Chapter 464: Chapter 462 Ghost Turns Back
Ghost Coffinâs ghosts cannot be imprisoned.
Because imprisoning a ghost will trigger its second ability, similar to a reboot. The ghost will discard its identity and reappear before you under another guise.
Yang Jian had already experienced this once in Huanggang Village, so he was crystal clear about this.
Since it could not be imprisoned, what he could do was to reduce the ghostâs power, decreasing the number of ghosts it could suppress from nine to six.
Only by reducing the ghostâs level of terror would Yang Jian dare to proceed with the next step of his plan.
The best way to reduce the number of ghosts it could suppress was to take away the Coffin Nail left in him by Wang Xiaoming.
âŠ
As for why the target was that particular Coffin Nail.
There was only one reason.
Because the Coffin Nail was made from the combination of three âcrashedâ ghosts and the power of the Ghost Coffin, removing it would have no consequences. Conversely, if another ghost were to be taken, the lack of the Ghost Coffinâs restraint after removal might cause it to turn and kill someone on oneâs own side.
âMy fierce ghost abilities can still be usedâŠâ
At that moment, Yang Jian was swiftly scanning the ghost before him with his Ghost Eye.
He needed to find traces of that Coffin Nail.
It certainly wasnât true that Wang Xiaoming had just lost it; it must have been expended to delay the ghost and buy time for escape.
So it was very likely that the Coffin Nail was on the ghostâs body.
âFound it.â
All of a sudden.
Yang Jian saw a pitch-black mark on the ghostâs shoulder, a mark that penetrated the cold corpse and seemed to extend right into its heart.
However, what made his scalp tingle was the fact thatâŠ
The form of the Coffin Nail had disappeared and the black mark that remained had merged with the ghostâs flesh, indistinguishable from each other.
Had the Ghost General integrated the Coffin Nail into its own body?
Or was it the convergence of various paranormal activities that brewed this fierce ghost, plunging everyone into despair?
No time to think about that anymore.
Even if the Coffin Nail had fused into a patch of darkened flesh, Yang Jian was determined to dismember it.
With the power of the Headless Ghost Shadow, he should be able to.
He gritted his teeth, the Headless Ghost Shadow concentrated on his arm. Yang Jian did not dare to be careless; he decided to test the Ghost Hand that had previously been grafted onto his body.
The Ghost Hand, capable of remaining within the third layer of the Ghost Domain, should logically be able to invade the body of this ghost.
His pale, bloodless palm covered by a black shadow, Yang Jian immediately charged forward and grabbed at the ghostâs shoulder with this hand.
The first direct contact with the fierce ghost.
The combination of Headless Ghost Shadow and Ghost Hand formed a new paranormal ability, aiming to infiltrate the ghostâs body, using the Ghost Shadowâs ability to graft corpses and the Ghost Handâs ability to invade the third layer of the Ghost Domain to forcefully dismember part of the ghost.
The collision of ghosts caused the surrounding environment to change.
The darkness retreated as quickly as a tide, and everything around was no longer pitch black. It was as if morning came in an instant, and a faint light from nowhere appeared, restoring everyoneâs visibility. Although not particularly bright, it was enough to clearly see the surroundings.
âWhatâs happened? Is it morning?â
âNo, the Ghost Domain has receded.â
âThe Ghost Domain hasnât receded, the distance is still engulfed in pitch darkness, itâs just our location that has returned to normal, it seems like the ghost is temporarily not affecting our surroundings, could it be because weâve met up with Qian Yi?â
The others were all amazed and felt that the situation must have improved.
However, when they saw the scene before them, they were terrified beyond measure.
Qian Yiâs body, blood flowing freely and twisted out of shape, hung by a grass rope in mid-air, but he wasnât dead, still struggling in agony, though it was futile.
An icy, darkened corpse stood with its back to them, rigidly erect and motionless.
Yang Jianâs hand, pale and bloodless, was covered by the shadow of a Ghost Shadow and startlingly sunk into the shoulder of that corpse, as if consumed, or as if he had actively reached into it.
This, this is⊠a ghost?
That extra, eerie corpse made everyoneâs scalp tingle and filled them with a chilling dread.
This scene made it clear that the Ghost Envoy almost killed Qian Yi, but Yang Jian intervened in time to block the ghostâs attack.
It was indeed because of Yang Jianâs intervention that part of the ghostâs powers were nullified, the darkness dissipated, and they could see clearly.
âIâve lost feeling in my arm, I canât control the Headless Ghost Shadow eitherâŠâ Yang Jianâs eyes narrowed at that moment, feeling that his entire arm no longer belonged to him, even though it had been eroded by the Ghost Hand before, it had never been immobilized like this.
Unable to move, to retract, or to continue dismembering the ghost.
This was a form of suppression.
It was also the most despair-inducing ability of this ghost, the ability to unmistakably suppress the powers of other ghosts.
But Yang Jian had already anticipated this.
He had calculated that this ghost could at most suppress nine ghosts, and now what he needed to do was to challenge the ghostâs limit.
At that moment.
The true ghost seemed to react to Yang Jianâs attack; it no longer just stood stiffly there, nor did it choose to leave, but instead its head began to eerily turn backward slowly with its stiff neck emitting a grating sound as if its vertebrae had already broken, but this had no effect on a ghost.
The ferocious ghost turned its head, apparently targeting Yang Jian.
This was a transformation.
Because Yang Jian had made direct contact with the ghost, the so-called principle of being isolated would be changed.
If one did not make contact with the ghost, it would assess a larger area, possibly a small region. Once Yang Jian made contact with the ghost, this three-meter assessment would disappear.
At that time, whoever touched the ghost would be in an isolated state.
Furthermore, Yang Jian was in prolonged contact, and he didnât quickly withdraw his hand after touching it.
As the ghost turned its head, Yang Jian felt that his body, especially his neck, seemed to be out of his control, twisting in a terrifying and astonishing force, unable to resist, as if his body involuntarily made that motion.
If it continued, Yang Jian felt his body would be twisted into a pretzel.
Zhang Lei, seeing this, seemed to realize something and immediately cried out in horror, âWe canât let this ghost turn its head; this is another ghost masterâs ability called Ghostâs Turn. After the ghost turns, the person behind will surely die without a doubt.â
âI will block this attack.â
Clamping his teeth, he rushed forward immediately.
The plan had been exactly this; Yang Jian was responsible for taking action, while the others had to withstand the ghostâs attack, ensuring Yang Jian wasnât killed by the ghost during the suppression period.
If Yang Jian died, all hope would be lost.
If they could successfully withstand the attack, then they would have a chance to leave this place.
