The Final Battle

The Final Battle

Click.

The door swung open.

The Door-Breaking Wraith no longer had the strength to kick the door.

"Stop!"

A "Still" character appeared on its body. Su Huijin was the first to attack the great wraith.

Taking advantage of the pause Immobilization Technique had forced upon the great wraith, Wu Xian and the others finally got a good look at its current state.

Half of its skull and the left side of its body were reduced to bones still flecked with scraps of flesh. Its right side was covered in countless ragged wounds, too.

"Here, use this!"

Ordinary evil spirits would have been cowed by the Door-Breaking Wraith long ago, but Fu He was only a zombie, and she obeyed Wen Chao's commands without question.

Members of the blessed couldn't lend their weapons to one another, but Wu Xian had received information about the Yajiao Spear, which meant he now had permission to use it.

Wu Xian hesitated.

Fu He and the Door-Breaking Wraith were still locked in a brawl.

Crack!

The foreign Precious Blade, worn down by repeated clashes, finally gave out and snapped. Shi Ji's left arm cracked, too, and he was sent flying into the wall. A large gash split open on his forehead.

The things he'd done to raise corpses seemed horrifyingly inhuman to everyone else.

But he himself wasn't nearly as mad as everyone thought.

Wu Xian and Fu He worked together, rapidly wearing down the Door-Breaking Wraith.

Wen Chao frowned.

But he couldn't do the same with Shi Ji's Boy's Urine An Gang.

It was a Lightning Talisman!

It imbued an item with power, granting it the power of lightning.

The sight was horrifying, but she'd lost the ability to fight.

Shi Ji raised his blade to block.

This was the very spear He Qiong had used. It was silver from end to end, with a sharp spearhead adorned by a tuft of white tassels and a dragon engraved along its shaft.

Her Borrow and Return blessing let her retrieve Magic Treasures and other items she'd left elsewhere whenever she wanted, so she could stash things that were inconvenient to carry in a safe place ahead of time.

But the Door-Breaking Wraith refused to let Wu Xian go. Its one remaining hand swung with overwhelming force toward his head.

Wu Xian took a closer look and saw that the Door-Breaking Wraith was on the verge of collapse. Almost none of its flesh remained intact; sinewy muscles hung exposed, and he could see bone and organs through more than a dozen openings.

Clatter, clatter...

So the Su Sisters were the source of his confidence.

"Lao Fu won't last much longer. Don't just stand there watching!"

Veins bulged on Wen Chao's forehead as he clenched his fists.

The Ghost Mother had clearly left it badly injured.

Everything he'd done afterward had been to soothe his own feelings, and to carry out an experiment in Corpse Refining.

Without the Su Sisters' support, he was just an ordinary man.

The Lightning Talisman was the last one she had. She was going all out. She couldn't just wait for the others to act like before. If they couldn't kill the Door-Breaking Wraith this time, they'd all die.

He warily asked Su Huijin, "Why are you giving it to me?"

"Get out of the way, you worthless thing!"

"Roar!"

He could feel the zombie growing weaker.

The Yajiao Spear.

The only one standing before the great wraith now was Wu Xian, holding the Yajiao Spear.

Please consider following along daily. If you're enjoying this book, please keep up with the updates—it really means a lot to the author.

The balance between Wu Xian, Fu He, and the great wraith was broken at that very moment.

Su Huijin said anxiously, "Is now really the time to ask that? If I don't give it to you, am I supposed to fight the great wraith with this thing?"

Starting a new book was hard, and a new mystery novel was even harder. Please don't leave it unread for too long. Waaaah!

Even if it meant crossing ethical lines a little, Wen Chao didn't care.

The Door-Breaking Wraith's relentless attacks finally overwhelmed Fu He's body. It tore off her head with one hand, and her stiffened body bounced across the floor. Her mouth, lined with sharp teeth, continued to open and close slowly.

It had come for Wu Xian and the others so it could kill them and repair its body, which was on the verge of collapse.

A moment later, Shi Ji shuddered and emptied his bladder.

He received information about the item.

It was none other than the zombie old woman under Wen Chao's control!

Wen Chao watched it all with a calm expression.

A zombie's body was far less nimble than a human's, but much stronger. For a time, the Door-Breaking Wraith was actually forced to retreat.

After using Corpse Refining Technique to bring his wife back, he'd seen her stand again, her eyes cold and bloodthirsty. He'd known then that this thing was no longer his wife.

Wu Xian grimaced. What else could he do besides watch? He'd lost his weapon, and using True Fire Incantation might injure Fu He.

But the wraith stubbornly kept coming toward Wu Xian.

After seeing this, Wu Xian didn't dare get close, either.

Wu Xian suddenly understood why He Qiong had been so confident before—and why she'd been so helpless when she died.

Then Su Huijin pressed a bead onto the spear. A flash of golden lightning raced along its length.

He'd completed the Corpse Refining. It was time to end everything. Every second his wife spent as a zombie desecrated the beautiful memories Wen Chao had once shared with her.

Her sharp claws raked at it again and again, while her mouth, lined with four fangs, tore at the back of the Door-Breaking Wraith's neck.

The heart-pounding fight was accompanied by the sound of urine filling a pouch, making the scene a little less serious.

This large cold weapon really wasn't something a woman could wield with ease.

So he aimed for wounds that were already there—in the eyes, throat, and chest. The filth and poison seeped in, tormenting the great wraith, but it couldn't strike back.

Yajiao Spear: A silver dragon spear, unmatched from sea to sky.

As long as it was for the experiment.

He'd thought he didn't care.

As the two of them fought, Wu Xian's Copper Coin Sword had once again shortened into a Short Sword, weakening the great wraith with every passing second.

She shoved the spear into Wu Xian's hands. The moment he touched it, he froze.

Shi Ji, his head split open, managed to push himself upright against the wall. While Su Huijin and Wen Chao watched in confusion, he pulled out a Skin Bag, turned toward the corner, and began to pee.

Fortunately, the thing was long enough. Wu Xian stayed crouched behind Fu He, waiting for his chance to thrust at the Door-Breaking Wraith again and again. Each strike from the sharp silver spear pierced the great wraith's defenses, and the lightning coursing through it made the wraith's movements sluggish.

After thinking for a moment, Wu Xian thrust the Copper Coin Sword into the Door-Breaking Wraith's open abdomen. The blade's segments activated one by one as the entire sword sank little by little into the great wraith's belly, continuing to damage it.

Without the zombie.

The two of them jabbed at it with the Copper Coin Sword and Boy's Urine An Gang, but the great wraith's body was even tougher than Yu Yinghua's. The Boy's Urine An Gang was effective enough, but Wu Xian's Copper Coin Sword couldn't pierce its defenses at all.

No matter the situation, Shi Ji was always the first to be attacked when he played dirty.

That was true.

The Door-Breaking Wraith shoved Fu He aside with its one remaining hand and roared at her.

With an angry roar from the Door-Breaking Wraith, Immobilization Technique finally wore off. The furious wraith swung at Shi Ji.

Just then, a figure pounced onto the Door-Breaking Wraith.

Su Huijin waved her hand, and a silver spear appeared in it.

But even Wu Xian found it quite difficult to use.

Wu Xian grinned.

He threw the Yajiao Spear to the ground.

But Wu Xian and the others were watching him, too!

The chance to attack while the Door-Breaking Wraith was immobilized was precious. Wu Xian and Shi Ji charged from either side.

It came from Zhao Yun of the Three Kingdoms.

Zhao Yun wielded a spear called the Yajiao Spear, unmatched from sea to sky.
