Chapter 964: Chapter 618 Side Task: Ghost Valley’s Last Wish

The intelligence we needed was in hand, so at this moment, all four of them pulled out all the stops and unleashed their strongest techniques.

Being a Taoist Extraordinary, Pan Ke unleased a Taoist secret skill with his iron sword cutting across the sky, the Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique!

Lightning flashed upon the iron sword, striking down like thunder and cleaving off half of one of the giant two-headed serpent’s heads.

Then there was Qiu Wentian, raising her greatsword high. A formidable aura that demanded attention burst forth, the kind mentioned in Confucian teachings as the Righteous Qi.

Already imbued with a sense of justice, Qiu Wentian possessed a natural abundance of Righteous Qi. Now, her sword imbued with the vast Righteous Qi, was enough to strike terror into the heart of any evil spirit.

The petite woman leapt up with her greatsword in hand, cleaving into the back of the two-headed serpent, the blade burying deep into the serpent’s flesh.

At the same time, Qiu Wentian forcefully kicked off the serpent’s body, dragging the greatsword through it like an ox plowing the field, carving a massive wound and nearly flaying the two-headed giant serpent alive.

Elsewhere, Ghost Hand’s face began to show a blue facemask with the mouth of a thunderbolt deity, his back sprouting a pair of phantasmal wings while his iron hammer and nails glittered with arcs of electricity.

It was none other than the Conference Devil, the Faceless Man that Li Changhe had encountered in the disaster fog.

At this moment, he was using the thunderbolt mask. He took up the thunder hammer and iron nails, hammering towards the giant two-headed serpent from a distance, and huge bolts of lightning appeared. Stone fragments flew and it was unclear whether the two-headed giant serpent was dead or alive.

The kimono-clad old man was terrified, even the Three Corpses that possessed him now were shaken by the formidable power of these three.

These three... they were equals to him, or perhaps even stronger!

The long-absent feeling of panic was beginning to emerge from within the Three Corpses.

On a night filled with gunsmoke, there had also been a person who instilled such fear in him.

That was Li Kun, whom he encountered during World War II! This fear had become an obsession and an inner demon for the kimono-clad old man throughout his life.

It was precisely to eliminate Li Kun that the kimono-clad old man gave up resistance and was completely occupied by the Three Corpses God, because he knew that Li Kun would stand no chance against the Three Corpses God!

And now, the kimono-clad old man turned to run, aware that he stood no chance against these three. He wanted to witness Li Kun’s death himself, and it appeared his end might be near.

But at the moment he turned,

he sensed a lethal danger and quickly drew his samurai sword, facing the young man approaching him.

The young man was slowly getting closer, his presence soaring with every step he took. After a few steps, he seemed to carry the force of an entire army, overwhelmingly dominant.

Even the Gold Armored Taoist Soldiers involuntarily distanced themselves from the young man.

"Why does Hua Country have people like you? Why!" the kimono-clad old man roared, with his samurai sword bursting forth a sharp blade light.

He had once described Ghost Hand as a fearless calf not scared of the tiger.

Truthfully, he was the same. In his youth, he was already a renowned expert in Japan’s Extraordinary Realm, one of the esteemed ’Seven Knives’, arrogant and proud.

He was reckless in his younger days, believing he could do anything in the world, until he met Li Kun on the battlefield.

Li Kun completely shattered his confidence and arrogance. He would never forget his trembling self, cowering beneath an army table.

Now, in his old age with diminished strength and waning ambition, yet another youth from Hua Country brought him this unavoidable sense of terror, fueling his intense rage.

He resented, despised the continuation of Hua Country’s Extraordinary inheritance and its Firewood passing.

While his own country’s Extraordinary system had thoroughly declined.

When the Three Corpses God took over the bodies of his disciples, he was utterly hopeless. The realm of Japan’s Extraordinary would likely never regain its former glory.

But he refused to accept this outcome.

So, he would rather give up resistance, voluntarily allow the Three Corpses to possess him, and use the Three Corpses God to kill these people.

"Slash!" Knowing he couldn’t escape, the man in the kimono mustered his last bit of strength, roaring as he swung his blade, unleashing one final brilliant death knell.

However, the azure blade light illuminated the night sky.

The next second, the old man saw his treasured sword being cut in two, and then his field of vision began to roll and shake, finally freezing on a headless corpse.

This remnant from World War II, surviving to this day, ultimately met his end under Li Changhe’s blade.

Unlike the other three, each possessing extraordinary methods, Li Changhe’s Soldier prowess was extraordinary, devoid of any Magical Skill—at least, he didn’t use any.

What he relied on was his own comprehension of abilities, as well as the Black Mud Divinity he wielded.

That is to say, the techniques of a Celestial.

"It seems that fine-quality equipment, once infused with a hundred points of Black Mud Divinity, will degrade in an extremely short amount of time," observed Li Changhe, paying no serious heed to the old man in the kimono. Instead, he analyzed his own Divinity.

After all, having battled Ghost Hand and summoned the great serpent, that old ghost was already burnt out. There was nothing to be proud of in killing this guy with a general’s robe that had absorbed a hundred Black Mud Divinity.

Seeing his blade turn to ash in his hand, Li Changhe drew a long sword from behind him once again.

Infusing more Black Mud, he slashed at the golden-armored Taoist Soldier approaching him. The next second, the dark long sword pierced through the forehead of the Taoist Soldier, who trembled and then vanished into points of light, leaving behind a crushed golden bean in its place.

Li Changhe’s eyes lit up, and he swiftly picked up the bean. Although he had the Indomitable Ride of Hundred Tigers to rely on, unafraid of group battles, no one would complain about having too many methods at their disposal. This Planting Beans into Soldiers was quite good.

Upon picking up the golden bean, a note immediately popped up in Li Changhe’s consciousness.

[Taoist Soldier Golden Beans (Damaged)]

[Quality: Broken]

[Effect: A medium for casting the Planting Beans into Soldiers magical skill]

[Note: A technique of the holy personage of Ghost Valley]

It was a pity that the golden bean was already spent. Regretting it, Li Changhe discarded the long sword that had turned to dregs. He took out another broadsword.

This time, he had to try to increase the Black Mud Divinity content bit by bit.

Seeking to maintain the strength of the divine attack while extending the endurance of the sword.

Previously, after clashing with Wu Ma, the amount of Black Mud Divinity Li Changhe could freely use had increased from 20 points to 45 points.

Given enough time, he could certainly find the right ratio.

But the next second, a new prompt popped up in his consciousness.

[Unlocked Side Task: Ghost Valley’s Last Wish]

[Task Objective: Re-seal the Three Corpses of Ghost Valley back into the Soul Locking Coffin]

[Task Reward: Ghost Valley’s Gift]

[Note 1: When ascending the Heavenly Road, attacked by a Demon, injured by the Stubborn Corpse. Knowing he couldn’t return to heaven, he sealed the Stubborn Corpse within the coffin.]

[Note 2: Stay away from the Dragon Vein!]

A side mission unlocked? Was it because he had touched the golden bean?

Li Changhe felt a stir in his heart, considering the notes... Guiguzi encountered an attack from outside when ascending the Heavenly Road, leading to the failure of the Cutting Three Corpses.

But what exactly was the Demon? Another divine creature?

"However, this does provide us with a solution," Li Changhe thought. "Do we just need to put it back in?"
