Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1286

Despite knowing Myla wasn't an ordinary person, Vincent still reflexively shielded her in his embrace as they prepared to crash to the ground. Thankfully, he didn't suffer much impact while in his soul state.

Myla, on the other hand, turned around to look at him. Her eyes widened slightly, visibly surprised by his action, but she soon diverted her attention away from him.

An oppressive aura approached them, and when she looked up, she was met with the Ghost King's enraged gaze.

Standing before Myla, the Ghost King exuded an unmistakable cloud of malevolent energy, albeit suffering a few noticeable gaps in his ghastly energy and losing an arm.

Clearly, despite chasing after them, he hadn't come away unscathed from his encounter with Shannon.

Myla's first reaction upon meeting the Ghost King wasn't about his disheveled but… "You're the Ghost King? Wait—you're a male?"

What happened to the Ghost Queen?"

In response, the Ghost King cast her an indifferent look. "An underworld traveler? Why are you in my business?"

Before Myla could respond, a bolt of fire lightning came crashing in their direction, accompanied by a familiar voice.

"With all laws reduced to flame and with my divine power, the lord commands the nine realms… By the decree of pardon, ignite and shatter all!"

It wasn't the same fire lightning that carried the power of phoenix previously. Instead, it was the standard fire lightning cast from the fire thunder talisman she had learned from Maya.

The only difference was that hers was stronger.

The fire lightning struck the King of the Dark Mountain. Although the Ghost King quickly raised his ghastly energy to block the strikes, he was still pierced with several gaping holes.

The dense, swirling ghastly energy that once surrounded him now appeared tattered and in disarray, nearly losing its form. Compared to his initial domineering and awe-inspiring image, he now looked utterly disheveled.
