Chen Tian then turned his gaze to the last tombstone. If his guess was correct, these four tombstones, positioned at the southeast and northwest, were meant to infuse energy into the massive tombstone in the center, aiding the revival of the boss within. The girl they were searching for might be beneath this tombstone. Chen Tian needed to deal with them one by one, preventing the boss's revival, to rescue the girl and complete the mission.
Chen Tian slowly gathered fire elemental energy in his hands, and a large bow instantly appeared. Countless terrifying divine fire, ice heart, and blue flames continuously converged within the long bow.
In an instant, Chen Tian lightly released his fingers. A bolt of blue flame, like a divine descent, shot towards the last tombstone.
A faint black aura emanated from the last tombstone. Instantly, the aura transformed into a colossal skeletal claw that converged to protect the last tombstone.
The terrifying divine fire arrow struck the skeletal claw, causing a massive explosion. Chen Tian was surprised that his attack had no effect. It seemed the enemy within this last tombstone was not easy to deal with!
He drew his bow again and fired a triple shot. The terrifying divine fire seemed to have leveled up. Chen Tian increased his energy output. The divine fire arrows struck the tombstone's skeletal claw, instantly breaking through it and hitting the tombstone itself.
The tombstone shattered, and an enraged voice boomed, "Kid, you're courting death! You're trying to stop Lord Ghost God's revival!"
An old man appeared before Chen Tian, holding a black staff. He had an aged face, a dark figure, and a human form.
The elder, with a furious roar, declared, "Kid, I am the Great Protector of the Ghost Clan. Since you wish to die, I shall grant you your wish. Anyway, the Master has already begun fusing his body. Even if you destroy my formation now, you won't be able to stop the Master's revival."
Chen Tian was taken aback. Was it too late?
However, this did not affect Chen Tian's will to fight. At worst, he would fight a Ghost God boss. It wasn't like he hadn't fought bosses before.
"You should worry about yourself first!"
A smile played on Chen Tian's lips. He stepped forward, and terrifying blue flames appeared in his hands. He threw his hands forward, and monstrous fireballs of divine fire shot towards the Great Protector of the Ghost Clan.
Gui Ming, seeing the flames unleashed, exclaimed in surprise, "Divine fire? And at the King-level mastery! Kid, your growth speed is truly immense! It's a pity you encountered me."
Seeing the two divine fireballs hurtling towards him, Gui Ming tightened his grip on the black staff and muttered incantations. Countless ghost energies emerged from the crystal within the staff.
Instantly, the ghost energies transformed into a barrier that enveloped Gui Ming. Chen Tian's divine fire struck the black barrier and transformed into faint blue starlight embers.
Chen Tian's eyes widened as he stared at the elder's staff, then he opened the enemy's attribute panel.

After reviewing the attributes, Chen Tian became cautious. His opponent's Ghost Energy Stone controlled an inexhaustible supply of ghost energy, which explained why his divine fire was neutralized.
Coupled with the level difference, Chen Tian had to take this seriously. Flames formed dual blades in his hands, and he moved, instantly becoming a blur, relentlessly closing in on Gui Ming.
Since ranged attacks were ineffective, he would go for close combat!
"Did you think I couldn't see through your intentions?"
Gui Ming smirked evilly and swung his staff, conjuring a magic circle above his head. The ghost energy from the staff surged, transforming into countless weapons that rushed towards Chen Tian.
Trait: Ghost Energy Manifestation - can control ghost energy to form any desired shape.
Chen Tian watched the densely packed ghost energy weapons fly towards him. His dual blades slowly left his hands and began to circle around him.
Skill: Dual Blade Guard!
A red protective shield was generated by the rapid rotation and intertwining of the flaming dual blades. Each ghost energy weapon that struck Chen Tian's shield forced him back slightly.
Chen Tian found himself unable to attack and his mind raced. He then began to spin at high speed, gathering countless whirlwinds. A small tornado appeared.
The red flaming tornado then caught the incoming ghost energy, forcing it to spin along with his rotational wind. Chen Tian advanced inch by inch.
Within the red tornado, countless ghost energy weapons spun, instantly transforming into a red and black vortex.
Skill: Berserk Tornado
Chen Tian had sealed his main body, but his self-created skills were born from his thoughts. Chen Tian could recreate them through his clone.
Seeing this, Gui Ming also reacted. Terrifying ghost energies continuously flowed from the transparent black stone on the demonic staff, converging to form a colossal black giant made of ghost energy, akin to a fire giant, devoid of intelligence.
The ghost energy giant slowly opened its mouth, and strange energies permeating the mountaintop were drawn into its maw.
A black beam of light shot out, like a black line directly confronting Chen Tian's tornado.
Chen Tian did not halt his advance. His opponent had attacked, and the tornado collided with the black beam.
An explosion rang out, and a blue flaming longsword shot out, its tip aimed directly at Gui Ming. Gui Ming had no time to react and was instantly struck by the blade's edge, inflicting a wound on his body and reducing his HP by 25%.
"That was a common skill of the Greatsword profession, 'Longsword Throw.' Can Chen Tian even perform this?"
"Is he human or elf? I can't tell."
"Don't worry, let me check Chen Tian's attribute display. Then we'll know."
Shuzi, shocked, opened Chen Tian's attribute panel, but it clearly showed Elf.
Shuzi scratched his head, baffled. An elf player using human skills and weapon techniques? What was going on?
"A system bug? No, that's not right! There haven't been any bugs like this in three years."
Shuzi analyzed it carefully and suddenly realized something, falling silent.
Wuque Nanfei, seeing Shuzi's silence, instantly understood what he meant and showed a similar expression of surprise. If the two of them were right, Chen Tian might...
Meanwhile, Chen Tian was satisfied with his move. It was good that he had managed to cut off 25% of the opponent's HP. This meant he could defeat the Great Protector with four close-combat strikes.
"Kid, you're courting death!"
The Great Protector was clearly enraged. To be wounded by a mere human was a disgrace!
If they weren't in the mortal realm, where their power was suppressed, they could have instantly killed Chen Tian and wouldn't have to be so timidly waiting here for Chen Tian to break their tombstones one by one, forcing them out to fight him individually.
