Chapter 648: The Battle on the Bridge of Helplessness

    Chapter 648: The Battle on the Bridge of Helplessness


    Haha, all right.Illlet you run free for now!


    One-Armed Dragon seemed to read mythoughts. He snorted disdainfully.


    I felt my face heating up. I ranfaster. To seize more time, I crossed a fewillusionsin a row. In the end, I stoppedina strange world.


    The world in front of me was different from the River of Unmindfulness and the batforest.At thismoment, a hazy rainfellfrom the gray sky.


    People rumored that the rain in Hell was as red as blood, but it didnt seem to be the case. The tinyraindropsthat fellon mewere as soft ascotton, justlike the wind diving into the night and moistening things quietly.


    I blew into my palms to feel warmer. Then, I looked ahead of me. The vastnd in front of mewasfull of ghosts.


    They were walking around with rigid movements.However, they didnt talk tooneanother. Even if they bumped into each other, they justmovedaside andcontinuedwalking. Such an imagbinedwith the cold, hazy raincreated anapocalypticscene.


    The world in front of me was spacious. I needed to find a ce to hide. By chance, I saw a pavilion inthe distance. There wasa ck structure behind it. Most of the ghosts were heading to that ce.


    I hesitantly stood for a while. In the end, I decided to go there. Aftertakingtwo steps, I felt a strong murderous aura aiming at me. In justtheblink of an eye, it shrouded mepletely.


    I was sure that it wasnt from One-Armed Dragonas he hadnt reached this horribleceyet. I carefully turned around. At first nce, I saw that all the ghostswere gazingat me like tigers eyeing their prey. Their eyessparkledwith hostility and greed.


    Ohshoot...


    I remembered that I wasnt in the trade market anymore.It made sense that they would swarm and attack me once they noticed my Yang mes.Iwas dIhad a fastreaction.


    At the moment the ghosts came to me, I cursed under my breath and took out a Yang Concealing Talisman. The ghosts immediately stopped movingand looked at meskeptically. Eventually, they shook their heads. Theirfaces resumedtheir nk expressions. Turning around, they continued their journey to the ck structure.


    I exhaled and scurried to the small pavilion in front of me. I saw someverseson the two columns of the pavilion.


    The first coupletwas,Humans and ghosts, ghosts and humans, we are different,while the second coupletwas,Yin and Yang, Yang and Yin, Yin and Yang are always separated.A dark board was hung above the two couplets with thrergebloody words: Hall of Ecstasy.


    My heart sank, andI instinctively stopped walking.


    The Hall of Ecstasy wasace every ghost had topassthroughto getto their new life. Legendhas itthatonceghosts passed this ce, they were considereddead. This was truedeath. And, if a living person walked through this ce,theywould enter thecycle of reincarnation. By that time,nonecould savetheir life!


    Behind the Hall of Ecstasywas a stream. Each ghost had to drink the water here. After drinking the water, they would tell the Ghost Servants all the good and bad things they had done during their life. Afterward, the Ghost Servants would take them to the Ten Courts of Hell to receive theirjudgment. The ghost behind me pushed me as I lingered and didnt walk into the ce.


    Ihurriedlymoved asideand madewayforhim. I used the Invisible Needle to look around. Immediately, One-Armed Dragons image appeared in my head. He was running fast toward me. The only structure in this illusoryscene was the pavilion and the path behind it.SinceI couldntenter, I decided to stay hereand wait.


    Looking at the ghosts entering the Hall of Ecstasy, I suddenly got an idea.I would use the Invisible Needle to stab One-Armed Dragon while he wasnt paying attention!


    However,I shook my head right after that. One-Armed Dragon wasatopexpertin the Longquan Vi. He wouldnt be fooled by a rookie like me.


    I suddenly thoughtofthe Bridge of Helplessness, which crossed over the River of Unmindfulness.


    Earlier, when we went there, Chuyi didnt want to step into the river because hewasinjured.Meanwhile, except forsome confusion, Ididnt fenything strange there.


    Didit mean thatpeoplewith a highercultivation base wouldexperience more damagewhen they came close to the River of Unmindfulness?


    With this thought, I proactively walked toward One-Armed Dragon. However, he hadnt appeared in my sightfor quite a long time.Feeling doubtful, I used the Invisible Needle to check. The man had surprisingly disappeared.


    I thought I had missed some ces.I closedmy eyesandcarefully sensed around. Still, I didnt see where he was.


    Is he using something likeaYang Concealing Talisman too? I muttered to myself.


    The Invisible Needle sensed and locatedatargets Yang energy. I could then send my energy to the needle to make it attack the target. But if One-Armed Dragon had concealedhis Yangenergy, the Invisible Needle couldnt find him.


    Still, he didnt consider me his opponent.After gettingthe Ghost w, he had behaughtier.He was sure that he could crush me whenever he wanted. But if he thought that way, why would he hide his Yang energy?


    Ismelled ascheme here. However, I didnt knowwhatwas happening. It made me worried and anxious.


    Suddenly, the Holy Mother Scepter radiated red light. My brows mmed together.The staff would only glowwhen something dangerous was nearby. Just a moment ago, when the ghosts swarmedaroundme, it didntreact.


    As the Holy Mother Scepterradiated a powerfulred light, I became restlessand lookedaround. A flow of fierce Yin energy suddenly came from the illusoryscene. Before I could react, the Ghost wappeared, followedbyck mist.


    I was fortunate that Ihadthe Holy Mother Scepter with me. Itallowed me to dodgethe Ghost w aimed at my neck. It flew past me, brushing my shoulder.


    Then, the flow of Yin energy came again. I knew the Ghost w was flying toward me one more time. I immediatelydropped tothe ground and rolled away. I used the Invisible Needle todeflectthe Ghost w.


    The Ghost w was releasing dark mist, while the Invisible Needle radiated a silver halo.


    Anyway,the Invisible Needle wasnt weaker than the Ghost w. It was me who wasnt as strong as One-Armed Dragon.At firstcontact, I feltas ifahugerock wascedon my chest.


    Soon, the silver halo around the needle thinned out. It looked as if it would be defeated in the next second. The dark mist around the Ghost w expanded further. Bit by bit, it forced the Invisible Needle to back off.


    In theory, if I put all of my energyinto it, I could fight against himfor a while. However, One-Armed Dragon hadnt shown up yet,soI shouldnt usetoo much energy. I found a chance to retrieve the Invisible Needle. I read theBigDipper Sirius Whip to activate the Holy Mother Scepter.


    Having owned this scepter for a long time, the weapon and I had formed a good understanding and connection. It flew up and pushed the Ghost w back. Then, I heard One-Armed Dragon scream, which came from inside the Ghost w!


    I was bewildered,butIsoon got it. He had fused his soul with the Ghost w. It also exined why I couldnt find him earlier.


    Chuyi had to let himself be beaten up to force his soul to leave his body.Yet, One-Armed Dragon could do it aseasilyas flipping his hand. He had sessfully fused with the sword. Once more, it spoke uptothe fact that he was stronger than Chuyi.


    When the Holy Mother Scepter was first activated, itreleaseda strong st of energy. Thatwas how it could attack One-Armed Dragons soul, whichwasattached tothe Ghost w. However, I didnt dare to be reckless.After pulling myself together, I focused on reading the spell.


    After the first strike, the Holy Mother Scepters red light wasnt as strong as before. It started to pull back and forth with the Ghost w.


    Although the saber was still aiming at me, it was slower than before. It seemed One-Armed Dragon couldnt fuse with the swordfora long period.


    He was much stronger than me, anyway. Around five minutester, I felt my energy draining fast.I couldnt provide enough energy to the Holy Mother Scepter, whichmade it weaker.


    The Ghost w was slow, but still, it kept attacking me. I knew that it wasacritical moment in a magic fight like this. If I couldnt attackmy opponent, I would have to step back and lose my advantage. Moreover, I was sure One-Armed Dragon hadnt used all of his power yet.


    While I stillhad someenergy, I decided to make the Invisible Needle attack one more time. One-Armed Dragon knew how fierce the needle was. He immediately controlled the saber to tilt to one side to block the Invisible Needles attack.


    I took the chance to retrieve both the Holy Mother Scepter and the Invisible Needle. I immediately ran awayand headedto the nextillusoryscene. The Invisible Needle moved with my thoughts and enteredthe illusionfirst. A momentter, a picture of thnd on the other sideappeared in my head.


    The Invisible Needle was much faster than One-Armed Dragon. Although he kept running behind me, I was able to ditch himas Iknew the path better.


    I crouchedand cedboth hands on my knees to gasp for my breath. After my heartbeatsloweddown, I headed toward the River of Unmindfulness.


    As One-Armed Dragons soulwas attached tothe Ghost w, he had to use energy continuously. If I lured him to the Bridge of Helplessness, he wouldnt be able to bear such furious Yin energy.My chancewoule then.


    Soon, I reached the Bridge of Helplessness. It was the second time Ihae here, but I was anxious as Chuyi wasnt with me this time.


    Atthis moment, the Holy Mother Scepter radiated its protective red halo one more time. It seemed One-Armed Dragon had arrived. I gritted my teeth and took out theIllusoryMind Bell. I jingledit whilecrossingthe bridge.


    After I took the first stepon the bridge, I heard the ghosts crying and howling from the river underneath. Those ghosts wanted to pull me down to make me their recement. Fortunately, theIllusoryMind Bell attacked them and shooed them away.


    I was frightenedand shooktheIllusory MindBell harder. A momentter, the ghosts knew they couldnt resistthebell. They all sank back into the water. I didnt dare to linger and moved forward.


    The Ghost w came. However, it didnt cross the bridgebut hoveredat one end.Thisproved myguess. I decided to push it further. I faced the saber,then proceeded to scold and insult it.


    One-Armed Dragon, are youalittle turtle who doesnt dare to craneitsneck out to see the world?Are you bold or not? Come hit me!


    Oh, youre scared, arent you?Ill tell you this:Yi Zhangqing couldntwash awayher sins evenwith her death!Im going to butcher you and Yin-Yang Tiger both.You four elders canvisit the Yama King together and borrow a hall to y mahjong. I kept shouting and cursing, trying to enrage him.


    Indeed, the hesitant Ghost w flew fast forwardto stab me.


    Hetook the bait!


    I bit the tip of my tongue and spat blood on the Holy Mother Scepter.After readingthe spell, I controlled the staff to parry with the saber!<hr>
