133: The Cursed Bride in Red

Five women dressed in blood-red wedding gowns suddenly appeared before them.

A powerful cold wind and baleful yin energy permeated the air around them.

Due to their appearance, a layer of shadow cast over the bright sky above the Holy Sons Palace.

The Ghost Bride in front wore a red gauze veil; her bright red wedding gown was adorned with pearls that shone brilliantly, though some were stained with a bit of blood.

Her slender jade-like hands appeared quite large, even a size larger than Su Wen's, yet it did not detract from her beauty.

In her hands, she held a long saber, about 1.6 meters long, resembling a Tang Dao in appearance and colored in a netherworld hue.

Incomprehensible runes were carved onto the blade, along with patterns of Ox-Head and Horse-Face; the hilt also featured two ghostly illustrations, one black and one white.

The long saber emitted an aura of death and evil.

As the Ghost Bride held it, her nearly two-meter-tall frame looked particularly striking.

Beneath her feet were one yellow, one purple, and three black spirit rings—a configuration of five spirit rings that surpassed ordinary people.

"Her Spirit is actually a long saber."

Ye Yuaner was somewhat surprised; it was truly rare for a woman to have a saber Spirit.

Looking at those five great spirit rings, and seeing that the other Ghost Brides had the same spirit ring configuration as Little Wen, she felt satisfied; only Little Wen could possess five absolutely loyal Spirit King subordinates.

"The Spirit is yet another existence I've never seen before!"

There were Spirit Masters in the Spirit Hall who used sabers, but Bibi Dong was certain there were none with a long saber of this shape.

Bi Ji, however, focused her attention on all the Ghost Brides.

Same Soul Power, same spirit ring configuration.

Different auras meant they were different individuals.

Bi Ji had always thought Little Wen only had three Ghost Brides; she hadn't expected there to be five.

Moreover, the fifth one seemed to have just appeared.

Bi Ji had some questions she wanted to ask, but after hesitating for a moment, she ultimately remained silent.

Now was not the time; she would find an opportunity to talk to Su Wen alone later.

"What is your Spirit?"

Su Wen had learned his lesson this time and directly asked for the Ghost Bride's Spirit name.

As soon as he finished speaking, several lines of blood-red text appeared before them.

[Suppresses the combat power of the darkness attribute by twenty percent.]

"What do you mean? I'm asking for your Spirit's name?"

[Suppresses the combat power of the darkness attribute by twenty percent!]

The blood-red text vanished and reappeared, still showing the same words as before.

Ye Yuaner said, "Little Wen, she means that her Spirit suppresses the combat power of the darkness attribute by twenty percent. That should be it; she's introducing her Spirit's information to you."

Bibi Dong frowned slightly, and Bi Ji also looked surprised.

"Is that what Aunt Ye said?" Su Wen asked, somewhat uncertain; if a Spirit came with its own innate ability, it was indeed quite special.

[Yes!]

Looking at the red text, the group fell into silence. Su Wen asked curiously, "Tell me about your Spirit Abilities."

Line after line of red text appeared. Although Su Wen didn't get the Spirit's name, he received the basic information about the Spirit.

Red Garment's First Soul Skill: Can perform twelve consecutive Teleportation within a hundred meters. Each Teleportation leaves an afterimage of herself in place, while movement speed increases by 150%.

The Second Soul Skill is the same as Hong Dou's and the others.

The third soul skill slashes twelve paths of Saber Qi, each carrying baleful yin energy. Attack damage is increased to 150%, and the final strike triggers an explosion. Once the enemy is wounded, the baleful yin energy will continuously corrode their body from the wound; the opponent can only resist with Soul Power and cannot clear it unless they are ten levels higher. Darkness attribute damage is doubled.

The Fourth Soul Skill produces Clones; she can currently produce five, with one more Clone for every ten levels gained thereafter.

Clones possess 75% of the original's combat power. If a Clone is destroyed, it triggers a localized explosion, with extra damage to the darkness attribute.

The Ghost Bride's fifth Spirit Ability requires two seconds of charging to slash out a hundred-meter blood-colored Saber Qi, which includes armor penetration and reduces enemy defense by 60%, with extra damage to the darkness attribute.

Every one of her Spirit Abilities was very strong, and the damage against the darkness attribute would even double. Coupled with a Spirit trait that forcibly suppressed darkness-type combat power by twenty percent, Su Wen thought of the Dragon Slaying Saber created by the Dragon God to manage the Dragon Clan.

The Dragon Slaying Saber was also specifically designed against the Dragon Clan, possessing a Bloodline suppression over them.

This one might as well be called the Ghost Slaying Saber.

"I'll call you Red Garment from now on. I want to see your combat power now."

As Su Wen spoke, he directly summoned A Xie.

As a cloud of black mist drifted out, A Xie stepped out from the fog.

Su Wen stated his purpose, and Battle Intent surged within A Xie as she looked at Ghost Bride Red Garment.

"Specially counters darkness? I've really never seen that. My darkness includes the power of the Evil God and evil itself!"

A playful, wicked smile appeared on A Xie's face.

Ghost Bride Red Garment said nothing, only silently gripping the hilt of her saber.

Ye Yuaner and Bibi Dong did not stop them; they also wanted to see if this saber could counter all darkness.

Su Wen recalled the other Ghost Brides and then cleared some space for them.

"Keep it within limits!"

Su Wen reminded them, feeling a bit uneasy.

"No problem!"

A Xie moved first as her first spirit ring glowed briefly.

She was like an arrow shot from a bow, instantly arriving in front of Ghost Bride Red Garment.

Red Garment swung her long saber, the blade flashing with a cold light in the air. As it slashed down, A Xie's right hand instantly transformed into a beastly claw at extreme speed, colliding with the long saber and creating a shower of sparks.

A Xie's expression changed slightly; her attack power had been significantly weakened.

It really did counter her!

A Xie quickly jumped back, turning into an afterimage as she landed and subsequently vanishing without a trace.

This was the concealment ability of A Xie's first Spirit Ability, completely masking her aura to find a suitable opportunity for a fatal strike.

Ghost Bride Red Garment stood in place holding her long saber like a puppet. A Xie couldn't take it anymore and appeared directly from Red Garment's side, her speed increasing greatly as she swiped with her claws.

Red Garment's second spirit ring rotated slightly, and her entire body entered a Ghost Souls ethereal state; A Xie's attack passed right through her body.

"Dammit, I'm done playing with you!"

"Darkness · Devour!"

A Xie's attack missed, and with a fierce look in her eyes, her purple spirit ring rotated rapidly.

A black orb appeared in her palm in an instant, quickly evolving into an abyssal black hole.

The black hole emitted a dark, cold aura.

Wind-attribute power and spatial force forcibly tugged at Red Garment's body, attempting to pull her into the black hole.

Even in an ethereal state, she was still firmly locked on.

Red Garment's fourth spirit ring rotated quickly, and her body split into five. One of the Clones rushed into the black hole and instantly self-destructed; before the aftershocks could even appear, the black hole had already swallowed the resulting force.

Three Red Garments disappeared from their spots simultaneously, reappearing behind A Xie as three long sabers slashed down.

A Xie's reaction was also fast, as she fiercely swiped her claws.

Upon collision, a wave of Soul Power exploded between them.

A Xie tumbled through the air once before landing steadily.

"Fifth Spirit Ability..."
