The Legend of the Demon Hunter

Xiao Zhu did not directly answer Zhongli Laogui's question. He was disdainful of communicating with a man like Zhongli Laogui who had a brutal character and sinister means. He decisively held the Xiyin sword and chased after Zhongli Laogui again.

Old ghost Zhongli finally realized that something was wrong. He looked at the little ghost in the distance again and found that under the shining light of Xia Shi's divine moon, the little ghost was already dying. He was afraid that it would be completely purified soon.

At this moment, the fear in his heart occupied everything. He no longer had the heart to pay attention to anything. He turned into a ray of light and fled towards the north.

"Want to run?" Xiao Zhu was prepared for Zhongli Laogui's escape. He saw three earth walls rising from the ground, blocking Zhongli Laogui's way forward.

Zhongli Laogui threw the soul ghost bone in his hand, and the earth wall was immediately broken, but Xiao Zhu had already caught up with him in the short time the earth wall blocked him. He threw out a huge vine woven net in his hand, blocking Zhongli Laogui.

This net just blocked Zhongli Laogui's way forward and trapped him inside. Moreover, the vine net kept shrinking, restricting Zhongli Laogui's movements.

A net like this naturally cannot trap Zhongli Laogui for a long time. As long as he is given some time, he will be able to break free.

But the key issue is time!

Xiao Zhu calculated the time that Zhongli Laogui would need to break free. He seized this fleeting opportunity and poured all his spiritual power into the Xiyin Sword in his hand. The light of Xiyin Sword suddenly surged out for dozens of meters and slashed towards Zhongli Laogui as if it was creating the world.

At this time, Zhongli Laogui had only broken two vines and it would take him at least a minute to escape, but Xiao Zhu's attack had already stopped him head-on.

He had no doubt that this blow was enough to take his life, and his fate might be the same as that of Lang Qingyu, cut in half by Xi Yinjian.

Old Ghost Zhongli's face turned red, his eyes were bloodshot, and he let out a painful roar.

If an ordinary demon hunter were caught in such a situation, there would be almost no chance of escape.

But Zhongli Laogui is different. He is a demon hunter who has practiced ghost magic for hundreds of years. He still has one last hope. However, the cost of this magic is too high, and he has never used it in his life.

But now is the time to take action!

"Soul, spirit, transform into a physical body, and abandon the mortal body..." Zhongli Laogui chanted the spell silently. The next moment, a soul came out of Zhongli Laogui's body. The vine net had no restraining effect on the soul. It easily passed through the vine net, and then turned into a ray of light and fled to the north.

When ghost magic is practiced to the extreme and reaches the realm of hunter king, the soul can be separated from the mortal body. However, this spell can only be used once in a lifetime, because once separated, the soul will never be able to return to the body, and will become a lonely ghost wandering between heaven and earth.

Therefore, even those who practice ghost magic will never be willing to use this magic easily unless it is a life-and-death moment.

But in the current situation, Zhongli Laogui has no other choice.

It was the first time that Xiao Zhu encountered such strange ghost magic. When he saw the soul of old ghost Zhongli leaving his body, he was unable to react for a moment. By the time he reacted, the soul had already escaped a hundred meters away.

Zhongli Laogui is a vicious and vengeful person. If his body is destroyed today and he is allowed to escape, he will definitely be retaliated against. It would be like burying a time bomb next to him, and he doesn't know when it will explode.

This is a result that Xiao Zhu absolutely does not want to see.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhu spread the wind and thunder wings behind him and chased after Zhongli Laogui, but Zhongli Laogui's soul was flying at an incredibly fast speed. Instead of narrowing the distance between Xiao Zhu and him, it was gradually increasing.

In a hurry, Xiao Zhu suddenly thought of something. He took out the broken blood-glazed sword from the glimmering amber bracelet and threw it towards the old ghost Zhongli who was fleeing in front.

"call out!"

The Blood Glaze turned into a red light and flew out from Xiao Zhu's hand. It was extremely fast, making a sharp sound of breaking through the air. The Blood Glaze sensed the soul of the old ghost Zhongli in the distance, and it became extremely excited as if it had come alive.

Old Ghost Zhongli sensed something unusual behind him. In his soul form, he was particularly afraid of the bloody aura emitted by Xue Liuli. He ran towards the north with all his strength, trying to get out of Xue Liuli's attack range.

But soon after, the bloody evil aura in the blood glaze caught up with him, and Zhongli Laogui suddenly felt weak all over, as if all his strength had been drained away, and a strong sucking force was dragging him towards the direction of the blood glaze.

It was not until this time that the old ghost Zhongli truly felt despair and fear. He roared loudly, making a sharp and piercing ghost cry.

But Xue Liuli did not let him go. The next moment, Zhongli Laogui's soul was sucked into Xue Liuli. This demon hunter who had practiced ghost magic for a hundred years ended up with his soul torn apart.

In the distance, Xiao Zhu slowly flew over. He saw clearly the scene of Blood Glaze devouring Zhongli Lao's ghost, but he did not rush forward because he was afraid of encountering any sudden changes. After a while, when Blood Glaze completely calmed down, Xiao Zhu moved forward and grabbed its hilt.

He vaguely felt that the bloody evil energy inside the blood glass seemed to be a little stronger.

Xiao Zhu looked towards the north where Zhongli Laogui was fleeing. He knew that Zhongli Laogui was leading only a vanguard force, while the real army of monsters was still on the way.

Killing Zhongli Laogui is just the beginning of this battle.

At this time, the Demon Cult army on the ground made chaotic sounds, because the two main commanders Zhongli Laogui and Lang Qingyu were both killed. These Demon Cult armies were leaderless, and they broke out into chaos. Suddenly, roars and trampling sounds were endless, and the Demon Cult army began to flee in all directions.

The skeleton general who rushed into the demon cult's army was also reduced to a pile of skeletons due to the death of Zhongli Laogui.

"Brother, there might be a riot here soon, let's retreat to the Eternal Forest first!" Xia Shi said as he caught up with Xiao Zhu.

Xiao Zhu nodded and said, "No problem, let's go back to the Eternal Forest first. The real pope of the Demon Cult has not yet appeared. We don't know when they will attack here, so let's rest first! By the way, how is Xue Miao?"

"It's okay now. You'll be back to normal after a short rest." Xia Shi replied.

Hearing this, Xiao Zhu looked at Xia Shi in surprise and praised her, "Shi'er, you are amazing! Support demon hunters have always been extremely scarce in the Critical Continent. I really don't know if there is any other support demon hunter in the world who can compare to you now."

Xia Shi seemed to hear two meanings in this sentence. She lowered her head shyly, and a happy smile appeared on her face.
