Chapter 148 - Life-taking
The dazzling lightning rolled inside Ji Hao’s spiritual space, which was Ji Hao’s own personal territory.
Ku Mu had carelessly seen Ji Hao as an ordinary Southern Wasteland Junior Magus, and had driven his own soul into jumping inside Ji Hao’s spiritual space without any protection, therefore, his spiritual silhouette instantly shattered after being struck by the lightning bolt.
Countless amount of white mist rose high into the air while howls of Ku Mu came from the mist. A slight spell-incanting sound came from all directions, followed by which, wisps of white mist quickly gathered together - Ku Mu was trying his best to recover his spiritual silhouette, and soon, a six-zhang tall silhouette loomingly appeared again.
Inside the room, beside the bed, Ku Mu’s real body suddenly quivered, then his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth started bleeding. Without making any noise, blood gushed out of Ku Mu’s eyes, ears, nose, and month in streams, while his body slightly quivered, and his face twitched ceaselessly, while showing an alarmed and panicked expression.
Man Man accidentally turned her head around and abruptly saw Ku Mu’s face, becoming instantly startled and screamed out; in the next moment, she leaped up from the ground, grabbed a chair made from shovel wood and swung it high, then smashed it onto Ku Mu’s head.
Along with a loud bang, the chair, which was harder than steel, shattered into ashes against Ku Mu’s head. Ku Mu’s scalp was broken, baring his glowing white, jade-like skull. More astonishing was that his skull seemed to be embossed with complicated and fine patterns; at first glance, countless lotus seemed to been attached on his skull.
Poor Ku Mu, his spiritual silhouette was shattered by Ji Hao’s lightning bolts inside Ji Hao’s spiritual space, and his physical body was just smashed by Man Man on the head. His body was solid as steel, which even shattered that chair made of shovel wood, but with Man Man’s strength, Ku Mu was still badly struck; he couldn’t help but open his mouth and spew a few mouthfuls of light gold blood out.
“Wow, this guy’s blood is gold!” yelled Man Man. Man Man had a simple mind, and seeing Ku Mu’s spiritual blood, Man Man was instantly attracted, instantly forgetting about all the others. She curiously put her face near Ku Mu, who had fallen onto the ground, and closely observed his blood.
“Hm, how dare you pull your little trick in front of me?!” said Si Wen Ming harshly in a low voice. He then took out a black, triangle-shaped, baby-palm sized jade piece, and pressed it hard between Ku Mu’s eyebrows.
Along with a popping sound, the half-an-inch-thick jade piece instantly embedded into Ku Mu’s skin, just like a knife cutting into fruit; after that, the black jade piece began to glow. The dark glow quickly spread towards all directions along Ku Mu’s skin, while the countless lotus patterns on Ku Mu’s skull suddenly lit up, and released a bright white light, trying to resist the black glow.
The black glow and the white light clashed against each other intensely, and Ku Mu’s body was shaking violently, while his arms and legs madly pushed and kicked the floor, letting out muffled booms. Si Wen Ming looked at Ku Mu, and seemed slightly surprised, then said, “Hmm? Not bad. Man Man, quiet him down!”
Man Man happily let out a shout, then threw a good punch on Ku Mu’s temple.
Followed by another boom, Ku Mu’s body was sent flying away parallel to the floor, and struck against the wall. Large amounts of spell symbols lit up on the metal cast wall; Ku Mu’s head hit on the metal wall and caused a bucket-sized pit. The wall instanly rebounded back, and this continued for some time. Ku Mu’s body rebounded on the wall for tens of times, before finally stopping while swirling on the metal floor.
Ku Mu suddenly opened his eyes, his two pupils had turned into two white lotuses; he then yelled with his teeth gnashing, “You...why...we have never met before, why you do such things to me?!”
Ji Hao opened his eyes, got up from the bed and stared at Ku Mu coldly, then said, “The three idiots who attempted to rob me were your people? Who the hell are you? What were you doing in the Southern Wasteland?”
Along with a sizzling sound, the black jade piece that Si Wen Ming pressed into Ku Mu’s forehead was flashing fast, and the black glow had already invaded Ku Mu’s corroded skull, turning more than half of his skull black. Ku Mu’s body twitched violently, but he had been staring at Ji Hao with a viscious smile on his face.
Just now, Ku Mu perceived that his physical body was badly harmed, so he couldn’t wait until his spiritual silhouette had fully recovered, and just drew it forcibly back from Ji Hao’s spiritual space with a secret magic.
