498: Chapter 75: Soul Suppressing Pass_2 498: Chapter 75: Soul Suppressing Pass_2 “As for Demon Suppression, just kill more evil spirits.

It’d be best to topple a few powerful demon BOSSes.

I think this condition should be no problem for you.

We’ve taken down so many demon leaders in Canglin State, that should be enough.

To empower talismans…

you could buy more talismans, it’d be best to get some high-level talismans too and use them more often in battle.

Of course, if you could learn the profession of drawing talismans, that would feel even more secure.

With that, I think it should be pretty much covered.”

The rules for profession refresh are related to the player’s in-game behavior prior to advancement; in other words, you need to consistently do certain things daily.

For Bai Ze, who believes in last-minute cramming, this is very inappropriate.

He’s already at Level 28 now, and for the first 8 levels he fought almost entirely with magic, so even if he puts in a lot of effort now, he’s more likely to refresh a Magic System Advanced Profession.

Luckily, the system will refresh three professions at a time, so as long as the experiences related to being a Sword Master are the third most accumulated, it’ll be fine.

The group was discussing future profession plans when Ye Luo suddenly warned, “Be careful, everyone, we’re at Ghost Cry Gorge.”

Sure enough, a moment later, cries of weeping suddenly echoed around them.

In this dark and deep valley, it sounded even more eerie.

“Wuu wuu wuu wuu.”

“Wuu wuu wuu wuu!”

“Wuu—wuu, cough cough, wuu wuu.”

Various weeping sounds rose and fell, clearly audible through the speakers.

Xiao Jie, however, was not scared.

Before coming here, he had done his homework on Ghost Mist Ridge.

Ghost Cry Gorge was located at the entrance to Ghost Mist Ridge.

Legend has it that many refugees fled through this place in the past, and they were caught up with by the Netherworld’s army and slaughtered, all dying within this canyon, which is why crying sounds could constantly be heard here.

At the same time, many ghosts who were unwilling to die just drifted around.

Xiao Jie activated the Shura Ghost Eye and immediately saw many wandering ghosts hovering faintly in the darkness around him.

Wandering Soul Ghost: Level 20.

Life Value 300.

Mourning Ghost: Level 22.

Life Value 340.

Heart Stealer: Level 24.

Life Value 420.

Bai Ze also formed a hand seal—Mystical Eye!

A flash of golden light in his eyes allowed him to see the locations of the surrounding ghosts as well.

Ye Luo didn’t even need to use a skill, as the Impermanence Walker naturally possessed Yin Yang Eyes.

Only I Want to Be Immortal was wandering in confusion—”Where?

Where are the ghosts?” He stared into the dark forest around him, but saw nothing.

Although the Yellow Turban Warriors possessed the power of Demon Suppression, they could not actually see ghosts, which was quite frustrating.

However, with the presence of Demon-suppressing Spirit Light, ordinary ghosts didn’t dare to easily approach.

“They’re right ahead.

Watch our movements and prepare for battle.”

Saying this, Xiao Jie switched the Xuanming Sword to his main hand.

Bai Ze also drew his Peach Wood Sword.

He was quite willing to summon Heavenly Soldiers, but to elevate his swordsmanship level, Bai Ze was willing to be ruthless, using martial weapons instead of magic whenever possible in battle.

It turns out you might just become a close-combat Daoist.

Luckily, even before learning Daoist Skills he made his living with a sword.

For extra safety, he equipped himself with runic armor too, encased in a layer of golden talismanic Armor, sufficient to stand unafraid.

His set of armor immediately caught the attention of the ghosts around them.

“There are living people here again.”

“I smell the living.”

“Give me back my life!”

The ghosts wailed mournfully and pounced towards the four of them.

Good timing!

Xiao Jie delivered a sword strike to the advancing Mourning Ghost.

With weak resilience, the ghost couldn’t stand up to continuous sword attacks, and two strikes later, the Mourning Ghost’s life gauge was reduced by a third.

Suddenly, the Mourning Ghost let out a shrill scream—Death Wail!

Above Bai Ze and Ye Luo’s heads appeared a DEBUFF instantly.

[Dizziness: Your speed has dropped 30%.]

Xiao Jie, however, was unaffected, with the word ‘immune’ appearing above his head.

Still, the scream was quite creepy.

Helical Slash!

Swish, swish, swish, the sword’s helical slash went out, and the ghost let out a howl, dissipating into the air.

What a fragile monster?

Xiao Jie was also surprised since a Level 22 Little Monster should have been able to take a few more hits, but it was downed by a few normal attacks followed by a Combat Skill.

Ye Luo, however, explained, “Monsters like ghosts actually have very weak frontal combat ability, relying on physical immunity and invisibility to bully those of the Physical system.

They also like to impose negative statuses on people.

It’s quite easy to kill when you have Soul Slash ability.”

With that, he chopped down a Wandering Soul Ghost with a sequence of Sword Dance.

I Want to Be Immortal could not see them, but fortunately, the Battle Axe had a wide range, and he swung wildly around himself—Demon Sweeping!

With one swing he actually hit two, and being a Warrior with an innate Demon Suppression trait, any weapon was effective against Spiritual Bodies, knocking down a group with just a few swings.

“Leave two for me!” Bai Ze hurriedly swung his treasure sword and rushed forward.

The Peach Wood Sword made a dull sound as it struck the ghosts.

His swordsmanship was a bit rusty, but luckily, since they were only Level 20-some Little Monsters, they were fairly easy to kill, and he chopped down one in a few strikes.

Suddenly, a Heart Stealer flew in front of Bai Ze, its dark pupils emitting a red light, staring intently at Bai Ze.

Ghost Curse—Possession Technique!

“Careful!”

“Interrupt it quickly.”

One Cut, Two Pieces!

Hand Palm Thunder!

Demon-suppressing Slash!

The group’s joint attack directly interrupted the Heart Stealer’s casting, slaying it on the spot.

Although the Possession Technique was dangerous, its casting was too long, and it could only be used at close range.

As long as they were careful, there was no need to worry about being taken over.

And Xiao Jie didn’t even need to dodge much; Gods and Ghosts Avoid was not just for show.

Basic ghost curse Skills from ordinary ghosts were largely immunized against.
