Trembling At A High Altitude

The best treasure on the ranged evil ghost was picked up by Cui Hua.

It wasn't a magical treasure but a Ghost Fire Pill, which the evil ghost had condensed from itself and could be used to concoct very high-grade elixirs.

Up to now, both parties were still fair, each having obtained two decent treasures.

With no worries about the ranged evil ghosts anymore, Li Bai and Bald Qiang led their followers into the fray against the warrior evil ghosts. The two experts didn't give the warrior evil ghosts any chance to unleash their Secret Technique Slash, and after about fifteen minutes, they had ground down its battle armor and depleted its HP, slashing it to death in the swamp.

The warrior evil ghost's knife, which was its magical treasure,

was quickly snatched by the quick-eyed and deft-handed Li Bai and thrown into his storage space.

Bald Qiang cursed angrily.

A few minutes later, Li Teng's wrist device vibrated.

"Decryption success!"

"Life Resource Points gained: 41652."

"Basic Active Skill acquired: Ghost Blade LV14."

"..."

"Great Achievement of Ghost Blade Skill."

"..."

"Perfect Completion of Ghost Blade Skill."

"..."

"Ghost Blade Skill has reached the Transformative Realm, and the Secret Technique can now be comprehended."

"Comprehension of the Secret Technique: Charged Ghost Blade Slash LV1."

"..."

"Comprehension of the Secret Technique: Charged Ghost Blade Slash LV3."

"Condensation of Battle Armor: Nether Iron Battle Armor LV1."

"..."

"Condensation of Battle Armor: Nether Iron Battle Armor LV4."

Li Teng tried the secret technique and discovered he could start charging it up right away.

The Death God APP on the wristwatch even provided a progress bar specifically for tracking Li Teng's charging progress.

It was even possible to invest Life Resources to speed up this progress bar.

The higher the multiple of Life Resources invested, the faster the acceleration.

Of course, Li Teng wouldn't invest his Life Resources to speed this up; he'd rather let it charge slowly on its own and use it when needed with one decisive slash.

He had already tested the battle armor earlier. The Nether Iron Battle Armor LV4 was now many times stronger than when he had first achieved the Transformative Realm.

Li Teng estimated that, aside from Li Bai and Bald Qiang, he should now be capable of holding his own in a one-on-one duel with any of the other actors.

As for Li Bai and Bald Qiang, they still seemed unfathomable to Li Teng.

They hadn't yet used any magical treasures like the ones they had reserved, still killing evil ghosts with weapons, surely holding back a great deal.

However, Li Teng was now confident he could escape from their attacks.

With Instant Teleportation, life-draining abilities, extremely thick battle armor, and a plethora of miscellaneous skills at his disposal, escaping would likely be no easy task for anyone present if he fully intended to flee.

Only now did Li Teng start to feel a slight sense of self-preservation in this dangerous Scripted World.

What came next...

The protection period hadn't elapsed, so of course, he continued to hide his true strength.

He followed behind them, sponging off their benefits.

Xiang Yu was seriously injured, and even with Li Bai's miraculous ointment aiding his recovery, he couldn't join the fight right away.

But the others couldn't wait for him and had to press on.

Li Bai led the group across the marsh, continuing forward, climbing the tallest mountain before them.

"Li Bai, are you going to fight the Ten-Turned Ghost King?" Bald Qiang asked Li Bai.

"Mm," Li Bai did not deny it.

"So confident? I've heard that in the Film and Television City, the number of people who can defeat the Ten-Turned Ghost King doesn't exceed the tens." Bald Qiang seemed somewhat surprised.

"Alone I certainly can't, but there's still a long way to go until the protection period ends. With you, Bald Monk, accompanying me, there might be a chance," Li Bai said with a smile.

"Hmph! Will you give it your all? If you don't give it your all, do you expect me to?" Bald Qiang's expression was dark and uncertain.

"To challenge the Ten-Turned Ghost King, of course, I have to give it my all. If I can't defeat the Ten-Turned Ghost King, this scripted world will always be my Heart Demon, preventing my cultivation from advancing any further," Li Bai said, gazing towards the mountaintop.

Dense clouds covered the peak, thunder boomed, and lightning crackled, as if it was a separate world.

"You're mistaken, aren't you? The biggest boss in this scripted world isn't the Ten-Turned Ghost King but the Ghost Guys' Governor. So what if you defeat the Ten-Turned Ghost King? Isn't the Governor of the Ghost Guys your Heart Demon as well? Moreover, the Governor of the Ghost Guys hasn't been defeated for the first kill, while the first kill for the Ten-Turned Ghost King is already gone. It's a waste of time to focus on the Ten-Turned Ghost King," Bald Qiang stopped, seemingly unwilling to continue forward with Li Bai.

"Well then, let's part ways here, and may the best man win after the protection period ends," Li Bai was not insistent.

"Be it so! I'll just accompany you for a bit then. I want to see what makes you think you can challenge the Ten-Turned Ghost King," Bald Qiang changed his mind after rolling his eyes.

Li Bai no longer spoke and continued to swiftly climb up the mountain.

The others also did their best to keep up with his pace.

The group was blocked by three Evil Ghosts at a structure on the mountainside.

The sky above the building was shrouded in gloomy clouds. The place was originally a temple, but after being occupied by Evil Ghosts, it became a scene of desolate decay.

Among the three Evil Ghosts, two were warrior-type, identical to the Warrior Evil Ghost the group had encountered in the swamp.

The ranged one, holding a dark magic wand, occasionally raised both hands to summon Nether Lightning from the sky to attack the people on the ground. This Nether Lightning could strike individuals as well as groups.

Being hit also had a paralyzing effect.

Li Bai was prepared for this, as he brought out a dazzling Magical Treasure, shaped like an inverted umbrella with many handles, specifically for blocking the lightning in midair.

"Hehe, you've finally been forced to reveal a trump card," Bald Qiang remarked.

The Ranged Evil Ghost possessed another powerful skill, which allowed it to cast Soul Power to heal itself and its companions.

Therefore, the key to getting past this obstacle was to kill the Ranged Evil Ghost first before focusing their efforts on the two Warrior Evil Ghosts.

Xiang Yu's arm was injured, and it hadn't healed yet. He bound his broken arm to his body with a rope and joined the battle with one hand.

Apart from Li Bai and Bald Qiang, everyone else went to block the two Warrior Evil Ghosts, preventing them from protecting the Ranged Evil Ghost effectively.

Li Bai and Bald Qiang then focused all their efforts on the Ranged Evil Ghost.

The Lightning Defense Treasure above them, under the barrage of lightning strikes, grew dimmer and dimmer.

They had to make it a quick battle.

Li Bai brought out another Magical Treasure, a Sword Array, trapping the Ranged Evil Ghost inside.

Seeing that Li Bai had used both the Lightning Defense and the Sword Array, Bald Qiang sighed and reluctantly brought out a Golden Bowl. The bowl enlarged to several meters in diameter as he faced the wind. Instead of directly capturing the Ranged Mage, Bald Qiang leaped high into the air, his Big Hammer in hand also growing several times larger, forcefully striking the base of the Golden Bowl.

This big hammer, too, was a Magical Treasure.

Under the massive magical soundwave assault, the Ranged Evil Ghost shook violently. If it had been a living being, it probably would have shaken everything inside out.
