Chapter 108
Dozens of ghosts emerged from the talisman, surging toward Xu Ming like a scene out of a hundred ghosts night parade.
After years of training in the Blood Asura Battalion, Xu Ming had honed his senses to the point where he could discern an opponent’s cultivation level from the quality of their spiritual energy. The opponent’s energy was thin yet immense, indicating they were likely in the Sea Observation Realm. However, there was a faint aura of transformation akin to a carp leaping over the dragon gate, suggesting they were at the late stage of the Sea Observation Realm.
Xu Ming stepped forward, his fist smashing out. The violent surge of his blood energy scattered the malevolent spirits, clearing a path before him. He took another step, his foot shattering the stone tiles beneath him. Pressing the attack, Xu Ming rapidly closed the distance between them.
The opponent, however, was well aware of the danger of allowing a Soul Condensation Realm martial artist to get close.
“Fall!” Li Hui shouted, his palm pressing downward. A black sigil descended from the sky, aiming for the crown of Xu Ming’s head.
Yet Xu Ming remained indifferent. The martial aura radiating from his body formed a protective shield around him, and the sigil shattered upon contact, like an egg striking a boulder.
Li Hui’s brow furrowed slightly. With a sharp motion, he pointed forward, unleashing a beam of deathly energy aimed straight at Xu Ming’s heart.
Xu Ming’s pupils began to change, intricate and incomprehensible runes emerging within his jet-black eyes. This was the first time Xu Ming used his Dao Pattern Eyes in combat.
After his battle with Shen Sheng, Xu Ming had gained the Dao Pattern Eyes but refrained from using them during missions. At the time, his cultivation was too low, and the eyes consumed excessive physical and spiritual energy. More importantly, acting with others made it hard to conceal this ability. Everyone believed Xu Ming was spiritually crippled, so suddenly displaying spiritual power would raise questions he couldn’t easily answer. Xu Ming had decided to keep it as a trump card, only to be used in life-or-death situations.
