Chapter 47: Ghost Lord
“Damn it, this thing is poisonous…”
Ling Mo actually couldn’t steal his supernatural ability, and… preliminary estimation, his strength was at least Titled Douluo level!
Among the people Ling Mo had seen, even Tang Hao might not gain the upper hand against this guy.
What the hell is this ghost place? Any puppet that comes out has such strong strength.
Luckily! This guy didn’t go for the kill, and his attacks were relatively simple, completely without consciousness.
He only knew to swing a greatsword at Ling Mo’s body. No matter how fast Ling Mo was, he could always keep up.
“Ouch, it hurts…”
Just as he hid under a stone tower, before Ling Mo could catch his breath, that corpse appeared behind him again, without any warning, and smacked him on the head.
Intense pain came, and Ling Mo was already in despair! Was this guy purely trying to mess with him?
A warrior can be killed but not humiliated. If the first attack was triggered because Ling Mo approached the Drum Tower.
Then… his subsequent series of actions were completely messing with Ling Mo!
“I’m outta here, I’m outta here…”
His head throbbed with pain, a wave of dizziness came, and Ling Mo completely broke down!
Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track was instantly unleashed, trying to escape from this corpse’s grasp, but unexpectedly… just after running a few meters, that merciless greatsword came smacking down again.
Ling Mo was instantly smacked to the ground, without even the ability to resist!
Ling Mo even started to suspect if this guy was still alive? Suddenly rising mischievousness, wanting to mess with him?
It was hard to imagine that a skeleton would have such leisure.
“This ghost thing is too terrifying! Just from the aura alone, it suppresses me so much that even breathing is difficult. If he went all out, I probably wouldn’t survive even one round…”
Unable to run away, Ling Mo gradually gave up resisting and carefully observed this puppet.
Ling Mo discovered that he seemed to be coming for his own dual pupils. Could it be that these dual pupils had some secret?
Or perhaps, these dual pupils had some karma with him?
Ling Mo really couldn’t figure it out. Logically speaking, he was a modern youth who had transmigrated from the 21st century, not from some glamorous background. How could he have any connection with these things?
“Could it be related to my previous life?”
As soon as this thought emerged, Ling Mo immediately dismissed it! This was too ethereal; Ling Mo was still far from touching such things.
“Stop, stop, stop! Don’t hit anymore…”
Smacked until his whole body ached unbearably, Ling Mo directly gave up resisting and shouted loudly.
Unexpectedly, with this shout, the other party actually stopped.
And… Ling Mo also discovered that his head, which had become a skull, seemed to reveal a trace of eerie smile.
However, his body was completely corroded, leaving only a skull, so Ling Mo wasn’t sure if he was really smiling. He always felt like this guy was snickering.
“Damn it! I really got played…”
Although Ling Mo didn’t want to believe it, he had to believe that this guy was really playing with him.
The nine-foot-tall skull wore a suit of armor. At first glance, it looked a bit like a general from ancient times! Majestic and unyielding, aura leaking out.
Judging from the aura, this guy was even more terrifying than the deterrence Tang Hao gave Ling Mo!
What exactly was in that Drum Tower he was guarding? It was actually worth such a strong expert, even after death, to continue guarding it.
Under the other’s deterrence, Ling Mo struggled to stand up from the ground and tentatively reached out his hand. Unexpectedly, his greatsword came smacking down again.
“Holy crap! Again? Screw your grandma…”
Another bout of chaos erupted. At this moment, in another place in the Ancient City, the Big Black Dog that had previously knocked Ling Mo out and a short Fatty heard the movement from this side and also revealed sinister smiles.
“Haha! That dumbass must have broken into the Drum Tower…”
The Big Black Dog mocked, laughing very happily.
And Fatty also revealed a lewd smile, glanced over there, and then said, “Let’s go quickly. Why bother with him so much! We’ve pretty much searched here; it’s time to go to the next tomb.”
Then, together with the short Fatty, they entered a coffin and left the Jing Jue Ancient City along the endless Dark Abyss.
It was as if… they had never been here. This world couldn’t accommodate them either!
They left sitting in the coffin! And that coffin was exactly the one Ling Mo had been bitterly chasing.
On the other side of the Ancient City, another bout of chaos! Ling Mo was continuously chased and beaten by the Ghost Lord. Although the other party had no killing intent, the feeling of that greatsword smacking on his face was no ordinary thrill.
“Damn it, stop hitting!”
In anger, Ling Mo cursed. Unexpectedly, what came was even more intense smacking. He followed behind Ling Mo like a little ghost, smacking slowly and steadily.
Beating Ling Mo until his head felt like it was splitting! Spirit collapsing.
“Ghost Lord, I know I was wrong! Stop hitting…”
Beaten until his spirit collapsed, Ling Mo directly surrendered! He had no ability to resist at all.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he admitted defeat, the other party really stopped.
“Huh… he really stopped?”
With the previous precedent, Ling Mo decided to stay put and first probe his bottom line.
“Ghost Lord! Do I owe you money or something? Why are you chasing me so relentlessly?”
Before he finished speaking, the Ghost Lord raised the greatsword in his hand again. Before it could smack down, Ling Mo hurriedly admitted his mistake.
“No, no, no, I was wrong! Don’t hit…”
Damn it, is communicating with ghosts this troublesome too?
Intentionally or unintentionally, Ling Mo unleashed his dual pupils again. This time… it didn’t provoke the Ghost Lord’s crazy attacks like last time.
Instead… he stood straight and pointed at the Drum Tower ahead with his greatsword, gesturing for Ling Mo to go there.
He had no words at all, completely just a corpse, but Ling Mo really couldn’t figure out why he could still move independently?
Could this be related to the secret in the Drum Tower?
“Are you telling me to enter that Drum Tower?”
Ling Mo asked tentatively. This ordeal had nearly sent him off!
He didn’t dare curse the Ghost Lord anymore. This guy was full of mischievousness; as soon as you cursed him, you were done for! A beating was sure to follow.
Poor Ling Mo, his handsome face was beaten into a pig’s head. What a great humiliation.
In these years, he’d dug up plenty of graves, but this was the first time encountering such a tricky thing. Luckily, the other party had no killing intent; otherwise, Ling Mo would have been done for long ago.
Ling Mo’s doubt received affirmation! The Ghost Lord didn’t speak but directly picked up Ling Mo and walked toward the Drum Tower.
During this, Ling Mo saw that the walls of this Drum Tower contained numerous green stone bricks, just like those few green stone bricks earlier, containing huge energy fluctuation.
“Such a familiar aura!”
Arriving at the entrance of the Drum Tower, the aura that hit him head-on made Ling Mo feel refreshed, and he suddenly felt it was somewhat familiar.
It was exactly that aura he couldn’t forget, the aura he had sensed in the Star Dou Great Forest several months ago.
Before the Drum Tower great gate, there was a barrier that Ling Mo originally couldn’t enter, but after activating his dual pupils, it actually opened.
After entering the Drum Tower, the Ghost Lord put down Ling Mo, stood beside the great gate, resumed his original appearance, and stood motionless.
In surprise, Ling Mo tested him multiple times, and he didn’t move at all! But as soon as Ling Mo wanted to leave, he would immediately block him.
“What exactly is inside here? Why does he insist on me seeing it?”
Already at the Drum Tower entrance, Ling Mo was still very hesitant. Everything felt strange!
Under the endless darkness, empty and ghostly cries echoed, very chilling.
In the darkness, a faint light seemed to emerge, hidden at the bottom of the abyss.
Looking left and right, Ling Mo knew he couldn’t run away today, so he simply charged headfirst into the Drum Tower.
In an instant… he saw countless corpses floating in the darkness.
