Chapter 69: True Qi Like an Ocean
Although the two corpse ghosts had lost their flesh and were not particularly fast, each was bizarrely eerie.
Halfway through its sprint, one suddenly bent down and violently slammed all ten fingers into the ground.
Gu Shiyi immediately leaped high into the air as a dozen snow-white, sharp bone spikes shot out from the ground with a rapid *thud-thud-thud*. If Gu Shiyi had been even slightly slower, he would have been turned into a hornet’s nest.
The other corpse ghost opened its maw and spat out a vast wave of flame—white on the outside and blue on the inside—searing and hot.

Gu Shiyi took a deep breath and blew outward violently. His true qi rushed forth like a gale, scattering the sweeping blue ghost flames.
“Impressive skill.”
Hongxiao had already positioned herself beneath him. Brandishing her rapier, she slashed out several blood-colored sword beams.
Just as Gu Shiyi raised his head, his expression shifted drastically, and his true qi manifested before him as a modest Black Tortoise.
When the sword beams struck the Black Tortoise, red flames burst forth with a sharp *poof*.
“Sun-Eroding Yin Qi?”
Gu Shiyi’s expression grew exceedingly solemn.
“Giggle, giggle… Good skill, good eyesight. It is indeed Sun-Eroding Yin Qi.” Hongxiao rested one hand on her waist, parted her red lips, and inhaled forcefully.
