The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 592 - 256: The Cage of Blood_3

Ye Liu, hiding in the Big Ghost Ape, didn’t dare to launch an all-out offense.

The Shadow Locust was a Fond Spirit of the dark type insect, an extremely powerful agile attacking spirit that complemented his abilities perfectively.

Annihilation Rank, this level was more than enough.

Even if all the major and minor ranks were the same, it wouldn’t be surprising if someone carelessly died under their feet.

Ye Hanjun... was he this fragile?

Wasn’t he at the 5th rank? How does this strength not match the expectations?

In the blink of an eye, Ye Liu furrowed his eyebrows.

However, Ye Hanjun didn’t show any surprise.

Mo was just at Perfection of the Life Wheel - in a Dominant State, he naturally could crush other Life Wheels at the Perfection level.

But to fight against a true Annihilation Rank’s Virtual Pull, even paying a huge price, the chances of success were infinitesimally small.

The Shadow Locust’s tier was in the upper-middle rank of the Extinction Degree Fetus. Wanting to undercut a higher rank was utterly delusional.

Ye Hanjun activated the ’Ring of Control’ for one purpose—to enhance his self-protection capabilities.

"Rustle, rustle, rustle..."

The roots beneath the ground were madly pulling in the natural elements around them, forcibly rebuilding the damaged flesh and blood.

The Shadow Locust made its third attempt to kill, moving faster, almost turning into a black flash of lightning.

Ye Hanjun suddenly smashed the ground with his tentacles, smashing all of the rocks around, then tossing them about.

At that moment, three marks lit up one after another.

Amidst the rolling dust, the first thing to break through the void was a golden flash.

"Swoosh!"

Huazhu instantly moved out of the chaos’ center, appearing behind the Big Ghost Ape within the blink of an eye.

Ye Liu was always highly alert and didn’t dare to be distracted.

Before the Big Ghost Ape could turn around to retort, Huazhu’s shadow was unexpectedly severed by another "black flash" identical in shape, charging forcefully towards Huazhu.

"Swish!"

Huazhu slightly shifted, dodging her own shadow.

The adults had made it clear, Ye Liu’s initial occupation was the D-level ’Silhouette Servant’. At the 4th Order, the greatest possibility was to become a C-level ’Silhouette Master’.

This profession was adept at controlling shadows.

If one wasn’t careful about their feet or their back, they could easily be killed by their own shadow.

If they managed to evade the fatal blow of the shadow, what remained was continuous entanglement, which was also an underrated control skill.

As per Ye Hanjun’s instructions, Huazhu gave up using ’Ultimate· Giant Devouring Tornado’, ’Wind Cry’, and the powerful Skill ’Wind Lingering Sword’ she had comprehended after advancing to Annihilation Rank’s Virtual Pull.

She entangled the Big Ghost Ape with ’Heavy Wind’ and used ’Wind of Lightness’ to enhance her own speed, only harassing and restraining, never recklessly attacking.

"A Witch of wind element?"

Ye Liu spat out a disdainful sound, suddenly severing the shadow of the Big Ghost Ape.

At this moment, two shadows, one big and one small, began to outflank Huazhu.

The Big Ghost Ape’s body didn’t just stand by either. It continuously reached out with its gigantic ghostly claws, attempting to knock the flying witch out of the sky.

The process was extremely perilous, every second a gamble.

With Huazhu’s fragile physical condition, if she was hit, she would definitely be gravely injured, without any chance of continuing the battle.

"Hahahaha! This great immortal will have a try with you!"

The Goose Immortal swooped down, intervening in the struggle between the ape and the witch.

Without thinking, Ye Liu severed Goose Immortal’s shadow, summoning extra fighting puppets.

But it turned out, the Big Black Goose and the witch were different.

With a flick of its wings, it sheds thousands of sword feathers.

At that instant, it soared with its swords, the blades forming a torrent, resonating with a deafening clash.

"Get out! As an extraordinary shadow of mine, return to wherever you came from!"

The sword feathers blindly charged, tearing the Goose Immortal’s shadow into pieces, re-forming it, tearing it again, re-forming it, a cycle that repeated five times.

On the sixth time, Ye Liu grunted in pain and decided to abandon this shadow.

The Big Ghost Ape screeched, its deafening squeals even reaching the ears of Goose Immortal and making his head hum.

"Where’s the little guy? Hurry up and deal with him!"

"Chu Chu... Gua!"

The ground opened up, and a gemstone earthworm shone as it burrowed out.

It was Yu Ruoxin’s Contracted Fond Spirit, but not its original form, rather it was a result of GuaGua’s ’Super Transforming’ skill.

Although it couldn’t use its skills, this type of Fond Spirits are extremely quick at burrowing underground, making them perfect for sneaking up on enemies.

"Gua Gua!!"

GuaGua transformed back into the form of Top Student Frog, first activated ’Thunderbolt Eye Drops’, stimulating Goose Immortal to unleash even stronger combat power.

Immediately, it summoned a blue Magic Book, pressing three handprints in succession.

These three sealed skills were all ’Ultimate·Giant Devouring Tornado’ that Little Black Hat re-inscribed after advancing to the position of the Extinction Degree Fetus.

The ranks were evenly matched, there was no decrease in strength whatsoever, three full versions of the wind elemental spell washed over the Big Ghost Ape and Ye Liu within him in a huge wave.

"Hiss! Roar!!!"

The Big Ghost Ape roared in wrath, trying to break free.

But as the casting distance was really close, it was indeed hard to predict in advance such a terrifying skill unleashed from GuaGua’s small body.

The Big Ghost Ape failed and was completely swallowed by the storm.

The distant Shadow Locust noticed that its master was being attacked and instead of rushing back to help, it pressed on, trying to take down Ye Hanjun first to claim the victory of Blood Halberd.

"Whoo~~~"

The heavy blows it received in rapid succession brought Mo to the brink of death, his consciousness completely unconscious.

The Ring of Control was automatically decrypted. Alone, Ye Hanjun did not hesitate for a moment and opened The Darkest Abyss, briefly concealing himself within his own Law-Figure-World.

"Hahaha, Human Master, are these your people? They look pretty useless to me!"

On the other side, the storm gradually subsided.

The Big Ghost Ape wasn’t entirely made of flesh and blood, and had an advantage in terms of rank.

Even though all three Ultimate·Giant Devouring Tornado spells were direct hits, it only made it stagger, its body riddled with horrific wounds.

But... Huazhu and Goose Immortal, were waiting for it!

Wind transformed into swords, steel feathers into blades, blocking the Big Ghost Ape’s escape routes from left to right.

The Shadow Locust became anxious. Its rank was indeed far higher, but The Darkest Abyss originated from the A-level authority.

Even if Ye Hanjun had not reached the 5th Rank, he still held considerable power over the dark laws/principles in his Law-Figure-World and wasn’t our prey to slaughter at will.

After several attempts, the Shadow Locust, unable to locate Ye Hanjun, turned around and rushed out of the abyss to aid its master.

What it encountered was Huazhu’s ’Slow Vortex’.

This vortex clung to the feet of the Big Ghost Ape, slowing its reaction speed and forming an additional barrier to obstruct the Shadow Locust’s approach.

Goose Immortal laughed heartily, pressing right in front of the Big Ghost Ape, and relying on his strong feathers and thick skin, began to fight aggressively.

"For cutting my shadow! For cutting my shadow!"

"I train my followers every day, I have plenty of shadows!"

"Too bad, if you were stronger, you could’ve seen them, but now... By missing the first opportunity, you’ve lost everything. Lay down obediently for me!"
