Chapter 739: The Increasingly Formidable Zhong Siyu
Blood-Clad ghosts are entities formed after death from individuals who endured immense torment during their lives, their resentment and hatred having reached a certain degree. Moreover, when the souls of this type of ghost coalesce into spirits, their strength is extraordinarily formidable; their starting point is far higher than other ghosts.
This young girl before him was precisely the kind who had endured inhumane torment for a long time during her life, and thus transformed into a Blood-Clad ghost after death.
Gazing at the young girl, Yang Haoran, who was usually so composed, felt a profound shock well up within him. However, what shocked him was not that the girl was a Blood-Clad Evil Spirit; what shocked him was the girl's identity.
Indeed, this girl was none other than Zhong Siyu, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.
After their parting at the Ghost Building, he had seen Zhong Siyu one more time. Since then, he had never seen this Blood-Clad girl again.
As time passed, the events he experienced and the problems he considered had nothing to do with Zhong Siyu. Thus, he gradually forgot about this girl.
But what he had never imagined was that, at this very moment, in this particular situation, he would actually see Zhong Siyu again—see this Blood-Clad Evil Spirit he had slowly forgotten.
The surge of power that suddenly appeared at this moment was precisely emanating from Zhong Siyu. The strength of this power fluctuation was actually quite a bit stronger than Zhang Changchun's father!
Zhong Siyu, also a ghost, found powerful ghosts fatally alluring. If she wanted to rapidly increase her strength, devouring ghosts was one of the excellent methods. The stronger the ghost, the greater the benefits she would gain after devouring it.
The old man was fighting the ghost released from the Town Soul Tower. If Zhong Siyu hadn't known about this matter, that would be one thing. But since she did know, how could she possibly not get involved?
Zhong Siyu's appearance caused the two combatants' expressions to change drastically. Neither of them had anticipated that at this critical moment, a Blood-Clad Evil Spirit would suddenly emerge, and this Blood-Clad Evil Spirit's strength was even above theirs.
Zhong Siyu's face bore a malevolent grin, her eyes filled with bloodthirsty cruelty. After she appeared, she wasted no words. Her spirit body immediately transformed into a cloud of Yin Qi and pounced on the ghost that had emerged from the Town Soul Tower.
This ghost had been suppressed in the Town Soul Tower for several years, and its strength was long past its peak.
After exiting the tower, it was then jointly attacked by Yang Haoran and the others; its spirit body suffered a certain degree of damage, and its strength was considerably depleted.
Then Zhang Changchun's father appeared. After a fierce struggle between the two, its condition naturally worsened. Let alone defeating Zhang Changchun's father, it even found resisting utterly futile.
By now, its strength was less than twenty or thirty percent of its peak. It had completely become an arrow at the end of its flight. Not to mention the sudden appearance of Zhong Siyu, who was even stronger than Zhang Changchun's father; even if Zhong Siyu hadn't appeared, it wouldn't have been able to hold out much longer against Zhang Changchun's father.
At this moment, it was already considerably weak.
It was aware of this, and others naturally could see it too.
Zhong Siyu did not choose to attack Zhang Changchun's father but instead chose to attack it. It naturally understood the reason: it was clear that she intended to eat it, the weakest "soft persimmon," first.
It knew it had no ability to resist. So the moment Zhong Siyu transformed into Yin Qi and pounced on it, its first thought was to immediately flee the area. Although it knew the chances of escape were almost zero, wanting to survive, even knowing the probability was zero, it still instinctively turned and fled into the distance.
However, how could its speed compare to Zhong Siyu's? The thought of fleeing had just emerged in its mind when the Yin Qi transformed from Zhong Siyu was already upon it. As it prepared to flee, the Yin Qi transformed from Zhong Siyu had already enveloped its spirit body.
A grinning face emerged from the Yin Qi. The features of this face were actually very beautiful, but the ferocity on its face and those bloodthirsty eyes uncontrollably gave people a chilling sensation.
With that malevolent grin, Zhong Siyu suddenly opened her mouth and bit down on the ghost entangled below!
All of this happened in an instant. From Zhong Siyu's appearance to her opening her mouth and biting the ghost, only a brief moment had passed. Yang Haoran and the others hadn't even recovered from their shock before the ghost was about to be swallowed by Zhong Siyu!
“How dare you! ! ! ”
Zhang Changchun was furious. Due to his excessive emotions, his face twisted into a contortion. No wonder his reaction was so extreme. He had painstakingly schemed to obtain this ghost. Now that he was finally about to succeed, such an unexpected event occurred. The fat meat already at his mouth was snatched away by someone else right before his eyes. How could he not be enraged?
As his furious roar echoed, his spirit body transformed into a cloud of Yin Qi, then rushed towards Zhong Siyu at maximum speed. He wanted to interrupt Zhong Siyu this way and snatch this "fat meat" back from her grasp.
Consumed by rage, he overlooked a crucial point at this moment. That was, the power fluctuation Zhong Siyu was currently emitting was several times stronger than his own. What right did he have to snatch the prey back from Zhong Siyu's hands?
Only desiring to reclaim his prey, he hadn't considered this question at all. Thus, without the slightest hesitation, he immediately rushed towards Zhong Siyu at his fastest speed.
His furious roar had no effect whatsoever. And his frenzied charge towards Zhong Siyu also failed to attract Zhong Siyu's attention. Zhong Siyu simply ignored him, and as if no one else was present, swallowed the controlled ghost in one gulp!
Although the controlled ghost resisted with all its might, its abilities were limited at this moment. Excessive consumption coupled with damage to its spirit body rendered it extremely weak. Thus, it failed to break free from Zhong Siyu's control. Its desperate resistance was like a joke in front of Zhong Siyu. Not only did it fail to break free, it only deepened its inner fear. Finally, it watched helplessly as Zhong Siyu swallowed it whole!
The instant Zhong Siyu successfully swallowed the ghost, Zhang Changchun's father, brimming with fury, had already charged towards Zhong Siyu. A massive, enraged face revealed itself within the Yin Qi. Judging by his reckless, frenzied appearance, it seemed as if he intended to snatch back the ghost Zhong Siyu had swallowed.
At the same time, Zhang Changchun also recovered from his shock. Seeing the ghost snatched away, he no longer cared about Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing. As he charged towards Zhong Siyu's location, he activated the array disk in his hand and targeted Zhong Siyu as his attack objective.
A colossal magical formation coalesced above Zhong Siyu's head. Streaks of white holy light shot out from the formation one after another, bombarding Zhong Siyu below!
Zhong Siyu let out a string of bloodthirsty, malevolent laughs. As her spirit body reformed, she immediately launched a counterattack. A furious burst of power forced Zhang Changchun's father back, then she struck with lightning speed, not only scattering the descending holy light but even shattering the formation above with a single blow.
Her power was already incredibly formidable to begin with, especially after devouring another ghost. Her strength increased at an astonishing speed. With every movement, the power she unleashed was terrifying.
Holy light inherently possessed a strong suppressive effect against all dark forces. However, with such a vast disparity in power between the two sides, the holy light was no match for the power Zhong Siyu unleashed.
Zhang Changchun's father was seething with rage, muttering angrily. Zhang Changchun also wore a dark expression, cold sweat continuously rolling down his forehead. On the contrary, Zhong Siyu kept letting out hearty, triumphant laughter.
The two sides clashed in battle. Although Zhang Changchun's side had two individuals while Zhong Siyu was alone, Zhang Changchun's side was consistently on the back foot. They were directly suppressed by Zhong Siyu's formidable power. If this continued, it was feared that in just a moment, the two of them would be completely defeated.
By then, let alone Zhang Changchun and his father retrieving the ghost from Zhong Siyu's body, they themselves would also become Zhong Siyu's food. Especially Zhang Changchun's father, who was also a ghost, was a great tonic in Zhong Siyu's eyes. She certainly wouldn't miss out.
