The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 260 - 258: All Hopes Turn to Ash

Chapter 260: Chapter 258: All Hopes Turn to Ash

The Asura Puppet Ghost suddenly let out a sly laugh, and black smoke chains rose from its body like a raging fire, extending to entangle the Ghost Binding Chains.

The Soul Hook Horse Face Array, halfway through its empowerment, froze in shock. By the time it tried to withdraw, it was too late. Four or five black smoke chains had wrapped around it, immobilising it completely.

Shen Luo saw this and was also surprised. He suddenly discovered that where the Soul Hook Horse Face was entangled, thin black threads began to appear, weaving into a web-like structure on their own.

He glanced at the black cocoon hanging upside down from the top of the cave and immediately understood. The Asura Puppet Ghost intended to seal the Soul Hook Horse Face within the cocoon, and transform it into a monstrous shell.

“Damn it!”

Shen Luo cursed silently as he struggled to stand upright, and hastily held onto a Thunderfall Talisman.

However, before he could take action, the Asura Puppet Ghost suddenly jerked its head towards him.

At this point, its crimson eyes had turned pitch-black, and the red gemstone embedded in its golden helmet suddenly lit up.

Sensing danger, Shen Luo immediately jumped aside.

And it was just as he had anticipated, the moment he reacted, the red gemstone in the vertical eye of the golden helmet flashed and a beam of blood-red light shot out, hitting the spot where Shen Luo had stood just a moment ago.

An explosive “boom” sound resonated from the impact!

The ball of blood light exploded, transforming into a powerful shockwave that burst in all directions.

Although Shen Luo had evaded in advance, he was still affected by the explosion, causing him to be blast high into the air.

“Die.”

The Asura Puppet Ghost cried out, and the red gemstone flashed again.

Another more powerful, blood-red light beam shot out, directly targeting Shen Luo who was still suspended in the air, determined to annihilate him with one blow.

Unable to find any leverage mid-air, Shen Luo naturally found it difficult to dodge.

But right at that moment, his figure mysteriously surged forward, enveloped by a layer of green light, making an impossible lateral flight in the void, easily avoiding the red light.

Before the Asura Puppet Ghost could comprehend what had happened, with the help of the Flying Talisman, Shen Luo swiftly swooped, fluttering without touching the ground, to its back.

His gaze focused, and with a sudden slap of his palm, two glimmering green Thunderfall Talismans gripped in his hand were imbued with his Mana and activated simultaneously.

Accompanied by two booming thunderclaps, two robust white flashes of lightning lit up the cave, crisscrossing as they struck the Asura Puppet Ghost.

The aftereffects of the explosion caused Shen Luo to be blasted off his feet, sending him sprawling heavily on the ground.

From his usage of the two Thunderfall Talismans together, his Dantian was nearly depleted of Mana, leaving his body feeble. For a moment, he didn’t even have the strength to stand up.

Amidst the overwhelming thunderous roar, the intertwined lightning formed an unusual spherical shape.

“BOOM”

The spherical lightning exploded a second time, releasing a power far beyond its initial impact. Beams of electric threads erupted from it, promptly tearing apart the Asura Puppet Ghost’s body.

The wind demon’s body reappeared, also affected by the aftermath of the lightning, tiny electric sparks continuously lighting up its entire body, emitting explosive rumblings, its black and red demonic aura constantly being scattered.

The black smoke chains wrapped around the Soul Hook Horse Face had already broken, yet even after escaping, it dared not approach immediately, after all, as a Yin God, it was extremely averse to such governing and powerful lightning.

At this time, the wind demon, in the center of the electric filaments, suddenly let out a sharp howl, a burst of black light surrounding it, transforming into a black whirlwind, rushing into the cave passageway howling and roaring.

“You shall not escape!” The Soul Hook Horse Face roared, immediately chasing after it.

After a brief rest, Shen Luo managed to recover some strength, struggling to his feet, he too wanted to give chase.

At this time, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the two Demon Subduing Pestles lying near the body of the puppet Asura ghost on the ground, and quickly bent down to pick them up.

However, after a quick inspection, he found that the spear-tipped one thrown by the ghost puppet was still intact, but the other one, resembling a lantern on both ends, was completely destroyed.

Shen Luo put away the spear-tipped Demon Subduing Pestle and unsteadily followed into the passageway.

Outside the cave, the Bai Family members had already completed the extermination of all the white bones and corpse scarab ghost bats, but their losses were also substantial.

Other than the White Water Daoist, the guest official who was proficient in the puppet technique of the Creation Sect had also been killed by the red-haired zombie. Including Feng Ling, all other Qi Refining guest officials had fallen, losing their fighting strength.

At this point, only Bai Hecheng, Bai Jiangfeng, Xie Yuxin, and Fifth Grandma – these Grain Avoidance cultivators were left, their bodies covered with wounds and fighting valiantly against the red-haired zombies and White Bone Skulls.

Bai Hecheng, with his face covered in black lines akin to theatrical makeup, was engaged in close combat with the red-haired zombies, wielding a jet-black spear, possibly due to his use of some God-calling technique.

Fifth Grandma was providing ranged support from the side, constantly attacking and harassing the zombies with flying needles and daggers.

On the other hand, Xie Yuxin was engaged in close combat with the bone sword-wielding white bone skull, while Bai Jiangfeng provided support with magical instruments and talismans from the side. Both parties were suffering significant losses, resulting in a battle of endurance.

Just then, a gust of wind rose from the cave in the mountainside as the black wind demon swept out, rushing towards Bai Hecheng.

Alarmed, Bai Hecheng quickly held his spear to counteract the demon wind.

However, having been exhausted from the earlier struggle, his mana was almost depleted, the black markings on his face started to fade, and the glimmer of cold light on his spear was extinguished before it could fully manifest.

There was a muffled “bang”, and his figure was blown away, crashing heavily to the ground.

Then, as the demon wind swept up the battlefield, sending up dunes wherever it went, Bai Jiangfeng and the others were knocked to the ground one after the other.

“It’s over…” The spirit that everyone had been relying on was completely shattered.

However, to their surprise, after knocking them down, the demon wind did not go in for the kill, but instead flew directly up into the upper sky, crashing headlong into the glooming clouds above the valley.

Next, another figure burst out from the cave, before everyone could get a good look, it rose on a cloud of black fog, also darting into the gloomy clouds at high altitude.

A flurry of fierce combat sounds immediately burst forth from the high altitude.

At this time, the red-haired zombie turned its rigid skull around, took a leap, landing next to Bai Hecheng, plunged its straight arms down, taking a direct stab at his chest.

On the other side, the White Bone Skull, still clutching its Bone Sword, lunged at Xie Yuxin’s heart.

Everyone was powerless against these attacks, completely devastated.
