As long as they left the territory of the Ghost Manor, there would be many ways to escape.
However, one step was an extravagant hope for Fang Chen and Princess Huang at this moment.
Boom!
A vast power swept across the heavens and earth, causing the void to distort. Above the firmament, a dark aura fell down like a waterfall from the nine heavens.
The Ghost Manor Lord had arrived personally. With just a thought, he blocked Fang Chen and Princess Huang's path, causing them to sink into a quagmire.
"Trying to escape?"
The Ghost Manor Lord was shrouded in a black mist, causing others to be unable to see his face. His voice was filled with determination, causing others to tremble.
"Not good."
Princess Huang and Fang Chen exclaimed inwardly. They immediately struggled with all their might, trying to escape from the quagmire.
"What should we do?" Princess Huang was anxious.
At this point, it was impossible for them to escape safely. Fang Chen pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and made a crazy decision. He turned to look at Princess Huang and said in a deep voice, "I will stop the Ghost Manor Lord. You go first."
Although they might lose their lives if they stayed behind to stop the Ghost Manor Lord, it was better to die alone than both of them. Moreover, Fang Chen's strength was much stronger than Princess Huang's.
There might be a chance for them to survive if he stayed behind.
"No."
Princess Huang shook her head. However, Fang Chen took advantage of her unpreparedness and sent her flying with a slap. With the help of the powerful shockwave, Princess Huang's body shot out like a cannonball, leaving the range of the distorted space in a short while.
"Hmm?"
Seeing this, the Ghost Manor Lord flicked his finger. A black light condensed into a terrifying spear, containing an ancient demonic qi, and shot towards Princess Huang.
"Break for me."
At this moment, Fang Chen displayed his Invincible Swordsmanship. He waved his Spirit-slayer Sword and streaks of sharp sword beams spread out in the sky. The sword beams crisscrossed and slashed fiercely on the black spear.
Kacha!
When the two collided, a deafening force burst out. The attack of ten thousand swords weakened the black spear, and the luster on its body dimmed a little.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fang Chen swung his sword again, completely shattering the black spear.
Seeing this, the Ghost Manor Lord sneered, "What a stupid guy."
Although he was an Invincible Saint, as the Ghost Manor Lord, he could borrow the power of Heaven and Earth of the Ghost Manor territory. Hence, his combat strength was on par with a Half-Step Chaotic Supreme Realm expert.
In his eyes, a Ninth Order Saint was nothing more than an ant.
Therefore, when he saw Fang Chen desperately trying to block the black spear, he found it funny. A person who was about to die actually had the courage to face him.
In an instant, Princess Huang had already fled the territory of the Ghost Manor. The Ghost Manor Lord stretched out his hand as a black hole appeared in the air before him. He extended his hand into the black hole and swiftly reached out, grabbing towards Princess Huang.
"You can't escape."
The Ghost Manor Lord was very confident. Trying to escape from under his nose?
Weng!
However, when his large hand came into contact with Princess Huang, a strange scene occurred. A layer of strange halo suddenly appeared on the latter's body and actually blocked his large hand.
Dong dong dong!
Through the big hand, the Ghost Manor Lord felt an extremely dangerous aura. That aura made him tremble.
"How is this possible?"
The Ghost Manor Lord exclaimed. His eyes widened as he stared at the fleeing Princess Huang. "A primitive tribe?"
In that instant earlier, he sensed the aura of a primitive race from Princess Huang. His gaze turned sharp as he lowered his head and stared at Fang Chen.
What was going on?
He could sense that Princess Huang wasn't a primitive tribe member, but she had the aura of a primitive tribe on her body. She should be related to the primitive tribe.
Then, what about this young man in front of him?
Was he also related to the primitive tribe?
If that was the case, did their actions represent the primitive tribes?
For a moment, many thoughts appeared in the Ghost Manor Lord's mind.
Seeing that Princess Huang had safely retreated, Fang Chen breathed a sigh of relief. But his face was full of a bitter smile. The Ghost Manor Lord was too strong. He had no hope of escaping.
"It seems that her master left some defensive measures on her body." Fang Chen said.
Boom!
The Ghost Manor Lord didn't continue to pursue Princess Huang. He turned to glare at Fang Chen. The terrifying aura of an Invincible Saint spread out in an instant, causing the void to freeze.
"Back then, in the Dragon Slaying Cave, I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it."
The Ghost Manor Lord said coldly. Before the three heroes of the Ghost Manor died, his spiritual projection had descended into the Dragon Slaying Cave, wanting Fang Chen to let them go.
However, the latter not only killed the three heroes of the Ghost Manor in front of him, but also destroyed his spiritual projection.
At that time, the Ghost Manor Lord had said that he would kill Fang Chen one day.
Who would have thought that Fang Chen would enter the territory of the Ghost Manor after escaping from the Flying Phoenix Palace with great difficulty?
The Ghost Manor Lord's body was filled with a sinister aura. His every move seemed to affect the power of heaven and earth. Fang Chen was under great pressure, but he didn't give up. Even if there was only a slim chance of survival, he had to fight for it.
"Now, you dare to kill people in my Ghost Manor's territory. You've got guts." The Ghost Manor Lord said coldly. "Are you ready to die?"
As soon as his voice fell, the Ghost Manor Lord swung his sleeve. The black spear condensed again. This time, its power was even stronger. It instantly shot towards Fang Chen.
"Kill."
Fang Chen displayed his Invincible Sword Art and activated his Vermilion Bird bloodline at the same time.
Buzz!
The aura of an ancient divine beast rippled out, instantly breaking the shackles of the surrounding void. The Ghost Manor Lord's face revealed a look of surprise.
"Vermilion Bird bloodline?"
The Ghost Manor Lord smiled greedily. He licked his dry lips and formed a seal with his hands. "I just happen to need a divine beast bloodline to cultivate."
Outside the territory of the Ghost Manor, on a barren plain.
Whoosh!
Although her body was protected by a strange light, she still suffered a serious injury when the Ghost Manor Lord's hand touched her.
Princess Huang sat on the ground, panting heavily. The scene just now was very thrilling. Fortunately, her master had left a backup plan on her.
Whoosh!
All of a sudden, ripples appeared in the void, and an indistinct old man appeared out of nowhere.
"Master."
Princess Huang exclaimed. She didn't expect her master to come.
At the same time, she also told her master about Fang Chen's situation and his identity. She thought that her master would come to rescue him.
"Disciple, I'm here to save you."
The old man stroked his beard and smiled. "As for him, this is his destiny and also his destined calamity. No one can interfere." His gaze pierced through the void and saw Fang Chen, who was fighting fiercely with the Ghost Manor Lord.
A complicated expression appeared on his face as he sighed slightly.
