Chapter 512: Summoning Ancestors with My Life! |
Ju Ling's expression shifted slightly as she detected a hint of threat emanating from Yuge. Since her Cocoon Evolution, she had never felt this level of danger from an opponent.
Without wasting any time, she fired another shot, sending the Bullet silently towards Ghost Master Yuge.
However, what Ju Ling had imagined didn't come to pass. In an instant, Yuge's body was enveloped in over a hundred layers of defense buffs. Despite the power of Ju Ling's Bullet, it couldn't penetrate through a hundred layers of buffs.
At that moment, Ghost Master Yuge's aura changed. His strength seemed to have broken through the limitations of Small Galaxy-level power.
Ju Ling frowned. What was happening? She had been sure that she had seen his full strength just moments ago, but now, his power had suddenly surged to an exaggerated extent, even more so than her Cocoon Evolution. This was clearly unnatural.
Strangely, Ghost Master Yuge didn't launch an attack on Ju Ling but instead closed his eyes, appearing devout and muttering something.
Ju Ling didn't give him a chance to react and immediately fired three Bullets at him. Not only Ju Ling but also Tanya fired some Bullets at him. Remarkably, Tanya had attached her teleportation ability to her Bullets, and in the blink of an eye, a Bullet appeared right on Ghost Master Yuge's forehead.
Crack, crack!
Accompanied by the sound of shattering, the layers of buffs on Ghost Master Yuge's body began to decrease one by one. It seemed that he was unable to continue releasing his defensive buffs, and the attacks from the two women intensified.
Ju Ling steadied herself and looked over, only to see Ghost Master Yuge. He had transformed from a youthful appearance to an even older one, and his face was slowly withering. With a tone filled with hatred, he shouted, "With my life, I summon the ancient ancestors! Humans, you're finished, hahaha!"
Pop!
With a light sound, Ghost Master Yuge exploded on his own, leaving no trace behind.
Ju Ling couldn't comprehend what had just happened, but the atmosphere had changed. Tanya and Yun Ru appeared beside her, and their gazes were fixed on the spot where Yuge had died. There, an unfamiliar figure had appeared at some point, but this figure didn't look like a living person!
Pale skin with numerous spots, vacant and lifeless eyes devoid of focus, and most shocking of all, half of his head was missing!
It was more like a corpse!
Su Chen was the first to realize that it was a Ghost Clan corpse. He had also heard Ghost Master Yuge's final words, which made him suspect that Yuge had disturbed his ancestors' resting place.
"Let's probe a bit," Ju Ling said.
Tanya nodded slightly. Her figure flashed, appearing not far from the Ghost Clan ancestor. She fired two shots, but it seemed as if she had fired only one. In reality, the second Bullet closely followed the first—a skill only Tanya could pull off.
Ding, ding!
Both Bullets struck the Ghost Clan ancestor's head, but they had no effect. However, Tanya's kick seemed to have some impact.
The Ghost Clan ancestor's body was knocked down, but just as he tried to grab Tanya, she teleported to another location. In the spot where she had been, a sudden explosion occurred, as if the area had been squeezed into nothingness.
What kind of ability was this?
The three women couldn't sense any special ability being used by the Ghost Clan ancestor. It seemed that he had accomplished this solely with his power. With just one action, they realized that he was definitely a Small Galaxy or higher-level expert. As for the specific level within Small Galaxy, they weren't sure.
The Ghost Clan ancestor tilted his head slightly, seemingly puzzled as to why he hadn't killed the woman who had been darting around in front of him.
No matter; he believed that this woman would eventually die at his hands.
Swish!
The Ghost Clan ancestor suddenly disappeared from his original spot, and only Ju Ling barely saw his figure. She urgently shouted, "Tanya, above!"
Tanya remained calm. Upon hearing Ju Ling's voice, she didn't immediately evade but fired two shots upwards. Then, she kicked with her right leg.
Clang!
The Bullets hit the Ghost Clan ancestor but had no effect. However, Tanya's kick seemed to make a difference.
The Ghost Clan ancestor's body was pushed downward, and just as he attempted to grab Tanya, she teleported behind him. Her gunstock was aimed at the back of his head.
The battle between the two was so fast that it was almost impossible to see with the naked eye. One relied on pure speed, while the other used continuous teleportation.
However, Ju Ling could see it clearly. Tanya was gradually falling behind; after all, when it came to overall strength, Tanya still lagged behind the Ghost Clan ancestor by a considerable margin.
Ju Ling floated in mid-air, raising her Sniper Rifle. She concentrated her spiritual power intensely, as she was about to condense all her power into a single Bullet to completely obliterate the Ghost Clan ancestor.
In terms of attack power, Ju Ling was undoubtedly the most formidable. Her Bullet was something that even other Super Soldiers dared not face.
"Yun Ru, cover me," she said.
Yun Ru appeared beside Ju Ling, wielding her massive Earthbreaker, ready to strike. She knew that the outcome of this battle would depend on the result of Ju Ling's shot.
Observing this scene, Su Chen stroked his chin. Ghost Clan ancestor had already displayed such incredible power. Ju Ling was feeling the pressure, even with her abilities.
"As a Commander, even if I can't take action directly, providing assistance should be possible."
Su Chen decisively activated the Superweapon Oceanic Needle. In an instant, everyone in Base City saw a beam of light shooting up into the sky from the towering spire in the base, and it vanished in the blink of an eye.
Ghost Clan ancestor had been trying to crush Tanya, but her skills in escaping danger were among the best. Su Chen had given her the teleportation ability, allowing her to gain the upper hand. Nevertheless, defeating the Ghost Clan ancestor, a Small Galaxy-level expert, was almost impossible.
Gradually, he seemed to sense Ju Ling's threat to him. He abandoned his pursuit of Tanya and flew towards Ju Ling.
