KEYBOARD IMMORTAL

Chapter 1819: Questioning Life

“Alright, I’ve already expressed enough sincerity by answering your questions. Shouldn’t you tell me where the inner manual is now?” the Ghost King continued, his face rippling. He added in a low muffled voice, “You should already know that if I attack, I can suck out all of your souls. Things won’t be pretty then.”

It wasn’t that he didn’t dare to kill them, but that he didn’t know what kind of relationship Jing Teng had with these women. On the surface, it looked like a love rivalry, so she should have been hoping that they would all die, but she had just helped Qiu Honglei obtain a great treasure from the immortal ruler. The other women seemed to be showing her good intentions too.

Besides, if something happened to the others, Zu An would definitely fight him to the death, never mind telling him where the inner manual was. That was an outcome he definitely didn’t want. If there was a chance to negotiate, why would there be any need for violence?

Jing Teng had a grave expression. She wanted to say something, but yet didn’t know what to say.

The Ghost King started to get a bit impatient. He said with a sneer, “Hm, I think I understand. The reason you aren’t giving it to me is because you want to use me to get rid of these love rivals, right?”

Jing Teng’s expression changed. Those words could very well be the end of her! Even if that wasn’t her intention, now that he had said that, the other women could begin to suspect her.

Qiu Honglei spoke up just then. “You can stop trying to drive a wedge between us. Little sister Jing and I have traveled together all this time, and I know that even though she acts cold on the outside, she’s actually warm inside. She definitely wouldn’t do something so despicable.”

She had no idea how old that vine was, but she still had to clearly state their status as sisters.

Hmph, Chu Chuyan and Pei Mianman are too close. I’m too weak by myself and need someone on my side to help me. Adding Jing Teng alone doesn’t seem to be enough, though. She hasn’t known Ah Zu for that long. Should I grab that lass Xie Daoyun too?

However, she’s from a distinguished clan, and might look down on a Devil Sect witch like me. She’d definitely feel closer to Chu Chuyan’s side.

A hint of a worried and sad look appeared on her face when she thought of that.

Yan Xuehen couldn’t help but give Yun Jianyue a look.

Why is your disciple speaking up for another woman?

Yun Jianyue thought to herself, What does a stone cold woman like you understand?

No matter how fiercely our Devil Sect’s women fight against other women, they’ll still appear kind in front of their man. That way, compared to those jealous women, they’ll be the ones the men care about the most!

Honglei is amazing, as expected of my precious disciple!

If they were going to fight in this harem, they had to screw those other women over, especially that stone cold woman’s disciple.

The women’s expressions changed. How terrifying was the Demonic Voice of the Ghost King? If someone left the protection, their soul could be immediately sucked away!

Only Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue remained rather calm. After all, they had seen Zu An fight against individuals on a similar level to the Ghost King in the past.

Sure enough, when the Ghost King saw Zu An charge out, he sneered. Then, countless skulls aimed their roars at Zu An. Terrifying waves of shrill noises filled the air.

Suddenly, a clear bird cry resounded from behind Zu An. At the same time, a massive bird flew up above his head. It was Hundredwarble, which excelled at dealing with soul attacks. However, the Ghost King’s Demonic Voice of the Ghost King was too strong. Right now, Zu An’s cultivation was still significantly inferior, so it couldn’t counterattack and could only barely defend Zu An’s soul.

Zu An had been worried that Hundredwarble alone wouldn’t be enough to protect him, so he had gripped the Tai’e Sword tightly, preparing to use it in a similar way as Zhao Han’s Human Emperor Seal to protect himself. Now that Hundredwarble had proven to be reliable, the Tai’e Sword could be used solely for offense. As soon as he willed it, the Tai’e Sword released its domain. He activated the power of this divine weapon with everything he had. A resplendent sword strike that resembled a stellar river immediately sliced the Ghost King’s black mist in half.

The Ghost King hadn’t expected Zu An to not be afraid of his Demonic Voice of the Ghost King at all. Furthemore, the moment the Tai’e Sword’s domain of power was unleashed, he was affected as well, causing him to blank out. Even though with his cultivation, he was able to recover a second later, Zu An’s sword strike had already arrived.

The Rune Weapon Chart created a copy, and with the Tai’e Sword’s power, even the Ghost King took a blow. However, Zu An didn’t feel happy about that at all, because he noticed that the two clumps of black mist quickly merged again, reforming into the ghost face.

The Ghost King’s ear-splitting voice resounded, saying, “I have to admit that your strength is quite exceptional, kid. However, you have no way of killing me at all. I have an indestructible body, hahaha!” As he laughed, all of the black mist expanded. Skulls surrounded by black mist flew everywhere, filling every inch of the tomb almost instantly.

Zu An’s expression darkened. He recalled the intelligence he had gotten from Hidden Dragon and Phoenix Chick. The Ghost King had immunity against physical and elemental attacks. Testing it out revealed that that did indeed seem to be the case. How was he supposed to fight, then?

Just then, several dozen skulls surrounded him. They all opened their mouths to tear at his flesh. However, sword radiance erupted from Zu An’s hand, smashing the skulls apart one after another.

Despite that, as soon as they were destroyed, even more skulls rushed over. At the same time, the black mist seemed to begin invading his body in a strange manner. Of course, against the purification of the Primordial Origin Sutra, it was quickly eliminated.

The Ghost King seemed just as shocked as Zu An, exclaiming, “Hm? Why are you able to stop my attacks?”

The attacks of those skulls seemed simple, but they held power that was at the peak of this world. How could ordinary cultivators possibly stop them? Even someone as strong as Wang Youjun probably couldn’t block many of them before he was ripped apart by the skulls’ terrifying power.

We aren’t even within the same magnitude of strength, so how can he endure my power?

This pretty boy looks all weak and helpless, but he was able to stop so many attacks without any major issues?

This youngster’s body is like a black hole that can absorb my attacks. How can my attacks be so easily absorbed, though?

He had wanted to seize the chance to send his power into Zu An’s body, but he hadn’t expected that power to just disappear after it invaded Zu An.

Just what kind of madness is this? There’s actually such a marvel as this kid in this world?
