Chapter 663: Life Soul Bead

Swoosh!

The Three Ghost Servants’ bodies were engulfed by green flames. They formed a sharp Triangular Offensive Formation Spell and swiftly pounced at the Black-Horned Demon, leaving behind a series of afterimages. An ear-piercing tearing noice echoed out, and as they closed in on their target, they shot many green arrows formed from flames. The arrows emitted a sizzling noise and contained a powerful soul attack.

Green Flame Arrows!

The Lich King’s Three Great Ghost Servants attacked jointly to kill the Black-Horned Demon, who blocked their path.

“Humph, how daring. I’m Natalie, and even your home’s old Lich King doesn’t dare to act so impudently in front of me.”

The Black-Horned Demon Natalie cast a glance at the Three Ghost Servants, who uttered conceited nonsense, before coldly snorting. A mysterious and abstruse symbol appeared on her scarlet battle armor, and it deflected the Ghost Servants’ Green Flame Arrows.

Soon after, her body moved, and she dodged Steve’s Giant Spirit Divine Palm before extending her hand and taking out a black whip.

Sizzle!

The black whip created a ghastly spatial fissure, and it instantly reached the Ghost Servant at the front. They only heard the whip’s noise and couldn’t see it. They heard an ear-piercing tearing noise and saw a terrifying spatial fissure, but they didn’t catch a glimpse of the whip.

“Shadowless Whip. It’s awful. Retreat quickly,” the Ghost Servant at the front involuntarily cried out. He detected intense danger and moved back quickly.

It was a pity that it was already too late. As a sizzling noise echoed out, the Black-Horned Demon strongly lashed the Ghost Servant’s chest and broke several of his ribs. The Ghost Servant felt intense pain and suffered the brunt of a terrifying soul attack. His head sustained intense pain, and his soul was almost extinguished by the whip.

“If you don’t want to die, then leave the Graveyard of Gods and Devils. You should go back home and inform your old Lich King that I will later travel to the Chaos Plane and look for him,” she said.

After the Black-Horned Demon inflicted heavy injuries upon the Ghost Servant at the front, she didn’t chase after him. Instead, she turned around to dodge Steve’s heavy blade. As a sizzling noise echoed out, she waved her whip again, and it instantly reached Hastings Divine Branch’s Steve. He was terrified, and his body broke into a cold sweat. He got out of the way quickly!

The Black-Horned Demon had just awakened, and her power still hadn’t completely recovered, but her current power was still very terrifying, and the black whip terrified the crowd. The Three Ghost Servants were in danger, and their souls were almost extinguished several times by the whip. Even Steven was almost killed by the whip!

The Shadowless Whip was swifter than lightning, and the people couldn’t effectively defend against her.

After Yang Ling killed a group of flying demons that rushed at him recklessly, he was about to absorb their souls, but a strange sight appeared. “Huh? Soul Devouring?” After the numerous flying demons and wanderers died, their souls could be seen turning into black smoke that converged toward the Soul Bead. They were quickly devoured by it as if it were a black hole, and its absorption speed was higher than the Crystalline Skeleton Head by a thousandfold.

“Could it be that this is an apex Wizard Artifact like the Battle Soul Blade, which got lost outside?” After the Life Soul Bead absorbed the Soul Energy, it emitted amiable Energy Ripples. When Yang Ling saw this, he pondered over it and got more excited. He took a deep breath before forcing himself to calm down, and then went into a remote corner with the Corpse Wizard King, Ophelia, and others. They hid in the darkness and calmly observed the hall’s surroundings and the intense battle.

Yang Ling still pondered how he could get his hands on the Life Soul Bead. The altar’s vicinity wasn’t protected by any demons, but when Yang Ling observed the strange green flame on the altar, he realized that it wasn’t as simple as it seemed. He didn’t dare to take rash actions without any concrete ideas. If he wasn’t careful, he might end up dead.

A large group of flying demons ceaselessly rushed out of the hall’s depths, and they obstructed the great factions’ experts and the numerous wanderers. As for the Black-Horned Demon, she pestered the Three Ghost Servants, Steve, Borgans, and other experts. But, as more wanderers rushed inside, the situation turned more disadvantageous to the Black-Horned Demon.

However, even though it seemed that the Black-Horned Demon fought intensely against the numerous experts, none of them risked his life. They were just probing each other’s powers. It was still unknown who would emerge victorious in the end.

All factions’ members had their own sinister designs. They all wanted to take the Life Soul Bead on the altar and the Moon Soul Stones, but they weren’t fools. They knew that the first person to poke his head out and go there would face the Black-Horned Demon’s crazy attacks. Even if he got the altar and stones by chance, the other factions wouldn’t observe this without lifting a finger against him.

None of the great factions’ members wanted to sacrifice their lives to take the Black-Horned Demon’s life, and the experienced Black-Horned Demon had keenly noticed this. She wasn’t absolutely sure, which was why she didn’t want to corner the crowd and turn them into mortal enemies. She merely fought with them and stalled for time, hoping that she would recover more power or reinforcement would arrive in time.

Yang Ling looked at the strange green flame on the altar before looking at the great factions’ experts, who harbored ulterior designs. “They are all old foxes.” But he became more prudent and hid in a corner as he observed the changes calmly, waiting for a good opportunity.

The powerful Borgans’s expression was serene, and he ordered Battier to carry out strong attacks, calmly observing the Black-Horned Demon’s power and the surrounding terrain. As for the Three Ghost Servants, they roared ceaselessly, but they still didn’t recklessly attack. As for the old man in luxurious clothes from Longbarton Divine Branch, he went into a corner and held the God-Slaughtering Arrows.

“Fine, if we delay any longer, we probably won’t get anything. It’s time to finish this. Our Algernon Divine Branch wants just the Life Soul Bead. You can divide the Moon Soul Stones between your three factions. Let’s fight together and kill the Black-Horned Demon.”

Borgans was well aware that if the Abyssal Demon Lord rushed there, he wouldn’t be a match for him, even though he had already practiced to the peak of the Eighth Level Divine Duty Stage. If that happened, it would be an issue for him to leave unscathed, let alone seize the Life Soul Bead.

As more wanderers rushed over and killed the numerous flying demons, the situation turned more disadvantageous to the Black-Horned Demon. However, Borgans still didn’t dare to stall for time. He was afraid that the Black-Horned Demon would recover more power, and he was also afraid that the reinforcement army would quickly rush over.

Ordinary Abyssal Demons weren’t able to withstand the soul attacks contained in the Moon Lake’s water and mist, and even if they had a high number of people, they could only fret in the surroundings. High-Level Demons in magic cloaks were very powerful, but who knew whether they would hurriedly rush over? Even if the demons rushed inside by force, they could still form a team of experts that would obstruct them. Their biggest worry was the Abyssal Demon Lord, who was practicing in seclusion, according to the rumors.

The old man in luxurious clothes agreed ahead of the others. “Fine, our Longbarton Divine Branch doesn’t have any objections.” He pointed a God-Slaughtering Arrow, which had sharp offensive power, at the pale-faced Black-Horned Demon. Longbarton Divine Branch specialized in craftsmanship, and the Moon Soul Stones’ strategic significance wasn’t any less than the Life Soul Bead’s. If they couldn’t get the legendary Life Soul Bead, it would still be pretty good to get a large number of Moon Soul Stones.

The white-robed middle-aged man Steve muttered to himself for a moment before he shook his head. He didn’t want to accept this, but he was forced to accept Borgans’s suggestion. “Fine. Our Hastings Divine Branch also doesn’t have any objections.”

The Life Soul Bead was very precious, but Algernon Divine Branch had an expert at Borgans’ level, and it would be impossible for him to fight against them. Additionally, if they delayed and the Black-Horned Demon recovered her power suddenly or a large number of High-Level Abyssal Demons rushed there, none of them would benefit, and at that time, their group might not get anything.

“Humph!”

The Ghost Servants’ leader snorted coldly and didn’t express his opinion about Borgans’ suggestion. He didn’t oppose it, but it still seemed like he wasn’t willing to accept it. However, he was still forced to accept reality. If he couldn’t get the Life Soul Bead, it would still be pretty good to get a large number of Moon Soul Stones.

Borgans spoke and attacked decisively. “Hand over the Life Soul Bead. You aren’t a match for us now.” His sharp sword turned into a cold beam that targeted the Black-Horned Demon’s heart. He didn’t emit Sword Energy or an ear-piercing tearing noise. He also didn’t create any spatial fissures. It seemed like an ordinary sword strike, but the Black-Horned Demon still found it very dangerous. This wasn’t any different than concentrating the power of one’s whole body into the blade end, and it seemed similar to a volcano that would shortly erupt.

“Algernon Divine Branch’s Heavy Earth Sword?” she asked.

Borgans controlled a light object as if it were heavy. The sword seemed quite slow, but it was very swift. The Black-Horned Demon’s pupils contracted, and she thrashed her whip far away. If she were at her peak state, she wouldn’t have taken Borgans’ sword strike seriously, but at this moment, she didn’t have even a third of her power left, and she didn’t dare to take carelessly the strong attacks of Four Great Divine Branches’ experts.

Rumble!

When the Shadowless Whip coiled around Borgans’s sword, an intense energy collision occurred, and it had great momentum, as well as great power. The Three Ghost Servants, Steve, and others couldn’t get out of the way in time, and they were sent flying away by airwaves. A large hole had even appeared in the hard roof, and the crashing sound of bricks and logs echoed out ceaselessly. Just a single sword strike demonstrated Borgans’s shocking power!

Even though it seemed that both sides were evenly matched, the Black-Horned Demon’s heart sank further. She didn’t expect that Algernon Divine Branch would dispatch an expert at the level of Borgans. He was an apex Eighth Level Divine Duty Expert, and he was close to becoming a Divine Lord. If she were at her peak state, it wouldn’t be difficult for her to deal with several experts like him, but as of this moment, her situation was far from good.
