Chapter Thirty-Five: Pursuit and Slaughter

  "Why is he making things so difficult for a driver?" I asked Shitian quietly after getting on the car, as Zehong was sitting in front and Shitian was beside me.

  "Taxis here like to rip people off, we've been unhappy for a long time. Whenever we see them, we take revenge on them." After Shengteng told me this, I understood that taxi drivers are all like this now - either they don't use the meter or they cheat outsiders, and those who get cheated can't find a way to get their money back. Knowing the reason, I quietly watched as Zehong gave the driver a hard time.

  "Zehong, how much longer?"

  "It'll be a few hours." "Hey, drive properly!" After seeing Ze Huan respond to me and then go back to being difficult with the driver again, he said there were still a few hours left, so I might as well sleep for now. I closed my eyes... but somehow couldn't fall asleep.

  Suddenly! I was thrown out, "What's going on!" I hadn't said anything yet when I heard Ze Hong yell this.

  "I... I think I hit someone!" The driver's voice was trembling, and his legs were shaking too. Hit someone? I got out of the car, and Ze Heng and the others followed me. "Where did the person come from?" I walked around the car in a circle, but there wasn't even a drop of blood! "Brother, it seems like... there's a ghost..." Shi Teng whispered to us.

  "Has it arrived? Let's go, get on the car first, as long as we reach Qinling, nothing will happen." So soon they've caught up? "Driver, no matter what you see, just drive past, if someone gets hit, I'll take responsibility." Ze Heng said to the driver after we got on the car. "J-just...already hit...someone..." Seeing the driver's expression was also quite pitiful. "Go faster! I say it didn't happen, then it didn't!" Ze Heng shouted directly into his ear, scaring him so much that he trembled and stepped on the gas, rushing out.

  "Don't drive so fast! What if we need to make a sharp turn!" I was getting nauseous from the driver's speed, it was too fast. I looked at the speedometer and it had already reached 90! But the driver seemed crazy and didn't listen to me, continuing to step on it. "Drive slower!" Ze Heng also shouted out, but the driver just ignored us, wouldn't he be scared silly?

  A white shadow appeared in front, a person standing not far from the car, that person facing us and waving at our car! Without looking, I knew it was a ghost. "Driver... crash..." I saw Ze Heng about to remind the driver to drive straight over, but before he finished speaking, the driver stepped on the gas and drove forward. "Good job!" Ze Heng even praised him.

  That ghost was rushed by us, and I saw it being hit by the car and flying away. "Haha, I've been driving for almost 20 years, but I've never felt so exhilarated!" The driver's eyes were wide with excitement, "Is he crazy?" I was also scared by his appearance, and asked Shitian, who looked just as helpless as me...

  I don't know how long the driver had been driving, but I saw two people standing in front of the high beam headlights. This time it was really a person! "Go ahead, go ahead!" The driver muttered to himself. "Master, that's really a person!" I advised him kindly, "It's okay, driver, go ahead!" Ze Hong kept encouraging the driver...

  It's going to crash! I've never seen someone get hit by a car before, so I closed my eyes. But then there was no sound at all, and those two black-robed figures dodged out of the way! When I turned around to look at them, I saw that they were still smiling. Why were they smiling? "Driver, stop quickly!" Ze Heng shouted, rushing over to turn the steering wheel and stepping on the brakes with one foot! The car felt like it was going to flip over, and Ze Heng spun the wheel several times before we finally managed to crawl out, including the driver who Ze Heng had pulled out.

  "Grass, how did you run to the cliff!" The mountain road we were walking on, if Ze Heng hadn't reacted suddenly, we would have fallen off the cliff directly! "Just now I clearly saw that it was a mountain road in front of us, why did it suddenly become a cliff!" I couldn't figure out why it changed suddenly!

  "It's a ghost!" Ze Hong exclaimed, "Ghost! Have all the ghosts come out? Ghosts have the ability to transform. I saw that driver faint and lie on the ground, and we three climbed up. "Not bad, not bad, you didn't even die from the crash." The two black-robed men appeared in front of us at some point. "Hehe, originally wanted to make your deaths more pleasant, but you actually escaped."

  "Who are you!" I shouted out, and these two took off their black robes.

  "The King of North, Long Buried"

  "Xi Wang, Nie Xun, you guys actually managed to kill Pan Tai, you still have some skills."

  "Zi River... It seems that the Yin Soul Sect has directly controlled the North King and West King. Fortunately, the South King didn't come, the South King is the strongest among the four dragon heads." Shì Téng whispered to me, and Ze Hòu also shouted out "You dare to cause trouble on my turf?"

  "Haha, if your master were here, that would be good. But your master is not here, what are we afraid of?" I saw that Nie Feng was smiling. "However, you killed Pan Tai, and we don't particularly want your lives. Pan Tai thought he was something, and even dared to try to gather the Ten Spirit Ghosts as his guardians, it's simply ridiculous."

  "Why are you chasing us!" It seems that the four major dragon heads also have contradictions, otherwise he wouldn't say so.

  "I heard that the Insignificant Powder has appeared in this world, and... it's on you?" The long-haired man narrowed his eyes and stared at me, making me feel a bit numb. "If you can hand over the Insignificant Powder, I'll let you all go."

  "Is it just for the Yun Yin powder? Then take it away, how can you give it to me?" If it's just for the Yun Yin powder, I'd rather not have this burden, but what they said next made me give up on reconciliation and start fighting directly.

  "How to give us... Hehe, want to pull out your soul and refine it into powder..." After listening to Chang Shang's words, I directly scolded him: "Damn it! I'll try pulling out your soul!" If he said he could take it away directly, that would be fine. Directly coming up and taking my soul!

  Chang Sheng was scolded by me and his face turned red with anger. "Hmph! That's what you get for wanting to die yourselves."

  "No more nonsense, just take their lives!" Nie Feng clenched his teeth on the side.

  "Really? Then let's try! Zikawa, find an opportunity to run to our sect and find our senior brother!" Ze Hong directly took off his clothes and slammed them on the ground, rubbing his fists. "Uh, how far is your sect?" "Several dozen kilometers." "Aren't you messing with me? You want me to run several dozen kilometers alive? And I don't even know the way!"

  "Hah, can you escape? Heaven is yang, earth is yin, seize the three souls and seven spirits, transform its shape, resent heaven, resent earth, resent people, three resents gathered in one body, born a fierce ghost that roams at night!" I saw Nie Xun directly release his life soul! That life soul was directly from his chest bursting out, is this an illusion? I saw Nie Xun's chest being torn open by that fierce ghost and running out!

  The fierce ghost appeared, and Nie Bing's chest was fine! I suddenly realized that I was getting closer to this circle. While Chang Shang looked on from the side without intending to participate. "Junior brother, protect Zi Chuan, Moonlight Great Blade stands, Green Dragon Floating Shadow appears, a righteous energy arises, all ghosts retreat!" Ze Hong wielded his knife and charged forward, facing the fierce ghost head-on.

  "Whoa!" I saw Ze Heng take a deep breath and directly chopped down at the fierce ghost, what's going on? I saw that the fierce ghost was scattered! It's impossible for the soul of one of the four great dragon heads to be so weak! "Ze Heng! Be careful!" I saw the scattered fierce ghost disappear and reassemble behind Ze Heng, pouncing towards him!

  "Present! Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Three Lives Five Elements, Golden Sword Shape, Slay the Evil!"

  "Big Brother! The righteous energy converges on the knife, the knife's energy gathers in one body, the ghostly shadow falls under the knife, and the ghostly shadow dies with the falling knife!" I and Shì Téng rushed to help Zé Hóng at the same time, but that fierce ghost had already bitten down! "Ah!" I saw Zé Hóng let out a long roar, planted his knife in the ground, and kicked one foot into the air. The knife rotated in mid-air and stabbed towards the ghost behind him. That ghost disappeared again, and even Shì Téng, who rushed over, stood still on the spot, sniffing the air...

  "Heh heh, stop joking around. This vengeful spirit is one that has survived through natural disasters and was finally killed by human hands! Three grievances accumulated in its body, its resentment taking shape. You guys don't have the skills to deal with this." Nie Bing seemed to be smiling proudly, as if this fierce ghost wasn't even on the same level as Meng Meng.

  But he didn't know that Shitian had a nose that could capture yin energy! "Senior brother, behind you!"

  "The four images of the Azure Dragon, the Eastern Palace returns to its position, one of the seven mansions, the dragon's shadow flies steadily!" I saw the wooden sword in Ze Heng's hand, the azure dragon that was struggling to break free, suddenly flew out and chopped down towards his back. "Roar!" The evil spirit's arm was chopped off and fell to the ground, dispersing immediately! "Puff!" Nie Biao was directly affected by the backlash and clutched at his chest. "How...how is this possible?!"

  "Sorry! Your soul is just a fierce ghost with yin energy!" Shì Téng said, striking another blow. "Pffft! Cháng Shāng, what are you still looking at?" Niè Bīng shouted, supporting himself on the ground. "Oh, I thought one of you could handle it, but... Ah, let me do it instead." Cháng Shāng said this while leaning against a stone, and just listening to him made me want to punch him!

  That fierce ghost shrank back and ran back into Nie Feng's body. Nie Feng sat on the ground, staring at us with a vicious gaze!

  "Heaven is yang, earth is yin. Humans are among the myriad spirits, born of heaven and earth, their souls return to heaven and earth, their po is produced by their mei, ghosts eat their po, mei transforms into form!" Is the ghost going to come out? I saw a red-haired female ghost floating out from the top of Chang's head, her face was pale but not so eerie, she looked like someone who was malnourished!

  "The demon appears, the illusion takes shape!" The demon grinned at us with its mouth open on top of Changsha's head.

  "Where is this?" That was my first reaction.
