Chapter 584: Feint East and Attack West
Chapter 584: Feint East and Attack West
After being attacked by Yang Haoran twice, although Yang Haoran didn't use too much Yin spirit power in those two attacks, they should have still caused some harm to the ghost.
However, the reality was not so. The female ghost seemed completely unharmed, as if nothing had happened to her.
In a strange, eerie laughter, the female ghost had already peeled off all her skin, transforming into a fresh blood-soaked monster that looked both disgusting and terrifying.
Ka-ka-ka Ka-ka-ka!
A strange noise came from the female ghost's body as it began to twist and contort, her limbs bending at an unusual angle, making her appearance even more terrifying than before.
Just then, a loud crash sounded, and the residential building that had been shaking nonstop finally collapsed under the pressure!
"Ghost eye, open!"
In this emergency situation, Yang Haoran's first reaction was not to escape, but to open his ghost eye.
The female ghost had been attacked twice, yet showed no signs of injury, and was still as lively as ever. This was definitely not normal, so Yang Haoran suspected an illusion.
From his perspective, since he entered this dilapidated building, he had been trapped in an illusion set up by the female ghost. Everything he saw, including the female ghost, seemed real but was not actually real.It was because the female ghost was not a real existence that she could show no signs of injury after being attacked twice. Similarly, the collapsing residential building might not be real either. Opening his ghost eye was to break through this illusion and see the true situation.
As Yang Haoran opened his ghost eye, his eyes turned pitch black. This time, he not only opened his ghost eye but also injected a large amount of Yin spirit power into his eyes.
With the boost from the Yin spirit power, his ghost eye emitted black smoke, and the world in front of him shattered like a mirror hit by a heavy object. Even the terrifying female ghost in front of him was not an exception, shattering along with the world.
From this, it was clear that Yang Haoran's analysis was correct. Everything he had experienced was just an illusion, and this illusion was set up by the female ghost when he entered the residential building.
The female ghost was a malevolent spirit, and her illusion was more realistic and harder to detect than those of evil spirits. However, Yang Haoran's power was able to easily break through the illusion after opening his ghost eye.
What surprised Yang Haoran was that even though the illusion was broken, the collapsed residential building did not return to normal!
This dilapidated residential building had really collapsed, and it was not just an illusion!
Boom!!
A loud crash, and Yang Haoran was buried under the collapsed building.
This old residential building had stood for unknown years, but it finally collapsed. However, the reason for its collapse was not natural, but rather the result of external forces.
Above the collapsed building, the female ghost's soul body floated, looking at the spot where Yang Haoran was buried. Her face revealed a sinister and terrifying smile.
At this moment, the female ghost did not have the same twisted head and peeled-off skin as in the illusion. She looked normal, except for her smile, which was not something a normal person could ever make.
"You've been chasing me all the way, thinking you're so capable. But it turns out you're just rushing to your death. You ruined my dinner, so I'll have to use you as a toothpick instead."
The female ghost laughed, and then, under her control, the collapsed building below began to shake violently and compress, trying to crush Yang Haoran to death.
She knew that Yang Haoran, buried under the rubble, was still alive, so she wanted to use this method to squeeze him to death.
Just at this moment, a loud explosion came from the ruins below, and a flash of lightning illuminated the dark night. A black shadow burst out of the ruins and floated in front of the female ghost's body.
This person was none other than Yang Haoran, who had been buried under the ruins.
Seeing Yang Haoran successfully escape from the ruins, the female ghost did not continue to press down on the residential building below. Since Yang Haoran had already escaped, continuing to do so would be pointless and a waste of her power.
However, seeing Yang Haoran emerge without a single injury, unchanged from before the building collapsed, was still a surprise to her.
Just moments ago, the building had collapsed due to her power, and under her deliberate actions, the collapsed building had still been influenced by her power. Yang Haoran should not have been unscathed.
Moreover, Yang Haoran's ability to open his ghost eye and instantly dispel the illusions she had set up was also surprising to her.
Yang Haoran was from the Yin Division, which she was aware of. Whether it was the Yin spirit power emanating from his body or the pair of ghostly eyes as black as ink, both were enough to reveal Yang Haoran's identity.
However, the female ghost did not think of Yang Haoran as a Burial Master, but rather as a Night Watch, a relatively powerful one at that.
"Heh heh, I underestimated you. Your trick of creating a diversion to attack from the side was quite good. If I weren't so tough, I might still be buried under these ruins," Yang Haoran said with a smile, looking at the female ghost in front of him.
The female ghost knew that Yang Haoran was from the Yin Division, yet she still used tactics to intimidate ordinary people to scare him. This made Yang Haoran wonder if he had encountered a foolish ghost, as such tactics would not work on him.
But now it seemed that this female ghost was not foolish at all, but rather very clever. She had created a terrifying scene to distract Yang Haoran's attention, while secretly using her ability to control external objects to make the entire building collapse and bury Yang Haoran, dealing him a fatal blow.
If Yang Haoran were just an ordinary Night Watch, he would have been severely injured or even killed. In their next encounter, he would have no chance of winning.
From this, it was clear that the female ghost was not foolish, but rather very clever.
"Heh heh, I also underestimated you. Your strength is far greater than I imagined. You managed to emerge unscathed, which is truly unexpected. However, your luck may not last much longer," the female ghost said with a sinister smile, her voice becoming sharp and piercing.
As she spoke, the collapsed building below began to shake violently, and under her control, the broken pieces of the building rose into the air, surrounded by a strong Yin Qi. The dead objects even emitted a burst of black smoke.
"Yin Division's dog Go die!!"
The female ghost's face, which was originally beautiful and lovely, now looked ferocious due to her sinister smile. Under her control, broken walls, cement pillars, and shattered doors flew towards Yang Haoran from all directions.
At the same time, the female ghost cast another illusion on Yang Haoran.
She knew that Yang Haoran had opened his ghost eye, and based on his speed in dispelling illusions earlier, her own illusions would not have a significant impact on him. They would likely be broken in an instant.
However, she did not mind, as she did not need her illusions to affect Yang Haoran for a long time. She only needed to distract him for a single breath, which was enough to decide the outcome of the battle.
In a fight of this level, being able to distract the opponent for even a single breath was enough to determine victory or defeat.
Even if her illusions could only affect Yang Haoran for a short moment, it would still have an impact on the entire battle, and for her, it would only be beneficial, not harmful.
The female ghost's thinking was not wrong, but she had underestimated Yang Haoran's strength from the start, misjudging his power and identity.
