Even as joy spread out across the giant ghost king’s face, Bai Xiaochun stuffed the pills into his mouth.
“You....” There was nothing the giant ghost king could do to fight back. As soon as the pills entered his mouth, they melted, and the medicinal effect of the pills erupted explosively. At the moment, the giant ghost king’s cultivation base was incredibly weak, and he couldn't do anything to control the effect of the pills. Rumbling sounds filled his mind, and he instantly lost contact with the spell formation.
Although he wanted to reestablish contact, the burning heat that spread through his body battered at his mind, making it difficult to even think straight. However, he made a mad effort to control himself, and once again reached out to the spell formation. The stone turtle instantly surged with power, causing pressure to weigh down everywhere, and filling the hearts of the Bai Clan cultivators with sensations of imminent deadly crisis.
However... Bai Xiaochun’s Aphrodisiac Pills were simply too devastating, and the giant ghost king had been given too many. Soon his face began to turn bright red, and he started shaking visibly. A moment passed, and... despite the fact that his connection to the spell formation was tenuous at best, it had not been broken.
But all Bai Xiaochun had needed was a bit of time. Howling, he pushed forward with greater speed, using everything at his disposal to shoot out of the stone turtle’s left eye and then into the moat beyond.
In that instant, the giant ghost king called upon his indescribable levels of self-control to suppress the burning fire within him. He gripped tight on his connection to the spell formation, and then tried to activate it. However... as soon as Bai Xiaochun burst out of the turtle’s eye, the rising energy of the spell formation faded away.
“No!!!” the giant ghost king howled as he watched hope vanish right in front of him, sending him plummeting into the depths of despair. As soon as the word left his mouth, Bai Xiaochun looked over angrily and slapped him across the side of the head again.
“Shut up!”
“I'm gonna kill you, Bai Hao!” the giant ghost king roared. “Kill you, ya hear? You’re dead! Aggghhhh!!”
Whack! Bai Xiaochun slapped him again.
“Don’t hit me, you--”
Whack! Whack! Whack! Whack! Bai Xiaochun proceeded to slap him eight more times, until finally, some blood oozed out of the giant ghost king’s mouth. Having no choice but to endure the humiliation, the giant ghost king bit down on his bottom lip and stopped talking.
The current Bai Xiaochun seemed even more terrifying than the Bai Xiaochun who had just fought his way out of the cellblock. As of this moment, he seemed like nothing more than a devilish ghost!

Chapter
651: How Brilliant, Patriarch
“You got what you deserved!” Bai Xiaochun said angrily. “You listen to me, you old bastard: don’t push me! When I get pissed off, I frighten even myself!”
Fear still lingered in his heart from moments earlier. He knew that if he had been even a bit slower, allowing the giant ghost king to gain control of the spell formation, then he would have died.
As he wallowed in that lingering fear, he glared at the giant ghost king with such intense killing intent that it left the man shaken. Furthermore, considering that he was willing to humiliate his own father, was vicious and merciless, and had reviled his own clan, then obviously, provoking him would be a huge mistake.
At the moment, the giant ghost king could only bow his head and vent his anger inwardly. “He definitely wants something from me,” he thought. “Fine. I’ll just endure and refrain from provoking him.”
Even as he lowered his head, the clan chief and other members of the Bai Clan flew out from the stone turtle’s eye. Of course, the Bai Clan had their ways of protecting themselves from the corrosive water of the moat, and immediately began to chase Bai Xiaochun.
Face twitching with fear, and having no more time to deal with the giant ghost king, Bai Xiaochun burst into motion, heading toward the surface of the water as quickly as possible. However, only a moment later, the little turtle suddenly shrieked, “Back up!!”
Without the slightest hesitation, Bai Xiaochun shoved the giant ghost king out in front of him and lurched in the opposite direction. As he did, a sound louder than heavenly thunder caused everything in the area to shake violently.
At the same time, an incredible force descended into the moat water, causing a massive eruption of water.
Thankfully, Bai Xiaochun was protected behind the giant ghost king, who took the entire force of the blow. Blood sprayed out of the giant ghost king’s mouth as his internal organs vibrated on the point of collapsing. Even large portions of his hair fell off of his head; it was as if a full twenty percent of his overall energy had been destroyed!
As for his cultivation base, in the blink of an eye it dropped from Core Formation into Foundation Establishment.... Obviously, that attack wasn’t a Nascent Soul divine ability, but rather... a blow from a deva!
As the boom continued to echo out, Bai Xiaochun realized that all the water around him had been destroyed, leaving him hovering in the middle of the air. Furthermore, up above him, with a grim, maddened expression on his face, was the Bai Clan patriarch!!
Bai Xiaochun was so nervous his tongue was stuck to the top of his mouth, and his heart was racing faster than ever. He knew that if the little turtle hadn’t warned him, he would have died from that attack. Furthermore, without the giant ghost king there to use as a shield, the little turtle’s warning would, at most, have enabled him to escape with serious injuries.
The Bai Clan patriarch had been searching for the giant ghost king, but had obviously received a message from someone in the Bai Clan, causing him to turn his attention to Bai Hao!
However, he could never have guessed that Bai Xiaochun could survive a full-force blow!!
Shocked, the patriarch looked closer, and immediately focused on the tool Bai Xiaochun had used to defend himself... an old man with a red birthmark on his face!!
“That’s....” The Bai Clan patriarch shivered, and his aura fluctuated unstably. Then his eyes began to shine with unprecedented light. He almost seemed hopeful, as though he had just been rescued from an impossible situation.
“This... this....” He couldn’t even speak straight. A moment later, he threw his head back and laughed maniacally, a laughter that filled all of Giant Ghost City, a laughter filled with delight, joy, and complacency.
As for Bai Xiaochun, his heart began to pound, and he looked over at the giant ghost king to see that his eyes were somewhat blank. He didn’t look at all like he had moments ago when arguing with Bai Xiaochun. As of this moment he realized that everything that was happening... was likely just fate.
“The heavens will not destroy the Bai Clan! Hahaha! We're saved!! King Giant Ghost! How could I have ever imagined that you would actually be here!!!”
