NOVEL NEXT Chapter 113 Annihilation
```
The giant toad monster exploded, its body ravaged by the ghost energy from the White Ghost Emperor.
The flesh-covered elder's black banner also tore apart, losing its spirituality significantly.
Enshrouded in pitch-black ghost energy, the White Ghost Emperor's form flickered, and in an instant, he appeared before Luo Weihao, his claw piercing through Luo Weihao's heart. With a casual toss, he discarded the body on the ground.
"Monster!! Ghost, king of a hundred ghosts! How can it be so terrifying?"
Fear flashed though Yi Wanqing's eyes as she directly controlled her magic artifact to fly away into the distance.
The flesh-covered elder in the late stage of Foundation Establishment also paled, summoning a flying disc and transforming into an escape light, fleeing into the distance.
The young cultivator in the silver robe slapped a spirit beast bag on his person, from which a majestic second-order celestial crane burst forth, carrying him off into the distance.
"Want to escape? It's not that simple."
Zhao Yu activated his mana and directly summoned thirty-six Wind Shadow Needles. As soon as the Wind Shadow Needles were released, they silently merged into the wind and flew towards the young silver-robed cultivator.
The cultivator's complexion drastically changed; hastily, he summoned a white Spiritual Shield to protect himself.
The thirty-six Wind Shadow Needles effortlessly penetrated the protective barrier of the white Spiritual Shield, but the shield managed to block the needles one by one.
However, seven Wind Shadow Needles silently penetrated the second-order celestial crane beneath the silver-robed cultivator and shot out from its skull.
With a pitiful screech, the second-order celestial crane plummeted from the sky.
The silver-robed cultivator quickly cast a spell to stabilize himself and, with a round flying spirit artifact, screamed in terror, "My great-uncle is an elder of the Hundred Beasts Sect that passes down teachings. If you dare kill me! My great-uncle will never let you off!!"
The White Ghost Emperor grinned savagely, his claw latching onto the silver-robed cultivator's white Spiritual Shield. The pitch-black ghost energy instantly contaminated the shield, tearing it apart, and with a twist of his claw, he ripped off the cultivator's head.
Zhao Yu waved his hand, and the four Wind Shadow Needles suddenly pierced through the skull of the second-order Break Illusion Night Raven.
The White Ghost Emperor devoured the silver-robed cultivator's soul in one bite, casually plucked his storage bag, and then landed beside Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu grabbed the White Ghost Emperor and, using the Earth Escape Technique, instantly merged into the ground.
The next moment, Zhao Yu emerged like a ghost from the ground in front of the flesh-covered elder.
Grinning savagely, the White Ghost Emperor's eyes revealed pitch-black Curse Seals, unleashing the Illusory Ghost Eyes. Thick Ghost Fog surged and billowed, rising to the sky, sweeping toward the flesh-covered elder.
The elder's complexion changed drastically as he summoned two second-order superior Fiery Jiao Talismans.
The Fiery Jiao Talismans glowed with brilliant flames, and two fire jiaos materialized, plunging into the Ghost Fog, colliding with it and burning at large swaths of the Ghost Fog to ashes.
The elder exhaled a breath of relief: "As expected, fire counters evil spirits!"
```
A claw very abruptly pierced through the chest of the lump-ridden elder, extracting his heart, and behind the elder, the dreadful, horrendous smile of the White Ghost Emperor was revealed.
The White Ghost Emperor devoured the elder's soul in one gulp and, taking his storage bag, landed beside Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu once again employed the Earth Escape Technique, instantly merging into the ground.
In a few breaths' time, Zhao Yu emerged from underground with the White Ghost Emperor, blocking the path of Yi Wanqing's escape.
"Sect Master Zhao, I was forced by them! I know I was wrong, please, spare my life! As long as you let me live, I am willing to do anything for you. Even if you sell me to the slave market, I am willing! Please, have mercy and let me live!"
Yi Wanqing's complexion turned pale as she fell from the sky to the ground, repeatedly kowtowing and begging desperately. She was willing to do anything to survive.
Zhao Yu said, "Oh? You are willing to do anything?"
All men are of the same ilk. He was just a bit more powerful, that's all!
Yi Wanqing relaxed slightly, a hint of contempt flickering through her eyes. She had escaped certain death several times using this tactic and had killed men who lusted after her body, ultimately cultivating all the way to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
The wind suddenly picked up, and a Wind Shadow Needle silently pierced through Yi Wanqing's forehead; she blinked in mild surprise, then fell to the ground without a sound.
With a wave of Zhao Yu's hand, a Wind Shadow Needle returned to him, and only then did he indifferently say, "But I don't trust you at all!"
Taking advantage of the moment, the White Ghost Emperor devoured Yi Wanqing's soul and took her storage bag as well.
Zhao Yu skimmed through the memories of the six Great Foundation Building cultivators, a flicker of surprise crossing his eyes: "That silver-robed lad is actually the beloved nephew of the Law Transmission Elder of the Beast Taming Sect."
The silver-robed youth was a True Disciple of the Beast Taming Sect and also the beloved nephew of the Sect's Law Transmission Elder. Possessing a superior Spirit Root, he had been cultivating under the Law Transmission Elder from a young age.
He was cultivating the Sect-protecting Cultivation Technique, Spirit Beast Prime Spirit Scripture, which allowed him to command four Second-Order Spirit Beasts even as a fourth-layer Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Those four Second-Order Spirit Beasts, along with the silver-robed youth himself, could even contend with a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. He had nearly been killed by the Hundred Beasts Sect Master after seducing one of his concubines and being discovered.
The Law Transmission Elder paid a huge price to save his only cultivable nephew, who was then expelled from the sect.
However, the Law Transmission Elder still held great affection for his nephew, and they kept in close contact in private. If he were to learn that his nephew has been killed, he would definitely seek vengeance.
Zhao Yu's lips curled slightly, revealing a hint of a smile: "The Spirit Beast Prime Spirit Scripture is mine! Too bad, this cultivation method only goes up to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment Stage. I didn't get portions for the Golden Core or the Nascent Soul!"
Under the power of the devoured Dao Fruit, the memories of the cultivators absorbed by the White Ghost Emperor could be casually browsed by Zhao Yu. Whatever divine techniques or wondrous methods they had learned would be acquired by Zhao Yu.
Even though Zhao Yu's foundation lay in the Mountain Sutra, and the Spirit Beast Prime Spirit Scripture was equally exquisite, he would not practice it. However, the Spirit Beast Prime Spirit Scripture could still enhance his own capital, adding another treasure to his collection of techniques.
"The Beast Taming Art of the Beast Taming Sect is indeed the best in the Northern Desolation! The Beast Spirit Pact Secret Technique is quite similar to the Human-Ghost Pact Secret Technique. Using the Beast Spirit Pact Secret Technique, one can command a Spirit Beast and allow it to grow together with its master through the Spirit Beast Prime Spirit Scripture, forming a very close relationship,"
"Once a Beast Spirit Contract is implemented and if the Spirit Beast dies in battle, the master will be greatly injured. However, if the nurtured Spirit Beast breaks through a Great Realm first, the master can gain immense benefits, increasing the chances of a breakthrough in their Great Realm.
The Beast Spirit Pact Secret Technique is similar to the Human-Ghost Pact Secret Technique; maybe I can cultivate a powerful Spirit Beast!" Stay connected through empire
As Zhao Yu perused the various secret techniques and cultivation methods mastered by the silver-robed cultivator, his eyes suddenly brightened, spotting a rather good secret technique.
