Chapter 250: Chapter 247: Slaying the Ghost
Crackling~~
Lightning whips danced wildly, lashing out and carving cracks into the ground, filling every inch of the street with blazing lightning.
The "Ghost" moved like lightning, darting through the storm of whips, each swift motion accompanied by a piercing sound as he sliced through the air.
His hands transformed into pitch-black spectral claws, frantically tearing apart the vines wrapping around him, each strike severing several vine stalks as thick as columns!
"Break for me!"
He roared, his ghostly aura boiling over as he unleashed the full force of his Tier Six Nine Stars power! Scores of ghostly figures surged from his body, shredding the surrounding vines into smithereens!
However—
As soon as the severed vines hit the ground, they instantly rooted and regenerated, stronger and more resilient than before, their surfaces flickering with increasingly blinding lightning!
What’s even more terrifying is that these vines are systematically shrinking the surrounding space!
Initially, there was a hundred meters of room to move, now it’s compressed to less than thirty meters!
Buzz—
A lightning whip struck the "Ghost" from behind when he was off guard!
He hastily blocked it, his ghost claws clashing with the lightning whip, bursting with blinding sparks. Though he barely managed to fend off this strike, his arms numbed from the electric shock!
"Damn this thing!"
His eyes flared with ferocity, and he suddenly bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of essence blood!
"Nine Nether Soul Devourer!"
The essence blood transformed into a vast blood mist, flooding with ghostly aura, wilting the vines wherever it passed at a visibly rapid pace!
However, this desperate move only cleared vines within ten meters or so. In an instant, even more lightning-infused purple vines surged from the periphery, replenishing the void!
It’s useless~
From afar, Qin Tian’s gaze carried a hint of mockery.
Jie La’s energy is nearly infinite; the more the enemy struggles, the more energy they release, which in turn stimulates the vines to grow even more berserk.
It’s important to know, ghost energy is also a form of energy.
As if to confirm his words, eerie black patterns started emerging on the surface of the new vines—a clear manifestation of converted ghost energy!
The "Ghost" finally panicked.
He realized he was caught in a terrifying cycle: destroying vines → consuming power → vines absorbing ghost energy to regenerate → shrinking enclosure...
At this rate, he would be exhausted to death in this thunder prison!
Boom—!
The "Ghost"’s eyes turned blood red, his body suddenly igniting with blood-red ghost flames! He burned essence blood directly, performing a forbidden technique—
Nine Nether Blood Escape
Instantly, he transformed into a blood shadow, as he passed, the lightning dissipated, and vines collapsed, forcibly tearing open a passage through the thunder prison, charging straight towards Qin Tian!
"Die for me!"
A ghost claw extended from the blood shadow, its fingertips coiling with an ominous death aura, causing the space to tremble.
However—
"Now’s the time!" Zhuge Yu suddenly shouted, the Eight Trigrams Array spun furiously,
"Fu Ning, sword come!"
Hum!
The entire array’s power was infused into Fu Ning, and his longsword burst forth with unprecedented dazzling golden light, its blade trembling violently, as if it could hardly bear such a terrifying force!
"Celestial Sword—Exterminate Evil!"
A calm voice resonated across heaven and earth.
A sword light traversing the heavens and earth was unleashed, quick enough to surpass the concept of time!
Psssh!
The "Ghost" in the blood shadow had no time to dodge, and his chest was instantly slashed with a deep bone-revealing wound, the golden sword intent clinging like maggots in decay, fiercely invading his organs!
"Ah!!"
He let out a wretched scream, his figure dropping from the blood escape state, and before he could stabilize his body, several vines had already wrapped around his limbs like venomous snakes!
What’s more terrifying is that the tips of these vines transformed into sharp purple crystal blades, piercing into his body mercilessly!
"Argh—!"
The "Ghost" spasmed all over, feeling acutely that his essence blood and energy were being frantically extracted, those vines piercing into his body were wriggling like living creatures, greedily devouring everything of his!
Vision began to blur, energy rapidly drained...
Just as he was about to plunge into darkness—
Bang!
A bullet wrapped in violet lightning pierced through the air, striking precisely at his forehead!
The bullet exploded within his skull, the Celestial Punishment Divine Thunder instantly extinguishing his last consciousness, his lower body stiffened for a moment, then fell back heavily to the ground.
A gentle breeze passed, leaving only the rustling sound as the vines retracted.
Qin Tian slung the Shadowstrike over his back, offering a thumbs-up to the original form of Jie La on his wrist:
"Nicely done."
At the same time, his eyes tinted slightly purple as he discreetly absorbed the remaining soul fragments left behind by the "Ghost" after death into his spiritual sea.
[Spiritual Wisdom Divine Authority]—Soul Devourer.
"Ghost...is dead?"
Wu Ziyan murmured, with a lingering glow of flame at her fingertips, she blinked, seemingly still unable to believe what had just transpired.
Just a few minutes ago, they were pushed to the brink of despair, and now—that terrifying Tier Six Nine Stars powerhouse had turned into a cold corpse.
"Hahaha! Delightful!" Yue Shenghe plopped down on the ground, the scales of his Panlong Battle Body slowly receding, his chest heavily rising and falling, yet he smiled contentedly,
"Black Crow, your combination of Rune Sniper Rifle with Symbiotic Spirit Plant is truly sinister...cough, cough, truly formidable!"
Fu Ning silently sheathed his sword, his fingertips slightly trembling. That one strike had nearly drained all his spiritual power, but at this moment, a faint smile emerged on his stern face.
This sword strike vanquished a strong enemy, making his heart clearer than ever.
"Unbelievable..." Shangguan Lei’s spiritual field was still subtly trembling, through the Heart Net, he could clearly sense everyone’s complex emotions after surviving the ordeal—shock, jubilation, dread, and an involuntary gratitude and respect for the man wearing the Black Crow mask.
Zhuge Yu quickly approached the corpse, cautiously examining for a moment, then spoke, "Indeed dead...soul scattered."
Wow—
This sentence was like a key, instantly unlocking a flood of emotions, several geniuses collapsed directly on the ground, some even had reddened eyes.
The pressure of being at death’s door was too overwhelming, now relaxed, they realized their backs were soaked in cold sweat.
"Did we...survive?" a young girl trembled as she asked, her voice light as if afraid to disturb a nightmare.
"Not only did we survive," Zhuge Yu put away the Eight Trigrams Array Plate, a rare smile appearing on his pale face, "but we also slew a formidable enemy of Peak Tier Six."
He said while looking at Qin Tian, making a serious salute, "This time, thanks to Black Crow Examiner’s strong assistance."
Others only then awoke from their dreamlike state, all saluting and expressing gratitude.
The once disdainful glances at "Black Crow" now all turned into genuine admiration.
Qin Tian waved his hand, the voice from beneath the mask carrying laziness, "Don’t be so serious, I was just saving myself."
He bent down to pick up the Black Square Seal and Blood Demon Vessel dropped from the "Ghost", tossing them in his hand, "Though I’ll gladly take these spoils."
The familiar mercantile demeanor, instead, lightened the mood.
