Chapter 87 Soul-Eating Ghost
The branches rustled, and countless finger-sized crimson-gold willow leaves fell from the branches, scattering towards Luo Qing like a torrential rain. They were so dense that they blotted out the sky and blocked out all his space to dodge.
Faced with the overwhelming attack of willow leaves, Luo Qing neither dodged nor evaded. Instead, his dark golden spiritual power surged, and he unleashed the Sixth Revolution Golden Body.
"Ding ding ding!"
The crisp sounds of collisions were incessant. The crimson willow leaves, like sharp blades, slammed into Luo Qing's body, scattering countless sparks, yet leaving no mark, not even making him frown.
Luo Qing understood that this was not Liu Yueru's real killing move, but merely a test and a means of restraint.
Sure enough, the next moment most of the crimson gold willow leaves suddenly changed direction and quickly merged with the eighteen blood willow flying knives swirling behind Liu Yueru.
Blood and gold intertwined, and the outlines of willow leaves and flying knives gradually coalesced, eventually transforming into eighteen crimson gold cones, each over ten feet long.
The cone tip gleamed with a chilling light, carrying a powerful gust of wind that tore through the air, like eighteen shooting stars, fiercely stabbing towards Luo Qing.
This time, Luo Qing did not choose to take the hit head-on.
With a single step of his Star-Strike Step, his figure transformed into a blur as he darted out, narrowly dodging the first incoming crimson-gold cone.
Luo Qing clenched his right fist and immediately unleashed a powerful strike, the Blood Bone Fist.
Suddenly, a huge black fist shadow appeared out of thin air, carrying immense power, and instantly shattered the crimson gold cone in half.
The broken cone turned into countless pieces of gold and scattered, but Luo Qing had already used the extreme speed of the Star-Strike Step to shuttle between the remaining crimson gold cones.
He used his explosive speed to evade the enemy's attacks, and with each passing moment, he would unleash a Blood Bone Fist. Black fist shadows rose and fell, destroying the incoming crimson gold cones one by one.
In the blink of an eye, all eighteen crimson gold cones were transformed into scattered crimson gold willow leaves.
"You've got some skills."
Liu Yueru's face darkened, her hand gestures suddenly changed, and her tone became sinister.
The eighteen giant crimson-gold willows surrounding the treasure-refining altar immediately trembled violently, and countless slender willow branches shot out from the trunks, coiling towards Luo Qing like venomous snakes.
The fragments of crimson gold willow leaves that had been scattered earlier now seemed to be summoned, attaching themselves to the willow branches and instantly making the originally slender branches as thick as a person's thigh.
Countless thick willow branches intertwined, instantly forming a crisscrossing giant net that firmly trapped Luo Qing within it.
At the same time, countless tiny red-gold sparks appeared on the branches of the eighteen giant red-gold willows. The sparks gathered and rose into the sky like fireflies, gradually condensing into a huge fire cloud!
A fierce glint flashed across Liu Yueru's face. She slammed her right palm down and shouted coldly:
"Where do you think you're going to hide?"
As the shout fell, a massive pillar of crimson-gold fire, five or six zhang thick, carrying the power to incinerate everything, crashed down upon Luo Qing, who was trapped in the giant net of willow branches.
This pillar of fire was no ordinary flame; it was the Golden Sun Divine Fire.
Liu Yueru originally cultivated the Wood element technique, but after fusing with the Flame Demon bloodline, she gained the dual talent of Metal and Fire. The Golden Yang Divine Fire she condensed at this moment was far more intense than usual.
Ke Luoqing already used the Golden Sun Divine Fire to refine his body, so this Golden Sun Divine Fire not only couldn't restrain him, but could also be subtly activated by him.
Therefore, when Luo Qing was hit solidly by the pillar of fire, her legs only sank slightly before she regained her balance.
The next moment, a glint flashed in Luo Qing's eyes, and he unleashed his right fist with all his might. The enormous blood and bone fist shadow smashed the fire pillar and willow branches in front of him, creating a gap in the wall.
Immediately afterwards, Luo Qing used the Condensing Technique: Shadow Fist again, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

Seeing this, Liu Yueru not only showed no panic, but was actually delighted, a smug smile playing on her lips as she muttered to herself:
"Finally couldn't hold back anymore?"
In an instant, thick, ink-black Xuan Yin ghost energy suddenly emanated from Liu Yueru's body. The ghost energy was cold and piercing, suppressing the Golden Yang Divine Fire aura on her body.
Suddenly, a ghostly figure with a blue face and fangs slowly emerged from behind her. The ghostly figure was about ten feet tall, with blood-red eyes, hands covered in black scales, and long, sharp fingernails. It was the Soul-Eating Ghost.
As soon as the ghost appeared, it let out a piercing shriek and reached out to grab Liu Yueru, just in time to meet Luo Qing's incoming right fist.
With a loud "boom," the moment Luo Qing's right arm collided with the ghost hand, she felt an icy chill sweep over her entire body like a tidal wave, rushing along her meridians and directly attacking her primordial spirit, as if even her primordial spirit was about to be frozen.
Fortunately, Luo Qing was always cautious and had already anticipated that Liu Yueru had a backup plan. When she used the Shadow Fist, she did not get close, but instead used the shadow of the Blood Bone Fist to probe and attack, while her real body was still several feet away.
What the ghost hand grasped was merely the shadow of the Blood Bone Fist.
Sensing something was wrong, Luo Qing immediately focused her mind, severed the connection with the fist shadow, and quickly retreated to avoid the Soul Devouring Ghost's follow-up attacks.
In this exchange, Luo Qing only lost a little bit of his essence and killing energy, but he forced out Liu Yueru's hidden killing move, which can be said to be a great advantage!
Luo Qing's calm escape greatly surprised Liu Yueru, whose eyes were filled with disbelief.
The fact that she possessed the Soul-Eating Demon was a closely guarded secret; no one except her father knew about it. Yet, Luo Qing was able to prepare in advance and avoid the Soul-Eating Demon's fatal attack.
Little did Liu Yueru know that Luo Qing was merely being habitually cautious and had not anticipated the existence of the Soul-Eating Ghost.
This Soul-Eating Ghost is no ordinary evil spirit; it is a ferocious creature at the Core Formation level, obtained by Liu Yueru's father from the extremely dangerous Void Heaven Palace.
Liu Yueru's cultivation level was still shallow, and she was not able to control the Soul Devouring Ghost at will. She could only seal it in the Soul Box.
The Soul Box is equipped with a special restriction. Once Liu Yueru faces a life-or-death crisis, the restriction will automatically activate, releasing the Soul-Eating Ghost to protect her.
Of course, Liu Yueru can also activate it on her own.
Regardless of the method, once activated, the Soul Eater must be fed enough blood within a short period of time in order to reseal it.
Otherwise, the Soul-Eating Ghost will lose control and continue to devour its master, absorbing the master's essence and spirit.
Clearly, after her initial defeat, Liu Yueru was immediately put on the defensive and had to end the duel as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, the fierce light in Liu Yueru's eyes intensified, and her aura became increasingly violent.
On the other side, Luo Qing saw the Soul Devouring Ghost and thought to himself, "Just as I thought."
Given Liu Yueru's status and position, she must have some hidden trump cards to protect her life.
Before figuring out the specific abilities of the Soul Devouring Ghost, Luo Qing immediately changed tactics, switching to an offensive stance and focusing all his efforts on using the Star-Fighting Step to dodge. If all else failed, he would use the Blood Bone Fist to fight from a distance, determined not to confront Liu Yueru and the Soul Devouring Ghost head-on.
After several rounds, Luo Qing dodged with ease, while Liu Yueru grew increasingly impatient.
The presence of the Soul-Eating Ghost continuously consumed her essence and blood, causing her face to gradually turn pale, the crimson-gold spiritual flames above her head to weaken, and her aura to become disordered.
