Chapter 221: Soul Hook Horse Face
However, they were a beat too late. One of the ghost emissaries attempted to obstruct the black light with his water-fire staff, only to have it snapped in half. The black light pierced straight through his chest. Another person was hit directly in their head by the black light, and like the previous person, they transformed into a white paper silhouette and spontaneously combusted.
In just a few moments, out of four ghost emissaries, two were dead and one was injured. The remaining one had no control over the water ghost, who broke the chain restraint and escaped.
Just when Shen Luo thought the water ghost was rescued, the water beast suddenly rushed forward, violently opening its mouth to inhale.
From its pitch-black maw, an invisible force of attraction was ignited, sucking in the water ghost and swallowing it in one gulp. Just like consuming some tonic, a layer of black light emanated from its body.
After swallowing the water ghost, it wasn’t sated. Opening its mouth to inhale once again, it dragged the injured ghost emissary in and gulped them down, making the black light on its body even brighter and radiating a strong wave of evil omens.
“Bold ghost, daring to devour ghost emissaries. You’re seeking death.” The white-faced scholar was infuriated, shouting explosively.
... Before his words even fell, his body had already flown over, with his feet stomping down heavily like a mountain landslide, landing on the back of the river guardian beast.
A “boom” resounded!
The river guardian beast was struck by a huge force, and its limbs instantly buckled, falling flat on the ground.
