The Ascension of Contracted Spirits
Chapter 123 - 114: Ancient Succubus·Aegifura (two in one 6000 words)_4
With an effortless flick, Ye Hanjun’s whip struck the Decaying Dog, who was growling softly yet dared not attack or flee of its own accord.
Only a snap was heard; the Decaying Dog appeared to be unharmed, but its eyes, rolled-back and white, rapidly filled with purple.
As its pupils reflected two counterclockwise-spinning purple Magatama, the Decaying Dog ceased its snarling at Ye Hanjun and instead set its eyes upon a man and two beasts nearby.
"Kill them."
Ye Hanjun’s sinister laughter grew even louder.
"Woof!"
In an instant, the Decaying Dog lunged, catching the unsuspecting Ghost Hunt off guard, biting off his head in one swift bite.
"Waaakk!"
With its master killed, the Chimney Frog, paralyzed with fear, was vomiting blood while wildly attacking the Decaying Dog’s nose with its tongue.
Under normal circumstances, the Decaying Dog would avoid such a dire attack.
But now, it didn’t care in the slightest. It pounced and bit the Chimney Frog, which bit back in response, tearing into flesh with its claws, using a reckless fighting style.
"Rotten Tooth! Rotten Tooth!"
"Wake up! Wake up, Rotten Tooth!"
Ghost Tooth, his face half-exposed, had not smiled since they entered the cave.
He took two steps forward, hoping to stop the Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits.
When he realized his attempts were useless, his horror-filled face revealed a never-before-seen panic.
"Sorry..."
"To kill me, you guys—are not worthy!"
The corner of Ye Hanjun’s mouth curled up with brutal delight.
He flapped his wings and flew forward, his dark claws aimed straight towards Ghost Tooth’s neck.
Ghost Tooth tried to dodge but found his reflexes couldn’t keep up with his adversary. He hastily crushed the Protective Talisman on his waist.
As a white energy shield appeared in front of him, he tried to catch his breath and regulate his breathing.
However, Ye Hanjun’s casual scratch left visible traces on the shield. Witnessing this, Ghost Tooth’s face filled with terror, and he desperately tried to retreat.
"The positions of hunter and prey have long been reversed... This is my domain; where do you think you’re escaping to?"
The deep darkness wrapped around Ghost Tooth’s legs once more.
The Ability that, while inflicting no direct harm, acted as a hindrance, his Protective Talisman couldn’t defend against.
"Rip!"
"Rip!"
Ye Hanjun’s claws, over and over.
With thirteen continuous strikes, the Protective Talisman, which could have withstood the Perfect Rainbow Light, shattered into pieces.
"You are an officer, why aren’t you using the Exciting Burn..."
"Oh... Right... You must have used it when killing Wu Chong..."
"The Decaying Dog doesn’t listen to you anymore; other than forcibly recalling it, you don’t have any other mediums to enhance it, right..."
Ye Hanjun laughed aloud, seizing Ghost Tooth’s face in one hand, and thrust his sharp claws into his skull.
"Speak! Why am I also a target of your hunt? Who has marked me?"
The seven-foot-tall burly man was lifted off the ground by the six-foot-tall Ye Hanjun, legs dangling in the air.
Ghost Tooth struggled fiercely, his mask crumbling to reveal a scarred villainous face underneath, constant cold sweat making his face even paler.
"I..."
"All I know is..."
"Too slow! Too slow! Your answer is too slow!!"
"Bang!"
With a thrust of his dark claws, he pierced Ghost Tooth’s skull.
Ye Hanjun, his face twisted, flung away Ghost Tooth’s corpse like a mad beast and turned towards the Decaying Dog, lunging on him.
At this time, by relying on its higher rank and reckless fighting style, the Decaying Dog had already killed the Chimney Frog.
However, the death of its master provoked a huge pain in its soul, breaking the Enchantment effect of the Whip of Conquest.
Before it could react, Ye Hanjun made his move. With another claw, he cut through the Decaying Dog’s skull as if it were tofu, directly snatching a still-glowing Corpse Crystal.
"Thud..."
The Decaying Dog, blood flowing from all its orifices, let out a crazed screech, but it was as if someone hit the pause button.
With its massive body powerless and collapsed on the ground, devoid of the ability to even twitch, it was completely devoid of life.
"Huff..."
The purple Magatama faded from his eyes.
The Demon Horns on his head, the Demon Wings on his back, and the Demon tail, it all appeared colorless and aged, instantaneously crumbling from black to grey, vanishing into dust from visible sight.
"Cough... Cough, cough, cough!"
Ye Hanjun, his eyes regained clarity; upon waking, he immediately threw back his head and spewed a mouthful of blood.
After his breathing smoothed a bit, he clutched his chest, staring at the four corpses on the ground; his pale face was exceptionally unwell.
"Damn it..."
"Even with the minimal ’Enchantment’ and dual recovery from the Brass Ginseng and the Healing Orb... this Aegifura’s bloodline... is truly hard to borrow..."
Seemingly sensing something, Ye Hanjun stopped speaking in the Language of the Demons, he slightly turned his head.
He saw Wang Xinfei, Li Jingming, and even his Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits, Huazhu.
The fear in their eyes as they looked at him seemed to penetrate their souls and permeated every inch of their flesh and blood.
A battle of one or two minutes had changed their perception once again.
"My lord, are you alright?"
Huazhu was the first to come back to his senses and immediately manipulated the sand to come closer, trying to use its pincers to provide some support to his swaying body.
