The so-called ghost is actually a kind of channel. In a common sense, it is a bridge that can connect two worlds.
It can be said that this is how Guixiao was born in the first place.
In fact, when ghosts were first invented, they were not all evil ghosts, but both good and evil.
It’s just that I don’t know since when this kind of creature that is very similar to human body shape and personality has been called by various different names, and differences have emerged.
Ghost, which originally appeared as the antonym of human, has become a derogatory term rather than a large biological category.
To be precise, it's not even a living thing, because no one can tell what kind of existence it is so far.
If the system doesn't work, then neither does Li Yi.
What's more, he doesn't care about these things. To her, as long as the mission can go smoothly, nothing else matters.
And he knew very well why ghost had become a derogatory term nowadays, and what exactly the evil ghost in front of him wanted to do.
In their first fight, Li Yi didn't feel much pressure from the evil ghost king. The opponent's attacks were not sharp, and his defense was just okay. He didn't seem to have the strength to take action. Compared to the evil ghosts, they seem to be only on par with each other, there is not much difference.
So how did this evil ghost king survive until the end?
Li Yi was confused, but his attack was not slow at all. Instead, he accelerated the pace of the attack.
He didn't feel lucky, but felt slightly uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.
He had this feeling since he saw nine soldiers half hanging in the air. The reason why he didn't attack with all his strength at the beginning was to prevent the other party from threatening the lives of the soldiers. If he used too much force, he might use it to intimidate him. .
As for the reason, it is because Li Yi sees that the current Evil Ghost King seems to be at a very critical moment, or to put it another way, his current state is very weak, probably the weakest since he became the Lord of Ghosts. moment.
Because the key ritual had not been completed, the Evil Ghost King was in a very embarrassing state.
And his arrival coincided with this moment.
It can be said that Li Yi came at the right time, because if the Evil Ghost King was allowed to complete the ritual, it would be difficult to predict the result.
The situation on the court today is actually very delicate.
On the surface, Li Yi seemed to have the upper hand, suppressing the Evil Ghost King, that faceless figure, at every turn. He could even take the time to rescue the soldiers hanging in the air. Although these soldiers were trapped in some kind of Unknown coma, but still alive.
Even so, Li Yi was still at an absolute advantage, but for some reason, many of his killing moves failed to cause the proper damage to the figure.
It's as if all the damage has been dealt, and the opponent is directly immune to 90% and only takes 10% of the damage.
This is very frustrating.
However, Li Yi is not a person who gives up easily, and this situation inspired his fighting spirit.
And he also found that something was obviously wrong with this situation. The other party seemed to be holding back some big move.
The frequency of attacks is getting faster and faster, but without exception, almost all the damage is offset. What's more, the figure is not powerless to fight back, and occasionally it can still pose some threat to Li Yi.
Time passed by minute by second. During this period, Li Yi also rescued all nine soldiers and put them aside.
It is said that at this time, you only need to find the right time to take away the rescued soldiers to complete the rescue mission.
But instead of taking the opportunity to escape, Li Yi continued to increase the pace of his attack, with a faint look of anxiety on his face.
He seemed to feel something.
The figure also noticed it at this time.
He has always been in a passive state of being beaten, but he doesn't look embarrassed at all. On the contrary, he looks calm and calm. This is in huge contrast with his current situation. It's like he is not the disadvantaged party, but the disadvantaged one. It's like a winning party with a guaranteed victory.
At this time, the evil ghost king spoke.
Unlike the disadvantage he was in, his tone seemed extremely calm, as if he was not the one being passively beaten.
"Now that you've got it, why don't you leave?"
Li Yi was shocked when he heard this.
As soon as this sentence came out, there was a high probability that his original guess was correct.
"You're not dead yet, how about you die and let me see?"
The Evil Ghost King sneered when he heard this.
This time, Li Yi clearly saw that the originally faceless figure actually had a few more outlines of facial features.
At the same time, one of the soldiers he rescued suddenly became weak, and finally died in front of Li Yi!
Blanch!
Damn it, indeed!
Li Yi cursed in his heart, how could he not see that as long as he was still among the ghosts, there was no way he could save people.
The reason why these soldiers fell into coma was not because the Evil Ghost King did something to them.
In fact, the reason why these soldiers are still alive is just because they still need living people to maintain the existence of ghosts.
But as the evil ghosts are killed one by one, the energy required to maintain the ghosts also decreases. This is also the fundamental reason why the ghosts continue to shrink.
But at the same time, the evil ghost's ability to control ghosts is gradually strengthening.
Because the strength of the remaining evil ghosts is undoubtedly the strongest, especially the evil ghost king in front of him, and at this time, Gui Xie only needs to protect one of his evil ghosts, and the remaining ghost power can be used to do Some other things.
For example, becoming human.
Yes, this is exactly what the Evil Ghost King was planning from the beginning to the end.
The reason why his body was very weak at this time was precisely because he focused most of his energy on the corpse in the field.
And what he has to do is take this human body as his own.
In this process, he no longer needs the protection of ghosts, because human beings can live in this world as they like without the need of so-called ghosts as a barrier.
At that time, with the ability of evil ghosts and the body of a human, the evil ghost king can almost be said to be invincible. Next, he only needs to continue to absorb human energy and spirit to continue to become stronger.
Because evil spirits originally feed on humans.
For the Evil Ghost King, he can do this by simply removing the original "channel" and directly placing himself in a human body, but this will not make his own abilities and characteristics disappear.
Because ghosts are inherently invisible, even if they have an extra body, they are actually equivalent to a barrier walking in the human world. The only difference from ghosts is that this barrier is personal and can be left at any time. It won't be subject to many restrictions like the current ghosts.
It's like a person traveling. If it's not necessary, he definitely doesn't want to carry a huge box, but prefers to travel light.
This plan sounds simple, but it is just a matter of changing the vest, but it is not easy to implement.
The first is that you need enough energy.
The maintenance of ghosts requires the consumption of a large amount of human essence, which can only be replenished by living people. If not, it can only be maintained by consuming the breath of the evil ghost itself.
Before the arrival of Chen Changqing's team, there were actually very few people here. If they had arrived later, I am afraid that the ghosts would have spent a lot of effort to move the ghosts. By then, the results might have been very different.
But there is no such thing as if. The fact is that when Chen Changqing's team started setting up camp and started telling ghost stories, everything unfolded naturally.
The soldiers disappeared one after another. In fact, the evil spirits in the ghosts used the ghosts as a cover to capture people into the ghosts at once.
This process is almost imperceptible, and only those who are born with super-perception, or those who have practiced immortality like Li Yi, can detect it.
Li Yi originally had the ability to stop all this, but he came too late after all.
Even though he had it all figured out now, in the end he was left with only one choice.
Then kill the evil ghost king in front of you. This time the evil ghost's invasion of the human world will naturally disappear. This is exactly what Li Yi is doing.
Of course, there is another option.
Thinking of this, Li Yi turned his attention to the nameless corpse that was ignored, which was the one that the Evil Ghost King planned to use as his body.
If I can't kill you, why can't I destroy your body?
