"Run! We must escape! Hide so we cannot be found!"
Triton had completely lost the courage to face Wu Liang now; as a Fierce Ghost, it dared not think of anything other than escape!
If this situation happened at any other time, it would seem absurd to it, but at this moment, it felt this was the only thing it could do.
Resist? How can I resist when I can't even discern the level of strength this boy possesses?
"Trying to run after destroying the city? Haven't many secondary sources completely turned into nourishment for the Golden City? If you are exorcised in a short time, their souls can still be freed, right?"
Just as Triton was quickly contemplating how to leave the battlefield, Wu Liang's sarcastic voice suddenly sounded from behind it.
Frightened, it spun around sharply, only to meet Wu Liang's pair of eyes that had turned into vertical pupils.
When did this guy get so close?!
Wasn't he just strolling along slowly?
More crucially—how does this boy know the relationship between secondary sources and the nourishment of Golden City so well!?
"Roar!"
At this point, there's no time for Triton to understand; it could only roar furiously before drawing a sea snail shell from its waist and stabbing towards Wu Liang's eyes.
This sea snail shell isn't merely a tool for summoning Soul Shock Waves; its hardness is formidable enough to be used as a melee weapon.
However, when the sharp point of the sea snail shell pierced Wu Liang's eyes, something happened that utterly dashed Triton's hopes.
Clang—
The sound of metal clashing crisply radiated between the two, the expected burst of flesh and blood did not occur, but Triton's hand holding the sea snail shell was slightly numbed from the shock.
This tingling sensation was not a physical feedback, but a shake of its very soul!
"Such resilient soul and body! Are you really human, you despicable one!?" Triton instinctively exclaimed in panic.
Wu Liang grinned, grabbing the sea snail shell stabbed into his eyeball with a force Triton couldn't resist, and said, "Are you really a Fierce Ghost with such cowardice?"
Crack—
As soon as the words fell, Triton found the sea snail shell in this guy's grasp had emitted a wailing-like cracking sound, with slight cracks appearing on its surface!
He actually crushed the sea snail shell with his bare hands!
This was the very cornerstone on which Triton relied to survive! How could it tolerate Wu Liang destroying it like that!
In an instant, a wave of grief erupted from Triton's mouth, so overwhelming that even lifeless buildings seemed ready to morph into faces sobbing.
Despite the close distance, Wu Liang could leverage the Ghost Compendium to neutralize its supernatural influence, but inevitably experienced a moment of distraction.
Seizing the instant of distraction, Triton hurriedly withdrew the sea snail shell and retreated to a safe distance.
Watching it, resembling a sewer rat driven away, shivering in a corner in panic, Wu Liang laughed.
The benefit of a Spiritual Body is being able to completely ignore any obstacles and some spatial distances, able to appear anywhere nearby with a mere thought!
So before Triton could catch a breath, Wu Liang appeared again, stuck to its escape route like a shadow.
"How could I explain it to He if I let you run?"
With that, his hand clutched the sea snail shell again, and numerous Mist Swords in the air stabbed towards Triton's illusory body.
The aim was to exorcise and destroy both.
Because only by doing so can Triton truly be erased from the world.
Now realizing it's useless to escape or resist against this boy, an eerie gleam suddenly flashed in Triton's eye.
Its struggling illusory body abruptly ceased to resist, no longer avoiding the descending Mist Swords, but instead bowed its head and blew the sea snail shell once more!
Whew~
This move puzzled Wu Liang, furrowing his brows in confusion.
After all, this creature had already tried summoning Soul Shock Waves earlier, knowing it was ineffective, why blow the shell again?
Though he was mocking Triton just now, it didn't mean Wu Liang truly thought this creature was a brainless Fierce Ghost.
"Hehehe... the guy sacrificing for the country awakened me... Since things cannot be reversed... why not complete my final revenge?" Triton chuckled sorrowfully.
Its voice was interrupted by the Mist Swords pierced at its throat, yet the rage in its eyes remained blazing.
This time there was no Soul Shock Wave from the blow of the sea snail shell, but it gave Wu Liang an ominous premonition.
The next second, he noticed the sea snail shell he held beginning to melt, much like the fusion with the Nightmare Mask and Kitchen Knife Ghost earlier.
But this thing wasn't even one of his Fierce Ghost Minions, lacking the management scope of the Ghost Compendium, how could it possibly merge with him!?
"I've already discerned... despicable one... your soul resistance is too high for me to measure... so this curse isn't to harm you... but to protect... hahahaha!"
As Triton uttered these words, its illusory body left only the head after the Mist Swords slashed it.
But those words were perplexing and puzzling.
However, Wu Liang only needed seconds to understand its intentions!
Back when the Lost Realm was buried at the seabed by Director Long's father, they cursed it with the nation's strength.
Now Triton was doing the same.
However, back then, the souls of all the Golden City Fierce Ghosts were sacrificed, but now where could Triton find Fierce Ghost souls?
As the final Prince of the Lost Realm, it had no Fierce Ghost souls now, only fragile human souls—the secondary sources.
Though weaker in strength, their numbers reach the scale of millions!
"You dare!" Wu Liang grabbed its head, gritting his teeth.
The Ghost Compendium in his mind began flipping audibly, and Wu Liang attempted to modify reality.
He did not originally intend to use this ability in this event.
But now, if the souls of several cities were truly sacrificed on him, regardless of psychological burden, facing He Zhan and Director Long would be shameful at the very least.
Triton was now about to completely dissipate due to simultaneous exorcism of the sea snail shell and its illusory body.
With a head uplift, it felt regret for not bringing the Golden City back, its realm becoming a piece of historical dust from now on.
Several years ago, just because of one human, it was buried beneath the sea; now, years later, merely because of another human, the last hope was vanquished!
Golden City... is it destined only to fade away?
At the final moment of complete exorcism.
It spoke arrogantly, just as when it first appeared before Wu Liang, with the lofty image of a Prince of Fierce Ghosts: "Despicable one... your soul will be lonely for eternity!"
"You will always be a despicable one!"
"This is the last curse from Golden City!"
