Free Web NovelChapter 582: Chapter 42: Inner Core (3)
Just as he was about to find a direction to return to Black Mountain, a light and floating voice sounded:
"Friend, please stay!"
"Hmm?"
He suddenly turned around and looked at the newcomer:
"Who are you?"
"Loose Cultivator Fang Zheng." Fang Zheng manipulated the Ghost King to bow slightly and said:
"I’d like to borrow something from the friend."
"What thing?"
"Inner Core!"
?
Guan Suo’s face turned fierce, and he roared through gritted teeth:
"How bold!"
"Die!"
The Dantian Inner Core trembled, and a vast force burst forth from his body, transforming into countless streams of light charging straight at his opponent.
Seven-Colored Illusory Cloud Flying Needle!
This technique is an auxiliary magic of the Ghostly Illusion Technique, refining mana into needles, hidden within the body and released when needed.
These needles have form but no substance, unpredictable and capable of breaking magical artifacts’ spiritual light and protective force, nothing can withstand them.
Moreover, they are simple to activate, released at a thought, and with astonishing speed.
Thousands of streams of light transformed into colorful halos, like a rainbow in the sky, carrying an allure to confuse minds as they approached.
Ordinary opponents often don’t regain their senses before they fall into the trap.
"Swish!"
The phantom trembled.
Guan Suo’s heart pounded, just as he was about to cast magic to counter, suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.
He slowly lowered his head, eyes wide open, before his eyes was a bizarre bloodstained hand.
Ghost King...
How could it be?
"Hmm?"
Fang Zheng raised an eyebrow, extended his finger, and the Inner Core in his hand turned into a stream of light towards the Ma Family Siblings.
He himself stepped back, his body turning into illusion, hidden in the void.
"Boom!"
At the moment he retreated, Guan Suo’s body suddenly exploded, fierce flames covering an area of several acres.
These flames indiscriminately burned, even forcing the Ghost King’s body, which had melded into the void, to come out.
"Hm!"
The Ghost King let out a muffled hum, and the Yin Energy on his body burst forth, like a black curtain rolling downward suddenly.
In an instant.
The flames were completely extinguished, but the Ghost King’s aura also weakened.
"Quite the fellow, if I hadn’t acted early and prevented him from blowing himself up along with the Inner Core, I might have been severely injured on the spot."
Fang Zheng moved out of the fire’s range, fear lingering in his heart:
"The Dharma Gate of the Yama Sect mostly concerns Underworld Soul Ghosts, and it restrains Underworld Soul Ghosts, not to be underestimated."
"I possess the body of a Ghost King, but my methods are monotonous. Let alone facing the Fengdu Ghost King, even figures like the Mountain Monarch can easily manipulate me."
"I must act cautiously!"
Thoughts turned over, the injured Ghost King once again transformed into a wisp of cyan smoke and disappeared into the Buddhist Shrine.
Meanwhile.
"Puff!"
"Puff puff!"
The Soul Hook Chain under his control suddenly tensed, the curved hook flashing cold light, instantly piercing through the throats of Ox-headed and Horse-faced.
He turned around.
The situation in the field had mostly stabilized, the evil cultivators of Black Mountain either fled far away or were in danger under the crowd’s siege.
"Master Fang!"
Nanny Cui shouted:
"Come quickly and take a look."
"Hmm."
Fang Zheng nodded and flashed to nearby a few people.
Ma Ning had fallen to the ground at some unknown time, Erya’s face was pale, and Ma Chao was crying and shaking his unconscious sister.
He asked:
"What’s going on?"
"This..." Nanny Cui’s eyes flickered, hesitated for a moment and then said:
"I just saw something rush towards Erya, I blocked with a knife, and that thing then fell on Ma Ning."
"Then..."
"Then it disappeared, and Ning girl became like this."
She seemed afraid of being scolded by Fang Zheng, her voice carried a sob and she quickly said:
"Master Fang, I didn’t do it intentionally, I didn’t know it would be like this, if I had known..."
"Alas!"
Fang Zheng shook his head.
If you had known, you probably wouldn’t have blocked at all.
In the crisis of the situation just now, unexpectedly couldn’t see clearly who the target was. Fortunately, the Inner Core ultimately went to Ma Ning.
Otherwise, it would have been more trouble.
Thoughts turning over, he stepped forward, held Ma Ning’s pulse, and a touch of ’surprise’ appeared on his face.
"Strange!"
"This girl’s body seems to have something extra, like a Ten-Perfection Great Replenishing Pill refining the flesh."
"It’s just that there’s too much Essence, given her cultivation base, she can’t quite handle it."
