Chapter 578 Consternation of Ban Qian

After the gale, it was silent.

Dead silence gradually reigned the entire grotto. Ban Qian was so scared. He felt that a pair of horrible eyes were gazing at him.

Su Li calmly gazed into the front and suddenly said,

“It’s coming.”

Ban Qian could only see utter darkness in an instant!

Without a second thought, he waved his hands and shouted, “Start!”

The green light curtain spread out from his palms and took shape into a wash basin. Then a strong wind came.

Boom!

A white paw hit on the green light curtain. The force was so strong that it left a crack on the light curtain. Ban Qian’s expression changed. Then he jumped backwards and floated in the air. Finally, he saw their enemy clearly.

“Howl!”

It was a ferocious and extremely high monster, which stood up by its two legs like a human being.

The monster was free now. It roared and revealed its horrifying giant mouth, which was full of canine teeth. Its roars made the grotto shake, and the stone chips were falling down.

“Such a strong monster. It could be equaled with a practitioner in nature’s test. Fellow Practitioner Su, we… ?!”

While speaking, Ban Qian found that Su Li stood still there.

Howl!

The monster wielded its big claw towards Su Li’s head with blood-red eyes.

“Watch out!”

The lightning streak between Ban Qian’s eyes warped. Then the green vines appeared and wrapped Su Li in an instant.

“This skillis not mature. If it undergoes strong impact, I will get reversed effect. My lightning streak may…”

Ban Qian thought quickly, but he set his teeth and didn’t withdraw the vines. When the claw was about to hit the vines, a calm voice came from the vines.

“Break.”

With a bang, the tall monster instantlybroke into pieces of flesh and blood, which scattered in the whole space.

Ban Qian was so shocked that he even forgot to maintain the skill of vines. Then the vines disappeared by itself.

Su Li leaped in front of Ban Qian. She waved her sleeves to block the flesh and blood with a smile, “Thank you.”

Ban Qian came to his senses and gave a forced smile, “Fellow Practitioner…Su, you are welcome. But I haven’t helped at all.”

He had assumed that Su Li said those words for her arrogance as a talent. It turned out that she was so powerful that she did not need any help.

“I underestimated your strength, Fellow Practitioner Su. I will leave now…”

When he was going to leave, Su Li appeared in front of him in an instant. She stared at him and asked, “Your skill of vines is not mature. It may undermine your cultivation. Why didn’t you withdraw it?”

“Fellow Practitioner Su, you really have keen eyes.”

Ban Qian was surprised and then shook his head, “It was me who proposed joining hands. It is shameful if I chicken out. I think that every practitioner with strong faith will do that like me.”

Su Li glanced at Ban Qian who showed a serious expression, and then looked at the retracting fresh on the ground. She lost in thought for a while and suddenly burst into laughter,

“There are few practitioners who are simple like you in holy sects.”

“Simple?”

Ban Qian was puzzled, “In our sect, we are instilled to do that. Why do you say so?”

“Fenglei Holy Sect?”

Su Li thought of something, “It seems that Gui Leizi is exceptional.”

“Gui Leizi?”

Ban Qian was shocked. As a holy boy, he naturally knew that Gui Leizi was the agent who was sent to Leiyuan Sect in Jiuzhou Region by his sect. How did Su Jiuzhou know that?

Gurgle—

The blood flowed together. Then the huge monster reappeared. Its eyes were full of hatred. It roared and rushed to Su Li.

Su Li looked coldly and said lightly, “Destroy!”

Boom!

Suddenly, the body of the monster exploded once again and turned into ground meat. But it was different from the flesh the last time. Each piece of flesh was covered with gray sword light which shone to grind the flesh into nothing.

Ban Qian was stunned to look at it, “That is…the Will of Sword?!”

The Will of Sword belonged to the Will Power, and it had no rivals at its same level. He had only seen the same power from Xuan Yu’er and Ling Li. But compared to the Will of Sword of Su Jiuzhou, that of those two was like an infant. There was a big gap between those two persons and Su Jiuzhou!

Why did such a prodigy come to be known now? She just appeared out of nowhere. What were the big secrets of her?

“Do you want to go to summit?”

Su Li looked back with amazing light flashed in her eyes.

“It is difficult to explain. Within three days, you will understand it by yourself. And you can tell me your choice by then. It’s not late for me.”

Ban Qian gasped. He refrained his thoughts and nodded.

Buzz—

At this time, the last piece of monster’s flesh disappeared, and the grotto was broken. Then a broader mountain road revealed.

With a buzz, a fist-size and ruby-like essence rose in the air slowly. Su Li reached out to get it with light flashing in her eyes.

“This is the flesh and blood essence of the monster.”

Ban Qian saw it and said in amazement, “This is a supreme treasure of body practitioners. If it is refined, it can enhance pneuma and blood of the practitioner, and even help him or her break through a small realm. The monster just now is likely in the early phase of the nature’s test, or we can say its power is at least equal to that of a practitioner of Human Clan in peak of the late phase of Huashen Realm.”

“Just the early phase of nature’s test.”

Su Li threw it to Ban Qian. He took it in confusion, “But… It is you who killed the monster. I didn’t help at all.”

“It is useless for me.”

Su Li smiled, “Take it. I want to see how you can help me, as an auxiliary practitioner.”

“Useless?”

Ban Qian could hardly believe his ears. Looking at the hot red essence, he couldn’t help but say, “Fellow Practitioner Su, even if you are not a body practitioner, you could still refine it to improve your physical body. It’s beneficial to you…”

“Let’s continue mountain climbing.”

Su Li moved to the distance in an instant.

Ban Qian was abstracted for a second and then shook his head with a forced smile. He put away the essence and then followed her.

Soon they saw another road junction in front of them.

Su Li stopped.

“What happened, Fellow Practitioner Su? Let’s take the left fork?”

Ban Qian slowed down and stopped by Su Li.

“Yeah, the left one.”

With light flashing in her eyes, Su Li said, “I’m just thinking that since I could meet you at the first road junction, will it combine two entrances after we make our choice once from the beginning?”

Ban Qian was confused, “I didn’t see any relevant recordings in my sect.”

“Let’s check it out.”

Su Li took the left fork. Ban Qian looked vigilant and immediately followed her.

After a moment, the mountain was shrouded in mist. Ban Qian could see through the mist at the beginning. But as they went deep into it, the mist was becoming thicker and thicker. At the end, he could only see whiteness around them. Even his divine awareness couldn’t penetrate it.

“Fellow Practitioner Su?”

Ban Qian saw the vague shadow of Su Li in the white mist. He stepped forward and reached out, but the shadow turned into white fog.

“Fake?!”

Ban Qian was nervous and made finger gestures quickly with green light flashing in his eyes. The green light helped him to see clearer in the white mist. But he still couldn’t find Su Li.

“Fellow Practitioner Su?”

Ban Qian was even more nervous and kept walking. He knew that he should be worried about himself as opposed to Su Jiuzhou.

The left fork meant big risk. He almost couldn’t pass the previous test. This test might be more difficult for him. Moreover, he couldn’t get Su Jiuzhou’s help now.

After walking a long distance, Ban Qian found the mist there was not that thick. It seemed that a figure was hanging on the gallows.

A dead?

Ban Qian approached it slowly and warily. But he felt something creepy as he walked nearer.

This figure looked…a bit like Fellow Practitioner Su!

“Don’t …come over… Dangerous…”

Suddenly, the figure struggled, and a hoarse voice transmitted to his ears.

It was really Fellow Practitioner Su!

What happened?

Ban Qian removed the shield with Divine Thunder of Wood and walked faster. When seeing the glazed Su Li, he felt extremely nervous. He was about to make finger gesture to let Su Li go.

At this moment, he did not notice that the corners of the mouth of “Su Li” on the gallows cracked open and revealed two rows of fine and dense cold teeth.

As Ban Qian was about to touch the rope, a thin and white hand suddenly grabbed his wrist.

“Such an idiot. You’re fooled.”

Boom!!

Su Li looked coldly and punched out to destroy the gallows. All of a sudden, the mist began to billow and became more and more thicker.

“Disperse!”

Su Li snorted. Then a shriek came from the mist, and the mist dispersed. Some mist escaped from Ban Qian’s ears, and then it was disappeared by Su Li’s smack.

Ban Qian became sober and saw that it was actually a woman in red with a pale complexion instead of the gallows. What he saw before was made by her enthralling skill.

“It’s such a shame that my pupil skill didn’t see through this skill ofGhost Region.”

Ban Qian felt bitterly ashamed. Su Li glanced at him, “The pupil skill works on human as opposed to the ghosts. In addition, your pupil skill is not that good. You will die for overconfidence in it.”

Ban Qian gave a forced smile. Suddenly, he realized something and asked in astonishment, “Ghosts?”

Su Li nodded and pointed to the woman in the distance, “Do you know the ghosts?”

“The legendary ghosts which are extinct?”

With his eyes wide open, Ban Qian couldn’t help but turn his head to look at the woman, “It is rumored that the ghosts couldn’t be destroyed or be killed. It’s so difficult to defeat them. They became extinct for some reason. But how can we defeat them?”

“Difficult to defeat them?”

Su Li tilted her head and waved her sleeve. Then the Cang Lei’s Cave appeared. “Hong Bai.”

“Here I am, Sister.”

The little girl, wearing a red cotton-padded jacket, walked out of the cave. Two lines of blood tears had been wiped off from her face. Now her face was clean and white, and she looked like a child who was five or six years old.

Before Ban Qian could ask his question, he saw the little girl stretch out a pair of chubby hands. She didn’t make any other action, but that female ghost screeched. Then it turned into a curl of smoke and vanished.

“Well, Sister, I’m going back to take a break.”

The little girl skipped and went back to the Cang Lei’s Cave. Seeing it, Ban Qianwas stunned.

“So easy?”
