Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 1391: Chapter 791

The twisting black mist, from which human faces constantly emerged, was indeed a ’ghost’.

In this era, the most powerful and undefendable aspect of a ghost is its ability to survive within the ubiquitous Sky Net and directly use it to launch all kinds of bizarre and unpredictable attacks, leaving people defenseless.

Even someone as capable as Li Ang suffered considerable losses at the beginning of the attack.

Upon reflection, he thought this ghost might have possessed Wang Su. It could even be that it was originally Wang Su transformed.

While it sounds unbelievable because Wang Su died not long ago, studies have shown that the latent spirituality of a deceased person takes time to transform into a ’ghost’.

However, Li Ang made this judgment because the face occasionally appearing in the black mist bore some resemblance to Wang Su, who lay on the ground.

Earlier, when he intended to examine Wang Su’s corpse, after touching it, this ’ghost’ invaded his internal network.

Subsequently, the ghost launched a fierce attack on him.

Li Ang analyzed that at that time, he suffered at least several forms of attack. The attack on the soul, which caused intense pain with its shrieking sound, was actually secondary.

The most severe was the disconnection from the Sky Net.

This was also why his communication with Mei Zheng was directly cut off.

The broken communication was just a symptom; the scariest part of being disconnected from the Sky Net was losing all means of spellcasting.

In modern times, practitioners, regardless of their sect or status, essentially cast spells by connecting to the Sky Net, activating spells inscribed on magic artifacts. Losing the connection meant losing all magical means. Facing a ghost without magical power, one would certainly be at its mercy.

Assad, this is precisely the most terrifying aspect of a ’ghost’.

Honestly, aside from Li Ang, likely, no one else could have resisted the ghost’s possession attack.

Li Ang managed to withstand it due to his unique trait: even without the Sky Net, he didn’t lose all spellcasting abilities.

It’s not that Li Ang was born extraordinary; after obtaining the Immortal’s heritage last time, he became a bug in the Sky Net system, and its permissions could no longer completely restrict his spellcasting.

He gained two main benefits:

Firstly, his use of the Sky Net became smoother and more convenient. This advanced his already top-notch hacking skills in Era City to a terrifying level.

Secondly, now he can cultivate himself like ancient practitioners, taking the path of Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core, eventually achieving transcendence and immortality.

Of course, this is just theoretical. The path to immortality is not easy and not Li Ang’s desire.

Simply speaking about the convenience of spellcasting, self-study and cultivation pale in comparison to the fast and easy route using the Sky Net. Moreover, utilizing the Sky Net was Li Ang’s forte for decades.

As a pragmatist, he naturally uses whatever is effective.

Of course, maintaining a degree of spellcasting ability without the Sky Net is extremely useful, which a pragmatist like Li Ang couldn’t forgo.

Being able to cast emergency spells to save himself after being possessed by a ghost and cut off from the Sky Net was thanks to the Ancient Immortal’s heritage.

Having survived the most dangerous wave, things improved significantly now.

The ghost was forced out and manifested in the real world, losing its greatest threat—launching unpredictable and indefensible attacks from the network.

Being forcibly extracted also inflicted severe damage on the ghost. At this moment, it was in chaos, finding it difficult to escape or retaliate.

Nevertheless, one must remain vigilant.

Li Ang would not give the ghost another chance.

He closed his eyes, and seven Heavenly Eye Spells formed phantom eyes, surrounding the ’ghost’.

These phantom eyes were like nodes in an array.

Then, silver-grey micro lights connected them, completely enveloping the ghost, forming an invisible cage.

This ’cage’ didn’t have a physical form; essentially, it was a network blockade.

Physical entities could easily come and go.

But not the Sky Net signal.

This blockade was not absolute; there’s a degree to it. If Li Ang were trapped inside, he could find a way out given some time.

But it was only a ghost trapped in there.

The ghost’s ability on the network was formidable. However, in reality, it was already out of its element and weakened, making breaking through the signal blockade set by Li Ang with the Heavenly Eye Spell very difficult.

Realizing the dire situation, it dashed around within the array formed by the Heavenly Eye Spell but couldn’t break out. Although it caused the array to tremble, that was the extent of its destruction.

Quietly, Li Ang took out the silver dragon and fired several bullets at the ’ghost’ trapped in the array.

[Flame Bullet: Upon contact, it explodes into a large amount of fire, similar to a Molotov cocktail.]

The flames from the exploding flame bullets engulfed the inside of the ’cage’. The ghost, resembling Wang Su, silently howled amidst the roaring flames. The black mist that formed its body shrunk under the heat.

Dissatisfied with its efficiency, Li Ang added a few more incendiary rounds.

The flame intensity increased, and the ghost was completely engulfed and vanished.

He finally and completely destroyed the ghost.

He exhaled deeply, and after confirming the ghost was disintegrated and couldn’t come back, he turned his attention back to Wang Su’s corpse.

After all the commotion, the corpse had shifted, revealing a small black suitcase previously concealed beneath it.
