Chapter 296: Chapter 99: Slay the Ghost with One Strike"Hurry—follow them up!" Xiao Jie urgently shouted. The group quickly raced towards the direction of the main tomb chamber. Although the Yin Sha Gathering Spirit Array had been tampered with, there was a chance that Yinlingzi could detect the modification, and if he were to discover the problem and repair the array, that would spell trouble. By then, if he regenerates to full health, how would they fight him? The high damage output from the earlier wave was solely reliant on the advantage of their surprise attack. They couldn’t let him restore the array. When the group eventually reached the main tomb chamber, Yinlingzi had already floated above the coffin. Yinlingzi (Evil Ghost King): "You mortals, how dare you plot against me, hmph, do you think with these little tricks you can kill me? Too naive! I am already a Half-step Ghost Immortal, once I fully recover, I will take your lives—Yin Sha Gathering Spirit Array! Activate!" A gust of Yin wind suddenly rose from the ground, sweeping towards Yinlingzi and converging upon him. Yet, just as it reached in front of Yinlingzi, the Yin wind abruptly turned, swirling around the coffin and forming a circular storm that trapped Yinlingzi inside, with the four Array Talismans faintly forming a surrounding stance. Yinlingzi was infuriated, "What! The Yin Sha Gathering Spirit Array—how is this possible? Dare I ask which master messed with my array? Why not show yourself?" Xiao Jie immediately realized this must be the "surprise" that Chen Tianwen had mentioned. There was a master, unfortunately, a cyber master. "He can’t move now, quickly attack!" The group launched their attacks. In reality, there weren’t many of them; apart from the five main attackers, the rest could only shout to bolster their morale, since the Thunder Talismans and Fire Talismans had been used up in the first round of attacks. Even among the five main attackers, aside from Little White Dragon and the two Masters of Magic who could reliably output from a distance, Hidden Dragon Do Not Use and Ye Luo had to prepare for close combat. But even with only three attackers, the damage was still significant with Yinlingzi unable to move. Yinlingzi, however, resolutely used his magic to probe the changes in the formation while casting Evil Techniques to summon Little Monsters. "Sacrificial Gate Pavilion, Corpse Ghosts roam, servant craftsman, heed my command, gather here, protect my name!" Boom, boom, boom! A series of mechanisms being activated echoed from around the tomb, and the howling of zombies continuously emerged from the corridors. Hidden Dragon Do Not Use’s expression slightly changed; there must be many zombie undead still within this ancient tomb. "Block the main entrance with teams two and three, block the burial chamber entrance with teams four and five, everyone else continue attacking!" Those without ghost-fighting abilities quickly dispersed to block the various entrances, ensuring that for at least a short time, the zombies couldn’t get in. The group continued their assault. After two or three rounds of attacks, Yinlingzi’s life value had dropped to just a quarter. At this moment, Yinlingzi had finally figured out how to break the Trapping Spirit Array. "So that’s how it is! So that’s how it is! Inverting Yin and Yang, gathering spirits to transform Yin! Turning the Gathering Spirit Array into a Trapping Spirit Array, truly has its mysteries—but that still can’t trap me!" Yinlingzi let out a furious roar, injecting the Yin Evil Power into the four Array Talismans, forcefully exerting strength. Boom, boom, boom, boom! Two statues around the coffin and two large vases, along with the four Array Talismans, instantly burst apart. Yinlingzi suddenly broke free from the bindings. "Full power output, strike with force!" Xiao Jie shouted loudly, at this moment Yinlingzi’s life volume was less than seven hundred, with full power output, two or three rounds of effective attacks could finish him off. Yinlingzi, sensing the imminent threat, summoned Little Monsters again. "Where is the Ghost Servant!" A gray and a white shadow appeared out of nowhere. Netherworld Ghost Servant—Level 19 Elite, Life Value 950. "Kill them for me!" The two Ghost Servants lunged fiercely towards the two Masters of Magic. In an unexpected move, Ye Luo flung out a black chain. Soul Binding Lock! Instantly restraining one. Confining Demon Spell! Bai Ze murmured, fiercely throwing out four spiritual talismans, transforming into four screens of light, trapping the other Ghost Servant within. At this time, Hidden Dragon Do Not Use took the lead, charging towards the Ghost King. Dragon Soaring Slash! The Ghost General Iron Spear drew an arcing line upwards, but Yinlingzi instantly dodged to evade, and Hidden Dragon Do Not Use spun into the air, leaping five or six meters high, the iron spear rotating and swinging, with a dragon-shaped Qi Energy immediately coiling around him. Secret Technique—Canglong Falling Cloud Style! This move, a variant of the Dragon Churning Sea Formation usable in the air, was unleashed as Hidden Dragon Do Not Use brought his iron spear down from overhead, the dragon-shaped Qi Energy also plummeting from the skies. Boom! -276! The strike had Yinlingzi’s spirit shaking, as if it might disappear at any moment, and his life value further decreased to 482! Yinlingzi was inexplicably horrified, feeling the threat of ’death’ for the first time. Ghost King’s Power—Evil Shadow Proliferation! Hidden Dragon Do Not Use saw the screen before him go black, and in an instant the surroundings had completely changed. He was no longer in the ancient tomb but on a battlefield covered with corpses and rivers of blood, where countless Asura warriors with ferocious faces and blood-covered bodies were swarming toward him. Upon closer inspection, they vaguely resembled the comrades from the Dragon Soaring Knights of the past, but now they had green faces and sharp teeth, transformed into Ghost Generals, surging forward. Asura (Horror Nightmare): Level 99. Life Value 100. "This is bad, I’ve been tricked!" Hidden Dragon Do Not Use, although tense, didn’t rush to attack. He knew that attacking recklessly at this time could easily lead to friendly fire. He continuously leaped toward the corner of the wall he remembered while shouting loudly, "How’s my health bar?" "No loss of health," Xiao Jie called out anxiously in YY. "That’s good, I’m fine. You guys keep fighting." Xiao Jie watched Hidden Dragon Do Not Use jump until he hit the wall, still jumping continuously, puzzled and shocked. What kind of spell is this? But it was an undeniable fact that Hidden Dragon Do Not Use had lost his combat ability. At this moment, without anyone to stop him, Yinlingzi had already lunged at the group. Little White Dragon shot arrow after arrow, his damage output being the steadiest, each arrow inflicting only several dozen points of damage but continuously. Yet, once Yinlingzi broke free, his movement technique was like a ghostly apparition’s, flickering with each flash, completely evading the shots, dodging two arrows consecutively. He looked at the last four Spirit Fire Demon-Expelling Arrows, not daring to use them lightly anymore. Yinlingzi let out a sinister laugh, suddenly stirring up a gust of yin wind sweeping toward the crowd. Ghost King’s Power—Yin Wind Bone Piercing! Five Elements Magic—Fiery Fire! Dida La finally made a move, the flames surging forth like a tidal wave. The bone-piercing yin wind and the fiery blaze collided continuously, each consuming the other. Watching Dida La desperately resist his magic, Yinlingzi sneered. "What excellent magic, Daoist. It’s truly a waste for your aged vessel to go unused. Why not merge with me, and together we ascend the path of the Ghost Immortal." As Yinlingzi spoke, he dashed through the flames with a flash, lunging at Dida La once again. He was particularly fixated on possessing Dida La’s physical body. Of course, the main reason was that his Life Value was nearly depleted. If he didn’t find a host to possess soon, he would be exhausted to death. At that moment, a figure stood in front of Dida La, "Dida La, Little White Dragon, when I control the boss, you guys hit with all your strength and don’t hold back!" Xiao Jie was also desperate. It seemed that the Ghost King was about to perish, but if he possessed Dida La, what then? To kill or not to kill? If they did kill him, the Ghost King might continue possessing others. There were only a few of them who could combat ghosts, and too many losses would be disastrous. Control the Ghost King? Both were stunned, thinking, can you even control ghosts? But at that moment, they had no choice but to agree. Xiao Jie drew his blade toward the Ghost King—Silent Annihilation Blade! The blade seemed unchanged, yet the power of Time Annihilation had already adhered to it. Silent Annihilation Blade: Integrate the power of Time Annihilation into your Sword Intent. The next attack that hits an enemy will ignore all Armor, reduced damage, Resistance, Defense, Block, and Magic Effects, dealing 100% True Damage. In other words, it could kill a ghost just the same. Yinlingzi recognized him immediately as the Swordman who had expelled him from Dida La. "Perfect timing, it’s you!" Ghost King’s Power—Body Seizing Technique! If he possessed this person, he naturally wouldn’t be expelled again! Facing the blade in Xiao Jie’s hands, Yinlingzi was not afraid, thinking a mere mortal who can’t even use magic poses no threat! It was all because of a Magic Artifact that he got the upper hand before, but now I’ll let you see my true power. Facing the menacing Yinlingzi lunging at him, Xiao Jie fiercely used his Big Move. Secret Technique—Illusion Shattering Bubble Shadow! The power of Time Illusion spread instantly, and in a moment, in the eyes of the onlookers, Xiao Jie, along with the Ghost King lunging at him, were both frozen in place. The two were stunned for a moment but then remembered Xiao Jie’s words. They fired arrows at the hovering Ghost King one after another, one conjuring a Three-stage Charge Fiery Flame Magic Ball, bombing the target. The Spirit Fire Arrows and the Fiery Flame Magic Ball flew near the Ghost King and froze in mid-air, moments away from the Ghost King who seemed oblivious to the five arrows, his eyes wide, maintaining his lunging posture. What kind of magic is this? The two were dumbfounded, previously thinking Xiao Jie’s Big Move was some sort of targeted skill, but now it seemed like—time had stopped? Along with the surrounding time itself. Boom! The moment Illusion Shattering Bubble Shadow dissipated, the arrows and fireball landed on Yinlingzi. For Yinlingzi, these attacks seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, impossible to dodge. Fortunately for him, he still had less than one hundred Health Value left. Possession—One Cut, Two Pieces! Xiao Jie slashed at Yinlingzi with his blade, Silent Annihilation Blade having only one chance, so he saved it until the last second, just in case—to add the final blow. Shua! Xiao Jie’s blade swept towards Yinlingzi head-on. The blade cut right through Yinlingzi. -138! Yinlingzi’s smug expression suddenly froze on his face. Yinlingzi (Evil Ghost King): "How is this... possible... my... path of the Ghost Immortal... ends like this...?" Yinlingzi’s spirit lingered in mid-air, and moments later, it dissipated into a wisp of black wind and vanished.
