Chapter 15830 Caution
Upon seeing this, Li Ruobing and the others' expressions changed. They truly hadn't expected that this deadly sword technique would be so formidable. With a single strike, a ghostly realm appeared. Such a method was not something an ordinary cultivator could possess. His strength was indeed greater than that of many kingdom-level experts.

Li Ruobing was well aware that the sword technique used by this "Life-Taking" was a ghost-attribute sword technique. This sword technique was indeed very powerful, but he had used it in the wrong place this time. The Blood Slaughter Sect actually had the best way to counter such techniques, which was Buddhist power. The Buddhist power of the Blood Slaughter Sect was specifically designed to counter all kinds of ghost energy. Not only ghost energy, but even yin-attribute energy was the nemesis of Buddhist power. Therefore, using Buddhist power to deal with this "Life-Taking" sword technique was the most appropriate thing to do.

The others obviously thought of this as well. The next moment, a burst of golden light suddenly erupted from Li Ruobing and the others. As soon as the golden light appeared, the ghostly figures around them disappeared. The next moment, the golden light shone brightly, and the entire space seemed to be illuminated.

Just then, Suoming suddenly appeared in front of Li Ruobing and slashed at him with his sword. Li Ruobing noticed Suoming and with a flick of his wrist, a long sword appeared in his hand, its surface gleaming with golden light. The sword blocked Suoming's sword.

However, the power of Suoming's strike was immense. Li Ruobing's body was sent flying backward by the blow. Just as Suoming was about to pursue Li Ruobing, two extremely sharp auras suddenly came straight at his back. Suoming knew that these were the other people from the Nine Yang Immortal Palace who had come to attack him and relieve Li Ruobing's predicament.

He immediately turned around and used the Night Battle Eight Directions Hidden Blade Style. A burst of blade light appeared around him, directly protecting his body. The next moment, two clangs were heard as his longsword blocked the two swords that were attacking him.

That wasn't the end of it. More attacks followed, and Suoming hurriedly tried to defend himself, but he was no longer able to attack. After all, he was being attacked by ten kingdom-level experts, and two of them were no less powerful than him. Faced with these ten kingdom-level experts, he could only defend; he couldn't attack.

Suoming was also extremely helpless, but he had no way to do anything. He had tried to contact their sect before, but it was useless. He simply couldn't reach their sect, so he had to think of another way. The way he thought of was to fight Li Ruobing and his group. Although he knew he was no match for Li Ruobing and his group, as long as he died at their hands, his soul tablet in the sect would definitely shatter. Once his soul tablet was broken, the sect would know he was dead. He had only just arrived and he was already dead. It would be strange if the sect didn't become suspicious. At that time, the sect would definitely send someone to investigate the situation, and Zhong Wuya's betrayal would be discovered. Then, Zhong Wuya and his group would not have an easy time either.

This is how Suo Ming used his own life to send a message to the Gate of Hell. It shows that he is indeed very powerful. Even in a desperate situation, he could still think of such a method. But unfortunately, he had no understanding of the Blood Slaughter Sect. He didn't know that his method could not send a message to the Gate of Hell, because even if he died, his soul tablet at the Gate of Hell would not be broken.

To be honest, this Soul-Snatching Blade is indeed powerful. His sword technique is called the Evil Ghost Soul-Snatching Blade, and it is extremely powerful. With this sword technique, he has made a great name for himself in the Hell Gate area. This sword technique has been thoroughly studied. If a technique is truly thoroughly studied, its power will become even greater. This is also another form of mastering a single move.

Some might say, "That's impossible. If too many people know a sword technique, it won't be effective anymore, right? After all, if someone figures out a sword technique, the enemy will definitely find a way to counter it, and then how will you fight them?"

However, this is actually a misconception. Take, for example, the Blood Slaughter Sect's Eight Forms of Blood Battle sword technique. This sword technique is still the signature sword technique of the Blood Slaughter Sect, and many Blood Slaughter Sect disciples have long since mastered it. Yet, its power remains considerable. Why? Because once you master this sword technique, there are countless combinations. For instance, one strike might be Blood Battle to the End, and the next might be Blood Rain and Bloodshed, or even a bloody mess. You can freely follow any move from the Eight Forms of Blood Battle. As long as you practice this sword technique enough, its variations are endless. After all, you can use the moves of this sword technique at will. You could even combine Blood Rain and Bloodshed ten times in a row without any problem. But you must thoroughly study this sword technique and use it with unparalleled proficiency. Otherwise, some variations will be very difficult to execute.

The same applies to Suoming. He has thoroughly studied the set of evil ghost soul-snatching blades he uses, so he can use any move in this set of blades at will. The changes in the moves are completely at his own discretion. It is precisely because of this that Li Ruobing and the other ten people attacked Suoming for nearly an hour but failed to defeat him.

However, Suoming also had many more injuries. Suoming was unaware that even if he died immediately, his soul tablet would not break, because the blood flowing from his wounds had already entered the puppet runes. So even if he died, his soul tablet would not shatter.

Suoming was nearing his limit. Such a prolonged and intense battle was taking its toll. Although he was very strong, the sheer intensity of the fight was taking its toll. In contrast, Li Ruobing and the others seemed completely unaffected. Suoming was at a loss for words; he couldn't believe how powerful and profound their spiritual energy was. Li Ruobing and the others noticed Suoming's condition. Li Ruobing turned to look at Kongming, who immediately understood. Kongming suddenly roared, and with a flick of his hand, a sphere appeared. Several fireballs were then launched towards Suoming.

The sphere in his hand was none other than the Solar Array. He used the Solar Array to unleash a spell. Those fireballs weren't very big, only about the size of a football, but they contained the true fire of the sun, making them extremely difficult to deal with.

Moreover, Kongming's shout just now did startle Suoming, and his attention was more drawn to Kongming, so he did not see Li Ruobing's hand brush across his longsword, and then he directly released his longsword. His longsword was a flying sword, so of course it could be released from his hand.

With a swing of his longsword, Soul Reaper unleashed countless ghostly shadows that hurtled towards the fireballs. However, upon encountering the fireballs, each ghostly shadow let out a scream before vanishing in a wisp of smoke. It was important to know that the fireballs contained the True Fire of the Sun, a pure Yang fire, the nemesis of any ghost and any Yin-attribute energy. Therefore, the ghostly shadows he unleashed were precisely countered by the True Fire of the Sun, and thus, upon touching the fireballs, they instantly turned into smoke and disappeared.

In the brief moment of distraction, he sensed another sharp aura rushing towards his back. He took a deep breath, then slashed his longsword backward with a clang, striking the flying sword aimed at his back. At the same time, he once again slashed his longsword towards the fireball.

But the next moment, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and at the same time, all his spiritual energy rapidly dissipated. This startled Suoming, and then he looked down in disbelief, just in time to see a short sword slowly retreating from his chest. Suoming turned his head to look, and he found that this short sword was somewhat special. The blade was thinner and shorter, but the hilt was the same as a normal sword hilt. At the same time, he also saw the blade of a normal long sword fly back, and then the short sword actually went directly into the blade of the long sword as if it were sheathed. This long sword was actually a mother-and-child sword. He blocked the mother sword, but he did not block the child sword.

Then he saw the longsword fly back into someone's hand. That person was none other than Li Ruobing. Suoming spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes fixed on Li Ruobing. Li Ruobing looked at him and smiled slightly, saying, "Don't look. No one says I can't use the mother-and-child sword."

Suoming said in a hoarse voice, "Shameless." He really didn't expect Li Ruobing to be so insidious, using such a magical artifact to attack him.

Li Ruobing smiled slightly and said, "Killing you is the most important thing; the method is not important."

Upon hearing this, Suoming spat out another mouthful of blood. He was at a loss for words. At the same time, Suoming was also curious as to why the fireball released by Kongming had not yet hit him. Logically, the fireball should have hit him long ago. He turned to look at Kongming again, only to find that there was no fireball in front of him at all. Kongming was looking at him with a smile.

Suoming lived up to his reputation as a kingdom-level expert; his vitality was incredibly strong. Li Ruobing's sword had clearly pierced his heart, yet he hadn't died and had held on for so long, demonstrating just how powerful his life force was. But at that moment, another sword suddenly pierced his neck from behind, the tip emerging from his throat. Suoming's eyes bulged, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and blood gushed from his neck like a fountain. He tried to turn his head, but it was too late. Then, everything went black, and he lost consciousness. However, before he lost consciousness, he heard a voice say, "Don't forget the sect's rules. Experts like this, as long as they're not completely dead, might unleash a fatal blow. We absolutely cannot give them that opportunity. If we're killed by them at the last moment, that would be too shameful. So it's best to let him die completely."

That's all he heard, and then he knew nothing more. But the last two words that popped into his mind were "cautious!" His opponent was indeed too cautious, because his guess was right. He did have one last desperate move that he originally wanted to use, but unfortunately, his opponent didn't give him the chance.
