Yu Daochen's left eye narrowed, and the Samsara Blood Tears once again filled his entire eye sockets. "You can't escape anymore. Today, either you die or I die!"
Yu Daochen's voice was icy. If this creature escaped this time, when the time was right in the future, the surrounding hundred miles would surely be plunged into misery and suffering.
To be honest, Yu Daochen didn't want to see such a scene. Recalling how his master, Elder Tai, was willing to sacrifice himself for all living beings, he made up his mind that he had to kill this guy today.
Yu Daochen admitted that he couldn't be like Elder Tai, sacrificing himself to save all beings, but he absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen again.
Seeing that Yu Daochen was determined to kill him, the evil spirit no longer tried to escape. "Since you want to die, boy, I'll grant you your wish."
As soon as the evil spirit finished speaking, green flames erupted from its body, and its aura rapidly increased.
"Now I can only solve this brat before my soul burns out."
Yu Daochen looked at the evil spirit whose aura was rapidly increasing, and instead of fear, he felt joy. Since his Samsara Eye had been upgraded in this ninth life, he didn't even know his own limits. Today was a good opportunity to test them.
Yu Daochen waved his other hand, and ten drops of Samsara Blood Tears condensed into a pitch-black short sword radiating a deathly aura, floating in the air.
The evil spirit reached for its back, its fingers suddenly plunged in, and then it pulled hard, ripping out its spinal column.
Yu Daochen looked at the spinal column in the evil spirit's hand, his expression grave. He muttered, "Such heavy Yin energy!"
The evil spirit glared fiercely at Yu Daochen. "I was originally going to use this for my tribulation, but now I'd rather use it against you."
Yu Daochen ignored it and attacked first, his finger tracing the Kanglong Mace, and a ball of flame enveloped it.
Yu Daochen controlled the Samsara Blood Tears short sword to shoot out. The evil spirit dodged to the side, avoiding the short sword, but as soon as it turned its head, Yu Daochen was already in front of it, raising the Kanglong Mace and slashing down fiercely.
The evil spirit was forced to raise its spinal column to block.
*Bang!*
The spinal column collided with the Kanglong Mace. Yu Daochen felt his arms go numb and sighed inwardly.
"As expected of a Ghost King, even when heavily injured, their strength is still so domineering."
The evil spirit exerted force, and Yu Daochen was directly pushed back.
The evil spirit pressed its advantage, gripping the ghost-energy-emanating spinal column and striding forward to slash at Yu Daochen.
Seeing this, Yu Daochen was not flustered at all. With his other hand, he controlled the Samsara Blood Tears short sword that had flown out to return and stab at the back of the evil spirit's head, intending a surprise attack.
The evil spirit sensed the deathly aura behind it and dodged sharply to the left. The Samsara Blood Tears short sword missed.
Yu Daochen cursed inwardly, surprised by the guy's quick reaction.
Yu Daochen knew that there were only two ways he could destroy it now: first, a surprise attack with the Samsara Blood Tears short sword; second, to stall for time until the sun rose in the morning and roast it under the sun. But it seemed the first method was unlikely. Only the second method remained.
Yu Daochen raised the Kanglong Mace and slashed down, a sword energy mixed with the flames from the mace sweeping horizontally towards the evil spirit.
The evil spirit, seeing the flames heading for its neck, sneered. It condensed ghost energy in one hand, directly blocking the incoming flames, then squeezed hard, causing the flames to explode and stir up dust from the ground.
"Nothing more than this," the evil spirit snorted coldly and waved its hand, dispersing the dust.
Suddenly, Yu Daochen had leaped high into the air without the evil spirit knowing, and the Kanglong Mace raised above his head was already coming down.
The evil spirit raised its spinal column to block. The force of Yu Daochen's strike was beyond its imagination, and its feet, planted on the sticky ground, sank in by several centimeters.
A strange smile appeared on the evil spirit's face. "Is this all the strength you have? Not enough!"
Yu Daochen's expression changed. This evil spirit's strength was too much. Although the soul-burning technique could heal the evil spirit's injuries, this evil spirit was already at its limit. Even with such a miraculous technique, it could only recover less than fifty percent of its strength.
The evil spirit exerted force, pushing Yu Daochen away, and simultaneously swung the spinal column in its hand horizontally towards Yu Daochen's head.
Yu Daochen knew that if he was hit by this thing, his head would surely split open. He immediately raised the Kanglong Mace to parry the evil spirit's incoming spinal column.
The moment the Kanglong Mace touched the spinal column, Yu Daochen felt a sharp pain in his arm, and the Kanglong Mace almost slipped from his grasp.
The evil spirit clenched its fist and punched towards Yu Daochen's cheek.
The evil spirit's punch was extremely fast, like a breaking bamboo. Before Yu Daochen could even raise his hand to block, he was hit by this powerful punch.
Yu Daochen felt his world spin. The pain on his face made him instinctively squint, and his entire body was sent reeling backward.
The evil spirit grinned and swung the spinal column towards Yu Daochen's head.
At this moment, Yu Daochen could not see the evil spirit's attack clearly. He could only control the Samsara Blood Tears short sword to stab forward at the evil spirit.
Seeing the Samsara Blood Tears, the evil spirit was forced to retreat and dodge, halting its attack on Yu Daochen.
Yu Daochen endured the immense pain and controlled the Samsara Blood Tears short sword to attack continuously.
The evil spirit seized the opportunity, condensed its ghost energy onto the spinal column, and then fiercely slashed at Yu Daochen.
The ghost energy transformed into an energy wave that slashed towards Yu Daochen. Helpless, Yu Daochen could only control the Samsara Blood Tears short sword to change direction and shoot towards the energy wave.
