"Ah!" Another tragic cry sounded from the lake. Zhou Wen originally imagined that it would be the scarecrow, but to his surprise, he realized that it was Yin Talisman King again.
Yin Talisman King's hand pierced through the scarecrow's chest and grabbed one of its hands with the other. However, the scarecrow stood in front of him expressionlessly. The Essence Energy in Yin Talisman King's body rapidly flowed into the scarecrow's body.
Yin Talisman King wanted to shake off the scarecrow, but he seemed to be sucked in. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't shake it off. As for the scarecrow, it approached his body as though it was about to stick to him.
"Boom!" Zhou Wen saw an immortal glow swirl on Yin Talisman King's palm. A strange symbol circulated in his palm and forcefully exploded the scarecrow's body.
The scarecrow's body slid across the lake like a figure skater, but its actions were extremely strange. As it twisted its body and slid towards Yin Talisman King, one of its hands grabbed at him.
Yin Talisman King fought the scarecrow above the lake, but he couldn't gain any advantage. If not for the mysterious symbol on his hands that could restrain the demonic aura on the scarecrow, he would have long been sucked dry by the scarecrow.
Even so, Yin Talisman King didn't have a good time. He couldn't see, so he could only rely on his other senses to make up for his deficiencies. At the same time, he didn't dare touch the scarecrow anywhere else.
The scarecrow was like an elegant figure skater. Its body moved strangely on the surface of the lake as it attacked Yin Talisman King in all sorts of elegant and strange stances.
Yin Talisman King's crystal-like Terror Body immediately turned black when it was touched by the scarecrow, as though ink had seeped into his flesh.
What a terrifying scarecrow! Zhou Wen was alarmed. Even someone as powerful as Yin Talisman King was suppressed to such a sorry state in front of the scarecrow.
Yin Talisman King's Five-Elemental escape technique didn't seem to work in front of the scarecrow. As he moved in the water, the scarecrow's figure transformed into black smoke and dissipated. By the time he escaped from the water, the scarecrow had already condensed beside him.
The two invincible Terror-grade existences didn't seem to produce any earth-shattering strength, but their battle was extremely dangerous. If it were an ordinary Mythical creature, they probably wouldn't even be able to withstand a single strike and would die tragically on the spot.
The strength of one's power wasn't just based on one's destructive power. Some powers didn't seem very destructive, but they could kill upon contact.
Zhou Wen originally wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but after hiding in the water to watch for a while, he dismissed the thought of immediately escaping.
Yin Talisman King was proficient in the Five-Element escape technique. If he really wanted to escape, he could escape 50 kilometers away. He believed that the scarecrow wouldn't be able to catch up to him so easily.
However, Yin Talisman King only traveled in a small area and didn't go far. It was obvious that he hadn't given up on the purple bronze ball and wanted to snatch it back from the scarecrow.
In reality, the scarecrow only used one hand to fight. Its other hand held the purple copper ball tightly. Clearly, it valued the purple copper ball as much as it did.
Zhou Wen secretly summoned Demonic Neonate and hid in the lake with her, hoping to wait for an opportunity.
Demonic Neonate's large eyes sized up the scarecrow and Yin Talisman King. Clearly, she was judging the situation and searching for an opportunity.
Although Yin Talisman King was suppressed by the scarecrow, his life wasn't in danger. During the battle, Yin Talisman King still shouted, "Who are you? Are you a Fiend? I once treated you as a Fiend Guardian as an equal … "
However, the scarecrow ignored him. He circled around Yin Talisman King like a ghost and attacked him, putting him in a perilous situation.
Seeing that Yin Talisman King seemed to have the intention of retreating, Zhou Wen thought to himself, If I let him escape, I'm not a match for the scarecrow. I'm afraid I won't be able to retrieve the purple bronze ball. How can I prevent Yin Talisman King from escaping and fight the scarecrow until both sides are injured?
However, after some thought, he didn't seem to have a solution. Unless all the five elements were sealed, it was impossible to stop a person who was proficient in the Five-Element escape technique from escaping.
Indeed, when Yin Talisman King realized that he couldn't turn the tables and was gradually unable to withstand the scarecrow's attacks, he had the intention to retreat.
After dodging the scarecrow's attack, Yin Talisman King used Water Escape to the edge of the lake and jumped towards the shore. Half of his body had already fallen into the soil. He wanted to use Earth Escape to leave this place and wait for his injuries to recuperate before seeking trouble with the scarecrow.
However, Yin Talisman King's expression suddenly changed. He felt as though a force from the soul was sucking his soul into the lake.
Just as Yin Talisman King burrowed into the ground, he fell back into the lake involuntarily.
"Soul Cage!" Yin Talisman King turned pale with fright as he couldn't help but shout.
Zhou Wen also saw an extremely strange scene. The scarecrow stood above the lake, its body wrapped in demonic smoke that resembled a black robe, but its body made of straw emitted a holy brilliance that resembled a soul.
The entire lake emitted a white soul glow like a lake of holy light.
Yin Talisman King's body rushed out of the lake, but there was a transparent shadow locked in the lake. Then, Yin Talisman King's body bounced back as though it was being pulled by a rubber band.
The transparent shadow fused with his body as the scarecrow transformed into demonic smoke again and arrived beside him, elegantly launching an attack.
Zhou Wen was also alarmed. While they were fighting, he swam towards the shore, hoping to leave the lake.
However, just as he climbed ashore, he felt as though something in the lake was affecting him, making him want to throw himself into the lake uncontrollably.
Could the Soul Cage that Yin Talisman King mentioned really be able to imprison souls? Seeing that the Demon God Catalog and Mirror Eyes were useless, Zhou Wen's heart stirred as he switched to the Supreme Hell King Life Soul.
The moment the Supreme Hell King Life Soul appeared, Zhou Wen's entire body transformed into a Hell King state. The force that was pulling him suddenly vanished as Zhou Wen finally rushed ashore.
Turning his head, he saw that there was no glow in the lake. He couldn't even see the lake water. Countless bones sank to the bottom of the lake, and in the lake were countless wailing, struggling, and entangling wraiths. The lake was like a living hell, and the scarecrow that emitted demonic aura was the king of this purgatory.
Countless wraiths entangled Yin Talisman King's soul. Yin Talisman King's body could leave the lake, but his soul was entangled by countless wraiths.
Some wraiths wanted to pester Zhou Wen, but the moment they touched Zhou Wen's Supreme Hell King Body, they immediately seemed to be burned by invisible flames. One of their hands turned to ashes.
As for the invisible flames, they remained unextinguished. They spread across the wraiths until they were completely reduced to ashes before disappearing.
