Chapter 125: Chapter 125: Strike First to Gain the
Advantage
“Evil creature, stop!”
A thunderous shout exploded as a massive sword of light appeared out of nowhere, sweeping towards the four ghosts.
Wherever the sword of light passed, it radiated a pure Holy Light, and the divine aura filled the entire sky.
Bathed in Holy Light, a layer of pure white flames ignited on the ghosts, with the massive light elemental energy little by little eroding their bodies, as if purifying them completely.
A shrill, mocking laugh boomed, sounding both near and far, followed by the intermittent singing of ghast ghosts coming from all directions.
A female ghost in red bridal attire, her face coated with thick white makeup, and her eyes white with a soul-snatching gleam, gracefully extended a ghostly hand and caught the sword of light with a grip.
“Pure Power of Holy Light, truly delicious… hehe…”
The divine aura that just moments ago permeated the sky immediately turned into a sinister ghostly atmosphere, with the wind turning cold and the sky turning into a realm of specters where numerous black ghostly shadows overlapped, floating within.
“Judgment of Holy Light!”
The blocked sword of light shattered with a roar, dispersing into countless light particles, then reconverged into a pillar of Holy Light that descended from the sky and struck the bridal-dressed female ghost.
“Hehe, it’s been so long since I’ve bathed in Holy Light. This sacred aura is truly intoxicating, hehe…”
Enveloped by the column of Holy Light, the female ghost not only felt no discomfort but extended both ghostly hands, gently caressing the Holy Light as if touching it and savoring the serene comfort it provided.
As she caressed the light, the pillar of Holy Light slowly shrank until it was compressed into a pearl the size of a longan, which the female ghost swallowed in one gulp.
Pure elemental Holy Light, indeed a delight of this world, hehe…” “Inverse Yin and Yang, this is the technique of shifting yin and yang, you are a Shikigami!”
An old man radiating Holy Light, holding a knight sword aglow with Holy Light, appeared fifty meters in front of the female ghost in bridal attire.
“So quickly recognized, then you can die!”
The yin energy surged violently, the realm of specters expanded wildly, transforming into a giant ghostly face that opened its gaping maw to tear through the space around the old man, swallowing him whole.
“Damn Wokou! How dare you intrude upon the territory of Great Xia, you all deserve death! Holy Light Illumination!”
A massive amount of light energy wove into a giant Holy Light Net, breaking through the space of yin energy formed by the specters’ realm and enveloping it instead.
“Attacking the hovering airship, did you really think the Hovering Group would be easy to bully? Activate the ship’s Spirit Nullification Array, and lock down all the spiritual power of professionals inside the airship!”
A booming voice spread throughout the entire hovering airship as the staff controlling the protective array responded without hesitation to the command. The next instant, a net formed by the condensation of spiritual power appeared inside the airship, sweeping from the bow to the stern. As the net of spiritual power passed, all spiritual power was wiped away except for the special first- class cabin at the top. It repulsed all energy from heaven and earth.
What once was a standstill between the realm of specters and the Holy Light Net in the air, now instantly dissipated after the sweep of this net of spiritual power.
Wind howled, and the ghostly atmosphere vanished clean away along with the divine aura and light elements, as if none had ever existed.
“Now that you’re deprived of the continuous support of ghostly qi from within the realm of specters, you’re just a Fourth Order LV90 fierce ghost. How many of my swords can you take?”
Before the old man finished speaking, he charged forward, his knight sword slashing and chopping with increasing speed and strength, each strike more powerful than the last.
The bridal-dressed female ghost, who had been laughing just moments ago, was now dodging in embarrassment, no longer displaying the relaxed and imposing manner of earlier when she caught the sword with her ghostly hand. Now she could only clumsily dodge; once touched by the knight’s sword, the massive Holy Light Power would burn holes into her, eroding and purifying the ghostly aura inside her body.
“Damn old man, actually resorting to external help, Green-Faced Ghost, come and assist!”
The bridal ghost, who had been smiling just before, now had a gloomy expression on her snow-white, foundation-coated face as she struggled to cope with the attacks while summoning four Green-Faced Ghosts to her aid.
As for continuing to destroy the flying ship’s Formation Array, it was no longer realistic.
But their role was only to delay the Fourth Order powerhouses inside the flying ship; it would be best if they could destroy the Protective Array, but it didn’t matter if they couldn’t.
Because from the start, their target had been very clear.
Inside the elite cabin, Zi Liyuan stood next to Lao Tie, the room packed with a dense crowd of armored skeleton warriors.
When he saw five men in black forcibly breaking in, his face carried a trace of an amused smile.
Spiritual Power and Power of Death were banned inside the Hovering Group’s flying ship, but not in the elite cabin-so he, who had been using Spirit and Eye of Death from the beginning, could still observe the situation within a kilometer radius.
When he noticed this squad of men in black, clearly aiming for the elite cabin how could he not know that those attacking the flying ship were after him?
Adhering to the principle of the first to act prevails while the latecomers suffer the moment these men in black broke through the door, two Death Arrows were launched stealthily, one after another, shooting out in rapid succession.
The first man in black to break through the door had just shown his face when the two Death Arrows blasted him.
The immense dark energy immediately invaded his body, inflicting “-51220” “-52311” damage—two terrifyingly high numbers.
Before the man in black could react, a bone and flesh pillar that had been placed near the door suddenly exploded, enveloping the entrance in a large expanse of the Power of Death.
Energy of death was rampant, life force dispersed, and the Power of Death instantly invaded the bodies of all the men in black.
“-596755” “-697280″…
A series of damages exceeding 59W+ fluttered above the heads of these men in black.
Caught completely off-guard, the five unfortunate souls who broke through the door could not even let out a scream before they collapsed to the ground, instantly losing their lives.
“Tsk tsk, fully aware that I am a Necromancer yet not wearing anything to protect against the Corpse Explosion Technique-they are either too brave or they underestimated me. What do you think?”
Zi Liyuan cocked his head, speaking to the maid who had just been giving him a massage, with a smile that remained on his face from start to finish.
“When did you notice?”
“From the moment you entered the room. After all, it’s strange for a Fourth Order powerhouse to serve as a maid, isn’t it?”
Shrugging his shoulders, Zi Liyuan spoke as if it was the most natural thing in the world.
This maid had naturally concealed her aura, but with Zi Liyuan possessing the skill Eye of Death, he could clearly see the strength of life force within living beings and even sense some of the equipment’s aura.
The life force within this maid was more than twice as strong as his, and most of the equipment she wore could not be detected by him. The only piece that Zi Liyuan detected was a blue accessory of level LV85!
Even just this piece of equipment was enough to confirm that the maid’s level was at least LV85, a true Fourth Order powerhouse!
If he still couldn’t spot the problem, then he might as well find a block of tofu and smash his head into it.
