Chapter 604: The Blood-Clad Evil Spirit
Mo Jingnan's single move shattered Huo Laoban's Ghost Art, the Ghost Fiend Soul Chain, instantly boosting the morale of the Spirit Mediums!
<r>Coupled with the Night Watchers' bodies lying in pools of blood on the ground, these Spirit Mediums felt even more delighted. Mo Jingnan's formidable power seemed to grant them a strong sense of security.
<r>Conversely, Yang Haoran's side saw their Night Watchers' morale drop. After all, half of them had tragically died in just a short moment, and they knew very well that it would likely be their turn next.
<r>Though they were willing to give their all for their beliefs, even sacrificing their lives, if the disparity in strength between the two sides was too great, and they were constantly being overwhelmed, it inevitably bred pessimism in their hearts.
<r>"We've had our appetizers; now it's time for the main course!"
<r>Mo Jingnan stopped the explosive music. He cast his gaze upon the dispersed Spirit Mediums below, then gently pointed a finger at a few of them.
<r>A surge of Yin Qi suddenly enveloped these Spirit Mediums. With a sweep of the Yin Qi, they were simultaneously lifted onto the high platform.
<r>Among these Spirit Mediums, two were severely wounded. One had lost an arm—the very same individual who had ambushed Yang Haoran earlier, only to have his arm severed by Yang Haoran's palm.
<r>The other, also severely wounded, had been injured by Huo Laoban during an earlier ambush attempt.
<r>
Mo Jingnan forcibly pulled them onto the high platform without a word, causing their expressions to change drastically. They all assumed Mo Jingnan intended to harm them. Just as they prepared to resist, Mo Jingnan spoke.m.bg.
<r>"You few will remain on this high platform. You are not to participate in the coming battle, for it would only be a pointless sacrifice. For now, enjoy the show. As long as I live, I will not let you lose your lives."
<r>Mo Jingnan's words startled these Spirit Mediums. They had genuinely not expected that Mo Jingnan had forcibly brought them onto the platform for their protection.
<r>Before they could fully react, Mo Jingnan addressed the other Spirit Mediums below the platform: "You may now unleash all your techniques and display your strongest abilities. Should you be gravely wounded and lose your combat effectiveness, this platform will have a place for you. I will protect your lives, and my God will also shelter you!"
<r>Mo Jingnan's actions seemed to mock the leading Huo Laoban, almost like a provocation. His protection of the Spirit Mediums stood in stark contrast to Huo Laoban's arrangements for the Night Watchers.
<r>The Spirit Mediums present were now filled with both surprise and joy. Even those who had come under Mo Jingnan's threat had their perception of him drastically altered. In their eyes, Mo Jingnan didn't seem as utterly evil as they had imagined.
<r>Conversely, those on Yang Haoran's side looked uncomfortable, and the smile on Huo Laoban's face became even more forced than before.
<r>"All Night Watchers are to retreat outside the Hongyu Cement Plant and jointly establish a prohibitory barrier formation to seal off this area, preventing ordinary people from approaching and stopping the commotion from being perceived by the outside world."
<r>Huo Laoban now issued his command. This decision deviated from his original plan, but given the current situation, he resolved to proceed this way.
<r>The surviving Night Watchers present seemed hesitant. To retreat to the perimeter now might appear as though they feared the Spirit Mediums. Furthermore, they couldn't discern whether Huo Laoban was testing them or genuinely ordering them to withdraw, thus their hesitation.
<r>"Immediately. This is an order. " Huo Laoban continued, his voice gaining a hint of sternness.
<r>The Night Watchers no longer hesitated. They dispersed, their bodies flickering several times before vanishing into the night, surrounding the entire Hongyu Cement Plant. They then collaboratively set up the prohibitory barrier formation as per Huo Laoban's instructions.
<r>"I will handle the one who plays music. The other Spirit Mediums present are entrusted to the five of you. " At this point, Huo Laoban looked at Yang Haoran and continued, "Emissary Yang, your mission remains unchanged. We will proceed according to our previous plan!"
<r>Yang Haoran said little, simply nodding to indicate he understood.
<r>While Huo Laoban was making his simple arrangements, Mo Jingnan was not idle. He leaped from the high platform, then pointed a finger at it. A black protective shield emerged, enveloping the entire platform and all the Spirit Mediums within it.
<r>He had not broken his word; he truly protected the severely wounded and the Spirit Mediums without Guardian Spirits on the high platform. Regardless of the shield's defensive power, his actions demonstrated his trustworthiness to the Spirit Mediums present.
<r>It was precisely for this reason that the Spirit Mediums not only changed their opinion of him but the vast majority even developed a sense of awe. Their already improved morale was once again boosted.
<r>When Huo Laoban finished his brief arrangements, Mo Jingnan also retracted his hand. He laughed exaggeratedly at the Spirit Mediums present: "I don't have as many rules as those Underworld dogs. You can deal with whomever you wish; don't give them any face. As for their leading Underworld Official, leave him to me. Now then, heheh. . . let the games begin!"
<r>As his voice fell, Mo Jingnan violently ripped the strap of his electric guitar from around his neck, then hurled the instrument directly at the leading Huo Laoban!
<r>The true battle between the two sides erupted the moment Mo Jingnan threw his electric guitar at Huo Laoban!
<r>Empowered by Communication Power, the electric guitar was no longer an ordinary instrument. Enveloped in dense Yin Qi, it hurtled towards Huo Laoban at an incredibly fast speed.
<r>As the electric guitar was about to smash into Huo Laoban's face, he remained motionless. A black barrier, however, shimmered into existence before him, deflecting the electric guitar.
<r>Boom!
<r>The electric guitar exploded, and a mass of Yin Qi surgically forth from within it, transforming in mid-air into an Evil Spirit (evil spirit) with blood-red eyes.
<r>Assessing the strength of an Evil Spirit (evil Spirit) is not solely determined by the Yin Qi emanating from its Spirit Body. The depth and hue of an Evil Spirit's (evil Spirit) blood-red eyes also serve as a standard for judging its power.
<r>The evil Spirit (evil Spirit) that emerged from the electric guitar was male. The Yin Qi radiating from its Spirit Body was incredibly potent, and its eyes glowed a deep crimson, as if blood might drip from them at any moment. From these two points alone, one could discern the formidable Power of this Evil Spirit (Evil Spirit).
<r>Compared to a normal Evil Spirit (evil Spirit), this one exhibited a significant difference: ordinary Evil Spirits (evil spirits) simply had blood-red eyes, and their spectral clothing was typically normal in color. Although their clothing was conjured from Yin Qi, this aspect usually remained unchanged.
<r>However, the Evil Spirit (evil Spirit) before he was clad in blood-red robes, with blood-red Yin Qi continuously dripping from its spectral garments. Once the blood separated from the robes, it would soon dissipate into Yin Qi.
<r>For a ghost to possess such blood-red robes, it wasn't merely a matter of wearing red before death, nor could it be conjured by their own Yin Qi. Red robes conjured by Yin Qi differed greatly from true blood-red robes; the former could never possess the eerie sensation of the latter, nor could they drip blood.
<r>For an Evil Spirit (evil spirit) to be clad in blood-red robes, there was only one possibility: having suffered inhumane torture for a prolonged period during life, accumulating an unimaginable depth of resentment. Only then could they transform into an Evil Spirit (evil spirit) after death and possess such blood-red robes.
<r>Such Evil Spirits (evil Spirits) were referred to by the Underworld Office as congenital Evil Spirits (evil Spirits). They differed greatly from Evil Spirits (evil spirits) formed through the post-mortem consumption of other ghosts, with the former being far more brutal, more ferocious, and naturally more powerful than their later counterparts!
<r>As Yang Haoran gazed at this Evil Spirit (evil Spirit) clad in blood-red robes, his brow furrowed involved. He had encountered such congenital Evil Spirits (evil Spirits) before; Zhong Siyu from the Ghost Building had been one. He hadn't expected to encounter another one today.
<r>The Evil Spirit's (Evil Spirit) Spirit Body fully condensed, revealing a twisted smile to Huo Laoban below. This smile was not only grotesque but also conveyed a sense of cruelty.
<r>"Don't mind me, move quickly!"
<r>Seeing Yang Haoran and the others still frozen in place, Huo Laoban couldn't help but remind them, his smile now much more restrained than before.
<r>Since Huo Laoban had spoken, the others no longer hesitated. Each locked onto an opponent and immediately launched a fierce assault.
<r>Meanwhile, Yang Haoran, at this very moment, flashed forward, charging towards the high platform enveloped in the protective shield!
