Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!-Chapter 269 - 184: Ability (First Update)
Chapter 269: Chapter 184: Ability (First Update)
“We need to retreat,”
Su Jie recalled the Painting Woman and the Lantern Ghost, grabbing the Ghost Bride with one hand, preparing to escape on the Xiao Qian brand sky train.
“Trying to flee…”
Zou Minzun’s eyes were blood red, the Residual Soul Sword kept slashing down, and the Demon Cave Mountain glowed brightly with blood.
Ning Xinyue stretched out both arms, releasing the Xuanyin Cold Flow from the Sky Dome that silently spread within the quietness.
The air seemed to have solidified, as the cold flow carried ice and darkness, continuously streaming forward.
Plants and animals along the way were instantly frozen, turning into lifelike ice sculptures, all of which shattered when a breeze blew through.
The towering Demon Cave Mountain, in the midst of its furious power, had half of its mass sealed in ice, turning into a lump of icy bumps.
Ning Xinyue’s cute little face turned red as she exerted all her strength, managing to temporarily seal the Ten Thousand Soul Banner crafted by a hundred thousand Yin Souls.
Xiao Fengyuan’s body trembled violently, his flesh on the neck bulged rapidly, and his upper body completely deformed, transforming into nine huge snake heads joined to long necks, each with gaping mouths madly snapping and chasing after that top-grade Residual Soul Sword.
The Residual Soul Sword kept piercing through the clouds, cutting off huge snake heads that crashed into the ground, creating large pits.
Luckily, having nine heads, Xiao Fengyuan could withstand the onslaught for a moment.

The thousand-hand centipede was also in motion, spewing out intense Death Decline Curse Clouds, covering the area below where Gongyang Ji and Zou Minzun were.
It forced the two Secret Realm Elders to dodge left and right, not daring to touch this terrifying curse.
Taking advantage of the time gained, Su Jie stepped onto the Seven Star Steps, weaving through the army of ghosts, closing the distance with the thousand-hand centipede.
With the Ghost Bride by his side, even if Su Jie bumped into these Fierce Ghosts, they made no move to attack.
It was only when some fifth-grade fierce ghosts neared Su Jie that they showed a desire to attack, but the Painting Woman and the Lantern Ghost also protected Su Jie, preventing his speed from being affected.
As long as they got far enough away, they did not continue the chase, allowing Su Jie to break free from the encirclement of the fierce ghost army.
But the four sixth-grade Fierce Ghosts were different; they were still relentlessly pursuing Su Jie.
The Ghost Bride looked over the four sixth-grade Fierce Ghosts and suddenly waved her hand.
The large form of the Lantern Ghost suddenly collapsed, its flesh turning into a bright red paint.
The Ghost Bride stretched out her pale left hand, catching the falling lantern.
At that moment, the lantern had turned from white to festive red, and the character ‘奠’ originally on the lantern was replaced with a large ‘喜’ character.
If the past lantern was for mourning, what the Ghost Bride now held, representing the festivity of a marriage, was a bridal lantern, a palace lantern.
“Great joy!”
The Ghost Bride raised the lantern, the character ‘喜’ on the lantern facing the approaching Starving Ghost.
Characters of ‘喜’ appeared on the Starving Ghost’s body, causing it to begin to weirdly disintegrate and melt, greatly slowing down the pursuit.
In the sky, numerous large red lanterns drifted, blocking the view and creating eerie vows echoing from within the lanterns.
“A husband should be as unwavering as a rock, and a wife as resilient as reed; the reed is as tenacious as silk, the rock never shifts its place; in life we reside in separate rooms, in death we share the same grave. If you say that I am distrustful, you are as stark as the noon sun.”
The vows caused several sixth-grade Fierce Ghosts to look up, only to see the lanterns descend, covering their heads, transforming into red bridal veils, momentarily confusing their direction and attack.
“Heavenly Might!”
Su Jie held his breath and used his Primordial Spirit to connect with the Tao River once more, pulling a wisp of Tao essence into his body.
Five Elements Demon Suppressing Handprint!
Purple Cloud Heavenly Thunder!
High-Temperature Beam!
Su Jie launched a triple strike, leveraging the power of his Primordial Spirit’s Heavenly Might to make these attacks especially ferocious.
The several sixth-grade fierce ghosts opposite were covered by red veils, completely unable to dodge.
Boom!
The Ghost Mother was enveloped by the Five Elements Demon Suppressing Handprint, and without the enhancement of the Primordial Spirit’s Heavenly Might, this move would hardly be effective against her, but now it was different.
As the handprint struck the Ghost Mother, she was blasted a hundred meters away, her entire body folding in half.
Streaks of Heavenly Thunder struck the Starving Ghost, with the thunder suppressing the most ferocious of the ghosts, turning dense flashes of lightning into an electric cage, trapping it inside.
And the two high-temperature beams emitted from the eye sockets hit the Headless Ghost and the Sword Labor Ghost respectively, melting huge cavities into their chests.
The three attacks, almost simultaneous, though unable to kill them, once again slowed their pursuit.
As Su Jie launched his attack, the Ghost Bride, as if in perfect synchrony, slowly lifted her right hand.
The Painting Woman beside her body twisted and turned into a delicate Double Phoenix Mirror, hanging on the Ghost Bride’s chest.
In the Tianyuan World, mirrors are considered auspicious objects, often used to ward off evil spirits, exorcise demons, and ensure safety. Mirrors also symbolize perfection and eternity. Also, because the sound of ‘mirror’ is somewhat similar to ‘son-in-law’, many newly married women hang a mirror on their chests.
“Arranging my hair in the mirror.”
The Ghost Bride picked up the Double Phoenix Mirror she wore on her chest, as if she was dressing up.
Reflected in the mirror was the Ghost Bride’s hauntingly beautiful face. The faces of several sixth-grade fierce ghosts convulsed and twisted violently, changing to resemble the Ghost Bride’s visage. Arriving almost simultaneously with Su Jie’s strike, this froze the powerful ghosts where they stood.
The Lantern Ghost and the Painting Woman, originally fifth-grade fierce ghosts, in the hands of the Ghost Bride, their power rose to another level.
Su Jie’s eyes flickered. It seemed Han Ruyan’s ability was not just to weaken the spiritual power of the ghosts that came close; she could also enhance the combat power of the ghosts through contact, making her a sovereign among them. No wonder she could become an emperor among the ghosts.
Su Jie’s thoughts flashed, but now was not the time to ponder this.
Seizing the opportunity when several sixth-grade fierce ghosts were preoccupied, Su Jie wrapped his arm around Han Ruyan’s waist and, holding her, jumped up.
The thousand-hand centipede roared past, catching Su Jie and immediately soaring high into the sky.
Behind them, Zou Minzun and Gongyang Ji ascended, unwilling to let Su Jie escape like this.
Su Jie also saw that the several sixth-grade fierce ghosts were gradually recovering, their stiff bodies slowly moving. He knew a decision had to be made now.
“Xiao Qian!”
Su Jie patted the thousand-hand centipede he was riding. Understanding Su Jie’s intent, the thousand-hand centipede roared towards the sky, its huge body bursting apart, turning into countless tiny centipedes.
Swarm after swarm of tiny centipedes congealed into insect blankets, wrapping around Su Jie, the Ghost Bride, Xiao Fengyuan, Ning Xinyue, and Qi Shijian. Among the cover of hundreds more insect blankets, they scattered in every direction.
“We’ll regroup at West Ridge Mountain.”
As he performed this move, Su Jie transmitted this message through Divine Sense into the ears of Ning Xinyue and Xiao Fengyuan.
Zou Minzun and Gongyang Ji were stunned. They tried hard to find Su Jie’s real body, but without the Primordial Spirit Divine Sense, and before they could sense the breath of Su Jie and his group, the thousand-hand centipede had already scattered everywhere.
Zou Minzun attacked all the insect blankets he could see in a fury, but to no avail, there were simply too many to be extinguished.
The remaining insect blankets had already vanished from sight, leaving no trace.
