Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 1096 - 1092: Little Clever Ghost

The sword and spear clashed once more with a loud crash, yet the sound was much weaker than before, not because either of them held back their strength.

Both had unleashed their divine skills, their colliding forces tightly confined to a mere inch, not a trace escaping.

The Undead Knight thrust his long spear, blood-red light flickering at its tip, a murderous aura ascending to the skies with unstoppable momentum.

The aura felt almost tangible, carrying the battlefield’s cold and violent essence, bodies piled, blood seas surging; before the spear even reached, everyone’s skin prickled with a stinging sensation, their spirits locked in the grip of murderous intent, as if their souls would scatter in the next second.

If ordinary people were present, they’d likely be overwhelmed by this aura, faltering before even facing battle, unable to muster thoughts of resistance.

But Shen Siyuan and the three little ones were certainly not ordinary people.

Since cultivating the "Sun Observation Method", Shen Siyuan’s spirit had become as concentrated as a blazing sun, hanging high in the sea of consciousness, untainted as long as the sun shone.

Such manifested murderous aura was to him but a breeze, not even causing a ripple.

Though the three little ones didn’t have Shen Siyuan’s stable spirit, they each had protective treasures, unfazed by the aura.

Duoduo opened the Qiankun Umbrella, its red and black interwoven canopy forming a world of its own, causing chaotic, murderous intent to turn into a tranquil, pure land beneath the umbrella.

The Lotus Lamp above Dou Dou’s head suddenly brightened, pouring down countless golden rays, fully exhibiting the Buddhist treasure’s majesty.

The chanting of Buddha echoing from the lamp’s wick enveloped her in gentle golden light, not only resisting invasive murderous intent but also with a miraculous calming effect on the divine soul, her little face filled with excitement, not a trace of fear.

Xiao Yue gently shook the Three Pure Ones Bell, its crisp ringing piercing through the murderous aura, like a breeze sweeping through treetops on an autumn night, like the sound of cicadas on a summer night, or as if someone was whispering scriptures in her ear, narrating the paths of the Dao...

Where the bell’s sound reached, the cold, murderous intent dissipated, her spirit steadied by the bell’s protection, unshakable as a boulder.

Though these words are lengthy, it happened in the blink of an eye.

Shen Siyuan and the Undead Knight had already exchanged blows over a hundred times, their sword and spear shadows intertwined, blood glow colliding with the sword glow, yet not a sound leaked out, only an increasing concentration of energy waves filled the air.

The Undead Knight was evidently a martial arts master with vast combat experience, his spear skills remarkably clever, each thrust powerful, carrying a world-destroying force, blood glow filling the sky, as if to stain the Netherworld crimson.

Shen Siyuan, though unfamiliar with martial arts, had pushed the mysteries of the Five Elements Primordial Magnetic Sword to their limits.

This divine sword was no ordinary weapon; it was forged by his spirit, will, and divine sense, merging the powers of the Five Elements and the Earth Mother’s Primordial Magnetism into his lifebound divine sword.

Rather than saying it’s a weapon, it’s better described as an extension of Shen Siyuan’s body, a manifestation of his life and will.

The heart moves as the mind commands, the sword follows his movement.

No matter how fast the Undead Knight’s spear thrusts were, they couldn’t surpass Shen Siyuan’s lightning-quick mind.

He could always precisely block the opponent’s attacks in the nick of time, the Five Elements Primordial Magnetic Sword, as if alive, danced agilely in his hand, dissolving the opponent’s spear momentum one by one.

After over a hundred collisions, the Undead Knight had suffered a substantial loss.

Shen Siyuan’s Five Elements Primordial Magnetic Sword wasn’t only incisively sharp but also contained potent magnetic and thunder forces.

With every clash, not only could it cut through the spear tip’s blood glow, but wisps of magnetic power would invade along the spear, constantly disrupting his control over it.

The Undead Knight felt his spear growing heavier as if an invisible force was competing against him, the spear body unresponsive, his once concentrated martial arts will turning scattered.

He was secretly shocked, realizing he would inevitably be defeated if this continued.

"It can’t go on like this."

The Undead Knight’s thought sparked, and the skeleton horse beneath him instantly turned into a mass of ghostly light.

The spear, man, and horse merged into one, transforming into an exceptionally condensed spear, black light surging around him, reaching an extreme speed, forming a massive Mach ring behind him.

The omnipresent Yin Wind of the Netherworld passed through his skeletal body, emitting a sharp ghostly wail, accompanied by the thunder of wind pressure, shaking the entire world.

This was no exaggerated description but a concrete phenomenon, the dark Netherworld land plowed into a massive trench by his aura, the compressed Yin Wind exploding like firecrackers, deafening shock waves echoing, as if tearing the space apart.

Faced with this world-destroying strike, Shen Siyuan’s expression tightened, not daring to be careless.

His Five Elements Primordial Magnetic Sword in hand drew a slow circle in the air, the Five Elements power flowing on the sword, arousing the deeply buried Earth Mother’s Primordial Magnetism.

Instantly, the surrounding air grew viscous, rippling like water waves towards space, forming an invisible force field. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

This was not a defense but an energy buildup.

Shen Siyuan knew well that defense was always the weakest strategy; only by advancing with greater strength against the opponent could he truly block this charged strike.

But just at this critical moment, a crisp, delicate shout suddenly came from behind: "You scoundrel, see the might of General Dou!"

Dou Dou, waving her bronze double hammer, riding the Yin Wind, her little face tense, with a look of facing death fearlessly, recklessly charged towards that black light.

"You little rascal~"

Shen Siyuan’s heart skipped a beat, surprised by the little one’s rashness.

But with another thought, he calmed down.

It might be good for her to learn a lesson, so she wouldn’t always think of herself as invincible, too full of herself.

As for danger, of course, there was, but no threat to life; the Ten Thousand Soul Banner was suspended high in the void, its surface flashing with Merit Golden Light, even if Dou Dou’s soul were scattered by this spear, it could restructure with a strand of true spirit from the banner, not harming the root.

Once he thought of this, Shen Siyuan didn’t intervene, just narrowed his eyes, enhancing the Five Elements Primordial Magnetic Sword’s glow, ready to assist at any moment.

Though Dou Dou charged recklessly, she wasn’t entirely foolish, the armor conjured by the Lotus Lamp wrapped her tightly, encircled by Buddha’s Light and blazing divine fire, she was enwrapped in brilliant light like a small sun, dazzling and unviewable directly.

"Watch my giant hammer~"

Dou Dou faced the opponent head-on.

The tiny double hammers in her hand, augmented by flame, became a pair of heaven-reaching giant hammers, crashing down upon the opponent.

"Heh~"

Amid the massive wind pressure, came a soft chuckle, clearly dismissing Dou Dou’s attack.

In the blink of an eye, the two collided.

Dou Dou’s apparently powerful strike deflated like a punctured balloon, all the radiant light exploding under the spear, akin to a splendid firework being set off, countless sparks falling from the sky.

Xiao Yue and Duoduo were startled, simultaneously looking at Shen Siyuan, their faces full of worry for Dou Dou.

Yet Shen Siyuan showed a slight smile, this little one truly was clever.
