Regarding the levels of ghosts, Zhou Zhen once told me that they are generally divided into Ghost Soldier, Ghost General, and then Ghost Commander. Above that is a level that stands at the phrase: "This centipede is dead."
"What does 'this centipede is dead' mean?" Anfu's words made me furrow my brows slightly, but when I asked him, he remained silent.
Zhou Zhen frowned slightly, his gaze scrutinizing the Giant Centipede, and suddenly exclaimed, "I understand now. Anfu means that this centipede is actually dead, which is why it can consume those Ghost Commander spirits."
In the survival of the fittest, powerful ghosts can devour weaker ones. If the Giant Centipede can consume Spirit Entities at the Ghost Commander level, then doesn't that imply that this Giant Centipede is even higher in rank than a Ghost Commander?
It might have even reached the level of a Ghost King.
Instantly, my expression turned extremely grim as I glanced at Gu Chen, a flicker of concern flashing through my mind.
I had witnessed the power of a Ghost King before. Back then, even with Mao Shiba wielding a Purple Thunder Evil Sword Talisman, he was still no match for that Ghost King.
This clearly illustrated how terrifying an existence at the Ghost King level could be. And now, with Gu Chen injured and facing such a horrifying entity, it was indeed dangerous.
Seeing this, Gu Chen couldn't help but snort coldly and said, "I didn't expect you to be a dead centipede spirit that still retains its soul and can absorb other ghost souls. You've become quite powerful; I underestimated you."
"Uncle Zhou, do you think Master’s injury yesterday could be related to this centipede?" After hearing Gu Chen's words, I furrowed my brows and looked at Zhou Zhen.
Zhou Zhen nodded and replied, "It's possible. And what about General Li? Where has he gone?"
As he spoke, our gazes all turned towards Anfu.
To our gaze, Anfu seemed indifferent, but still replied, "General Li's ghost has been sealed in the tomb by my grandfather last night. He can't come out."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhen and I nodded. Although we didn't know what Gu Chen had done in the tomb last night, we could imagine that if Gu Chen wanted to enter the tomb, he would first have to get past General Li.
However, after overcoming General Li, encountering this Giant Centipede was undoubtedly a tough battle.
And what lay before us was no different.
I understood nothing at all. As for the technique I had just learned, it was completely useless in this situation. Even Zhou Zhen and Anfu, though worried, were unable to help.
In an instant, Gu Chen was locked in combat with the Giant Centipede's spirit. He continuously unleashed runes from his hands, but they were easily dispelled by the Giant Centipede.
Finally, Gu Chen's expression darkened. With a cold snort, he reached out and produced a Blue Rune.
What puzzled us was that there were no words or incantations on that Blue Rune—just a piece of talisman paper.
But then we saw Gu Chen retreating while chanting a spell: "One paper Yellow Talisman ignites Vermilion; if the gods do not retreat, they shall be slain."
As his voice fell, he swiftly brought his finger to his mouth and bit down on the tip. Then, with lightning speed, he traced an enigmatic character on the blue talisman with his finger. Flicking his finger, he sent it directly toward the terrifying Giant Centipede.
With a loud boom:
Under our watchful eyes, that Blue Rune shot from Gu Chen's hand like an arrow released from a bow, crashing violently into the body of the Giant Centipede.
Suddenly, it was blasted away, landing on the ground. This time, its body became incredibly ethereal, weak and struggling in place, emitting a hissing sound that resembled a painful wail.
A red glint flashed in Professor Wang's eyes, and killing intent surged within him. Without hesitation, he opened his mouth and directly swallowed the severely injured Giant Centipede.
In the next moment, his figure bizarrely vanished from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Gu Chen, his gaze fierce as he reached out a hand toward him.
I, Anfu, and Zhou Zhen were instantly taken aback in shock.
But at that moment, the Paper Figure that had long since collapsed on the ground behind us strangely floated up, drifting directly in front of us before transforming into a woman with a face like a peach blossom and a demeanor as gentle as jade.
