Chapter 23 Flying Sword Destroys the Ghost Sect

"this….."

Under the oppressive aura of Gu Lingchen, who was enveloped in sword energy, the six members of the Ghost Sect could barely even raise their heads.

"Wood Protector, just what is his strength?"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Without giving them a chance to continue speaking, Gu Lingchen simply waved his hand, and sword energy poured out like a flood from all around.

"Boom!"

Faced with this power, the six members of the Ghost Sect, including Protector Mu, felt like ants. They were instantly pierced through by countless sword energies and died on the spot.

Before the Wood Protector's brain cells were completely dead, Gu Lingchen stepped forward and used Soul Search, only to discover that the Ghost Sect currently did not have a true sect in the traditional sense.

They are currently gathered near a cave in the Nanshan Mountains and can escape at any time.

Capturing young women is also for the purpose of the Ghost King's cultivation.

With his divine sense covering the entire Nanshan mountain range, Gu Lingchen quickly located the exact position of the Ghost King.

"Captain Chu."

"I'll borrow your sword."

"What?" Before Chu Yue could react...

The silver longsword flew from his hand, circled once in the air, and then came to rest horizontally in front of Gu Lingchen.

Looking at the longsword, Gu Lingchen made a sweeping motion with his right hand, instantly enveloping the silver sword in a layer of golden light.

"go."

"Whoosh." The longsword was imbued with great power at this moment, and it instantly soared into the sky, flying towards the Ghost Sect's lair in the Southern Mountain Range.

Deep within the Nanshan Mountains, hundreds of members of the Ghost Sect were gathered for a bizarre sacrificial ceremony. On the platform, more than a dozen pale-faced young women remained bound.

The Ghost King, meanwhile, was cultivating by immersing his entire body in blood in a cave not far away.

Suddenly, the Ghost Sect expert's expression changed.

An invisible pressure swept over us.

Looking up, they saw a golden streak of light hurtling towards them with overwhelming force.

"not good."

"Quickly, prepare for battle!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

The golden longsword gave them no chance to react, and with each swift movement through the air, several Ghost Sect experts were killed.

Golden light, like a giant net, surrounded and strangled all the members of the Ghost Sect, causing endless screams and desperate cries.

In just a few breaths, the previously high and mighty protectors and powerful members of the Ghost Sect were killed one by one, which can be described as a dimensional reduction attack.

Many people die without ever understanding what kind of terrifying power this is.

Soon, all one hundred-plus members of the Ghost Sect were killed, their throats sealed by a single sword strike.

"Who dares to kill a member of my Ghost Sect?"

"Come out if you dare."

A black demonic aura blotted out the sky, and the Ghost King's figure flew out of the cave, hiding within the aura.

A terrified voice rang out from within the demonic energy after the flying swords appeared in the air: "Cultivator?"

The next second, the Ghost King turned and fled.

"Whoosh~"

The sword light pierced through his chest, revealing the Ghost King's true face—a young man who looked to be under thirty.

That sword strike just now severed the Ghost King's life force and destroyed his newly formed golden core.

"Damn it, my golden core!"

"You actually destroyed my golden core."

"Ah~, I have cultivated diligently for three hundred years, absorbing the essence and blood of countless young girls, before finally forming my golden core using the Blood Demon Technique."

"I refuse to accept this! I refuse to accept this!"

"Who are you, ah...?"

"Our Ghost Sect Ancestor will not let you go. When our Ancestor awakens, he will slaughter thousands of miles, leaving not a blade of grass alive."

"My ancestor will surely avenge me and make you wish you were dead, hahahaha..."

After saying this, the Ghost King's body turned to ashes in a painful struggle.

A demonic cultivator at the Golden Core stage died as a result.

Dozens of kilometers away, Gu Lingchen opened his eyes, and with a thought, his longsword flew back from the Ghost Sect and plunged into the ground a meter in front of Chu Yue.

Her heart raced, and Chu Yue cautiously stepped forward to pick up her sword. But just as her hand was about to touch the hilt, a powerful force sent numbness through her arm.

He stumbled back several steps before regaining his balance.

"The sword still retains its power; wait half an hour before drawing it."

"The Ghost Sect has been destroyed."

"The location is very active, and there are still survivors. It shouldn't be difficult for you to find them."

"Take Zhang Tianshi's body back and put it in a coffin. Don't move it."

"I must take my leave now..."

After saying that, Gu Lingchen disappeared on the spot before Chu Yue and the others could react.

"What?"

"Captain Chu, he said... the Ghost Sect has been wiped out?"

"Is Zhang Tianshi dead?"

"The sword that senior just lent you flew out and returned in less than a minute."

"A flying sword from afar destroyed the Ghost Sect?"

"I'm starting to doubt it."

"The Ghost Sect is an evil cult that our Dragon Shadow Guard has been investigating for a long time. They have many powerful members."

"That mysterious Ghost King is an even more terrifying being."

"He killed them with a single flying sword strike?"

"This is a technique only immortals possess, isn't it?"

"Shut up," Chu Yue responded in shock.

"His strength far exceeds our understanding."

"I thought this senior might be a Celestial Realm expert, but now it seems that his strength has probably already reached the peak of martial arts."

"Quickly, heal the wounds."

"Once the leader and the others arrive, we will immediately head to the Ghost Sect's lair."

"Also, send someone to properly settle Zhang Tianshi's body and await the senior's instructions."

"Zhang Tianshi sacrificed himself for the sake of the Ghost Sect."

"He deserves our utmost respect."

"I will apply to the leader to grant Zhang Tianshi the title of Dragon Shadow Warrior."

"Yes, Captain Chu."

In Jiangzhou city, only about twenty minutes have passed since Gu Lingchen left.

Lu Qianqian was still asking Su Qianxue about what happened last night.

Suddenly, a streak of light flashed across the sky, and Gu Lingchen's figure appeared behind the two of them without anyone noticing, in the back seat of the police car.

"Ah~"

Startled by Gu Lingchen, Lu Qianqian instinctively drew her pistol and pointed it at him.

"You...you you you."

"How did you get in?"

"Didn't you go to Nanxian?"

"You haven't left yet?"

"I told you we should prepare a helicopter for you. It won't even take half an hour to get to Nanxian."

"I'll call someone to send a helicopter over right now."

Upon hearing this, Gu Lingchen said coldly, "Stop fighting, it's over."

"Also, don't point that thing at me; it's not safe for you."

"Wh...what?"

"This is a pistol, the bane of evil, the truth in my hand."

"Am I unsafe, or are you scared?"

"it's over?"

"Heh, are you kidding me?"

"It's only been twenty minutes, and you're telling me you've already gone to Nanxian and come back?"

"Is there something wrong with my ears, or is there something wrong with your brain?"

"Gu Lingchen, don't joke with me."

"Captain Chu and the others are in real danger right now. I'm begging you, please take a helicopter and go there to rescue them."

"Captain Lu, I believe in Gu Lingchen."

"He wouldn't lie."

Su Qianxue was extremely excited when she saw Gu Lingchen; she now had unconditional trust in him.
