The priests, monks and the rest of the people were taken aback by what they had just witnessed. The flaming dragon and the invisible hand were powers which they had not believed were possible in our world. In their eyes, Luo Hao was a terrifying person.
Priest Yang was confused and pondered, "This Luo Hao, how did he manage to do this? And priest Hwang, he used to be like the rest of us, how did he gain this power to produce fire? Unless there's really the existence of superpower? It's impossible, how can such a thing exist. Unless this was all just an act?"
Meanwhile, Zhao Yao did not respond to Luo Hao's provocation. He immediately activated his power to freeze time.
The entire world was at a standstill, and Zhao Yao was speeding towards Luo Hao as he commenced his assault.
When time resumed, they only saw Zhao Yao's body magically appearing in front of Luo Hao.
At the same time, Luo Hao's body was shaking violently as both his eyes rolled back and he fell to the floor unconscious.
"Woo, success, " Zhao Yao heaved a sigh of relief. Luo Hao seemed to have the power of psychokinesis, but yet Zhao Yao was not too sure about it.
No matter what, even if he could not identify the opponent's ability, the best way to resolve it was to defeat Luo Hao before he could even land his attack on Zhao Yao.
Matcha's power was instrumental in such circumstances.
"Settled?" Xiao Ming's uncle stared at Zhao Yao in disbelief. He never expected Zhao Yao, who seemed like an ordinary officer boy, to trounce Luo Hao.
The rest of the people gasped in horror as they had no idea what Zhao Yao had done.
"What kind of magic is this, what did they do?"
"Who is this master? How come I've never seen him before?"
Suddenly, the president of the Nanyang Feng Shui Association, Master Mao, stood up and announced, "This has finally been settled. I have just sacrificed ten years of my life to seal his power. This had decreased his vitality, and allowed him to be taken down with a single strike."
The people around him mumbled in unison, "F*cking liar." Nobody even bothered looking at him.
Everyone was staring at Zhao Yao in awe, as memories of the scene flooded their minds.
This scene terrified only Granny Xiao. She was shaking violently and repeated, "Gone, gone; we are gone. What have you done?"
Xiao Ai Guo walked towards her and tried to ease her tensions, "it's all right, mum. We have gotten rid of this guy; you no longer have to be afraid of him."
He turned around to Zhao Yao and said, "Master, we are indebted to you. Luo Hao went around cheating people with his ability and even threatened my mother. If not for you, I really wouldn't know what to do."
Confusion flashed across Granny Xiao's eyes as if she had just been awakened from a nightmare and she shouted, "Finished, you are finished, all of you are finished. All of you will die." Everyone felt uneasy as they saw the fear on her face.
Xiao Ai Guo patted his mother on her shoulders and whispered, "It's okay, don't worry mum. Everything has ended, and we have destroyed Luo Hao. I promise you; you will never have to see him again."
"You dumb fool." Granny Xiao retorted, "He is gone? You guys do not know what grave mistake you have committed. You did not defeat him; you merely infuriated him!"
"Rascal... it's time for you to experience what true terror is."
Everyone could not help but shivered in fear as they heard Luo Hao's words which were full of wrath. They knew that something terrible was about to happen as they felt chills down their spine.
A shadow emerged from Luo Hao's body, and it emanated coldness. The room's temperature felt like it had dropped by 15 degrees.
Everyone stared at it with their mouth wide open as they could not believe their eyes. A shadow was slowly crawling out from Luo Hao's body.
His facial features were entirely different from Luo Hao. He looked pretty handsome, but his face had a blackish-green tint.
'Gh.. Gh... Ghost..." Master Mao pointed at the figure in front of him as his body shook violently.
"Namo Amitabha Buddha" A monk started chanting with the Buddhist prayer beads in his hands.
All the psychics and priests erupted into chants.
When faced with this spiritual being, the majority of them chose to believe in the power of their faiths even though they were liars.
Only Master Mao and Priest Yang began to leave the place secretly.
Priest Yang was in complete shock as he thought, "D*mn it, I only came here to earn some quick bucks. What bad luck to meet a ghost here?"
The spirit looked at the groups of monks and priests who tried to bring him down with their prayers and chants. The spirit stared at them nonchalantly and mumbled, "Boring."
At the next moment, the spirit waved his arm, and he brought about a giant gust of wind, and he slashed across their bodies. Everyone started rolling on the floor and howled in pain. Almost all of them went unconscious immediately.
With a single strike, the spirit was able to defeat most of the monks and priests in the hall. The spirit pouted his lips as he saw the rest of the monks, priests, and members of the Xiao family scurrying for their lives. He then gently clenched his fist. Immediately, a black curtain slowly descended from the sky, and many spirits appeared out of thin air and surrounded the entire place. He had instantly transformed the manor into a ghost house.
Priest Yang was leading the group of people trying to escape. However, he was stopped by green-faced spirits with fangs protruding out of their lips as they stood at the exit. They shrieked and ran back to the hall.
Master Mao saw Priest Yang running back to the hall and shouted, "Are you crazy? Do you think you can stop these spirits?"
Then, he noticed the green-faced spirits chasing after Priest Yang. He instantly turned on his heels and ran towards the hall before he tripped and went unconscious.
However, they did not know that these spirits, which were chasing after them, were incapable of hurting them. They were simply illusions. The only thing which could hurt them was the main spirit in the hall.
The people who tried to retaliate had fainted, and those who wanted to escape had returned. They could only stand at their original spot as they stared at the spirit which had emerged from Luo Hao's body in fear.
"So this is how it works, " Zhao Yao who was silently observing the entire situation had an accomplished grin on his face. He clapped his hands and said, "it's not psychokinesis, but the ability to turn into spirits? So the ability to send people flying off, and confusing Granny Xiao, or even the ghosts he had conjured were just powers he had after turning into a spirit?
This means that the person with the superpower was not even Luo Hao himself. The person's spirit had merely possessed Luo Hao's body, which explained why Luo Had had no cat scent on him.
Oh, this all makes sense."
This was the first time Zhao Yao witnessed the power to transform into spirits. It was an eye-opening experience. He was glad he finally solved the mystery of this ability.
However, one thing which Zhao Yao did not know was that the power was not as strong as he had imagined. The many spirits flying around in the hall were just a distraction to scare people. They could not deal any damage at all.
To gain complete control of an individual, Specter had to possess it just like how Specter possessed Luo Hao. If Specter wanted to control it by an indirect method, he needed to change the person's attitude and personality. It would take at least one or two months as seen from Granny Xiao.
If not for Granny Xiao's old age and her frail body, Specter would have possessed her body and made things less troublesome.
There were numerous conditions before Specter could possess an individual's body. If the person had a strong will and was full of energy, it would be impossible to possess it. A person who was too weak and plagued with illnesses also could not be possessed.
Hence, Specter's only ability which could actually hurt others was the attack which he landed on Master Hwang.
