Chapter 149: Sending Heads Zero Miles Away
Wang Yiming noticed the changes in Tong's body without Yang Haoran's reminder. He knew what he had to do.
With a wave of his hand, more ghost-slaying talismans shot out from his talisman bag. It was evident that Wang Yiming had come prepared this time, knowing he was dealing with ghosts, so his talisman bag was stocked with plenty of ghost-slaying talismans.
At this moment, the Yin Qi transformed into a soul once again from the skin ghost's form, struggling as it attempted to escape. With a few movements, it shattered the chains on its body!
Though Wang Yiming's ghost-slaying talismans had caused some damage, the skin ghost's strength remained formidable. Yang Haoran's chains, formed from Yin spirit power, couldn't completely restrain him.
Seeing this, Yang Haoran loudly instructed Wang Yiming and Tong, "Tong, trap him with your array! Yiming, focus on attacking! I'll do my best to capture him in the soul gathering bead!"
Wang Yiming acknowledged and swiftly manipulated a multitude of ghost-slaying talismans, all aimed at the skin ghost!
The skin ghost dared not confront them directly. He knew the consequences if those ghost-slaying talismans landed on him, so he could only evade.
Meanwhile, Tong spewed a mist of blood from his mouth. Already pale, his condition worsened after expelling the mist.
Ignoring his own condition, Tong's fingers moved swiftly. The blood mist condensed into a drop of blood in front of him, dripping onto the blood array beneath him. The power of the blood array, already weakened, seemed to strengthen with this drop of blood, as if it had been blessed, enhancing its power!
"Soul Lock!"Tong shouted, and the blood lines covering the entire floor suddenly came to life. Like eyes, they shot towards the skin ghost, even faster than Wang Yiming's talismans!
Piercing sounds echoed as dozens of blood lines penetrated the soul of the skin ghost. Initially intangible, the soul emitted sounds upon being pierced by the blood lines.
Though the blood lines didn't inflict significant damage, they restrained the skin ghost, slowing its movements considerably.
Ghost-slaying talismans appeared instantly behind him, and with a change in expression, the skin ghost emitted an angry roar and narrowly avoided them by twisting its soul at the last moment.
Failing to hit its target, the ghost-slaying talismans, under Wang Yiming's control, abruptly stopped in mid-air, then changed direction and once again surged towards the skin ghost!
The skin ghost slowed down, with more blood lines piercing its soul!
Every blood line stretched taut, fixing the soul of the skin ghost in mid-air. No matter how it struggled, it couldn't break free from these blood lines!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
At the moment its soul was fixed, all of Wang Yiming's ghost-slaying talismans hit the skin ghost without exception.
The talismans ignited, unleashing their power. Spiritual lights flashed continuously on the skin ghost's soul, causing immense damage. Its agonized screams echoed, audible even outside the building.
Meanwhile, Yang Haoran's soul gathering bead appeared above the skin ghost's soul. A tremendous suction force erupted from within, enveloping the skin ghost's soul.
Under this immense suction force, the skin ghost's soul began to distort and deform, gradually being drawn into the soul gathering bead. Panic flashed across its face as it struggled with all its might, attempting to break free from the soul gathering bead and the blood lines entangling it!
"I have no grudge against you! Why are you doing this to me!!"
The skin ghost roared furiously, his words not only carrying anger but also deep resentment!
"Hmph! You've harmed the living, so you deserve punishment!"
Wang Yiming spoke coldly, then waved his hand, and several talismans shot out from his bag.
They were still ghost-slaying talismans, but compared to the dozens used earlier, these few seemed less impactful.
It wasn't that he didn't want to use more, but his talisman bag now contained only these few.
Though their numbers were few, he believed they were sufficient. As long as these few ghost-slaying talismans hit the skin ghost, they would definitely be the final straw!
"I shouldn't have died! I wouldn't have died! It's all because of them! It's all because of this hospital! They caused me to lose my life! So they all deserve to die! I'll have my revenge! I'll have my revenge!!!"
The skin ghost raved madly. His outburst seemed to fuel his resentment, causing the Yin Qi entwined around his soul to slightly regain its strength, despite having faded significantly earlier.
"Don't waste time with him! Act quickly!" Yang Haoran urged Wang Yiming.
He was already exerting all his effort to activate the soul gathering bead, but the skin ghost's resistance was too strong. For a while, he couldn't draw its soul into the soul gathering bead.
He could endure, but Tong beside him was already teetering on the brink, evidently unable to hold on much longer.
Once Tong collapsed, their team would lose an essential support. Without the blood lines released from the blood array to trap the skin ghost, capturing it into the soul gathering bead would become even more challenging.
Fate seemed to enjoy playing tricks on people. Often, the more you worry about something, the more likely it is to happen. Although the reason for this phenomenon was unknown, it was undeniably peculiar.
At the exact moment when Yang Haoran's urging fell, instability suddenly appeared in the blood array beneath Tong!
Snap!
Snap!
Snap!
The blood lines that were restraining the skin ghost suddenly began to break in large numbers. Seeing a glimmer of hope amidst its struggle, the skin ghost exerted all its strength and forcefully snapped the remaining blood lines!
Splurt!!!
Tong spewed blood, collapsing stiffly to the ground, his fate uncertain.
With Tong's collapse, the blood array dissipated into a mist, and the blood lines that enveloped the entire floor also vanished.
Seizing this opportunity, the skin ghost erupted with all its remaining strength, forcibly pulling out a portion of its soul that had already been drawn into the soul gathering bead.
Already heavily injured, after wrenching its soul from the soul gathering bead with all its might, the skin ghost knew it couldn't stay any longer. It dashed towards the nearest wall at the fastest speed, aiming to escape through it.
Wang Yiming's reaction was equally swift. Although he was deeply concerned about Tong's condition at this moment, the situation didn't allow him to be distracted. With a roar, the few remaining ghost-slaying talismans in front of him all hit the fleeing skin ghost.
Once again struck by the ghost-slaying talismans, the portion of Yin Qi that had recovered due to resentment was dispersed again. Its soul became even more ethereal, severely injured!
However, the skin ghost paid no attention to this because it knew it had to seize this opportunity to escape; otherwise, it would have no chance.
Enduring the pain inflicted by the ghost-slaying talismans, the skin ghost spat out a pitch-black Yin Qi, blocking the soul gathering bead controlled by Yang Haoran.
Then, it rushed towards the wall once more!
"Oh no! It's going to escape!"
Yang Haoran panicked inwardly. However, at that moment, another figure suddenly appeared in front of the skin ghost.
To be precise, it was another ghost—a female ghost!
This ghost had long flowing hair, and her gaze towards the skin ghost was filled with endless resentment!
This female ghost was none other than Guo Yu, who had been frightened to death some time ago!
Guo Yu's appearance stunned the skin ghost. It recognized her, but it hadn't expected her to appear here at this moment!
"So, you're here after all. It's perfect. It seems I'm in the right place!"
A fierce grin spread across Guo Yu's face, her gaze towards the skin ghost turning cruel in an instant!
"You killed me. I must avenge this. Now that we're all ghosts, I'm not afraid of you anymore. You..."
Before Guo Yu could finish speaking, the skin ghost suddenly opened its mouth wide and bit down on her!
It was a large mouth, devoid of teeth, a gaping void. It bit off half of Guo Yu's soul in one go. Ignoring her struggles, it sucked her in forcefully, swallowing Guo Yu whole!
This scene made Yang Haoran tremble all over!
Not out of fear, but out of anger!
"Damn it! What an idiot!"
While cursing loudly, his actions didn't stop. The soul gathering bead dispersed the Yin Qi and continued to rush towards the skin ghost, but the skin ghost had already burrowed into the wall.
The soul gathering bead crashed into the wall, hitting nothing!
[Heartfelt thankyou for the support! BokuBoku]
