53: Chapter 53 Earthly Fiend Soul-Scattering Curse

"Who is it! Get out here!"

Ghost General Ying Ci's voice was sharp and piercing, echoing over the Mass Grave.

He scanned his surroundings, but saw nothing except the ashes left behind after the Ghost Soldiers had dissipated.

Wu Li, who had activated the Formation, had silently retreated into the shadows further away long before the golden light faded, completely concealing his presence.

In the distance, Wu Li chanted the incantation, his Demon Power seeping into the ground.

"Earthly Fiend Yin Wind, Blood Light Soul Capture, Curse released, soul dispersed, ten thousand fiends gather..."

The Earthly Fiend Soul-Dispersing Curse was not an instantaneous spell; it required one to use their own power to invoke the Earthly Fiend and gather its strength for a single, fatal blow. The only drawback of this technique was that it required time to invoke the Earthly Fiend.

Over here.

Ghost General Ying Ci's gaze was like lightning.

But he simply could not find who was plotting against him.

His gaze slowly shifted, finally landing on the precarious Ghost Domain deep within the Mass Grave.

"Dammit!"

"That person is your helper, right!"

"I'll drag you out first, and I don't believe he won't come out!"

Ghost General Ying Ci roared, his figure shooting toward Su Wanyue's Ghost Domain like an arrow. His right claw reached out violently, Ghost Qi condensing in his palm to form a massive grey-black claw that slammed fiercely against the light barrier of the Ghost Domain!

"Boom!"

The Ghost Domain shook violently, and cracks appeared on the light barrier, like glass about to shatter.

Su Wanyue groaned within the Ghost Domain. Her figure was shaken out from underground, her bright red wedding dress fluttering in the Yin Qi, her blood-red eyes filled with anger and unwillingness.

Ghost General Ying Ci hovered above the Ghost Domain, looking down at Su Wanyue from a high vantage point, a cruel smile hanging on the corners of his mouth.

"Hide, why don't you hide anymore?"

Su Wanyue gritted her teeth, her blood-red eyes staring fixedly at Ghost General Ying Ci. Ghostly Demonic Aura surged around her. She knew she was no match for Ghost General Ying Ci, but having reached this point, there was no turning back.

"Stop the nonsense!"

Su Wanyue waved her arms, and the Ghostly Demonic Aura transformed into countless blood-red threads, shooting toward Ghost General Ying Ci like a rainstorm.

The threads were as sharp as blades, tearing through the air wherever they passed and emitting a sharp whistling sound.

Ghost General Ying Ci's figure flashed, lightly dodging the attack of the threads. Those threads struck the tombstone behind him, cutting the stone tablet into fragments.

"Too slow."

Without the constraints of the Formation, Ghost General Ying Ci's strength had returned to its normal level.

Almost instantly.

Ghost General Ying Ci's voice came from behind Su Wanyue.

"Boom!"

Su Wanyue turned abruptly, Ghostly Demonic Aura condensing in her palm, and she struck out with a palm, but Ghost General Ying Ci was no longer there.

His figure moved like a phantom around Su Wanyue, appearing left and right, front and back. Every one of Su Wanyue's attacks struck empty air.

Su Wanyue took a deep breath of Yin Qi. As the moonlight spilled onto her, the power of moonlight surged into her body, and her aura began to climb; her speed, strength, and reflexes were all elevated by a notch.

"Boom!!"

The blood-red threads became denser and sharper, shooting toward Ghost General Ying Ci like a downpour.

A trace of disdain flashed in Ghost General Ying Ci's eyes.

"Nothing more than this!!"

"Break!!"

He no longer dodged, waving his right claw. The Ghost Qi transformed into a grey-black blade of light, cutting the sky full of blood-red threads into two. There was a gap in cultivation between the two, and since Ghost General Ying Ci was a former military general, his combat experience was on a completely different level.

Su Wanyue's attacks were like paper in front of him.

"The Moon Yin Body is nothing more than this."

Ghost General Ying Ci's triumphant voice appeared, then his figure flashed, appearing beside Su Wanyue, and he clawed at her shoulder.

Su Wanyue dodged sideways, but Ghost General Ying Ci's speed was too fast. The tip of his claw still grazed her shoulder, tearing off a piece of her wedding dress and leaving three deep, bloody scratches on her soul body.

Su Wanyue groaned and retreated, but Ghost General Ying Ci followed like a shadow, claw after claw, each strike leaving new wounds on her body.

Su Wanyue fought back desperately, using blood-red threads, Ghost claws, and Yin Qi in turn, but Ghost General Ying Ci was like a slippery loach, always able to easily avoid her attacks and then land a fierce claw in her openings.

"Dammit!!"

From cautious probing to long-range bombardment, Su Wanyue had been suppressed the entire time.

Her wedding dress was torn to shreds, the wounds on her soul body were increasing, and her Ghostly Demonic Aura began to become chaotic.

Ghost General Ying Ci, however, became more relaxed as he fought, a cold smile always hanging on the corners of his mouth, as if he were teasing a trapped beast.

"Is that all you've got?"

Ghost General Ying Ci knocked Su Wanyue back with a claw and laughed shrilly, "To have the Moon Yin Body fall into your hands is truly a waste of a heavenly treasure."

Su Wanyue gritted her teeth, her blood-red eyes filled with anger and unwillingness, but her attacks still couldn't hit Ghost General Ying Ci, and every counterattack from him caused her injury upon injury.

Fortunately, at this moment...

Just as Ghost General Ying Ci was feeling triumphant, a hoarse voice came from the night sky.

"If a hunter only has eyes for the prey, they will also become the prey, you know."

Ghost General Ying Ci's pupils contracted violently, his entire body's Ghost Qi exploded, his figure retreated several zhang, and he shrieked sharply.

"Who!"

No one answered him.

What answered him was the tremor of the earth beneath his feet.

"Hum~~"

The ground of the Mass Grave shook violently.

Wu Li crouched on a stone pillar in the distance, his entire body suffused with blood light, blood-colored scriptures emerging from beneath his feathers, circling his body, the scarlet light interweaving with the Earthly Fiend Qi.

"Obliterate!!!"

As Wu Li's words fell.

Ghost General Ying Ci's pupils contracted violently.

He felt a terrifying power condensing beneath his feet.

He wanted to escape, but it was already too late.

"Boom!!"

With a massive tremor, the Earthly Fiend Qi surged from all directions, trapping him in the center like an invisible giant hand, tightly gripping his throat.

"No!!"

Ghost General Ying Ci let out a shrill roar, the Ghost Qi within his body surging wildly, attempting to break through the encirclement of the Earthly Fiend Qi.

But the Earthly Fiend Qi, mixed with Wu Li's Demon Power and using the Blood Eye Pagoda Sutra as a guide, was far more powerful than he had imagined. His Ghost Qi dissipated rapidly under the erosion of the Earthly Fiend Qi, like ice and snow meeting a raging fire, completely unable to resist.

"Boom!! Finally."

The Earthly Fiend Qi completely covered Ghost General Ying Ci, swallowing his figure entirely.

A moment later, the mist dispersed.

On the ground, only a pile of grey-black ash remained, scattered by the night wind. Ghost General Ying Ci's aura had completely disappeared.

Wu Li put away his Blood Pupil. The consumption of the Earthly Fiend Soul-Dispersing Curse was too great; almost all of his Demon Power had been drained, but looking at that pile of ash, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Finally done."

At this moment.

Su Wanyue drifted down from mid-air, her bright red wedding dress almost completely shattered. What could be seen and what shouldn't be seen, Wu Li saw clearly...

Wu Li was indeed a demon, but with such beautiful scenery before him, if he didn't take a couple of looks, it would seem he was a bit unappreciative of the romance of the moment...

But Su Wanyue did not notice the gaze of a crow.

She just felt, what on earth was this crow doing, moving left and right in front of her for no good reason.

Regarding this.

Su Wanyue still didn't pay any attention.

"I really didn't expect that you, this crow, would be so powerful."

Wu Li glanced at Su Wanyue, his bean-sized black pupils devoid of expression. For the sake of the scenery... no, the treasure on the stone platform, he could still tolerate this female ghost.
