My Scales Can Make Equivalent Exchange-Chapter 71 - Continuous Battles

The Magma Fireball, emanating a terrifying wave, was launched point-blank by Wang Zijia into the open mouth of the ghost baby.

Having fulfilled his tactics, Wang Zijia activated his mana. Streaming light shrouded his body, and he resembled a shooting star as he retreated backward.

‘Escape Technique: Meteor Flash!’

In the blink of an eye, Wang Zijia had retreated several meters. Although this technique allowed for quick movement, its range was limited.

“Boom!”

Then, a massive explosion was set off, accompanied by a wrathful shock wave.

Wang Zijia, who had just finished retreating, was also affected by the explosion. Even though he was the caster of the spell and had deliberately directed the shock wave, the huge wave still sent him flying at such a close range. He crashed into the back wall of the Ancestral Hall, bumping into the shield of the protective array before finally stopping.

His personal mana shield fluctuated rapidly, actually withstanding it another time. The item his wife had given him before he set out was clearly a top-notch gem and extremely powerful.

The ghost baby, who was stuffed with the fireball by Wang Zijia, was now blasted into pieces and scattered everywhere.

Without a moment’s pause, Wang Zijia summoned six long spears. They shot towards the semi-collapsed ruins of the ancestral hall. That was where another ghost baby had been blasted away.

The previous battle, though lengthy in description, happened in a blink of an eye. When another ghost baby caught sight of Wang Zijia’s advancing spears, it paused, pushed away the spears with a few agile swipes, charged towards Wang Zijia to join in the fight, and besiege him.

At this moment, the Magma Fireball had just exploded, and the ghost baby was blown away at an even higher speed.

“Puff!”

“Snap!”

As Wang Zijia quickly summoned another six spears, the second ghost baby that had been blown away just started to get up. This time it managed to repel only four. The two remaining spears pierced through its chest like lightning bolts.

Not giving it a chance to breath, Wang Zijia, trusting the robust defense of his shield, turned into a streak of light. He dashed towards the ghost baby like a bolt of lightning.

“Waah”

The ghost baby, nailed to the ground with burn marks all over, instinctively opened its mouth and let out a desperate wail of pain.

But he didn’t interrupt Wang Zijia’s movement. He charged forward like a meteor. Mana flowed between his hands, and he conjured an earth-colored long spear. Holding it like a dagger and manipulating the mana, he took advantage of his forward momentum. The spear was thrust into its mouth, piercing through its entire brain.

It was pinned into the ground!

“Huff!”

Having done all this, Wang Zijia looked slightly pale as he let out a breath of turbid air.

Just a moment of battle had drained nearly half of his mana, highlighting the intensity of his previous efforts.

The ghost baby, despite being stabbed through the brain, was still not dead and continued to struggle on the ground. With a slight shift in his mind, Wang Zijia stirred the part of the spear lodged in its brain like quicksand, completely filling its brain.

“Pop!”

Accompanied by a light sound, the quicksand explosion swelled and burst through the ghost baby’s brain. Earthy yellow grit flowed out, and all movement ceased.

“Uh!”

Before Wang Zijia could relax, a muffled groan emanated from one corner of the ancestral hall as the last ghost baby perished.

Without any hesitation, Wang Zijia immediately flipped his hand and a dark red molten fireball flew out, due to information had from the weights before.

“Wait…”

“Boom!”

The fireball turned into a streak of light, rushed to the corner of the ancestral hall, and exploded with a loud bang. A vague figure was thrown out, landing far away.

Wang Zijia’s eyes flickered. Instead of giving chase, he flipped his hand again, a jade bottle appeared, and he mercilessly ate a crystal-clear jade pill that had come out.

This was the second life-saving object that his wife Xiang Feifei gave him, a top-grade Replenishing Qi Pill which could restore all the mana of an advanced pupil in just seven minutes.

“Cough, cough…”

Meanwhile, the figure that had been thrown far away struggled to his feet, wobbling as he headed towards Wang Zijia.

Wang Zijia’s eyes noticed every minute detail of his opponent.

The figure was an extremely old man, skinny and hunched over, his sparse hair white, and his wrinkles-laden face full of age spots. He oozed an aura of old age, as if he could die at any moment.

But the molten fireball explosion just now hadn’t hurt him, which was why Wang Zijia didn’t immediately make another move.

The old man’s cultivation was a bit strange. In his sensing, he was an intermediate level pupil, but he had the aura of an advanced pupil. It was as if his realm had deteriorated due to old age.

The old man tottered towards Wang Zijia, bowed, and said, “Huang Chengming from the Huang family pays respect to Senior Brother Wang!”

“You’re from the Huang family?” Wang Zijia furrowed his brows, observing the old man who kept getting closer. “Hasn’t the Huang family been devoid of monks for over twenty years, having declined to a mere mortal family?”

“To reply to senior Brother, I used to serve as a sect servant. However, due to my old age, I had returned to my clan many years ago,” spoke the old man. He did not stop moving closer, seeming to fear that he wouldn’t hear clearly from afar.

Wang Zijia’s eye flickered. Hearing this, he flipped his hand to take out his identity card as though he had the authority of the Law Enforcement Team, and seemed about to check the old man’s identity information.

‘Curse Technique: Five Ghosts Heart Devouring!’

As soon as Wang Zijia touched the light screen of the identity card, the old man’s mana surged implausibly. A ghostly head broke out of his body and charged directly at Wang Zijia.

Almost simultaneously, two dark red fireballs blinked into existence in front of Wang Zijia, targeted directly at the old man’s face.

Moreover, another talisman on his body was activated, transforming into a majestic suit of armor that completely enveloped Wang Zijia.

This was the third life-saving item from his wife, a high-quality advanced defensive talisman, Rock Armor!
