Chapter 149 Ghost Lord! Soul Snatcher!
At Wangxiangtai, ghosts can gaze upon their hometowns and relatives in the mortal world, making it one of the most popular places for the souls of the dead in the underworld.
Moreover, this is in a chaotic underworld, where there are no powerful underworld deities to govern it.
One can imagine how powerful the ghosts would gather on this Wangxiang Terrace.
Su Fan's plan to continue through the Looking-Homeward Terrace into Fengdu City and take over the power of the Underworld will not be easy.
However, Su Fan was not afraid. He still had the Soul-Hooking Divine Power of Judge Zhong Kui hidden away.
Most importantly, he made a contract with the Emperor of Fengdu. In the underworld, how could he possibly be killed?
After resting for a while and recovering some of his divine power, Su Fan got up and continued walking along the Road to the Underworld.
They didn't encounter any more ghosts along the way, but they could occasionally hear the cries of ghosts from the sea of red spider lilies lining the Yellow Springs Road.
But it seems that Su Fan killed their king, the Ghost King, so they are all very wary of Su Fan, even though there are many of them.
Just as Su Fan had thought, he was not far from Wangxiangtai.
Standing before the Viewing Platform, one can see from afar that the platform is densely packed with ghosts.
They sat or stood, their eyes gazing wistfully towards the direction of the living world, creating a somewhat melancholic atmosphere.
Su Fan cautiously approached, wondering if he could sneak past the Wangxiang Terrace.
But obviously, that's not possible.
As Su Fan approached, his body suddenly stiffened, and he cautiously looked up.
Countless resentful gazes were cast upon him, giving him goosebumps. Then, a group of ghosts rushed towards him with howling voices.
Su Fan quickly realized what was happening. He calmly took out the Soul-Suppressing Bell and shook it. At the same time, the Soul-Gathering Cauldron emitted a suction force, and the Soul-Summoning Banner flickered with light.
Under the combined effects of the soul-suppressing bell's sound waves, the soul-gathering cauldron's suction, and the soul-summoning banner's light, the numerous ghosts were forced to retreat and were continuously scattered.
However, there were simply too many ghosts on the Viewing Platform, and they kept rushing towards Su Fan.
Although it posed no threat to Su Fan, it left Su Fan feeling exhausted.
Later on, Su Fan even became somewhat disheveled because of them.
However, although there are many ghosts on the Terrace of Longing for Home, they are ultimately limited.
About half an hour later, Su Fan had eliminated all the ghosts on the Wangxiang Terrace.
Su Fan rested his hands on his knees, panting heavily, his hands trembling slightly as he held the three weapons.
He had also depleted much of his divine power.
But just as Su Fan breathed a sigh of relief, a deep roar suddenly came from the depths of the Looking-Homeward Terrace, and an even more powerful being slowly emerged.
It emitted a ghostly green light, and its aura was even more terrifying than that of the previous Ghost King.
Su Fan's body stiffened, and he looked up.
A huge ghostly figure slowly emerged, with long, blue fangs and eyeballs protruding from their sockets.
It has no feet, but floats in the sky, its entire body a strange bluish-white color.
Judging from this, he's even more powerful than the Ghost King. Wouldn't that make him a Ghost Lord?!
As Su Fan pondered this, his eyes suddenly widened.
Ghost Lord? Does that mean the ghost in front of us has the strength of an eighth-level God Master?
Holy crap, can he even beat this guy?
This is not even deep into the underworld, the central city of Fengdu. If we were inside, would there be ghosts equivalent to ninth-level Divine Masters?
Su Fan swallowed hard.
If there really is a ghost equivalent to a ninth-tier Divine Master, then he can forget about controlling the Underworld.
Let's go back to China and improve our strength before coming back.
But that would not solve the crisis in the underworld, and China would continue to be invaded by ghosts from the underworld.
If his strength cannot be improved quickly and he enters the underworld again, then China is doomed!
There's no other way; we have to give it a try.
Whether we can win or not, we'll only know after we fight!
How can we be afraid before the battle even begins?
Let's practice on this Ghost Lord first!
With so many abilities and weapons to subdue ghosts, this Ghost Lord might not be his match!
The appearance of the Ghost Lord caused the surrounding temperature to drop sharply, and Su Fan felt a bone-chilling cold all over his body.
The Ghost Lord stared coldly at Su Fan, and a chilling voice rang out from his mouth:
"What are people from the mortal realm doing trespassing into the underworld, a place teeming with ghosts?"
Su Fan snorted coldly: "What?"
"Your money's here!"
Upon hearing Su Fan's words, the Ghost Lord flew into a rage.
With a wave of its hands, countless black ghostly energies shot towards Su Fan like sharp blades.
Su Fan's inner alarm bells rang loudly, and he fully activated his divine power to control the Soul Gathering Cauldron, the Soul Suppressing Bell, and the Soul Summoning Banner to defend himself.
The Soul Gathering Cauldron frantically absorbed ghost energy, the Soul Suppressing Bell's sound waves vibrated, dispersing some of the ghost energy, and the Soul Summoning Banner's light flickered, blocking the remaining attacks.
But the Ghost Lord is an even more powerful being than the Ghost King. Su Fan struggled to even fight a Ghost King, let alone the Ghost Lord.
Although Su Fan managed to block it, the aftershocks still caused his blood and qi to surge.
Upon seeing this, the Ghost Lord flashed and instantly appeared in front of Su Fan, slamming his enormous hand down on him.
Su Fan reacted quickly, dodging to the side while simultaneously summoning the Judge's Pen of the Fengdu Emperor.
The judge's pen collided with the ghost lord's palm, sparks flying.
Su Fan took the opportunity to increase the distance between himself and the Ghost Lord.
At the same time, he shouted, "Soul Snatcher!"
The bristles of the judge's pen in his hand quickly elongated, transforming into the shape of a hook.
The hook stabbed towards the Ghost Lord like a serpent. The Ghost Lord did not expect Su Fan to have this trick up his sleeve. He could not dodge in time and the hook of the Judge's Pen caught his body.
Su Fan pulled sharply, causing the Ghost Lord's body to shake violently.
However, the Ghost Lord was powerful after all. With a roar, its eerie green light intensified, and it forcefully broke free from the Soul-Hooking Bind.
Su Fan was shocked by what he saw.
The Soul Hook is specifically designed to deal with spirits, yet the Ghost Lord managed to escape it.
It can only be said that the ghost of this Ghost Lord has cultivated to an extremely stable level, even comparable to the human body.
The Ghost Lord felt pain from being hooked by the Soul-Snatching Hand and became even angrier.
Its ghostly aura surged wildly, condensing into a giant ghostly claw that viciously grabbed at Su Fan.
Su Fan dared not take the attack head-on. He quickly used his Chang'e flying to the moon divine power to nimbly move through the ghost's claws.
At the same time, he concentrated his mind and poured all the remaining divine power in his body into the Soul Gathering Cauldron.
The Soul Gathering Cauldron shone brightly, its suction power becoming stronger than ever before, drawing in the ghostly energy surrounding the Ghost Lord.
The Ghost Lord's attack rhythm was disrupted. Su Fan seized the opportunity and swung the Judge's Pen again, releasing the Soul-Hooking Divine Power once more, striking directly at the Ghost Lord's vitals.
This time, the Ghost Lord, whose vital point had been hooked again, became illusory, and his entire ghost became extremely weak.
The Ghost Lord screamed in fury, and the sound waves transformed into sharp blades covered with deadly ghostly energy, attacking Su Fan.
This was a full-force attack from the Ghost Lord in his rage, and Su Fan dared not be careless.
With each step he took, lotus blossoms appeared!
He was enveloped by lotus blossoms, and at the same time, he used the magic of Chang'e flying to the moon to narrowly avoid all of the Ghost Lord's attacks while constantly getting closer to him.
Seeing that even this couldn't kill Su Fan, the Ghost Lord glared at him with resentment:
"Human, you're very good. I'll make you feel better later. For now, just leave this Viewing Platform behind."
After saying that, it turned around and tried to leave.
But Su Fan was not about to waste this opportunity. He immediately unleashed the full power of Chang'e Flying to the Moon, charged forward, and smashed the Soul-Suppressing Bell hard against the Ghost Lord.
The Ghost Lord, who was fleeing in a sorry state, did not expect Su Fan to be so fast. It was hit so hard that it lost its balance.
Su Fan naturally wouldn't waste the opportunity. The bristles of the Judge's Pen quickly extended, and countless bristles transformed into countless needles, piercing into the Ghost Lord's body.
Su Fan finally defeated the Ghost Lord completely, and the Ghost Lord vanished without a trace.
Su Fan collapsed to the ground, then quickly sat up cross-legged to recover his divine power.
