peak Grandmaster.
Unfortunately, a Grandmaster was still just a Grandmaster.
Even at their peak, they could not compare to a cultivator like himself who was at the Demigod realm.
Even though more than half of his vital energy had been depleted, he still...
"What!"
In a moment of distraction, the Hundred Ghosts Emperor felt a surge of immense force coming at him.
He raised his hand to block, and indeed, Qin Xuan's iron fist had already struck.
Impossible, why is this brat's physical combat so formidable?!
Baji Quan, Xing Yi Quan.
With every move, he could faintly see the shadow of Hu Sanqiang!
The Hundred Battles Emperor blocked repeatedly and was actually suppressed by Qin Xuan's fists and feet.
He became enraged. While retreating and fighting, he formed a hand seal, intending to blast Qin Xuan with a combined technique.
But how could Qin Xuan not anticipate what he was thinking?
He let out a low roar, and the most rigid and yang lightning instantly enveloped his body.
From a distance, he looked like a person being electrocuted.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"How can you cast spells instantly without forming hand seals?!"
The Hundred Ghosts Emperor, who was numb from being electrocuted, had the words "impossible" repeating in his mind.
Every cultivator, no matter how powerful, like Ke Wudi or Zheng Wanqing, could not mobilize their vital energy without forming hand seals.
Let alone this brat in front of him, who was only at the Grandmaster realm?
And judging by his appearance, it seemed he could not only instantly release lightning techniques but also water and fire techniques.
He was throwing them out like they were free!
Was his vital energy inexhaustible?!
The Hundred Ghosts Emperor swore that this battle was the most frustrating one he had ever experienced!
"Enough!"
Finally, with his body paralyzed and his hair standing on end due to the lightning, he could bear it no longer.
He roared and charged into the sky, beginning to mobilize his vital energy and gather Yin energy.
"Damn brat, I..."
*Crack!*
Before he could finish speaking, a sharp explosion suddenly came from the Hundred Ghosts Emperor's body.
These were low-grade Five Elements talismans made by Qin Xuan himself.
They couldn't be used for multiple purposes, and their power wasn't great, only slightly stronger than the firecrackers used during New Year's.
But at this moment, placing them on the Hundred Ghosts Emperor was extremely insulting.
And most importantly, during the previous exchange of blows, he had attached more than just one.
*Boom!*
*Crack!*
*Crackle!*
Lightning and fire instantly engulfed the Hundred Ghosts Emperor.
In just half a minute, a total of sixty talismans were detonated.
This was only because Qin Xuan's pockets couldn't hold any more.
Otherwise, he could have attached more.
"Brat, I'll curse your ancestors!"
After a long while, the light subsided.
Feeling the occasional stinging sensation on his body and the pleasant relief from the water-attribute talismans' healing effect, the Hundred Ghosts Emperor cursed and began to condense the Myriad Ghosts Coming to Court.
Although the surrounding Yin energy had been almost completely burned away by the fireballs Qin Xuan had released, with his Demigod realm strength, killing a Grandmaster with this move was still easy.
"You brat are so disgusting, you'll definitely be reincarnated as a cockroach in your next life!"
"Die!"
With a furious roar, the Myriad Ghosts Coming to Court took shape.
But just as he was about to strike, a voice amplified by a loudspeaker almost scattered the vital energy he had painstakingly gathered.
"We are from the Jiangcheng National Security Bureau."
"To the two cultivators fighting ahead, please stop immediately."
"Especially the naked gentleman flying in the sky, please put on your clothes and descend immediately."
"Repeat, the naked gentleman flying in the sky, please put on your clothes and descend immediately!"
As the National Security Bureau's law enforcement officers finished speaking, both the speaker and the listener fell silent.
Qin Xuan's lips were tightly pressed together, his face flushed red from holding back laughter. The law enforcement officers turned off the loudspeaker and secretly covered their mouths, chuckling.
A moment later, until a cool breeze gently swept through the forest, the Hundred Ghosts Emperor realized who they were referring to as the naked man.
He looked down and saw that his clothes had indeed been burned to ashes by Qin Xuan's talismans.
And his physical body had been thoroughly cleaned by a few "water-washing" talismans that the opponent had mistakenly attached.
"Ahhhh!"
"I'll kill you all!"
The dignified Hundred Ghosts Emperor, a Demigod-level expert, was now flying in the sky completely naked and seen by so many people.
If this were to get out, what would become of his reputation as a super expert?
How could he ever hold his head up in front of others?
Therefore, the Hundred Ghosts Emperor not only did not obey the law enforcement officers' command to descend from the sky but also desperately urged his vital energy, intending to eliminate the law enforcement officers who had just arrived!
As the old saying goes, only the dead can keep secrets the best!
