Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 377 - 142: Total Eradication, Wood Demon Taming Skill

Chapter 377: Chapter 142: Total Eradication, Wood Demon Taming Skill

Just a short moment later, a scream of agony echoed from not far away, coming from a Sixth Grade Disciple of the Divine Wood Hall.

The Sixth Grade Disciple was suspended in mid-air, as if caught in an invisible web, and his body was rapidly corroding... melting...

Someone beside him hurriedly tried to pull him away, but couldn’t budge him.

The Sixth Grade Disciple’s whole body was enveloped in Shadow Blood, his skin blood-red as if burned, his entire being struggling frantically. He surged skyward, but his body sprang out over a hundred meters like a large spring, only to be pulled back, crashing into the ground, creating a deep pit.

This commotion immediately drew the attention of an Elder.

The Elder flew down, landing beside the Sixth Grade Disciple, waved his hand, and scorching blood energy spread out...

Normally, when sinister things encounter this blood energy, they would retreat abruptly as if meeting their nemesis, but the Sixth Grade Disciple was stuck even tighter...

The Elder was taken aback, fingers clenched in a grasp, unleashing more blood.

With such burning, the disciple seemingly escaped his predicament, falling from mid-air, but his body was almost entirely melted.

But, how formidable is the life force of a Sixth Grade Martial Artist?

Even melted down to bare bones, he could still be saved.

The disciple’s fingers trembled as they drew an Ancestral Talisman, slapping it onto himself again and again, and with each strike, the melted flesh began to regrow with an unimaginable vitality.

The Elder glanced twice, seeing no issue, then left.

...

Li Yuan and Cui Wuji strolled down the street, searching for the "Xiaozhao" who didn’t exist.

Turning around a corner, they heard the sound of rapid running coming from not far away, only to see a man in black "passing through walls" at high speed, passing through wall after wall without any damage, heading toward the outskirts of the city, but behind him in mid-air, a red mist relentlessly pursued.

Cui Wuji, watching in astonishment, said, "I’ve lived quite a few years, and I’ve never seen such a skill before."

At a glance, Li Yuan knew that this figure had "removed the curse and thereby acquired some ability."

In fact, in the present day, the overall strength of these figures should have generally increased,

because, besides using Evil Ghost Tools, they themselves also possessed some "small abilities" of ghosts, similar to how he could open doors.

What’s interesting, though, is that while the "Evil Ghost Tools" can be used anywhere, these "small abilities" of ghosts can only be used within the Ghost Realm or nearby areas.

A Ghost Realm has an influence range, but it also has an extension...

For example, he can use the "door opening" power in the northern part of Shanbao County or in Hua Mo County where the Carpenter’s Shop is located, but beyond that, the power becomes ineffective.

Hua Mo County is the influence range of the "Carpenter’s Shop," while "the northern part of Shanbao County" is the extension range...

In other words, these figures displaying their powers here were under the influence of some Ghost Realm.

Put simply, there actually exists a Ghost Realm near the Divine Wood Hall as well, and it seems to be quite large, because... he hadn’t detected it at all, nor heard of any Ghost Realm nearby.

As for why there were no strange deaths at Divine Wood Hall, it should be within the extension of that Ghost Realm...

Thoughts flashed by, and Li Yuan wanted to step forward to capture the figure and inquire about the whereabouts of "his daughter."

But as soon as he moved, a gentle hand stopped him.

"Our genius Demon Tamer cannot be on the front lines."

A gentle laugh, and a white shadow darted out, with the red light following, and the figure "passing through walls" got flung backward entirely, then lay flat, motionless.

Cui Wuji flicked his long sleeves, swatting away the approaching insects.

Li Yuan stepped forward, looking at the man in black, and demanded fiercely, "I am Master Li, where is my daughter?!"

The man in black: ???

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, coughing while saying, "I... I’ll tell you, cough cough, will you spare me?"

Li Yuan looked at Cui Wuji.

Unexpectedly, Cui Wuji nodded, saying, "I swear on my Heart Demon, as long as you provide valid information regarding Master Li’s daughter, we will definitely let you go. This is a direct order from the Hall Master, you need not worry."

Li Yuan’s face showed gratitude.

Only then did the man in black say, "During the afternoon today, I... I saw Gong Jiwei grab a girl and run to a barren field, saying he wanted revenge for those deceased comrades.

I... I know that Gong Jiwei’s brother died in the previous massacre on Ghost Street, so he wants revenge.

I heard Gong Jiwei screaming ’Xiaozhao’s’ name, also saying things like ’if your dad joined us earlier, we could have left sooner, my brother wouldn’t have died,’ and ’blame your dad, not us.’

The little girl cried and shouted, then... I saw Gong Jiwei lighting a fire..."

Li Yuan was dumbfounded.

He immediately recovered, inquiring more about the appearance of that girl, and found she was exactly like Xiaozhao.

If not for the fact that he himself had two black birds perched on Xiaozhao’s shoulders watching her, he would have really thought it was his own daughter.

But at this moment, all his hearing brought was rage.

He rushed forward, emphasizing each word, "Take... me... there..."

Soon, the three arrived at a wasteland.

In the wasteland was a heap of charred black embers, long since trampled, but some small jewelry on the ground remained unscathed, a piece of jewelry that Xiaozhao usually wore to play, the Jade Beads.

Yes... the same kind.

Li Yuan rushed forward, cupped the beads, and let out an animalistic wail of agony, then his eyes turned red, filled with immense hatred, while his heart was utterly solemn.
