Chapter 762
Wu Qi cursed as he fled, feeling like he was at the bottom of his luck recently . It all began when someone tore through the void with a mighty artifact and threw him into the Ghost Realm . He had managed to compensate his mental loss by taming a group of heavenly ghosts and finding himself some natural treasures, and his anger had slightly eased after bumping into a long-perished ancient immortal who brought him an amazing gift .
But, just as he thought his luck was getting better, he was visited by two ghost immortals, who were as strong as peak-level Gold Immortals, and a group of high-level heavenly ghosts . And now, they were hot on his heels . It seemed that instead of getting better, his luck was turning worse .
The two ghost immortals did not pose an immediate threat, though . They were chasing at a distance that was neither too far, nor too close behind him, letting out gruesome howls from time to time . But, the group of high-level heavenly ghosts had given him a hard time . They lingered close to him, and would charge out of a random dark cloud next to him every now and then to surprise him with an attack .
It was said among the immortals in the outside world that one should never compete in speed with heavenly ghosts when they were in the Ghost Realm, because it was a crushing and despairing thing to do . Even some Primordial Immortal had admitted that no ordinary Primordial Immortal could match the speed of heavenly ghosts when they were both in the Ghost Realm .
Although the cultivation bases of the two ghost immortals were stronger than Wu Qi's, they could not match his speed . On the other hand, it was clear that these heavenly ghosts were far weaker than him, but they could fly incredibly fast . Although they could not penetrate the void and teleport, their speed was still much faster than his .
From time to time, some heavenly ghost would jump out and throw a punch or a kick at him; occasionally, a few long tails would dart over to coil up his body . The constant harassment had prevented him from flying at full speed, and allowed the two formidable ghost immortals to gradually draw closer .
Roaring furiously, Wu Qi mustered all his strength and thrust a fist toward a heavenly ghost who was leaping at him .
The heavenly ghost was a very beautiful young woman . Her lips were cherry red, her teeth whiter than snow, and her body slender and curvy . She could be considered a top beauty even in Pangu Continent . When they cultivated to the realm of Gold Immortals, heavenly ghosts had a chance of reforging their bodies, transforming themselves into appearances that were ninety percent similar to that of human beings . And when their cultivation bases reached the realm of Primordial Immortals, they could evolve their bodies to be exactly like the human beings .
As the woman leaped over, each of her ten fingernails stretched more than a foot long, their sharp pointed ends ripping through the void and leaving ten green trails of light as they went for Wu Qi's neck . At the same time, her slender tail that was about two hundred feet long suddenly swung out from between her legs like a spear, going straight for Wu Qi's brow .
The heavenly ghost's tail was incredibly tough, and its strength was stronger than the limbs . The long tail brought forth a gust of foul wind as it thrust toward Wu Qi, and when its pointed end was still a hundred feet away from him, a wisp of cold breeze had already pressed against his brow and made his skin sink for a few millimeters .
Then, she shrieked miserably as Wu Qi's heavy punch struck her claws and crushed her arms before landing forcibly on her chest . She howled and suddenly dissolved into a plume of thick smoke that drifted away, only to reappear inside a dark cloud several miles away in the next moment . A vast stream of ghost energy visible to the naked eyes could be seen rushing into her body, and her twisted and broken arms were healing rapidly amidst an eerie cracking sound .
This was the reason why heavenly ghosts were so difficult to deal with . Their fleshly bodies were extremely strong to begin with; and as they were now fighting in their own ground, the Ghost Realm, the endless supply of innate ghost energy made them literally impossible to kill . It was especially true for these heavenly ghosts of Gold Immortal realm . As long as Wu Qi did not completely wipe out their life force with one single strike, and as long as they could still breathe, they could always make a full recovery in just a few breaths of time .
Even when their souls were severely wounded, they could still be fully healed in a few breaths of time! This was the incredible blessing heavenly ghosts received when they were in the Ghost Realm, and the reason why the Ghost Realm had dared to challenge both Great Yu and the Heaven with merely thirteen Great Heavenly Ghost Kings and four hundred Ghost Saints .
Even if dozens of Primordial Immortals or Supreme Oracles dared to visit the Ghost Realm, they might not be able to kill a Great Heavenly Ghost King . However, any of the Great Heavenly Ghost Kings, who was almost impossible to be killed, could fight as long as he liked with any enemy in here . On top of that, as natural energy did not exist in the Ghost Realm, a Great Heavenly Ghost King could easily starve any enemy to death .
The sound of cloth ripping apart could be heard as several heavenly ghosts swooped down on Wu Qi and tore his clothes with their sharp claws, leaving deep bloody scratches on his tough skin . Dark green venom entered his body from their nails, causing his blood to quickly turn pale-green and stink of decay as soon as it flowed out of his body .
Wu Qi was shocked by the terrible venom of these high-level heavenly ghosts . He hastily exercised the Dragon Kill and his body abruptly grew to a hundred feet tall, with three layers of dragon scales densely covering him all over . As an immense pressure spread, Wu Qi turned to one of them, opened his mouth, and sprayed out a stream of crimson flame . The violent true flame of the dragon whistled across the void in a tens of feet thick column . The heavenly ghost's face turned pale with fear as he hurriedly dodged the flame, but one of his legs was licked by the flame, and it vanished into ashes in just the blink of an eye .
However, something happened that left Wu Qi depressed . The heavenly ghost had only retreated for a few miles away and took a few deep breaths as his leg, which had been burned to ashes, immediately grew back, looking identical to the one before he was wounded .
