This ghost is none other than Mr. Ghost in disguise.
His face was pale, his hair was snow-white, and his eyes shone with an eerie light.
"This...this is the highest level of demonic arts, the Demon Soul state?!"
The Azure Dragon standing to the side was utterly shocked.
He didn't expect that Mr. Ghost would use the highest level of Ghostly Arts as soon as he made a move.
This shows that Mr. Ghost was quite wary of Li Yao.
Perhaps only in this way can we hold off Li Yao and buy the Ghost King more time to escape.
"Prepare to die!"
Mr. Ghost's face was ferocious, and his huge demonic claw reached forward, grabbing directly at Li Yao.
This grab contains countless sinister and ghostly energies; once caught, one's soul may be scattered on the spot.
Chapter 368 The Biggest Winner
"That's interesting!"
Seeing Mr. Ghost transform into a floating ghost in an instant, Li Yao's face lit up with excitement.
As expected of Mr. Ghost, his strength is indeed extraordinary.
Just as Mr. Ghost extended his enormous demonic claw, the Azure Dragon beside him also made his move.
The Azure Dragon emitted a brilliant azure light, raised its head high towards the sky, and a Qiankun Qingguang Ring on its hand condensed a dazzling azure light.
The next moment, he suddenly threw a punch at Li Yao.
A powerful azure fist-shaped beam shot out from the sky, hurtling towards Li Yao at unparalleled speed.
Li Yao remained calm, and with a flick of his wrist, the Overlord Divine Spear thrust out. A burst of dark blue light erupted, and an enormous net of light bearing the Wuji pattern instantly appeared.
The moment the dark, demonic claws touched the light net, they emitted a series of sizzling sounds, as if countless vengeful ghosts were being deep-fried, emitting mournful howls.
At the same time, the Azure Dragon's azure fist strikes the light net, but with a 'hum', it creates a ripple on the light net, and the sharp fist strike immediately disappears without a trace.
"Such powerful cultivation!"
Mr. Ghost trembled violently, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
Although he had long anticipated that Li Yao's cultivation was profound, he did not expect that even with the highest level of his Ghost Dao technique and the assistance of Qinglong's Qiankun Qingguang Ring, he still could not shake Li Yao.
Just how deep is Li Yao's cultivation level?
In order to buy the Ghost King more time to escape, Mr. Ghost had no choice but to do his best to delay Li Yao.
So he pushed his magic power to its limit, and a surge of immense ghostly power erupted forth.
The ghost he transformed into suddenly doubled in size, the surrounding black energy surged and churned endlessly, and the thick ghostly aura soared into the sky, enveloping the entire world.
He opened his mouth wide and suddenly spat out a stream of black flames that seemed capable of incinerating everything, which swept out and rushed towards Li Yao.
At the same time, Qinglong pushed his magic power to the limit, and a brighter beam of azure light erupted from the Qiankun Qingguang Ring, shooting towards Li Yao.
boom!
A loud bang.
The net of light bearing the Wuji pattern was instantly destroyed by the combined attack of the black flames that incinerated everything and the pillar of azure light.
"It's done!"
Mr. Ghost and Qinglong exchanged a glance, overjoyed.
They never expected that they would destroy Li Yao's optical network.
Unfortunately, they were too happy too soon.
Although Li Yao's net of light was broken, his divine spear had already shot out and instantly pierced the ghost floating in mid-air.
With a loud bang, the ghost was instantly blasted apart, and the surrounding dark ghostly energy was also instantly dispersed.
Mr. Ghost's true form immediately fell straight to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of black blood, and died on the spot.
"Mr. Ghost!"
The Azure Dragon roared.
"Don't rush, you're next!"
Li Yao smiled faintly, and at the same time, he lightly struck out with his palm. An enormous palm print, as if blotting out the sky, pressed down on the Azure Dragon's might.
The Azure Dragon was terrified and immediately turned and ran.
Unfortunately, his escape speed was nowhere near the speed of the palm strike.
Soon, he was struck by the huge palm print, and his body was torn to pieces in mid-air.
Li Yao reached out and grabbed the Qiankun Qingguang Ring on Qinglong's finger. It was attracted by a powerful suction force and quickly fell into Li Yao's hand, then stored in his spatial storage.
Then, he reached out and grabbed the blood jade bone fragment that had fallen to the ground.
Finally, he picked up the attribute orbs dropped by Mr. Ghost and Azure Dragon.

Demonic Arts *1!
...
Having dealt with Mr. Ghost and the Azure Dragon, Li Yao calmly chased after the direction in which the Ghost King had fled.
He soon caught up with Tian Buyi and Su Ru.
Seeing the couple's dejected expressions, he guessed that they had not caught up with the Ghost King and the other two.
After questioning, Li Yao learned that the Ghost King had already arranged an escape route.
After finally catching up with the Ghost King and the other two, Tian Buyi and his wife discovered that the three were actually members of another demonic sect in disguise.
In other words, the real Ghost King and the other two have used the "golden cicada shedding its shell" trick and escaped.
Now that the Ghost King has escaped, he will surely lie low and not show himself easily.
It seems the Demonic Sect's days are not yet over!
Li Yao was quite satisfied with this outcome.
Everything is developing in the direction he envisioned.
Li Yao and his wife Tian Buyi returned to Qingyun Mountain and found that all the members of the Demonic Sect had been wiped out.
This time, the Demonic Sect's attack on the Qingyun Sect was almost completely annihilated.
Moreover, the four major clans of the Demonic Sect mobilized all the elites they could muster in order to attack the Qingyun Sect and wipe it out in one fell swoop.
Unfortunately, Li Yao's appearance not only caused the Demonic Sect to suffer a crushing defeat, but also resulted in the annihilation of all its elite members.
After this battle, apart from the Ghost King Sect, the other three major sects of the Demonic Cult will probably never be able to rise again.
In fact, besides the Demonic Sect, the Qingyun Sect also suffered heavy losses this time.
In this catastrophe, Dao Xuan, the head of the Qingyun Sect, was seriously injured and his cultivation was greatly reduced. It is likely that he will not be able to recover for a long time.
Besides Dao Xuan, two other leaders of the Qingyun Sect also died in battle.
Moreover, a large number of younger disciples also perished in this catastrophe.
Most importantly, the Zhuxian Sword, the most treasured artifact of the Qingyun Sect, was also lost in this catastrophe.
Of course, this matter is of great importance, and Dao Xuan has already issued a gag order to Xiao Yicai, Song Daren, and Lu Xueqi, forbidding them from speaking out about it, so as to prevent Qingyun Sect from suffering another catastrophe.
The fact that Qingyun Sect stands firmly on the righteous path deters many evil people from easily invading, and the Zhuxian Sword has a tremendous deterrent effect.
If other sects learn that Qingyun Sect has lost the Zhuxian Sword, it will likely be detrimental to Qingyun Sect.
The Qingyun Sect, already severely damaged, could not withstand any more turmoil.
The biggest beneficiary of this catastrophe was none other than Li Yao.
Li Yao not only took the opportunity to collect a large number of attribute orbs, but also obtained various peerless magical treasures, especially the Immortal Execution Sword.
Furthermore, during this catastrophe, he successfully made the Peerless Sect famous, letting everyone know of its existence and its power.
Moreover, his disciples Zhang Xiaofan, Lin Jingyu, and Wang Ke'er also grew during this catastrophe, gaining a wealth of practical experience and valuable connections.
Now that both the Demonic Sect and the Qingyun Sect have been severely weakened, the Peerless Sect he founded is bound to become the most influential sect.
This time, Li Yao extended a helping hand to the Qingyun Sect, and everyone in the sect was extremely grateful to him, regarding him as a great benefactor.
They never imagined that Li Yao would be the biggest winner in this catastrophe.
Chapter 369 Mountain-Protecting Array
After the battle at Qingyun Sect, the sect suffered heavy losses.
Fortunately, Li Yao intervened, and the Qingyun Sect was not destroyed by the Demonic Sect.
Originally, Dao Xuan wanted to warmly welcome Li Yao and his three disciples to thank them for saving his life.
However, Li Yao had no intention of lingering at Qingyun Sect.
At this time, Qingyun Sect also needed to do its best to restore normal order, and its affairs were extremely busy.
Therefore, Dao Xuan did not try to keep him any longer, but personally escorted Li Yao out of the Qingyun Sect's mountain gate.
Afterwards, Li Yao led Zhang Xiaofan and the other two directly back to Wushuang Mountain.
Wushuang Mountain is not far from Qingyun Mountain, so they quickly returned to Wushuang Mountain.
