Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 235 - 113: Husband and Wife Side by Side, Ghost Realm Border
He took the bow, feeling as if it was glued to his hand, yet surprisingly, his power remained unchanged.
The fact that there was no change was already the greatest surprise.
Because, Li Yuan could only reach an overall capability of "1140~1890" with a blade, and this "1890" number, besides Blood Burst, could only be achieved using the Overlord Blade, Demon Blade, or Absolute Blade.
However, there were differences among these three Sword Dao techniques, which needed real combat to confirm specifically.
Yet now, just by holding this bow, his archery had reached the same level as using a blade.
His strongest archery technique was the Seventh Grade Ultimate Skill ———— Cloud-piercing.
While his Overlord Blade was already at Sixth Grade Perfection.
Of course, Perfection was still a level lower than Peak because Perfection could be achieved by Add Points, whereas an Ultimate Skill did not exist; it needed to be created by oneself.
Even so, the gap between Cloud-piercing and Overlord Blade was vast, as if the Absolute Blade was a type of sword skill above City Destruction.
This bow, however, compensated for all these gaps.
Li Yuan glanced at the information.
As expected, the Equipment Bar had an additional line: Ghost Bow.
"My dear, when you use this bow, the blood on it will flow out, slowly covering your hand, arm, and then spreading to your entire body.
But you must never let it cover your face; otherwise... this bow will turn into a terrifying curse."
Li Yuan took out sixteen Copper Pendants and asked, "Can these resist the curse?"
Lady Yan in White Clothes paused for a moment.
Li Yuan first put away the bow, grabbing the Dragon Blade Spear and headed east.
When he arrived at the border between the Black Market Ghost Realm and the Human Skin Rouge Shop, he raised his hand and "smack" planted the Dragon Blade Spear into the ground, then looked into the distance and drew out the Ghost Bow.
He pulled the bowstring, testing the bow.
Instantly, he felt his perception rapidly extending outward, places and sounds originally unclear became all distinct.
The distance expanded to a full ten miles, almost covering the entire East Market and North City.
As for arrows... they seemed unnecessary.
Swoosh...
A drop of blood surged from Li Yuan’s fingertip.
The blood entered the string.
The bow formed a full moon.
Whoosh!
Equivalent to an Ancestral Shadow Blood shot out, instantly landing on a distant pavilion, then turned into gray smoke rising up.
In that instant, Li Yuan felt like he had stirred up a hornet’s nest.
The door of the pavilion creaked open, with a line of "people" emerging who had pitch-black double pupils, nostrils, and mouths.
But on closer inspection, they weren’t people, but rather inflated human skins.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!
Arrows flew out like meteors.
The blood-colored meteors fell on the human skins.
With each impact, the skins would "hiss" as gray smoke spiraled up, then fall down.
After about seven or eight skins fell.
Those human skins suddenly halted and then lowered their heads, as if putting on makeup.
Once they rose again, those human skins possessed faces.
Li Yuan’s pupils narrowed because those faces were of the shop owner, of Xiao Ping’an, of Pang Yuanhua, of Master Li, of the familiar faces of friends and relatives... yet Lady Yan and Xiaozhao were not among them.
Resolute, he shot another blood drop.
The skins fell again, seven or eight more.
Once more, the skins stopped and began applying makeup.
Once finished, not just the faces but even the body shapes were identical, as if living people stood there. If not for knowing they were ghosts, Li Yuan might believe they were real.
He kept shooting.
The skins continued to fall.
New skins once again started to apply makeup.
This time, they took a long time on the makeup.
When those skins raised their heads once more, Li Yuan was taken aback, for this time... all the skins had turned into him.
Not just that, those skins with a slight flick of their sleeves, revealed Dragon Blade Spears.
In Li Yuan’s eyes, lines of "684" information flashed.
They were weakened versions of him.
About sixty percent of his power’s lower limit.
The power of the Evil Ghost and the items sold were similar, meaning Li Yuan knew the subsequent effect of the Rouge Box: to transform into someone else’s likeness, and possess part of their power?
Under the waning moon, in the Ghost Realm, Ghost Wife stood beside Li Yuan, watching the wax-yellow human skins fluttering in the wind. Behind her... pale crawling women began to emerge.
She wanted to fully control the new body while still conscious, for Xiaozhao, and for her dear husband.
Once she sleeps, the Ghost Trader will have the Human-Skinned Ghost Servant attack the Black Market.
The balance among ghosts had been achieved, each unable to act against the other, leaving only the battle between Ghost Servants within the territory.
