Chapter 113: Halloween Buff

The moment his form was exposed, they immediately exerted force, surrounding Zhong Kui from the east, west, south, and north.

Their Qi surged, attempting to launch attacks from all four sides simultaneously.

At this moment,

The crimson moon in the sky shone even brighter.

Its light fell on the four Summoned Creatures, and their Qi surged again!

Centered on them, a massive binding circle formed in midair.

The binding circle was filled with disintegrating, corrosive power; Zhong Kui narrowed his eyes, and within this circle,

his strength was draining away bit by bit.

They intended to use time to wear Zhong Kui down to death!

At this moment,

the Triumphant Alliance's spectators seemed to see hope!

"Two SS Rank Summoned Creatures, two Super SSS-Rank Summoned Creatures, and a Halloween Buff!"

"In this opening guard battle, I seem to already smell the scent of victory!"

"Dragon Nation's Summoned Creatures are indeed powerful, especially the Shadow Soldier that passed in the previous arena match,

which actually trampled three Super SSS-Rank Summoned Creatures!"

"But even the sun sets; Dragon Nation's Summoned Creatures will eventually be weak. Looking at it now,

this is the best chance for our Triumphal Empire to turn the tide!"

"Moreover, the City of a Thousand Ghosts is our home ground; its strength far exceeds what is currently displayed,

surely it still hides more powerful aspects yet unrevealed."

"In this opening guard battle, our Triumphal Empire is unquestionably destined to win!"

"The trap is set; Dragon Nation's Summoned Creatures cannot escape with their wings clipped!"

At this moment,

the spectators from the nations opposing Dragon Nation all wore smiles on their faces.

They, after a long absence, were once again full of anticipation.

They looked forward to Dragon Nation being utterly defeated from now on!

"Hey, the trap has already been set."

"Even if you're a powerful X-level Summoned Creature, none of us will let you slip away easily!"

Wutou Wang stared at Zhong Kui, his words brimming with confidence.

Not only him, but the other three terrifying fellows also outright doubted that Zhong Kui could easily break this trap.

But who could know.

At that moment, Zhong Kui actually laughed out loud,

"Hehe, I originally wanted to spend more time playing with you, so I saved a bit of strength."

"I didn't expect to receive your insults and contempt in return…"

"Since that's the case, I have no need to hide anything any longer."

"You say you've trapped me, right?"

"Please open your eyes wide and see clearly who is actually bound!"

Zhong Kui's voice was filled with a trembling power.

The four terrifying fellows felt their heads spin for a moment.

A brief blankness flashed across their minds.

Their heads throbbed, and darkness clouded their vision.

"Bad!"

At that instant, the most formidable Flying Demon among the four suddenly shouted.

That scream snapped the other three terrifying fellows back to their senses.

But...

When they looked again and saw the silhouette inside the trap, their brains seemed to be struck by a blunt force, startling them.

"Wutou Wang?"

"How could you be? How did you get trapped in the trap!"

Se Xi the Witch's pretty little face showed fear, assuming the one trapped was Wutou Wang.

Then what about Zhong Kui? Where did he go?

How did he get out?

And when did he leave?

Even more chilling upon reflection is that this trap had gathered all their power,

as well as the crimson moon's blessing; even an X-level being couldn't hope to escape easily.

Yet Zhong Kui managed to slip away silently beneath their very eyes, which might mean that

Zhong Kui's rank has already surpassed X-level?

"Bad?"

"Retreat quickly!"

Se Xi the Witch seemed to recall something, mounted her broom, and was about to swoosh away.

But the next moment, a calm, powerful voice rang overhead.

"Retreat?"

"Did I give you the right to retreat?"

Zhong Kui hovered in the air, eyes wide with fury, driving the Evil-Suppressing Seal in his hand downward.

The Evil-Suppressing Seal grew continuously larger under the push of power, ultimately covering a range of several hundred li; wherever it reached, space fell into dead silence.

Lightning flickered across the seal, like a meteor falling from the cosmos.

The Witch Circe and other terrifying creatures looked up at the Evil-Suppressing Seal, their pupils suddenly contracting.

"Run... run what!"

It was already too late!

Boom!

The Evil-Suppressing Seal crashed down.

The earth trembled and dust flew.

Four terrifying creatures who thought themselves powerful couldn't even take a single strike from Zhong Kui!

Zhong Kui put away the Evil-Suppressing Seal and sighed helplessly.

"Actually, I still didn't use my full strength in that attack just now."

He had used less than thirty percent of his power.

He had originally thought the four terrifying creatures could put up a bit of resistance.

That way, Zhong Kui's trip here would at least have been a little entertaining.

But he hadn't expected this.

Zhong Kui thought to himself: "In the end, I overestimated your strength."

After taking care of all this, Zhong Kui collected the four ghost artifacts.

He was ready to destroy Thousand Ghost City!

But right at this moment!

The Crimson Moon in the sky.

Actually flickered with an abnormal evil light.

The light was as if reflected in a pool of blood, incomparably bright red; wherever it reached, even buildings were corroded.

Buildings constructed from stone collapsed with a boom.

The Crimson Moon hung above the clock tower, and Zhong Kui frowned as he looked at it.

He saw that the edges of the full moon actually sprouted bizarre writhing tentacles.

On the smooth red moon, a terrifying face emerged.

It had a pair of eerie crescent-moon eyes, its dilated pupils like abysses; any mortal who met its gaze would instantly lose their mind.

A blood-red maw filled with sawtooth-like fangs, covered in blood threads and muscle tissue.

A terrifying power had awakened!

The Crimson Moon!

This was the true source of all power in Thousand Ghost City!

"X-class..."

Zhong Kui saw through the Crimson Moon's level at a glance.

The Crimson Moon's light enveloped the earth; it revealed a horrifying smile, chanting obscure runes from between its teeth.

"My most loyal servants, my most capable believers—when the light shines upon all, death shall never descend."

"All of you, rise!!"

As its words fell.

He saw that.

Various ghosts and monsters that had previously died climbed up from the ground as if by miracle.

Pumpkinheads, skeletons, mummies, witches...

Even!

Even the Witch Circe and the other four great terrifying creatures regained their vitality.

They stood beside the Crimson Moon like four great dharma protectors, looking down upon the host of ghosts, appearing especially oppressive under the moonlight.

Just as the witch had said before.

During the period from 24:00 to 24:10.

Summoned Creatures that had died.

Could be revived.

Of course, this was limited only to Summoned Creatures that had died within this time period.

"Now, the most crucial moment has arrived."

The Crimson Moon's mouth curled into a sinister smile; it suddenly opened its maw wide and swallowed the Witch Circe and the other four great terrifying creatures whole in front of everyone.

Then it took a deep breath toward the terrifying creatures on the ground.

That terrifying suction force didn't even spare Little Clami.

In an instant.

All the ghosts and monsters in Thousand Ghost City were sucked into the Crimson Moon's belly, transformed into its power.

Beneath that moon head, an enormous body also grew, fully over a hundred meters tall.

The body, built from flesh and blood, was like a mountain of rotting meat; countless tentacles extended from the flesh.

It was covered in sharp steel spikes, raised high, then slammed down violently.

Boom!

The earth split open a crack.

The X-Rank Scarlet Moon, its power has already reached its peak!

Even a being beyond SSS-Rank cannot resist it; its strange eyes stare fixedly at Zhong Kui.

Next!

As many as fifty huge tentacles were raised high.

Combined together, like an iron plate falling from the sky, they instantly enveloped Zhong Kui's whole body.

Boom!

It smashed down violently!

Smoke and dust filled the scene, and the surrounding buildings instantly turned into ruins.

Gravel flew everywhere; upon seeing this, the Scarlet Moon let out a strange hehehe laugh.

As if celebrating the arrival of victory.

The spectators of the Triumphant Alliance were wildly excited, many crossing their hands and beginning to pray.

Some impatient ones even started opening champagne to celebrate mid-match.

"Hahaha, the X-Rank Scarlet Moon has gathered the power of all the monsters and ghosts of Thousand Ghost City,

"Even the Dragon Nation's Summoned Creatures, no matter how strong, could not be its opponent!"

"We, perhaps we have really won!"

"Hahaha, great, we really are going to win, we really are going to win."

"I previously thought that our first defensive battle deployment was because the goddess of luck was not on our Triumphant Alliance's side."

"Now it seems the goddess of luck wants us to win the reward and thus turn our fortunes around!"

"No need to watch, this match is already over; I suggest the Mysterious Judge now award the reward!"

"Perhaps due to over-excitement, the Triumphant Alliance's spectators got a bit carried away."

"Of course, besides them, there were also voices from other nations at the scene."

"The Great Hero Nation and the Xiao Han Republic again began their 'barking'."

"Yo, I already knew Dragon Nation would definitely lose; the only pity is that it wasn't us who defeated them."

"Sigh, if our Xiao Han Republic had gone first, maybe the reward would have been ours."

"Forget it, just seeing Dragon Nation lose already satisfies me."

"From now on, the Divine Ghost Killing Arena, Dragon Nation will cease to exist..."

"What's the result?"

"These brainless insults haven't finished yet."

"The area suppressed by the fifty tentacles."

However, a drastic change occurred.
