107 A Leap of Faith ? (1/2)

Xiao Ming ran to Zhao Yao and was trembling from head to toe. He asked Zhao Yao with chattering teeth, ”Master Zhao, I don't think this is the appropriate time to say such words.” Even though Xiao Ming could not understand what Zhao Yao said, but he understood the gravity of the situation which they were in.

The specter's body released black gas into his surroundings like those evil boss monsters in television series. Xiao Ming was flustered and asked, ”What are we supposed to do? This person is way too strong.”

Xiao Ming was an unusually timid person; any rustling in the middle of the night could make him piss his pants. When he saw the entire ceiling enveloped by ghosts and spirits, he felt that his heart could stop beating at any moment.

Specter heard the conversation between them. After settling the gang of strange people, he turned his attention towards Zhao Yao and snickered, ”How are you, do you regret coming to this manor?”

Zhao Yao replied, ”So your power is to turn yourself into a spirit and possess another person's body?”

Specter continued sniggering and thought that there was nothing Zhao Yao could do even if he understood the origins of his power. He waved his hand which created an invisible force that went straight for Zhao Yao.

However, instead of writhing in agony after getting attacked by Specter, Zhao Yao vanished along with everyone else in the hall.

Specter squinted his eyes and remarked, ”I guess this guy has some superpower as well. D*mn it …”

Zhao Yao heaved a sigh of relief as he disappeared from Specter's vision. He had tested Elizabeth's power and concluded that he could not take control over his body when Specter was in his spirit form. However, the illusions still worked as per usual. He turned around to the rest of the people in the hall and shouted, ”He cannot see you guys so faster get the hell out of this place.”

Xiao Ming remained dumbfounded. The rest of the people did not believe Zhao Yao's words. Some were screaming while others were bawling in fear, some even went on their knees and begged for mercy from Specter.

Zhao Yao groaned and instructed Xiao Ming, ”Quickly get them out of this place!” Zhao Yao did not know what other powers Specter had up his sleeve. After turning into his spirit form, he had developed skills which were synonymous with spirits. He might even be able to see through this illusion.

Elizabeth's illusion still could not affect the sense of touch and sense of taste which made it an imperfect illusion.

Xiao Ming looked at Zhao Yao with conviction and decided to take a leap of faith. He gritted his teeth and exclaimed, ”He cannot see us, follow me now!”

The rest of the people stared at Xiao Ming as if he was an idiot. However, the spirits conjured by Specter did not seem to notice Xiao Ming's attempt at escaping, and he soon reached the exit.

The people who saw this immediately came to their feet and started escaping. Priest Yang was obviously the one running at the front.

The rest of the monks and priests who were unconscious regained their consciousness and joined the others in escaping.

Priest Yang shouted, ”F*ck, so they were just playing dead?”

Master Mao pointed at Specter and replied, ”You don't say? How can we fight against this monster, this is better left for the Avengers.”

Zhao Yao heaved a sigh of relief as he saw the masses of people successfully making their escape. He would have fewer worries without them here.

During their escape, Specter used psychokinesis which disturbed the air particles to locate Zhao Yao's position in the hall.

”Illusion?” Specter started to understand Zhao Yao's power, ”Even my sense of direction and space are distorted, but …” Suddenly, he descended from mid-air to the floor and was standing like how an ordinary human would.

”My sense of touch remains undistorted.”

When his feet were about to make contact with the floor, Zhao Yao had frozen time and sent a fury of kicks and punches against Specter.

Zhao Yao felt the impact of his punches and kicked, Zhao Yao thought, ”Even though he seemed like an intangible spirit, he still had to turn himself tangible if he wanted to make contact with matter.
