Chapter 725: Collecting Heads
Zhang Changchun's face was filled with excitement, and his words were extremely sincere, as if the facts were just as he said. If they could just hold on for a little while longer, the powerful ghost in front of them would really become weak.
"Haha, he's right. If you guys can just hold on for a little while longer, you'll be able to see the dawn of victory."
The ghost burst out laughing, not only not denying Zhang Changchun's words but also acknowledging that what he said was true. However, his acknowledgment did not bring a sense of security to the people present, but instead made their inner unease even stronger.
Because his performance was too abnormal, it gave people a feeling of "this place is not as it seems".
"I don't care if what you're saying is true or false. I'm just not interested in staying here anymore."
Zhang Changqing spoke in a low voice, and it was not hard to hear from his words that he was preparing to leave.
There were more than one person present who had the intention to retreat, but no one had spoken out, and no one was going to do so immediately. However, as a member of the Zhang family, Zhang Changqing was surprisingly more decisive than the outsiders, which was beyond their expectations.
The grudge between Zhang Changqing and the Zhang family was unknown to outsiders. To be strict, Zhang Changqing was no longer a member of the Zhang family. He had cut off his relationship with the Zhang family when he went to Lecheng and joined the Lecheng Fu Sect.
This time, Zhang Changchun had come to ask for his help, and initially, he had refused because he had already cut off his relationship with the Zhang family and didn't want to get involved with them again. If Zhang Changchun hadn't begged him and told him that the Zhang family was facing the danger of extinction, playing the emotional card, he wouldn't have come to Ancheng to support the Zhang family.
If the people present had known about the grudge between Zhang Changqing and the Zhang family, they wouldn't have been surprised by Zhang Changqing's decision.
As soon as these words came out of Zhang Changqing's mouth, Zhang Changchun's face changed suddenly. If Zhang Changqing really left now, it would be more than just losing a helper for him.
With Zhang Changqing taking the lead, the other people present would also choose to leave due to the immense pressure brought by the ghost, and it would be troublesome. His plan would also fall through.
He hadn't even had time to open his mouth to stop him when the ghost burst out laughing, surrounded by the attacks of the several people.
"You've come all this way, and now you're going to leave just like that? Don't you feel regretful?"
The ghost laughed loudly while resisting the joint attack of the several people, and his casual tone made the other people present feel even more uneasy.
Zhang Changqing didn't pay attention to the ghost's words, which only made him more determined to leave.
He moved his body and rushed towards Wang Yiming's location, deciding to take Wang Yiming and leave immediately.
However, just as his body was about to rush out, it suddenly froze in mid-air, and his eyes became lifeless.
Not only him, but the other people present also froze in place, even stopping their attack on the ghost.
This sudden situation occurred because the ghost had cast an Illusion Technique on the several people. The ghost's Illusion Technique was extremely powerful, so everyone present was affected.
Before opening the Soul Suppression Tower, the several people had made some preparations against the malevolent spirit's Illusion Technique. Knowing that they were dealing with a powerful malevolent spirit, how could they not make some preparations?
But they never thought that this ghost's strength was close to that of the Ghost King. With such powerful strength, the illusion realm it set up was extremely formidable. Their preparations against the Illusion Technique were of little use at this time.
The moment several people fell under the Illusion Technique, the ghost took advantage of the situation and killed one of them instantly, without even giving them a chance to scream. This person was killed in a split second.
After killing one person, the ghost didn't stop. It laughed loudly, and with a wave of its hand, the object control power simultaneously affected everyone.
At the same time, Zhang Changchun somehow managed to break free from the Illusion Technique.
It wasn't just him who broke free; Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing had already broken through the ghost's illusion realm before him, thanks to their ghost eyes.
"Wake up quickly!!"
Zhang Changchun, who had broken free from the illusion realm, resisted the ghost's object control power while shouting loudly at the others. With the power boost, his shout was like a thunderclap in their ears, shocking everyone and causing those still trapped in the illusion realm to break free immediately.
However, not everyone was safe, as the ghost's object control power was still affecting them.
There were two people who had just broken free from the illusion realm but hadn't had time to react, and their necks were suddenly twisted and broken by the ghost's control power.
Two others reacted quickly, but their powers were limited, and they couldn't break free from the ghost's object control. In the end, they could only watch in horror as their necks were slowly twisted and broken by the ghost.
In just a short while, five people had died at the hands of this ghost, leaving only Yang Haoran, Xu Meijing, Ma Yuanjin, and the Zhang Changchun brothers. Wang Yiming, who hadn't participated in the battle, was not counted.
"Hold on Everyone must hold on Just survive this moment, and this ghost will be exhausted!"
Zhang Changchun shouted anxiously, then put away his mystical artifact, the wooden sword, and focused on controlling the Soul Suppression Tower.
This Soul Suppression Tower was the most powerful mystical artifact of the Zhang family, and previously, their other artifacts couldn't inflict much damage on this ghost. So, he decided to use the Soul Suppression Tower to counterattack.
Earlier, he hadn't wanted to use the Soul Suppression Tower because it consumed too much internal power. He thought that with many helpers and their strong powers, there was no need to use it, and he could conserve some power.
However, the current situation was extremely unfavorable for them. If he didn't use the Soul Suppression Tower, he feared that they would suffer even more casualties.
"I don't believe you, you damn ghost You even betrayed your own uncle Your Zhang family is truly worthless!"
Zhang Changqing cursed loudly while trying to break free from his restraints. Several talismans appeared out of thin air and stuck to his body.
At the same time, Wang Yiming rushed towards Zhang Changqing, seeing his teacher in danger. He didn't care about Zhang Changqing's previous warning or his own safety, and he charged forward determinedly.
"Yiming, don't come over Leave now!"
Zhang Changqing saw Wang Yiming approaching quickly and his face changed drastically. He shouted loudly to warn him, but his warning had no effect. Wang Yiming not only didn't want to leave but also accelerated his approach.
"Leave now This is your teacher's order!"
As soon as the words fell, Wang Yiming had already reached his side.
"I won't abandon my teacher I'll leave with you!"
Wang Yiming took out several black talismans from his independent space and waved his hand, sticking them to Zhang Changchun's body. The talismans burned, releasing a burst of power that crazily destroyed the ghost's object control power. ThischapterwasuploadedbytheteamatM|VLEMPYR.
With Wang Yiming's help, plus Zhang Changchun's own power, he finally broke free from his restraints.
At the same time, Zhang Changchun had already controlled the Soul Suppression Tower to launch a new wave of fierce attacks against the ghost. This Soul Suppression Tower was indeed the most powerful mystical artifact of the Zhang family, and its power was extremely strong. Under his control, although it couldn't overpower the ghost, it still had a significant impact.
Yang Haoran, Xu Meijing, and the injured Ma Yuanjin also managed to break free from the ghost's object control power.
"Old thing, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I'm just not strong enough to help. I'll retreat first and hope you don't blame me!"
Ma Yuanjin shouted to Zhang Changchun, thinking the same as Zhang Changqing - just wanting to leave this place.
"Do you think you can escape? The grudge has already been formed. Once it kills me, it will definitely go after you one by one, and when that happens, it won't just be you who suffers, but also those related to you!"
Zhang Changchun shouted anxiously, and Zhang Changqing and Ma Yuanjin, who were about to leave, stopped in their tracks.
