Xuan Qianyu stopped attacking when she saw this. She drove the God-Slaying Spear into the ground and formed hand seals with both hands. A powerful divine force surged from within her, transforming into rings of azure light that spread outward. Wherever the rings reached, the Underworld ghosts vanished one after another, like snow beneath the blazing sun.
"Parlor tricks." Xuan Qianyu said contemptuously.
Anubis remained unmoved and continued chanting. As the incantation continued, the ghosts dispersed by the rings gathered together once more, forming a gigantic spectral wolf. The spectral wolf opened its bloody maw, roared at Xuan Qianyu, and then lunged at her.
