Chapter 483: The Terrifying Creature Beneath the Eight Trigrams Tower! Unlucky Demon! Endless Ghostly Lies!

The Phantom in the Eight Trigrams Tower was an accidental product of this mysterious space, akin to a spirit of an artifact suddenly gaining sentience.

At this moment, the entire Liu ancestral hall suddenly shook. A hulking, ugly monster with disheveled hair crawled out from the ground, and blood-red runes flickered across its body, covering the sky. The blood moon hung high above, and a streak of crimson light fell upon this disheveled monster.

The monster, enveloped in the tainted blood, emitted hissing sounds. Yet, these things caused it no harm; instead, they encased it, forming a colossal giant!

By now, the previously expressionless men, women, and children had all vanished. Only a single massive ghost remained in place. Earlier, the Phantom had lost its suppression over this ancient, powerful formation.

As a result, the vengeful men, women, and children were unable to restrain the wide-mouthed ghost. One by one, they were devoured, and the ghost’s aura had now grown extremely powerful!

At this moment, there were two powerful ghostly presences within the Liu ancestral hall. Had there only been one, it would have surely attacked Li Yanchu.

The massive ghost had originally been growing by devouring other ghosts. Once it had consumed them all and could no longer sense the Phantom’s presence, its target would naturally become the young Daoist bathed in golden light. By the same logic, the disheveled, ugly monster, now wrapped in a blood cocoon, would, upon emerging, immediately attack the nearest target, Li Yanchu.

At this time, Li Yanchu’s internal magical power had already been heavily drained. It was very possible that he would not be a match for this ghostly creature.

Even if he were at the peak of Yin Spirit, after consecutive battles, without medicinal replenishment and lacking the endurance of his martial-body form, the cost of using his divine techniques was staggering.

Strictly speaking, Li Yanchu was at a disadvantage. Of course, he still possessed the Deity Summoning Art, which could keep him safe. But using it recklessly would drain all of his internal magical power. If another bizarre entity emerged within the Liu ancestral hall at that moment, the group would face total annihilation.

Thus, he had to be cautious in using the Deity Summoning Art. After all, no one could be certain that simply flattening the Liu ancestral hall and defeating the ghosts would allow them to leave this place completely.

Previously, he had thought that destroying the Eight Trigrams Tower would let him leave the mysterious town. But now, it seemed the depths of this town were far greater than he had imagined.

At this time, the Phantom’s eyes glinted with excitement. There were certain forbidden presences in the hall it could not control, for example, the Eight Trigrams Tower itself was a sentient ghost, and now, the woman sealed beneath the tower... Yes, the disheveled monster emerging was actually a woman!

“Little mutt, still not dead this time?!”

Excitement flashed in the Phantom’s eyes; it was thrilled. This young Daoist was even fiercer than expected, having directly toppled the Eight Trigrams Tower. But in doing so, he had released the terrifying woman beneath the tower.

“Go! Go! Kill this little mutt!” The Phantom was ecstatic, holding its breath in anticipation.

BOOM! BOOM!

A surge of immense resentment erupted. A terrifying battle was about to erupt at any moment!

But the Phantom suddenly froze, standing dumbfounded in place.

“Damn it... how could I have forgotten this ghostly thing?!” he roared hysterically, screaming in anger.

The terrifying explosions just now weren’t caused by Li Yanchu fighting the monster beneath the Eight Trigrams Tower.

Instead, the wide-mouthed ghost on its chest, having devoured all the other ghosts, had fixed its gaze on the creature wrapped in a blood cocoon. This creature didn’t have any flashy powers; it simply leapt forward, and the mouth on its chest began gnawing relentlessly. A tremendous noise erupted from the blood cocoon, yet it still couldn’t repel the horrifying ghost.

In the previous battles, even a burst of vengeful energy from this blood cocoon could have shattered the massive ghost! But now, the giant ghost had already devoured every guest in the inn, countless ghosts in the town, and the expressionless, ruthless, and vengeful men, women, and children within the Liu ancestral hall. Its aura had grown terrifying, reaching an unimaginable level.

Within the blood cocoon, a vague humanoid figure appeared, but the cocoon’s energy was being continuously consumed by the giant ghost. The figure seemed displeased, emitting a cold snort.

Then, a slender, pale hand suddenly shot out from the cocoon and struck the giant ghost heavily.

BOOM!

An invisible ripple of force spread outward, and the ghost was flung back by this pale woman’s strike.

CRASH!

It smashed a small house inside the Eight Trigrams Tower.

At that moment, an genderless demon was discovered and immediately snatched up by the giant ghost.

“What the heck?!!” the demon screamed sharply.

It had been hiding in a room shielding its aura, watching the chaos, when suddenly it was hit.

What terrible luck!

It felt furious, but in the next instant, it was chomped by the giant ghost’s gaping mouth. The flesh was mangled and bloodied, and the utterly brutal scene made one’s scalp tingle in horror.

ROAR!

The giant ghost bellowed again and lunged at the mysterious blood cocoon in an unstoppable, ferocious onslaught.

Meanwhile, Li Yanchu’s mind stirred. Feeling the cold, sinister aura on the joss paper in his hands, he quickly reached a decision. He couldn’t act yet, otherwise, he might give these two fiercely fighting ghosts another opening.

So, he shifted his form and activated Godspeed, directly arriving at the place where the Phantom was hidden.

The Phantom’s eyes widened in astonishment, and he said, “Huh? This little mutt is coming toward me? Did he spot me? Impossible... absolutely impossible!”

Panic surged in his mind, and as Li Yanchu drew nearer, his anxiety increased. He vanished from the current room, fleeing to another hidden spot.

But at this moment, Li Yanchu moved again, continuing the chase after the Phantom.

“Is this little bastard sniffing something out, or is it just a coincidence?” The Phantom still couldn’t believe it.

As long as he concealed his aura, he could vanish anywhere within the Liu ancestral hall, and no one would notice him, not even that terrifying ghost could find him. That was why he dared to linger and watch the chaos unfold. He was far stronger than that genderless demon; that guy was basically an idiot!

Yet now, Li Yanchu was tracking him accurately, filling this mysterious, elusive Phantom with fear.

“Damn it, what the hell is this bastard doing?!”

BANG!

Li Yanchu grabbed the Phantom in one swift motion, holding him tightly in his palm. The golden light of the Golden Light Curse seared the Phantom’s body continuously, sending up hissing white smoke.

“Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me! Daoist Master, don’t kill me! I have important information to give you!” the Phantom cried out in panic.

“Shut the hell up with your lies!” Li Yanchu didn’t even bother with him.
