My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 484 - 164: [First Update]

Just as Gu Qingqing said, the Dragon Capturing Sword passed through the ghost’s body without harming it. Instead, a pair of claws suddenly extended from under the ghost’s cloak, viciously striking towards Si Lin’s face. If not for Si Lin’s quick reaction, he might have been scratched. The ghost’s claws were poisonous, with an unknown toxicity, making it very difficult to treat if one were to be caught.

Yue Zhao’s Flowing Light Zither appeared in his hand. He gently plucked the strings, and invisible Sound Blades flew towards the ghosts not far away. Unlike the Dragon Capturing Sword, upon sensing the Sound Blades, the ghosts immediately dodged, yet their cloaks were still cut by the Sound Blades.

Seeing Si Lin’s mistake, Mu Chen’s Red Flame Spear trembled, yet he did not directly attack the ghost with the spear. Instead, a Fire Dragon surged from the tip of the spear, racing towards one of the ghosts and enveloping it.

Since his advancement, Mu Chen’s spear technique had greatly improved, and the Fire Dragon he unleashed now was no ordinary flame, having a certain restraining effect on ghosts. The fire licked the ghost’s cloak, and had the ghost not reacted quickly, its entire body would have been engulfed in flames.

Nan Hua moved both hands simultaneously, drawing two Arrays in the air. He then deployed them at the same time, locking onto one of the ghosts. The Array flew to the top of the ghost’s head, trapping it beneath a pale blue light beam that prevented its escape.

A golden Array rose from beneath the ghost. Streams of golden Sword Qi appeared within the Array, piercing through the ghost’s body.

Despite the ghost’s desperate efforts to evade, the space within the Array was limited, forcing it to endure the Sword Qi passing through its body. Its cloak became riddled with holes in an instant. Its blood-red eyes seemed to dim significantly due to its weakness.

A silver scimitar was in Jun Wu’s hand, and he approached a ghost swiftly, delivering a fierce slash to its body. The silver blade light flew towards the ghost, leaving a long gash on its cloak, from which wisps of black smoke emerged. Its deep red eyes glared, locking onto Jun Wu and charging directly towards him.

Gu Qingqing, having witnessed similar battles with ghosts in the Secret Realm earlier, had gained new insights into the Power of Word Spirit during her time there. She did not retrieve the Mixed Immortal Silk coiled around her waist but intended instead to subdue these ghosts with Word Spirit.

"Fixed!" As her ethereal and mysterious voice fell, the ghost rushing towards Gu Qingqing was immobilized in mid-air.

"Thousand Cuts!" Gu Qingqing’s eyes flashed as she spoke once more.

Following her words, a white halo flew from her body, landing directly on the immobilized ghost. Instantly, numerous small holes started appearing on the ghost’s cloak, with black smoke continuously rising, and its red eyes dimming even further, clearly not in good shape.

Gu Qingqing’s eyes revealed a hint of surprise and satisfaction. It was the first time she’d used Word Spirit Technique in battle since exiting the Secret Realm. Unlike before, she only felt a small portion of her immortal power deplete instead of having half her Spiritual Power drained.

"Destroy!" Seeing the effectiveness, she spoke once more.

As her words fell, the immobilized ghost turned into a puff of black smoke before Gu Qingqing, disappearing with a gentle breeze.

Feeling very pleased with how easily she had dealt with a ghost, Gu Qingqing noticed Si Lin still struggling with a ghost and promptly moved to assist him.

The combat ability of these ghosts wasn’t very strong. Maybe they were transported here not for invasion but for other purposes, so their cultivation levels were not high.

With previous experience, Si Lin no longer allowed ghosts to approach closely during combat and avoided directly cutting the ghosts with the Dragon Capturing Sword, choosing instead to injure them with Sword Qi. This approach also proved effective.

With Gu Qingqing’s arrival, Si Lin could clearly feel a great reduction in pressure.

With Gu Qingqing’s assistance, they quickly dealt with four ghosts.

"Geng Geng, your Word Spirit Technique seems much more powerful now. Are you all right?" Everyone’s impression of Gu Qingqing’s Word Spirit Technique was that it consumed quite a lot of immortal power. Seeing her use the Power of Word Spirit so many times just now, Nan Hua couldn’t help but ask.

"I’m fine." Gu Qingqing shook her head, seeing Si Lin and the others looking worriedly at her, and couldn’t help but smile, "In the Secret Realm, I learned how to use Word Spirit Technique in battles. My previous methods were incorrect, requiring so much immortal power, but that’s no longer the case."

To prevent Si Lin and the others from worrying, she briefly explained her situation.

Hearing her explanation, everyone had an epiphany and no longer found her behavior strange.

"However, Word Spirit Technique is indeed very powerful," Mu Chen couldn’t help but remark.

They had to carefully strategize to deal with the ghosts, making sure to eliminate them, whereas Gu Qingqing didn’t need to. Her Power of Word Spirit worked on anything. At this moment, they felt envious once more.
