"I'm leaving. Watching these freaks and monsters only sours my mood," Liu Feng shook his head and turned to leave.
The ghost kings beside him, though filled with anger at Liu Feng's provocative words, could only remain silent. After all, if their leader didn't show any displeasure, how could they dare to step forward?
In the woods halfway up the mountain, the Hao Tian Quan trio had just arrived when they saw countless evil spirits surging down the mountain. The few evil spirits at the front spotted the Hao Tian Quan trio and shouted excitedly.
"It smells like food, it smells like food!"
"So fragrant!"
"Eat! Eat!"
Tang Junsheng's face changed drastically, unable to believe what he was seeing. "There must be at least over ten thousand evil spirits here."
Hao Tian Quan's expression turned serious. "We absolutely cannot let them descend the mountain, or the people within a hundred-mile radius will suffer immensely."
"With just the three of us, we can't possibly stop so many evil spirits," Tang Junsheng said, punching and destroying the first evil spirit that charged at them.
Following that, the second, third, and fourth. Countless evil spirits rushed towards the three like a man who had been single for thirty years seeing a beautiful woman in black stockings, charging madly.
"Fairy Sister and Brother Tang, you two go down the mountain and organize the defense. I'll hold them off for a while."
As soon as Hao Tian Quan finished speaking, he let out a roar, and the few small ghosts that lunged at him were sent flying. Tang Junsheng and Fairy Wang You exchanged a look and both ran down the mountain.
More and more evil spirits swarmed them, and Hao Tian Quan was surrounded, three layers deep.
"I want to eat him! I want to eat him!"
The surrounding evil spirits began to stir. Despite knowing Hao Tian Quan's power, they couldn't resist the enticing aroma. Hao Tian Quan looked at the dense mass of evil spirits surrounding him, his face filled with fighting spirit. "Beasts, come!!"
As Hao Tian Quan spoke, countless evil spirits surged forward, afraid of being too late to grab the meat. Hao Tian Quan swung his fist and smashed it into one of the evil spirits. Hao Tian Quan's punch was like a stone hitting tofu; the evil spirit that was hit died on the spot, turning into a wisp of white smoke that dissipated into the air. He then threw another punch, and another evil spirit was annihilated. One, two, three, four... wherever his fists landed, no ghost could survive.
At the foot of the back mountain, Zhang Xiaoqiang and others had driven the van here, waiting for Yu Daohang to come down.
"Qiangzi, do you smell the ghost energy?" Su Lai asked, looking in the direction of the mountain.
Zhang Xiaoqiang nodded, his expression solemn. From the moment the Yin energy from the mountaintop shot straight into the clouds, a powerful ghost energy had been drifting down.
"Grandpa Qiang, is my master in danger?" Zhou Fu, who was beside them, asked worriedly.
Zhang Xiaoqiang waved his hand confidently. "Impossible. If your master doesn't encounter a ghost king, he won't be in any danger. Even if he encounters one, he'll have more than enough time to escape if he can't win."
"It's food... it's food..."
Just then, an excited voice came from the woods. Su Lai and the others tensed up, looking in the direction of the voice. They saw a fierce ghost looking at them with excitement, muttering, "Food... food..."
Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at the fierce ghost, which had the appearance of a starving ghost reborn. He frowned. "Why does this evil spirit look like a starving ghost reborn?"
"He was originally a ghost," Su Lai, standing beside him, couldn't resist teasing.
Jokes aside, Su Lai and Da Hu also felt that this fierce ghost was different from the usual ones. Da Hu sensed something was wrong and instructed Zhou Fu and the others behind him, "Xiao Fu, you guys get in the car first."
Zhou Fu and the other four nodded and got into the van. Suddenly, the fierce ghost lunged at the three of them. Zhang Xiaoqiang reacted quickly, condensing numerous electric arcs in his hand and unleashing them. "Five Thunder Palm."
The Five Thunder Palm struck the fierce ghost squarely. A scream was heard, and then the fierce ghost dissipated into a wisp of white smoke in the air. Zhang Xiaoqiang felt something was amiss. "This fierce ghost feels a bit different, stronger than usual, as if it just escaped from the underworld." If it were an ordinary fierce ghost, it would have been completely annihilated the moment the Five Thunder Palm hit. As everyone knows, the underworld is the realm of ghosts, filled with Yin energy, so ghosts there would surely have higher combat power than those in the mortal world.
Su Lai shook his head, finding it unlikely. "The Ghost Festival has already passed, and the Ghost Gate is closed. How could ghosts from the underworld still come to the mortal world?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang nodded, a sense of unease growing in his heart. "Let's hope so."
In the woods, Yu Daohang was making his way down the mountain. He had already learned from a text message that the seal had been broken. Just as Yu Daohang was about to quicken his pace, he heard a cackling laugh from behind him. "So fragrant, so fragrant..."
Yu Daohang stopped, his hand instinctively reaching for the Kang Long Jian at his waist. *Swish!* As Yu Daohang drew the Kang Long Jian, he spun around abruptly, only to see a head lunging towards his neck. A hanged ghost!? Yu Daohang quickly swung the Kang Long Jian to strike the biting head. The head was extremely agile, dodging Yu Daohang's strike and lunging back.
"Brother, your head smells so good, can I take a bite?" Yu Daohang looked down. A little girl was lying on the ground, a sinister smile on her lips as she looked at him. It was less like a little girl and more like a corpse.
