Chapter 176: Yang Jian Makes His Move
Time space stopped for an instant.
A pair of eerie eyes turned.
Time began to flow backwards.
The severed body flew up, then reconnected.
The three quickly recovered under the reversal of time.
The moment their bodies recovered, time suddenly resumed flowing.
The three stood intact on the rooftop.
“Go!”
Lin Qian roared lowly.
Without any nonsense, the three quickly ran towards outside the town on the rooftop.
Plop, plop~!
On the street, one person after another was cut in half at the waist, then fell to the ground.
There were terrifying fierce ghosts that, even when dismembered, stood up instantly.
But what greeted them was even more terrifying dismemberment.
The three did not dare to stop.
But the triggering of the medium was far faster than they could run.
Human heads rolled down one after another.
“Lin Qian!”
Ye Zhen and Fang Shiming shouted loudly the moment the heads fell.
Even at this moment, Lin Qian’s head was about to fall.
But Lin Qian still activated restart at this moment.
The third time.
This was the third restart he had activated in a short time.
The three’s heads recovered in the blink of an eye.
The three continued to rush towards outside the town.
“No, without ghost domain, we can’t run out at all.”
Fang Shiming shouted.
“Ghost Candle!”
“That cleaver has lost control, attacking all existences indiscriminately, inevitably, that Ghost Blowing Lamp ghost must also have been attacked.”
“Or, the one blowing the lamp is that cleaver itself.”
Hearing this, Fang Shiming and Ye Zhen wasted no words and directly took out ghost candles and lit them.
To pursue insurance, the two lit two ghost candles at the same time.
Eerie candlelight lit up instantly, dispelling the darkness.
But at this moment.
The instant the ghost candle lit up, a cracking sound rang out.
The candle in Fang Shiming’s hand directly burst into flames, the entire candle burned to the end, then extinguished.
Seeing this scene, Fang Shiming’s eyes were horrified.
Fang Shiming suddenly looked up at Lin Qian.
Lin Qian stared fixedly at the ghost candle in Ye Zhen’s hand, the three’s movements did not stop, still sprinting wildly on the rooftop buildings.
Suddenly, after three seconds, the cracking sound rang out again.
The candle in Ye Zhen’s hand visibly burst into flames, then extinguished.
“Three seconds!”
“Stop!”
Lin Qian commanded lowly.
Fang Shiming and Ye Zhen stopped immediately, but quickly took out two ghost candles and lit them directly.
“Only three seconds of buffer time, Fang Shiming, you take ten candles and head straight outside the town.”
“I’ve calculated, at most fifteen seconds for a round trip.”
“We’ll wait for you thirty seconds, if you don’t return in thirty seconds, it means we can leave the town, if you return, it means we can’t get out.”
Hearing this, Fang Shiming instantly understood what Lin Qian meant.
He wasted no words, turned around and rushed towards outside the town.
Supernatural wrapped around his body, wind pushing from behind.
Fang Shiming’s speed had long surpassed normal human speed.
Fang Shiming bore great danger to scout the way for them.
Lin Qian took out another ghost candle and lit it directly.
“If we can’t get out, we must find a way to restrict that cleaver.”
Lin Qian said at extreme speed.
Puff~!
The ghost candle burst into flames without warning.
Lin Qian calmly took out another ghost candle and lit it.
Ghost candle consumption: one every three seconds.
Once not continued, instant death.
“What’s the situation with that cleaver?”
“Why did the cleaver lose control as soon as you controlled that bamboo tube?”
Ye Zhen also said at extreme speed.
“No time to explain too much, I can only say that the bamboo tube suppresses that cleaver.”
“Every killing is the bamboo tube releasing suppression.”
“The most ferocious here is that cleaver!”
Puff~!
The ghost candle was consumed again, Ye Zhen took the ghost candle and lit it anew.
His expression was extremely grave.
“So, our target shouldn’t be that bamboo tube, but that cleaver.”
Ye Zhen said.
Lin Qian shook his head, “Ghost Performer has only one, it’s the bamboo tube.”
“That cleaver does not belong to Ghost Performer.”
“But what you said is not wrong either.”
Lin Qian stared in the direction outside the town.
Fang Shiming’s figure was already out of sight.
But it wouldn’t be long before they knew the result.
The ghost candles were constantly being consumed.
At this moment, outside the town.
Fang Shiming saw the road out of the town.
His speed instantly increased.
Without any accident, he rushed out of the town.
And just as Fang Shiming breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly realized.
He was still inside the town.
Seeing this scene.
Fang Shiming’s expression changed.
And at this moment, the ghost candle in his hand puffed and burst into flames.
Without any hesitation, Fang Shiming turned and left.
Lin Qian’s guess was correct, they couldn’t get out of the town.
“Unlucky, unlucky!”
Fang Shiming’s speed was even faster.
Almost comparable to traveling with ghost domain open.
The moment Lin Qian and Ye Zhen saw the eerie green candlelight from that distant building.
They knew in their hearts that the worst result had appeared.
“Go!”
Lin Qian tossed a few red ghost candles towards the rapidly approaching candlelight, then directly headed with Ye Zhen towards the opera stage location.
Several ghost candles were quickly caught by Fang Shiming.
One every three seconds frequency, they couldn’t hold out for long.
And just as they rushed back to the opera stage, planning to try detaining that cleaver.
Outside the town.
Liu Ping looked worriedly at the town before him.
In his eyes, the town was shrouded in a gloomy darkness.
Looking down from high altitude, the shape of this darkness extremely resembled a cleaver, a Dragon Head Cleaver.
At this moment, at the town entrance, a wedding reception team was eerily stopped at the town entrance.
The other side seemed to have no intention of entering.
As if they also knew the town was very dangerous at this moment.
“What to do with this matter?”
Liu Ping frowned.
He didn’t dare enter this town now either.
Countless stars in the sky, but if entering inside.
He would definitely suffer a huge loss.
He might even be cleaved to death inside.
“Liu Ping, let’s discuss something?”
A familiar voice rang out.
Liu Ping’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“What matter?”
He knew who was talking to him.
It was Yang Jian.
“Lin Qian and the other three did something very stupid, they detained a ghost that could suppress another ghost, destroying the delicate balance on the opera stage.”
“They also know that now, even returning the thing is of no avail.”
“This was originally the source ghost’s scheming.”
“You entering now would also result in death.”
“Currently, most ghosts in this world have been pulled into the ground, a terrifying fierce ghost is being incubated.”
“Lin Qian and the others accidentally did something very right.”
“Ye Zhen incidentally detained that fierce ghost wearing a red and white wedding dress.”
“Otherwise, something even more terrifying would appear.”
Liu Ping’s frown deepened, “What exactly do you mean.”
“No meaning, you exchange with me, you guard this red mirror, once the mirror heals, you must immediately shatter it.”
Hearing this, Liu Ping’s pupils shrank, “So all the ghosts here gathered in the same place because you shattered that mirror.”
“Otherwise?”
“If not for me, that source ghost would have started moving freely long ago.”
“Precisely because I shattered the mirror, that ghost cannot trigger the killing pattern.”
“Otherwise, how could that ghost stay in place, waiting for you to attack?”
Hearing this, Liu Ping fell somewhat silent.
“What exactly is your purpose.”
Liu Ping fundamentally did not trust this Ghost Yang Jian.
The other party was not human at all, just a ghost with wisdom.
“Purpose?”
“Just want to survive.”
“After all, Lin Qian and the others went to great lengths to get me out, yet I could do nothing, that would simply waste my god-like methods.”
“You exchange positions with me, I enter the town to help Lin Qian and the others deal with the fierce ghosts inside the town.”
Liu Ping’s expression fluctuated.
“Why should I believe you?”
Liu Ping had no reason to believe Yang Jian.
After all, the other party had previously wanted to seize the ghost in his body.
“You have no choice.”
The next moment, Liu Ping’s vision blurred, and when he reacted, he was already standing before a shattered red mirror.
The mirror emitted dense yin coldness, the shattered parts slowly healing and reassembling.
And at this moment.
Outside the town.
Yang Jian moved his neck, holding a pitch-black spear, swept it.
Ghost domain was directly torn open with a rift.
Yang Jian strode towards inside.
And as the other party entered the town.
Instantly, pitch-black hands emerged from underfoot, grabbing at Yang Jian.
Yang Jian lowered his head slightly, underfoot, terrifying floods instantly spread.
“False supernatural, although replaced with real ghosts in many places, still some gap.”
“Not enough to support my survival.”
Ghost Lake spread, Yang Jian stepped on Ghost Lake, carried by Ghost Lake towards the town center.
It seemed not purely here to help Lin Qian and the others.
Ghost Lake spread towards surroundings, directly drowning fierce ghosts encountered along the way.
“Many ghosts, but ghosts similar to the supernatural in my body are too few.”
Yang Jian’s gaze flickered, “Could it be, really have to go that far?”
It sighed, planning to take it one step at a time.
“Go ahead first.”
Yang Jian instructed.
A ferocious black-qi emitting ghost dog flashed away.
Yang Jian arrived carrying extremely terrifying supernatural.
Without any concealment.
Of course, it was also attacked by that eerie cleaver.
But the attack was ineffective against him.
Just restart once.
No pressure.
It was different from Lin Qian, the other had restrictions on restart, it did not.
Endless Graveyard.
Luo Qian’s brows were tightly furrowed.
“Ghost, Yang Jian…”
“This ghost thing has ill intentions.”
“However, with this ghost thing helping, Lin Qian and their survival chances will be greater.”
Luo Qian was somewhat worried.
After all, now that ghost place was incubating an extremely terrifying ghost.
He was now hesitating whether to act.
That was not something Lin Qian and the others could handle.
Luo Qian planned to watch a bit more.
If really no choice, him acting later would be no problem.
To be honest, he also couldn’t understand what that dead old employee was doing.
“…”
“Wanting to resurrect?”
In Da Zhou City, an old man narrowed his eyes slightly.
“Interesting, long time no such interesting thing.”
“You want to succeed, perhaps possible, but try see if I can smash you to death with one slap.”
The old man didn’t care at all, even if Lin Qian and all died inside, he wouldn’t care.
The matter wouldn’t get big.
Because no such possibility.
Inside the town.
Yang Jian stared at the ground.
He could feel that the fierce ghosts pulled into the ground were being used as puzzle pieces for one ghost.
Accelerating one ghost’s incubation.
What was this doing?
Yang Jian also wasn’t too clear, but he knew the ghost hidden underground was his target.
Whether he could leave here, and survive after leaving, all depended on this ghost.
But first, Lin Qian and the three could not stay here.
They had to go help stall that source ghost for him.
Yang Jian looked back outside the town.
Previously with him guarding that mirror, that source ghost couldn’t find him.
But now, Liu Ping went to guard, yet that ghost didn’t go find him, instead directly coming this way.
Very clearly, its arrival here made that ghost feel something wrong.
Had wisdom, but not much.
If it were him, he would absolutely go to Liu Ping’s side, not here.
As long as the mirror recovered, then hide it, everyone here including him would die.
Including him.
Yang Jian withdrew his gaze, the other was coming very fast.
But he would be faster.
Floods appeared, Yang Jian reached the town center at an extremely fast speed.
And at this moment, on the rooftop, three young people, each holding a red ghost candle, stared at him with hostile gazes.
Ghost candle bursts into flames every three seconds.
This consumption speed made Yang Jian heartbroken.
Indeed, not knowing how hard it is to make money when having a big family business.
Using strategic-level resources like they are free.
Also fortunate that Wang Xiao Ming is still alive, if dead, they could still use like this, Yang Jian would give the other a thumbs up.
“Yang Jian, what are you here for?”
Lin Qian tossed the ghost candle in hand, took out another and lit it.
“What for, of course to help you.”
“Otherwise, rely on you to handle the ghosts here?”
“Not exaggerating, in this era, aside from me and that old guy, no one can handle that ghost in its ghost domain.”
“Just like, you cannot detain Ghost Messenger in Ghost Messenger’s ghost domain, same reason.”
Yang Jian stood on the lake water.
The lake water surged with tides, lifting him up.
The three had grave expressions, but lighting ghost candles every three seconds appeared somewhat comical.
“From what you mean, you plan to take over here?”
Lin Qian narrowed his eyes staring at Yang Jian.
Yang Jian nodded, “I take full control here, source ghost is heading this way.”
“I need you to buy me some time.”
“You may not have noticed yet, underground a ghost is being incubated, according to my guess, this fierce ghost was made by the source ghost.”
“All those ghosts pulled underground became puzzle pieces for this ghost.”
“Once this ghost is incubated, what the consequences are, I’m not clear, but definitely very terrifying.”
“Moreover, this thing might be the same situation as Wish Ghost incubating Starving Ghost.”
Hearing this, Lin Qian’s gaze flashed.
“Though I don’t know if what you say is true or false, I can try to believe you.”
Yang Jian showed a smile, spear in hand slashed at the air.
A rift instantly appeared.
Outside the rift was outside the town!
