Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 214 Deception and Reality: Mo Xuan's Desperate Counterattack!

At this crucial moment in the battle, Dudley's fighting rhythm was disrupted by Sirius, and he couldn't help but loudly rebuke him.

He knew Sirius was trying to protect him out of good intentions, but doing something wrong at such a critical moment could lead to death!

Sirius realized the inappropriateness of his actions and quickly released his Patronus again to protect the area. At the same time, he stretched out his hands to help Dudley pull the Soul Chain, saying:

"It's my fault, Dudley! I'll help you pull..."

"What the hell are you doing?! Get out of here!"

Dudley was both shocked and furious to see Sirius's hand reach for the Soul Chain without any magic.

Immediately, he glared and raised his leg, unleashing the red light of the power-boosting spell. With a clever move, he kicked Sirius in the stomach from behind.

At the same time, he shouted "All curses are over!" and used a dazzling yellow light to protect Sirius's body.

Sirius, protected as he was, traversed the raging inferno and was kicked flying behind the three professors.

The soul-hooking chains formed by the tattered Ten Thousand Soul Banner exude a chilling aura that strikes directly at the soul. They also possess a considerable pulling and sucking force on the souls and spiritual power of surrounding creatures. Furthermore, they can occasionally burst out of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner to collect and refine souls, launching a surprise attack.

Dudley imbued his hands with both the Power-Enhancing Charm and the Guardian Charm, and used silvery-white protective energy to suppress and envelop the broken chain. When it was pulled, it was still affected and could not exert its full strength, and had to be careful and pay attention at all times.

Sirius Black dared to brazenly reach out and grab it; he was practically asking for trouble!

It doesn't matter if he's courting death, but he just met Harry this afternoon and made friends with Dudley's little cousin.

If Harry had participated in Dudley's operation that night and died, wouldn't he have cried his eyes out and been heartbroken?

How can this be allowed?

So Dudley kicked the annoying idiot away and continued to focus entirely on the battle.

The orca guardian had been grinding its two rows of large teeth against the broken part of the soul-snatching chain for a long time, and was about to bite it off.

Flames also spread all around, engulfing everything.

Ghost cultivator Mo Xuan kept releasing Muggle souls to extinguish the fierce flames surrounding the Ghost King. More and more Muggle souls were forcibly released, and the power that the Myriad Soul Banner could exert continued to weaken. The Ghost King's size also shrank again and again.

The scales of victory are tipping in Dali's favor.

However, the fact that the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan was able to escape the encirclement and suppression of the righteous cultivators of China and live a carefree life overseas shows that he was definitely not an ordinary person who would sit and wait for death.

"You forced me to this! I'm done for today! I'll burn, my lifespan is twenty years longer, the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, offer this sacrifice!"

Mo Xuan, inside the Ghost King's body, shouted loudly once more, and stirred up thick dark clouds around the Ghost King to obscure the view, seemingly ready to fight to the death.

But Dali found this statement problematic.

When he first met the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan, Mo Xuan was a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties with gray hair. Later, he sacrificed eleven years of his lifespan, which made him almost fifty years old.

Now that another twenty years of lifespan have to be sacrificed, I'll be almost seventy years old.

This ghost cultivator, Mo Xuan, is a person who practices evil arts and is accompanied by the evil magic weapon, the Myriad Soul Banner, and is deficient in qi and blood.

Even if a 70-year-old wins against them, they won't have many days left to live.

Based on my observations over this period of time, Mo Xuan is a decisive and ruthless person, but he is by no means a reckless young man who is not afraid of death or cares about gains and losses.

The souls within the tattered Ten Thousand Soul Banner have already been mostly depleted. Even if he were to sacrifice twenty years of his lifespan at this point, he wouldn't be able to unleash much power. Why would he make such a foolish move?

Or is it that the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan is just bluffing, trying to scare them away so he can escape?

Keda Li couldn't guarantee that a ruthless person like Mo Xuan didn't have any hidden trump cards. What if he thought Mo Xuan was on the second level, but Mo Xuan was actually on the third level?

Dudley's mind raced. Should he let go and distance himself, or should he fight back head-on?

A decision could not be made immediately.

“Dursley, he’s trying to scare us again! Don’t let him get away!”

Professor Flitwick's voice pierced through the fire and reached Dudley's ears. Clearly, Professor Flitwick shared the same suspicions as Dudley.

Although Professor Flitwick couldn't understand Chinese, Mo Xuan had already said similar things twice, and both times he aged and unleashed a powerful attack after saying them.

The brilliant Professor Flitwick, relying solely on his memory and analytical skills, was able to roughly guess the meaning of that sentence and make a similar guess to Dudley.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, a sharp crack interrupted Dali's thoughts; the orca guardian had snapped the Soul-Snatching Chain!

This caused Dali to lose his strength, and he fell backward, pulling on the chain in his hand, narrowly avoiding a fall on his backside.

However, Dudley was overjoyed and stopped worrying. He had Voldemort's soul fragment in his possession!

Let's retreat first!

"Hahaha! Too late! Smart people just overthink things!"

Ghost cultivator Mo Xuan let out a wild laugh. The Ghost King was gone, and he also broke free from his fusion state, soaring from the place shrouded in dark clouds into the air.

His appearance showed no signs of aging, indicating that he had not actually sacrificed twenty years of his lifespan.

However, the tattered Ten Thousand Souls Banner in his hand had undergone a new change. The black cloth banner no longer bore the patterns of the Ghost King, but instead had transformed into a constantly rotating vortex pattern.

The vortex pattern possessed a restrained power, appearing ordinary at first glance. However, when Keli focused his attention on it, he felt his heart pound and his soul tremble.

"Everyone, get out of here!"

Dali shouted loudly, while continuously casting the spell "All Curses End" to dispel the surrounding flames, attempting to fly away from the battlefield.

"Didn't you hear me say it's too late? You little foreigner, you can't escape! You'd better obediently enter my Ten Thousand Soul Banner along with that exceptionally high-quality evil soul!"

The ghost cultivator Mo Xuan continued to laugh wildly, spewing vile words.

Dali also sensed something was wrong. He tried to fly outwards, but he was actually sliding inwards. An immense suction force, targeting only the soul, held him back.

He could not allow his body and soul to separate, so his body was also pulled by the suction force towards the direction of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

If it weren't for the power of the guardian deity's spell and the protection of the orca guardian deity, as well as the power of the love-protecting magic, his soul would have been torn from his body and sucked into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner by now.

Fortunately, the three professors and Sirius were far enough away that they were outside the absorption range of the Soul Banner and were not affected.

However, due to the obstruction of the fierce fire, they were unable to provide support in the short term.

"Hahahaha! Looks like I had the last laugh! Damn little foreigner, I had to sacrifice all the remaining ghost servants in my banner to unleash this move! You have every right to be proud of yourself for pushing me to this point!"

Weren't you very concerned about the souls of ordinary people? Now they've all been saved, freed from my and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner's control, and gone to the underworld.

They all have to thank you! Your sacrifice brings happiness to countless wronged souls; your merit is greater than that of those righteous cultivators who hunted me down!

Your life has been worthwhile! Obediently enter my Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, and follow me in my campaigns, continuing to shine brightly!

Ghost cultivator Mo Xuan stood in the air, holding the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, loudly proclaiming the villain's victory declaration.

He was not only venting his resentment at previous setbacks through words, but also using a bewitching, demonic cultivation technique to undermine Dali's will to resist.

"You think you can take me by the nose?"

Dali suddenly turned around on his own initiative, his mental and physical will remaining completely unaffected by the protection of the cheat system.

He stared at Mo Xuan in mid-air with his cold eyes and said in a cold voice, "The suction force of your tattered banner shouldn't last long, right?"

"I still have four strong teammates on the perimeter. If this drags on, you're doomed!"
