The strange fogs gradually faded, revealing a huge bull-like figure, nearly two meters high.
Zhang Yan had never seen such a strange creature, and did not know what race it belonged to.
However, Meng Yao blurted out in great shock, "The Chi Ghost!"
"Chi Ghost?" He asked with doubts, "What is it?"
"I have browsed the introduction of it in the ancient books of my family. It is said that there are three distinguished powerful ghosts responsible for guarding the ghost. They are the Chi Ghost, the Mei Ghost and the Wang Liang Ghost." She recalled, "And the monster in front of us is the so-called Chi Ghost, with a human face, an animal body and three eyes! We are going to die here certainly!"
"The Chi Mei Wang Liang are three kinds of ghosts? I always thought they were four!" He felt a little bit strange.
She replied anxiously, "We are in big danger now, and you still have the mood to think about that? The small ghosts are hard enough to cope with, not to mention the stronger Chi Ghost!"
"Take easy! Let me deal with it."
He was so confident because he had gained more information on the Chi Ghost from the Purifying Lotus already, including the characteristics and weaknesses of the Chi Ghost.
The lotus introduced, "The beautiful girl is right, but biased. It is indeed the Chi Ghost, but not a guard of the ghost gate, just a kind of creature in the Huangquan Road. As for what race it belongs to, I am not very clear either. However, it is really pretty powerful at soul attacks. Its eye in the center of brows is able to release fierce soul energy to confuse the enemy's mind."
"Why is it here?" He asked in confusion.
The lotus explained, "The starflies are its favorite food. But to catch them is hard for it due to its slow movements. You have killed so many starflies in the forest, so it's reasonable that this Chi Ghost appears."
"But you don't have to worry, for the Chi Ghost is the weakest one among the Chi Mei Wangliang. And this one in front of you only possesses the cultivation in the sixth level of Martial Arts State, so you can certainly defeat it!" The lotus added.
After the words of the lotus, Zhang Yan looked at the Chi Ghost coldly, "We know who you are, and you are not qualified to be my opponent, so I don't want to waste time and energy with you! Don't block our way and go to eat your starflies!"
"Boy, how dare you have the nerve to be so arrogant! I'll let you know my strength today!" Irritated, the Chi Ghost shouted back loudly.
Then it rushed toward Zhang Yan, bouncing over him like a ten-kilogram rock.
He immediately placed the stone sword across his chest to resist the attack from the Chi Ghost. Intending to finish the battle as early as possible, he transported a lot of spiritual energy on his arms, and pushed the ghost ten feet away.
The ghost was shocked by his strength, "It seems that I have looked down on you! But I used no more than half of my strength just now. You go to the hell under my next blow!"
It bounced over to him again, with all of its strength.
Meanwhile, he displayed the Qingyun Step to the extreme, as well as the Tricks for Qingyun Sword. All of a sudden, numerous beams of bloody-red sword gas emerged in the sky, then rushed to the Chi Ghost.
The ghost got stunned, and smelled the death threat from the sword gas. In the next second, it emitted a layer of fogs around, forming a spiritual shield. The sword gas collided into the shield, resulting in a burst of clangs and sparks.
The surrounding trees were broken, and the ghost filled with killing intentions.
