Chapter 262: Flying Head Spell

The transcendent walking on the river had short silver-gray hair and deep blue eyes.

He appeared ordinary, had gray skin, and black surgical thread scattered across his skin. Regardless of whether it was his check, nape, arm, palm or any other parts of his body, all of it had been stitched together with thread long and short.

His clothes were an ashen gray magician gown, the gown had two long sleeves, wide cuffs, and as he walked, his arms naturally tugged at the cuffs, swinging them about.

A saint level aura was brimming all about and covering everything.

Cang Xu was shocked, he had sunken into a life threatening crisis when he touched the water, while this person was walking across its surface.

“A saint level necromancer!”

“It is said that a saint level transcendent understands laws and can form their personal domain that can vie with nasty external influences.”

“Who is he really?”

A moment later, Xiao Wang Zi’s shout answered the puzzlement in Cang Xu’s thoughts.

Xiao Wang Zi pliantly shouted, “It is Lord Doctor Sui Shi!”

The one who had come was You Shen’s personal apprentice, the saint level necromancer – Doctor Su Shi.

Ku Feng had been brought back as an undead by his hands.

What was odd was that when Ku Feng saw Doctor Sui Shi, he didn’t match Xiao Wang Zi’s feelings, instead his eyes exposed both pleasant surprise and also other feelings.

In the cabin, Yi Ying’s face radically shifted, and he was no longer as calm, “You were stalling for time?”

Jian Gui sneered, “You know I am an orthodox undead, of You Shen’s direct line. But it seems you didn’t really understand the meaning of those two things.”

“Very well, you’ve escaped this time, wait and see until next time!” After Yi Ying coldly threw out those words, he activated the Shadow Monk Sacred Emblem.

A moment later, space fluctuated, showing a half meter long chink.

From that chink came dense shadows.

Yi Ying’s entire being sank into the shadows.

The shadow rapidly flowed back into the spatial chink and Yi Ying vanished without a trace.

A second later, the spatial chink was completely gone, and space was returned to normal.

Doctor Sui Shi arrived at the ghost ship, then lightly jumped aboard onto the deck.

“He actually runs pretty fast.” Doctor Sui Shi sensed the spatial fluctuation and Yi Ying’s aura completely vanishing.

“Lord Doctor Sui Shi!” Xiao Wang Zi yelled, even though a skull couldn’t show facial expressions, his adoration and esteem were exhibited in his words.

As one of the twelve saints, Doctor Sui Shi just appearing was enough to scare away the enemy that had nearly taken them all captive.

That kind of style and disposition was something Xiao Wang Zi bowled over for.

From Doctor Sui Shi’s body, one could glimpse a trace of Founder You Shen’s graceful bearing.

Doctor Sui Shi nodded to Xiao Wang Zi, looked at Ku Feng and Cang Xu, then froze his gaze on the ghost ship’s deck.

After that, he began to chant and use necromancy.

The magic raised a billow with vast grandeur.

The magic’s power all flowed into the ghost ship.

The ghost ship was damaged beyond reckoning, but the magic quickly restored it.

The ship’s holes were all patched and no longer leaked.

So much so that the Underworld River’s water was also pulled out of the ship by Doctor Sui Shi and back into the Underworld River.

Doctor Sui Shi used three spells, none of which Cang Xu was able to discern what was going on.

After Doctor Sui Shi stopped casting, Jian Gui’s main body appeared on the deck.

Most of his injuries had been healed, and he was no longer near death.

Jian Gui deeply saluted Doctor Sui Shi, “Lord Doctor Sui Shi, many thanks for your help this time. Please save us one more time, the ghost ship’s magic power reservoir is empty, and I cannot replenish by myself.”

The magic power reserves were inadequate, and the ghost ship was unable to use Ghost World Transversal to return to the Main Plane.

The ultimate ending waiting for them was to be lost in the Ghost World, completely forfeit their original consciousness, and turn into muddleheaded beings of the Ghost World.

Doctor Sui Shi laughed, “That can be done.” 

He extended his palm, exposing a black threaded seam in the center of his palm.

Then, he extended his other hand’s index finger and softly cut the black thread with his sharp fingernail.

The black thread was untied, forming a wound, from which ashen flesh quickly opened up on either side, showing not the bones of the hand, but rather a pitch-black space.

Doctor Sui Shi aimed his palm at the deck and mobilized his magic power.

A moment later, a majestic magic power flowed from his palm cut and directly into the ghost ship.

The magic power even lifted a gale with astonishing presence.

“Full, full!” Jian Gui called out a few seconds later.

The saint level magician had astonishing magic power reserves, and filling up a silver level magic ship was the flick of a finger for Doctor Sui Shi.

Jian Gui expressed his gratitude again.

Doctor Sui Shi nodded faintly, “Your luck’s pretty good, I have been exploring the Ghost World for over three months already and was planning to leave when I received your distress call.”

“Although I had your ghost ship’s spatial coordinates, long-distance teleportation spells are not very precise.”

“Luckily, you weren’t harmed that much.”

Thanks to Doctor Sui Shi’s timely assistance, although the necromancers had lost, they didn’t lose that much, by contrast, the pirates had enormous losses.

Xiao Wang Zi shook his arm in cheer, “Lord Doctor Sui Shi, if you came even a moment too late, we would have had a tragic end.”

Ku Feng saluted, “Your Lordship.”

Doctor Sui Shi looked at Ku Feng, “It seems you have getting by decently these last years.”

Ku Feng expressed his gratitude, “Thanks to your Lordship’s actions, I was given a second life that allowed me to keep pursuing the path of the blade.”

Doctor Sui Shi shook his head, “You were designed in the spur of the moment and can only be considered mediocre. What a pity…I lacked some materials then, leading to your subpar aptitude, otherwise, you could have become an orthodox undead too.”

Ku Feng bitterly laughed, “To be able to regain my life is enough to satisfy me, chasing the path of the blade is my life’s purpose, regardless of the final outcome.”

Finally, Cang Xu got a chance to interject, “I say everyone, can you help me? I am dying!”

Xiao Wang Zi cried out in alarm, and he asked Jian Gui for help, “Lord Jian Gui, you have to save the newcomer now, I was unable to.”

Compared to Doctor Sui Shi, Xiao Wang Zi was closer to Jian Gui and didn’t dare to ask for the saint necromancer’s help

Jian Gui nodded and didn’t refuse the request.

Although he had treated Cang Xu and Xiao Wang Zi as bait during the battle, the situation had been at a desperate moment. 

Looking after himself and abandoning others was human nature.

Now that the situation had calmed down, Jian Gui was no longer as stingy.

However, just as he was about to cast, Doctor Sui Shi prevented him, “Wat a moment.”

Jian Gui paused.

Doctor Sui Shi sized up Cang Xu with interest, gazing at his chest, “Your condition is a little rare, you have sparked my inspiration.”

“Let me remake you.”

Jian Gui was slightly startled.

Xiao Wang Zi replied with a cheer to congratulate Cang Xu, “Newcomer, I didn’t expect you to have a blessing in disguise! Being remade by Lord Doctor Sui Shi will make you stronger!”

Cang Xu also felt pleasantly surprised but quickly noticed Jian Gui’s and Ku Feng’s amiss expressions.

Cang Xu rushed to ask, “May I ask, what is the transformation success rate?”

Doctor Sui Shi excitedly shrugged his shoulders, saying irresponsibly, “I haven’t done any tests, this will be the first time, I can’t give an estimate.”

Xiao Wang Zi stared at him.

Jian Gui and Ku Feng held even stronger faces of agony.

Cang Xu hurriedly declined, “I want to be more cautious compared to getting stronger.”

Cang Xu had a prudent disposition and naturally didn’t want to take risks. He avoided Doctor Sui Shi’s gaze and looked at Jian Gui.

But Jian Gui avoided his eyes.

Doctor Sui Shi shook his head and smiled, “No one will save you, little magician.”

“Only you can determine whether you die.”

“You only have one road, that is to obediently work with me and become my test subject.”

Cang Xu’s heart sank into the depths, and resentment boiled out, but he quickly calmed down.

Cang Xu knew he had no other choice.

He nodded and weakly replied, “Then please do it Lord Doctor Sui Shi!”

Doctor Sui Shi lightly raised a hand, and with his spirit power, bound Cang Xu and raised him into the air.

Doctor Sui Shi extended his other hand and moved his fingers.

Magic was used in a second and hadn’t been stored, it was a silent casting technique.

The five fingers’ sharp aura lightly cut Cang Xu’s body everywhere from a distance.

A moment later, Cang Xu’s four limbs were severed and fell to the floor.

Cang Xu blankly stared, then opened his mouth and exploded with a miserable scream.

Pain, so painful!

He had never experienced such pain before, one far worse than pain that penetrated the soul, it was hard to keep himself composed and he could only vent it through his wretched howls.

Xiao Wang Zi was dumbstruck, and his heart went cold.

He saw that not only did Cang Xu’s severed limbs fall to the floor, but his soul had also been severed too, sealed inside each of the limbs.

It was this soul cutting that caused such unimaginably terrible pain.

“A little noisy.” Doctor Sui Shi was apathetic and lightly cut with his fingers again.

Cang Xu’s head left his neck and fell to the deck, tumbling in a circle. 

Doctor Sui Shi did not care about Cang Xu’s head and cast a spell in passing.

Despite Cang Xu still mournfully howling, his voice was already gone and no longer spread.

“The impurity is removed, only the main material is left.” Doctor Sui Shi clicked his tongue, carefully taking measure of Cang Xu’s body with interest.

Soon after, a treasure was spat out of the wound in his palm.

This treasure looked like a frog statute, it was the size of a washbowl, and it emitted a gold level aura.

It was a sacred item of the Voodoo Church!

A moment later, Doctor Sui Shi used magic to crush it into slag.

Without the sacred item, the divine energy hidden inside it became visible.

The large dark green divine energy was spiritually guided by Doctor Sui Shi into Cang Xu’s body.

The dark green energy inside Cang Xu’s body was massively replenished, and a split second later, the negative energy inside it was eliminated and Cang Xu’s torso swelled.

Cang Xu’s toro swelled further, like a balloon, it seemed full enough to burst apart.

Doctor Sui Shi slightly raised his eyebrow, “Little magician, your aptitude is too low.”

Doctor Sui Shi had no choice but to add an extra investment and took out a palm from his wound.

This severed palm looked like a claw, it had exposed veins and was very sinister, it too emitted a gold level aura.

Doctor Sui Shi poured in his magic power, and the paw immediately reacted, its appearance grew fuzzy, and it rapidly melted into a dripping green.

Doctor Sui Shi used spiritual control to drip the green drops onto Cang Xu’s torso.

Then, Cang Xu’s limbs received drops.

The green drops extended across the body, forming a viscous green coating that stopped the torso from exploding from inflation.

Doctor Sui Shi cast once again.

After the transformation continued for a few minutes, he used his spirit to lift up Cang Xu’s limbs and attached them back.

Once connected back, the four limbs also began to rapidly swell, full of the voodoo divine energy.

Very quickly, there was a giant balloon floating in the air, a balloon with four smaller ballons attached to it.

“Next is the most crucial step.” Doctor Sui Shi exposed a serious look for the first time.

He took out another thing from his palm.

It was a zombie head.

“Open.” Doctor Sui Shi undid the head’s seal, revealing that the zombie head’s original size was gigantic, the size of a carriage.

“This is one of my collector’s items, a gold level voodoo zombie.”

“Killing this kind of this is very easy but cutting off its head and keeping its soul and the voodoo divine energy inside it isn’t as easy.

Doctor Sui Shi sighed and placed the gigantic voodoo zombie head onto Cang Xu’s body.

The gigantic zombie’s eyes were originally closed, then the instant it was connected, its eyes suddenly opened with cold killing intent!

But Doctor Sui Shi suppressed it at the same time as that, and the gigantic zombie’s eyes had no choice but to close again.

The dense voodoo divine energy inside the gigantic zombie head and Cang Xu’s body quickly formed a link.

Cang Xu’s body continued to swell, but this time, with the gigantic zombie head’s influence, it no longer looked like a balloon, but rather a enormous body and limbs.

“A Great success!” Doctor Sui Shi burst into laughter.

Jian Gui and the others congratulated him.

Doctor Sui Shi looked at Cang Xu’s head and lightly snapped his fingers.

Magic was used, and Cang Xu’s soul calmed down and no longer felt pain, while simultaneously stopping the harm the Underworld River’s water brought.

In addition, knowledge passed through spiritual power was poured into Cang Xu. 

“This is a small result of my research.”

Consider it a reward for me taking your body.”

Cang Xu was dazed, and in the moment of unconsciousness, swiftly looked at the knowledge Doctor Sui Shi was imparting onto him.

“Flying Head spell…”
