Chapter 558 If you can't defeat Geng Gui, how can you not defeat Li Shuwen?
Li Shuwen and Cynthia returned to the fourth floor. Li Shuwen keenly noticed that the environment here was subtly different from before.
Before they had gone two steps, a young man with swollen, red eyes ran out.
"Give me back my precious gem, Gastly! Use Shadow Claw!"
Cynthia raised an eyebrow. "Granita, use Dark Pulse to scatter them!"
Li Shuwen immediately warned, "This is a real person, but he's been bewitched by a fox demon. The Flower Rock Monster's full-force evil energy will kill him!"
"Give him to me."
Cynthia frowned slightly. "Grantops, take down Gastly first."
Gastly, surrounded by a faint black aura, lunged at Cynthia with its bloodshot eyes.
Suddenly, the Rockruff spewed out a jet of black smoke, which hit Gastly's face squarely.
Gastly was sent flying backwards without uttering a scream, and immediately fell into a coma.
"Gengar, use Hypnosis!"
Gengar slid through the shadow tunnel and appeared in front of the young man, releasing invisible hypnotic waves from its hands.
The young man's eyelids suddenly felt heavy, and his body went limp as he collapsed to the ground.
Li Shuwen stepped forward, reached out, and took out a red crystal that emitted a black light from the young man's pocket.
When Li Shuwen's hand touched the red crystal, he clearly felt an evil aura running up his arm, trying to penetrate his heart and brain.
Li Shuwen threw the red crystal directly at Gengar, saying, "Gengar, you're in charge."
Gengar stuck out its red tongue and swallowed the red crystal in one gulp.
Just as Kikuko had said, eating another piece of the resentful ghost energy crystal still had no effect on Gengar.
After leaving the influence of the Killing Stone, the young man's aura calmed down considerably.
Cynthia took out a Poké Ball, released Lucario, and said, "Lucario, throw this guy and Gastly to the third floor."
"Don't let them get controlled by the fox demon again and hinder our operations."
Lucario easily picked them up and swiftly returned to the third floor, without roughly throwing them to the ground.
They thoughtfully found a conspicuous place to put them down.
That way, if they encounter someone else later, they might kindly give them a ride.
At the same time, seeing them later can serve as a warning.
When Lucario returned, the middle-aged man who had been fighting the young man ran up to Li Shuwen and Cynthia with bloodshot eyes.
"Give me back my precious jade!"
Li Shuwen frowned slightly. Why did this guy come here too?
Moreover, according to Li Shuwen's wave-guided power, this middle-aged man also had a red crystal in his pocket.
As the young man and the middle-aged man carry the red crystal for longer periods, the resentment contained within the crystal also increases.
The fox demon's act of sharing the Killing Stone fragments with the humans who entered the fourth level was a way of using the humans' negative emotions and life energy to nourish the Killing Stone's energy.
After all, she is a fox demon; how could she possibly be kind enough to share her power with humans?
The middle-aged man's dream monster has some power, though not much.
But Cynthia's Rockruff couldn't defeat her even with a single Dark Pulse.
With a dark expression, he fired another shot, the pitch-black ring carrying even stronger evil energy, pressing the Dream Demon firmly to the ground.
Li Shuwen then spoke up: "Huayan Monster, control your emotions, don't let the fox demon's power affect your mind."
Huayan was taken aback upon hearing this, and promptly began to examine his own body.
It was discovered that he had actually been affected by the fox demon's power on a superficial level.
Otherwise, even if it failed to defeat Misdreavus in one move, the Rockruff's emotions wouldn't have fluctuated so much.
Gengar stepped forward again and used hypnosis to put the middle-aged man into a coma.
This time, without Li Shuwen lifting a finger, Gengar took the Killing Stone shard from the middle-aged man's pocket and ate it.
When the Killing Stone shard touched Gengar's hand, the black light it emitted quickly faded, eventually even emitting a faint, warm red glow.
Gengar was somewhat surprised as to why the rock had suddenly changed like this after establishing a connection with him.
After consuming the Sesshōseki shard, Gengar discovered that he had a connection to the energy contained within it.
I can vaguely sense the location of the next fragment of the Killing Stone.
"Gengga!"
Gengar's short arms pointed expectantly towards the passage to the west.
Li Shuwen raised an eyebrow. "Gengar, can you sense the location of the Killing Stone?"
Gengar nodded vigorously and flew towards the Killing Stone first.
When they reached the corner, Gengar stopped, turned around, and waved frantically at Li Shuwen, urging him to catch up.
Li Shuwen shook his head and could only quicken his pace to catch up with Cynthia.
Gengar right now has a very strong urge to eat at a buffet.
Following Gengar, we arrived at a room where two trainers were directing a group of Pokémon to attack a girl dressed as a priestess, accompanied by two Misdreavus.
The girl was also holding a wooden bow.
By drawing the bowstring, a white arrow can be conjured.
This isn't a shrine maiden's attire, this is a shrine maiden!
The arrow was aimed precisely at the Ghost-type Pokémon on the other side.
However, if the opponent is a non-Ghost-type Pokémon, it will always jump up and drop its arrows.
Arrows have no effect on non-Ghost-type Pokémon, but when they hit Ghost-type Pokémon, they produce thick white smoke as if they've been doused with concentrated sulfuric acid.
The Ghost-type Pokémon's eyes regained their clarity.
But the trainer shouted, "What are you standing there for? Keep going, Dusclops!"
The Wandering Night Spirit's already reddened single eye suddenly emitted a fierce red light.
He swung his fist and punched the shrine maiden.
The witch moved with lightning speed, easily dodging the Shadow Fist.
He turned around and shot another arrow at the Wandering Night Spirit.
This attack pierced directly through the Wandering Night Spirit's single eye.
But don't worry, the Wandering Night Spirit wasn't scared by the shot.
Instead, as the arrow entered the body of the Wandering Night Spirit, it completely restored the Wandering Night Spirit to its senses.
In the blink of an eye, this series of actions occurred.
Cynthia gave the command, "Dark Pulse!"
No matter what kind of Pokémon is on the other side, they're all just weaklings in front of Cynthia.
The jet-black rings flew out in a chain, blasting away all the Pokémon on the other side.
Moreover, the attack precisely avoided the shrine maiden's two dream monsters.
The priestess was somewhat surprised. If such a powerful trainer had also been bewitched by the fox spirit, then the priestess would not be able to defeat him.
Li Shuwen smiled and said, "Don't worry, we weren't affected by the fox demon's illusion."
Gengar seized the opportunity, sneaking up to the two trainers and stealing the Killing Stone shards from their arms.
Then she stuffed it directly into her mouth, and the priestess cried out urgently, "You can't eat that!"
The priestess immediately raised her wooden bow, conjuring an arrow that aimed at Gengar.
To the priestess's astonishment, Gengar's eyes remained clear. "This...this Gengar..."
Li Shuwen quickly spoke up, "I am the most evil Gengar in the world; the power of a mere fox demon cannot affect him."
The priestess blinked. "Is that right?"
As shrine maidens, their most outstanding quality is actually their sensory abilities.
The priestess could clearly sense the pure ghost energy within Gengar.
How can such a Gengar be called the most evil Gengar in the world?
The priestess thought for a moment, if this Gengar could defeat all the other Gengars in the world, then it wouldn't be a problem for it to claim to be the most evil Gengar in the world.
After swallowing the Killing Stone, Gengar moved its nose around and pointed to the passage to the east.
"Gengga!"
The priestess carefully sensed the energy fluctuations from the east, but could only vaguely detect ghostly energy fluctuations.
The priestess also followed Li Shuwen and Shirona.
To the east, three trainers and a group of wild Ghost-type Pokémon were vying for five fragments of the Killing Stone.
In their quest to obtain these Killing Stone fragments, these people and Pokémon have become bloodthirsty.
Li Shuwen spoke up, "Cynthia, Miss Shrine Maiden, could you please help distract them?"
"Send Gengar to bring over all the Killing Stone fragments they're fighting over."
With a single glance from Cynthia, the Rockruff flew up, unleashing a barrage of dark shadow orbs, each accompanied by black lightning.
They were all blown to bits.
The priestess finally found an opportunity and fired a spirit arrow at a Gengar that hadn't fallen.
Li Shuwen's Gengar swiftly picked up the five pieces of the Killing Stone on the ground and ate them.
And those trainers, the Gengar took out all three pieces of the Killing Stone they were carrying and ate them.
The priestess frowned slightly. "I think it's better to let Gengar eat more slowly, even though Gengar has a strong ability to digest the Killing Stone shards."
"But eating so much at once, I think it will have some impact on Gengar's body, right?"
"Do you need me to use my spiritual power to purify Gengar?"
Li Shuwen used the power of Aura to envelop Gengar's body.
Then Gengar let out a burp, its eyes remaining clear.
Meanwhile, the fox demon hiding in the shadows could no longer contain itself.
That damn Gengar, why did it eat so many of her Killing Stone fragments and yet remain completely unaffected?
If Gengar keeps eating like this, the fox spirit will find out and won't be able to revive.
Gengar pointed out the location of the next Killing Stone fragment, and Li Shuwen immediately took action.
Li Shuwen had a premonition that after Gengar ate so many Killing Stone fragments, the fox demon would definitely take some action.
Sure enough, just as they were about to see the next fragment of the Killing Stone, Li Shuwen noticed that the fragment flew to the ceiling and dissolved into it.
Gengar continued searching for new Sesshō-seki fragments, but just as they were about to find them, they were taken back by the fox spirit.
Cynthia sensed danger. "The fox spirit is definitely lying in ambush ahead of us."
Li Shuwen cracked his fist. "Don't worry. Any demons or monsters will scatter before my fists."
"Of course, I believe our most evil Gengar in the world can definitely solve the problem!"
Gengar confidently raised its head, "Gengar!"
The priestess said, "There is a magic circle in the center of the fourth level that can draw energy from the fox demon. Perhaps we can use this magic circle to thwart the fox demon's plot."
Li Shuwen released his wave-guiding power, "No, it's about breaking the fox demon's conspiracy. Only by thwarting the fox demon's conspiracy will the fox demon lose even more energy."
The priestess paused for a moment. Having spent years cultivating in the Spirit Bone Tower, she clearly did not recognize Li Shuwen and Cynthia.
Cynthia smiled and said, "I am Sinnoh Champion Cynthia, and he is my boyfriend, Midas Touch Li Shuwen."
The shrine maiden nodded slightly. "Excuse me, I am the exorcising shrine maiden, Kikyo."
Li Shuwen blinked. Kikyo, do you know Inuyasha?
They searched several more locations, but this time the Killing Stone fragments did not disappear.
Everyone then realized that the fox demon's plot was already in place.
As expected, after Li Shuwen and Gengar rushed in, they were separated from Cynthia and Kikyo by a pitch-black curtain.
The fox demon appeared silently, clapping her hands and saying, "I knew you were skilled and daring enough to intrude on my conspiracy."
"Don't worry, I won't waste your abundant yang energy; I'll definitely make good use of it!"
Li Shuwen retorted calmly, "Are you sure you've got me cornered?"
The fox demon's nine tails swayed, and beams of red light entered its body.
The fox demon's aura expanded to its limit.
Li Shuwen waved his hand, "The world's most evil Gengar is now in your hands!"
Gengar also stopped hiding its presence, and its aura surged.
Having consumed so many Sesshōseki fragments, Gengar's power has increased considerably.
He raised his hand and fired a Shadow Ball directly at the fox demon.
Unexpectedly, the fox demon swung its tail and shattered the Shadow Ball.
"Don't bother showing off a Shadow Orb of this caliber!"
The fox spirit raised its hand, conjuring a dark ball that devoured light, and flew rapidly toward Gengar.
Gengar raised its hand and fired another Shadow Ball with all its might.
The Shadow Orbs collided and exploded, only knocking away the dark energy lightning on the surface of the fox demon's Shadow Orb.
The Shadow Ball continued its determined flight towards Gengar.
Unexpectedly, Gengar opened its mouth wide and swallowed the Shadow Ball whole.
Then, Gengar's body swelled up to twice its size as if it were being inflated.
It looks as round as a ball.
Then, Gengar darted around in the sky like a released balloon.
The energy that had rushed in was released, and Gengar was not only unharmed, but its energy surged again.
The fox spirit was somewhat surprised, "I didn't expect you to actually eat my Shadow Ball."
"Then let's see how you handle this Shadow Ball!"
The fox demon released another shadow orb, this time smaller, but the energy fluctuations it emitted were extremely dangerous.
Gengar also gathered energy, and a Shadow Ball appeared in Gengar's hand.
Gengar went into the Shadow Pit, and the Shadow Ball flew out from the front.
As expected, the fox demon flew to the left, avoiding the shadow orb.
The fox demon said confidently, "Your move was indeed quite good, but I already saw it!"
To everyone's surprise, Gengar emerged from another direction.
The fist, glowing with black light, struck the fox demon in the waist.
"Gengga!"
Having been at the Veiled Dojo for so long, Gengar has learned a lot of techniques from everyone and now has a basic understanding of boxing.
With a single punch, the fox demon let out a miserable scream.
"Damn Gengar, I'll tear you to pieces!"
It has consumed so many fragments of the Killing Stone, and its aura is so pure.
For the fox spirit, Gengar is actually a small piece of cake that's not much less appealing than Li Shuwen's.
The fox demon's claws glowed with black light as it pounced directly at Gengar.
Despite his size, the chubby guy was more agile than Sammo Hung, easily dodging the fox demon's attacks.
But the fox demon couldn't keep Geng Gui in check, and suddenly turned around and pounced on Li Shuwen.
If she can't handle Gengar, can't she handle this human?
