Xiao Ming ran to Zhao Yao and was trembling from head to toe. He asked Zhao Yao with chattering teeth, "Master Zhao, I don"t think this is the appropriate time to say such words." Even though Xiao Ming could not understand what Zhao Yao said, but he understood the gravity of the situation which they were in.
The specter"s body released black gas into his surroundings like those evil boss monsters in television series. Xiao Ming was fl.u.s.tered and asked, "What are we supposed to do? This person is way too strong."
Xiao Ming was an unusually timid person; any rustling in the middle of the night could make him p.i.s.s his pants. When he saw the entire ceiling enveloped by ghosts and spirits, he felt that his heart could stop beating at any moment.
Specter heard the conversation between them. After settling the gang of strange people, he turned his attention towards Zhao Yao and snickered, "How are you, do you regret coming to this manor?"
Zhao Yao replied, "So your power is to turn yourself into a spirit and possess another person"s body?"
Specter continued sn.i.g.g.e.ring and thought that there was nothing Zhao Yao could do even if he understood the origins of his power. He waved his hand which created an invisible force that went straight for Zhao Yao.
However, instead of writhing in agony after getting attacked by Specter, Zhao Yao vanished along with everyone else in the hall.
Specter squinted his eyes and remarked, "I guess this guy has some superpower as well. D*mn it …"
Zhao Yao heaved a sigh of relief as he disappeared from Specter"s vision. He had tested Elizabeth"s power and concluded that he could not take control over his body when Specter was in his spirit form. However, the illusions still worked as per usual. He turned around to the rest of the people in the hall and shouted, "He cannot see you guys so faster get the h.e.l.l out of this place."
Xiao Ming remained dumbfounded. The rest of the people did not believe Zhao Yao"s words. Some were screaming while others were bawling in fear, some even went on their knees and begged for mercy from Specter.
Zhao Yao groaned and instructed Xiao Ming, "Quickly get them out of this place!" Zhao Yao did not know what other powers Specter had up his sleeve. After turning into his spirit form, he had developed skills which were synonymous with spirits. He might even be able to see through this illusion.
Elizabeth"s illusion still could not affect the sense of touch and sense of taste which made it an imperfect illusion.
Xiao Ming looked at Zhao Yao with conviction and decided to take a leap of faith. He gritted his teeth and exclaimed, "He cannot see us, follow me now!"
The rest of the people stared at Xiao Ming as if he was an idiot. However, the spirits conjured by Specter did not seem to notice Xiao Ming"s attempt at escaping, and he soon reached the exit.
The people who saw this immediately came to their feet and started escaping. Priest Yang was obviously the one running at the front.
The rest of the monks and priests who were unconscious regained their consciousness and joined the others in escaping.
Priest Yang shouted, "F*ck, so they were just playing dead?"
Master Mao pointed at Specter and replied, "You don"t say? How can we fight against this monster, this is better left for the Avengers."
Zhao Yao heaved a sigh of relief as he saw the ma.s.ses of people successfully making their escape. He would have fewer worries without them here.
During their escape, Specter used psychokinesis which disturbed the air particles to locate Zhao Yao"s position in the hall.
"Illusion?" Specter started to understand Zhao Yao"s power, "Even my sense of direction and s.p.a.ce are distorted, but …" Suddenly, he descended from mid-air to the floor and was standing like how an ordinary human would.
"My sense of touch remains undistorted."
When his feet were about to make contact with the floor, Zhao Yao had frozen time and sent a fury of kicks and punches against Specter.
Zhao Yao felt the impact of his punches and kicked, Zhao Yao thought, "Even though he seemed like an intangible spirit, he still had to turn himself tangible if he wanted to make contact with matter.
Elizabeth"s illusion could not distort his sense of touch and taste. If he wanted to expose this loophole, he must turn his body tangible."
When time resumed, the combined effects of Zhao Yao"s punches and kicks exploded in an instant. An explosion erupted in everyone"s ears. When they turned their heads around, they saw Specter"s body exploding into pieces and turned into ashes.
However, before they could get excited over it, Specter"s exploded body turned into a gust of wind and spread into every corner of the hall. In the blink of an eye, Specter"s body had occupied the entire room.
At the most critical moment, Elizabeth"s illusion was disrupted as Zhao Yao tried to freeze time again, exposing the ma.s.ses to Specter.
However, Zhao Yao quickly reverted to Elizabeth"s power and cast an illusion on Specter. However, Specter had already seen the direction in which the people were heading towards.
Specter shouted, "You can"t save them! You cannot save anyone!"
The rows of seats in the hall were crushed and torn into pieces. Even the walls, chandeliers and the light bulbs all cracked and exploded.
Specter had used his attack indiscriminately in the direction which the people were running in.
The gust of wind was extremely fast and had almost caught up with them.
Zhao Yao looked at this magnificent sight and thought, "After turning into his spirit form, he was simultaneously capable of psychokinesis, body mutation, conjuring of spirits and even the ability to pa.s.s through matter by turning his body intangible.
Currently, he was exactly like how legends had described spirits to be. Other than me, I"ve not known of a single person who was capable of having more than one power. The worst thing is he has four powers …"
Specter"s ability to change into different forms was the most annoying power which Zhao Yao had faced up to now. Specter did not pose much of a threat to Zhao Yao, but it was very troublesome to deal with him due to the possible damage he could inflict on the rest.
The people escaping turned their heads to see the gust of wind hot on their heels and they erupted in screams and howls.
Under such dire circ.u.mstances, Zhao Yao displayed a level of composure that one could not imagine. This was due to his physical condition and the enormous power he had.
"I can easily escape by using time freeze, but if I wanted to defeat him, normal physical attacks seemed pretty ineffective," Zhao Yao pondered. Even though all his powers were extremely potent, they were not effective as forms of attack against Specter. He did not know how to take Specter down quickly.
"However, I could still give it a go with time distortion. Even if I were inflicted with heavy injuries, I could switch to Matcha"s time distortion and heal instantly."
A risky idea flashed past his head when he saw the spirits were just inches away from the people escaping.
At the next moment, Zhao Yao had reappeared from his illusion and was in Specter"s field of vision. Specter roared with fury as he flew towards Zhao Yao"s position.
"Finally found you!" Specter was das.h.i.+ng towards Zhao Yao as a stream of black smoke.
Specter broke into howls and laughter as he narrowed the distance between Zhao Yao and himself. Specter was so happy to see the look of distress on Zhao Yao"s face.
"Got you!"
The black smoke turned into a palm and slashed across Zhao Yao"s body. At the next second, it seemed like Specter had teleported behind Zhao Yao and his fist penetrated Zhao Yao"s body.
However, right before he made contact with Zhao Yao"s chest, Specter felt like he had landed himself in a cave. Everything in front of his eyes turned dark, and he had reached another world.
Specter was confounded by the world which he had been transported to. He could not even react to his situation. His mouth was wide open in shock when he saw a Panamera cruising towards him.
