Ying'er was so afraid, but Gao Liang didn't flinch at all. This ghostly trick? Old Gao simply wouldn't be daunted—no matter how much you scare him. Seeing Gao Liang unmoved, the Ghost King immediately summoned his Soul-Siphoning Technique. As Gao Liang drifted into unconsciousness amid the marsh of阴 qi, the Ghost King exhaled a different yellow gas that surged directly toward Gao Liang's five vital organs and six internal cavities. As long as this yellow toxic gas touched Gao Liang, it would seep into and erode his spirit, damaging his soul until it detached from his body—then, the Ghost King would completely subdue him. Of course, Gao Liang wouldn't let that happen. With Ying'er's help, Gao Liang had developed a powerful mental strength. He immediately used this strength to regulate the complex energy within his body—the Five Elements, the terrestrial Earth energy, and the Underworld's Yin energy. "Energy Dragon Pearl!" Gao Liang commanded the energy dragon pearl within him, "Quick—accelerate all the elemental energies inside me!" "With a powerful roar, the energy dragon balls within him began to activate, bursting forth from his body with a loud 'pop,' their energy rapidly accelerating. High亮 possessed two major energy dragon balls: one discovered within a stone he found in the backyard of Dong Jiao's home, and the other acquired incidentally during his and his first wife Zhang YuPing's journey through the Qin Dynasty, which contained the ability to gather celestial and terrestrial spiritual energy. These two dragon balls represented earth and heaven respectively, symbolizing the unity of the cosmos. Thanks to absorbing Ying'er's spiritual energy, High亮 could now regulate all energy flows—like wielding a master sword. Yet, if he couldn't master the sword, no matter how powerful it was, it would remain useless. At present, however, High亮 has fully mastered his sword—his sword is drawn, and he now commands both the sword and the shield with ease. Indeed, High亮 is about to unleash his full potential. As the Ghost King and all the various spirits released a growing force that steadily consumed the阴 (yin) energy of the afterlife realm, High亮 roared, 'Here, I am the sovereign!' "As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible energy surged forth from Gao Liang. With Gao Liang at the center, it radiated outward—forming a circle—first at thirty meters, then extending further, continuing to spread beyond one hundred meters, where every large and small ghost was knocked down by the powerful shockwave energy. The Ghost King struggled, his throat moving slightly, nearly spitting out a mouthful of blood. He had never imagined that this shockwave specifically targeted the five organs and six vital systems within the human body. "Oh! My goodness! Oh my! Wow!" The cow-headed and pig-headed ghosts could no longer bear it, gasping and spitting out large amounts of blood. The other ghosts lay motionless on the ground, their nostrils already streaming with blood. "You! You're truly incredible! The accumulated yin energy gathered from the Underworld has no effect on you! Even the Heavenly Emperor standing here would surely perish—can you possibly surpass the Emperor? Who are you? Who exactly are you?" The Ghost King now clutched his chest tightly, feeling as though his internal organs were about to shift positions. "I am Gao Liang!" Gao Liang spoke with clear, precise words No wonder! The Celestial Emperor, Hou Yi, the Iron and Steel Giant, and even the Divine Phoenix are all no match for you! A young attendant reported this to me just yesterday—but I simply couldn’t believe it. How could an ordinary mortal achieve such extraordinary cultivation? Incredible! Incredible! The Ghost King gasped in astonishment. "Ghost King! Your time has come!" The Heavenly Deity stepped forward, seizing a short sword from a young servant and tossing it at the Ghost King’s feet, his voice cold and firm. "Now, you decide." With trembling hands, the Ghost King held the sword, clearly sensing the weight of High-Liang’s unyielding intent. Immediately, the Ghost King pleaded with High-Liang, bowing low and clutching his legs, begging, "Lord High-Liang! Spare me! Spare me!" "It’s too late," High-Liang said, his tone resolute. "I have said—anyone who harms my woman shall die." The Ghost King sensed the approaching end, yet he was far from willing to die at Gao Liang’s hands. While feigning sorrow, he swiftly shifted his strategy—deciding to target Gao Liang’s soft spot. "You won’t let me touch your woman, so I’ll touch your woman myself!" Enamored with Ying'er’s beauty, the Ghost King seized the moment when Gao Liang was distracted and rushed to her side, using his short sword to press against her neck. This deeply angered Gao Liang. It seemed the Ghost King had truly proven himself unscrupulous. He had originally hoped to avoid conflict, allowing the Ghost King to make his own way—only to find that this very king refused to recognize good manners, insisting on touching his own women. Moreover, he openly threatened Gao Liang, "If you dare move me, I’ll have her die right away! Hah! I’ll slash her delicate face with my sword!" Ying'er remained calm and simply reassured Gao Liang, "Husband, don’t worry about me! Do whatever you wish. I support you!" This line deeply moved him, for how much Ying'er loved herself—always supporting and encouraging her own strength. At this moment, as Ying'er spoke, the Ghost King immediately pressed his short sword firmly against her neck, blocking her throat and making her breathing extremely difficult. Gao Liang was furious. He instantly activated his Flash Step and Dragon Form Stroll, swiftly rotating in front of the Ghost King. The Ghost King’s eyes flashed with countless images of Gao Liang—so many that it was impossible to tell which one was genuine and which was not. As he hesitated, suddenly, he felt a piercing pain behind him, and a sharp blade deeply pierced his back, going all the way through his body. The Ghost King’s face showed clear pain as he fell backward, saying as he fell, “You are truly amazing! Truly amazing!” Gao Liang stared steadily at him and said, “Don’t blame me! All of this was driven by you!” Upon hearing these words, the Ghost King’s heavy body crashed down onto the ground, shattering the very floor of the Underworld. The King of Ghosts is dead! The lesser spirits throughout the Underworld wail in sorrow. Seeing the situation unfold, the Cow-Horned and Pig-Headed Ghosts hurry to flee. High Light smiles gently—these two ghosts, who had seized Ying'er and brought her to the Underworld, must perish. Hao-light and Ying'er visited the ghost king's harem and found that many female ghosts were being imprisoned there—acts all committed by the wicked ghost king, who was lustful and nearly ruined countless female ghosts every day.
