Chapter 46: The Abandoned Fierce Ghost
I just had Headquarters go find trouble with you, and you’ve already come knocking?
Aren’t you guys being too petty?
“Letting you go that day was out of kindness, killing you today is to correct that mistake.”
The old man held the shovel, a hint of complexity in his eyes, but soon that trace of complexity was covered by indifference.
At this moment, Li Yong finally reacted, his face changing drastically. This terror level was off!
How come I can’t beat him!
The supernatural power on his body was actually being suppressed.
Li Yong was greatly shocked in his heart, forcibly opening his Ghost Domain and directly releasing the hand grabbing that arm.
Forcibly ending the confrontation.
In the Ghost Domain, the old man wearing a long gown and covered in corpse spots slowly lowered his arm.
Li Yong, hidden in the Ghost Domain, saw this scene and gritted his teeth with a creaking sound.
Damn it, attacked the wrong person and revealed my own killing pattern!
“Damn it!”
But suddenly, his ears twitched, and he fiercely looked toward Lin Qian’s direction. What did he hear?
Li Yong immediately grinned widely. Great, great, great, someone actually came to kill Lin Qian!
This is truly heaven helping me!
“Old man, how about we team up to take him down?”
Without any hesitation, Li Yong shouted directly at the old man.
The old man raised his eyes slightly upon hearing this, thought for a moment, and nodded. “Alright.”
To be honest, he was really worried this kid would escape.
Last time, the opponent had escaped from He Liansheng and the Faceless Person, which already showed his capability.
Now, in a short time, the opponent had gained a Ghost Domain, making his escape methods even more terrifying.
If not careful, he might let this kid escape again.
“You really don’t want me to live, huh.”
Lin Qian chuckled, but his heart was extremely gloomy.
Three Ghost Controllers, two ghosts, six Ghost Domains.
Heh, today’s lineup here is as luxurious as it gets.
Lin Qian alone had two Ghost Domains, Li Yong with one ghost had two Ghost Domains.
Taiping Ancient Town old man one Ghost Domain, Knocking Ghost one Ghost Domain, Ghost Performer no Ghost Domain.
“Looks like I’m facing four at once.”
The weird heterochromatic Ghost Eyes scanned the scene.
Currently, everyone and every ghost present had already triggered his killing pattern.
Lin Qian weighed his own strength against the people and ghosts on site.
Li Yong was the weakest, could be instantly killed.
Next was the Knocking Ghost, then the strongest was this old man.
However, there was another ghost on the way.
Lin Qian quickly thought in his mind about priority targets.
“One against four?” The old man was slightly stunned, but then realized. So this kid had included that Ghost Performer as well.
Speaking of which, that Ghost Performer was almost here.
“The ghost in this kid’s body is restless. Why is that?”
The old man sensed the supernatural power in Lin Qian’s body surging. This wasn’t him mobilizing the supernatural power; it was the supernatural power itself restless.
And Lin Qian was instead suppressing this restlessness.
Right, Ghost Performer.
The ghost this kid controlled was the Ghost Performer’s mask. Now with the Ghost Performer approaching, the opponent’s mask was originally the Ghost Performer’s puzzle piece.
The Ghost Performer was stimulating the revival of the fierce ghost in this kid’s body.
“Not planning to escape yet?” The old man slightly tightened his grip on the shovel in his hand. He was waiting, waiting for this kid to try escaping.
He knew the Ghost Performer’s methods all too well.
How the opponent escaped, how it killed, he knew everything clearly.
As one of the people who had raised the Ghost Performer, he had plenty of experience on how to evade and intercept it.
Now, he just needed to wait. Once the opponent prepared to escape, he could instantly kill them midway.
“You came specifically to kill me?” Lin Qian suddenly asked.
The Knocking Ghost behind him turned and slowly walked into the darkness, but everyone present knew the Knocking Ghost hadn’t left.
Because they hadn’t left.
But because they were all in Ghost Domains, no one had triggered the Knocking Ghost’s killing pattern, so the Knocking Ghost couldn’t attack them.
Yet because they had opened Ghost Domains inside the Knocking Ghost’s Ghost Domain, the Knocking Ghost could detect their presence by instinct.
It just couldn’t attack.
Now the Knocking Ghost was hiding in the Ghost Domain, waiting for the moment they left the Ghost Domain.
The old man shook his head. “Coincidence. I came here just to recover that ghost.”
“I never thought I’d run into you here.”
“Maybe it’s also heaven seeing my old age, wanting me to enjoy my later years, letting me meet you early.”
“And thanks to meeting you, otherwise I’d be a murderer.”
The old man narrowed his eyes slightly. If he hadn’t seen this kid today and let him develop, Taiping Ancient Town would surely be doomed.
In less than half a month, this kid had become so terrifying.
The ghosts on him were definitely no less than two!
“Luck?” Lin Qian murmured.
“Old man, how long are you going to chat?”
“I’m using my Ghost Domain, I can’t hold it much longer!” Li Yong, extending his own Ghost Domain, checked the lamp oil in the lamp inside his body. Half remained, but as the supernatural power was used and the flame burned, the lamp oil was rapidly depleting.
Speaking of it, one rooftop with five Ghost Domains was pretty outrageous.
“Old man, no more nonsense. Let’s suppress his Ghost Domain together, take him out quick. We team up to kill him, you recover the ghost you want, I get what I need.”
As he spoke, Ghost Fire suddenly ignited in the mist.
Seeing this, Lin Qian sneered inwardly. This guy was still hiding just now.
The old man also knew delay bred trouble; he didn’t plan to waste more time with the opponent.
The ghost he was waiting for had arrived.
First make this kid’s Ghost Domain fail!
Immediately, Li Yong and the old man extremely tacitly used their Ghost Domains to suppress Lin Qian’s two Ghost Domains.
Flames burned, acrid smoke spread, invading Lin Qian’s Ghost Domain.
At the same time, around the old man, a dim yellow Ghost Domain like loess appeared.
The Ghost Domain instantly crashed into Lin Qian’s Ghost Domain.
Lin Qian immediately felt his Ghost Domain being suppressed, its range rapidly shrinking.
He stood in the mist, sensing the suppressing Ghost Domain coming.
Suddenly, he chuckled, his pair of Ghost Eyes looking toward the rooftop door.
There, at some unknown time, a weird person was standing.
A person wearing a strange robe with long sleeves dragging on the ground, faceless.
The moment this person appeared, the Ghost Performer part of the supernatural power in Lin Qian’s body immediately began to revive.
But due to the Ghost Messenger’s terrifying suppression power, the Ghost Performer’s supernatural power didn’t revive instantly; instead, it was resisting the Ghost Messenger’s suppression power.
“Heh, I’m waiting for an opportunity. What are you waiting for?”
Lin Qian’s Ghost Domain suddenly opened a gap.
Immediately after, a terrifying scene appeared. Flames directly spread along that gap, and the dim yellow Ghost Domain invaded in the blink of an eye.
“Lin Qian, you’re asking for death, so don’t blame us!”
The moment of Ghost Domain Invasion, Li Yong and the old man directly entered Lin Qian’s Ghost Domain, appearing before him in an instant.
And at that very moment, the retreating Knocking Ghost suddenly appeared, slowly raising its stiff arm and knocking twice.
Thud, thud thud!
The weird knocking sound suddenly rang out. Supernatural Attack descended instantly!
Lin Qian instantly fell into an extremely dangerous death trap.
But Lin Qian didn’t care at all. “Alright, no more playing with you.”
Hearing this, the old man’s eyes flickered. “Planning to escape?”
He gripped the shovel tightly, ready at any time.
Li Yong’s face unchanged. “You think you can escape?”
“Escape?”
Li Yong’s pupils shrank fiercely, instantly turning back.
But the next moment, with a rip, two weird arms instantly tore open Li Yong’s stomach, then directly grabbed his neck.
Terrifying supernatural power assaulted instantly.
Yin wind howled, blowing toward Li Yong.
“Seeking death!”
Ghost Fire instantly wrapped around Li Yong’s body, directly engulfing the two Ghost Hands.
The Ghost Hands’ supernatural power was directly invaded. Li Yong sneered inwardly. He had already exposed his killing pattern, yet the opponent still dared to attack him—utterly stupid!
But in the next moment, Li Yong’s face changed drastically.
The old man holding the shovel’s face turned cold. “Seeking death, you think I don’t exist?”
The old man raised the shovel and swung forward. The medium triggered instantly, death attack descended—this attack was guaranteed to hit!
Hit then death!
But the next moment, the old man’s pupils shrank fiercely. “How is this possible!”
Only to see in the forward Ghost Domain, Lin Qian’s head directly torn open, half his head falling.
Massive mist instantly burst from Lin Qian’s head.
The weird mask disappeared.
A corpse—no, a ghost remained in place, taking his attack.
At the same time, flames suddenly wrapped around this ghost.
The fierce ghost fell, the mist vanished in a blink, leaving a cold, rampant corpse without half its head being devoured by flames.
But soon, with the knocking sound, the flames on the corpse suddenly vanished, and rot weirdly grew on the corpse.
The old man stared deadly at this ghost. This was definitely a ghost!
At this moment, Li Yong’s expression was one of great shock. How was this possible!
The fierce ghost in his body was instantly suppressed.
Li Yong jerked his head up, looking toward the Ghost Performer.
The old man, as if by telepathy, also instantly looked toward the Ghost Performer’s position.
Just one glance, and his face changed drastically.
Only to see at the original Ghost Performer position, the Ghost Performer was still there, but now that terrifying weird Ghost Performer’s face had a terrifying mask.
The mask had sprouted a pair of weird heterochromatic Ghost Eyes at some point, and those heterochromatic eyes were now turning the same color.
The Ghost Performer’s terror level was rapidly rising.
This was visible to the naked eye!
A ferocious sharp mouth tore open from the mask, opening wide, blowing out gloomy terrifying yin wind from its mouth. In an instant, it extinguished the Ghost Fire on Li Yong.
The flames in Li Yong’s eyes extinguished bit by bit. The lamp in his chest, its lamp oil disappeared in large amounts as if poured out. In just one breath, the lamp oil in the lamp was completely gone.
The entire lamp directly went dormant.
Li Yong, without supernatural protection, saw the light in his eyes visibly dimming. “How… could it be… this… terrifying…”
Li Yong looked incredulously at the Ghost Performer, the last bit of light in his eyes disappearing.
And at the moment he lowered his head, a Ghost Performer in performance clothes wearing a weird mask directly tore open Li Yong’s body, fully emerging from inside him, holding in hand a lamp now without lamp oil.
“Old thing, your attack really hurts.”
“Even abandoning a fierce ghost to take the attack, I almost got killed by you!”
The Ghost Performer suddenly emitted a weird voice.
The old man’s face was ashen.
What kind of method was this? The opponent could actually abandon a fierce ghost to take the attack for him?
How was this possible!
“Interesting.”
Yin wind howled. The mask-wearing Ghost Performer, having reclaimed its seized supernatural power—not, Lin Qian—stared straight at the old man with a pair of pitch-black pupil-less eyes.
“Truly easy to control.”
Lin Qian sensed his current state.
The Ghost Performer was directly plundered and fully controlled by him. Then, because he abandoned Feng Quan’s mist, the Ghost Messenger’s suppression power fully acted on the Ghost Performer and Killer Ghost.
His fierce ghost’s restlessness stopped directly, and he completed his own killing pattern.
The performance clothes slowly disappeared, Lin Qian’s body appearing.
Supernatural power complete, he looked at the Ghost Performer that burst out from Li Yong’s body, holding Li Yong’s fierce ghost.
Only now did he understand how terrifying the Ghost Performer was.
If not for controlling the Killer Ghost, part of the Ghost Messenger’s supernatural power, and some other ghosts, he really couldn’t have suppressed the Ghost Performer to fully seize it.
Just now was quite risky. He didn’t directly use Ghost Domain to appear beside the Ghost Performer, but used the killing pattern to appear directly inside the Ghost Performer.
If his terror level was even slightly lower, he’d have been counter-controlled.
Fortunately, he didn’t underestimate the Ghost Messenger’s terrifying, mindless suppression power.
Killing pattern completed, terror level improved. Though he lost a ghost with a Ghost Domain, it didn’t matter.
He could take it back later.
His guess was confirmed today: the ghosts he seized could be pulled out of his body, and abandoning a fierce ghost wouldn’t break the balance of the fierce ghosts inside him.
Moreover, Lin Qian discovered something interesting: this ability of his to plunder fierce ghosts’ supernatural power seemed truly domineering.
But now wasn’t the time to think about that.
Li Yong taken out, his puzzle piece completed, terror level elevated.
Enemies reduced by two at once.
Next, just needed to clash with this old thing.
Lin Qian knew it would be hard for him to leave.
Just now, the old thing thought he was escaping and attacked instantly. If not for the Mist Ghost taking most of the attack, at least half his head would be gone now.
The opponent’s attack seemed to counter his escape methods.
“Kid, you’re truly a scourge. Can’t let you live today.”
That operation just now, this old guy who had lived half his life couldn’t even understand.
Not just couldn’t understand, couldn’t comprehend.
The old man dared not let this kid live any longer.
He had to admit, he felt a bit terrified. He’d overestimated this kid a lot, but still underestimated him.
“Can’t let me live?”
“Then come try if you can kill me.”
Originally Lin Qian thought to intimidate a bit—some fights could be delayed—but seeing this old thing’s intent, he wouldn’t stop unless he was killed today.
“Originally, for letting me go once before, I’d let you go once too. But since you’re seeking death, don’t blame me for not honoring the life-saving grace.”
Not far away, the Knocking Ghost old man raised his hand again.
Lin Qian glanced, his figure suddenly vanishing. “Still fucking knocking?”
“You gonna take responsibility for my knocking trauma?”
Lin Qian’s voice instantly appeared before the Knocking Ghost, then he raised a foot and directly kicked the Knocking Ghost in the chest.
Bang! Supernatural powers clashed instantly, then the Knocking Ghost was directly kicked flying.
Bang~!
The rooftop cement wall was directly smashed open, Knocking Ghost kicked off the building.
And before Lin Qian could retract his foot, a terrifying supernatural power suddenly assaulted.
The next moment, his body was split in two.
The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, gaze instantly falling on the Ghost Performer holding the lamp.
“Old thing, you really have no martial virtue, sneaking an attack.”
Lin Qian sensed the supernatural power in the lamp in his hand. Not low terror level, no wonder Li Yong was so confident.
But unfortunately, the opponent’s terror level wasn’t as high as his—not now, nor before.
The old man expressionless, Ghost Domain instantly covering toward Lin Qian.
Lin Qian unceremoniously countered with his terrifying Ghost Domain rushing at the old man’s Ghost Domain.
Without the Knocking Ghost stirring trouble, he could finally clash with this old thing without worry.
Had to say, the Knocking Ghost’s terror level was truly high. Just now he almost couldn’t overpower it.
If not for using the Ghost Messenger’s suppression power to briefly silence the Knocking Ghost’s supernatural power at the end, forget kicking it off the building—he’d have had to clash supernatural powers on the spot.
“Come, let me see what you old seniors are made of, if I can measure you!”
