Chapter 600: Human Caster

“Boom...”

Another arch of light appeared in the sky. Each time it happened, it meant that Ghost Mo had soared into the sky and was pressing in on Ou Yangming and Big Yellow from behind.

Ou Yangming reacted extremely quickly. He released his mental power and watched Ghost Mo’s every move at any time.

In terms of speed only, Big Yellow could not be on par with Ghost Mo even after wearing its suit. Although the spirit insect belonged to the Insects, it was a potent top-grade spirit beast. By arching and flicking its body, it traveled hundreds of meters in an instant, which could not be compared by ordinary centipedes.

Nonetheless, when Ghost Mo leaped high into the sky and was almost above Ou Yangming and Big Yellow, it suddenly saw a queer scene.

The big yellow dog had also jumped and changed its direction halfway, by which it dodged to the left.

Ghost Mo turned its enormous body in mid-air too, and it bent its long body into a semicircle to envelope the young fellow and the dog.

Who knew, it was then when its vision went blurry as the human and the dog disappeared from its encirclement. Even with its strength, it failed to notice how Ou Yangming and Big Yellow escaped.

“Pow!”

Big Yellow landed hard on the ground, then it continued to flee with all its might.

The big yellow dog and Ou Yangming knew their limits; they knew they would not be able to defeat the powerful top-grade spirit beast.

Escape—their only choice was to escape.

Ou Yangming exhaled deeply, causing a peculiar light to flash on his armor. This was another Spell Rune that he learned in front of the crystal wall at the peak.

The skill was able to confuse one. Even though it was not an offensive skill, it was undoubtedly the perfect time to release it as it could lure Ghost Mo away.

Ou Yangming sat on Big Yellow and shouted, “Senior Ghost Mo, there’s no enmity between me and your race, so why are you pestering me!”

Big Yellow’s ears twitched, and it thought, ‘We killed a spirit centipede in the lower realm, did you forget that?’ Nevertheless, it was a fleeting thought. It immediately refocused on escaping.

Ghost Mo scoffed. Instead of explaining, it arched its body again.

The Insects were separated into different races too. Ghost Mo did not belong to Ghost-clawed Venerable One’s line; it belonged to the 10,000 Legs Venerable One’s line.

Ghost-clawed’s line was the one that openly sought trouble with Ou Yangming in the lower realm, but the 10,000 Leg’s line had also received news and secretly intervened. If not, Ghost Mo would not have left the mountain after hearing Ou Yangming’s name to sneak an attack on him without bothering about 10,000 Beasts Venerable One.

The light arch in the sky was dazzling, but it carried an intense aura of death as though a towering mountain was about to crush Ou Yangming and Big Yellow.

Ou Yangming smiled bitterly. He suddenly lifted its leg and kicked upward.

In an instant, the water particles in the air around him became lively. It took only a blink of an eye for the water particles to agglomerate, where they turned into a wave and charged at Ghost Mo, which was pouncing on them from above.

The Waterfall Attack!

This was one of the gifted skills that Ou Yangming learned from Mount Liang Wolf King.

Despite that, Ghost Mo was indifferent. ‘Could a mere water-mastery attack block my path?

‘This young human fella is truly overconfident.’

Perhaps it would be wary about the ghostly skills before, but it was no longer concerned at the moment.

Ghost Mo’s legs in the front section extended forward. Normally, a centipede’s legs would not be too long, but one with its cultivation base would have legs that were equivalent to forceful weapons. As such, it could extend and retract them as it wished.

Over 10 of its legs were extended into the incoming water. The water flow was similar to tickles to it as it could not obstruct it at all.

Having said that, just as Ghost Mo wanted to split the water flow to continue its attack, its body stiffened.

The water flow somehow turned cold as soon as it touched its body.

No, not only did the water turn cold, but it directly turned into ice. The waterfall was even more detestable because it happened to have completely enveloped Ghost Mo’s body. Consequently, the spirit insect’s body turned into a humongous and long ice rod.

“Boom...”

As formidable as Ghost Mo was, it was distracted for a moment too.

‘What exactly is happening?’ Before it could figure out the situation, the ice rod that wrapped its body crashed hard into the ground and ruptured due to the intense power.

Ghost Mo shook its body to get rid of the ice, but it realized that Ou Yangming and Big Yellow had gone far away.

It did not delay much time, but Big Yellow, which was fleeing for its life, would not stop even for a second. Hence, the big yellow dog had taken the opportunity to scurry away.

Ghost Mo roared furiously but due to an insect’s vocal organ, its voice did not spread far and wide. At this point, the spirit insect was so mad that it had become dizzy. It stared at the escaping figures in the distance and arched its body once more.

It had decided to take down the human and the dog no matter what.

After presenting them to the 10,000 Legs Venerable One, it also planned to leave one of them to itself as it wanted to vent its anger by crushing one of them into pieces.

It was a top-grade spirit beast, but it kept missing the 2 little fellows, who were equivalent to low-rank spirit beasts. If news spread, it would not be utterly embarrassed.

“Woosh...”

Ghost Mo’s long body shot out like an arrow. It stared hatefully at Ou Yangming and the big yellow dog from the sky.

‘This young fella knows how to hide his aura, cause illusions, attack with water flows, agglomerate ice...

‘They’re not great tricks, but they’re unexpectedly effective when they’re used as a combination, which allowed him to escape from me.

‘Hmph, but I’ve seen all his tricks now, so there won’t be any mishap from now on!’

Ghost Mo’s extensive body crashed down like an oppressive mountain. It adopted the simplest and roughest attack by using its absolute power.

The spirit insect would not have dared to do this if it encountered an equal-ranked powerhouse from the Walking Beasts but given that it was a top-grade spirit beast, it would be a fool if it did not do this against a low-grade spirit beast. After all, if one was a normal living being, one would not fight a thousand or so rounds with one’s opponent if one could have knocked down the opponent with one punch.

Since they were not too far from the 10,000 Beasts Ridge, Ghost Mo needed to capture the human and the dog and leave as fast as possible.

This time, Ou Yangming and Big Yellow finally could not escape anymore as they were suppressed by Ghost Mo, which descended from the sky. However, before the spirit insect could laugh out loud, it realized that something was off below it.

It was as though it was not suppressing bodies, but an indestructible giant rock.

When it lowered its head to look, it felt dizzy.

It turned out that it had not suppressed Ou Yangming and Big Yellow, but the toughest mountain rock ever.

Normally, mountain rocks were tough, but they would not be able to withstand Ghost Mo’s power no matter what. On the contrary, this mountain rock was unbelievably tough, so much so that it slit a thin red line on its abdomen. If the spirit insect had not tempered a body of steel, it would have suffered from this. In actuality, the part of its body that was being poked at the moment was aching a little.

Ghost Mo did not know that a spirit beast from its race had its body penetrated by this power when it fought Ou Yangming and Big Yellow in the lower realm, and the beast then died a miserable death.

The spirit insect’s legs began to move intensely; it was its natural reaction after being deeply infuriated.

Once again, Ghost Mo was fooled by the human. While it was not hurt, its raging fire had reached an extremity.

‘Kill him, kill him, I’m going to kill him regardless of the costs!’

Ghost Mo’s best trick was arching its body and flicking it to pursue its opponents, and it never returned empty-handed. That said, after meeting Ou Yangming, the ability that it prided itself with seemed to have become useless. No matter how the spirit insect tried to get close to the young fellow, it would somehow face queer attacks from spells.

Moreover, there was not just 1 spell, but 2 or 3. Most of the time, an Intermediate Spell would be paired with 1 or 2 Rudimentary Spells.

Usually, Ghost Mo would not bother about such spells. Nonetheless, bizarre and forceful powers were always generated whenever Ou Yangming released them, causing its attacks to be disintegrated every time, and it ended up not accomplishing anything.

The longer Ghost Mo pursued the human and the dog, the more its heart pounded. Furthermore, a cold look could be seen in its eyes.

It gritted its teeth as it watched Ou Yangming and Big Yellow escape in desperation, but it was feeling helpless.

In the beginning, Ghost Mo had its plan. It did not plan to kill Ou Yangming because it knew what the 10,000 Legs Venerable One wanted. Therefore, after meeting the young fellow unexpectedly, it quickly set up something and did not hesitate to use its fog, which it had refined and stored for many years.

Who knew, Ou Yangming made up his mind to escape right away, and he was crafty as he knew many mysterious spells.

At this moment, a faint chill rose from the bottom of Ghost Mo’s heart.

‘The spells are either powerful or weak, but they’re always effective and mighty when they’re used together.

‘But how could a little human cultivator learn so many spells? What frightened me more is—how did he learn how to match those spells together?

‘Even if he’s a caster from the Humans, he couldn’t have achieved this at such a young age.

‘I must catch up to him and seize him to find out what’s going on.’

With that, Ghost Mo arched its body many times and flew forward like an arrow leaving its bow.

‘I mustn’t let it run away. No matter what it takes, I mustn’t!’
