Chapter 660: Human-Headed Octopi, Again (1/2)

Inside the giant sphere hovering in the air, a large group of fur seals were frantically breeding new members. At their rate, it wouldn’t take long for their numbers to reach the threshold required for the sacrifice. Ge Yanxia would then feed them all to the demon god.

Alas, the globe formed by the ripple was too tough. It was indestructible after separating from Ge Yanxia, so much so that a fully-powered shot from a crystal cannon wouldn’t even leave a mark on it.

Qi Hai and Liu Chen also grew anxious; they could both guess what Ge Yanxia was planning.

“You two, use your swords and pound the globe at a constant rhythm!” Lu Yun demonstrated the motion, then shooed them into action. His cultivation level was too low to make the strange sphere vibrate, but that wasn’t the case for Qi Hai and Liu Chen. They were simply unable to break through the sphere’s defenses.

“What’s the point of doing this?” Liu Chen asked in confusion as he reentered Zhao Chong’s body.

“Do as he says, we might be pleasantly surprised.” Qi Hai had visited hell for some time and grown accustomed to Lu Yun’s peculiar methods and unorthodox thinking. Retrieving the hundred and eight comet-like pills, he replaced them with a flying sword. Floating up to the giant globe, he pounded it following a swift beat.

Liu Chen hesitated slightly, then requested, “You must make sure to keep the princess safe. She’s dedicating her full strength to suppressing the demon fetus and can’t afford any interference!” With that exhortation, he took to the air and pounded the sphere, copying Qi Hai’s tempo.

Last time Lu Yun had run into Liu Chen, something had caused the ghost king to lose his self-awareness and act on a muddled mix of base instincts. Interference had overwhelmed his mind in the form of chaos and confusion and he’d lost all sense of purpose.

It was at this time that Zhao Chong arrived, enabling Princess Zhao Qing to shove Liu Chen’s soul into his body and use his Exalted Divine bloodline to purify Liu Chen’s true spirit. Now that the ghost king had recovered his clarity of mind and found himself again, he’d once more recalled his duties.

Drifting down to the globe, he closed his eyes to grasp Qi Hai’s rhythm, then frantically pounded the globe following the same tempo. Their efforts sent the void vibrating, and the globe buzzed with a deep drone that spread massive soundwaves to every corner of the premises.

Standing at the ready, Lu Yun took out close to a hundred Yu Talismans and stuck them on himself, forming a giant defensive wall that warded off the soundwaves.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Inside the sphere, fur seals spontaneously exploded in a cascading sequence of gore and sank to the bottom of the globe as bloody pulp. Ge Yanxia stopped her mating motions and screeched in rage, but what could she do?

Qi Hai and Liu Chen were pounding the globe at its resonant frequency. The frequency of the soundwaves lacerated Ge Yanxia, inflicting significant injuries on her bulbous body. Unable to endure the violent vibrations any further, she chose to dispel the globe and tried attacking Qi Hai and Liu Chen.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three pillars of light erupted in quick succession. Streaking through the air, they evaporated the fur seal splatters and smashed into Ge Yanxia, sending her far into the distance.

“I will get you back for this if it’s the last thing I do, Yin Clan!” the fur seal’s voice echoed from afar.

……

Elated after killing three Donglin immortals, Yin Qingran was in the middle of placing their heads and nascent spirits inside his storage ring when a cold shiver suddenly ran down his spine.

……

“It survived all that??” Lu Yun’s face fell and he felt the sudden urge to call upon the Judgment of Life and Death.
