2011 Remains (1/2)

Although the cave's area wasn't particularly large, Qingfeng Li and Linglong Xue's path forward was extremely difficult.

The aura of the saint filled the cave. It was composed of two kinds of intermingling lights, Yin light and Yang light.

Black and white, Yin and Yang, the two kinds of light darted around throughout the cave, tearing space and time apart. Even the dimensional barrier was shattered, creating spinning vortices containing shards of terrifying energy. The slightest lapse of caution could result in a body full of bloody scratches.

Qingfeng Li walked at the front. His spirit energy was powerful enough that he could instantly discern the Yin-Yang lights' trajectories and dodge out of the way.

Behind him, Linglong Xue followed. Where Qingfeng Li dodged, she followed suit.

By now, Linglong Xue had a great deal of trust in Qingfeng Li. She knew that this man had ultimate treasures and was no weaker than her.

Behind the two of them, Huozhu Chi followed close. The Huozhu Chi now had eyes filled with devilish energy. Black devilish marks crawled all over his skin, covering his energy and making it undetectable.

After walking for a while, Qingfeng Li stopped and, in a sudden movement, turned around to look behind him. However, he saw nothing.

Noticing Qingfeng Li's odd behaviour, Linglong Xue asked, ”Why are you looking behind us? Is there someone there?”

Qingfeng Li shook his head. ”Not someone. But I feel like something isn't right, like something is following us. But I can't detect it.”

Linglong Xue lifted a brow. She shot out a beam of blood-red light from her own eyes and scanned behind them. However, she, too, found nothing.

She shook her head. ”What could possibly be following us?” she said. ”Our spirit energies are so strong now that, unless it's a saint, there's no way someone could follow us undetected.”

Qingfeng Li sighed. ”Let's go,” he said. ”Continue forward. But we must be careful.”

Linglong Xue nodded. Although she didn't sense any danger, she still believed what Qingfeng Li had said. She, too, began to move with caution.

After walking for a while, Qingfeng Li and Linglong Xue's expressions both changed. They found a baleful spirit before them.

This baleful spirit was very large, larger than any they had seen before now. It was three meters tall, with canine teeth measuring a full thirty centimeters. Its power was at the ninth level of spirit monarch realm, stronger than the two of them by a full realm.

”Ghost Marshal,” Qingfeng Li said.

He could already tell that the baleful spirit before them was a Ghost Marshal, capable of commanding large numbers of Ghost Generals and Ghost Soldiers. No wonder it was so powerful.

The Ghost Marshal looked in Qingfeng Li's direction and cracked open its mouth. A black tongue dangled from its mouth. Its eyes were filled with a vicious light as it tore through the air with its clawed hands, launching an attack at Qingfeng Li.

Qingfeng Li quickly swung his own fist, emitting a golden light. It collided with the clawed hand of the thing in an echoing clash. In the next instant, Qingfeng Li and the Ghost Marshal were both forced back a step.

Qingfeng Li' expression changed. He hadn't expected the Ghost Marshal to be so powerful as to force even him back one step.

Linglong Xue took a step forward, wanting to help Qingfeng Li. She swung her own hand forward in a beam of blood-red light, colliding with the clawed hand of the Ghost Marshal.
