Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 352 - 146: Slaying the Ghost King of the Ten Halls! Underworld Judge Appears! (Mega - , Please Subscribe)_3
And with each breath that passed, the blurry human shape became increasingly distinct.
The colossal head took on three dimensions.
Yet, instead of two eyes, there was only one vertical pupil.
The face of the Ghost King of the Ten Halls was pitch-black, unlike the complexion of humans, with two sharp fangs protruding beneath its lips. Coupled with the furious expression on its face, it looked extremely fierce and malevolent.
More intimidating than any wrathful deity statue in a Taoist Temple.
The vague form of the Ghost King of the Ten Halls’ body also became clearer.
It was visible that on its huge stature was draped an excessively exaggerated suit of armor, styled much like those worn by soldiers. Even atop its head was a fierce and impressive military helmet adorned with two long plumes, and trailing behind was an exaggeratedly long cape, making the ghost appear as a fierce general from an army.
In its hands, a giant weapon slowly materialized... in Fan Wu’s eyes, it resembled an exceedingly large guandao.
Because the Ghost King of the Ten Halls had transformed into a massive form, the great guandao seemed all the more gigantic to Fan Wu.
From within the Ghost King of the Ten Halls’ body, streaks of black threads spread out in all directions.
These dark threads did not attack Fan Wu, but instead fixated on the ground of the Netherworld... upon the countless indistinguishable bones of either humans or non-human creatures.
Under the guidance of the dark threads, the scattered bones began to come together.
A vast number of bones assembled before the Ghost King of the Ten Halls.
They started piling up, just like building blocks.
Soon, a massive warhorse composed of heaped bones was formed.
In the hollow sockets of the warhorse, a glimmer of ghostly green flame flashed.
As if it had "come to life."
It let out a piercing whinny.
The Ghost King of the Ten Halls mounted the backbone of the Skeleton Warhorse, and at that moment, seemed to recall the martial life it had led before death. With fierce battle intent filling its vertical pupil!
"Scoundrel!!!"
The guandao in its hand whipped up a skillful flourish, and its blade, touching the ground below with ease, cut a long gash into the soil of the Underworld.
"Meet your death!!!"
"Charge!!!"
The Ghost King of the Ten Halls spurred the Skeleton Warhorse fiercely, its four hooves pounding with force as they dove straight towards Fan Wu!
With one hand on the shoulder of the warhorse and the other grasping the long hilt of the guandao, the Ghost King allowed the blade to drag along the ground.
Only when it neared Fan Wu did it lift the guandao high.
Grasping its long handle with both hands.
Harnessing the power from the Skeleton Warhorse’s breakneck charge and its own explosive strength, the guandao arced through the air with a wide swing. The handle and blade tore through the Yin Energy of the Underworld, emitting an incredibly sharp screech and roar.
The back of the blade, trailing through the thickening Yin Energy, dragged a long black tail, and the blade aimed precisely at Fan Wu’s throat with deadly accuracy!
Facing this attack from the Ghost King of the Ten Halls, Fan Wu finally showed a slight, barely perceptible solemn expression; faint enough that he seemed to only be taking it half-seriously.
In his hand was the Demon-slaying Sword, which was much smaller than the Ghost King of the Ten Halls’ guandao, as if a guandao was facing off against a small dagger.
But still... with the Demon-slaying Sword in his hand, he fearlessly struck back!
In an instant!
A ghost and a horse clashed with Fan Wu in a flash, and the fleeting contact between sword and blade erupted in a high-pitched clang of metal.
The sparks that flew were conspicuously visible in the Underworld.
"Good!!" The Ghost King of the Ten Halls, seeing its attack had failed, did not become discouraged but instead laughed furiously, maneuvering its horse for another pass at Fan Wu.
The Skeleton Warhorse’s hooves lifted high.
In that moment, the guandao held by the Ghost King was also raised high.
The hooves of the Skeleton Warhorse landed thunderously.
The guandao in the hands of the Ghost King also came slashing down at the same moment.
The blade of the guandao alone was larger than Fan Wu himself.
One can only imagine the overwhelming pressure.
Yet Fan Wu was undaunted.
The blade of the guandao collided harshly with the blade of the Demon-slaying Sword for the second time. Invisible shockwaves swept out in all directions.
The surrounding Yin Energy was momentarily cleared by the strike but was quickly replenished from elsewhere.
Crack!!
The ground of the Underworld beneath Fan Wu’s feet began to crack, capable of withstanding the force of the Ghost King’s guandao, but the earth below was not.
"Come again!!!" The guandao of the Ghost King of the Ten Halls was lifted vigorously and chopped down again, as if determined to measure strength against Fan Wu and see who was the more powerful.
There was nothing fancy about this attack; as long as one was quick enough, it could be blocked.
Fan Wu did block it, but the ground beneath him had turned to dust.
He sunk down into it!
At that moment, a smug smile finally appeared on the enraged face of the Ghost King of the Ten Halls, "You insignificant upstart, now you realize the might of your Ghost King! When I was battling on the fields of war, your ancestors likely hadn’t even been born yet!"
