Chapter 679 - Together, They Are Invincible!
Chapter 679: Together, They Are Invincible!
Fear was etched on Liu Yu’s face.
He stood at Baili Jia Jue’s right. Although they were separated by a fair distance, he could still distinguish the fangs of the hostile ghost as it advanced toward them.
“It’s over!”
This was the only thought on everyone’s mind!
The young man could not bear to watch the gory scene and shut his eyes tight!
However, Elder Xu Wu and the ministers of the Xuanyuan Kingdom, especially Zongzheng Wen Ren, had a different thought. If he could eliminate Baili Jia Jue with the help of the hostile ghost, then it would subsequently make things easier for them. Once they had gotten rid of Baili Jia Jue, they could immediately acquire the guardian rights of the Imperial Seal!
To date, save Baili Jia Jue, the War Dragon Kingdom had no reliable regent and was only governed by the old ministers who used to serve the previous Emperor. Thereafter, conquering the entire War Dragon Dynasty would be merely a piece of cake!
The hostile ghost, who made a lunge for Baili Jia Jue, sniggered. This man must have been scared witless, causing him to be rooted to the spot. Anyway, that’s good! Then, it’s easier for me to savor him too!
The hostile ghost flaunted his fangs. Soon, it would be able to consume this frightened little soul and take over the mortal shell!
At that moment, everyone held their breath.
Baili Jia Jue remained where he stood as he lowered his head, covering his eyes with his wispy black hair. Standing in the dark, his expression was masked by shadows. However, the crowd could vaguely see his lips that were curled into wicked smirk.
Finally, the hostile ghost was standing right before Baili Jia Jue!
No!
He’s not definitely not a human!
The ghost was overwhelmed by a strange anxiety that made him want to flee the scene immediately!
“What’s wrong? Didn’t you want to occupy my mortal shell?” Baili Jia Jue slowly lifted his gaze that was filled with magic. The hostile ghost felt as if its limbs had been restrained by its opponent. As though its organs were being torn apart, it was tortured by the excruciating pain. The man had yet to strike an attack, but the suffering was so intense that it felt as if it had already been plunged into hell.
Indiscernible black feathers fell from the sky and dropped around the hostile ghost.
If a ghost was able to express its emotions, it would have shouted out its regret to have apparated to this venue.
How is this possible?
How is there possibly a more powerful hostile ghost then me in the Capital?
No, that’s not right!
This man isn’t a ghost!
“You… who are you?” The hostile ghost noticed that its left hand was quivering as it spoke.
Even if he was not a human, but he, who similarly hailed from hell, should not be able to suppress the hostile ghosts to this extent.
Baili Jia Jue gave it a nonchalant look. Immediately, a scarlet golden beam escaped his narrowed eyes and pinned the hostile ghost to the spot.
“You… you are…” The hostile ghost’s jaw dropped in disbelief. Its eyes flickered in fright as it shook like a leaf, as though it was a tiny mouse that was at the mercy of its feline predator. He dared not even call out that name!
How is this possible?
If he is truly the person, there is no way for me to have detected his scent!
Or…
Suddenly, realization hit the hostile ghost hard. It threw a side glance at Helian Wei Wei!
It was her!
This woman’s pure aura had completely masked the tremendous magic powers.
As a result, it was mistaken and thought that the man was but an ordinary human being!
So, it’s true. The man has really returned!
The hostile ghost’s eyes were wide with fear!
However, this scene was not witnessed by the onlookers.
From the moment the ghost began to charge at Baili Jia Jue, to the instant it paused in the air, everything happened within a fraction of a second. Aside from Helian Wei Wei and Little Seventh, no one knew why the hostile ghost stopped in its tracks.
From the audience’s perspective, Baili Jia Jue simply flashed past and poked his finger into the hostile ghost’s chest. The scene was rather inconceivable.
A loud bang resonated across the atmosphere.
Being showered by the black feather, the hostile ghost stood still in the dark. It watched as the crack on its chest slowly expanded to its entire body. Eventually, it turned into black dust and was blown away by the wind!
The whole event happened in a flash of an eye.
No one could believe what they saw!
When everyone had finally regained their senses, Baili Jia Jue had already readjusted his posture. He licked the corner of his mouth with his tongue. However, his action was so unnoticeable, to the extent that only Helian Wei Wei noticed it.
The bystanders watched as he fixed his collar and gloves. His movements were elegant and casual, as if the effort he took to squash a measly ant and to obliterate that hostile ghost were the same.
Zongzheng Wen Ren had been rendered speechless. Meanwhile, his ashen face was glowering.
How is this possible?
How can Baili Jia Jue eliminate a hostile ghost that has undergone hostile changes with his bare hands?
Elder Xu Wu too had never expected this turn of events. As he stared into Baili Jia Jue’s eyes, he could feel the fear that was coursing through his veins for the first time.
Third Prince… is certainly a defiant man!
And, Helian Wei Wei is just like him!
Even His Highness could not manipulate the 18 yellow runes.
However, Helian Wei Wei was able to cast that spell with ease!
I can’t fathom how powerful the pair will be if the terrifying man, Baili Jia Jue, and Helian Wei Wei joined forces.
At the very least, I’m aware about their capability now and will stay vigilant around them.
However, it is still unclear if the Master has learned about their power yet.
Elder Xu Wu lowered his gaze. He was positive that Helian Wei Wei and Baili Jia Jue would definitely hinder their plan to destroy the seal.
They were too formidable!
“What just happened?” the wide-eyed exorcists murmured as they reached out to nudge their peers.
One of the exorcists was still dumbstruck. It was his first time witnessing such a bustle and he was not accommodating well.
Liu Yu and Wu Jing exchanged looks. Astonishment and shock were etched on their faces!
They had always known how powerful His Highness was! But, after this incident, they learned that the Third Prince’s strength had surpassed their expectations!
He can even eliminate a ghost!
Who needs exorcists anymore?
Incidentally, the Great Hall had fallen into pindrop silence. Everyone seemed to have forgotten how to breathe as they watched the god-like man walked out of the darkness.
He stopped in front of Helian Wei Wei.
Helian Wei Wei had raised her left hand in advance, with a smile painted across her lips. Just like the first time they fought alongside each other in the White Academy, their palms met and a clear clap resounded across the hall!
They made a perfect and amazing team!
“The Third Princess Consort knew that his Highness would win!”
“No wonder! Hahaha! His Highness is truly brilliant! Some people may say that exorcism is different from a battle, but, in my opinion, they are exactly the same. His Highness still ripped them to shreds nevertheless!”
Zongzheng Wen Ren had always been an arrogant man. When he heard this barely concealed mockery, he clenched his teeth. “He merely performed an exorcism, but I didn’t see a judge. How can this be considered as a victory?”
