Chapter 426: The Ghost King Escapes to Freedom

Having just delivered the message to Orochimaru, Ishihara immediately received a plea for help.

Upon checking, he exclaimed, "Good heavens, it's actually from White!"

"I never expected White to need reinforcements; it seems quite a few people and ghosts have designs on the One-Tail."

Ishihara smiled, then vanished from the spot in a Body Flicker.

Meanwhile, the Ghost King inside the laboratory sensed Ishihara's departure instantly.

"Huh? That man has left? So, what should I do next? Stay here, or try to escape?"

The Ghost King began to waver; he somewhat wanted to stay here.

After all, here he could continuously strengthen his power, even if the experiments caused him some pain each time.

But his power was truly increasing.

Of course, the desire to leave stemmed from his strong longing for freedom, and a bit of worry that Ishihara might kill him.

After all, if he eventually held no more research value, he didn't think the other party would let him go.

Thinking this, the Ghost King ultimately decided to run!

Regardless, escaping this place first was the priority.

Thus, the Ghost King began to struggle.

If the bindings on his body were from the beginning, perhaps he couldn't have run or broken free.

But now, his power had increased significantly!

However, when the confident Ghost King unleashed powers like the Ghost Domain, he suddenly discovered it was useless!

The energy on his body seemed to remain, but it had all been sealed away by some inexplicable energy.

Perhaps it was related to the ropes binding him?

Could it be that he could only wait here to die?

Thinking of being discarded as trash by Ishihara once he held no more research value.

The Ghost King began to roll around in agitation, yet his efforts were destined to be futile.

No matter how he pushed or struggled, the ropes on his body only grew tighter.

After some time passed, just as the Ghost King prepared to give up, more than ten ghosts suddenly appeared here.

"I never expected our powerful kin to be captured by this fellow for experiments."

"While he is away, let's hurry and rescue him."

"Indeed, to kill Ishihara, we must gather the power of all our strong ghosts!"

A group of ghosts chattered away there, but their hands never stopped moving, continuously helping the Ghost King break the ropes on his body.

No one knew what material those ropes were made of; when that group of ghosts tried to destroy them, they were all sweating profusely.

Furthermore, as time passed, the ropes indeed grew thinner and thinner.

But the mental state of that group of ghosts grew progressively worse.

This moved the Ghost King deeply.

What a wonderful group of ghosts, helping him escape like this.

To let him leave this place, they were even willing to sacrifice themselves and waste the spiritual energy within their bodies.

Honestly, he really wanted to cry!

For a moment, the Ghost King even displayed human emotions.

Finally, when the ten-plus ghosts were nearly dissipating, the ropes were finally untied.

The mighty Ghost King was finally able to see the light of day again!

"I'm out! I've finally regained my freedom!"

The Ghost King exclaimed excitedly; his talent was extremely powerful!

His emergence was purely an accident.

If Ishihara had studied a bit longer, he would have discovered that the Ghost King's body actually contained a trace of Nine-Tails' chakra!

Yes, it was Nine-Tails' chakra!

When Naruto and others were on a mission, Naruto's angry emotions carried a thread of Nine-Tails' chakra.

And that single thread of chakra was absorbed by the Ghost King, which successfully allowed the Ghost King to shatter Zabuza's Zanpakuto!

If the One-Tail's chakra could teach a ghost the Ghost Domain, then naturally, the Nine-Tails' chakra was even more terrifying.

"Welcome the Ghost King back to the light of day!"

"Long live the Ghost King!"

"Long live His Majesty the Ghost King!"

Seeing the Ghost King emerge, that group of ghosts became excited one and all.
