Chapter 126: Deceiving Ghost Eye Array

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

She unleashed her divine ability, Lightning Palm!

A thick bolt of lightning shot out from Meng Ruyan’s hand and flew towards the horse-headed ghost.

The lightning was so fast that the horse-headed ghost had no time to dodge the attack. It was struck by the Lightning Palm.

“Neigh!”

Lightning attacks were undoubtedly very effective against ghosts.

Therefore, even though Meng Ruyan’s attack was just a test, it still made the horse-headed ghost scream.

However, despite its screams, the probing Lightning Palm did not cause much damage to the ghost.

Then, the angry ghost picked up the machete in its hand and walked towards Meng Ruyan.

Boom!

As the horse-headed ghost moved, the surrounding ground suddenly shook violently.

With every step it took, a deep pit would appear under its feet.

It was apparent how shocking its weight was.

As it walked, the horse-headed ghost suddenly started running.

At the same time, the dozen or so hungry ghosts around it also began to rush towards them.

The three of them tacitly split up.

Meng Ruyan went to deal with the horse-headed ghost while Lu Yuan dealt with the hungry ghosts to the right. There were six of them.

Zhuang Yangbing was responsible for dealing with the seven hungry ghosts on the left.

Due to the huge fog in the Gates of Hell that had a strong suppression effect on the spiritual energy of cultivators, it was much more difficult to fly on a sword here than under normal circumstances.

Thus, Lu Yuan did not choose to ride a flying sword. Instead, he ran towards a wall.

Then, the geometric compass in his hand spun, and a five-elemental array immediately expanded outwards.

It enveloped the six hungry ghosts that were charging at him.

The moment these hungry ghosts entered the array, they looked around in confusion as if they couldn’t see Lu Yuan.

Then, Lu Yuan’s left hand slid over the compass. The six hungry ghosts actually began to attack each other.

Zhuang Yangbing noticed the commotion over here.

He was secretly shocked by Lu Yuan’s amazing array technique.

With such outstanding attainments in arrays, could it be that this kid was really an array master?

Was Lu Yuan truly not a cultivator who hid most of his strength like what he had speculated?

Unless this guy was some kind of monster that only appeared once in a millennium, it would take decades of rigorous cultivation for a person to cultivate array techniques to this level,

Not to mention that Lu Yuan seemed to have a pretty good proficiency in Pill Refinement Technique.

Zhuang Yangbing definitely did not believe that Lu Yuan had so much energy to commit to so many things at the same time!

Didn’t he need to sleep?

Just as Lu Yuan was dealing with the six hungry ghosts with ease, Zhuang Yangbing also displayed his strength.

He drew the bow in his hand, and a large number of blood-red arrows began to gather on his bow, finally condensing into five blood-red arrows.

Moreover, each of these arrows had the power of Level 5 of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

As Zhuang Yangbing released his bowstring, five blood arrows flew out.

Although three of them did not hit the hungry ghosts’ vital points, he landed two headshots on two of the hungry ghosts.

The two hungry ghosts instantly turned into ashes amidst miserable screams.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan sneered in his heart.

“Tsk! Keep up the act! Did he think that I couldn’t tell that he deliberately missed three arrows? He is obviously worried that he’ll end the battle too quickly and won’t be able to slack off.”

However, Zhuang Yangbing was not the only one who was a rascal.

Lu Yuan also had the means to instantly kill these hungry ghosts, but he still pretended to be stalled by them.

He was the pot calling the kettle black.

As the two rascals were showcasing their acting skills, Meng Ruyan was doing her best to deal real damage.

Boom! Boom!

In the empty backyard, the horse-headed ghost swung its huge machete and kept slashing at Meng Ruyan.

However, compared to the slow horse-headed ghost, Meng Ruyan’s speed was much faster.

As a result, it was difficult for its attacks to land.

On the other hand, Meng Ruyan started to relax after testing the horse-headed ghost’s strength.

The Qingyun Sword, which was wrapped in lightning, kept parrying the horse-headed ghosts attacks.

Although the horse-headed ghost was protected by armor and ghost qi, for some reason, Meng Ruyan’s attacks could easily penetrate its defense.

The horse-headed ghost roared in anger, but it couldn’t land a hit on Meng Ruyan.

Not long after, a large number of wounds appeared on the horse-headed ghost’s body, and its aura began to weaken.

Seeing this, Meng Ruyan knew that the horse-headed ghost was reaching its limit.

She prepared to deliver the final blow.

However, at this moment, the horse-headed ghost that was supposed to attack Meng Ruyan suddenly rushed towards the corpses of the hungry ghosts.

As it did, it ignored Meng Ruyan’s attacks.

Meng Ruyan had a bad feeling. She raised her hand.

She unleashed another divine ability, Five Thunders of Yang!

Boom!

A huge bolt of lightning instantly fell from the horse-headed ghost’s head.

The power of this lightning bolt far exceeded that of the Lightning Palm.

“Neigh!”

The horse-headed ghost neighed and spat out a Ghost Pearl from its mouth.

The Ghost Pearl released a large amount of death aura, forming a black protective barrier around the horse-headed ghost, barely blocking Meng Ruyan’s attack.

Then, it picked up the corpses of the hungry ghosts on the ground and began to gobble them up.

Amidst the terrifying chewing sounds, the horse-headed ghost quickly ate the corpses of the five hungry ghosts on the ground.

Then, as Meng Ruyan watched with a serious look on her face, its body began to change.

Its body began to rot, and its skin and teeth began to fall off its face. Soon, the white bones on its right cheek were exposed, making it look extremely terrifying.

Apart from that, the horse-headed ghost’s stomach actually split open and a human face emerged.

Noticing the situation, Lu Yuan immediately looked at the horse-headed ghost’s information.

[Horse-headed Ghost, Preta Path (Fallen)]

[Cultivation: Pseudo Core Stage]

[Description: A horse-headed ghost that chose to completely fall into the Preta Path has received a huge boost and has been reduced to a monster that only cares about eating.]

At the same time, Meng Ruyan’s face was no longer as relaxed as before when she realized that the horseman’s aura was getting more and more terrifying.

She took a deep breath and a peach wood sword flew out from her storage pouch.

There were obvious scorch marks on the peach wood sword, as if it had been struck by lightning.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan also decided to act.

This Pseudo Core Stage horse-headed ghost was not something that ordinary cultivators could deal with.

Although he believed that Meng Ruyan should be able to deal with it, Lu Yuan felt that even if she won in the end, she would still suffer some injuries.

In their current situation, compared to Zhuang Yangbing, who seemed to be cooperative on the surface, Lu Yuan undoubtedly trusted Demoness Meng more.

Lu Yuan suddenly produced the Mountain River Painting in his right hand.

While Zhuang Yangbing and Meng Ruyan were distracted by the horse-headed ghost, Lu Yuan’s Mountain River Painting immediately spread out and fused with the ground under his feet.

Deceiving Ghost Eye Array!

[Deceiving Ghost Eye Array: This array can rely on the surrounding environment to affect the enemy’s five senses, thereby deceiving the enemy’s sense of direction.]

[Note: It is only effective on cultivators with divine souls below the Golden Core Stage and the Emptiness Realm.]

Although the horse-headed ghost was quite powerful, it had not reached the Core Formation Stage, and its divine soul had yet to reach the Emptiness Realm!
