Chapter 043: Going Back Home

Wang Bo knew that hellfire could burn flesh and soul.

So when he struck the Ghost Rider, he first reinforced his fists with magic, and since his body was originally made of steel, he dared to punch the Ghost Rider without worry.

And the facts proved that Wang Bo's preparation was indeed necessary.

Because hellfire was indeed powerful; even with all his preparations, Wang Bo's skin was still scorched.

Without preparation, his flesh would probably have been burned away by now.

But now, after absorbing sunlight, the scorch marks quickly disappeared.

Without a word, he raised his fist and smashed it down on the Ghost Rider.

Bang!

Another heavy punch landed on the Ghost Rider's head. The immense impact caused more cracks on its skull, and even the Ghost Rider itself was stunned.

Bang, bang, bang... Wang Bo didn't dare stop. His fists rained down relentlessly, each strike with all his strength.

The dull thuds exploded like thunder.

The ground collapsed layer by layer, cracks spreading wildly, affecting nearby walls and palaces. The earth shook, dust fell in showers, and many palace walls gained cracks, tottering.

Bang!

After who knows how many punches, Wang Bo finally shattered the Ghost Rider's head with one blow.

Shards of the skull flew everywhere.

But this was clearly useless. In just a few seconds, the Ghost Rider's head regenerated. Such an undying body was far too powerful.

Aside from God, probably no one could kill the Ghost Rider.

Not even angels or demons.

The recovered Ghost Rider exploded with hellfire, sending Wang Bo flying. After getting up, it raised its hand and summoned a rain of hellfire.

The fire rain fell from the sky, hitting the ground and causing massive explosions.

Boom!

In an instant, flames shot into the sky, bright as a small sun exploding on the ground. The air boiled, and a terrible hot wind blew. Many people, without even time to scream, had their body moisture evaporated, turning into mummies.

The subsequent shockwave spread over a hundred meters, reducing palaces, flowers, trees, everything in this earth-shattering explosion to dust.

The entire Daming Palace fell into chaos.

Many people in Chang'an looked up, seeing the blinding light from the palace and hearing the earth-shattering explosion.

Countless people were bewildered, not understanding what was happening in the palace.

After the massive explosion, Wang Bo walked out from the flames. The hellfire had not only burned off his clothes but also much of his flesh.

Some hellfire, like a clinging curse, still burned his flesh.

Fortunately, Wang Bo maintained the Ripple Breathing Technique and absorbed sunlight, coupled with the strong regenerative power of the Spartan bloodline, allowing him to recover quickly.

But the pain did not disappear.

The excruciating pain just now nearly shattered Wang Bo's will to fight.

He was just an ordinary person, not used to such fierce battles. In all his fights, he had relied on his powerful physique to crush enemies.

Even the White Witch and Thor had not made Wang Bo so miserable.

The pain just now was truly unforgettable, even making him want to flee the battle. But in the end, he endured it. The boiling Spartan bloodline gave him immense courage.

Whoosh!

At that moment, a chain flew from afar, binding Wang Bo's body. A huge pulling force dragged him flying, the scenery on both sides receding rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, the Ghost Rider appeared before Wang Bo.

The Ghost Rider grabbed Wang Bo's face and roared, "Look into my eyes, sinner!"

"Look at your sister!" Wang Bo closed his eyes, tilted his head back, then used his body as a bow and his head as an arrow, shooting it fiercely at the Ghost Rider's head.

A crisp bang sounded, and the Ghost Rider was sent flying, crashing through wall after wall.

With a rumbling sound, a palace collapsed, burying the Ghost Rider.

"Did you really think I didn't know about the Penance Stare?"

The Penance Stare is the ultimate use of hellfire. Through the Ghost Rider's eyes, it directly burns the target's soul with hellfire. Even Daredevil, who is blind, cannot resist the Ghost Rider's gaze.

So Wang Bo closing his eyes just now was useless.

But fortunately, he reacted quickly and headbutted the Ghost Rider away, or the consequences would have been dire.

You see, the principle of the Penance Stare is that the Ghost Rider looks into the eyes of the guilty, seeing and making the target recall all the sins they have committed, causing their soul to feel all the pain they have inflicted on the innocent, thus achieving judgment and punishment.

Those with heavy sins are judged to death, while lighter ones have other effects. The power and effect of the Penance Stare also depend on the will of the Spirit of Vengeance.

So the Penance Stare has the dual effect of punishing the soul and reading minds.

Even someone like Wang Bo dared not claim he would be unharmed after receiving the Penance Stare.

The odds were too low.

A few seconds later, Wang Bo broke free from the chain's restraint, sneered, and quickly took out a set of clothes from his fourth-dimensional pocket. The hellfire had burned his clothes but not his fourth-dimensional pocket.

Then, Wang Bo raised his hand, and lightning shot from his fingertips, gradually forming a spear. As the Ghost Rider emerged from the ruins, he threw it with all his might.

The lightning spear, like a streak of light, pierced the Ghost Rider's chest in an instant and exploded.

Thunder boomed, like a shattered ball lightning, annihilating all matter, blowing the Ghost Rider to pieces.

But before Wang Bo could catch his breath, the Ghost Rider roared and regenerated.

An undying body was not just talk.

But Wang Bo was already prepared. The moment the Ghost Rider regenerated, he teleported behind it, grabbed its head, and slammed it to the ground.

"Artifact, quickly help me send the Ghost Rider back home!"

The Ghost Rider had an undying body; fighting it was futile. If the fight continued, the entire palace would collapse, everyone would die, and the Tang Dynasty would fall into chaos.

So Wang Bo could only choose one way—send it back home.

Fortunately, the artifact was powerful enough.

[No problem, host!]

Even though the Spirit of Vengeance had been implanted into Yang Guozhong's body, with the artifact's help, it still separated the Spirit of Vengeance and sent it back to the Marvel world.
