Chapter 676: Chapter 357: Three Kinds of Shadow Ghosts_3

This time, Mu You did not evade, but reached into his pocket and touched the pocket watch, feeling the approach of the enemy’s attack.

Password, he felt a shadow flash by his side. Just as the attack was about to reach him, Mu You pressed the Pocket Watch in advance.

Time cycled, and this time, Mu You took out the Shadow Ghost Box and quietly hid it on the other side, silently calculating the time in his mind.

At the instant when the opponent was about to attack, Mu You opened the Shadow Ghost Box.

"Roar!"

The enraged Shadow Ghost surged out instantly, wreathed in dark aura, its figure growing to six or seven meters high.

As it appeared, it struck down the approaching muscular man with a swipe of its claw, burying him in the ground.

Mu You hastily moved aside to avoid being possessed by the Shadow Ghost.

He found that the true form of the Shadow Ghost indeed felt different; the one before his eyes was noticeably bigger than the one he’d seen underwater, and it exuded a more chilling aura.

Mu You held the pocket watch tight in his hand, releasing the Shadow Ghost was risky because he had seen another ghost being controlled before. It meant that the enemy might have a method to control the Shadow Ghost’s movements. He wasn’t sure if the enemy could control only one Shadow Ghost or all of them.

If their opponent could control this one as well, then releasing it was like giving their enemy more help. Hence, Mu You had the Pocket Watch ready. If the Shadow Ghost showed signs of being controlled after being released, he would immediately rewind time.

Luckily, that did not happen.

Upon its appearance, the Shadow Ghost attacked the muscular man in the ground as if he were a sworn enemy, completely ignoring Mu You’s presence. It relentlessly hammered down its claws.

"Thud, thud ..."

With one blow after another, each strike of the Shadow Ghost caused the ground to tremble. By now, the muscular man was completely engulfed in dirt and stone. He was coughing up blood, his face twisted and deformed, entirely void of resistance.

"Roar!"

A roar echoed from behind.

Another Shadow Ghost finally arrived at the scene and lunged at the box-shadow ghost. The attacker sent the ghost crashing aside, the two of them tumbling together.

When the two Shadow Ghosts rose to their feet, their attention was instantly drawn to each other, much like when Kong encounters Godzilla. They roared at each other angrily and clashed violently, their sharp claws tearing at each other.

The scene was like an earthquake; the powerful winds blew and Mu You had to quickly distance himself from the battlefield.

On the other side, the muscular man crawled out from the dirt. His body was battered and bloody, and he looked significantly weaker. He looked at Mu You and the girl he was holding but didn’t dare to charge at them again. Instead, he suddenly ran towards the seashore.

But before he could get far, he collided with an ice wall that had just formed and was blown back.

A scythe blade suddenly swung at him as he dropped to the ground.

The muscular man swiftly dodged, barely missing the blade thanks to his high speed.

When he landed, standing in his path was a woman in a red robe, wielding a scythe. And behind him, Mu You had blocked his way. The two of them had him surrounded.

"It’s you...you guys... so it makes sense. No wonder..." the muscular man gasped.

The Ghost Captain was hard to recognize, but the image of the Red Sickle Girl was widely circulated on the forum. Upon seeing her, he understood a lot of things.

No wonder the man managed to evade his attacks earlier. Number 14 had ended up in the hands of the Ghost Captain, much to his miscalculation. He had unintentionally run into both of them, two of the few people he didn’t want to cross paths with at the moment, and got himself into a hopeless situation.

What to do next?

"Dong!"

Just as the muscular man was hastily formulating a strategy, a deafening bell rang in his ears.

The muscular man suddenly felt paralyzed. Ghost-like apparitions materialized around him, shrieking as they lunged at him from all directions, locking him in place.

In the distance, Lin Xue summoned the skeletal image of the Grim Reaper, although this time, only the ribcage and right arm appeared.

The next moment, the Grim Reaper swung its scythe at the muscular man.

The blade lightly cut through the muscular man.

But, contrary to their expectations, the blade didn’t carry a soul with it. The scythe was empty.

Lin Xue was taken aback and quickly withdrew the Grim Reaper’s image.

On the spot, the muscular man who had escaped from the knell of the bell was no longer moving. He fell straight down, motionless.

The two hurried over to check on him.

"Did he just die like that?" Lin Xue asked curiously. She had never seen a situation where the Reaper’s Scythe couldn’t hook out a soul.

"It seems like he escaped..."

Mu You shook his head and conjured an Illumination Technique in his hand.

As expected, under the light, there was no shadow beneath the corpse of the muscular man.
