"Humans, do you know why, over these tens of millions of years, my Ghost Clan has reigned supreme over the Human Race?"

Misgu’s body was enveloped in a black glow, slowly converging onto his palm. To buy time, he began to talk about something unrelated with Su Ran.

"How would I know about the matters of the last century? Spit it out if you have something to say, and fart if you need to!"

With a scowl, Su Ran responded, his gaze fixed on the black protective shield outside the Ghost Prison General’s body, knowing that the moment this invincible barrier disappeared, it would spell the demise of this BOSS!

"Hahaha, it’s because my Ghost Clan possesses a secret technique that restrains you humans!"

No sooner had Misgu’s words fallen than the black glow in his palm reached its peak. With a ferocious smile, he hurled the dark orb in his hand in a roar, "Foolish humans, meet your death, Ghost Clan secret technique—Life-Stealing Attack!!!"

"Whoosh!"

The orb, like a meteor, pierced through the barrier of snakes and streaked toward Su Ran in the distance.

"Damn it, a big BOSS like you resorting to trickery!"

Su Ran cried out in annoyance. He hadn’t anticipated a sneak attack from the Ghost Prison General and, faced with this powerful ranged attack, he dared not take it head-on. Forgetting his dignity, he bolted, constantly changing direction, trying to dodge this sinister Ghost Clan secret technique.

This damned Ghost Prison General had been delaying time just to use this secret technique!

Since the BOSS’s black shield was up, Su Ran hadn’t been in a rush to attack, which ironically allowed the Ghost Prison General to succeed. It wasn’t hard to guess that the protective state of the shield on the general did not involve invincibility; it was just that the attacks weren’t strong enough to show any damage.

Miscalculated...

"Haha, think you can escape the pursuit of Life-Stealing Attack? Give up that hope!"

After releasing the attack, Misgu’s state utterly weakened. The black glow dissipated, and he crashed heavily to the ground. In this weakened state, even the venomous snakes could breach his defenses. A single Poison Gas Bomb from the Eternal Venomous Serpent could unleash tremendous power, leaving the Ghost Prison General unable to even raise his head.

The Sand Puppet was mercilessly kicking the man when he was down, its solid sand fists repeatedly slamming into Misgu’s body, with thumping sounds that resonated non-stop, a sound so satisfying to hear!

"Human, this general will make you understand the fear when death is imminent!"

At this moment, Misgu seemed like a madman, utterly disregarding the damage inflicted upon him. His shrill laughter echoed throughout the tomb space, his blood-red eyes fixated on Su Ran, darting to and fro, waiting to see the scene he had foreseen.

"Damn it, it’s a technique with homing properties!"

Su Ran felt frustrated. No matter how much he dodged or which direction he chose, he was relentlessly pursued by the ranged attack, and even having the Sand Puppet shield him was futile in stopping the pursuit of Life-Stealing Attack. The black glow tenaciously locked onto Su Ran’s figure, rapidly closing the distance, as a sense of danger descended.

"If escape is impossible, then I’ll just have to withstand it!"

Faced with this persistent and unyielding secret technique attack, Su Ran simply gave up running and summoned the Sand Shield, confronting the Ghost Clan secret technique, Life-Stealing Attack, head-on.

However, to Su Ran’s disappointment, the Sand Shield failed to provide effective protection. The black glow passed straight through it, smashing furiously onto Su Ran’s black robe.

"Hahaha, humans, the flower of fear is about to bloom. Your life force ebbs to replenish this general’s origin. I’m curious to see how you’ll survive this crisis!"

Seeing the attack hit its mark, the Ghost Prison General Misgu laughed uncontrollably. He could already picture, after gaining the replenishment of life energy, his strength would be restored, and the scene of him torturing these undead pets would be exhilarating!

But fate always has a sense of humor.

Misgu’s grating laughter hadn’t even faded when his smile froze upon witnessing the scene before him.

He discovered that, under the Life Returning Radiance state, Su Ran was as if nothing had happened. He patted the dust off his body, stretched his arms and legs with some confusion, and showed no signs of change. Well, that’s not right. There was a slight change; the black glow clinging to his body was gradually dissipating.

"What’s going on?"

Seeing that nothing happened to him after being hit by the attack, Su Ran couldn’t help but be puzzled. Was this the Ghost Prison General’s ultimate move, looking fierce but actually useless?

Damn it, he had been scared for nothing. Misgu would have to compensate for this emotional distress!

"No... This is impossible!"

Misgu watched Su Ran, dumbfounded, feeling as if his world view had collapsed. He couldn’t understand why his unfailingly effective secret technique had failed against this human.

"Hey, old man, did you skip breakfast today or what? How come your big move doesn’t pack any punch after you worked so hard to cast it?"

After shaking his hips to make sure he wasn’t affected by any negative status, Su Ran swaggered toward the Ghost Prison General, not forgetting to mock him, "But I can’t say it was totally useless. At least it felt like a sublime life enhancement to me–I’m in a great mood! Hey, can you hit me with Life Returning Radiance one more time? I promise I won’t dodge this time!"

Upon hearing this, Misgu immediately vomited three liters of blood.

This damned Human Race actually treated the secret technique of the Ghost Clan as a common trick? Just gathering the power for this one move had nearly cost him half of his life!

"Human, can you tell this general how you countered Life Returning Radiance? Even if I am to die, I could rest in peace!"

At this moment, Misgu, utterly devoid of the strength to resist, lay on the ground like a dead dog, completely giving up the struggle. His eyes were filled with unwillingness, hoping to get the answer he desired from Su Ran’s mouth.

"You want to rest in peace? I’m still confused! Who knows what happened here..."

Taking the opportunity, Su Ran unleashed a series of ice arrows, still chatting with the BOSS, "By the way, tell me, does Life Returning Radiance have any special effects? Maybe I can figure out the reason!"

After finishing speaking, Su Ran released another ice arrow, hitting the prone Ghost Prison General without any mercy.

"Humph!"

Seeing Su Ran’s utter disregard for the Ghost Clan secret technique, the Ghost Prison General snorted coldly, enduring the torment upon his body while weakly saying, "The Ghost Clan’s secret technique is the most supreme existence. Any creature of flesh and blood cannot escape the punishment of Life Returning Radiance! As for you, I cannot comprehend it!"

"Creature of flesh and blood?"

Upon hearing this, Su Ran suddenly understood and couldn’t help but burst into laughter, his mouth splitting wide open. If he had tear glands, he probably would have cried tears of laughter right there.

"Old Iron, you’ve lost fair and square!"

"Lost fair and square?"

The Ghost Prison General immediately perked up, as if revived by a Life Returning Radiance, gaining some strength. He flung away the snakes around him, not caring about his dwindling health, and asked urgently, "Human, have you figured out the answer?"

"Even if you knew, what would it change? You’re already a dead man walking. Why do you care so much? Just die!"

Su Ran certainly wasn’t going to kindly explain the reason. It was his exclusive secret for feigning weakness and deception; once out, it wouldn’t work anymore!

Finally, with Su Ran’s relentless assault, he successfully made the Ghost Prison General die a wrongful death, unable to find peace even in the end. Right afterward, there was the sound of items clattering to the ground as loads of equipment and props burst forth, nearly blinding Su Ran with their flash.
