Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL] Chapter 476: Fighting the Evil Ghost Dream 4

Shen Xu narrowed his eyes when he heard the screeches.

A mont later, he felt an eerie presence rushing towards him, and he subconsciously dodged to the right.

At the sa ti, he swung his hamr, wanting to kill whatever was trying to attack him.

However, he soon heard a loud crack and frowned.

’My soul power coating has broken.’ He thought and couldn’t help but be montarily confused.

After all, he was a mid-stage level eight soul refiner.

Although he hadn’t used much soul power on the hamr, it should have been enough to counter a level eight evil ghost without breaking.

’Sothing is wrong.’ Shen Xu thought and raised his hamr.

Soon after, his attack collided with an opponent, and his soul power broke.

Seeing this, the double retreated several tres and began assessing the situation.

At a glance, Shen Xu saw an evil ghost in front of ng Quan.

Excluding its red eyes, greyish hair, and gloomy aura, the evil ghost was indistinguishable from an ordinary cultivator.

It had a solid form and calm eyes that set it apart from ordinary evil ghosts that usually had frenzied eyes.

Most importantly, the evil ghost’s cultivation was in the early stage of the tribulation transcending realm, which explained why it could withstand the double’s soul power attack.

Seeing the evil ghost, Shen Xu narrowed his eyes with a thoughtful expression.

’It must be ng Quan’s natal ghost.’ He thought.

From what he knew, ghost refiners could forcibly enhance their natal ghost’s cultivation by allowing them to eat other contracted ghosts.

However, this was a double-edged sword.

On one hand, the ghost’s cultivation would temporarily increase by leaps and bounds, allowing the owner to win a difficult fight, but on the other hand, the owner would encounter several problems.

First, evil ghosts were fundantally evil creatures and raising their cultivation above their master’s level was giving them a chance to rebel.

If the owner was not careful, the ghost would rebel and escape his control. When that happened, the owner would lose a layer of skin even if they didn’t die.

Second, forcibly raising an evil ghost’s cultivation required the owner’s blood essence.

Blood essence was unlike ordinary blood.

Although it was replenishable, the recovery ti is long, and during that ti, the ghost refiner’s cultivation would stagnate and may even fall.

Third, controlling a higher realm evil ghost was difficult, and the owner could only do it for a few monts before exhausting his qi.

Thinking this, Shen Xu narrowed his eyes and looked at the evil ghost.

’I only need to endure it for a short while.’ He thought.

However, he was not the kind to passively endure an opponent’s attack.

’I can’t compete with soul power but...’ He thought, and a small smile played on his lips.

A mont later, he raised his hamr and prepared to smash the evil ghost, but ng Quan snorted with a contemptuous expression.

"Your soul power is useless against my evil ghost." He said, but Shen Xu didn’t stop his actions.

Soon after, his hamrhead collided with the evil ghost, and a pained screech filled the atmosphere.

Hearing the screech, Shen Xu nodded in satisfaction, but ng Quan couldn’t help but be confused.

"What did you do?" He demanded, but the double didn’t answer him.

Instead, he raised his hamr, wanting to deliver another smash, but the evil ghost was not stupid.

When it sensed the attack, it hastily escaped and rushed towards Shen Xu, its fingers contorted into claws.

It arrived before the double in the blink of an eye, and before he could react, the evil ghost clawed downwards, wanting to tear Shen Xu into pieces.

However, Shen Xu was a weapon refiner and had countless defensive weapons on his body.

At this ti, several hair accessories were shattered, but the double was not injured.

"You actually have defensive weapons that can withstand tribulation transcending realm attacks?" ng Quan asked, and a trace of greed flashed in his eyes.

He was the descendant of a big family in the Ten Evils sect territory.

However, ng Quan was not the only descendant, and he couldn’t monopolise the clan’s resources.

Most importantly, even tribulation transcending realm cultivators didn’t have enough level nine weapons, so how could it be his turn to receive one?

’This Shen Xu is too rich.’ He thought, and his eyes subconsciously drifted to the storage ring on the double’s finger.

"Mine." He muttered and directed the evil ghost to attack more vigorously.

After receiving the order, the evil ghost released its qi pressure, wanting to suppress Shen Xu, but the double was least afraid of suppression.

After all, he not only had the earring that Zhen Yuan made for him but also his father’s bracelet.

With those two artefacts, Shen Xu could disregard qi intimidation even if he encountered an immortal realm cultivator.

Seeing that the double could ignore its qi pressure, the evil ghost grew angry and screeched at the top of its voice.

Simultaneously, Shen Xu felt his soul shake, and a trace of unease filled his heart.

However, he wasn’t dazed for too long.

After realising that the evil ghost was trying to use sound to break his soul, he imdiately built a soul power wall around himself.

Although the wall couldn’t completely negate the evil ghost’s sound attack, it could disperse most of it, ensuring that Shen Xu was not injured.

’This is not a lasting solution.’ He thought.

After all, building a soul power wall consud too much energy, and he wasn’t confident he could outlast ng Quan.

Thinking this, Shen Xu put away his hamr and opened his right hand.

A mont later, a purple fla appeared on his palm, filling the atmosphere with a crackling sound.

"It’s a strange fire. You actually have a strange fire." ng Quan exclaid, recalling the previous incident.

He couldn’t understand how Shen Xu had managed to injure his upgraded evil ghost, but now that he saw the strange fire, he realised that the double must have infused his hamr with not only soul power but also strange fire.

"You are right, but there is no prize." Shen Xu said.
