C64 Spiritless Ghost Beast

A river that was only three meters wide formed an arc in front of them and surrounded a small white island. The river was pitch-black, and the bottom could not be seen. A bone-piercing Yin energy emanated from the river, and it was the Soul River that Elder Shen spoke of.

It was not accurate to say that it was a river. It did not have any ripples, and occasionally a few bubbles would appear on the surface of the water. It was more like a dead ditch.

"Sect Leader, I will go investigate!" Tan Ao had entered the Foundation Establishment Stage and became more daring. As he spoke, he skimmed forward.

"Come back!"

Wang Baoyu loudly shouted. Hearing this, Zhang Zhuoyi hurriedly stepped forward and held onto Tan Ao!

A strange scene appeared. The two people who had just stood still had an inexplicable smile on their faces. They held hands and walked forward.

"All of you, stand still and don't move!"

Wang Baoyu gave an order, and then quickly stepped forward. He reached out his hands to grab their clothes, and then forcefully pulled them behind him with all of his strength!

The strength displayed by the two of them was astonishing. They walked forward together, dragging Wang Baoyu with them.

At this critical moment, Wang Baoyu's dantian rapidly rotated, and true energy rushed into his two hands. He let out a loud shout, and with all his strength, he finally managed to pull the two of them backwards, one step, two steps, three steps!

After a dozen or so steps, the two of them suddenly came to their senses. They had no idea what had happened.

"This is too dangerous. If it wasn't for the Sect Leader, you all would have fallen into the river." Liao Ze Duan exclaimed in shock.

"The Soul Shattering River is indeed extraordinary, I seem to have lost my consciousness just now." Zhang Zhuoyi wiped away his sweat.

Everyone retreated another ten steps before feeling relieved. Tong Yan Song noticed something was amiss and asked in surprise, "Baoyu, how are you alright?"

Even Wang Baoyu was standing right in front of them. He had even saved two of them, so how could he be safe and sound?

"I'm different from you guys. Perhaps it's because I don't have a soul core." Wang Baoyu said.

Everyone was startled again. The Sect Leader actually didn't have a soul core. Just what kind of background did he have?

"Wait here, I'll go take a look myself!"

With that, Wang Baoyu strode forward. Zhang Zhuoyi couldn't help but shout out, "Sect Leader, this is too risky. Come back quickly!"

"Don't be afraid!"

After Wang Baoyu said this, he drew the Cloud Breaking Sword from his waist and continued forward. No one dared to block him, because if they did, they would only be a problem for the Sect Leader.

When he finally reached the edge of the river, the overflowing yin aura couldn't help but make him shudder. A negative emotion was affecting him — despair, pain, and hatred!

Taking a deep breath, Wang Baoyu circulated his Zhen Qi throughout his entire body, and then he controlled his mind and looked at the river.

The image of a woman in a white robe appeared in the river. She was lying quietly in the water. Her hair was floating like mist. Her face could not be seen clearly, but she could feel her lonely figure and her endless sadness!

Who exactly was she?

Suddenly, a strange whirlpool appeared in the river, followed by a grey figure rushing out.

His body was covered in protruding pimples and was leaking black water. The torn clothes hanging on his body could only cover his embarrassment. In one of his withered hands was a small pale trident.

Above that, there were green eyes, a wide mouth, jagged fangs, and a few sparse strands of hair. It was an extremely ugly sight to behold.

"Baoyu, come back quickly, this is a ghost beast!" Tong Yan Song shouted.

Without waiting for Tong Yansong to finish speaking, Wang Baoyu had already infused his Zhen Qi into the Cloud Breaking Sword, forming a long sword ray that hacked towards the ghost beast.

The sword light slashed through the ghost beast's body, but it was as if a ball of gas had been sliced through. The ghost beast was not harmed in the slightest, as if it didn't even feel it at all.

It was indeed a special race, true energy could not cause any harm to it. Just as Wang Baoyu was considering whether to retreat or not, the ghost beast suddenly raised its trident, and a stream of yin qi shot out from it towards Wang Baoyu's head.

The cultivators behind him all cried out in alarm.

Instinctively, Wang Baoyu's powerful divine sense was released and collided with that strand of Yin energy.

The Yin Qi dissipated, the ghost beast showed an expression of surprise and confusion, it once again rushed out a stream of Yin Qi, and also dispersed into nothingness.

Wang Baoyu groped his way out of the door, poured his Qi into his eyes, and began to use his soul consciousness to attack the ghost beast in front of him.

In their eyes, Wang Baoyu just stood there without moving. He continued to brandish his trident as he looked at the ghost beast in front of him, releasing a wave of Yin Qi.

After a moment, a burst of sobbing sounds could be heard, as if the ghost beast was crying. It finally fell into the river of souls and did not appear again.

Wang Baoyu didn't have the slightest understanding of this creature, so he wasn't able to determine whether it was injured or not. He also didn't know whether it would continue to attack.

While he was hesitating, he suddenly felt a strong call coming from the small island across the road. It was as if something was waiting for him.

Wang Baoyu gathered his zhen qi and jumped over the Soul Losing River, causing a hissing sound from the cultivators behind him!

The Sect Leader's courage is too great; he actually crossed the river by himself!

"Leader!" Tan Ao's heart went cold, and he cried out.

"What are you crying for, the Sect Leader will definitely be safe and sound." Wang Kai Xi could not help but complain. His eyes also started to tear up, and he secretly prayed for the Sect Leader to return safely.

Wang Baoyu set foot on this small island. There was white, soft, and fine sand all over the place, and from time to time, a few withered yellow grass would emerge. Besides that, there was nothing.

He walked to the highest point of the island. The more he climbed, the softer the sand under his feet became, almost sinking into his ankles.

This situation was extremely abnormal. Wang Baoyu was, after all, at the middle level of the Foundation Establishment stage, yet he could not muster up even the slightest bit of true energy. He had truly become a mortal.

He had reached the top with great difficulty, but it was still empty. This made him feel very disappointed. Just as he was about to turn around, a slight sound came from the small sandpit in front of him.

A small white dog squirmed out from the sand. It was as thin as a twig, and its hair was a mess. Its entire body was trembling as it looked pitifully at Wang Baoyu with its large, listless eyes, as if it was begging him.

Wang Baoyu immediately pointed his finger at it, causing the little mutt to shrink back into the pile of sand. Unwilling to give up, it crawled out again, trying to climb up to his feet.

He didn't feel anything unusual about the creature in front of him. It was clearly a human puppy. That pair of adorable eyes made his heart soften a little.

Ever since coming to this world, Wang Baoyu had seen ugly and ferocious demon beasts, but this was the first time he saw such a cute dog.

He bent down and picked up the dog. The dog stuck out its soft tongue, affectionately licked his finger, and then put it back into his bosom, letting out a soft whining sound.

"So cute, like a child!" Wang Baoyu smiled lovingly. He gently stroked his sandy fur and said, "Little guy, come with me from now on and give you a name. You can be called Little White!"

The little white dog whimpered slightly. It did not know if it would agree or not, but it closed its eyes and fell asleep sweetly.

After finding nothing, Wang Baoyu slowly walked down the island. When he approached the Soul Losing River, the Zhen Qi miraculously returned to his body, and it seemed to be even more surging than before.
