Chapter 256: Between Life And Death, The Bride Follows Forever
Looking at the woman figure beside him who was like a bride, as well as the extra pair of hands on the Human Skin Paper, Yang Jian’s whole body suddenly tensed up at this moment, his pupils contracted, and an inexplicable chill surged from the soles of his feet throughout his entire body.
When did it happen?
Two Ghosts had already been lurking around him?
He had to admit that his alertness had dropped earlier, because he was at the Training Base, or perhaps because he was thinking about some problems just now, so he didn’t pay much attention to his surroundings.
As a result, when the Ghost Eye became restless, he only now reacted to such an obvious change nearby. If this had been any of the previous Supernatural Events he experienced, he would probably have died long ago.
“Damn it! The Mummy Bride’s Curse is indeed still there, and it’s intensifying with the appearance of the other Ghost, and that Ghost, it wants to take the Human Skin Paper?”
The hand stretching out from the Darkness had very obvious intentions, wanting to take the Human Skin Paper from his hand.
If it weren’t for his sufficient strength, in that instant just now, the Human Skin Paper would have already been snatched away by this Weirdly appearing hand.
And now, the situation didn’t seem much better either.
This pair of stiff hands was tightly gripping the Human Skin Paper with strength that was somewhat unbelievable. At the other end of these hands was a thick Darkness, where only two arms could be vaguely seen disappearing into it, making it impossible to see clearly what the source of these hands was.
Not only that,
Yang Jian clearly sensed that the hand he was using to grip the Human Skin Paper was becoming increasingly stiff. In just one breath, he could no longer control that hand of his, and an intense pain like being squeezed began to madly stimulate his brain along with the loss of control.
His gaze shifted downward.
Seeing that his hand had actually shrunk to the size of a woman’s palm, Yang Jian’s pupils suddenly dilated, and through his peripheral vision he also noticed.
The red veil on the head of the woman beside him had, at some unknown time, become bright vermilion and vivid, as if fresh blood had just been smeared on it.
Life and death, two realms,
The bride follows forever.
Yang Jian didn’t have time to think more. Almost the instant he reacted, he opened his Ghost Eye.
Red light emanated from the Ghost Eye, enveloping his entire body and spreading toward all directions.
No matter the situation, his first thought was to use the Ghost Domain to protect himself first.
However, the situation was just as Yang Jian had anticipated—his Ghost Domain didn’t spread out but was firmly suppressed around him, barely within a distance of less than five centimeters.
That layer of red light from the Ghost Domain could only barely cover himself, and it seemed at any moment it could be eroded by the surrounding Darkness and extinguished like candlelight.
“As expected, even the three-layer Ghost Domain is suppressed. What I’m facing now isn’t just the one Ghost trying to snatch the Human Skin Paper, but also the Mummy Bride beside me.” Yang Jian felt a chill in his heart and became highly tense.
Seeing this situation, a sense of unprecedented crisis surged within him immediately.
Not to mention close contact with an unknown Ghost at such a close distance, just the Ghost Bride Curse and its appearance alone were enough to make him feel a huge threat.
And with the Ghost Domain completely suppressed, unless there was a surprise, he might very well fall here.
“I still have a Ghost Candle on me, the Ghost Hand, and the pair of hands from the Death Row Inmate left earlier. The Ghost Bride can be dealt with later; the top priority is to secure the Human Skin Paper first, using the Ghost Shadow!”
Yang Jian’s Ghost Eye ability was the Ghost Domain, and a three-layer Ghost Domain was already the limit in his current state.
If a Ghost Domain of this intensity was suppressed, increasing the number of layers wouldn’t help at all, and it was very likely to lead to Ghost Eye Revival. In comparison, to suppress other Fierce Ghosts, the Ghost Shadow was obviously more suitable.
Immediately.
A tall headless black shadow slowly stood up from under his feet—chilling, terrifying, like a corpse standing in the Darkness, giving an inexplicable sense of suffocation.
The Headless Ghost Shadow now extended its black arm, tightly grasping the stiff palm that was holding the Human Skin Paper, then slowly exerted force to pull, seemingly wanting to rip off this Weird arm alive.
Splicing corpses was the Headless Ghost Shadow’s ability. If Yang Jian weren’t worried about Fierce Ghost Revival, he could have the Headless Ghost Shadow assemble a ghost body completely made of Fierce Ghosts.
However, this ability to suppress Fierce Ghosts failed at this moment.
These hands were not removed by the Headless Ghost Shadow.
“This Ghost’s Terror Level… How is this possible?” Seeing the Ghost Shadow fail, Yang Jian’s eyes narrowed.
At this moment,
Yang Jian felt the force coming from his hand growing stronger and stronger—no, perhaps it could no longer be called mere strength.
It was a terrifying feeling he had never experienced before, as if the Ghost in his body was being forcibly extracted bit by bit.
The Headless Ghost Shadow’s body was now being pulled and gradually deforming, and the Ghost Domain emitted by the Ghost Eye was also distorting.
In an instant,
A strong sense of dizziness and powerlessness surged in his mind.
“The Headless Ghost Shadow is being extracted—is it the Ghost Bride’s Attack?”
At this moment, even with his head dizzy, Yang Jian still forced himself to remain as calm as possible and began to think frantically.
Although he couldn’t determine exactly which Ghost’s Supernatural was attacking him, he could confirm that the Headless Ghost Shadow in his body was being extracted bit by bit.
Once the Headless Ghost Shadow disappeared from his body, this already deteriorating body of his would be unable to sustain his life.
The reason he was still Alive now was because of the Ghost in his body, so if the Ghost was peeled away, most Ghost Wielders would die immediately, except for certain special cases.
“I can’t suppress this Ghost thing opposite me. If this stalemate continues, I will definitely die here.” Cold sweat broke out on Yang Jian’s face, and a crazy idea suddenly came to his mind:
“No matter which Ghost is attacking me, one thing is certain: the Ghost opposite me wants the Human Skin Paper.”
“If it’s the Ghost opposite extracting the Headless Ghost Shadow, then as long as it gets the Human Skin Paper, there’s a high Probability I’ll be fine; and if it’s the Ghost Bride pulling the Ghost Shadow out of my body, as long as I fit the Killing Pattern of the Ghost opposite and get attacked by it.”
“Two Ghosts attacking the same person—it’s very likely that the Supernatural forces will clash first, and I might have a Ray of Hope.”
But losing the Human Skin Paper would leave Yang Jian with no solution to his own Fierce Ghost Revival next.
“No, the Human Skin Paper can’t be obtained by a Ghost so easily.”
Yang Jian’s face darkened. The terror of the Human Skin Paper and its importance to him went without saying. Deciding to take another gamble, he immediately let go of one hand and quickly took out the Ghost Candle from his Pocket.
As long as the Ghost Candle could delay the Fierce Ghost Attack even by a few seconds, he could replace these hands of his, which were the Medium for the Ghost Bride Curse.
