Chapter 620 - Went In Both Directions And Attacked Separately
Vincent turned around and left without saying anything. It could be said that his actions were out of place given the current situation.
Not only did the ghost that was sitting upright on the mountainside fall into a daze, but even Alexia, who was holding Vincent"s hand, had a blank look on her face at that moment.
"What"s the situation? Aren"t we looking for Justin?" asked Alexia softly as she followed Vincent down the mountain.
Vincent was both frightened and anxious at the same time. He replied, "What"s there to look for? That guy is an expert on the same level as Gajero. If we don"t leave, both of us will die!"
Alexia immediately understood and did not dare to say anything more. She continued to lower her head and follow Vincent away.
However, before they could walk further, a sinister voice suddenly came from in front of them.
"How dare you disturb my training so rashly? Do you think you can still leave?"
Vincent and Alexia raised their heads and saw that the ghost earlier had appeared in front of them at some point in time. The flames in his eye sockets were jumping continuously. He looked like he was staring at them.
Vincent confirmed his guess once again. The power of the ghost in front of him was indeed comparable to that of Gajero. This meant that his position in the Ghost Race was not low. It was very likely that he was the head of the Ghost Race!
Although Vincent was only at level 50, he was very powerful. He also had the high-level Protoss arm and the elf divine personality. In addition, he also had a strong fighting spirit. Therefore, he was not intimidated by anyone"s aura.
Even the Dragon Race"s draconic might had very little effect on Vincent.
So far, there were only three opponents that made Vincent feel like he was inferior. The first was the Protoss who had made a deal with Vincent.
The second was the level 89 demon lord, Gajero.
The third was the ghost in front of him!
His opponent"s strength and ident.i.ty were obvious. However, no matter how much pressure he felt, Vincent remained calm as he still had a firm belief.
Vincent had two goals in mind at that moment. One was to ensure that he and Alexia could survive, and the second was to find Justin"s whereabouts!
Vincent squeezed out a smile and said to the ghost, "The two of us are just out for fun and we came here by accident. Since we had accidentally disturbed you, we have to make up for this mistake!"
When the ghost heard this, he smiled with his teeth, as if he was sneering, and questioned Vincent, "For fun? My ghost subordinates are everywhere on this sinkhole sea. The two of you managed to appear in front of me from all the way. You surely don"t look like an ordinary couple! If you still don"t reveal your ident.i.ty and intentions to me, then you can only go to h.e.l.l!"
The Ghost Race"s tone became increasingly fierce. Vincent and Alexia felt as if their hearts had been struck by lightning. They instantly froze on the spot. Countless nightmares flashed before their eyes, causing their already nervous state of mind to instantly collapse.
In the Black Hole World, all cultivators would aim to increase their strength and ensure that their state of mind is always tenacious so that they would not make mistakes or lose focus during battles.
Vincent and Alexia were both level 50 cultivators, and they could be considered upper-middle-level powerhouses. Thus, their minds were extremely tenacious. Even when they encounter an opponent that was stronger than them, they would only feel nervous. They would never be timid and lose their ability to fight.
However, at that moment, Vincent and Alexia"s minds were very fragile. It was as if they could be shattered in an instant.
Vincent could feel that his consciousness was still clear. However, he had started to become fearful. It looked as if he had completely given up on surviving. He stood on the spot, quietly waiting for the ghost in front of him to tell him what to do.
Alexia was in the same state as Vincent. She felt like she had given up on resisting and could only watch as they fall into a hopeless situation. She was unable to save herself.
Vincent suddenly recalled that he had once read in the Black Hole myriad races atlas that the Ghost Race had an ability called the heart attack. Its power was so powerful that it was an existence that even Gajero was afraid of. Vincent knew that the ghost had unleashed this attack on him and Alexia.
The ghost saw that Vincent and Alexia had lost the ability to move. He was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, he placed his hands behind his back and asked calmly, "Now, tell me your true purpose of coming here!"
Vincent and Alexia seemed to have been possessed. They wanted to tell him that the purpose of their trip was to explore the Immortal ruins.
In a moment of desperation, Vincent realized that he had to think of a way to save himself. Otherwise, once his intentions were exposed, he would fall under the Ghost Race"s control. At that time, it would be as difficult as climbing to the heavens to escape!
After realizing the danger of the situation, Vincent tried using all the abilities he had, but the results were futile. His soul seemed to have completely separated from his body. He was not able to use any of his abilities.
However, Vincent did not give up. Instead, he began attempting to communicate with all the equipment he had.
As long as he could find anything to circ.u.mvent the ghost"s attack, he could still turn the situation around!
However, what disappointed Vincent was that he had lost contact with both his Return Journey of the Dead and the Evil Fate in his hands.
Vincent and Alexia were about to answer the ghost"s question involuntarily.
"We..."
Just at the critical moment, a dragon"s roar suddenly came from Vincent"s left hand. The dragon might immediately cut off all sounds and attacked the heart of the ghost.
However, the ghost whose strength was unfathomable was not affected at all. Instead, he turned his attention to the dragon egg in Vincent"s hand.
"Haha, I didn"t expect you to have a dragon egg that has yet to hatch! This is a good treasure. It just so happens that I still lack a pet to relieve my boredom. This unborn dragon is exactly what I want!" said the ghost with a smug look.
Kelly, who had gained consciousness inside the dragon egg, immediately screamed after hearing what the ghost had said, "Vincent, save me! I don"t want to be kidnapped by him!"
Vincent was burning with anxiety. Protecting Kelly"s safety was the promise he made to Randall. He could not confirm Justin"s life and death. If he lost Kelly too, he would lose most of his important allies!
Just as the ghost was about to grab the dragon egg. Vincent looked at his left hand. His heart was immediately filled with ecstasy.
Not only did Vincent see Kelly, but he also remembered that he had a super powerful ability that did not belong to him or his equipment.
Just as the ghost was about to grab the dragon egg, Vincent"s left arm suddenly lit up with a dazzling golden light. The shadow of a Protoss along with a pair of golden wings descended from the sky, enveloping Vincent"s body. He was equipped with full-body golden armor and had four arms.
At the same time, an extremely powerful aura spread out like golden waves with Vincent as the center.
The ghost standing in front of Vincent was the first to bear the brunt of the attack. His eyes were wide open and filled with fear. He quickly took a few steps back.
"You... you made a deal with the Protoss!"
The ghost looked at Vincent in disbelief and let out a mournful sigh.
At the same time, the ghosts that were wandering at the nearby sea sensed Vincent and immediately rushed toward the rock mountain like a swarm of bees.
With the help of the Protoss"s high position and powerful aura, Vincent instantly regained control of his own body.
After discovering that he could regain control of his own body, Vincent immediately transferred the dragon egg from his left hand to his right hand. He then used his left arm that was emitting a golden light to hold Alexia. He wanted her to help her regain her movements.
Before Alexia could react, Vincent suddenly dragged her body and threw her into the air behind him.
As long as Alexia continued to move in parabola, she would land on the other side of the rock mountain. Even if there might be ghosts there, Vincent believed that as long as he was on the top of the rock mountain, the surrounding ghosts would pay attention to him only.
This was also the only thing Vincent could do to protect Alexia!
"Run!" shouted Vincent at Alexia who was flying in the air.
He immediately turned around and continued to confront the powerful ghost.
Although Vincent knew that his best chance of escaping would be the s.p.a.ce door, he knew that he would not have a chance to open one at all.
This was because the opening and closing of the s.p.a.ce door required a certain amount of time. During this time, a true expert could follow Vincent into the s.p.a.ce tunnel, just like when he faced off against Gajero. It was almost the same situation.
Moreover, Vincent believed that as long as Gajero could do it, the ghost in front of him would be able to do it as well.
Hence, Vincent gave up on the idea of trying to use the s.p.a.ce tunnel to escape. All he could do at that moment was to help Alexia escape, while he used all means at his disposal and try his best to deal with the ghost in front of him.
Vincent raised his left hand toward the ghost in front of him and shouted in a deep voice, "G.o.d"s Punishment!"
The shadow that enveloped Vincent raised his arm at the same time. An even more intense and terrifying aura spread out in an instant.
All the ghosts that were rus.h.i.+ng over instantly stopped after sensing the terrifying aura. They prostrated themselves on the surface of the sea. They looked as if they were kowtowing to a G.o.d that was above them with the highest etiquette.
The ghost that was standing in front of Vincent was also kneeling in front of Vincent with a face full of unwillingness. He looked like a slave waiting for orders.
"Where"s Justin?" asked Vincent excitedly.
The reason why he did not choose to escape at the first moment was that he had not found Justin"s whereabouts.
Even if the current situation was dangerous and he could not waste a single second, Vincent still had to prioritize finding Justin!
Vincent and Justin were initially rivals and later partners. However, as they spent more and more time together and experienced more risks together, the two of them soon developed an old friends.h.i.+p.
Vincent, who valued friends.h.i.+p the most, might as well die here if he escaped without Justin.
The ghost on the mountaintop was more powerful than Vincent had imagined. Although he was forced to kneel under the power of G.o.d"s Punishment, he did not lose his consciousness and reason. After hearing Vincent"s question, the ghost replied in a daze, "Justin, who is that?"
Vincent took a deep breath and asked again, "After you arrived here, did you see the soul of a vampire?"
The ghost immediately sneered, "Soul? Our ghost has always eaten souls. Perhaps it was eaten by the children under my command! In any case, I did not see it."
Vincent started to panic because he could hear the calmness and disdain in the ghost"s tone.
This meant that Justin had most likely met a tragic end!
"Then you and the entire Ghost Race will be buried with him today!" roared Vincent.
He held the dragon egg in his left hand again and proceeded to pull out the Return Journey of the Dead from his waist. He chopped at the ghost"s head.
Suddenly, an ear-piercing sound was heard. It sounded like all the bones in the ghost"s body were rubbing against each other. The ghost burst out with strength in an instant.
Despite the supreme pressure he felt from Vincent"s G.o.d"s Punishment, he stood up forcefully and blocked Vincent"s attack.
Vincent was not surprised by this. From the moment the other party was able to speak calmly despite being under his influence, he knew that his control over him was limited. It was only a matter of time before he broke free.
Vincent could only use this period whilst his G.o.d"s Punishment was still ongoing. He could either give it his all or choose to escape instead. In short, this was his last chance!
"I don"t care if you are a ghost or a demon. I will kill you today!" roared Vincent.
He raised his blade to stab forward. He proceeded to unleash the first four moves of the eight forms of Heaven"s Will.
The terrifying blade aura mixed with Vincent"s endless battle intent instantly formed thousands of invisible blades. They covered the sky and earth. Vincent proceeded to slash them at the ghosts.
At that moment, the effect of G.o.d"s Punishment was still ongoing. Although the ghosts have begun to stand up, they were still in a negative state so they could only move slowly backward.
Countless blades appeared and submerged them in the blink of an eye!
Vincent took this opportunity to continue using the eight forms of Heaven"s Will to create countless blades. He continued to attack the ghost in front of him.
Just as Vincent"s attack became more and more frantic, the light on his left arm began to gradually dim, indicating that his G.o.d"s Punishment attack was about to run out. His Hand of G.o.d was about to enter a state of cooldown for a long time.
However, Vincent did not care. If he could not find Justin alive, he would still avenge Justin, even if the other party was as powerful as Gajero. He had to make the other party pay the price.
After the effect of G.o.d"s Punishment disappeared, Vincent"s attack soon stopped. The smooth surface of the rock had been smashed creating a deep pit.
However, the ghost was still standing in the pit intact. Even the robe on his body was still in one piece and was not damaged at all.
"Is this the only ability you have gained from the Protoss during the trade? Then you have disappointed me!"
The ghost raised his head and looked at Vincent, his tone full of disdain.
At the same time, shouts came from all directions at the foot of the mountain.
"There"s an a.s.sa.s.sin. Quickly go and protect the Ghost King!"
After Vincent heard the shouts from all directions, he was shocked, but it was still within his expectation.
Since the ghost in front of him could withstand his G.o.d"s Punishment, then his strength was truly unique. Who else could it be if it was not the king of the ghosts?
Vincent looked at the Ghost King below and said in a calm tone, "I didn"t expect to meet the Ghost King here today. The heavens have treated me well!"
Since he had decided to give it his all, he would not change his battle intent just because of who his opponent was. No matter how strong his opponent was, he could not be afraid!
The Ghost King was not in a hurry to attack Vincent. Instead, he sneered and said, "I am the leader of the Ghost Race, the ruler of 3,000 worlds, Abraham! Tell me your name, there are no nameless souls under my command!"
Vincent smiled slightly. He looked like he was ready to face death. He said in a deep voice, "My name is Vincent, human! Who will die today? It is not certain yet!"
However, just as Vincent finished speaking, the Ghost King, Abraham"s figure instantly disappeared from where he was. He appeared in front of Vincent almost at the same time. His five fingers were like white jade as he grabbed Vincent"s neck ruthlessly.
A bone-chilling chill instantly penetrated through Vincent"s skin and into his meridians, slowly freezing his entire body.
Abraham slowly leaned over, his burning eyes getting closer and closer to Vincent. His tone was full of provocation as he said, "Charlotte has told me all your information. I"ve been waiting for you for a long time! Since Charlotte didn"t appear with you, I guess she must have been discovered by you. Can you tell me what you did to her?"
Vincent looked at the cunning and powerful ghost in front of him and said without any fear, "She"s dead!"
The fire in Abraham"s eyes suddenly intensified. He said with a gloomy tone, "Kill her? Do you know how much time I need to waste to raise such a dog who will work hard for me? How dare you kill her!"
As Abraham"s fingers gradually tightened, Vincent suddenly felt death.
However, he was not nervous or afraid because he was waiting for a chance to counterattack.
"Vincent!"
Suddenly, a nervous and anxious shout came from behind Vincent. Alexia, who had just been thrown down from the top of the mountain by Vincent, flew back up to the mountain again. Alexia, who was holding her sword, looked like a black lotus in full bloom. She stabbed her sword straight at Abraham.
"Huh?"
Abraham was suddenly distracted. He raised his head to look at Alexia who had suddenly appeared.
Vincent found the opportunity he had been waiting for and shouted, "Burn!"
As Vincent gave the order, the two b.a.l.l.s of flames in Abraham"s eye sockets began to explode fiercely. The flames enveloped his head and continued to burn fiercely!
