Chapter 1655: Chapter 198 Giant Winged Ghost King
Ah Dai gradually calmed down. Encountering one of the three great rulers of the undead, the Giant Winged Ghost King, here heightened his vigilance. "I’ve only heard of you. You haven’t answered my question," he said. Halsfin blinked his single eye, seemingly in no hurry to make a move. "No one can limit me in the Death Mountain Range. Even the Evil Dragon Harbank won’t interfere with me. I’ve heard that many undead creatures ahead have been wiped out by you humans. I came specifically to see. You are indeed very strong. It’s rare for a human to cultivate to your level. You already possess god-like power."
Ah Dai sensed that the Halsfin before him seemed quite human-like and he spoke, "I’ve never seen a creature like you before. Are you really an undead creature?"
Halsfin laughed, the fangs in his mouth flashing a ghastly color. "Of course not. How can an undead creature be as powerful as I am? We, who guard the last three levels, actually all come from the Demon Realm. I was once a demon under Hades, the ruler of the Demon Realm. After arriving here with Lord Hades, I was killed by the Divine King. It was that guy Nazgul of the Evil Witch who protected my soul from extinction and resurrected me using the undead he summoned. Although I fall within the category of undead creatures, my abilities remain those of the terrifying demon Halsfin."
Hearing his words, Ah Dai’s heart sank at once. He understood that since the other party came from the Demon Realm, it was impossible for him to join his side. Now he could only fight him to the death. Faced with such a powerful demon, he had no confidence of victory. "So it seems that both you and the evil dragon were resurrected by the Immortal Evil Witch King Nazgul. Who is Nazgul?"
Halsfin snorted and said, "That guy was just a petty strategist under Lord Hades. If it wasn’t for him preserving my body, I wouldn’t even bother with him. If you get a chance, you should kill him in the future. Even in the Demon Realm, not many demons like that guy. I was originally handsome and elegant, but he pieced me together like this and dubbed me Giant Winged Ghost King—it’s just bullshit. It makes me angry when I think about it. That bastard, he didn’t dare do the same to Harbank. Clearly, it’s because I wasn’t as strong as him. Kid, you guys came to deal with the Bone Dragons, right? Those big bones united, and I’m afraid you can’t handle them. In the Death Mountain Range, aside from Harbank, even Nazgul fears them a bit. Going there would be sending yourselves to death. You might as well let me have your body; you like this, are much better than I am now." As he spoke, a faint circle of green light was released from his single eye.
Ah Dai felt a jolt in his heart. With the previous experience of battling the Undead Fairy Qian Qian, he knew the enemy before him was launching a spiritual attack on him.
The Divine Dragon Body Cover was extremely formidable. Though Halsfin launched a spiritual attack, most of it was still blocked. Ah Dai, emulating the style of the former Yajin elder, shouted, "Lin." His own spiritual power fluctuated fiercely, sending forth a faint white halo from the Sea of Consciousness, forcibly dissolving the remnants of Halsfin’s energy. Under the spiritual guidance, Halsfin, hovering in mid-air, quivered slightly. Taking this opportunity, Ah Dai gripped his sword with both hands and struck towards the top of his head. He knew that the moment an enemy’s spirit was wounded was when they were most vulnerable.
The enormous Sumeru Sword passed right through Halsfin’s body without a sound, hitting only an illusion. Ah Dai was startled, and suddenly felt a tremendous energy force from behind, blasting him away. Although protected by the Divine Dragon Body Cover and Giant Spirit Snake Armor, his meridians still suffered some shock. Quickly wielding the Sumeru Sword around his body, he drove back the pursuing Halsfin. Halsfin did not attempt to attack again; he continued to float in the air. "Kid, your spiritual power is strong, huh! It seems I really underestimated you. However, don’t forget my disgusting title—the Giant Winged Ghost King. I can transform into a spirit-like form at any time. It’s not that easy to strike my real body."
Three figures of blue, red, and green flew up from below; they were the other three Sword Saints, having noticed the situation above, quickly flying up to assist Ah Dai.
Halsfin showed no panic; he chuckled and said, "Three more coming to die. Hmm, not bad, since when did humans become so strong? Remember a millennium ago, there weren’t many with abilities like yours. But today, no Sky God will come to help you."
Ah Dai harmonized the True Qi within his body and said solemnly, "Be careful, you three seniors. He is Halsfin, one of the three great rulers of the undead, the Giant Winged Ghost King."
Without Ah Dai’s words, Yun Ying and the others also felt the powerful oppression emanating from Halsfin. The Clear Wind and Bright Moon Battle Aura, Fiery Phantom Battle Aura, and Green Lotus Battle Aura spread from the three of them, surrounding Halsfin in the center along with Ah Dai’s Engendering Battle Aura.
Halsfin glanced at the four of them and said, "No need to be so tense. I’m not going to run. To be honest, I’ve long been sick of the Demon Realm. I really want to stroll around the human world. Hey kid, how about we bargain a little?"
