My Silly, Sweet Wife

Chapter 1441 - 1360: Fighting Desperately

"Jiuyou Soul Suppressing Tower?"

Upon seeing the Jiuyou Tower appear, the shadowy figure was visibly stunned.

Soon, he revealed his form.

He was a robust man.

Cloaked in black robes, with eyes filled with greed.

Staring at the Jiuyou Tower, as if seeing the most precious thing in the world.

"Unexpected, truly unexpected, the Jiuyou Tower has been missing for over a thousand years, and it has reappeared. To think you would possess the Jiuyou Tower, haha, it seems today I will make a huge gain."

The man in black laughed heartily, his body surging with malice, spreading his arms wide and pushing forward.

A surging force collided with the Jiuyou Tower.

Clang!

A crisp sound rang out.

The Jiuyou Tower shook twice, unexpectedly appearing as if it might fall from mid-air.

Ye Guichen spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

At the corner of his mouth, however, a trace of bloodthirsty fervor appeared.

Even the spirit of the dragon couldn’t withstand the shadowy figure’s single move, yet the Jiuyou Tower merely shook and did not collapse.

Ye Guichen was overjoyed.

This was enough to prove that the Jiuyou Tower might be able to restrain the man in black.

"It’s truly a treasure, truly a treasure! To be able to withstand my full-force attack!"

The shadowy figure did not shatter the Jiuyou Tower, instead, he was inexplicably excited, laughing wildly, his clothes fluttering fiercely as if blown by the wind.

"Ghost King arise, a thousand ghosts wail, a hundred corpses descend!"

The man in black shouted, as the eerie wind arose again in the air, howling incessantly.

The ground began to crack open.

The entire Hefeng Valley seemed to have fallen into hell.

From the ground, countless skeletons crawled out.

These skeletons made a hushing sound and quickly gathered towards Ye Guichen.

Feng Wuxiu witnessed this scene, his eyes almost popping out.

"What—what is happening?"

Within the blink of an eye, countless skeletons rushed forward.

They did not attack Ye Guichen; instead, they madly crashed into the Jiuyou Tower.

With each clang, the ghostly light surrounding the Jiuyou Tower significantly dimmed.

"Haha, haha, boy, in my eyes, you’re no more than an ant, and such a treasure as the Jiuyou Tower should appear in your hands. However, you are not worthy of possessing the Jiuyou Tower, so today it will be mine!"

The man in black waved his hand.

A black triangular flag appeared in his hand.

The flag released countless wraiths, joining the skeletons and crashing into the Jiuyou Tower.

With each crash, Ye Guichen felt as though something collided into him, and his connection to the Jiuyou Tower became increasingly weak.

Could it be that this guy wants to snatch away the Jiuyou Tower?

Ye Guichen’s heart sank, realizing that if things continued this way, it might really be over.

"Break for me!"

Ye Guichen wanted to use the Jiuyou Tower to absorb those entities, but no matter if they were skeletons or wraiths, they couldn’t be absorbed.

He had no choice but to maneuver the Jiuyou Tower.

Countless iron chains launched forth from the Jiuyou Tower.

The chains, like sharp blades, frantically whipped toward the skeletons and wraiths.

The chains struck the skeletons, shattering them to pieces instantly.

Striking the wraiths, they too were shattered into fragments.

However, too many wraiths emerged from the skeletons.

They gathered densely in increasing numbers.

Ye Guichen even wondered if the millions of skeletons in Hefeng Valley were all summoned by the man in black.

"Does it have to be to the death?" Ye Guichen raised his head, shouting loudly.

The man in black chuckled, "Originally, killing a junior like you was trivial to me. Killing or not killing is like stepping on an ant. Haha, who cares about an ant’s life or death? But now, the situation is different. Do you know? This treasure, the Jiuyou Tower, and its master are connected as one. If the master does not die, the Jiuyou Tower will not recognize a new master. You may have heard the saying, ’an innocent man harbors a treasure and becomes guilty.’ Your cultivation is too weak, and you possess such a rare treasure. Even if I don’t kill you, if anyone knows you have the Jiuyou Tower, many will come for you, so today, your only way is to die."

The man in black let out a piercing howl.

The skeletons and wraiths became increasingly frenzied, crashing into the Jiuyou Tower with madness.

Ye Guichen felt his energy weakening, his connection to the Jiuyou Tower thinning.

It wouldn’t be long before his link with the Jiuyou Tower broke, and his own life would end as well.

"Ahhh!"

Ye Guichen knew he was no match for the man in black.

The opponent was too powerful.

Yet to sit and wait for death was impossible.

Feng Wuxiu had been struck by the man in black’s wave, flying off, now unable even to stand, let alone help.

The dragon spirit, though retrieved into the Jiuyou Tower, was also on the brink of death.

Even if he released Little Black and Gui Tuo, it would be of no use.

Thunder Strike Technique!

With no retreat, Ye Guichen barely rallied his spirit and summoned the Thunder Strike Technique.

With Ye Guichen’s improved cultivation, the technique no longer required as much effort as before.

Furthermore, now Ye Guichen could unleash the Thunder Strike Technique three times consecutively.

Whether he survived this calamity depended on the Thunder Strike Technique.

"Thunder, come!"

Ye Guichen shouted loudly.

In mid-air, the thunderclouds churned.

Before the heavenly thunder descended, the wraiths and skeletons seemed jolted, their rate of crashing into the Jiuyou Tower slowed significantly.

The man in black couldn’t believe it, he looked up and a flash of shock crossed his eyes.

He seemed utterly unprepared for Ye Guichen to have such numerous tricks.

"This brat must be killed today, or he will become a major threat in the future!" Seeing the rolling heavenly thunder, the man in black finally showed a hint of dread.

He brandished the black flag in his hand once again.

From beneath the black flag, a black tiger sprang forth.

The black tiger roared loudly, grew wings on its back, and flew towards the heavenly thunder.

"Descend!"

Ye Guichen shouted.

The heavenly thunder rolled downwards, striking towards the black tiger.

The black tiger growled, showing no trace of fear.

The next second, the heavenly thunder collided with the black tiger.

However, the power of the heavenly thunder was far beyond imagination.

With that hit, it instantly turned the black tiger into flying ash.

The residual force again surged towards the man in black.

The man in black was moved.

He never thought that a small figure he regarded as an ant would cause him such fear.

"Haha, young man, you’ve indeed got some skills, no wonder you dared to snatch the Ghost Pill from me!" The man in black pushed out his left hand, taking out a mirror.

The mirror was also entirely pitch-black, but it seemed as if something was about to crawl out from it.

"Red Demon, come out!"

With those words, a huge creature resembling a weasel crawled out from the mirror.

Then, right after climbing out, it expanded rapidly and opened its mouth, swallowing the thunder falling from the sky.

"Haha, such a paltry trick, boy, do you have any more skills? Show me!"

Seeing this, the man in black laughed even more maniacally.

He looked down at Ye Guichen as if he were gazing upon a dying man.

Ye Guichen had never seen such a scene.

Yet, the creature resembling a weasel, called the Red Demon, seemed to be a soul body.

It was similar to a dragon, yet more terrifying than a dragon’s soul.

Because it could swallow the lightning bolts.

"Once more!"

Lightning was precisely used to deal with soul bodies; Ye Guichen refused to believe the Red Demon could continuously swallow thunderbolts.

This time, Ye Guichen executed the Thunder Strike Technique to its fullest.

"Purple Cloud Thunder!" Ye Guichen shouted, and two purple thunderclouds quickly formed.

One struck towards the creature resembling a weasel, the other towards the man in black.

The man in black’s pupils slightly contracted.

"Good lad, you can actually summon heavenly thunder repeatedly. It seems you have many secrets! Haha, but even if you have every card today, you’re going to die!"

The man in black tossed the black mirror upward.

The Red Demon raised its head again, swallowing the lightning.

However, this time, the power of the thunder was much stronger than before, and without any obstruction, it struck the Red Demon solidly.

The Red Demon screamed, though it swallowed most of the lightning, it still fell from mid-air.

The black mirror also developed a crack.

"Damn, it actually damaged my Luori Mirror!" The man in black’s expression finally changed.

But now he couldn’t care less about that mirror, because the other purple lightning was already closing in.

The man in black had no choice but to spread his cloak outward: "Blazing Cloak, expand for me!"

Whoosh!

Like being blown by the wind, the cloak suddenly opened up, enveloping the man in black within.

The lightning struck simultaneously, hitting the cloak.

It’s unclear what the cloak was made of, but upon impact, it merely emitted a puff of green smoke without being pierced through.

Ye Guichen felt somewhat fatigued.

Three successive lightning strikes had pushed Ye Guichen’s body to the brink.

However, after three consecutive lightning strikes, they evidently intimidated the skeletons and specters.

They had forgotten to attack the Jiuyou Tower.

The connection between Ye Guichen and the Jiuyou Tower grew closer.

Using this opportunity, Ye Guichen unleashed numerous chains, binding the surrounding skeletons and specters, pulling them into the Jiuyou Tower.

Whoosh!

They were instantly absorbed into the Jiuyou Tower.

Meanwhile, Ye Guichen soared into the air, rushing towards the man in black.

The man in black began to feel a trace of dread.

This Thunder Strike Technique was overwhelmingly powerful.

Even if there was a significant gap in their realms, the man knew if Ye Guichen used it a few more times, there would be no way to withstand it.

"Damn, this brat is more troublesome than envisaged!"

As he pondered what to do, Ye Guichen dared to boldly initiate an attack against him.

"Brat, you’re too arrogant!"

The man in black revealed a menacing smirk, throwing a punch.

The fist expanded huge in mid-air, resembling a gigantic iron hammer, crashing down towards Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen knew he couldn’t possibly block such a punch.

However, Ye Guichen didn’t dodge.

A smile played at the corner of his mouth.

"Bring it on!"

Seeing the distance to the shadow of the punch was less than a hundred meters, Ye Guichen suddenly changed direction, his figure swaying before disappearing abruptly on the spot.
