Realm of the Night God

Chapter 723: Tragic Pit

At the bottom of the Soul Suppression Tower, there was a door, which was now under Zhang Changchun's control. The door let out a creaking sound.

As soon as the door opened a crack, a large amount of Yin Qi burst out, accompanied by a sharp, ear-piercing ghostly laughter that echoed through the heavens and earth. A massive ghost face materialized in the midst of the Yin Qi.

Although the Zhang family's Soul Suppression Tower had suppressed the ghost, they couldn't move the tower. If they did, the seal would break, and the ghost would escape. So, they could only choose to suppress it in place and reinforce the seal every now and then.

At this moment, Zhang Changchun opened the door, and the seal naturally broke. The ghost, which had been suppressed for several years, finally regained its freedom.

However, just as the ghost rushed out of the Soul Suppression Tower, Ma Yuanjin immediately activated the formation disc in his hand. The Array Formation set up by the formation flags was triggered, releasing a burst of golden light. Dense, golden longswords shot out from all directions, targeting the ghost.

At the same time, another Array Formation was triggered, releasing a powerful black energy from the various items, including the skull, fangs, and other objects. This black energy flowed along the trajectory of the array, instantly illuminating the entire Array Formation.

Above these array devices, massive shadows materialized, identical in shape to the objects used to set up the array, but enlarged many times over.

With the massive skull as the center, the other objects quickly assembled around it. Two eyeballs were embedded into the skull, illuminating its eyes and emitting wisps of black smoke. Next, two sharp fangs were embedded into the skull's mouth, resembling two sharp longswords.

The other array devices also assembled below the skull, and in the blink of an eye, a general riding a War Horse, clad in armor, and holding a long spear appeared in the air.

Although this general had no flesh or blood, it exuded an aura of power and intimidation. Its War Horse let out a loud neigh, and the general's eyes blazed with black smoke as it charged towards the ghost that had emerged from the Soul Suppression Tower.All of this happened in the blink of an eye. The two Array Formations were almost simultaneously triggered, and as the dense, golden longswords stabbed towards the ghost, the general riding the War Horse also took form.

Of course, it wasn't just Ma Yuanjin who took action. The others on the scene also launched an attack on the ghost at the same time.

Talismans, mystical artifacts, and even the Underworld Envoy's soul weapon all targeted the ghost in the first instant.

According to their plan, they would launch a wave of attacks to cripple the ghost, giving it no chance to catch its breath. This way, they could capture the ghost without getting hurt.

The first to hit the ghost was the Array Formation's golden longsword, which moved at an incredible speed, like a golden sword rain, instantly striking the ghost face materialized from the Yin Qi.

The sound of explosions continued to echo, and the massive ghost face was riddled with holes by the golden sword rain. The Skeleton General, holding a long spear, followed up, stabbing the ghost face and creating a whirlpool in its center, as if to tear it apart.

The fierce attacks from the others on the scene also arrived on schedule, striking the ghost face.

Under the deafening roar, the space shook, and the massive ghost face was torn apart into fragments, transforming into a cluster of irregularly shaped Yin Qi.

In just an instant, the ghost that had just emerged from the Soul Suppression Tower, without even having time to condense its soul body, was struck by several attacks, torn apart, and fragmented.

It was just that, among the people present, no one showed any joy, because the Yin Qi transformed by the ghost, although torn apart, did not dissipate, but instead floated in mid-air, like a small, dark cloud.

The Yin Qi not dispersing indicated that the ghost's soul had not scattered. Moreover, judging from the powerful fluctuations emitted by the ghost, it seemed that it had not suffered significant damage.

A strange, eerie laughter echoed through the area, and a fierce, dark wind swept through, which not only failed to disperse the Yin Qi but instead caused it to rapidly condense.

From the current situation, it was clear that their first wave of attack had not achieved the desired result.

Faced with this situation, the people present did not hesitate, their expressions solemn, as they launched another attack on the ghost.

The sound of explosions continued, and under the intense attack, the Yin Qi transformed by the ghost not only did not decrease but instead grew thicker. In just a few short breaths, the visible, dark Yin Qi had enveloped the entire area, and Yang Haoran and the others, surrounded by the Yin Qi, were like being in the dead of night, unable to see their own fingers.

Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing immediately activated their ghost eyes, and the others followed suit, allowing their physical eyes to have a certain range of vision in this situation.

"You're all so enthusiastic, I love it I'm a bit hungry, so I'll just use your souls as a snack!"

The ghost's voice rang out, filled with brutality and a hint of savagery.

As his voice sounded, the ghost's soul body condensed out of the thick Yin Qi.

The man's appearance was middle-aged, tall, and imposing, with a ferocious expression on his face, his gaze fixed on Yang Haoran and the others like a predator spotting prey.

Especially when his gaze fell on Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing, his blood-red eyes gleamed with excitement, as if he had seen the most delicious food in the world.

Under Ma Yuanjin's control, the Array Formation once again condensed into a dense, golden longsword, launching an attack on the ghost.

The Skeleton General, holding a long spear, pulled the reins, and his War Horse let out a loud whinny, turning around and charging towards the ghost.

The ghost let out a loud, hearty laugh, and a terrifying power burst out of his body, releasing a massive amount of Yin Qi, which instantly shattered the incoming golden longsword.

Facing the massive Skeleton General, the ghost's body seemed extremely small, but he showed no fear, his eyes blazing with blood light. The Skeleton General, along with his War Horse, suddenly froze in mid-air, and then was torn apart by a terrifying power, dispersing into strands of Yin Qi.

The Skeleton General was torn apart because it was affected by the ghost's object control, and the ghost directly applied the power of object control to the Skeleton General's body. Due to the vast difference in strength between the two, the Skeleton General did not even have the ability to resist, and was instantly torn apart into fragments.

In the instant the Skeleton General was torn apart, all the instruments used to set up the array below were shattered, and the ghost's power was so strong that it not only tore apart the Skeleton General but also shattered the instruments that made up the Array Formation.

Ptoo!

Ma Yuanjin spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face turning pale.

To deal with this ghost, he had set up a double array, and both Array Formations were extremely powerful, with a strong destructive force against the ghost.

It was precisely because these two Array Formations were so powerful that controlling them was a significant drain on his energy. To fully unleash the power of the two Array Formations, he had connected his spirit with them, allowing him to better control them.

Now, the formation disc in his hand was shattered, and the Array Formation that released the golden longsword was broken by the ghost's absolute power. The destruction was not limited to the Array Formation, as even the formation disc in his hand was shattered.

Not only was the formation disc shattered, but he estimated that the hidden formation flag was also damaged.

However, just as the array was broken, the dead array set up through various instruments was also broken by the ghost, and all the instruments used to set up the array were shattered by the ghost's power.

With two Array Formations broken, Ma Yuanjin, who was connected to them through his spirit, would definitely not be okay. Suffering a backlash of power, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood on the spot, his face turning pale.

In an instant, the ghost broke through two Array Formations, and its soul body dodged the talisman while also having the ability to counterattack against the mystical artifact. For a moment, the attacks from several people failed to inflict fatal damage on it, causing the faces of those present to turn ugly.

"You old scoundrel You've really screwed me over this time!" Ma Yuanjin didn't even bother to wipe the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, his face red with anger as he shouted at Zhang Changchun.
