Chapter 139: Ghost Beast King

The lion in the water could actually spout fire!

Qin Yun hurriedly dodged the fireball and then carried Xiao Yuemei, sprinting through the air.

This black giant lion was incredibly powerful, reaching the level of a Mystic Beast.

Xiao Yuemei, lying on Qin Yun's back, watched the black giant lion chasing them from the ground and said in confusion, "This guy is clearly a fire-attribute lion, so why did he run into the water?"

Qin Yun also found it strange. He was focused on running and hadn't had the chance to observe the beast closely, so he asked Xiao Yuemei for more details.

He asked, "Is this a ghost beast?"

Xiao Yuemei nodded and said, "Yes! I can sense that violent mental energy; it's definitely a ghost beast. It might even be the leader of those two groups of ghost beasts we encountered earlier."

"Very likely! The giant turtle must have come out of the river!" Qin Yun thought of something terrifying and exclaimed, "There's a problem with the Yunlong River! Both demonic beasts and evil beasts often go to the riverbank to drink water... They were probably possessed by evil spirits while they were there."

There were a large number of evil spirits appearing in the Yunlong River!

He believed this was the reason for the recent surge in evil and ghost beasts in the Yunlong Mountains.

"This giant lion might have originally been a fire lion, but the possessing evil spirit fears fire, so it immersed itself in the water to cool down," Xiao Yuemei speculated.

"If that's true, then the black giant lion's strength must have decreased significantly," Qin Yun suddenly realized and decided to take down the black giant lion.

Qin Yun ran through the air, with the black giant lion fiercely chasing below, smashing through many giant trees and roaring up at the sky from time to time.

Xiao Yuemei suddenly shouted, "Qin Yun, look at the giant lion!"

Qin Yun turned his head and saw the black giant lion rolling and roaring on the ground, seemingly in great distress.

He immediately stopped and carefully observed the black giant lion below.

The black giant lion looked extremely painful, emitting roars and thrashing about wildly on the ground. A faint golden aura began to seep from its black body.

"Ah... I sense two souls. Could it be that there are two souls fighting inside the black giant lion?" Xiao Yuemei exclaimed.

"It must be!" Qin Yun quickly took out several ghost-repelling talismans and threw them at the black giant lion below.

The ghost-repelling talismans fell and burst with ghost-repelling power, enveloping the area.

The wildly agitated black giant lion gradually calmed down, with more and more of the faint golden aura emanating from its body, and the blackness gradually fading away.

Suddenly, a black shadow flew out of the giant lion's body, accompanied by a sinister curse, "Damn human brat, ruining my plans, I'll kill you!"

Seeing the black shadow flying towards him, Qin Yun was startled and frantically threw a large number of ghost-repelling talismans, densely striking the black shadow that called itself the Ghost King.

The ghost-repelling talismans exploded with a burst of energy, blocking the black shadow.

"Ahhh... How do you have so many ghost-repelling talismans? This spiritual pattern vanished ten thousand years ago, how did you obtain it?" the Ghost King cried out in pain.

"Qin Yun, do you have any more? Throw them all out, kill this guy!" Xiao Yuemei said.

"I have dozens more!"

Just as Qin Yun finished speaking, the Ghost King hastily fled, flying towards the group of giant turtles.

Xiao Yuemei cried out in alarm, "Not good!"

The Ghost King moved very fast, reaching the group of giant turtles in a few moments and merging into one of the turtles.

The giant turtle suddenly came to life, becoming extremely vicious and releasing waves of black mist that enveloped the other turtle corpses, devouring them.

Qin Yun looked at the golden-fire giant lion, which had almost recovered, and saw it charging towards the group of giant turtles, roaring in anger.

"The Ghost King is devouring all the giant turtles..." Qin Yun watched as a giant turtle, covered in black mist, viciously charged towards the golden-fire giant lion at an alarming speed.

"The golden-fire giant lion is no match for the Ghost King!" Xiao Yuemei's expression was grave. "We must kill this Ghost King; otherwise, after defeating the golden-fire giant lion, his next target will be us!"

Qin Yun understood that if the Ghost King pursued them, they would have no chance of escaping.

He landed on the ground, took out a furnace and a large pile of precious high-grade beast skins, as well as the two thousand purple crystals he had obtained from selling his storage belt.

"What are you going to do?" Xiao Yuemei frowned.

"I'm going to create a ghost-repelling talisman array. You can help me..." Although Qin Yun was very tense, he remained calm as he melted the beast skins in the furnace.

"What do you need me to do?" Xiao Yuemei watched from the side.

"Help me lay this out..." Qin Yun took out the Nine Yang Spirit Gathering Array stone slab and handed it to Xiao Yuemei. "Follow the patterns on it and place these two thousand purple crystals evenly on top."

Xiao Yuemei nodded, her expression equally tense, as the golden-fire giant lion continued to roar in anger, and the Ghost King's overwhelming aura was suppressing it.

Qin Yun intensified the flames, burning the beast skins until they became soft like mud, then stacked them and hammered them together with the Giant Spirit King Hammer, fusing the softened skins into one piece.

He frantically used the Six Dragon Forging Techniques, hammering the beast skins, while Xiao Yuemei watched in amazement, having never seen the process of creating an array using beast skins before.

Qin Yun was drenched in sweat, not even pausing to wipe it away.

After a short while, the beast skin for the array was finally prepared.

"Start engraving the patterns, the golden-fire giant lion must hold on!" Qin Yun was extremely anxious, took a few deep breaths, and began engraving the patterns.

Although they could run, they wouldn't get far. The Ghost King's soul could fly very fast, and the golden-fire giant lion could only buy them about an hour at most.

An hour was far too short to escape the Ghost King's domain.

The golden-fire giant lion's roars grew weaker, and Qin Yun, under immense pressure, continued engraving the ghost-repelling patterns. He needed to complete several sets of ghost-repelling patterns to generate enough power to subdue the enraged Ghost King.

Half an hour passed, and Qin Yun finally completed the Ghost Suppressing Talisman Array. Xiao Yuemei had also placed two thousand purple crystal coins on the Nine Yang Spirit Gathering Array.

Qin Yun placed the Ghost Suppressing Talisman Array on the Nine Yang Spirit Gathering Array, then activated the array to absorb the spiritual energy within the purple crystal coins. He then controlled the energy gathered by the Nine Yang Spirit Gathering Array and channeled it into the Ghost Suppressing Talisman Array.

"Ha ha... human brat, you're dead!" The voice of the Ghost King echoed, and the black giant lion appeared once more.

The Golden Fire Giant Lion was possessed by the Ghost King again, transforming into the black giant lion. Though covered in wounds, its power remained terrifying.

The Ghost Suppressing Talisman Array needed time to absorb the energy!

"Yuemei, leave this to you. I'll deal with this guy!" Qin Yun still had some Ghost Suppressing Talismans in his hand. He stepped on the Fire Cloud Step and flew into the air, rushing towards the black giant lion and throwing out a Ghost Suppressing Talisman.

The power of just one Ghost Suppressing Talisman proved effective, causing the black giant lion to roar in agony.

"Human brat, I will tear you apart piece by piece." The Ghost King's furious roar was chilling, accompanied by gusts of cold wind.
