Flower Fairy's face paled since she couldn't stand the chilling presence. She asked, "How do we kill the hell ghost?"
Black Puppy's face was grim. "You can kill them only with the power of thunder and lightning."
Flower Fairy shook her head, saying, "Thunder and lightning are one of the original forces of nature and one of the five most powerful elements of the Heavenly Dao. Only Qingfeng Li has this power, but he is still in Hell and can't rescue us."
"This place is very dangerous, so we can't stay here. We must leave immediately," Black Puppy said grimly.
Flower Fairy, Xianzhi Qin, and the members of the Wolf Fang Team nodded, knowing they had to leave at once.
But the black mist had quickly spread and they were soon surrounded by it.
Now they couldn't leave even if they wanted to, since the black mist had enshrouded them.
Hiss…
"So much delicious blood. I like it." A chilling voice echoed from the depths of the black mist, full of killing intent and thirst for blood.
All the members of the Wolf Fang Team took out their spiritual devices and channeled their vital essence, getting ready for battle.
Human-shaped hell ghosts walked out of the black mist, formed by black dark energies.
Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake swung their paws and snake tail respectively at the hell ghosts, but the attacks were useless against them, since they were just souls and didn't have a physical entity.
Disheveled, pale-faced and sporting four sharp fangs, the hell ghost in the black mist released horrifying sounds of laughter.
Flower Fairy, Xianzhi Qin and Ziyue Jiang also launched attacks, but none of them could kill it.
Now, the hell ghosts were less than one meter away from them. It extended its ink-black hand with long sharp fingernails and clawed at Flower Fairy's face.
Pale-faced, Flower Fairy used her palm to block the sharp fingernails, but it was useless.
The claw pierced Flower Fairy's palm of vital essence and reached only three centimeters away from her face. The next moment, they would eviscerate her cheeks.
Flower Fairy's expression changed sharply with anxiety. Although she cared about her beauty since she was a woman, the claw threatened to do much worse than just leave a scar.
Swoosh!
At this critical moment, a flash of sword energy slashed toward the hell ghost's fingernails and shattered its fingers and palm.
Joyous, Flower Fairy tuned to find that her savior was Qingfeng.
"Brother Li, you escaped from Hell!" Flower Fairy said excitedly.
Qingfeng Li nodded, saying, "Yes, I did. All of you back off. These hell ghosts are formed by the dark aura of Hell and I will deal with them with my Fire Emperor Sword Techniques.
"Fire River." He hacked forward Fire Emperor Sword abruptly, which transformed into a giant river of flames.
The Fire River was thousands of meters long, full of burning magma and tumbling fires, burning the whole sky until nothing remained.
The raging fires entered the black mist and burned it into blue smoke that dissipated into the air.
In the depth of the blue smoke, a black hell ghost glared at Qingfeng Li with killing intent in its eyes.
"Human, you dared to wound me. I will kill you." The hell ghost slashed its sharp claws at Qingfeng Li in anger.
"Since you're asking for your death, I will grant your wish." Qingfeng Li smiled coldly, killing intent flashing in his eyes.
With a thought, he took out the Thunder Pearl from his interspatial ring.
It was the size of an egg, but it contained thousands of lightning runes that were flashing inside. Qingfeng Li's current spirit energy had reached the Spirit Emperor Realm and thus, he could control 100 bolts of lightning, which were one third of the content of the Thunder Pearl.
Qingfeng Li mumbled a chant and ten bolts of red lightning shot out from the pearl.
They struck the hell ghost, burning it into a puff of blue smoke that vanished into the air. Lightning was the natural enemy of all hell ghosts and evil existences, and this was exemplified by the hell ghost dying, without leaving even a fragment of its soul behind.
"Big Brother Li, you are amazing!" Flower Fairy said excitedly, giving Qingfeng Li a thumbs-up.
Qingfeng Li smiled slightly, saying, "We must leave here now. More hell ghosts may appear any second because this is the entrance to Hell."
Nodding, the group left with Qingfeng Li, who killed all the other hell ghosts on their way out.
Equipped with thunder and lightning, none of the Hell ghosts were a match for Qingfeng.
One hour later, he led the group to a dense forest which was one thousand kilometers away from the entrance to Hell. A deep cliff was on one side of the forest and roars of demonic beasts could be heard from the depth of the black hedges.
Qingfeng Li asked Black Puppy, "Puppy, did Mengyao Fu and Linger Yao come out?"
Black Puppy looked puzzled and in a small voice it said teasingly, "Tell me, Qingfeng Li, what are the two women to you and why are you so concerned about them?"
Qingfeng Li slapped Black Puppy on the head, saying coldly, "Quit the chit chat. Tell me if they left Hell or not."
Black Puppy took issue with the slap. It curled its lips and ignored Qingfeng Li's question.
Qingfeng Li turned to ask Sky-Devouring Snake, "Did you see Linger Yao and Mengyao Fu come out?"
Afraid of being slapped, Sky-Devouring Snake said, "They came out of the depths of Hell long ago."
Qingfeng Li was relieved at Sky-Devouring Snake's answer.
He led the group forward until they came to a set of ruins.
The large ruins in the Kunlun Mountains used to be a palace of the Sword Saint Sect, and it had been destroyed by foreign immortals during the ancient era.
"You wait for me here. I'm going in there to see a person." Qingfeng Li gestured the group to wait outside.
He walked toward the ruins which were made of shattered stone pillars that seemed to belong to a palace, and the rocks and tiles were everywhere on the floor.
Large amounts of sword energies shot out from the ruins, keeping humans out.
As a cultivator of sword techniques, Qingfeng Li was familiar with the sword energy and dodged the attacks by shifting slightly to the left.
