Seeing the Ghost Princess's magical weaponry was unusually strange, Ming Qi, intent on testing it out, snapped his fingers, and with a flick of his finger, the long-unused Yellow Dragon Spear was already in his hand.
He thrust the spear forward, and with a swish, a wolf's howl emanated from the Yellow Dragon Spear, thoroughly imbued with the mysteries of the wolf.
A surge of Yuan Qi erupted, and a gigantic wolf-headed phantom flew from the spear's tip, meeting the Ghost Princess's oncoming chain.
Both were now airborne, Ming Qi relying on his Vermillion Bird Divine Wings, while the Ghost Princess soared directly through the air. Ming Qi's speed was significantly faster than the Ghost Princess's.
With his speed advantage, Ming Qi's attack was also accelerated. When the Ghost Princess's Soul-Snatching Chains were still a few meters away from Ming Qi, Ming Qi's spear had already struck them.
The powerful collision caused the weapons in their hands to freeze, and then they separated in an instant.
The clash between the two was surprisingly evenly matched.
Ming Qi looked at Gui Ji with some surprise. He hadn't expected her attack, though seemingly unimpressive, to be truly underestimated, possessing an extraordinary power.
Gui Ji was even more surprised. Although she knew her own strength well, her soul-snatching attack was not something that could be easily withstood by ordinary men. This seemingly simple and casual attack actually contained immense magical power. Even Du Huifeng hadn't dared to say he could withstand it, but he had unexpectedly withstood it without batting an eyelid.
Knowing that Ming Qi was a formidable opponent, Gui Ji didn't dare to be careless. As her Yuan Qi surged, a hazy black light enveloped the Soul-Snatching Chain in her hand, giving it an incomparably menacing look.
Ming Qi, on his part, drew out the Azure King Shield, combined with the Yellow Dragon War Spear, and held it in his hand. The Soul-Snatching Chain in Gui Ji's hand held an uncanny and immense power; it was not to be taken lightly.
Chi!
With a thought, a dazzling golden celestial fire suddenly emerged from the Yellow Dragon Spear, fueled by his Yuan Power. With a flick of his spear, Ming Qi launched the attack without any fuss.
Qing Zhu and the others nearby were unable to intervene. Ming Qi and the Feihe Sect had joined forces to deal with Yanyu Mountain Villa. They had no idea which side to take: whether to temporarily align with the Feihe Sect like Ming Qi, or to switch sides and cooperate with Yanyu. For a moment, the four of them stood there dumbfounded, completely spectators.
In just a few breaths, Ming Qi had clashed with the Ghost Princess several times. The powerful force shook the surrounding space, and with the chaos reigning atop the Immortal Dragon Summit, it was difficult to discern the situation.
The night was already dark, but Ming Qi's eyes were fixed solely on the Ghost Princess, dancing like a phantom.
This Ghost Princess lived up to her name. Her speed alone was astonishing.
However, after the initial probing, Ming Qi had a clear idea. This Ghost Lady seemed to possess no remarkable qualities aside from her speed and the Soul-Snatching Chains she wielded. Her sole advantage in holding her own for a quarter of an hour was the Soul-Snatching Chains, her magical weapon.
"You're relying on a magic weapon, so I'll break it first."
A plan suddenly dawned on Ming Qi. If he could break the Soul-Snatching Chains, he'd easily defeat her.
Swish!
Ming Qi's figure flashed, and the next moment, only a ball of flame remained where he had stood. He had appeared dozens of meters in the sky, his Vermillion Bird wings spread wide, a cloud of flames rising into the sky. The feathers on his back transformed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Phoenix Dances in the Nine Heavens!
Without hesitation, Ming Qi selected the most powerful technique he could currently wield from the Vermillion Bird Burning Heaven Sutra.
"A trump card? Too bad you can't match my speed."
Seeing the transformation of Ming Qi's wings, Gui Ji knew it was a sign of a powerful magical power. However, she believed her speed was her innate advantage. No matter how powerful the opponent's magical power was, she could leap out of the attack range in a flash. Even if his magical power could instantly kill the Martial King, it would be completely ineffective.
With Yi Wu holding the Soul-Snatching Chain, Gui Ji naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity and rushed directly towards Ming Qi.
As the wings transformed, Ming Qi's hands were also busy. He raised both hands and moved them strangely across his chest, one milky white seal after another being injected into the Suzaku Divine Wings.
The powerful devouring ability of the Eight Trigrams Seal Technique was Ming Qi's foremost skill, and his combat philosophy was clear: either don't attack, or kill the opponent with one strike, just like he had done that day when he slew Huang Tianba of the Blood Sword Mercenaries.
In a matter of a few breaths, the original Vermillion Bird Divine Wings had completely transformed into Vermillion Bird Divine Feathers, each feather clearly visible, burning with dazzling golden celestial fire.
Ghost Princess appeared before her in the blink of an eye, the Soul-Snatching Chain in her hand ripping through the air with a tearing sound, and at the same time, circles of black magic patterns bloomed from its tip.
Whoosh!
Ming Qi naturally wouldn't stand still and allow Ghost Princess to attack him. Ghost Princess's Soul-Snatching Chain was fast, but Ming Qi's speed was even faster. He barely moved, leaving behind an afterimage of golden flames and blood-red light before he vanished completely.
"What a swift movement!"
Ghost Princess was shocked to see Ming Qi disappear in the blink of an eye. She had assumed Ming Qi's speed couldn't possibly be that fast, but now it was ridiculously fast.
Then Ghost Princess realized he must have been holding back from the previous battle and was planning a sudden burst to catch her off guard.
"What a cunning fellow!"
Ghost Princess thought to herself, but she didn't dare to be careless. Since the opponent was holding back his strength, waiting for an opportunity, and now that his strength had been revealed, it meant his most powerful attack was imminent.
Chains in hand, Ghost Princess activated her spiritual sense and aura, sensing Ming Qi's position the moment he vanished from his position.
However, just as Ghost Princess moved, before she had even flown a few meters, a resounding cry was heard from the sky, followed by a blaze of red.
This shocking crimson wasn't limited to a single area; the entire top of the Immortal Dragon, including the surrounding air, was instantly stained a blood-red.
"Today I will send you to the west!"
A voice whispered in her ear, and Ghost Princess shuddered in shock.
The sound was soft, but clear, and it was clear that the opponent's accumulated attack had been completed!
Just as Ghost Princess was furiously trying to mobilize her Yuanli for a powerful strike, a cloud of fiery red feathers transformed into thousands of sharp arrows and flew towards her.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
The continuous sound of feathers piercing the air made her heart leap. She abandoned all else and stepped forward, increasing her speed to the limit, attempting to escape!
But it was too late. The flaming feathers were as fast as lightning, instantly leaving Ghost Princess with a trail of celestial flames.
Sizzle!
The raging golden fire, like mercury pouring down the ground, burned everything it touched without hindrance.
"Now!"
Ming Qi's mind struck a chord. He waved his hands and released two streams of Yuanli. The surging Yuanli transformed into dragons of fire in the air, entwining themselves around Ghost Princess.
"Just stay inside!"
Ming Qi shouted, exerting force with both hands once more. Ghost Princess, entangled like a dumpling, flew towards him involuntarily.
The Supreme Diagram had already been opened. Seeing it approaching, Ming Qi exerted force with both hands, yanking it along with the surging fire dragon into the Divine Diagram's space.
Originally, it would have been best to immediately fuse and refine it after controlling it, but that wasn't possible at the moment. Not to mention Du Huifeng was nearby, and there was even an eighth- or ninth-level Innate cultivator watching closely.
After throwing Ghost Princess into the Divine Diagram's space, Ming Qi immediately awakened Wuxiang Tongzi, instructing him to closely monitor Ghost Princess's movements. If that proved impossible, he would activate the Divine Diagram to refine and fuse her directly.
Swoosh!
Just as Ming Qi had decisively eliminated Ghost Princess, he saw two figures swiftly rushing up from the west of Immortal Dragon Peak.
"It's them!"
