Chapter 1817: Goosebumps

The others watched the scene before them in shock. They saw a scorched black figure standing behind Sun En. While all of his attention was on Zu An, the figure had launched a fatal attack.

Shockingly, the black figure belonged to Zang Ao, who had been blasted to death by lightning earlier. How was that possible?

It wasn’t just Zu An’s group; even Sun En was confused. He exclaimed, “How can this be? I already checked your corpse. You clearly already died! No false-death skills can fool my eyes!”

Zu An nodded. It was precisely because Sun En had checked the body that the others believed Zang Ao was already dead. After all, with Sun En’s cultivation, he wouldn’t have made any mistake in judging whether Zang Ao was dead or alive. Not even Wei Suo’s Turtle Breath Technique could evade such a focused inspection.

Zang Ao smirked. His teeth looked even whiter against his scorched face as he replied, “Everyone has secrets, no?” He clearly had no intention of explaining the real reason.

Sun En had an expression of regret. He slowly moved his fingers, as if he were casting some spell.

Zang Ao didn’t really mind despite noticing that. He said, “Sun En, oh Sun En. You dominated an entire generation, and yet you fell in the past because of me, and now, you’re once more defeated because of me. You’re destined to never win against me.”

As soon as he said that, he clenched his palm. With a spurt, the throbbing heart was crushed.

Sun En vomited a mouthful of blood. He struggled a bit, but in the end, his head drooped and he completely lost his life.

The others were all stupefied. They had never expected that a powerful hero would die so tragically.

Yun Jianyue and Xie Daoyun couldn’t help but feel a bit sentimental. Even though they were his hostages, he hadn’t troubled them too much. Rather, their conversations had gone quite smoothly. If they hadn’t been on opposite sides, perhaps they would even have been able to become friends after some time passed.

Zang Ao tossed the crushed heart into his mouth and chewed loudly. He sighed in satisfaction, saying, “The hearts of the strong are a delicacy, as always.”

The others’ expressions changed. Zu An stared at him vigilantly. At the same time, he couldn’t help but give Jing Teng a look. There was no one who was more familiar with Zang Ao than her. Just what was going on here?

Jing Teng was also confused. She looked at Zang Ao in disgust and exclaimed, “Just what kind of thing are you?”

Zang Ao laughed and said, “I am Zang Ao, of course. Tengteng, have you forgotten about me so quickly?”

Perhaps because he had just eaten Sun En’s heart and consumed its blood essence, the charred black skin covering his body gradually peeled off as he spoke. New flesh grew at a visible rate. Soon after, all of the burnt flesh on his body completely disappeared, restoring his previous appearance. No, he even seemed to look a bit younger.

He looked at Zu An and said, “I should actually be thanking you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have had a chance to kill him that easily.”

Sun En had been powerful. If they fought in a frontal clash, it would have been hard to say who would come out on top.

Zang Ao could vaguely sense danger behind the attacks. He quickly thrust his finger toward those two flowers in an attempt to scatter them before they fully formed.

Suddenly, a lantern appeared. The yellow light that engulfed him noticeably reduced his speed. Additionally, he suddenly sensed that there was something off beneath his feet. A rune formation appeared below him, and he suddenly felt as if he were trapped in a pool of quicksand.

Just then, the two flowers finally blossomed. Not even Zang Ao with his cultivation dared to take their attacks directly. Two blasts of mist surged from his palm, wrapping around the flowers and flinging them into the distance. They just happened to land on the ghost generals’ corpses, instantly destroying the bodies without a trace. Only then did the flower petals gradually wilt and disappear.

Zang Ao secretly sighed in relief. These two women weren’t able to bring out the true power of their attacks yet, or else things would have really been tricky.

He prepared to continue attacking, but Xie Daoyun used another formation. Blue runes flashed beneath the others, and then they reappeared a hundred meters away, creating a bit of distance from Zang Ao.

Zang Ao couldn’t help but ask with a sneer, “Mister Zu, do you only know how to hide behind women?”

With that breather, Zu An had also gradually recovered. When he heard that, he said with a smile, “The joy of having comrades in battle is something a loner like you will never understand.”

Zang Ao was a bit speechless. Friends? How are you all just friends?!

None of these women’s cultivations could be looked down upon. If they really fought, it really would be a bit difficult to fight while trying not to kill them.

“I don’t have time to waste on you anymore. You have one last chance. Hand over the inner manual, or else you’ll quickly wish you were dead instead,” Zang Ao said, looking at the group with a darkened expression.

They were a bit confused. This Zang Ao was clearly a bit weaker than Sun En. If they worked together, they should have had a good chance of beating him. Where did he get the confidence to make such a threat? However, their divine senses continuously warned them about danger. It was clear that he wasn’t just boasting, but where did the danger come from, then?

Suddenly, a beautiful white figure quickly rushed over from afar. She called out as she rushed over, “Ah Zu, be careful! Zang Ao is the Ghost King!”

The others had goosebumps when they heard this information.

Zang Ao is the Ghost King? How is this possible?!

Yun Jianyue had good eyes and instantly recognized that the woman was Yan Xuehen. She found something quite strange.

Hm? Why did she call him Ah Zu?

Chu Chuyan was also confused. Wasn’t her master addressing Ah Zu a bit too intimately? However, she quickly assumed it was an elder addressing a junior, so it was understandable.

Yan Xuehen hadn’t expected there to be so many women here. She had thought that it would just be Qiu Honglei and Jing Teng. Between that and her nervousness, she had blurted out the nickname without thinking. She immediately became embarrassed. She froze in midair, and her face became completely red. She really wanted to crawl into a hole and disappear right now.

Fortunately, the women’s attention had been drawn to Zang Ao. They didn’t have time to look at her at all.

“I initially planned to interact properly with you using my human identity, but who would have thought that you wouldn’t appreciate it at all? In that case, this king won’t keep up the act anymore either,” Zang Ao said, and his voice became harsh and ear-piercing. Waves of thick black mist surged around him.
