The female ghost’s strength was formidable, but she was also deeply wary of Mo Fan’s lightning power. She possessed the full cultivation of a Ghost Ancestor yet could not fully unleash it.
Mo Fan was equally cautious of her. He could only hide his body within the thunder clouds, not daring to show himself for fear that a momentary lapse would allow her to teleport and inflict serious injury.
However, after observing for a moment, he noticed her dread of lightning power and soon devised a plan.
After fighting for a while, he pretended that his demonic power was depleted. Without absolute demonic power to sustain it, the Thunder Emperor Dharma Idol divine ability collapsed with a boom. Mo Fan, his face deathly pale, plummeted from the sky.
The female ghost was overjoyed at the sight and vanished from her position in an instant.
Mo Fan seized the opportunity, frantically circulating his wind and thunder power. The dim lightning mark on his forehead once again became brilliantly radiant, with endless thunder madly surging forth!
Divine ability: Wind Thunder Purple Lightning!
“Ah!!”
The female ghost appeared, only to instantly fall into the trap Mo Fan had prepared for her.
The emergence of Wind Thunder Purple Lightning turned the area several miles around Mo Fan into a thunder prison!
Lightning was inherently the utmost yang power, perfectly countering the female ghost’s utmost yin body. It caused her to scream in agony as she tried to retreat.
Mo Fan shouted loudly, “Astonishing Thunder!”
“Roar…”
A bolt of lightning streaked from afar, transforming into a thunder beast that directly slammed the female ghost, who was about to escape the thunder prison, back inside!
Divine ability: Hand of the Thunder God!
Mo Fan roared angrily. Thunder encircled his body, and an enormous hand of thunder emerged, grabbing the female ghost firmly.
The continuous thunder strikes disrupted the aura on the female ghost’s body, preventing her from teleporting in time. Mo Fan seized this chance to deploy Tiger Enslavement. Several golden divine chains shot out from the tiger pattern on his forehead.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh…
The sound of piercing the air rang out in waves. The female ghost’s body was easily penetrated.
“No!!”
Upon seeing the golden divine chains, the female ghost let out a despairing roar.
She had once been captured by Bai Xiaosu in the same way and was naturally all too familiar with it.
Seeing the soul chains successfully lock onto her body, Mo Fan was overjoyed and immediately activated the divine ability to drag her back.
However, he had still underestimated the power of a Ghost Ancestor. Even though she was severely injured, he could not pull her back quickly. Not only that, the female ghost opened her mouth and inhaled fiercely. Countless surrounding ghost cultivators exploded, turning into streams of pure ghostly aura that entered her mouth.
“Clatter…”
The female ghost’s body shook. The golden soul chains immediately rattled loudly. Then, she vanished from her spot, attempting to break free using teleportation.
Yet even though she successfully teleported, she remained firmly bound by the soul chains.
Thus, a bizarre scene appeared on the battlefield. Mo Fan stood within the thunder prison, with several golden soul chains extending from the tiger pattern on his forehead into the distant void, but the female ghost they bound was nowhere to be seen.
Seeing this, Mo Fan could not help frowning deeply. Then, masses of ghostly mist flew out from his forehead one after another, all merging into the golden divine chains and turning into dark shadows that travelled along them.
Mo Fan’s idea was simple. Since I alone cannot capture you, I will mobilise all my slave ghosts and use their power against you!
A Ghost Ancestor might be strong, but if swarmed by a vast number of King realm slave ghosts, she would still struggle.
After all, Mo Fan’s slave ghosts were not like the masterless ghost cultivators here. Although masterless ones were powerful, they would be naturally suppressed when facing a Ghost Ancestor of higher realm. Mo Fan’s slave ghosts were different. Bound by the rules of the divine ability, they had to fight desperately, regardless of whether she was a Ghost Ancestor.
After deploying a large number of slave ghosts, the golden soul chains finally moved again, dragging her back little by little.
“No!!”
In the end, the female ghost was pulled out from the void. She screamed with a face full of horror while endless slave ghosts harassed her relentlessly, preventing her from focusing on contending with Mo Fan.
Whether ghost cultivators or slave ghosts, both could feed on soul power and ghostly aura. Although slave ghosts could not breakthrough in cultivation this way, under the frenzied devouring of countless slave ghosts, even the female Ghost Ancestor could not help feeling fear.
“Roar!!”
Upon seeing her appear, the thunder beast formed from Astonishing Thunder actively pounced over. Its massive body repeatedly slammed into her, ultimately accelerating the process of her capture.
Finally, after a brief stalemate, the female ghost was taken into Mo Fan’s slave ghost space.
After accomplishing this, Mo Fan sensed two terrifying auras rapidly approaching from afar. Frightened, he immediately fled at full speed.
Naturally, the ones chasing him were the two Ghost Ancestors who had arrived later.
Upon sensing the female Ghost Ancestor’s defeat, they hurried over together, turning the situation into a chase between Mo Fan and them.
During this, Mo Fan was nearly intercepted several times, but he ultimately escaped.
He did not know how long he fled, but gradually he noticed that the two Ghost Ancestors were deliberately preventing him from approaching two specific places. This immediately gave him a guess.
Those two places must hold something unusual. Perhaps one of them contained the trapped Yun Rou!
Realising this, Mo Fan charged directly towards one of those locations.
Sure enough, the two Ghost Ancestors soon reappeared. Their speed was unbelievably fast as they teleported over to surround and kill him.
Seeing this, Mo Fan became even more certain of his guess. No longer caring to hide his strength, he erupted fully!
Divine ability: Chi Dragon Transformation!
“Ang!!”
In the next moment, Mo Fan transformed into a blood-coloured chi dragon dozens of zhang long. His blood energy soared, nearly comparable to mid-Ancestral realm. With a single breath, he spat out dragon breath, forcing the two Ghost Ancestors to retreat.
As a dragon species, the chi dragon was inherently an utmost yang demon, naturally countering yin and evil entities like ghosts.
Coupled with Mo Fan’s wind and thunder power attached to his body, he became even more fearless.
After transforming into a chi dragon, he fought one against two. Although he could not defeat the two Ghost Ancestors, he did not fall into a disadvantage.
The two Ghost Ancestors were indeed powerful, but defeating him was not easy either.
After the transformation, the dragon aura on Mo Fan’s body multiplied. Even his protective dragon aura alone was not easily breached.
However, as the battle intensified, his defences were eventually broken, allowing some ghostly aura to erode into his body.
During this, Mo Fan had tried deploying spore toxins, only to discover they had no effect on these ghostly entities.
After fighting fiercely for a long time, Mo Fan feinted, dodged a fatal strike from the two Ghost Ancestors, and finally broke through their joint blockade, escaping towards the area they had deliberately sealed.
Not long after flying in, Mo Fan spotted a tower. Excitement surged in his heart.
“Could Yun Rou be here?”
Mo Fan asked tentatively.
The tower remained silent for a moment before a slightly immature voice emerged. “Who are you?”
Upon hearing the voice, Mo Fan knew who it was and said joyfully, “Brother Bing Yi, it’s me. I am Lai Bao!”
“Lai Bao?”
“Big lump, who are you fooling!”
“That toad is probably living carefree on Black Wind Mountain right now. How would he know whether we live or die?”
“Besides, Lai Bao of Black Wind Mountain is a toad. Look at yourself. Where do you resemble that damned toad?”
“…”
Mo Fan was speechless, his facial muscles twitching slightly.
What did he mean by “damned toad”?
