Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

Chapter 696: Chapter 214: “Tian Shuang True Monarch Bestows Ning Lang with the Long Song of Slaying Evil

“Tian Shuang, you actually fell for this!” Di Gui’s face was extremely ugly.

His partner, reliable for many years, had now stood on the opposite side, an unprecedented occurrence!

Just now, Di Gui was still laughing at Tian Shuang’s predicament, but now he couldn’t laugh at all.

Tian Gui didn’t care about Di Gui’s heavy heart. He opened his mouth and spat out a bone ball.

The pale bone ball flew into the air, quickly extending and expanding, transforming into a skeletal door frame.

Within the door frame, a whirlpool formed, connecting to a snowy netherworld region, creating a Ghost Gate Pass.

Tian Shuang raised his head and let out a piercing wail.

The cry reached the other end of the door frame, immediately attracting a large number of Snow Bone Rakshasa and Ice Crystal Ghosts.

The two ghost groups formed a mixed ghost horde, swarming out and joining the battlefield.

As soon as they joined the battlefield, they used their abilities, rushing towards the underground Fire Evil Ghosts and Earth Melting Ghosts.

Both sides engaged in fierce combat underground, resulting in explosions, flying flames, and random ice shard shooting.

A large number of ghosts perished in the internal conflict, with the frost ghosts suffering greater losses due to lack of geographical advantage.

But Tian Shuang showed a face of Buddha Light, unconcerned, with his hands clasped in front of his chest, chanting, “Dust to dust, earth to earth, may you wicked ghosts and evil souls die deservedly, repaying your karmic debts, and return to the nature of heaven and earth. Go, go.”

“You idiot!” Di Hui couldn’t help but curse out loud, the great loss pained him immensely.

Tian Shuang smiled faintly, and slightly turned his head, addressing Ning Zhuo and the others, “You must understand, the heaven and earth combined attack between Di Hui and I is based on Divine Skills, and because of its overwhelming power, it is difficult for us to sustain ourselves.”

“Therefore, we often arrange the battlefield during combat, using the ghost gate pass magic treasure to connect to some netherworld region, releasing ghosts captured earlier. The more these ghosts remain on the battlefield, the more pressure they can bear for us.”

“We just performed a heaven and earth combined attack once. If these ghosts were removed prematurely, we wouldn’t be able to sustain a second time.”

“In doing so, it is tantamount to abolishing the second heaven and earth combined attack. Even if I fall back to the Demon Path, the previous catastrophe will no longer recur.”

“Ah, cultivation is not easy. Cultivating to the Nascent Soul level, how much effort and thought are exhausted. These cultivators died because of me, it’s truly a grave sin!”

Tian Shuang actively explained to others, revealing his combat secrets while continually repenting, leaving Liu Guanzhang and Ning feeling stunned.

Di Hui roared angrily, “Shut up!”

He didn’t want Tian Shuang to expose more secrets, and immediately gestured a finger technique, casting a spell.

Poisonous Evil Flame Stream!

The poisonous gas surged, the evil intent churned, converging into hundreds to nearly a thousand fire lines, slithering out from the depths of the earth like pythons and snakes.

The flame stream rampaged, attacking many Snow Bone Rakshasa and Ice Crystal Ghosts, and when it reached the Fire Evil Ghosts and Earth Melting Ghosts, it instead nourished and augmented their combat power.

Initially, there were only a few hundred streams of poisonous evil flame. Soon the number skyrocketed, surpassing the thousand threshold, starting to slightly alter the battlefield.

Tian Shuang sighed compassionately, “Di Hui, you can alter the battlefield, and I have my methods too.”

Spell—Xuan Yin Frozen Domain.

In an instant, the barrier that left a deep impression on Liu Guanzhang and Ning reappeared, enveloping the area within ten miles.

Inside the barrier, cold air raged, sinister and unpredictable.

The flame stream that was rampant was immediately suppressed within the barrier, becoming withered and weak.

Snow Bone Rakshasa and Ice Crystal Ghosts all received a boost from the cold air and Yin Qi, their momentum soared, once again engaging with the Earth Melting Ghosts and Fire Evil Ghosts on equal footing.

Tian Shuang raised his arm, and thousands of ice cones shot down, piercing the ghost horde, causing countless casualties.

The Earth Melting Ghosts and Fire Evil Ghosts suffered a devastating blow. They were either killed and eliminated by the ice cones on the spot or were trapped in a new ice cone through soul exchange.

“Tian Shuang, you moron!” witnessing this scene, Di Hui cursed furiously.

These Earth Melting Ghosts and Fire Evil Ghosts were also hard for him to subdue.

Now, they suffered heavy losses under their own people’s methods.

This made Di Gui extremely agitated, his expression becoming more twisted and hideous.

He took out a lantern, holding it in his hand.

Magic Treasure—Ghost Lantern!

As a Nascent Soul level ghost cultivator True Monarch, Di Gui naturally possessed this classic ghost cultivation magic treasure.

However, his Ghost Lantern differed greatly from Tian Shuang’s.

Tian Shuang’s Ghost Lantern imprisoned frost-type evil spirits. Di Gui’s magic treasure imprisoned fire and earth element ghosts.

Tian Shuang’s lantern was made of white paper and ice bones, while the one in Di Hui’s hand was made of charcoal bones and human skin.

On the yellow human skin, roast punishment diagram was intricately engraved.

The lantern slowly rotated, and where the light shone, various torture device illusions emerged, inflicting continuous damage on all targets within range.

Tian Shuang did not hesitate, also taking out his own Ghost Lantern.

For a moment, the ice prison light and roast punishment light battled, inflicting damage on each other.

Tian Shuang’s face was full of bitterness, “Di Hui, you are still harming others and resisting stubbornly. Wake up, awaken the goodness in your heart, you have fallen too deep into the Demon Path.”

Di Hui cursed, “Tian Shuang, you bastard, do you know what you are saying, what you are doing?!”

Tian Shuang raised his head, with a look of sacrificial compassion, “I am fighting for the common people!”

As he spoke, he summoned a magic treasure pipa.

The pipa was entirely made of ice crystals, and without anyone playing it, it emitted a series of mournful ghost wails.

The sound reached Di Hui, causing his soul body to feel cold, inducing a shiver.

Di Hui, enraged, also took out a waist drum, continuously beating it, producing crisp sounds that reached everyone’s hearts.
