CHAPTER 1361: CHAPTER 598: SLAY! DEVOUR THE BLACK GHOST OLD DEMON!

Lanling couldn’t help but be overjoyed; the Ghost King really entrusted the Black Ghost Old Demon with something to safeguard.

What on earth could this treasure be? Could it be the Ghost King’s Sword? That doesn’t seem right!

After the Black Ghost Old Demon left, Khan Xie Li regained consciousness.

Just now, he had been brandishing his greatsword in a grand battle against the air, causing a tremendous rumble that destroyed half of this huge stone cave.

Now awake, Khan Xie Li’s eyes were initially filled with confusion, then he said, "Miserable Near-Human Tribe, where is the octopus?"

Lanling ignored him.

Just moments later, the Black Ghost Old Demon surfaced. Then, its pair of eyes stared at Khan Xie Li again.

The powerful spiritual power caused Khan Xie Li to fall into another Illusion Realm, once again battling against the air.

On one of the Black Ghost Old Demon’s tentacles was a dark blue box, which should be the item the Ghost King had entrusted it to keep, though one could not ascertain what kind of treasure it was.

"Your esteemed Majesty, this is the item you entrusted me to safeguard. Please take it back!" The Black Ghost Old Demon held the dark blue box with two tentacles, offering it with utmost reverence.

Lanling squinted his eyes, reaching out to take the box.

However...

At this moment, the Black Ghost Old Demon suddenly exuded a murderous aura.

One of its tentacles wrapped around Lanling’s neck, while another viciously drilled into Lanling’s heart.

"Even if you are the Ghost King, what of it?" the Black Ghost Old Demon said coldly, "I’ve been your slave for hundreds of years now. It’s not easy to regain my freedom and command the winds and clouds in my territory, so why should I return to being your lackey?"

The Black Ghost Old Demon lifted Lanling up to its massive, hideous head.

This head, dozens of meters in diameter, was incredibly ugly and terrifying, covered with dozens of eyes, placed all over without any order. Each of them glared at Lanling, emitting a sinister and cold light.

"Yes, you once granted me wisdom, power, and immense energy," the Black Ghost Old Demon said icily, "But the reason I obeyed you and was loyal to you was because of your incredible strength, because I couldn’t resist. Now, with you being so weak, I could easily tear you to pieces. Why should I obey you now? Why should I remain loyal to you? Wouldn’t it be thrilling to kill you, continue my reign, and seize your treasures?"

"My liege, you’re too naive. Now, you can die!" the Black Ghost Old Demon roared viciously.

Then...

Its tentacle fiercely drilled into Lanling’s heart, desperately sucking his blood.

It intended to first drain Lanling dry, then tear him to pieces, consuming his bones and flesh wholly.

"Hahaha..."

The Black Ghost Old Demon ravenously drank Lanling’s blood.

However...

Suddenly, its body began to swell, turning crimson!

"Ah...ah...ah"

It let out an unbearably agonizing wail, hurriedly withdrawing its tentacle from Lanling’s chest.

Lanling’s heart healed and recovered instantly.

Lanling’s blood was not something that could be consumed easily.

His Golden Bloodline, having entered the body of the Black Ghost Old Demon’s octopus form, didn’t replenish energy; instead, it took control, launching a frenzied assault within its body.

Indeed, Lanling’s Demon Blood, like a sentient energy, attacked every tissue within the colossal body of the Black Ghost Old Demon.

Moreover, Lanling’s Demon Blood was fighting its way through the octopus’s body, heading directly to its brain.

"Ah...ah..."

The Black Ghost Old Demon struggled desperately in the water, flailing wildly.

In that instant, its tentacles, thousands of meters long, effortlessly crushed the ten thousand-jin boulders within the cave, striking the ground with deep fissures.

At this moment, Centaur Khan Xie Li regained consciousness once more.

Then...

He brandished his greatsword once again, charging at the Black Ghost Old Demon.

Furiously savage, he battled fiercely with the Black Ghost Old Demon.

Lanling also suddenly drew his greatsword, rushing to attack the Black Ghost Old Demon.

However...

"Pff..." One of the Black Ghost Old Demon’s tentacles slammed down, sending Lanling flying several hundred meters away, crashing hard against the cave wall, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

Instantly, all of Lanling’s ribs shattered, as if he were about to lose consciousness.

The most overpowering aspect of the Black Ghost Old Demon was its cultivation in spiritual power, yet with Lanling’s Demon Blood invading its body, that power was rendered ineffective. Nonetheless, its martial prowess turned out to be incredibly formidable as well, easily sending the Five-Star Great Demon Warrior Lanling flying.

And even more fearsome was Khan Xie Li.

A single tentacle of the Black Ghost Old Demon could instantly overwhelm Lanling, but Khan Xie Li managed to engage in combat with the Black Ghost Old Demon solely by his martial strength.

The Black Ghost Old Demon had eight tentacles in total, one of which absorbed Lanling’s heart’s blood, was infiltrated by Demon Blood, and lost control.

There were still seven tentacles remaining.

Another tentacle instantly overwhelmed Lanling, hurling him several hundred meters, forcing blood from his mouth, and breaking his ribs.

But, Lanling’s spilt Demon Blood splashed onto its tentacles.

The bizarre event occurred once more. Lanling’s blood, as if a living energy, suddenly surged into the tentacle and burrowed towards the Black Ghost Old Demon’s brain.

"Ah... Ah..." the Black Ghost Old Demon screamed once again.

Another one of its tentacles was destroyed.

The mighty Khan Xie Li, fighting alone against the six tentacles of the Black Ghost Old Demon.

Who would have thought, he didn’t fall behind at all.

Just how high is his martial prowess? One of the Black Ghost Old Demon’s tentacles could effortlessly slay Lanling.

And yet, Khan Xie Li fought six tentacles alone.

"Shua..." Khan Xie Li let out a thunderous roar, like a bolt of lightning.

His massive sword, over three meters long, slashed down, severing one of the Black Ghost Old Demon’s huge tentacles.

The Black Ghost Old Demon let out another earth-shattering wail.

Then... it seemed to send out some kind of signal.

Immediately, shadows surged from all around the cave, rushing towards Khan Xie Li.

These were the slaves the Black Ghost Old Demon had long imprisoned; strong in martial arts but weak in spiritual power, from the Barbarian Tribes, including a Centaur.

It was a bit smaller than Khan Xie Li, but still over four meters tall and more than seven meters long.

This should be Khan Xie Li’s son, Xie Li II.

However, its mind had long been controlled by the Black Ghost Old Demon, and hearing the command, it crazily launched an attack on its father!

In an instant, dozens of powerful experts, along with the Black Ghost Old Demon, surrounded and attacked Khan Xie Li alone.

"Whirlwind Demon Slash!" Khan Xie Li bellowed.

His entire body spun wildly.

The giant sword in his hand became a terrifying meat grinder.

All the slaves who collided with it were shredded into pulp, unable to come within five meters of his body.

Lanling was truly in awe.

Once free from spiritual control, Khan Xie Li’s combat power was simply explosive.

Holy... He’s so damn amazing.

On the battlefield, he’s an invincible meat grinder.

However, soon Khan Xie Li ran into trouble.

Because his son was crazily charging at him. And he couldn’t harm his son, so he quickly found himself on the defensive.

"Wretched Near-Human Tribe, what are you waiting for? Come help!" Khan Xie Li shouted.

By this time, Lanling’s body was healed. Wielding his greatsword, he charged at the Black Ghost Old Demon again.

One of the Black Ghost Old Demon’s tentacles whipped fiercely.

Once more, Lanling was sent flying, blood spraying out.

This mouthful of Demon Blood once again burrowed into its tentacle, and towards its brain.

Yet another tentacle of the Black Ghost Old Demon was destroyed.

Lanling followed this tentacle, charging towards its brain.

The Black Ghost Old Demon was utterly resentful at this moment.

Why was this happening?

Why was Lanling’s blood so terrifying, that a mere touch could destroy a tentacle?

At this moment, Khan Xie Li displayed divine might, blocking his son’s attack with a short sword in one hand, while wielding his greatsword to slay the Black Ghost Old Demon with the other.

A piercing, wretched scream.

Another tentacle of the Black Ghost Old Demon was cut off by him.

From then on, it became the stage for the powerful Centaur Khan’s performance.

He alone annihilated all of the Black Ghost Old Demon’s slaves, then severed all its tentacles, leaving only a bare head.

All the while having to fend off his own son.

Such combat power was utterly shocking.

The Black Ghost Old Demon, devoid of tentacles, screamed furiously.

Because Lanling’s Demon Blood finally burrowed into its brain.

Khan Xie Li leaped onto the Black Ghost Old Demon’s head, and thrust his greatsword down towards its crown!

"Wait..." Lanling shouted, as he discovered that his Demon Blood was voraciously devouring the Black Ghost Old Demon’s energy.

This would undoubtedly bring a massive boost to his own cultivation!
