Free Web NovelChapter 107: Chapter 86: I Won’t Spare You, Even as a Ghost
"Damn it!"
Qi Yang’s expression was grim.
He was heavily injured, his Magical Power nearly spent, and he was being relentlessly attacked by these tireless Human Puppets.
He had also lost an arm and was bleeding profusely. If this continued, he would eventually be worn down and killed by the very Human Puppets he had created.
"Get lost!"
After a moment of thought, Qi Yang made a decisive choice. He used his Power of Origin, even though doing so would cause his Realm to drop.
Under normal circumstances, Cultivators were unwilling to expend their Origin.
But he had no choice now. His Magical Power had already been completely drained in the previous battle.
"BOOM!"
As Qi Yang activated his Origin, the black alms bowl erupted in a brilliant light.
It sent the two Human Puppets flying back, crashing into the cliff face.
"WHOOSH!"
Qi Yang, for his part, channeled his Power of Origin, grabbing the edge of the alms bowl with his remaining good hand and letting it carry him away.
He didn’t attack Xu Lei, because Xu Lei had already retreated to a relatively safe distance.
"Did you think you could escape, Qi Yang?"
To this, Xu Lei just gave a faint smile. "You’re a dead man."
As he spoke, Xu Lei shook the Bell, commanding the Human Puppets to give chase. He then stepped onto his Locust Leaf Flying Ship and pursued Qi Yang himself.
A short while later, Qi Yang came to a stop.
The energy from the drop of Origin he had just used was already depleted.
At this point, Xu Lei didn’t attack. He simply stood a hundred meters away from Qi Yang.
He just kept shaking the Bell, urging the Human Puppets to catch up.
The Human Puppets’ speed was still slower than either of them.
"I admit defeat."
Qi Yang staggered, spitting blood as he fell to the ground. He looked at Xu Lei. "You’re ruthless, kid!"
"Can you tell me who you are?"
"Let me die knowing!"
But Xu Lei just kept shaking the Bell, and the Human Puppets continued to approach, getting closer and closer.
Qi Yang was on the verge of once again being attacked by his own Human Puppets.
"Kid, I’ll take you down with me!"
Qi Yang finally used his Power of Origin again. The black alms bowl flared with brilliant light, carrying his entire body as he charged toward Xu Lei.
"BOOM!"
His speed was ferocious, his momentum astonishing.
The light radiating from the alms bowl was gathered by the palm of Qi Yang’s good hand, condensing into a black, swastika-shaped Palm Seal!
The seal swirled, and within its dark light, shapes like skulls writhed. The wails of resentful women and the cries of infants echoed from it.
"Retreat!"
Xu Lei was startled. He hadn’t expected this old bastard to be so ferocious, even at death’s door.
However, with his Locust Leaf Flying Ship, Xu Lei retreated quickly.
"BOOM!"
In the end, Qi Yang’s attack still missed its mark.
It shattered the trunks of large trees, causing them to topple, and broke apart boulders, sending fragments flying everywhere.
"PTUI!"
He stopped again, opening his mouth to spit blood.
This time, unlike before, he wasn’t intentionally feigning weakness to lure Xu Lei closer for a surprise attack.
Instead, after unleashing that ultimate move, he had genuinely aggravated his injuries.
"RING, RING, RING!"
Xu Lei, however, remained a hundred meters away, watching calmly.
He shook the Bell again, sending the Human Puppets to attack Qi Yang.
He intended to wait until Qi Yang was completely spent.
"Kid, you’re ruthless! I admit defeat this time!"
But suddenly, Qi Yang, his eyes bloodshot, roared, "But I’m telling you!"
"This isn’t how it ends for me!"
"I’ll get you back, even as a ghost!"
As he spoke, he suddenly pulled out a Talisman. Upon activation, it flickered with light and burst into green flames!
The flames actually engulfed Qi Yang’s entire body!
Then, his physical body began to wither rapidly.
"WHOOSH!"
A faint, transparent silhouette of Qi Yang floated out from his flesh.
And the Ghost Fire opened a crack in a transparent, dark gate.
The power of the Talisman began to pull Qi Yang inside.
At that moment, Qi Yang’s black alms bowl, now devoid of energy, lost its luster and fell to the ground.
"SQUELCH!"
"SQUELCH!"
At Xu Lei’s command, the very Human Puppets Qi Yang had created rushed forward, stabbing their blades through the corpse’s chest and abdomen.
But it was already lifeless.
"Could this be an Infinite Ghost Talisman?"
Xu Lei’s pupils contracted. "He really turned himself into a ghost?"
Xu Lei launched an attack with his Magical Power, but it passed right through, failing to instantly kill Qi Yang’s Soul Body.
He was sucked directly into the crack of the transparent gate, which was filled with black Qi, and vanished.
The Soul Body of Qi Yang gave Xu Lei one last, hideous glare. He was no longer making a sound—or at least, none that Xu Lei could hear now that he was a ghost. But by reading his lips, Xu Lei knew roughly what he was saying: "I won’t let you get away with this! I won’t!"
’I didn’t expect this guy to be so tenacious.’
’Even after death, he doesn’t just snuff out like a candle flame like the others.’
’But it doesn’t matter. By the time he comes back, I’ll be invincible.’
’Killing him then will be as easy as slicing melons and chopping vegetables.’
