Three Sins Against Heaven-Chapter 74 – Mountain Lord Changes Position

John Wei sneered, taking out a crimson gourd from his storage bag. He pulled out the stopper, and flames burst out like a solid entity, instantly dispersing the cold air and engulfing Ghost Guest in a sea of fire.

"You think you're the only one with a trump card? I've been refining this Fire Swallowing Gourd for a long time. Your Ice Spirit Pill is nothing to me."

However, John Wei's smugness didn't last long before the sea of fire was completely extinguished. Tiny ice crystals swirled around Ghost Guest, forming a protective armor. The cold air alone froze the ground beneath John Wei's feet.

John Wei's face changed drastically as he saw the yellow talisman paper burning slowly in front of Ghost Guest.

This was a talisman inscribed with a spell, and Ghost Guest had used a Frost Armor inscribed by a sixth-level Qi Refinement cultivator. It had strong defensive capabilities and greatly restrained his flames.

Such talisman paper sold for five hundred Spirit Stones at the Spirit Treasure Platform, and hardly anyone was willing to buy it. He never expected Ghost Guest to prepare so much just to deal with him.

In John Wei's shocked gaze, Ghost Guest took out another talisman paper. After injecting spiritual energy, the talisman paper ignited, and the rampant cold air turned into solid ice crystals, extinguishing the flames on John Wei's body.

Frost Purge, like Frost Armor, was inscribed by the same cultivator. When used together with Frost Armor, it could restrain any fire-specialized cultivator below the fifth level of Qi Refinement until the talisman paper burned out.

"Seal!" Ghost Guest ignited another talisman paper, and several ice walls appeared around John Wei without warning, trapping him. The cold air penetrated his bones, and within a few breaths, John Wei's limbs were completely stiff.

Taking advantage of the stagnation of spiritual energy in John Wei's body, Ghost Guest summoned green vines that grew out from within the ice walls, piercing John Wei's limbs and continuously injecting toxins. John Wei's face quickly turned blue, losing all strength to resist.

Ghost Guest stood still, using the vines to continue corroding John Wei's body, showing no intention of approaching.

In the past, he would have thought he had already won, but after the incident with the Law Enforcement Hall, he would never underestimate any opponent. A cultivator's final struggle before death was often the fiercest.

"Damn it!" John Wei roared, pushing his spiritual energy to the limit. Intense flames burst out, turning the green vines to ash, but he had no way to deal with the surrounding ice walls.

He had feigned weakness to make Ghost Guest lower his guard and come closer, so he could unleash his remaining spiritual energy and capture Ghost Guest. But Ghost Guest didn't fall for it.

Ghost Guest attacked John Wei with green vines again, but they quickly turned to ash. He had anticipated this result; his goal was to deplete John Wei's spiritual energy.

John Wei had no choice but to take a Rejuvenation Pill. He had to hold out until the talisman paper burned out to counterattack.

Ghost Guest directly took out a handful of Rejuvenation Pills and swallowed them like beans, his eyes full of mockery.

Both had revealed their trump cards, and it was now a matter of who could last longer.

John Wei's storage bag might contain many pills, but no matter what, it wouldn't have more than Ghost Guest, who was a pill refiner.

Ghost Guest spread his spiritual sense fully, carefully observing John Wei's condition. With the second slot of the Extinct Spirit Seed activated, his spiritual sense had grown daily. Although his cultivation was only at the third level of Qi Refinement, his spiritual sense far exceeded John Wei's.

As the toxins continued to invade, John Wei's aura weakened rapidly. His face turned ashen, his lips pale, and he looked like he could no longer hold on.

However, he still persisted. As long as the talisman paper burned out, with his cultivation, he could instantly subdue Ghost Guest.

Ghost Guest's eyes were full of mockery. He knew John Wei's thoughts well. In John Wei's desperate gaze, he took out a fourth talisman paper.

"Frost Spikes!"

Inside the ice walls, crisscrossing ice spikes broke through the ground, piercing John Wei's body.

John Wei let out a miserable scream, his body collapsing completely. With the piercing from all directions, his Qi Sea was shattered, leaving him unable to use even a trace of spiritual energy, let alone resist.

"Do you think my Spirit Stones are easy to take?" Ghost Guest dissolved the ice walls, took out a flying sword from his storage bag, and with a flash, decapitated John Wei.

Ghost Guest picked up John Wei's head and threw it in front of Jiang He.

Jiang He was stunned upon seeing John Wei's head. Although it was only for a brief moment, it was enough for Douglas Situ and the others to seize the opportunity and strike, causing him to spit blood.

Even though he was close to the sixth level of Qi Refinement, he hadn't broken through yet. Under the combined attack of four people, he was already at a disadvantage. This moment of distraction only hastened his death.

Ghost Guest glanced at Jiang He indifferently, and vines rose under his feet, carrying him towards the other cultivators.

This kind of battle was not something he could participate in. His targets were those cultivators with similar cultivation levels to his own, some of whom had once shared drinks with him and affectionately called him junior brother.

But now, standing on opposite sides, he couldn't afford to show mercy.

Under the four-person assault, Jiang He's aura gradually weakened. Douglas Situ seized the opportunity, summoned his flying sword, and slit Jiang He's throat.

Jiang He clutched his bleeding throat, unwillingly falling to the ground.

Douglas Situ decapitated Jiang He and held his head aloft, flying up with his sword.

"Jiang He is dead. Surrender and you will not be killed!"

Instantly, the entire Dusk Mountain fell silent.

After a moment of silence, all the cultivators chose to stop fighting. In terms of overall strength, even with Brian Qin and Robert Zhou joining, Jiang He's side still had the advantage. But with Jiang He's death, the fighting had lost its meaning.

"Ghost Guest of Dusk Mountain, greets the Mountain Lord!" Ghost Guest was the first to clasp his fists in salute.

After a moment of hesitation, the other cultivators followed suit, clasping their fists and saluting, "Greetings, Mountain Lord!"

Douglas Situ casually threw Jiang He's head to the ground and smiled slightly.

"At ease."
