Trembling At A High Altitude

Li Bai suggested that Bald Qiang also expend some Magical Treasures so they could figure out a way to clear the Eighth Revolution together.

But Bald Qiang refused, indicating he had no Magical Treasures to expend.

Having no choice, Li Bai could only continue to use up his own carried Magical Treasures.

In the eyes of others, this revolution was simply impossible to clear.

Unexpectedly, two hours later, it was still breached by Li Bai.

Of course, Bald Qiang had also put in a lot of effort.

The other five people... during this revolution, they couldn't be of much help, and could only, like Li Teng, cheer on Li Bai and Bald Qiang from the sidelines.

Ten minutes later, the Ghost King resurrected from the Mist Egg, transforming into the Ninth Revolution form.

This time, it donned the Ghost King Armor and wielded the Ghost King War Saber in its hands.

In addition, it summoned ten Ghost Generals.

This time the Ghost King did not use invisibility but, clad in sturdy armor, led its troops into battle personally.

And that wasn't all.

The charge-up for the Ghost Blade Slash Ougi of the Ghost King had reached the Transformative Realm, evolving into the Hell Roaring ultimate skill.

Just like the former, it was a skill requiring a charge-up, and with the same charging time, its power reached nearly a hundred times that of the Ghost Blade Slash Ougi!

That's why it was called an ultimate skill!

The attack range had also greatly expanded—besides the invincible blade, within about three meters radius of the path of the blade was potent Sword Qi, and anything contaminated with it would suffer damage at fifty percent or below of the blade's, with closer proximity to the blade resulting in higher damage.

This could almost be described as an area of effect Attack Skill, and if the Ghost King managed to charge up for more than ten seconds and hit with the powerful blade, both Li Bai and Bald Qiang would have no chance of survival, with their bodies instantly cleaved without suspense.

The longer the charge-up time, the greater the power, with no upper limit.

Finally, Li Bai unleashed his ultimate move.

A blood-red longsword.

From his conversation with Bald Qiang, it was known that the longsword had been refined with a Thousand-Year Jiaolong.

Therefore, it wasn't just a Magical Treasure but an immensely powerful Spiritual Treasure.

To ensure Bald Qiang would give his all, Li Bai promised that after the battle, Bald Qiang would have first pick of an item from the loot.

After every revolution, a treasure of immensely superior quality would emerge, its value accounting for over seventy percent of all the loot.

Therefore, this condition was very tempting to Bald Qiang.

Even though Li Bai had the Spiritual Treasure in hand, it was still an incredibly arduous battle.

It lasted for more than five hours.

In the end, Li Bai detonated the longsword Spiritual Treasure, blowing open the Ghost King's Battle Armor. Gritting his teeth, Bald Qiang took out a treasured possession from the bottom of his box, a premium Magical Treasure, an inconspicuous looking bead, threw it into the Ghost King's Battle Armor, and uttered a Spell to detonate it.

In the final moment, the Ghost King unleashed a 'Hell's Roar' charged slash at Li Bai.

'Boom!' A loud explosion.

The battle ended.

Li Bai, with his body a bloody mess, was thrown out.

Bald Qiang was also thrown out, but unscathed.

He also acquired his share of the spoils, a large jar of Hellfire Bombs, with at least a hundred in number.

The Ghost King once again transformed into a mist ball.

After ten minutes, the final showdown would begin.

The Tenth Revolution Battle.

After being helped up by Xiang Yu and Han Xin, Li Bai took several elixirs in succession and then sat down to begin refining them in order to heal himself.

Bald Qiang also sat down, swallowed an elixir, and closed his eyes to recover his inner strength.

Just then, everyone's wrists started vibrating continuously.

Li Teng hurriedly checked...

The protection period was over!

Apart from Li Bai, who was severely injured, everyone on the scene looked around at the others, a wary look in their eyes.

After a moment, Bald Qiang stood up and walked over to the trio of Li Bai.

Xiang Yu and Han Xin looked terrified, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Li Bai, the difficulty of the tenth revolution is at least twice as high as the ninth. You are already spent; it's impossible for you to get through the tenth revolution," Bald Qiang said, stopping two meters in front of Li Bai.

"How would you know if you don't try?" Li Bai responded without opening his eyes.

"You must tell me now what your trump card is for clearing the tenth revolution, otherwise, I won't join you in a futile effort, doing something that simply can't be done," Bald Qiang pressed Li Bai.

"Will, belief," Li Bai replied to Bald Qiang.

"Hahahahahahaha..." Bald Qiang burst into laughter.

"Your hundred Hellfire Bombs could come very useful; that's also part of my plan," Li Bai spoke again.

"It's useless. Hellfire Bombs do limited damage to the Ghost King. It's not like nobody has tried before. These Hellfire Bombs can't clear the level; you must tell me what your trump card is, or I won't cooperate with you anymore. You probably received the message too, the protection period is over. Rather than face a Ghost King that can't be defeated, I'd rather take this opportunity to kill you and get the 5,700 points reward from the guild," Bald Qiang said, his gaze intensely fixed on Li Bai.

Bald Qiang's eyes burned with passion.

With 5,700 points, he could bring back two family members and three closest friends, the same belief that had always sustained him in Film and Television City.

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for him to kill Li Bai.

But now, it seemed, Li Bai really was at the end of his tether.

"I've told you my trump card is will and belief," Li Bai said to Bald Qiang.

"You two, please step aside," Bald Qiang's tone turned icy as he spoke to Xiang Yu and Han Xin.

Fear showed in their eyes, but they did not move away.

"You'd better leave, the farther the better. My showdown with him is inevitable," Li Bai stood up, opened his eyes, and looked at Bald Qiang.

"Why bother? The Ghost King will wake up soon; why not work together..." Xiang Yu began to persuade him.

"Another word and I won't spare a single one of you!" Bald Qiang's killing intent was chilling.

"Let's go," Li Bai pushed them away.

Xiang Yu and Han Xin had no choice but to step aside, though they didn't go far and continued to watch from the periphery.

As soon as they moved away, the battle between Li Bai and Bald Qiang began.

What was expected to be a fierce fight surprised everyone.

The two appeared to be only sparring, one wielding a sword, the other a hammer.

However, after just three moves, Li Bai was hammered in the chest by Bald Qiang and sent flying backward, lying on the ground for a long time, unable to stand up.

From the look on Bald Qiang's face, he also couldn't believe this outcome.

Could Li Bai be feigning defeat?

Being hunted for a reward exceeding 5,700 points by Bald Qiang's guild, an amount sufficient to rebuild a guild's funds, one could imagine Li Bai's tremendous strength and terror.

Just lying down like that?
