Ch 145: Ghost

Almost at the same moment Li Yu prepared to launch an attack, the Woman in White instantly sensed Li Yu’s intentions. Its head suddenly turned 180 degrees.

“Ah—”

A sharp, piercing shriek came from the woman’s mouth, chilling one to the bone.

The white figure pounced toward Li Yu with the speed of lightning.

The moment the Armor-Piercing Arrow was released…

The Nightmare Beast on the crossbow suddenly widened its eyes, and a heart-stopping Cold Light burst forth from its eyes!

The Woman in White, which had been rushing towards him, froze in mid-air as if struck by a Paralyzing Spell, unable to move.

Even its originally blurry, ethereal form became incredibly clear in that fleeting moment, no longer the elusive state it had been before.

The arrow, which should have pierced through the Woman in White’s body without any hindrance, now seemed to have struck a solid object.

With a loud “Bang!”

The Woman in White that had been hit instantly exploded, turning into a highly unusual White Mist that rapidly spread.

Suddenly, a tremendously strong suction force came from Li Yu’s crossbow.

This suction force was like an invisible giant hand, firmly grasping the scattering White Mist and pulling it back with incredible speed.

In the blink of an eye, all the White Mist surged towards the crossbow like a tide, constantly being devoured and absorbed by the eye on it.

Finally, the White Mist was completely absorbed, all converging into the Nightmare Beast’s eye and disappearing without a trace.

The Vagrants who had been ready to flee instantly widened their eyes, their gazes filled with disbelief.

“What did I see?”

“Didn’t the Alliance Leader just kill a Ghostly Being?”

“Absolutely right, a terrifying Woman in White Ghostly Being.”

“My goodness! The Alliance Leader can even kill devils and monsters!”

The Vagrants were flushed with excitement, their bodies trembling slightly from exhilaration.

After witnessing Li Yu kill the Ghostly Being, the Vagrants wholeheartedly believed Ma Yuanbai’s earlier words.

Alliance Leader Li Yu is the world’s strongest Marksman! No one can withstand that One Arrow.

At this moment, all the Vagrants’ Suspicion and Hesitation vanished.

Because even Ghostly Beings couldn’t withstand Li Yu’s One Arrow, let alone people.

The Vagrants looked at Li Yu with deep awe and fervent Adoration, gaining a new Cognition of the Alliance Leader’s Strength.

Li Yu saw the White Mist formed by the Ghostly Being, ultimately being absorbed by the eye on the crossbow.

He immediately guessed that it must be related to the Nightmare Beast.

Recalling the transparent form the Woman in White had exhibited, Li Yu even suspected that its spatial dimension was different.

But Li Yu knew that even raindrops couldn’t fall on the white shadow, and his arrows couldn’t either.

And a non-corporeal Ghostly Being was absolutely impossible to kill with one arrow.

The Nightmare Beast that had just absorbed the White Mist must know something.

Li Yu then lifted the shield on the Nightmare Beast and asked in his Spiritual Sea:

“What did you do?”

“Hmph, I merely did you a small favor.” The Nightmare Beast’s Voice came, carrying a hint of arrogance.

Although it felt incredibly satisfied after absorbing the White Mist, and its own Strength had also recovered.

But fearing detection by Li Yu, it still suppressed its inner joy, trying not to let its emotions show.

Li Yu’s eyes flickered, and he deliberately pressed further: “Ghosts have no physical form, they are invincible, how could you help?”

“Hahaha…” The Nightmare Beast suddenly laughed:

“Invincible? You make me laugh, that’s just Physical Immunity.”

The Nightmare Beast’s Voice echoed in Li Yu’s mind, its tone full of disdain for the Woman in White.

“Physical Immunity?”

Hearing this, Li Yu was shocked, and quickly continued to ask in the Spiritual Sea:

“How did you know?”

“Of course I know.” The Nightmare Beast’s Voice sounded again, sounding confident:

“Because I also originally belonged to that kind of Creature.”

“Could it be that it was really a Ghostly Being?” Li Yu’s tone couldn’t hide his surprise.

“Not quite a Ghostly Being, it can only be considered a Ghost.”

The Nightmare Beast replied casually, with a hint of disdain in its tone.

“But I’m different!”

The Nightmare Beast suddenly became energetic, excitedly introducing itself to Li Yu.

“Our Race is the most powerful Race among Ghosts, through continuous evolution, we surpassed all Ghosts and obtained real bodies!”

“I, am even the best among all Nightmare Beasts, a Genius among geniuses! I…”

The Voice abruptly stopped.

Li Yu couldn’t take it anymore and shielded the Nightmare Beast’s Voice again.

However, he also learned that the strange white figure was called a—Ghost.

Li Yu silently memorized this name in his heart.

Although its Voice was shielded by Li Yu, this time the Nightmare Beast showed no struggle or dissatisfaction, behaving very abnormally.

At this moment, it seemed relieved, showing no resistance.

It had successfully deceived Li Yu.

The Nightmare Beast’s consciousness floated in Li Yu’s Spiritual Sea, even if it tried its best, it couldn’t use a Curse to harm Li Yu.

It seemed to be imprisoned on the crossbow, unable to escape.

As the White Mist was completely absorbed by the Nightmare Beast, after completely Devouring the Ghost, a hint of white appeared under the black Giant Eye, looking even more strange and terrifying.

The Nightmare Beast suppressed its extreme excitement, thinking to itself: ‘This won’t last long.’

Li Yu slowly opened his eyes and put away the crossbow.

Only after the Woman in White’s figure completely dissipated did Ma Yuanbai come to his senses.

He looked at Li Yu, his face showing an expression of disbelief:

“Li Yu, you… how did you do it?”

“Just luck.” Li Yu’s expression returned to calm, he replied indifferently.

He didn’t reveal too much, after all, he himself didn’t understand what a Ghost was yet.

But Ma Yuanbai clearly didn’t buy it, he curled his lips, glanced back at the Vagrants behind him, only to see eagerness and Excitement in their eyes.

Seeing this, a subtle smile suddenly appeared on Ma Yuanbai’s face, as if a new idea had sprung up in his mind.

Immediately, he turned around without hesitation, facing the Vagrants behind him, and shouted at the top of his lungs:

“Is Alliance Leader Li Yu amazing!”

“Amazing!” The Vagrants responded in unison.

Ma Yuanbai nodded in satisfaction, and then continued to press on:

“Was what I said correct!”

“Correct!” Everyone shouted together, their expressions excited.

Ma Yuanbai waved his hand sharply and shouted, “Then now, let’s all shout the slogan!”

“Loyalty! Loyalty! Loyalty!”
