Realm of the Night God

As he gazed at the several hearts rapidly flying towards him, the evil ghost's face revealed an excited expression, repeatedly shouting the word "heart" from his mouth.

With a massive hand gesture, he grasped the several hearts in one swoop, without a hint of hesitation, and simultaneously stuffed them into his mouth.

After swallowing the hearts, the evil ghost's face showed a look of enjoyment, and his originally illusory body began to solidify. The power fluctuations emanating from his body also rapidly intensified.

Xu Meijing, who had been punched away by the evil ghost, happened to witness the great spirit master taking out several hearts and throwing them towards the evil ghost.

She forcibly stabilized her body in mid-air, then attempted to stop the evil ghost from grabbing the hearts, but ultimately failed. The evil ghost's massive hand swooped in, grasping the hearts in an instant.

Just at this moment, a large number of flying heads launched another attack on her. Although these flying heads' long tongues couldn't harm her, and couldn't even break through her earth soul armor, they were like annoying flies buzzing around her, making her extremely frustrated.

Earlier, she had been punched by the evil ghost because of these annoying flying heads. If it weren't for these pesky flying heads, she wouldn't have been hit, and could have even sliced the evil ghost's entire arm off with one stroke!

Glancing at the slightly dented earth soul armor on her chest, Xu Meijing's anger surged. To avoid a similar situation from happening again, she decided to deal with these annoying flies first, and then take down the great spirit master's Guardian Spirit.

Although the Guardian Spirit's strength wasn't impressive in her eyes, its constant harassment would still have some negative impact on her.

With her mind made up, she temporarily ignored the evil ghost who had swallowed the hearts and turned to charge directly towards the great spirit master's Guardian Spirit.

The Guardian Spirit didn't expect Xu Meijing to abandon her attack on the evil ghost and instead charge towards her. In a state of panic, she hastily controlled the flying heads to launch an attack on Xu Meijing.

She was well aware that the Spirit Summoning Demonic Tree wouldn't have a significant impact on Xu Meijing, and couldn't possibly block her approach. So, while controlling the Spirit Summoning Demonic Tree to attack Xu Meijing, she transformed her soul body into a cloud of Yin Qi and escaped in another direction.

Xu Meijing's strength was too overwhelming, and she knew she wasn't a match for her. She wouldn't dare confront Xu Meijing head-on, so when she saw Xu Meijing charging towards her, she naturally had to flee immediately.

What shocked her was that Xu Meijing suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking her escape route, just as her soul body's Yin Qi had barely escaped.

It wasn't that the Spirit Summoning Demonic Tree hadn't tried to block Xu Meijing; on the contrary, under her control, the flying heads that had detached from the Spirit Summoning Demonic Tree all launched an attack on Xu Meijing without exception.

However, the flying heads' tongues hadn't even touched Xu Meijing's body before being swept away by her powerful knife energy. The force of the knife energy didn't diminish, and it also resolved the flying heads behind her.

All of this happened in an instant, merely a single stroke of Xu Meijing's knife. After resolving the flying heads, Xu Meijing didn't destroy the Spirit Summoning Demonic Tree, but instead flashed towards the Guardian Spirit, blocking her escape route.

As long as she took down the Guardian Spirit, the Spirit Summoning Demonic Tree she had condensed would collapse on its own. Xu Meijing was clear about this principle, so why would she bother to destroy the Spirit Summoning Demonic Tree first and then attack the Guardian Spirit?

Xu Meijing's sudden appearance before her eyes left the Guardian Spirit's heart racing, and her soul body's Yin Qi involuntarily trembled slightly, a reaction to the shock.

In this situation, she could use her toes to think that Xu Meijing would immediately attack her, and wouldn't ask her if she had eaten with a kind face. In a state of panic, she didn't care about anything else and hastily deployed an Illusion Technique against Xu Meijing.

She didn't dare hope to trap Xu Meijing in her Illusion Technique; her requirement was simple – she just needed to have some impact on Xu Meijing, even if it was only for a second, which would be a good thing for her.

One second may be a short time, but it's at least enough for her to escape a short distance, and who knows, maybe she can even wait for her master's rescue within that one second.

However, what happened next was something she never could have dreamed of. This chapter was made possible by the MV_LEMPYR community.

The Illusion Technique was successfully deployed, and it even took effect on Xu Meijing's body. However, Xu Meijing didn't receive any influence from it, but instead, ghost suffered a strong backlash, and her soul body instantly exploded.

This scene left everyone speechless, not just the Guardian Spirit, but also Xu Meijing herself.

Xu Meijing had originally prepared to disperse the Guardian Spirit's soul body with one slash, and then forcefully absorb the dispersed soul body into the soul gathering bead. But before she could even move, the Guardian Spirit's soul body had already self-destructed.

This situation occurred because Xu Meijing had been keeping her ghost eye open, which was meant to prevent the Guardian Spirit from using the Illusion Technique on her at a critical moment and affecting her performance.

To eliminate this possibility, she had even injected a considerable amount of Yin spirit power into her ghost eye, making it even safer.

However, the Guardian Spirit's power was far inferior to hers, and with its soul body severely damaged, it was not at its peak. It had to use all its strength to deploy the Illusion Technique on Xu Meijing, which led to her soul body being unable to withstand the backlash and exploding.

In fact, the Guardian Spirit was also aware that its Illusion Technique might not have any effect on Xu Meijing, and it might even suffer a backlash, just like when it had previously used its object control ability on Xu Meijing and suffered a backlash that almost collapsed its soul body.

But in the urgent situation, the Guardian Spirit's brain short-circuited, and it didn't think of this problem. Therefore, it not only used the Illusion Technique on Xu Meijing but also used it with all its might, resulting in such a severe backlash.

Of course, even if the Guardian Spirit had not overlooked this problem, it would still have chosen to do so, because in that situation, it had no other choice but to take a gamble.

Xu Meijing only thought for a moment before understanding why the Guardian Spirit's soul body had suddenly self-destructed. Although she was surprised by the strength of the backlash, her actions didn't slow down. After seeing the Guardian Spirit's soul body explode, she only hesitated for a moment before quickly taking out a soul gathering bead from her independent space, wanting to forcefully absorb the dispersed Guardian Spirit into the bead.

However, just at this moment, a powerful energy fluctuation came from behind her, rapidly attacking her body!

In this situation, Xu Meijing had to temporarily give up on absorbing the Guardian Spirit into the soul gathering bead. If she insisted on doing so, the result would be that her body would not only be hit by the attack, but the Guardian Spirit would also not be successfully absorbed.

Because the Guardian Spirit's soul body had already dispersed after the explosion, it would take relatively more time to absorb it into the soul gathering bead compared to when it was not dispersed.

And this slight delay would be the key to her failure.

Since she couldn't succeed in absorbing the Guardian Spirit no matter what she chose, she naturally chose to give up on absorbing it immediately, at least to avoid taking an extra hit.

As for the Guardian Spirit, its soul body had already dispersed and would need some time to recondense. During this time, the Guardian Spirit would be unable to harass her again.

Moreover, when the Guardian Spirit recondensed, its power would only be weaker than before, not stronger. Even if it harassed her again, the trouble it would cause would be much smaller.

She had already decided to take down this Guardian Spirit, and she wouldn't go back on her word. However, it wasn't the right time yet. For now, she had to deal with the trouble behind her.

She turned around abruptly, and a massive fist was already in front of her.

The owner of this fist was naturally the evil ghost, which had swallowed several hearts and was now like a chicken injected with adrenaline, not only recovering some of its power but also becoming more excited.

The fist hadn't even landed on her body, but the powerful energy had already dispersed the Yin Qi emanating from her body.

She didn't hesitate, tightly gripping the Death Slayer and directly using a simple and brutal method to slash at the fist
