Chapter 445: Chapter 195: Subduing the Ghost General,

Lan Ke Black and White Chess_3

Luo Tianhong was stunned, the bewilderment in his eyes gradually replaced with brightness.

The next moment, he charged towards the second floor.

“Huh….”

A low gasp was heard as he stepped foot onto the second floor.

Dozens of ghost soldiers rushed towards him.

Luo Tianhong growled, instinctively exuding the posture of a superior being in

an attempt to suppress these low-order ghost creatures.

However, these ghost creatures had already been refined by the Soul-Refining

Flag.

They only obey Luo Chen.

Even if slightly intimidated, they merely hesitate for a moment before biting

him relentlessly.

Luo Tianhong was stunned, he didn’t expect that these low-order ghost creatures outright ignored his control.

“Uh….11

Lowering his head, he noticed a ghost soldier biting his thigh formed from condensed Yin Qi.

“Uh uh….”

With a pat of his palm, he easily shattered the ghost soldier.

But far away, that ghost soldier recongealed again.

Inside the Soul-Refining Flag, as long as the controller’s spirit power is

continuous, the ghost creatures exist indomitably!

In a flash, dozens of ghost creatures, undaunted by death, continuously charged at Luo Tianhong.

Deep roars resounded.

Under the dark curtain.

Luo Chen’s eyes flickered.

“Merely relying on these dozens of ghost soldiers is not enough!

His right hand flicked.

A chain shot out, embedding itself into Luo Tianhong’s shoulder blade.

“Not enough!”

“Still not enough!”

Chain after chain of Yin Qi burst forth.

Soon, Luo Tianhong was intricately entwined by nine enormous chains of Yin

Qi.

At this moment, taking a step was a struggle for him.

Even though he was surrounded and bitten by dozens of adversaries and bound

by nine huge chains, he unyieldingly stepped forward.

Guided by an inexplicable sense, step by step, he arrived outside a small house.

Creak creak….

The old and crumbling wooden door, with a screeching sound, slowly creaked

open.

It was at this moment, a pair of glowing green eyes suddenly fell upon him.

“The…”

“I apologize, but since I’ve already refined this sword pill, I’m afraid I can’t

return it to you.”

Luo Chen grinned, no hint of remorse on his face.

Not only that, he operated the Divine Intimidation Technique at full force.

This time, it was not the simple use of the Divine Intimidation Technique he performed with his eyes during his Qi Refinement stage.

Instead, he performed it directly with his externalized Spirit Consciousness!

The vast endowment of his Divine Soul was fully unleashed, leaving no room

for error.

If it was Luo Tianhong at his peak, Luo Chen perhaps wouldn’t dare to do this.

After all, he didn’t know if a disciple of a Great Sect possessed a method to strengthen the endowment of the Divine Soul.

If he were to experience a backlash, it would be a loss not worth the gain.

But the Luo Tianhong of now, had become a ghost.

Moreover, he was currently recovering from a direct hit from Fierce Sun

Technique.

Last of all, he was in the home field of the Soul-Refining Flag, suffering repeated weakening.

At this point, he was in his most vulnerable state!

When the Divine Intimidation Technique, pushed to its limits, enveloped Luo

Tianhong, Luo Chen didn’t feel the slightest exhaustion.

What he felt-

Was the sensation of having complete control over one’s life and death.

At the entrance, Luo Tianhong slowly knelt down, his body gradually collapsing on the ground.

Seeing this, Luo Chen no longer hesitated.

The Spiritual Secrets in his hands shifted.

“Collect!”

With a soft yell from his mouth, the nine chains instantly tightened.

Dragging Luo Tianhong into the unfolded dark curtain.

Luo Chen rose to this full height.

With a beckoning hand, the Soul-Refining Flag falls into his hand.

His gaze fell on the unfolded flag canvas, a ferocious face with a hint of steadfastness faintly visible.

With this, this ghost general, equivalent to the Foundation Establishment

Stage, was under his control.

Not only that-

The quality of Soul-Refining Flag also leaped from Ascendant Grade to Top

Grade in one fell swoop.

However, if he wants to use it smoothly, it won’t be that simple.

Even the ghost soldiers tried to backlash against Luo Chen.

Let alone the presence of a ghost general.

After this, Luo Chen needs to devote a great deal of time to subduing the consciousness of the ghost general.

What Luo Chen cared about was not this.

What he cared about was something else.

His spirit consciousness delved into the Soul-Refining Flag, continuously

entering and exiting the body of the ghost general.

Soon, he found what he was looking for.

“Come out!”

With a low shout from Luo Chen, a pure black chess piece slowly drifted out.

As he looked at it,

Luo Chen’s breathing became more hurried.

“Magic Item, the Lan Ke Chess Piece!”

Clasping the black chess piece in his hand, Luo Chen swallowed hard.

“Indeed, it’s this item!”

Back then, when the Ancient Plains Mountain Range opened the Golden Core ruins,

Pang Renxiong first sneaked in and took away the majority of the treasures.

Later, many Foundation Establishment True Cultivators teamed up and entered, vying for opportunities.

in the end, Mi Shuhua acquired the storage ring of the Supreme Elder of Ghost

God Valley as closure.

But there weren’t many treasures from Ghost God Valley in that ring.

Instead, there were only a few magic items.

Among them,

Luo Chen was aware of the presence of two magic items, the Monster-Locking Tower and the Lan Ke Chess Piece.

The former was highly valued by Pang Renxiong, who even wanted to take it back to the Yu Ding Sword Sect.

The latter, on the other hand, was a treasure that the Supreme Elder of Ghost

God Valley protected in the past, and it was of medium grade!

As Pang Renxiong had already become a Golden Core Sword Cultivator, he ignored such treasures because all his focus was on his sword.

Therefore, he gave it to Luo Tianhong, who had made great contributions. However, after the battle in the Inner City of The Great River District, Luo Tianhong fell, and the whereabouts of the Lan Ke Chess Piece, a defense magic item, were unknown.

It was unexpected that one of the black chess pieces ended up with the Ghost General, who Luo Tianhong reincarnated into.

“I didn’t expect that even half of this treasure would be equivalent to a lower- grade magic item!”

“If it combines with the white chess piece, wouldn’t it be able to recreate the power of a mid-grade defense magic item?”

“No, I cannot be so greedy.”

“To have a single chess piece is already a huge blessing!

Even the black chess piece alone was a lower grade defense magic item.

This was undoubtedly a huge gain for Luo Chen, far exceeding the results of three years of hard cultivation!

For a long time, Luo Chen’s means of protection had been skewed towards offense rather than defense.

In terms of offense, he could be considered to have maxed out.

Even during the Qi Refinement Stage, he could pose a threat to Foundation Establishment True Cultivators.

However, defense had always been his weak point.

He had only the Ascendant Grade Defense Coat and the fringe defense provided by the Four Symbols Tripod.

This was not a problem on his part.

But it was due to the current trend in the Immortal Cultivation World to favour combat.

Because of this inclination towards combat, defense-type magic tools had always been in great demand.

Among magic tools of the same Order, their prices were consistently high. Moreover, during combat, if one wanted to defeat an enemy, the main target was often the enemy’s defense magic tool.

As a result, when collecting spoils of war,

Very few defense magic tools were acquired.

Luo Chen, leading the Luo Tian Creed, had gone through many major battles. But the defense magic tools that were confiscated were still few.

Those of Ascendant Grade were even fewer.

Compared to ordinary Ascendant Grade defense magic tools, he was more used to the Four Symbols Tripod.

For a long time, this was the reason why he had not replenished this weak point.

The Defense Spell of Second Order, the “Glass Sky Canopy” bestowed to him by Wang Haichao, even though Luo Chen knew that the other party might harbor ill intent, he still put his heart into cultivating it.

The aim was also to make up for this deficiency.

However, mastering a technique is easier said than done.

To cultivate it to the point where it can be used freely, he did not know how much time it would take.

In comparison, magic tools were a quick and straightforward solution.

And defense magic items were treasures that all Foundation Establishment True Cultivators dream of.

The reason why Nangong Jin agreed to deal with Duan Qiankun back then was exactly because of that Ze Guo Kui Map, right?

Now, Luo Chen also had his own defense magic item.

With this, his weakness was instantly turned into his strength!

“But this item has been permeated with Yin Ghost Energy for many years, and it needs to be nurtured well before it can be controlled like an extension of my body.”

Luo Chen carefully stored it away.

He planned to go back and refine it carefully.

A magic item is not like a magic tool, it’s not something one can master quickly upon acquiring it.

Looking around, Luo Chen had no intention of staying any longer. The current situation in the Big River Ghost City was indeed precarious. Even though the Ghost King, Pang Renxiong, was suppressed by the lingering measure left by Linghu Jie of Luo Yun Sect.

But that measure was like a rootless duckweed.

Pang Renxiong held the geographical advantage, and it was only a matter of time before the seal would break.

By then, not to mention Mountain Feng and the Ghost City,

Perhaps the entire area of The Great River District covering thousands of miles would be under the might of Pang Renxiong, the Ghost King.

“In that case, The Great River District would not only not be a lawless place, it would become a dangerous area.”

“Where should I go to then?”

The faint thoughts lingered in his mind.

Luo Chen gathered his aura and descended from the second floor.

Suddenly,

He paused.

At the entrance of the Spirit Medicine Hall, an illusory figure was standing beside the decayed wooden window, looking fearfully at him.
