#503 - Nether Ghost Claw
The red-clothed woman, Dai Qianmo, upon hearing this, gradually became serious.
She knew very well that Li Chengfeng's considerations were not unfounded but were based on deep contemplation of the overall situation.
She nodded lightly, indicating her understanding: "Alright, I understand.
I will go there, safeguard the seal, and protect myself as well.
But you must promise me that you will return safely, and we will face even more challenges together."
Li Chengfeng smiled and nodded, his eyes gleaming with determination: "Don't worry, I definitely will.
Moreover, I have a plan, and when the time is right, I will tell you.
It will be an unimaginable opportunity, and I believe it will allow your strength to rise to another level, and may even help you break through to the Transformation God realm."
The red-clothed woman, Dai Qianmo, nodded, believing that Li Chengfeng would not deceive her.
There was a special emotional bond between the two, but she still said to Li Chengfeng: "I am very worried about you doing this.
Facing the Evil Dragon Clan and the Demon Clan alone, you are weak and isolated, especially with Yun Zhao, that despicable villain.
I am most worried that he will interfere."
Li Chengfeng smiled indifferently: "It doesn't matter.
No matter how cunning Yun Zhao is, he is no match for me.
He was defeated by me even in his prime, and now he is even more like a stray dog, and his magic weapon has also been taken away by me.
The more desperate he becomes, the more he courts his own death.
You don't need to worry."
The red-clothed woman, Dai Qianmo, nodded and smiled: "Since that's the case, I won't be pretentious anymore.
With your wisdom and strength, I shouldn't worry too much, but for some reason, I always feel uneasy.
You gave me the forbidden armor, and I should also give you something in return."
As she spoke, she took out an item from her storage ring—a ghost hand, with strange patterns on it, resembling a Nether Path, and extremely sharp.
"This ghost hand contains immense power, which I cannot accurately measure.
It seems to possess life.
Giving it to you, I believe you can control it," the red-clothed woman, Dai Qianmo, explained.
Li Chengfeng took the ghost hand and probed it with his divine sense, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "So that's how it is.
This is a treasure from the Netherworld, not belonging to the human world, nor to the mortal realm.
These runes represent the true power of hell.
This item is of a high grade, but it was cut off by someone.
How it ended up in the human world is unknown.
Your Nine Yin Art cultivation technique, you comprehended it from this ghost hand, right?"
The red-clothed woman, Dai Qianmo, nodded: "Indeed.
This ghost hand was given to me by Yun Zhao, and I sensed the Nine Yin Art from his divine sense.
It was originally the palm of a great power, refined into a ghost claw.
I did not imitate it because the process was too cruel.
But with your forbidden armor, I can cover my arm and transform it into the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, with equally powerful force."
Li Chengfeng agreed: "That's right.
This is the Nine Yin Claw refined by the Supreme of Hell with Netherworld treasures, unique and unparalleled.
I can just refine it into a sword, complementing my cultivation."
The red-clothed woman, Dai Qianmo, nodded and said: "I am relieved to give this ghost claw to you.
I don't know what tricks Yun Zhao played on it, nor do I know where he got it from.
In short, I always feel that there is a secret involved.
Giving it to you, I am relieved.
With your wisdom, you will surely discover the clues."
Li Chengfeng nodded, put it away, and carefully threw it onto the Blood Pool for suppression.
The two then discussed further.
Time passed quickly, and more than a month had passed.
The red-clothed woman finally embarked on her journey, heading to the Myriad Demon Mountain in Fengyun Country, following Li Chengfeng's instructions to cultivate ghost energy, and carrying the resources he gave to the Fengyun Sect.
Li Chengfeng, through the Fengyun Sect's special code communication, discovered that the ghost energy at the ghost energy seal of Myriad Demon Mountain was unusually rich, indicating the approach of a riot.
Although the current seal is stable, the future is unpredictable.
If the seal fails and the ghost energy spring from the Netherworld enters the human world, the disaster will be no less than that of the Demon Clan and the Evil Dragon Clan, and then they will be attacked from both sides.
Therefore, Li Chengfeng decided to make arrangements in advance to strengthen the seal.
The red-clothed woman, Dai Qianmo, went to establish a teleportation array to respond quickly.
He planned to add a new seal on this basis, while improving the strength of the Fengyun Sect members, drawing them into the formation diagram, and enhancing their combat power.
Master Xiao Mowen's cultivation had reached the Half-Step Transformation God stage, and the world had also entered the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul stage, but the little junior sister had quietly left, her whereabouts unknown.
Although Li Chengfeng felt helpless, he also knew that the little junior sister was not what she used to be, clever and cunning, and should be able to protect herself.
He had been looking for a great power to suppress it, but suitable candidates were hard to find.
Fortunately, he met the red-clothed woman, Dai Qianmo, this time, and she would definitely be attracted to the pure spiritual energy there, becoming a powerful assistant to suppress ghost energy.
After sending away the red-clothed woman, Li Chengfeng activated the decomposed Netherworld Ghost Claw with the Blood Pool.
When the Blood Pool devoured it, an astonishing force surged out from within.
If the Blood Pool did not have the support of the spiritual objects of heaven and earth, it would have collapsed long ago.
Li Chengfeng quickly noticed and released his power to suppress it.
He skillfully used the Subduing Earth Saber Technique to strip away the other party's will, and then used the Soul Slaying Technique to completely eliminate it, finally taking this trophy into his possession.
This Netherworld Ghost Claw was indeed extraordinary, not only containing a rich Yin energy, but also being extremely sharp.
Under the decomposition of the blood fat, a crystal nucleus appeared inside the ghost claw, which was the core of its power.
Although the ghost claw itself had lost its direct function, its material was still indestructible, a rare treasure.
Staring at this crystal nucleus, Li Chengfeng fell into deep thought.
He decided to refine it into a flying sword and integrate the power of the ghost claw into his external avatar—the Heart Demon's hand.
He was proficient in the Nine Yin Art, and because he often walked in the darkness, he gave this special arm to the Heart Demon, and after careful crafting, made it perfectly integrated into his left hand, making his left hand even sharper and faster.
The free transformation between tangible and intangible touched Li Chengfeng deeply.
He praised: "Heart Demon, the Netherworld Ghost Claw you refined for me is indeed infinitely powerful and indestructible."
After saying that, he gently clenched his fist, and with a puchi sound, a piece of Geng metal was easily crushed.
Now, Li Chengfeng no longer cared about Geng metal.
Although these Geng metals were incomparably hard, they were as fragile as tofu under the Netherworld Ghost Claw, easily cut and crushed.
He warned the Heart Demon: "Having this power, although it seems like you have obtained a powerful magic weapon, you have also invisibly been contaminated by karma.
I hope that the future will not be hindered by this."
The Heart Demon snorted coldly and said indifferently: "What are you afraid of?
I was originally meant to protect you from disasters.
If there is any resentment or anger, just come at me."
Li Chengfeng nodded slightly upon hearing this, thinking to himself.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a palpitation, a sign that Ma Bao was in danger.
Since Ma Bao drew the forbidden armor, a subtle connection had been formed between the two, and now he was approaching that sea area.
Li Chengfeng keenly noticed that Ma Bao had left the space and was heading towards him, a separation of several years.
Ma Bao had not arrived for a long time, and there must have been an accident.
This trip should be approached with caution.
Sure enough, a cultivator was slowly advancing in the air, driving a flying boat, hiding his figure, it was Ma Bao, who was acting extremely cautiously.
Inside the flying boat, there was a woman, Zhan Wusi.
The current Zhan Wusi had lost all her memories, as if reborn, and with her outstanding appearance, she had become Ma Bao's Dao companion.
Li Chengfeng breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, but he noticed something strange.
Although Ma Bao was careful, he could not escape the pursuit of those who had intentions.
In front, a beam of light cut through the void, accompanied by a sneering voice: "Although your methods are clever, and you can hide your whereabouts, you can't escape the eyes of my Black Mountain Old Monster!
Quickly hand over the treasure and that woman, and I will spare you!"
Ma Bao was apprehensive, believing that he had acted meticulously, and had turned danger into safety many times with his wisdom.
Unexpectedly, he had encountered a rogue cultivator in the Golden Core stage, while he was only in the Foundation Establishment stage.
The disparity in strength was too great, and he was on the verge of life and death.
