Chapter 286 (2/2)

Xiang Shaoyun took a step back, but when he recalled the protection he had from the Nether Dragon Soul Headband, he regained some of his courage. He replied, ”Hehe, even if you are a ghost, you still won't be able to eat me. Don't you remember your previous failed attempt?”

Numerous possibilities rose in Xiang Shaoyun's mind. This face might be the remaining consciousness of some expert, or it might be a spiritual brand. A ghost was not the only thing it could be. But it was certain that the face could only release soul attacks. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been trying to scare him from within the pool. At that realization, much of his fear vanished.

”b.a.s.t.a.r.d, do you really think I can't touch you?” the face roared and sent another ma.s.sive mouth toward Xiang Shaoyun. It was still a soul attack, and it similarly failed.

”Stop wasting your time.” Xiang Shaoyun smiled. The Nether Dragon Soul Headband essentially granted him immunity to all soul attacks. He had no need to fear this face anymore.

”Hmph, it's still too soon for you to be happy,” the human face snorted as numerous rocks started hovering in the air. Then, all the rocks were slammed in the direction of the ghostrunes.

Bang! Bang!

Like a rapid-fire catapult, the face rained stones down on the ghostrunes, causing wails to ring in the air. Chaos ensued, and the ghostrunes started fleeing farther away. But no matter how they fled, the stones still hit them.

In the span of a few breaths, almost all the ghostrunes in the vicinity were killed. Only a few lucky ones escaped. Even the survivors had only escaped because the human face had intentionally stopped attacking. Otherwise, none of the ghostrunes would have been able to escape.

Xiang Shaoyun witnessed everything, and once again, he broke out in cold sweat. He had been too smug earlier. If the human face attacked him the same way, he would definitely end up as mincemeat.

”Hehe, scared now? Don't think you can insult this lord just because you can stop my soul attacks. I can kill you as easily as squas.h.i.+ng an ant,” said the human face.

”Yes, lord. You are truly brilliant and mighty, your valiance unrivaled. Before you, this kid is nothing but an ant. In fact, you will only be dirtying your hand killing me. This kid shall quickly p.i.s.s off from the presence of your exalted self,” said Xiang Shaoyun respectfully while wiping his cold sweat before quickly retreating from the place.

Yes, the ghostbloom was a very precious treasure, but his life was even more precious. Unfortunately, before he could even start flying, floating rocks completely surrounded him, rendering escape impossible.

He sullenly grumbled to himself, I knew treasures wouldn't be obtained so easily!

Fortunately, the human face did not seem to have any plans of killing him. Otherwise, the rocks would not stop at merely surrounding him.

”O great lord, why are you even wasting your time on a tiny thing like me?” Xiang Shaoyun asked.

”Hehe, now you know to beg?” said the human face with a creepy smile.

”What do you need to consider sparing me, great lord?” Xiang Shaoyun asked, having a feeling that this fellow was not going to kill him after all.
