Chapter 353 Soul Song
Minghuang looked forward again. At that moment, Kailin waved the dagger in her hand, glaring at him with hatred in her eyes. Mo Yan followed closely behind, standing between him and Kailin, attempting to diffuse the situation through the illusion of misunderstanding.
"You bastard, he's just a child, and you actually treated him so cruelly!" Karen roared.
"Child? Ha, hahahaha..." Minghuang laughed wildly, but suddenly, his laughter stopped abruptly, and a hint of danger flashed in his eyes. "Don't laugh to death, guests, take a good look. Does this so-called child you are talking about have any injuries on his body at this moment?"
Karen was stunned when she heard this, and subconsciously looked at the place where An had just been. The stone floor beside the fountain was not clean, but apart from the marks of being burned by lightning, there was not even a drop of blood on the scars on An's body.
"This...how could this happen? I clearly saw it just now..." At this time, Karen looked at the injuries on An's body carefully again.
As expected, although he was severely injured by lightning, thick black smoke was emitting from his wounds. After the black smoke cleared, all his wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"This is not the recovery speed that a human can achieve." Mo Yan's voice was low and alert, and the sword tip was already aimed at An.
Kailin's pupils shrank slightly, and she gripped the dagger tighter in her hand. She obviously couldn't believe her eyes: "How is it possible? How could this happen... An actually..."
"See? This so-called child before you isn't human at all, aside from his human body and human functions." Minghuang sneered, his voice filled with sarcasm and ridicule. "He's a long-dead spirit. Only the undead have such a regeneration speed. Isn't that right? He's the fifth in command of the Fallen Angel Brigade and the last wielder of the Fallen Angel element, 'Demon Shatterer' Phantom."
At this moment, An had taken off the cloak that concealed his identity, revealing the undead armor that was originally inside.
At this moment, Kailin and Mo Yan were obviously stunned.
"Fallen Angel... Troupe? Phantom?" she exclaimed, realizing how foolish her previous actions had been. Since she had invited the Troupe to her side, if this were to succeed, it was hard to imagine what they would do.
Phantom slowly stood up, his undead armor gleaming with a dim purple light. He raised his hand to wipe away the nonexistent blood from the corner of his mouth, sighing softly, "That's right, big sister. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to deceive you, but I had my reasons."
"Come on, no matter what excuse you give, it won't change the fact that you're all part of the brigade causing chaos in Linglang." Minghuang waved his hand and smiled again. "I understand. You sneaked into the city with the intention of gathering intelligence and looking for what you wanted, but you accidentally ran into these two guests. I have to say, it's a coincidence of fate, isn't it?"
Phantom was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "So, Master Minghuang, are you planning to capture me alone?"
"Catch? You're flattering me. We in the Four Poles have our own rules. Sometimes, when we encounter an enemy who doesn't care about life or death, or who is stronger than us, our only option is to kill them with all our might!" As he spoke, he drew the scimitar at his waist, "even if it means we both perish!"
"Really? I'm sorry, I still have a mission and I'm not interested in dying with you for the time being." The Phantom's figure suddenly began to twist, and the air around him seemed to be torn apart by some force, and darkness spread from under his feet like a tide.
In the blink of an eye, the three were brought to an unfamiliar area. The land was covered with scorched earth and filled with the breath of death. Undead monsters kept climbing up and making shrill screams.
"Song of the Soul, Annihilation and Illusion."
The Phantom's voice echoed through the void, and the purple light on the Undead's armor suddenly surged. Countless skeletons crawled out of the scorched earth, forming a dreadful white wave that surged towards the three of them.
Kailin spun the dagger in her palm and suddenly laughed at herself. "Ha... I actually bought lunch for the undead?" She suddenly cut off the first skeleton that rushed towards her. "This will definitely be on the list of stupid things of the year..."
"That only works if you can go back." Mo Yan complained again.
As soon as he finished speaking, bursts of dazzling white light rose from not far away. It turned out to be Minghuang. He held a scimitar in his hand and shuttled through the group of undead like a white flash. Wherever he passed, lightning exploded and bones shattered.
"Hmph, naive. Don't you know that the dead are most afraid of thunder and lightning?" Minghuang's scimitar drew a dazzling flash of lightning, instantly splitting the oncoming army of skeletons into two halves.
He stood in the center of the lightning, his white hair dancing wildly, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit. "How dare a mere undead being so presumptuous in front of 'Lightning'?"
That's right, lightning is the most powerful offensive weapon against undead monsters that are driven only by the souls of the dead. With just a little effort, the souls of the dead can be shattered. Therefore, it is a natural nemesis for the phantom, the incarnation of the undead.
But he forgot the most important point: two fists cannot beat four hands.
Minghuang's Bai Ting can indeed effectively defeat the undead army, but here, in the environment of Phantom Casting, the undead are endless. Unless they are actively released, the offensive will not stop until the opponent is killed in battle.
This was also Phantom's escape plan. He relied on the secret realm to hold Minghuang back, while he took advantage of the chaos to escape.
In the distance, Ming Huang was still locked in a desperate battle with the Undead army, but only Kailin and Mo Yan escaped the siege. Just as they were puzzled, Phantom suddenly teleported and stood between them.
"Sister Kailin, thank you for the lunch box. That was the first time I felt warmth since I lost my family." He said in a flat but sad tone.
Kailin's hand gripping the dagger trembled slightly, with anger and confusion in her eyes: "Why are you and I talking about this?"
"I didn't mean to lie to you, it's just..." Phantom's voice suddenly became erratic, and the purple light on the Undead Armor began to flicker. "I had my reasons for doing this, but I can guarantee that everything I said before was true."
"When I was alive, I lost my parents to a locust plague. Everyone called me a disaster and hanged me on the gallows. After my death, the village was destroyed because of me. Because of this power, there is no turning back. That's why I joined the Fallen Angel Brigade, and the Demon Lord gave me a new life. Now, we are strangers, but my sister, An, is the only one who does not want to be your enemy."
As soon as the words fell, the Phantom's figure quickly dissipated with the flow of elemental force. As the dark light particles completely floated into the sky, the Phantom left, but soon his echo was heard around again.
"Please rest assured, my purpose is only to delay. Once I have safely retreated, the barrier will naturally disappear."
After the Phantom's voice faded, the black mist within the undead barrier gradually thinned. Kailin froze in place, the dagger hanging at her side, her fingertips trembling slightly.
