Chapter 79 Battle of the Souls (1/2)
Creak!
The loud creak was followed by an old man, who was dressed in a long, glowing, green robe. As he stepped off from the top of the great hall, a giant green serpent followed by his side.
The humongous head of the green serpent swayed from side to side, as if it was barking commands at the ghastly beings floating around.
Following its commands, the ghastly beings flocked to the side of the serpent and the old man.
After the ghastly beings gathered around the old man and the serpent, the old man flew north-west, leaving a green shadow streaking across the sky. The ghastly beings followed suit, rumbling across the air.
In the different halls of the Array, similar scenes were happening. The green, ghastly beings floated up into the air in bulk, covering the skies and painting it green.
The people awoke with shock as they looked at the scene above. At the moment, they felt as though they were in hell themselves. Fear suffocated them, and they almost went berserk. Thankfully, they were still elites with stronger willpower than normal humans.
Right in the middle of the Array, in the room on the highest floor, the King of the Hunters, Can Bao, awoke abruptly from his dreams, as he sensed that something was off.
“Da Ge, Da Ge.” Anxious knocking came from his door.
“What’s the matter?” Can Bao leaped off his bed and got dressed quickly. He opened his door, only to find Shi Yan and Three Eyes standing outside. “What happened?”
“Da Ge. You should take a look yourself. It’s…It’s too scary.” A look of fear spread across both their faces.
“Scram.” Can Bao raced out, and was shocked silly by the scene that appeared before his eyes.
Tightly packed swarms of ghastly beings rumbled across the sky above, similar to a swarm of locusts.
“What’s going on? Where are they going?” The color drained from Can Bao’s face, but he still retained a trace of calmness.
“Da Ge, they are all heading towards the north-west. I wonder what happened there?” Three Eyes answered.
“Regardless of what happened, we should go and take a look.” Can Bao spoke firmly.
“Da Ge, this is too dangerous. What if those things…” Both Shi Yan and Three Eyes tried to dissuade Can Bao from going.
“What are you afraid of? Don’t forget, we are the masters of the Array. We must find out what happened. Let’s go.” Can Bao interrupted their words and rushed off.
“Let’s go.”
Left without any choice, Shi Yan and Three Eyes led a group of people who were decently skilled and followed behind Can Bao.
Can Bao and his crew were not the only ones moving toward the north-west. Some lucky survivors with a daring heart also followed the trail of ghastly beings so that they could see what was happening. If they were lucky, they might run into something good.
Inside a great hall in the north-western corner, Qin Yu awoke from his meditation.
“Finally, they’re here.”
Qin Yu peeked outside of the great hall and saw countless ghastly beings surrounding the hall. Green light illuminated the surroundings, forming an emerald-green world, with countless spirits and ghastly cries. This was hell on earth.
In the space above the great hall, a suave old man stood with a giant serpent guarding his side. The serpent hissed angrily at the great hall below, revealing its sharp green teeth.
Innumerable ghastly beings flocked to the old man and his serpent.
Ghastly green human heads joined together into an “army” that surrounded the hall, whilst human spirits and snake spirits flocked to the old man and the serpent respectively.
As the ghastly shadows came together, peace was restored in the other great halls. Now, only the current place was left as a hellish world.
“Little bastard, come out and accept your death!.” The old man yelled angrily and directed his rage towards the great hall below, causing it to rumble and tremble.
“Soul Separation.” A figure flew out from the body of Qin Yu, rushing into the night sky and facing off against the old man.
The floating ghastly green heads flooded towards Qin Yu when he appeared. In just an instant, they separated him from the skies above and the building below. Just like a green cocoon, they surrounded him completely, leaving Qin Yu encapsulated alongside the old man and his serpent.
The people outside wished that they could see the face-off between Qin Yu and the old man. However, due to the rumbling ghastly green heads surrounding them, nothing could be seen.
“Old jerk, seems like you think highly of me, to arrange such a big party for me.” Qin Yu sneered at the old man, and glared at him with ice cold eyes.
“Hmph. Cut the crap, I will let you die today. Tell me your name so that I know who I killed today. My only hope is that your name won’t leave me disappointed.” The old man said disdainfully.
“Ha, then I might have to disappoint you,” Qin Yu laughed, “I am just a nobody, Qin Yu.”
“A nobody? Qin Yu?” The old man was indeed disappointed, for he had never heard of this name.
“Are you very disappointed?” Qin Yu kept his smile, “Arranging such a big party just to deal with a nobody. You must be ashamed once news of this gets out.”
The old man was angry and humiliated.
