Chapter 2528
byBoss Ban smiled bitterly when he heard this and said, “Safe？ Now is the beginning of the disaster！”
Yang Kai’s face changed and he said in a deep voice, “Could it be that falling thunder…”
Boss Ban shook his head and said, “There is no need to worry about the falling thunder anymore. The thunderstorm has passed and there will no longer be such dense falling thunder within a month. Now there is only one thing we need to guard against… the astral wind！”
Previously in the Desolate City, Pi San had once reminded Yang Kai that there were three perils in this passageway leading to the Ancient Land: strange fog, falling thunder, and astral wind.
The strange fog goes without saying.It fills this passageway all year round and those who are not familiar with the path can easily get lost in it. The terrifying power of the falling thunder that Yang Kai had witnessed was also astonishing. With his spiritual sense stronger than that of a Second-Order Emperor Senior, it was still instantly severed by the falling thunder, showing its brutal lethality.
Since the astral wind can be listed alongside the strange fog and falling thunder, it is obviously not something to be despised.
Moreover, at this moment, Elder Ban’s complexion was extremely solemn, which made Yang Kai feels even more bad.
“How powerful is that astral wind？” Yang Kai asked in a deep voice.
Elder Ban said, “If we only compare lethality, the falling thunder is naturally superior. But among those who are familiar with the passageway here, I’m afraid no matter who it is, they would rather encounter the falling thunder than the astral wind.”
“Why is that？” Zhang Ruoxi looked blank.
Elder Ban couldn’t help but wryly smile: “Because the astral wind is continuous. Although its lethality is not as good as that of the falling thunder, it has the advantage of being lasting. Wherever the astral wind passes, it is like the sharpest secret treasure cutting. It can not only scrape off the flesh and blood of warriors, but also shake the soul. If one stays in the astral wind for a long time, I’m afraid they will die a very miserable death.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ruoxi couldn’t help but shiver.
Judging from what Old Ban said, being attacked by the astral wind is like being cut by a blunt knife. The scariest thing is that this astral wind can even shake the soul.
Old Ban said solemnly, “After the thunder tide, there will surely be a wind howl, and it is a huge wind howl that sweeps the entire passage. If we can’t find a suitable place to hide within the time of burning an incense stick, we will surely die.”
“Wind howl！” Yang Kai’s face sank. Although he heard this word for the first time, he could also imagine what kind of scene it was. He quickly said, “Is there a place to avoid the wind nearby？”
Old Ban turned his head and looked around, and said in a deep voice, “Previously, in order to avoid the falling thunder, this old man was a bit hasty and didn’t choose his way. I also find this place extremely strange. But if I’m not wrong, this should be the central area of the passage.”
“Central area…” Zhang Ruoxi frowned and suddenly her face changed slightly and said, “Didn’t say, Old Ban, that there is… in the central area of this passage?”
Before she could finish her words, in that extremely distant position, two groups of glowing suddenly emerged. The thick strange fog covers in this passage could not block the mapping of these two rays of light, making the three people see clearly.
An extremely icy feeling suddenly spread out. The cold artistic conception directly overshadowed Old Ban and Zhang Ruoxi making their hands and feet cold and their whole bodies chilly.
“Ah…” Zhang Ruoxi couldn’t help but exclaim.
Because she discovered that the two balls of crimson light were actually two extremely terrifying eyes. Those eyes were filled with unimaginable murderous intent, as if they were made of poured blood. Just one look at them made one’s mind tremble and horror surge.
“Ghost King!” Yang Kai shouted in a low voice. His gaze did not avoid, directly meeting the two balls of crimson light. The vast sea-like soul power burst out, turning into a pure soul attack and going up to meet it.
After a silent collision, Yang Kai’s figure swayed and his face turned slightly pale.
The crimson light that was an unknown distance away suddenly shone brightly, and its power not only did not decrease but increased instead. It came pressing forward all the way, as if it wanted to pursue the victory and crush Yang Kai into powder.
In an instant, in Yang Kai’s mind, chaos reigned. He only felt as if he had fallen into the Nine Nether Purgatory. All around him were little devils with teeth and claws, making strange cries, pouncing and biting, trying to catch him and eat his flesh and drink his blood.
Those little devils had abominable and hideous faces, extremely terrifying.
“The Eye of Annihilation!” Yang Kai no longer dared to hold back. In an instant, his right eye turned golden, and a majestic vertical pupil appeared. From that golden pupil, a strange power spread out, Youdaoplaceholder0 dispels the illusions in his mind and stabilizing his state of mind.
Not only that, but a strange attractive force also came from that right eye, as if it had turned into a bottomless abyss, trying to suck in the gaze of the Ghost King and make it forever unable to break free.
In the Sea of Consciousness, the Warm God Lotus emitted a brilliant multicolored light, and waves of coolness filled Yang Kai’s Sea of Consciousness tightly.
“Hmph!” ” From the depths of that strange fog, a cold snort came out. The Ghost King seemed to be somewhat enraged by Yang Kai’s counterattack. In an instant, a sudden gust of Yin wind blew, the coldness increased sharply, and the earth instantly turned into frozen soil.
Youdaoplaceholder0 the wailing and wailing, translucent ghost claws actually extended from the ground and grabbed towards the ankles of the three people.
This change happened extremely quickly. Old Ban and Zhang Ruoxi didn’t have enough strength. After the Ghost King snorted, the two of them fell into a confused state, as if they had lost consciousness. They just stared forward with wide eyes and didn’t have any other reactions.
Yang Kai raised his hand and lifted the two of them from the spot. He shouted loudly： “Ghost King, we are just avoiding the Thunder Tide and passed by here accidentally. We have no intention of disturbing. Please be convenient.”
“Jie jie…” A piercing laughter resounded, echoing in all directions, making it impossible to tell from which direction the sound was coming. At the same time, the two groups of crimson light in the depths of the strange fog also vanished.
The Ghost King directly disappeared from sight.
The gloomy wind became stronger, and the strange fog even began to flow. The ghosts that had disappeared due to the thunderstorm also reappeared at some point, hiding in the strange fog, cruising around Yang Kai and the other two, waiting for an opportunity. The ghost claws that extended from the ground gradually solidified and continuously grabbed at Yang Kai, but were all blocked by his protective Emperor Yuan, making a hissing sound.
Yang Kai’s gaze shuttled around, staring at a certain direction in the strange fog, and snorted coldly： “Ghost King, it’s good for you to be free and unfettered, but don’t make a mistake！”
As soon as these words came out, the Ghost King seemed to be completely enraged. A huge ghost claw suddenly protruded from the depths of the strange fog, like a mountain descending, and suddenly slapped towards the place where Yang Kai was. The claw tip was extremely sharp, as if it could tear the space apart.
“Give you some color and you dare to open a dyeing workshop！”
Yang Kai’s spiritual sense surged, and a streamer suddenly shot out from his mind. Instead of going to meet the ghost claw, it blasted towards another direction. The streamer turned into a long knife in mid-air, with an imposing manner like a rainbow, breaking through the sky.
Soul-Slaying Saber, a heaven-breaking strike！
The attack vanished in a flash, and a shrill and miserable cry suddenly came from the depths of the strange fog.
At the same time, the huge ghost claw that almost slapped above Yang Kai’s head also disappeared all of a sudden, and countless ghost hands that surged out from below the ground also vanished into thin air.
The ghosts gathered around were stunned for a moment, and then they all screeched and scattered like birds and beasts.
Just in the blink of an eye, everything around returned to normal, as if no battle had taken place here at all.
Yang Kai knew very well that if he hadn’t shown his remarkable strength at the last moment this Ghost King might not have retreated so easily.
Moreover, the attack of the Soul Severing Blade, which was blessed by his secret technique, the Heaven-Breaking Strike, actually didn’t cause much damage to the Ghost King, which made him feel a little incredible.
This Ghost King hidden in the depths of the strange fog was indeed not so easy to deal with.
If it weren’t for Yang Kai’s scruples about it, he wouldn’t have babbled so much with it. It’s just that in this strange environment, Yang Kai really didn’t want to have any conflict with it.
As soon as the Ghost King left, Zhang Ruoxi and Old Ban woke up at the same time. Obviously, both of them remembered what had just happened, and their hearts couldn’t help but still be a little palpitating, and their complexions were pale.
“There isn’t much time left, let’s go quickly！” Old Ban didn’t ask why the Ghost King had retreated. He just said a word and then quickly led the way in front.
The wind howl is about to come. If we can’t find a place to take shelter before the wind howl arrives, no matter how the three of us struggle, we will inevitably have a dead end.
Elder Ban observes the surrounding landforms from time to time and changes the direction occasionally.
At the beginning, he seems a little hesitant and is not sure whether the direction he is advancing is correct. But after a while, his speed suddenly increases a lot, and he no longer needs to think much about it.
Seeing this situation, Yang Kai knows that he has found the right way.
After all, he is extremely familiar with this place. Even if he gets lost occasionally, he can always return to the right track.
Seeing that the time of one incense stick is about to pass, and a gentle breeze has also begun to blow in this passage. The gentle breeze is not strong, but when it blows on the body, it actually makes the skin hurt, as if it has been cut by a knife.
Just a gentle breeze is like this. If the wind howl really comes, what kind of situation will it be？
Whether it is Yang Kai or Zhang Ruoxi, they all know that what Elder Ban said is right. The wind howl is definitely a more terrifying disaster than the falling thunder. Although the falling thunder has no rules, there are always safe places to avoid during the thunder tide. But when the wind howl comes, the entire passage is dangerous, and there is no safe place.
The wind sound gradually whistles, and the wind force is slowly increasing. Yang Kai has thick skin and high cultivation, so it doesn’t matter. But Zhang Ruoxi and Elder Ban have to urge their body-protecting source power to resist the power of the strong wind.
Over there！” Old Ban suddenly exclaimed in delight as if he had discovered something, pointing in a certain direction. His speed also increased significantly, and he said as he ran, “I hope there’s still room over there！
Yang Kai hadn’t yet understood what the ‘room’ he was referring to meant when he saw Old Ban suddenly flash and directly rush into a certain place.
He quickly followed with Zhang Ruoxi, and only then did he discover that the place where Old Ban had brought them to take shelter from the wind was actually a cave.
Strangely enough, once inside this cave, everything returned to normal. The field of vision became clear, and there was even no strange fog here. Only the faint whistling sound came from the cave entrance behind.
Looking around, this cave was approximately five or six zhang in diameter and could probably accommodate about a dozen people.
And before the arrival of Yang Kai and the other two, there were already five or six martial artists taking refuge here. These people clearly knew about the wind howl, so they had long found this safe haven and hidden inside, waiting for the wind howl to pass.
