605 Sticking to You Now (1/2)

Mo Wen knew that they could not allow the Corpse Puppet to ring the Cries of Hades Bell, or the consequences would be dire.

Immediately, a Soul attack was performed, closing all distance and colliding directly with the Corpse Puppet.

However, Mo Wen giving it his all was still insufficient. Everything had happened too late. The power of the Corpse Puppet had been akin to that of a grandmaster all along. Its Soul power was far stronger than Mo Wen's. Mo Wen's Soul attack did not even really affect the Corpse Puppet. The body of the Corpse Puppet simply wavered, before it continued ringing the Cries of Hades Bell.

A piercing bright light was suddenly emitted from the Cries of Hades Bell. It was like a piece of amethyst, shining bright on its own.

Mo Wen laughed bitterly. Without hesitating at all, he retreated in a flash. Since his body had been hurt by the Cold Qi from before, his speed of retreat had become substantially slower.

However, he was still in a better position than many of the others. Pavilion Leader Ye Rong and Bu Zhangkun were already fallen to the ground. They were paralyzed by the cold and it was difficult for them to even move.

Grandmother Hui Ling and He Xiangyu did not hesitate to retreat as well. The two of them clearly knew how destructive the moment the Corpse Puppet rang the Cries of Hades Bell would be. The Purple Bottle Gourd was not a profound level weapon but the moment Grandmother Hui Ling gave it her all, she had almost been able to kill the Corpse Puppet.

Meanwhile, the Cries of Hades Bell was a true-blue profound level weapon. If the Corpse Puppet was the one activating it, it was unthinkable just how frightening it would be.

Grandmother Hui Ling and He Xiangyu had not forgotten the two Sect Leaders from their own sects. When they retreated simultaneously, the two of them extended their hands to attract the black quartz package, which landed in both the hands of Grandmother Hui Ling and He Xiangyu.

However, because of that, the speed of their retreat had also been affected. There was thus still a distance between them and Mo Wen who had retreated earlier. Pavilion Leader Ye Rong and Bu Zhangkun were the Sect Leaders of Purple Qi Pavilion and Five Beasts Sect respectively. They were of utmost importance and were the pillars of support in their sects. Hence, the two of them could not leave without the two sect leaders.

A bloodied light weaved into the small purple bell. The radiance of the purple bell intensified and the Corpse Puppet left out an earth-shattering roar. An invisible ripple of waves immediately spread all around him. Then, in the blink of an eye, the soundwave had covered the entire great hall, even spreading to the outside.

The Cries of Hades Bell flew out of the Corpse Puppet's hand. When it was in mid-air, it suddenly grew to three meters tall and two meters wide, making it look like a giant bell.

The angry roar of the Corpse Puppet seemed to be a product of the giant bell, and it caused a tremor across the Cries of Hades Bell. Then, it let out a crisp, resounding gong.

Although the sound was clear, it sounded like a demonic sound from hell. The cornett used to harvest the souls has centered itself at the Cries of Hades Bell. The bricks paving the ground in the great hall began to rise into the air, flying backward with a roaring sound.

An invisible sound wave immediately engulfed the entire diameter of a thousand meters. All the stones on the walls and ground were shattered.

As he retreated through the air, Mo Wen felt as if he had been dealt a blow. His body trembled as he coughed up a mouthful of blood. His eyes rolled back into his head and the whites could be seen. His vision went dark. Immediately, he fell to the ground. He felt dizzy and the world spun around him, as he was on the verge of fainting.

Grandmother Hui Ling and He Xiangyu were much closer in proximity to the Cries of Hades Bell than Mo Wen was. They were thus dealt an even greater blow. The frightening sound wave had attacked their souls directly. Even with their abilities, such an attack caused them to continuously cough up blood. Their souls had been dealt a serious blow. Their eyes also rolled backward and they both fainted.

The Cries of Hades Bell was clearly a profound level weapon that could perform soul attacks. The attack it had just launched seemed to be too fierce to withstand. The souls of the five people in the great hall had all been affected greatly.

Suddenly, half of the Corpse Puppet's body collapsed. It fell onto the ground with a roaring crash. It could no longer get up once again, and all signs of life within it were gone.

The entire great hall fell silent. Everyone had collapsed onto the ground. Only the two treasures, the Dark Soul Pearl and Cries of Hades Bell, were still floating in mid-air and emitting soft rays of light.

Outside the great hall, a thousand meters away, those ancient martial art practitioners who could not bear to leave and were still loitering around had also felt the ripples from the attack. Two of the ancient martial art practitioners of the beginning stage of the Golden Elixir realm who were closer to the area had directly been struck with the remnant ripples. Their bodies had shattered into pieces, killing them instantly.

Although the ancient martial art practitioners that were slightly further away had not received any fatal blows, a large number of them had also fainted. Only those ancient martial art practitioners with at least the intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir realm did not faint because of their higher Cultivation and since they were slightly further away. However, their souls had still been affected.

A single attack by the Cries of Hades Bell was incredibly strong. It simply had the power to destroy anything.

The ancient martial art practitioners outside the cave looked inside the cave in shock. Nobody knew what had happened within the cave, nor did they know what the source of the earth-shattering attack was.

However, not a single one of the ancient martial art practitioners outside dared to return to check on what had happened. The terrifying strength had already thoroughly scared the wits out of the Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners. The ripples could be felt and, even from a distance, were so powerful. If anyone had dared to go back, it was akin to digging their own grave!

After an unknown period of time, Mo Wen's body jerked a little before he gradually regained consciousness. He climbed up from the ground with much effort. Looking at the chaotic scene before him, he could only laugh bitterly.
