Holding the Raging Sea Heavenly Nether Holy Sword in one hand, he placed the chillingly gleaming blade horizontally between the two of them.

"Speak, how do you two want to die?"

The Nether Earth Ghost King and Bright Candle Ghost King’s expressions drastically changed.

Forcefully suppressing the fear in their hearts, they teleported backward, opening up a distance of about ten meters from Alex.

The Bright Candle Ghost King’s small face was deathly pale, her big watery eyes full of panic and helplessness.

After adjusting for a long while, unable to make herself feign a calm appearance, she used a mental transmission technique to say. "Old Man Nether Earth, I feel a bit out of breath. Is this the feeling of despair?"

"Ah, this old man feels the same." The Nether Earth Ghost King nodded, saying bitterly.

"It seems this old man misjudged the situation. Resulting in the deaths of Heavenly Fiend and Thunder, dragging our Four Great Ghost Kings into perilous danger."

"You damn old man, what is the use of saying this now?!" The Bright Candle Ghost King gritted her teeth, continuing her mental transmission.

"The way I see it, if you and I want to survive today, there is only one method."

"Heavenly Fiend has already been cleaved to death by a single sword strike, so his Heavenly Fiend God-Imprisoning Formation has naturally been undone. In a moment, we will simultaneously execute our strongest killing moves, feigning an attack on Alex."

"Then, the moment he moves to defend, we immediately flee. As long as we escape back to the Hundred Ghost Mountain Range, we will be temporarily safe!"

The Nether Earth Ghost King nodded slightly. "Good, let us do that."

Alex waited somewhat impatiently. "Have you two finished discussing? Can you use some interesting moves? I am about to fall asleep waiting."

"Heh, this next strike will guarantee your satisfaction!" The Bright Candle Ghost King sneered coldly, condensing a cluster of fire candles in her palm.

It then transformed into a spear thick with ghost fire. With a furious shout, she charged at Alex with all her might.

Beside her, the Nether Earth Ghost King also transformed the bone scepter in his hand into a sharp bone blade.

Charging together with the Bright Candle Ghost King, both teleported to appear before Alex, violently blasting out their attacks brimming with ghost qi.

Facing their killing moves, Alex frowned slightly. He stabbed the Raging Sea Heavenly Nether Holy Sword into the ground, brought his arms together, and used the Wood Leaf Spirit Shield to defend.

It was not that he did not trust the defensive power of the Divine Wood Starry Sky Armor.

It was just that with such a good treasure, if it accidentally got damaged or dirty, how heartbroken would he be?

Seeing Alex indeed circulate his energy to defend, the Bright Candle Ghost King revealed a look of joy. "It succeeded! Old Man Nether Earth, without further delay, let us quickly retreat!"

She did not hesitate at all, directly turning her head and running.

At this moment, she no longer had any greed or desire for the Nether Earth Soul Chase technique.

In her heart, there was only the rejoicing of surviving a great disaster and the joy of escaping death.

She excitedly gathered her full strength, preparing to flee. However, she had only fled a few steps when she slammed headfirst into a hard object, crashing so hard that stars spun in her eyes. She slumped on the ground in a daze.

Snapping back to her senses, she discovered that the path ahead was blocked by an invisible light curtain of ghost qi.

"This... what is going on? Was the Heavenly Fiend God-Imprisoning Formation not already undone?"

Panic struck her heart, and she abruptly turned to glare at the Nether Earth Ghost King behind her. "Nether Earth Ghost King, what the hell are you doing?!"

But the next second, her innocent, flawless eyes revealed deep terror.

The Nether Earth Ghost King’s speed was a notch slower than hers, and he had been left behind.

Originally, she was still secretly rejoicing that with this old man bringing up the rear, her escape had an extra layer of guarantee.

But at this moment, the Nether Earth Ghost King behind her was not fleeing a single step.

As seething black mist drifted out, his elderly body directly transformed into powder, scattering into nothingness with the wind.

"A clone?!"

Her pupils abruptly shrank, and she fiercely turned her head to look.

She saw that outside the light curtain, the Nether Earth Ghost King’s true body was already standing on a distant cliff, he merely glanced back at her, not daring to stay a moment longer. Condensing a dark cloud with ghost qi, he fled in panic for his life.

"Old Man Nether Earth, you bastard! You actually made me cannon fodder to buy time for your escape!" She flew into a rage, yelling and screaming.

"Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you off!"

"Are you not already a ghost?"

Just as the Bright Candle Ghost King was exasperated and furious, a teasing laugh came from behind her.

It was Alex. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Having absorbed the attack, he unhurriedly walked toward her. "What, did I scare you so silly that you even forgot what you are? Or is it that you clearly wanted to scheme against your companion, but ended up being abandoned instead, making you unable to accept this cruel reality?"

"Alex, do not be too arrogant!" Forcefully suppressing her terror, she screamed hoarsely.

"Even if I cannot kill you, I will definitely make you pay the price!"

"Scorching Soul Burning Heavens!"

The Bright Candle Ghost King was seen directly crushing the candlestick in her hands with her small, fair hands.

After it shattered, that wisp of profound blue flame fell into her palm.

However, she did not use this cluster of ghost fire to attack Alex. Instead, she opened her mouth without hesitation and swallowed the ghost fire whole.

After swallowing the ghost fire, profound blue flames instantly ignited all over the Bright Candle Ghost King’s body. Even her big, watery eyes burned with raging fire.
