Chapter 1393: Willow of the Sky
Sure enough, after everyone stopped talking, the giant ghost king said: "According to the rules of my Ten Kings Hall, if no one wins by a large margin in the voting phase, then a strength competition will be held. Fu Liu Ghost King, Happy Ghost King, are you two willing to compete on the spot?"
"Of course I am willing." Fu Liu Ghost King said. He was confident enough in his own strength, so he was naturally not afraid of competing on the spot. The second level was not difficult for him at all.
Happy Ghost King had no other choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Yes."
Both sides had no objection. The giant ghost king looked at the long-browed ghost king, who said: "The square in front of my hall is spacious and has been specially blessed with formations. It can be used as a place for the two ghost kings to compete. How about having the competition here?"
The ghost kings present naturally had no objection to this. Then the long-browed ghost king gave an order, and the servants of the ghost king's mansion came out to clean up the square and clear the place for the two ghost kings to compete.
Everything was ready. Fu Liu Ghost King and Huan Xi Ghost King made some preparations and entered the arena one after another. It was useless to say anything else at this time. The two of them started fighting without any nonsense.
Ghost cultivators are negative energy bodies that have been cultivated after birth, so low-level ghost cultivators fight completely on instinct, mainly with mental attacks, and physical attacks are less powerful. However, as their strength increases, ghost cultivators will have more and more combat skills and stronger combat capabilities. Their own advantages must be carried forward and their shortcomings will be compensated. However, due to habit, most ghost cultivators are not very good at using magic weapons, unless there is a need for this and they happen to encounter a more suitable one.
And Fu Liu Ghost King is like this. He has a magic weapon called Fu Tian Liu, which is a rare Yin attribute spiritual wood. This thing is extremely compatible with ghost cultivators. It is not only of great help to ghost cultivators in cultivation, but also doubles the power of ghost cultivators. Fu Liu Ghost King was also lucky enough to find such a tree, so he found a way to refine it into his life magic weapon. This magic weapon has been with him for hundreds of years, and he has defeated countless powerful enemies. This is where the name of Fu Liu Ghost King came from.
Fu Liu Ghost King knew that this battle was of great importance, so he used his life magic weapon, Fu Tian Liu, as soon as he made a move. As soon as he moved his mind, a huge willow tree appeared behind him. The willow tree was dozens of feet tall, with a thick trunk of more than three feet. The roots were deeply rooted in the ground, and thousands of willow branches were flying in the wind. Some of them guarded Fu Liu Ghost King, and the other part attacked Huanxi Ghost King with fangs and claws. Unexpectedly, Fu Tian Liu was actually a magic weapon with both offensive and defensive capabilities.
When Qingyang met Master Guiyun in Yinfeng Jihuo Cave, he had used a kind of wood soul technique, which was somewhat similar to the magic weapon of Fuliu Ghost King. However, when the two were compared, there was a world of difference. That wood soul technique was transformed from the mourning stick, and it was completely driven by Master Guiyun's dark essence. Not only was it very time-consuming to use, but the number of willow branches that were transformed was only a few dozen. It was OK for cultivators below the Jindan level, but it had almost no killing effect on Yuanying cultivators.
And Fuliu Ghost King's Futian Willow was dozens of feet high, with thousands of willow branches. Whether it was attacking or defending, it was incredibly powerful. That was to say, the opposite Happy Ghost King also had the cultivation level of the eighth level of Yuanying. If it was someone with a lower cultivation level, he would have surrendered long ago.
As soon as Fuliu Ghost King made a move, he used his best trick. Happy Ghost King was naturally unwilling to be outdone. Seeing thousands of willow branches rolling towards him, Happy Ghost King casually threw a treasure up into the air, suddenly releasing countless golden lights. When thousands of willow branches met this golden light, it was like snow meeting the scorching sun, instantly breaking into countless fragments and disappearing in the golden light.
At this time, everyone saw clearly that the treasure that released the golden light was actually a Buddha statue, but unlike a normal Buddha statue, this Buddha statue was composed of a man and a woman, dressed the same as other Buddha statues, and their expressions were also very solemn, but the movements they made were a little difficult to describe, and they looked weird no matter how you looked at them. It is estimated that it has something to do with the practice of Happy Ghost King.
Buddhist monks have a great restraining effect on ghost cultivators, and Buddha statues are even more taboo for ghost cultivators. However, Happy Ghost King, a ghost cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, has this kind of Buddhist treasure on him, and he uses it quite skillfully, which shows that his strength is very extraordinary.
Seeing that his attack was ineffective, Fuliu Ghost King paused with his left foot, and the Futian Willow behind him began to shake. Thousands of willow branches shook at the same time, making tiny noises, and there were faint sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling, as if many ghosts were hidden in it.
Not long after, the thousands of willow branches rolled together, like a huge green arm, with great power, directly pulling towards the Buddha statue in the air. Happy Ghost King did not dare to neglect it, and quickly circulated his whole body of dark energy to urge the Buddha statue in the air to resist.
The two people in the Buddha statue also seemed to be alive, with solemn expressions on their faces. The Buddha statue made a soft humming sound, and at the same time, countless golden lights burst out to wrap itself.
Then there was a loud bang, and the green giant arm formed by the willow branches collided with the Buddha statue. The surrounding area was immediately shaken, and layers of air waves were raised in the square. Even the stands where the other eight ghost kings sat were shaking. If it weren't for their strong strength, I'm afraid the entire stand would have been overturned. The battle between late-stage Yuanying cultivators was indeed not to be underestimated.
After the aftermath of the battle, the green giant arm formed by the Futian Willow instantly disintegrated, but the Buddha statue of the Happy Ghost King also turned over in the air, which seemed to be a draw.
Fu Liu Ghost King looked at Happy Ghost King opposite him and was deeply surprised by what happened just now. Among the ten ghost kings in the Ten Kings Hall, his strength ranked third, while Happy Ghost King could only rank fourth. Moreover, Fu Liu Ghost King had good qualifications and great potential for cultivation, and his cultivation level improved very quickly. Fu Liu Ghost King thought he could easily win, but he did not expect that Happy Ghost King's first fight would result in an evenly matched result. It seems that it is not so easy to win.
Happy Ghost King stared at Fu Liu Ghost King, and secretly had a trace of worry in his heart. Although he ranked behind Fu Liu Ghost King in the Ten Kings Hall, Happy Ghost King was not very convinced, because this ranking was based on some potential. However, after the move just now, he had already tested the strength of Fu Liu Ghost King, which was indeed slightly higher than his. It seems that the ranking of the Ten Kings Hall is still relatively accurate. In this way, it would be more difficult for Happy Ghost King to win the position of the Lord of the First Hall. Fortunately, the gap between the two sides was not obvious, and there was still a chance if he could win by surprise.
