Chapter 1175: Last Resort
Big Sister's words had no effect on the Corpse King. The Corpse King seemed not to have heard her, continuing its fierce assault on Shang Yuanqi. It appeared to have no interest in anything else but slaying Shang Yuanqi.
On the other hand, Shang Yuanqi, along with his Guardian Spirit, was struggling to withstand the Corpse King's ferocious assault. Upon hearing Big Sister's words, his expression instantly underwent a drastic change. Unlike the mindless Corpse King, he clearly understood what Big Sister's words implied.
However, Yang Haoran, whom Big Sister regarded as the protagonist of this event, still maintained a cold expression, his blood-red eyes devoid of any emotion. He showed no change whatsoever due to Big Sister's words, nor did he cease his attack because of them.
Big Sister observed Yang Haoran's reaction. She let out a cold snort, dodging Remnant Moon's attacks as she spoke.
“Hmph! Let's see how long you can keep up this act! ”
After these words fell, Big Sister did not speak again. Instead, she continued to dodge Remnant Moon's attacks while her hands rapidly formed seals.
Her significantly increased strength allowed Big Sister to dodge Remnant Moon less strenuously than before, but this so-called ease was merely relative. In truth, she was still struggling against Remnant Moon at this moment; it was just considerably better compared to earlier.
Precisely because of this, facing Remnant Moon's fierce and relentless attacks, she could not successfully dodge every single one, and wounds were still occasionally left on her body by Remnant Moon.
After a few breaths, Big Sister had acquired four more wounds of varying depth on her body, but her hands, which had been forming seals, suddenly halted at that very moment.
“Spiritual Art, Doppelganger! ! ! ”
Big Sister ignored the wounds on her body; in this situation, time was of the essence, and she had no time to tend to her injuries. After completing the seals, she immediately conjured a paper effigy, injecting a large amount of Communication Power into it. A fierce gust of Yin wind swept up, and the paper effigy rapidly inflated like a balloon.
Dense Yin Qi enveloped the paper effigy, making it impossible to clearly see the changes occurring to it. However, one could sense a powerful fluctuation of energy continuously rising within the dense Yin Qi. m. biqmgètn
This scene was quite similar to when Big Sister performed Soul Fusion earlier, the only difference being that the commotion was far greater during her Soul Fusion.
Remnant Moon was still attacking, and its target had not changed; it was still Big Sister, not the paper effigy shrouded in Yin Qi. After Big Sister successfully dodged another one of Remnant Moon's blows, the Yin Qi enveloping the paper effigy burst apart, and a figure emerged.
This person had a face identical to Big Sister's; her attire, demeanor, and the aura she exuded were no different from Big Sister's before her Soul Fusion.
This person was naturally not the real Big Sister, but a doppelganger conjured by Big Sister through a Spiritual Art. Although this doppelganger looked exactly like her before her Soul Fusion, the power fluctuations it unleashed were significantly weaker than Big Sister's peak.
With the doppelganger successfully formed, it did not hesitate for a moment, nor did it waste a single word. Its hands immediately began to rapidly form seals, casting a Spiritual Art.
The power fluctuations unleashed by the doppelganger were not as strong as Big Sister's main body, but the doppelganger's seal-forming speed was not slow at all. Its ten fingers rapidly shifted, completing the seals in the blink of an eye.
“Spiritual Art! Cage! ! ! ”
This Spiritual Art was merely a very ordinary one. Given the capabilities of Big Sister's doppelganger, successfully casting this Spiritual Art was simple. If it only sought speed without prioritizing quality, it could even instantly cast the art without forming seals.
But it was Yang Haoran it had to deal with, not some small fry. If it were to instantly cast this Spiritual Art purely for speed, without regard for quality, then the power unleashed by this art would be very limited. Not only would it fail to achieve the desired effect, but it would also waste its own Communication Power.
Therefore, the doppelganger chose to form seals when casting this Spiritual Art and mobilized a large amount of Communication Power to empower it. Its sole purpose was to achieve its desired effect.
However, this art was, after all, just an ordinary Spiritual Art, and its seals were not complex. Thus, even with a large amount of Communication Power mobilized, it did not consume much of the doppelganger's time; the seals were completed almost instantly.
Remnant Moon was currently attacking Big Sister, but at this very moment, four stone pillars suddenly appeared around it. The clatter of chains colliding rang out as chains wrapped around the four stone pillars, and a cage successfully formed in the blink of an eye, trapping Remnant Moon within it.
After the cage formed, the doppelganger did not stop. Instead, it mobilized more Communication Power to reinforce the cage, intending to use this method to enhance the cage's defensive strength.
Remnant Moon was trapped within the cage. With Remnant Moon's terrifying power, no matter how the doppelganger reinforced the cage, it absolutely could not trap Remnant Moon for long.
This was certain, and Big Sister was well aware of it. She had no extravagant hope that the cage could trap Remnant Moon for a long time; it only needed to contain Remnant Moon for a short while.
Big Sister did not take this opportunity to attack Yang Haoran, as she knew such an action would be meaningless. With a wave of her arm, a small, black porcelain bottle was taken from her independent space. Then, with a light tap of her finger on the bottle's body, dense black smoke immediately spewed from its mouth, accompanied by excited ghost laughter and furious curses.
A large number of ghostly beings were released by Big Sister from the porcelain bottle. Some of these ghostly beings laughed excitedly at seeing the light of day again, while others cursed furiously due to being trapped inside the bottle.
The number of ghostly beings was large, and their strength was quite impressive; even the weakest ghostly being had reached the peak of the Evil Spirit realm. In addition to Evil Spirits, there were quite a few higher-ranked Evil Spirits as well.
Big Sister saw all the excited reactions of these ghostly beings, but she turned a blind eye to them and did not make a move against them, merely taking out a black elixir from her independent space and consuming it.
Big Sister had no intention of attacking these ghostly beings, but these ghostly beings had no intention of letting Big Sister go. The reason they were trapped in the porcelain bottle was entirely thanks to Big Sister. Now that they were free from the porcelain bottle, and Big Sister was right before them, how could they possibly let her go?
Some ghostly beings opened their mouths and bit towards Big Sister's head. Although they themselves knew that such an action would not cause Big Sister substantial harm, the rage in their hearts still made them choose to do so, because it was cathartic and would most directly make Big Sister feel their inner fury.
Other ghostly beings sought to use their ability to manipulate external objects to deal with Big Sister; some tried to possess Big Sister, while others aimed to harm Big Sister through Yin Qi.
Although the methods these ghostly beings wished to employ were different, one thing remained the same: they all wanted to kill Big Sister and make Big Sister die in fear.
Unfortunately, none of them succeeded. Just as they were about to attack Big Sister, a rune suddenly lit up on their Spirit Bodies.
The appearance of the rune caused extreme agony to all the ghostly beings, and they all let out shrill screams. In this state, they were completely powerless to attack Big Sister.
At the same time, a massive vortex suddenly appeared above Big Sister's head. The vortex was pitch black and rapidly spun above Big Sister's head. Inside this vortex, numerous blood-red runes could be clearly seen flashing; these runes were identical to those that had lit up on the ghostly beings present.
The black vortex rapidly spun, creating a powerful suction force. Faced with this powerful suction force, the ghostly beings present, their Spirit Bodies uncontrollably converged towards the vortex, and were completely devoured in the blink of an eye.
When the last ghostly being was devoured by the black vortex, the black vortex immediately dissipated. Big Sister, beneath where the vortex had been, her blood-red long hair wildly dancing, her Blood-Clad robes fluttering loudly, the power fluctuations erupting from her body rapidly surged once again at this very moment!
