Becoming an immortal and ancestor begins with the golden toad spitting out money.

Chapter 125 The Bull-Headed Demon King Flees in Disarray

Although only six or seven days have passed since Su Ji participated in the City God's Spirit Realm, many things have happened.

Su Ji first suppressed the firebird Yan Chong, and rose to fame as a member of the Xuanmen Daoist lineage. Yan Chong later served as a mining supervisor and showed great respect for him...

The ghost king before us is most likely not from the White Rock Mountains.

Subsequently, Su Ji fought against many cultivators from the Great Sun Spirit Realm, which led to his association with the top-grade spiritual herb, the Flesh Spirit Mushroom. Recently, many ghost kings and high-ranking cultivators he has encountered have wanted to buy the Flesh Spirit Mushroom, which is why there will be an auction tomorrow night.

It didn't matter that Su Ji didn't recognize the Ghost King in front of him; what mattered was that this Ghost King was riding a black fish demon with a terrible reputation.

Finally, there is Su Ji's top spot on both lists. In the eyes of countless cultivators, Su Ji is already a "super-rich" man with a net worth of nearly 20,000 strands of divine power.

Even a high-ranking cultivator like the Earth God doesn't possess ten thousand strands of divine power; even the Ghost Kings of those immortal cultivation families would find it difficult to unleash ten or twenty thousand strands of divine power at once...

Su Ji had long anticipated that cultivators would covet his wealth, and had repeatedly asked the City God Temple's night-roaming spirits and the local earth god Zhang Gong to escort him...

Unexpectedly, Su Ji encountered the Ghost King blocking his way on his first solo mission today.

Yan Tianchou analyzed, "Whether this Ghost King tamed the Black Fish Demon or the Ghost King colluded with the Black Fish, they probably didn't have any good intentions!"

Su Ji's route to the City God Temple was always very fixed: from the Earth God Temple to Qili Lake and then to Jinfeng County. Even if he was practicing at high altitude, there would still be a process of flying up and down.

Each time, Su Ji would land a hundred feet above Qili Lake, and the Ghost King would just get stuck in mid-air when Su Ji landed.

Most importantly, the Ghost King just stared at Su Ji without saying a word.

Su Ji dared not take any risks. Since the road to Qili Lake was blocked and he didn't know if there was any danger in the direction of Jinfeng County, he simply flew directly towards the village not far away.

"Humph!"

The Ghost King merely snorted coldly, making no move, and simply stared at Su Ji as he fled towards Lake Beach Village.

"not good!"

Su Ji had only flown a few feet when he discovered a cruel truth: not only was there a ghost king blocking the way to the village, but there was also a ghost king in the direction of the East Sang and West Sang Earth God Temples.

...Could it be that several ghost kings have joined forces to ambush here?

This situation is not impossible. Three thousand strands of divine power are enough to persuade the Thunder God to send down an avatar, let alone Su Ji, who is so valuable.

Seeing the three ghost kings begin to mobilize their magical power to cast spells, Yan Tianchou immediately came to a conclusion: "Based on the energy fluctuations, the three ghost kings possess the same eerie aura, similar to the three accomplices of a demonic tiger, or the three water ghosts born from the same river..."

Back then, the Black Tiger Demon sent out his accomplices to collect nightmare ghosts in East Sang and West Sang villages. In the end, they escaped the village under the cover of the accomplices.

Water ghosts are also known as changgui (伥鬼), but since most rivers lack their own agency, water ghosts can leave once they cultivate to the level of a ghost general...

Yan Tianchou had at least seen the Bloodline Tiger King of the White Rock Mountains, but the three Ghost Kings in front of him did not have the domineering aura of the Tiger Demon, so he could only make comparisons.

Su Ji's heart skipped a beat: "Could it be that the three 'Ghost Kings' were originally just Ghost Generals, and some being possessed a talent similar to that of a tiger demon, which elevated the three Ghost Generals to the Ghost King level?"

This is not impossible.

Just like Scholar Deng, if he makes a breakthrough in paper-cutting after being promoted to Ghost King, he will be able to create Ghost King-level paper-cuts.

For Thousand Changes Town, it's even simpler; all you need to do is refine a superior mechanical spirit core to gain the combat power of a Ghost King and a high-level cultivator.

With that, Su Ji felt much more at ease.

Although the Paper-cut Ghost King possesses the fighting power of a Ghost King, he cannot withstand much strain; the Ghost King Puppet's magical artifacts are powerful, but they also consume a great deal of energy...

If the three before them were merely pseudo-ghost kings, even if they possessed the magic power of a ghost king, they would not have any high-grade spells or supernatural abilities available. Their defensive power might be comparable to that of a ghost king, but their offensive power might only be at the level of a great ghost general.

Su Ji didn't want to waste his trump card on the three fake ghost kings, so he instantly chose an opponent.

"Incandescent crystal rays!"

Su Ji immediately launched an attack, targeting the pseudo-ghost king riding the black fish demon in the direction of Qili Lake.

"As expected, they will resist. This makes the hunt even more interesting!" The pseudo-ghost king from the direction of Qili Lake treated this encirclement and suppression as a hunt.

Moreover, they had anticipated that the Golden Toad would break out towards Qili Lake, which is why they deployed an extra Black Fish Demon in that direction.

"boom……"

The blazing crystal ray was extremely fast, and the False Ghost King had no time to dodge it, taking a solid hit to the chest.

However, to Su Ji's dismay, the effect of this attack was unexpectedly poor.

Su Ji also saw through the other party's methods and was very surprised: "He carries a stone tablet with him?"

The other party seemed to have already figured out Su Ji's methods and had prepared countermeasures in advance, carrying a real stone slab on their person.

This stone slab is not a magical artifact; it's just an ordinary stone slab. It may not be able to block many spells, but it is the nemesis of energy attacks like sunlight.

Yan Tianchou immediately analyzed, "After the sunlight shattered the stone slab, only a small portion of the energy caused damage, which was not significant for the Ghost King's magical defenses."

Earthy energy is just a kind of energy rising from the soil; the earthy energy contained within the soil is much richer and more profound... If it weren't for the power of the sunlight shattering the stone slab, it might not have even caused any damage.

Su Ji's heart skipped a beat: "No wonder these ghost kings are moving so slowly, it turns out they've been carrying the stone slabs and hiding them inside their bodies!"

The Heavenly Soul can only sense the aura of a cultivator; only by getting closer can the Heavenly Soul probe deeper.

At this point, the two sides were still some distance apart, which is why Su Ji only then realized the other side's true strength and weakness.

Fortunately, Suji's sunlight has more than just that much power.

Back when they were dealing with the catfish demon at Qili Lake, Su Ji had already considered the drawbacks of the single blazing crystal ray.

"Blazing Crystal Feathers!"

As soon as Su Ji had a thought, more rays of sunlight flew out from the blazing crystal, but this time they were not rays that were a foot long, but rather light feathers that were only two inches long.

"Boom...boom..."

This time, the pseudo-ghost king riding the black fish demon changed his expression slightly. Even though he used the stone slab inside his body to defend himself again, he still took four hits.

"hiss--"

Even with the defenses of a Ghost King, the Pseudo-Ghost King's soul body remained Yin. Although the four wounds on his body, which were constantly emitting black smoke, did not penetrate his soul body, they continued to erode it in all directions.

Su Ji was thrilled. Eighty or ninety percent of the power of the first Earth Sunshine Ray was wasted, and only twenty percent of the power of the second Earth Sunshine Ray was wasted. A few more shots would surely severely injure the pseudo-ghost king in front of him.

However, the False Ghost King showed no fear. His pained face was contorted with rage as he said, "You've used up two beams of light comparable to high-grade spells. Let's see what other tricks you have up your sleeve!"

It is common knowledge that Su Ji severely injured the catfish demon and killed the catfish leader with a single blow in Qili Lake.

Su Ji, however, is no longer the same as before. He has transformed all four Blazing Crystals of the Great Sun Spirit Realm into Solar Heavenly Light Spirit Artifacts, and now he is only using Blazing Crystal Rays.

"Blazing Crystal Feathers!"

Although the false demon king was startled, he remained fearless. He dodged backward while simultaneously using his black fish demon mount as a shield. "Bang..."

The Black Fish Demon lived lawlessly in the abyss at the bottom of Seven Mile Lake, and its combat power was among the strongest of the Great Demon Generals. Even now, as a mount, it should not be underestimated.

Five blazing crystal feathers flew out, leaving only five wounds about an inch in diameter on the black fish demon's belly. Wisps of earthy energy oozed from the wounds, and charred spiritual soil could even be seen.

Su Ji was immediately alarmed. The black fish demon had forcibly incorporated a lot of earth-elemental spiritual materials into its body, turning it into a mobile shield.

Metal and wood elemental materials are difficult to restore once shattered, but earth elemental materials can be kneaded at will. Not to mention that the black fish demon is a water-attribute demon, and the soft earth elemental materials are more likely to return to their original form.

"boom--"

At this moment, the other two false ghost kings did not remain idle and began to use ranged spells to attack Su Ji.

"【Shadow Escape】!"

Fortunately, these were just fake ghost kings, and their spells had no tracking ability, so Su Ji easily dodged them.

Yan Tianchou suggested, "The enemy is riding a black fish demon and moves slowly, and there are still some distance between them and the two pseudo-ghost kings... The best course of action is to break through to the southwest as quickly as possible."

"Of course, the southwest might be an opening deliberately left by the enemy, and their real trump card might be blocked there!"

To the southwest, one can not only enter Qili Lake, but also head towards Jinfeng County.

Of course, Su Ji could also break through to the northeast in the opposite direction, but Yan Tianchou always remembered the scene of the blind old Taoist being devoured by the Heavenly Secret, and strongly advised against Su Ji going to the northeast.

"Then let's go southwest!"

Su Ji was quite confident; even if he encountered a true Ghost King, he wouldn't be without the power to fight. He then flew towards the southwest.

"Where to go!"

The false demon king, riding a black fish demon, was furious and raised his hand to cast a spell to stop him.

Immediately, Su Ji saw this scene through the Heavenly Calculation. Not wanting to delay any longer, he quietly took out a piece of blazing crystal from the Five Aperture Heart Stone.

"Blazing Crystal Feathers!"

The fourth ray of sunlight suddenly shot out, and even though the False Demon King had the Black Fish Demon as a shield, he was still hit by two rays of light, which affected his spellcasting.

"【Shadow Escape】!"

This time, Su Ji escaped five zhang away, not only avoiding the two spells behind him, but also escaping the triangular encirclement space of the three pseudo-ghost kings.

From then on, even if the three pseudo-ghost kings attacked together, they could not block Su Ji's evasive direction.

"Four techniques comparable to high-grade spells!"

With a sigh, a bull-headed demon nearly ten feet tall emerged from the shadows. Its two ring-shaped horns flashed with black light, and a black circle wrapped around Su Ji.

Yan Tianchou immediately came to an analysis: "He also exudes a strange aura, and is suspected to be the master of the three pseudo-ghost kings!"

In battles where life and death can be decided in an instant, Yan Tianchou can only try his best to analyze the opponent and observe the battle situation. All dangers depend on Su Ji's own response.

"【Shadow Escape】!"

Su Ji used Yin-Yang Mystic Arts to escape again, but to his surprise, the black circle with the bull horn shape drew an arc and continued flying towards his landing spot.

"King-level demon!"

Su Ji was shocked and, without the slightest hesitation, activated the Blazing Crystal he had been saving.

"Blazing Crystal Feathers!"

As five beams of light shot out, two of them struck the black circle of bull horns, while the other three shot towards the pseudo-ghost king riding the black fish demon.

"boom……"

As expected, after the black circle with the bull horn was hit, it not only burst out of a cloud of black smoke, but its flight trajectory also became erratic, eventually flying into the distance.

Su Ji did not let his guard down, because the Bull-Headed Demon King had already attacked.

The Bull-Headed Demon King could have attacked from a distance, but he insisted on flying in to kill Su Ji, probably because he wanted to capture him alive.

Su Ji was not about to let the other party get close. This kind of huge ghost king was obviously very good at close combat. Not to mention him, a Dongxuan mage, even the monkey spirit ghost king of Baiyan Mountain would probably not be a match for the bull-headed ghost king.

Therefore, Su Ji used his trump card: "Sunlight version of Earthly Yang Feather!"

The two sides were not far apart, and the speed of the sun's rays was incomparable to that of the earth's rays, so it hit the Bull-Headed Demon King in an instant.

"Ok?"

The Ox-Headed Demon King had planned his timing perfectly, but he never expected the Golden Toad to have such a trick up its sleeve.

"Boom...boom..."

Where the five rays of sunlight, blessed by the sun, fell, even the powerful Bull-Headed Demon King was severely injured.

"These yang energies actually contain the sunlight of the sun!"

A talisman can generally be activated three to five times. Su Ji used it twice at Qili Lake last time, and just now he used it five more times. Even with two talismans, he has almost exhausted them.

The bull-headed demon, knowing that Su Ji must have run out of tricks and seeing that Su Ji was about to break through, revealed his true form.

Unexpectedly, Su Ji had this trick up his sleeve.

Some demons and ghosts have water-attribute souls, such as Qian Feng and the group of demons and ghosts from Qili Lake. Others, like Mo Linglong, have metal-attribute souls. However, most demons and ghosts are predominantly yin-attribute.

During the day, even demons and ghosts of the Yin attribute dare not show their faces, for they fear the Yang energy and light of the earth, not to mention the sunlight from high above.

Some even believe that the sunlight is a power that only gods and immortals can control.

This is not unfounded. The biggest challenge of the Great Sun Wonderland Project and the Bright Moon Wonderland Project is to remove the sunlight from the weather. The yang energy of the heavens has become an essential energy for the wonderland.

As a result, even though Su Ji divided the sunlight into five beams of light, it still possessed extremely strong destructive power.

Immediately, even though the Bull-Headed Demon King still had the strength to fight, his heart was filled with fear.

"Could it be that this child possesses three talismanic treasures, two of which can emit sunlight rays, and one of which can emit the light of the sun?"

A ray of sunlight severely injured the Minotaur King. If the same attack were to strike again, the Minotaur King might even perish on the spot.

"Cover my retreat!" The Minotaur Demon King not only dared not pursue Su Ji, but also turned and fled towards the three pseudo-ghost kings.

Soon, four figures positioned the black fish demon at the forefront and began to flee in a panic towards the northeast.
