I will be stronger after the remake

It glanced at everyone present with a complicated expression. Just now, it had secretly used its psionic power to "turn good fortune into misfortune," but it only worked on Hu Ze and failed on the others.

These five people are all unlucky souls plagued by misfortune!

It's not the kind of minor misfortune like falling while walking, choking on water, not winning a lottery, or missing the seasoning packet when buying instant noodles; it's the kind of major misfortune where one's future is ruined and one's fate is altered, including for Ma Yiming, who is currently making a breakthrough.

Its spiritual power is to "turn good fortune into misfortune," not to "bestow misfortune upon misfortune," and it cannot compound misfortune.

"Are you a tiger demon?"

Xu Hao's gaze finally fell on Yuan Ji, the most threatening one. Yuan Ji's spirit had flashed out when he roared just now, and it was a tiger that had become a humanoid spirit. Xu Hao couldn't help but feel apprehensive.

Tiger demons can kill living beings and imprison them as their accomplices; they possess an invisible restraint over ghosts and monsters.

Could it be that I'm actually the biggest unlucky one?

Xuhao felt that since he appeared, he had encountered a series of misfortunes. He was exposed in advance, his spiritual energy failed, and he encountered his nemesis. He was extremely unlucky and had a bad year. For a while, he couldn't help but want to give up.

But it glanced at Ma Yiming and felt a little reluctant. If it could stop the other's advancement, or even devour him, it could gain advancement by breaking fate and reversing the legend.

Once you become a fourth-tier great demon, you can dominate a region and never have to worry about being wiped out again...

"How dare you be distracted on the battlefield!"

Yuan Ji shouted and lunged at Xu Hao again, gathering spiritual power in his fists and churning the air as he struck.

"Fool, I deliberately tricked you!"

While bluffing and making a show of force, he once again activated the Nine Sons Nether Bell, which emitted a piercing sound.

The three curses of bone decay, meridian severance, and heart burning were activated simultaneously. However, the heart burning curse was blocked by the mouth purification spell, while the bone decay and meridian severance took effect.

Yuan Ji groaned and fell to the ground, a cracking sound coming from the corroded joint of his right leg as if the bone had dislocated.

Strange, the opponent is much weaker than before, even though they weren't injured...

Suspicion arose in his mind. As a third-level ghost king, Xu Hao possessed strong resistance in the spiritual realm. Using this doubt to correct his perception, he discovered that "Yuan Ji" was shrouded in an illusion that altered his appearance.

"You're not that tiger demon, you're that sly little brat with the bright eyes!"

Xu Hao scanned the entire area and noticed that two people were missing. He quickly deduced that the "Yuan Ji" in front of him was Tang Ping in disguise. He was filled with fear and hurriedly searched for Yuan Ji's figure. He finally spotted him in a crack in the ground behind him.

Without a second thought, it hastily unleashed the remaining three curses of the Nine Sons of the Underworld Bell all at once.

Unexpectedly, the other party was completely unaffected by the curse, as if the curse had only hit a stone.

"Oh no, this one's fake too!"

The moment the thought crossed his mind, Xu Hao felt a sharp pain in his chest. It was as if the Azure Dragon Halberd had shot out like lightning, piercing through his body and pinning him to the rock wall.

Chapter 110 Other people's magic weapons are the most useful

Yuan Ji's psychic ability "Tiger Skin Shedding" allows an object to disguise itself as him and exchange space, but this disguise is only superficial. It cannot move or possess any spiritual power, and a few glances are enough to identify it as a fake.

Therefore, she primarily used this psychic power as a substitute technique to evade fatal attacks, and never attempted to deceive the enemy by using it in a deceptive manner like Tang Ping's "Campfire Fox Cry".

However, this only applies to situations where one is fighting alone. Once they cooperate with others, new changes can occur. Based on this, Tang Ping proposed a tactic of two people cooperating.

Tang Ping first used "Campfire Fox Cry" to disguise himself as Yuan Ji, deceiving the enemy's perception. If he had borrowed Yuan Ji's power beforehand using "Fox Borrowing Tiger's Power" to emit a similar spiritual aura, the success rate of the deception would be further increased.

If the enemy fails to see through Tang Ping's disguise, that's fine. But once they do, the fake she left behind by Yuan Ji using the "tiger skin shedding its shell" technique will come in handy, while she herself will come to the edge of the battlefield, complete her preparations in an undisturbed environment, and then unleash her decisive blow.

Because humans, or intelligent beings in general, have subconscious thought patterns, once they see through the disguise of something, they will assume that any similar things they discover next are the real thing, and very few people can break free from this thought pattern.

The wasteful actions were clearly not uncommon, and they had firmly fallen into a tactical trap.

Yuan Ji swapped her weapon with a rock near the Azure Dragon Halberd and used a nearby pillar to conceal herself. According to the original tactic, she should have charged back to the battlefield after charging up, but this time the Azure Dragon Halberd she threw was a bit far, and charging would give the enemy enough time to react.

The battlefield is ever-changing, and opportunities are fleeting, so one cannot simply follow the rules blindly.

Yuan Ji adapted to the situation, pouring a large amount of spiritual power into the Azure Dragon Halberd, causing the halberd to tremble continuously, and also activating wind-type spiritual techniques to propel it forward.

The moment the halberd was thrown, the air exploded, creating a ring of energy. Yuan Ji himself was thrown backward by the recoil. The Azure Dragon Halberd pierced through the solid form of the Void Displacement at Mach 3. The spiritual power contained within the halberd transformed into a gale-force wind blade, further tearing apart the Void Displacement's body.

"Uhhhhhh-"

Xuhao let out a shrill scream, his whole body trembled violently, ghostly energy overflowed, and he looked extremely disheveled, clearly having suffered a severe injury.

However, its tragic situation was seven parts real and three parts fabricated; despite the pain, it still had the capacity to observe and analyze the battle situation.

It keenly realized that the strongest tiger demon was far from the battlefield and could not stop it in time, while the man and two women on the outskirts of the battlefield were insignificant and could be ignored. The only one that needed to be dealt with was that handsome guy with sly eyes.

—No, there's no need to deal with the other party. Just stall them for a while so they can't stop me from interrupting the promotion!

Xu Hao acted decisively, deliberately tearing off the arm holding the Nine Sons of the Underworld Bell and using the wind to blow it towards Tang Ping.

Seeing Tang Ping eagerly catch the magic weapon, it sneered inwardly, roared loudly, and transformed its body into a spirit. Ignoring the cutting of the spiritual energy blades, it rushed towards Ma Yiming without regard for anything.

From beginning to end, its goal was not to kill people; it just thought it could easily get rid of these psionicists and was happy to torment Ma Yiming's mind in the process.

It would be even better if Ma Yiming failed to advance due to wavering will. It was somewhat wary of Ma Yiming and would avoid getting close to him if possible.

It has lost its previous composure and no longer has any scruples; it wants to stop it first and think about the consequences later.

As long as Ma Yiming fails to advance, the Void Consumption will receive feedback. Taking advantage of this opportunity to devour people will allow his cultivation to surge on the spot. At that time, it will be easy for him to kill those humans who obstruct him.

"Watch out! Protect Ma Yiming, this ghost is going all out!"

Hu Ze cast the Divine Light Spell again, and thunderclouds gathered in mid-air, flashing with dazzling light, before unleashing a series of thunderbolts.

Boom boom boom...

Six strikes in a row, all of them missed their mark. Xu Hao didn't even dodge; all the lightning grazed its spirit body and missed.

Hu Ze was dumbfounded. Was his aim really that bad?

I remember this spell has an automatic enemy-locking function. Where did it lock onto? Are you using Gaode Maps?

Tang Ping, who was standing beside Ma Yiming, glanced at the Nine Sons Nether Bell in his hand, then at Xu Hao rushing towards him. After a moment's thought, he used the wind manipulation ability he had borrowed from Yuan Ji to pull Yu Shujiang to his side.

“Use ‘Turning Stone into Treasure’ on this thing.”

"Ah? Oh!"

Yu Shujiang had somewhat adapted to the rhythm of the battlefield, so she stopped asking why and simply did as instructed.

At this moment, the exhausted spirit crashed into the water wall. While being bounced back, it also forcefully broke through the water wall, causing water to splash everywhere.

Tang Ping activated the Water Spirit Pearl, manipulating the water to pull the splashing water back, re-condensing it into a wall, and doubling its thickness.

He didn't attack either, but just stood behind the water wall, watching coldly.

"Kid, if you've got the guts, come and fight to the death! Don't just cower like a turtle and only know how to defend!"

He mocked in a fit of rage.

Tang Ping readily agreed, saying, "Alright, once my companions arrive, we'll fight to the death. Whoever runs away is a coward and a bastard."

He wasn't a bloodthirsty, belligerent brute; he also had to protect people. The wisest tactic right now was to stall for time and wait for Yuan Ji to arrive before launching a pincer attack.

Seeing that his provocation was ineffective, Xu Hao chuckled sinisterly, "Then you can just die!"

He immediately activated the backup plan left on the Nine Sons Nether Bell, triggering the magic weapon to automatically cast a curse on the nearest target.

However, nothing happened.

"how come!"

In a panic, Xu Hao frantically channeled his mental energy, issuing commands in succession, but received no response.

At this moment, Yu Shujiang spoke up: "Brother, there was a mark left on the bell, but I ordered the magic weapon to remove it on its own."

Upon hearing this, Tang Ping said with relief, "There really was a trap. I knew the treasure wouldn't just happen to fall into my hands."

The Three-Eyed Spirit was not omnipotent. He hadn't been able to tell whether there was a hidden trick on the Nine Sons Nether Bell, but he had recently become quite sensitive to "coincidences." When he saw the magic weapon flying towards him, his first thought was not "I'm really lucky," but rather "There must be a trap."

Just in case, Tang Ping called his younger sister over and transformed the Nine Sons Nether Bell into his natal magic weapon.

No matter how well the mark of waste is hidden, it will be exposed under the self-check of the magic weapon. Even if it is not detected, it does not matter, because the Nine Sons Nether Bell has become an owner and will no longer obey the orders of outsiders. When it is activated by external forces, it will first ask the owner's opinion, and it will not be activated if the owner does not agree.

One careless move and you lose everything.

Even the slow-witted Xu Hao sensed something was wrong and turned to run away, but as soon as he turned around, a chilling wind rushed towards him, forcing him to stop.

It was Yuan Ji who rushed back to the battlefield. Because the halberd she had just thrown had consumed too much spiritual power, her condition was affected. She simply entered a state of spiritual resonance, her eyes turned into vertical pupils, and her hands turned into tiger claws. With a casual wave, she could unleash a powerful slash that cut through the air.

The severely injured Xu Hao dared not confront the enemy head-on and hurriedly summoned the White Bone to defend himself. He tried to change direction, but Tang Ping activated the Water Spirit Orb to summon three water walls, blocking all three directions.

After a moment's consideration, Xuhao decisively chose to crash into the water wall. Its arms suddenly swelled up, becoming as large as elephant legs, and with a powerful punch, it shattered the water wall with a "bang".

Before it could even catch its breath, a series of thorny vines shot towards it from behind the water wall, a second layer of protection that Tang Ping had applied with wood-based spiritual magic.

It's a bit difficult to cast two different types of spiritual arts at the same time, but it's much easier to cast spiritual arts while using a magical artifact.

Xu used his spiritual energy to "steal from afar," taking the Azure Dragon Halberd from a distance. He quickly chopped down the thorny vines, but this delay allowed Yuan Ji to close in.

"Give me back my weapon!"

Yuan Ji punched Xu Hao in the head, grabbed the Azure Dragon Halberd with one hand, and forcibly took it back by brute force.

Xu Hao used his ghost arm to block, but was violently thrown back. Before he could catch his breath, he saw Yuan Ji wielding the Azure Dragon Halberd and rushing towards him.

They were no match for him even with their bare hands, let alone when his opponent had taken back his weapon.

Xu Hao hurriedly used "Stealing from Within" again to transfer the Azure Dragon Halberd to his own hand. He dared not use the weapon to fight Yuan Ji, fearing that it would be taken away again, so he simply threw it forward as a javelin. Although it was dodged, the Azure Dragon Halberd had already flown far away.

"You think I can't beat you without weapons?"

Yuan Ji snorted coldly, spread his tiger claws, and lunged forward, engaging in fierce close combat.

"I can't beat you one-on-one, but what about two-on-one?"

Xu Hao's back suddenly bulged, and a pair of ghostly arms emerged from it. With all four arms moving at once, he engaged Yuan Ji in a fierce battle.

Tang Ping and the others watched with great concern and wanted to help, but the battle between the human and the ghost was too fierce. Even a casual punch could leave cracks in the rock wall. It was hard to say whether they would help or hinder the fight if they went up to join in.

Even if one uses magic to provide remote assistance, there is still the worry of accidentally harming Yuan Ji, since there is no such thing as immunity to friendly fire in reality.

Hu Ze, who was the most skilled in spiritual arts among them, began to doubt his aim after missing six times in a row with lightning strikes, and dared not make a move easily.

The enemy seems to be wary of this as well, switching between offense and defense extremely quickly and constantly moving to avoid being locked on.

"Third-level demons are really troublesome. Even though they are already seriously injured, they still have the ability to fight."

Tang Ping frowned slightly, quickly thinking of a way to break the deadlock. Suddenly, he heard Yu Shujiang beside him say, "How exactly do you use this magic weapon? There's no instruction manual. Even when I input spiritual power, there's still no response."

In the psychic realm, magical artifacts do not possess spirits. Even if an artifact becomes a natal artifact, it will only accept simple instructions and react in a fixed, programmed manner. It does not have intelligence and will not proactively tell its master how to use it.

Tang Ping recalled the information he had obtained using the Three-Eyed Spiritual Radiance. In a flash of inspiration, he immediately snatched the Nine-Child Nether Bell with one hand and grabbed his sister with the other, continuously activating the spiritual energy "Fox Borrowing Tiger's Power" and "Fox Crying by the Campfire".

"He's going to impersonate me again to use my natal magic weapon. He's basically a minotaur!" Yu Shujiang lamented.

Tang Ping ignored it, sensing that there was still some yin and yang spiritual energy remaining in the magic weapon, and immediately launched a curse at Xu Hao.

"A severed pulse!"

Xu Hao suddenly felt a pain in his arm, his spiritual energy became disordered, and his movements slowed down. Yuan Ji seized the opportunity and punched him in the chest, sending him flying like a kite with a broken string.

It somersaulted to the ground and saw Yuan Ji chasing after it. It quickly used its magic to summon a forest of white bone spears to block him. Suddenly, it felt a piercing pain in its head. Its soul was boiling and its body almost collapsed. It hurriedly used its spiritual power to stabilize itself.

Tang Ping took in this scene and pondered, "It seems that this 'soul-scattering' technique is the most effective."

When used against living people, the effect of "soul dispersal" will make their consciousness confused, like they have a dissociative disorder. If the target is a psionicist, the effect is even weaker, and they will only be mentally disoriented and will return to normal after a while.

However, when it comes to dealing with ghosts, its power is unexpectedly strong. Tang Ping seemed to hear a "superb effect" notification sound, and immediately used all the remaining spiritual power in the Nine Sons Nether Bell to activate the Soul Scattering Curse, and instructed the other three to quickly catch little ghosts to provide fuel for the magic weapon.

Interference from the curse made it difficult for Xu Hao to even maintain his body, let alone fight Yuan Ji. In a daze, he was punched several times, and suddenly felt a pain in his right arm. It turned out that Yuan Ji had used his tiger claws to tear off his two right hands!

"go to hell!"

Having succeeded in one move, Yuan Ji's murderous aura soared to the sky, and his demonic transformation increased. Not only did he grow a pair of tiger ears, but a "king" character pattern also appeared on his forehead.

In her excitement, she even imitated the moves Tang Ping used when cosplaying Inuyasha.

"Soul-Removing Iron Claw!"

The claws, imbued with residual spiritual power, tore open the Ghost King's chest. A surge of powerful energy, like a hurricane, poured in from the wound, cutting and strangling before exploding with a deafening roar.

In an instant, his exhausted body transformed into dense ghostly energy and exploded outwards.

Guided by his intuition, Yuan Ji once again swung his claws at a point in the void. Although there was only air, he felt the sensation of hitting a hard object and heard a sound like porcelain shattering.

"You actually... ughhhhh—"

Xuhao let out an unprecedented scream, which sounded much more genuine than before, mixed with regret and hatred.

It completely gave up the idea of ​​stopping Ma Yiming's promotion and only wanted to escape. It immediately turned into a cloud of black smoke and burrowed into the crack in the ground, trying to hide underground to save its life. Before escaping, it did not forget to spit out a mouthful of poisonous mist to stop Yuan Ji from pursuing it.
