“Dead, dead?”
Wan Hao, who was nearby, had his pupils contract!
He had considered that the letter reaching a specific person might suddenly trigger a powerful Supernatural Power to suppress the Ghost Revival, or that it might be useless, merely a way for someone to send a letter to that person out of concern that some situation might be leaked via the Post Office.
But he never expected that the moment the letter was held, a change occurred that Wan Hao couldn't comprehend, a change he couldn't even detect!
As soon as the letter was held, Xia Xia on the ground directly underwent Ghost Revival!
Xia Xia's body stiffened!
Her entire body rapidly changed; her skin turned bluish-black, her hands cracked, and dark red, foul-smelling Blood flowed out. The Blood was very viscous, emitting the odor of deeply decomposed corpses.
Her eyes were dim and lifeless, filled with a hollow Deathly silence. In just a few seconds, her body became cold and stiff!
“Kaka!”
Xia Xia’s fingers moved, and at the same time, her fingers made a cracking sound, like a machine that hadn't been oiled for a long time starting up, appearing very stiff!
Five streaks of red light flashed, and Wan Hao felt a sharp pain on the back of his hand!
This startled the contemplative Wan Hao, and upon realizing what happened, he quickly pulled back his distance!
“The Ghost Revival is complete; I was already attacked just now!”
Wan Hao looked at the five streaks of Blood on the Golden Gloves; these were left by Xia Xia’s Ghost Armor. Her hands were flowing with Scarlet, viscous Blood, left during the recent contact.
Although the Gold provided insulation, he hadn't suffered any Supernatural damage, but the Golden Gloves weren't thick, so the immense force of the Ghost Armor still caused Wan Hao pain.
“Damn it, I’m inexperienced. I stayed nearby even after the Ghost Revival. Luckily, it grabbed my hand; if it had choked my neck, I’d be dead.”
Wan Hao looked at Xia Xia’s Ghost Armor with lingering fear. The Ghost Armor was now over ten centimeters long; if that had pierced his neck, death would have been certain!
This was without even considering the Supernatural Power attached to it. Just the long nails and the rotten Blood clinging to them could likely take Wan Hao’s life.
If the Supernatural Power was attached...
While he was complaining about his carelessness, Xia Xia on the ground had already gotten up. Xia Xia’s knees had been shattered in the car crash and she should have been unable to stand.
But now, under the influence of some Supernatural Power, the deceased Xia Xia actually stood up directly and began walking toward Wan Hao step by step. Seeing this, Wan Hao retreated another distance.
He didn't know the Killing Rule of the Ghost Armor, but in this situation, not getting close to the Malevolent Ghost was the correct course of action!
Xia Xia’s movements were slow, like a stiff machine, pausing with every step, making it impossible for her to catch up to Wan Hao.
She soon realized this and stopped.
“What is she trying to do? Give up attacking me? Or did something I did violate her Killing Rule?”
“Distance, or something else?”
Wan Hao wasn't sure. He knew too little about the Ghost Armor. Although he had guesses, guesses weren't facts, and Wan Hao dared not test anything. As a novice, laying low was the way to go!
Just as Wan Hao thought the Ghost Armor wouldn't attack him, he saw Xia Xia raise one hand!
Her hand bore long Ghost Armor, which was incredibly Scarlet, giving off a chilling and Eerie feeling. As Xia Xia raised her hand, Wan Hao’s pupils contracted!
“She’s going to launch an attack!”
An inexplicable palpitation arose in Wan Hao’s heart; he felt locked in place, completely unable to move!
Xia Xia clenched her five fingers as if grasping something!
“The previous attack on me used the Ghost Armor to scratch me, but why is she raising her hand from this distance? Is this also a form of attack?”
Unable to move, coupled with the terrifying palpitation, Wan Hao’s adrenaline surged, and his mind raced.
“I can’t just wait here; if her hand swings down, it must be some terrifying attack!”
The Spiritual Power of Ghost Hand was mobilized by Wan Hao, and the Supernatural Power surged up his forearm, instantly breaking the Supernatural Power that was restraining him, allowing Wan Hao to move again!
But the feeling of palpitation hadn't disappeared!
On the contrary, that sense of dread grew stronger, as if some terrifying attack was about to descend upon him the next second!
Wan Hao immediately rolled to the side!
Simultaneously!
The hand Xia Xia had raised swung down terrifyingly!
As the Scarlet Ghost Armor moved, five visual streaks of red light were generated, and the spot where Wan Hao had been standing suddenly looked as if it had been plowed by something!
Five deep ravines appeared on the spot! The flagstones on the Ground shattered!
Seeing this, Wan Hao’s heart tightened. If that strike had landed on him, he probably would have been dismembered into several pieces!
“If she can’t reach me up close, she has a long-range attack!”
“But how far is the limit for this distance?”
From the two attacks, Wan Hao had discerned the Ghost Armor’s method of killing: touching it meant death, grazing it meant injury!
Not to mention the lethal Supernatural Power contained within!
But discerning the method of killing didn't mean knowing the Killing Rule...
However, the rule didn't matter now; this Malevolent Ghost had clearly targeted Wan Hao!
Not daring to be careless, Wan Hao took off the Golden Gloves, revealing the withered, dark-red Ghost Hand.
“I don’t have any long-range attack methods. To suppress it, I must get close, but during the approach, I will definitely be attacked.”
Just then, Xia Xia raised a hand again. The Scarlet Ghost Armor clenched again, and Wan Hao was once more restricted from moving!
“Damn it! Isn't this just being a bully? It can attack at range and up close, and it even has built-in control...”
Without hesitation, Wan Hao once again activated the Spiritual Power of Ghost Hand. The two Supernatural Powers contended against each other, canceling out the restraint on Wan Hao.
But the Ghost Armor’s attack hadn't stopped!
Because it still had the downward swing, which was the real attack!
Wan Hao immediately left his original position, and the Ghost Armor’s attack followed, creating deep ravines in the Ground once more!
Wan Hao looked at his forearm. Using the Supernatural Power twice had already made the Ghost Hand restless; the area on his forearm eroded by the Ghost Hand had expanded!
“Damn it! Using my Supernatural Power twice hasn't had much effect. Ghosts have no limits, but I do. Dragging this out will only lead to my own Ghost Revival...”
Wan Hao was now in a dilemma: if he moved closer, he feared not having enough time to react and thus failing to dodge the Ghost Armor’s attack.
If he moved away, he didn't know the attack range of the Ghost Armor. What if there was no range limit?
If that were the case, he would not only lose the chance to Apprehend the Malevolent Ghost but would also be continuously attacked, eventually leading to his own Ghost Revival through repeated use of his Supernatural Power!
“Hesitation leads to defeat...”
It seemed Wan Hao had the choice to retreat or Apprehend, but in reality, he couldn't afford *not* to Apprehend!
Wan Hao spread open the Corpse Bag and placed it in front of him. The Corpse Bag was made of Gold and could isolate Supernatural Power, but thinking of the stone Ground split open by the Ghost Armor made him hesitate.
It could isolate Supernatural Power, yes, but it couldn't block physical attacks!
This Ghost Armor looked like it dealt mixed damage, and Wan Hao was afraid the Corpse Bag wouldn't work, worried that the force capable of splitting the Ground might affect him.
While hesitating, Xia Xia raised her hand again. This time, it wasn't just one hand, but both hands!
