Whoosh … The female ghost's slender body and red and white clothes appeared.
It drew a beautiful arc in the air.
Before the three of them could even blink, a deafening rumble followed!
The person who came … actually pulled the female ghost that they were helpless against up into the air, and then pressed her down onto the ground.
The dilapidated building smashed into the ground, creating a cloud of smoke and dust.
"Awesome?"
Amidst the smoke and dust, the three of them could only see a blurry figure grabbing the female ghost's head and slamming it into the ground with a loud bang.
"Come on!!"
Another sound. The three of them were stunned.
Savage.
Have you seen a cat and a mouse?
Do you know how Jerry beat Tom in fancy ways?
Left and right, left and right. That was how the figure was now.
The female ghost was tossed around in the man's hands like a kite with a broken string.
The man cursed as he fell, "You think you're so great just because you're following that Cao guy?!"
Boom!!
The floor trembled.
"SSS!!!" The female ghost screamed in extreme anger and pain. She clawed at the air with both hands, but to no avail.
"You still dare to resist?"
Boom!
"Conference room?
Protection fees?
Against the core values of socialism? "
Boom!
Cracks started to appear on the floor, and the female ghost started to scream hysterically.
"Do you think you're part of the underworld?
Don't you know that the Chinese underworld doesn't end well?! "
Boom!
Boom boom!
Under the trio's dumbfounded gazes, dust flew everywhere. Several minutes later, the shadow kicked the female ghost to the corner of the wall. "Were you there that night?
I've never been looked at like this in all these years!
If you can't find a big one, I'll beat you to death! "
"Sssss!!!"
The female ghost slammed into the wall. She screamed and crawled to the ceiling like a spider. Her head was about to explode.
Streaks of blood covered his head, making him look even more terrifying.
Dark red blood dripped down like a small stream as he gnashed his teeth and said, "Who … are you?!!"
The other three also struggled to open their eyes.
Who was it?
Such strength … is at least that of an Operative-class expert!
And it was obvious that he was much stronger than the female ghost!
No … it was more like the suppression of the food chain.
There's such an expert in the City of Salvation?
Whoosh … As the dust settled, the three of them fell silent for a moment when they finally saw the figure of the man in front of them.
Camouflage uniform, just like them.
The only difference was that the other party was wearing a mask.
The mask was nothing.
More importantly … this was Ultraman Tiga's mask …
Are they thinking that you're here to fight small monsters?
"Who am I?" Ultraman sneered and pulled off his clothes.
Under the camouflage uniform was a black short-sleeved shirt with three large white words on it.
"Call me daddy!"
The corners of their eyes twitched.
That was not all. Ultraman pulled down his camouflage, revealing a paragraph of text on his back.
"Don't provoke me, it's annoying!"
The female ghost fell silent.
This style … why does it seem so different from Lord Cao's elegance and nobility?
"Refreshing." Ultraman let out a long sigh of relief. His mood, which had been crushed by Arthis previously, was suddenly lifted.
He said to the three of them, "You guys go down, lest you disturb me."
The three of them looked at each other.
The square-faced young man bowed almost ninety degrees, cupped his fists, and said in a deep voice, "Which senior helped us?
I am … "
"We'll talk about it later. Let's go!"
Ultraman waved his hands impatiently. Don't you have any sense of propriety at all? My blade is already thirsting for blood, and you're still trying to be polite with me?
The three of them fell silent for a moment, and then bowed in unison, "Words cannot express our gratitude!"
With that, they immediately left.
Silence.
Only Ultraman and the female ghost remained on the rooftop.
Unlike the female ghost who had taken the initiative to attack earlier, she didn't move this time.
Instead, she tried to change her position constantly. For some reason, she could sense a terrifying aura emanating from the other party.
She was a newborn ghost, and she had never experienced the era when Hell's words were the law.
However, the pressure of the food chain wasn't something that could be overcome by cultivators of the same realm.
Ultraman slowly took off his mask.
Qin Ye's face was revealed.
The wind from the unfinished building ruffled his bangs. He ran his fingers through his hair and sighed through gritted teeth, "Comfortable."
The resentment in his heart finally eased a little. He took out the soul sphere and placed it beside him, before smiling at the female ghost, "Do you know something …"
"It's all because of you bastards!
I've been looked down upon like a maggot! "
"That damned old hag might have a venomous tongue, but her words are still reliable.
That's right … since I can't avoid it, I'll have to learn to adapt. Why don't I … start with you? "
"You're not going to answer?
I'll take it that you've agreed … "
With a loud bang, Yin energy surged from his body, and his Hell's Emissary robes appeared on his body. The demonhead saber in his hands began to glow with two spots of green flames.
It was far more demonic than the female ghost.
The female ghost's pupils suddenly sharpened.
A feeling of fear began to grow in her veins.
It was a feeling that she had never experienced ever since she had become a ghost.
Hell, she was afraid.
SSS!!! She screamed and scrambled away like a madwoman.
Qin Ye didn't even look back as he gently stroked his demonhead saber, "I'll allow you to run thirty-nine meters first …"
"Thirty-nine … zero."
As soon as he finished speaking, the muscles on his arms bulged, and a dazzling saber light swept out like a waterfall. Qin Ye had been looked down upon by Arthis, and had been pressured by Cao Youdao!
This was venting.
He was venting with all his might.
BOOM!!
The ground several meters in front of him trembled. A crack appeared in the air, and the Yin energy in the surroundings began to converge madly into the crack.
The female ghost's body abruptly transformed into a cloud of Yin energy that sizzled with indignation as it dissipated.
Thirty-nine … zero …
Where's your middle number?!
Was it eaten by a dog?!
"I'd initially thought that I'd be able to count to thirty-nine, but I've discovered that venting my anger before putting on an act is better for my mental and physical health." Qin Ye sheathed his saber, and a stream of Yin energy flew over and entered his chest.
His proof of identity as an Emissary of Hell floated out, almost as though it were written in ink.
"One vengeful apparition killed.
20 merit points earned. "
"Current merit points: 40.
You're currently short of 160 merit points to become a Soul Hunter. "
As soon as these words were spoken, his proof of identity as an Emissary of Hell trembled slightly, and a stream of Yin energy erupted from it and flowed straight into the demonhead saber like a snake. A split second later, the eyes of the skull on the hilt of the demonhead saber suddenly erupted with green flames that rose several meters into the air!
The flames spread along the blade of the saber, before finally transforming into a long saber that was made of flowing fire.
"This is …" Qin Ye stared at the demonhead saber with great astonishment. He gently tugged at the blade, and a fine crack appeared in the air around the edge of the saber.
I've never been able to do something like this before!
"Yin energy can even cause the demonhead saber to evolve?" Qin Ye brandished the saber in his hand as though it were an extension of his own arm.
"It's not just the appearance of soulfire on the blade … its weight has also become lighter … No, it should be said that it's much more fitting to my body now.
Is this … a transformation caused by my advancement to the level of a Soul Hunter? "
Then, just as he was about to continue experimenting, he suddenly looked up in a certain direction.
Emissary of Hell …
And it wasn't just one … it was two Emissaries of Hell!
That's the direction of the next hunting zone … He suppressed the urge to continue experiencing the transformations in his body and dashed off in the opposite direction.
… …
Almost simultaneously, Cao Youdao of the Orchid Clubhouse was the first to open his eyes.
The Orchid Clubhouse was bustling with activity, but the humanoid paper effigy was the only one left standing beside him. The humanoid paper effigy carried a silver tray with a cigar and a glass of red wine on it.
Cao Youdao leaned back comfortably on the soft sofa and swirled the glass of red wine in his hand. After a long time, he finally spoke, "The first hunting zone has been breached."
The humanoid paper effigy looked up in astonishment. His facial features appeared incomparably twisted, "My lord … are you a cultivator from the mortal realm?"
"Who knows."
Cao Youdao massaged his temples, "Tonight, while we're searching for my lovely colleague, we can also take the opportunity to probe the Special Investigations Department's background.
The same goes for them. They're taking advantage of the opportunity to fend off my attacks to remove the thorn in their side.
But … isn't this a little too fast? "
"Zhang Chenghai wouldn't make a move on his own … Based on my understanding of the City of Salvation's defenses, the remaining cultivators would at best be on par with the first hunting zone.
Therefore … "
Tapping his fingers on the armrest of the sofa, he sneered, "Can I be sure that this is the last struggle of my reckless former colleague who refused a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit?"
"Only Emissaries of Hell are able to exert absolute dominance over ghosts of the same cultivation level."
The humanoid paper effigy responded respectfully, "My lord, does that mean … he's trying to break through to the Soul Hunter realm?"
"Dream on!" Cao Youdao sneered as he picked up a cigar and lit it up.
Then, he exhaled a puff of smoke, "How dare a lowly Emissary of Hell like a maggot fail to appreciate my kindness.
Doesn't he know that without Hell's Records, he'll never be able to be promoted even if he achieves the required amount of merit points? "
His eyes burned with passion as he stared at the huge pit below, "I'm the only one in this world who can become an Anitya Hellguard, or even an Abyssal Prefect or even a Yama-King!"
Meanwhile, beneath the city hall, Zhang Chenghai and everyone else were stunned.
The first hunting zone had been breached!
Silence.
Not a single person spoke.
Seconds later, Zhang Chenghao turned around and bellowed, "Quick!
Let's see when the first hunting zone is breached!
Who's breached it?!
Who's there?! "
"They're already out."
A man in a white lab coat stood up and reported, "Ten minutes ago … Ten minutes ago, an Operative-class entity erupted on Shuncheng East Street.
It practically wiped out the vengeful apparition in the first hunting zone.
The interns there are AC/4742 – 4744, and they're the three fastest students in the City of Salvation this year. "
Zhang Chenghai's eyes flickered, "They're no match for that vengeful apparition.
It's already good enough that they can protect themselves … Where's Elder Mei? "
"Elder Mei is currently at the fourth hunting zone on Fragrant Grass Street. Mr Zhang, with all due respect, Elder Mei isn't a match for the vengeful apparition in the first hunting zone either.
This person … we suspect that he's an Emissary of Hell. "
No one dared to believe what he had just said.
Emissary of Hell …
It was only after embarking on the path of cultivation that they finally understood how difficult it was to advance to the next level.
Even Zhang Chenghai, who was currently fifty-four years old, was only a Soul Hunter. It would be a miracle if he could even become a Hellguard in his lifetime.
An Emissary of Hell?
Alive?
Zhang Chenghai drew a deep breath, "Contact the leader of AC/4742 immediately. I want to speak to them right now!"
