Smoke and dust billowed at the scene, and the sky seemed to be covered by a black curtain, completely enveloping their surroundings.

This is a barrier to prevent outsiders from seeing their fight and to prevent their power from leaking out and harming innocent people.

This barrier was set up by Zhang Hao on the spur of the moment Zi Yue launched her attack, in order to avoid affecting the surrounding neighbors.

"I didn't expect there to be such an expert here. Old man, you're so old, but your mind is still sharp and your reactions are quite quick."

Zi Yue's body floated in mid-air as she walked down step by step, the air automatically condensing into transparent steps beneath her feet.

A wicked smile curled at the corner of his lips, and he exuded an aura of evil that sent chills down one's spine.

Zhang Hao's face darkened. This guy actually arrived so quickly!

It must have been during the instant Wei Yuze was frozen in place that Wei Yuze sent a message to the other party.

I didn't even realize it! I was so careless.

"I'm glad to have found a mortal here who can hold his own against me. Now, I'm going to get serious, old man, take this!"

Zi Yue crossed her arms and waved them, and purple condensed orbs instantly appeared out of thin air, each containing terrifying power.

The beads shot towards Zhang Hao like bullets, densely packed together.

Zhang Hao leaped up, shoved aside the umbrella to stop her from interfering, and then, like a nimble and lightning-fast bird, darted through the air, bullets whizzing past his body.

This elderly man was surprisingly agile, which even surprised Ziyue.

"You, the master of outlining human figures, it seems your attack isn't all that great after all."

Zhang Hao sneered.

Zi Yue, who had initially been just playing around, suddenly turned grim: "You're just an ordinary person who's no match for me, yet you dare to be arrogant in front of me? Do you really think I can't deal with you?"

After saying that, Zi Yue rushed over quickly. The bones of her five fingers grew into five sharp bone blades at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she stabbed them fiercely at Zhang Hao's chest.

A sharp and poisonous bone blade pierced his chest, but Zhang Hao was unharmed. The moment the blade struck his chest, he immediately used the Etherealization Technique, causing his chest flesh to instantly become air. No matter how he was attacked, this ethereal part would not be injured.

Zhang Hao quickly condensed a wisp of air into a huge ball and hurled it at the attacker.

With a loud "boom", Ziyue was almost blown away!
However, he managed to dodge it in time, though his clothes were slightly torn.

"Such a heavy evil aura! You are... an evil god? And it seems to be a powerful one at that! Now that I've encountered you, I will not allow you to wreak havoc on the world any longer! Prepare to die!"

Zhang Hao rushed forward and kicked the other man in the heart, but just as the kick was about to land, the man he hit instantly turned into a blur and disappeared from the spot.

It turned out that the evil god had already used the technique of teleportation, and what remained in the original place was just an illusory substitute.

Zi Yue's expression was cold: "I have to say, your strength far exceeds my expectations. However, old man, you should just die!"

Purple Moon quickly launched a fierce counterattack.

It seems that Wei Yuze's initial worries were not unfounded; any unexpected event could have completely ruined their plans.

If it weren't for Wei Yuze's meticulous investigation, their previous careful arrangements would have been ruined because of this old man.

However, experts of this old man's caliber are usually top-tier figures. Apart from Zhang Hao, whom he had encountered before, he had never heard of such a person in the world!

Where did this old man come from? Could it be that during the time he was sealed away, humanity had completely mastered the secrets of cultivation and improved their cultivation talent, to the point that experts of this level were no longer rare?

Impossible... If that were the case, his breaking through the seal and appearing in this world should have attracted the siege of those top experts, but he did not encounter such a situation.

Therefore, masters of this caliber are still extremely rare.

Zi Yue comforted herself, thinking that as long as she killed the old man, everything would be fine.

However, Zhang Hao would not let him have his way. In every confrontation, whether it was a counterattack or a defense, he seemed to have anticipated it in advance and did not reveal any obvious flaws or weaknesses.

Meanwhile, Han San and Wei Yuze, who were watching from the sidelines, had already started fighting. However, compared to the huge commotion caused by Zhang Hao and Zi Yue, their battle was more like a contest of magic between Taoist priests.

"You old hag, you do have some skills, but that's enough. If the King of Hell wants you dead at midnight, he won't let you live until dawn!"

Seeing that ordinary magical attacks could not kill the old woman, Wei Yuze's face darkened, and he grinned ferociously. Suddenly, he pulled out a calligraphy brush from his pocket.

Even Zhang Hao, who was in the middle of a fierce battle, instantly sensed the aura emanating from this calligraphy brush!

This is a judge's pen!
It was the judge's pen that Yama, the King of Hell, and Judge Lu had asked him to investigate in the human world!
Sure enough, the previous investigation was correct; this guy really does have the Judge's Pen, and the righteous energy surrounding the pen is becoming increasingly concentrated!

There is absolutely no trace of piracy or counterfeiting!

Zhang Hao had no doubt that the Judge's Pen that Wei Yuze had taken out possessed power comparable to the genuine Judge's Pen!
No, Han San is no match for Wei Yuze, who possesses the Judge's Pen.

Zhang Hao was extremely anxious and, disregarding his strength, suddenly unleashed a palm strike. The power of this strike was like a monstrous wave that suddenly surged up, seemingly about to sweep across the heavens and the earth.

Zi Yue dared not take this attack head-on; if he did, he would definitely be severely injured.

With a leap, Zi Yue shot into the sky like an arrow, jumping out of the attack range of the palm strike. She had no time to pay attention to Wei Yuze on the ground.

Taking advantage of this gap, Zhang Hao, despite his old age, was faster than a young man. He pushed off with his feet and rushed towards Wei Yuze like an arrow.

He was surrounded by the power of lightning. When he threw a punch, lightning bolts crashed down with a deafening roar, causing an explosion as they struck.

This deadly move was simply impossible to withstand. Wei Yuze didn't even have time to use the Judge's Pen before a bolt of lightning struck, numbing half of his body!

With a wave of his hand, Zhang Hao snatched the judge's pen from the other party's hand.

The moment the judge's pen was in his hand, Wei Yuze's expression changed drastically, and he lunged forward without hesitation, shouting, "Give me back my judge's pen!"

This man is insane! He's surrounded by lightning bolts right now; anyone who rushes in will be struck and turned to charcoal, yet he doesn't care... He's a madman!

Since the other party wanted to die, Zhang Hao decided to grant his wish!
However, just as he was about to launch his fatal blow, the purple moon in the sky rushed in like a whirlwind, skimming low and scooping up Wei Yuze who was charging towards him. Wei Yuze, now lifted up, weaved through the sea of ​​clouds and quickly disappeared within the barrier!
The evil god Ziyue had already broken through a corner of the celestial barrier when it soared into the sky, and was already prepared to escape.

The opponent's all-out speed left the unsuspecting Zhang Hao with nothing to do but watch them flee in the direction they were going and sigh silently.

At this moment, a presence emerged from the ruins. Zhang Hao turned his head and saw the Black and White Impermanence slowly walking out of the ruins.

"Why aren't you hiding down there and helping us out?" Zhang Hao asked with displeasure when he saw the two of them appear.

They're supposed to be the Black and White Impermanence, how dare they hide inside and watch Wei Yuze die? Even if it wasn't a life-or-death situation, if they came out and lent a hand, they could at least have dealt with Wei Yuze, right?
Black Impermanence and White Impermanence exchanged a glance. In the end, Black Impermanence, expressionless, forced an explanation for why he wouldn't come out to help.

"It's not that we're unwilling to take action, it's just that the other side holds the Judge's Pen. Although it's a counterfeit, it has a natural restraining power over us ghost messengers. If he were to write a judgment that would make us vanish into nothingness, we would truly be powerless to resist and could only obediently vanish into nothingness."

Zhang Hao had no patience to listen to this long-winded explanation, and thought to himself: Why don't you just say that you are cowards and afraid of trouble?

"You've come at the right time. Take this back and hand it over to Judge Lu. After all, it's a counterfeit, so it's better to destroy it."

Zhang Hao threw the calligraphy brush at them.

Black Impermanence hurriedly leaped up and caught the pen in a flustered manner.

"Thank you, Mr. Han."

"Oh, right, wait a moment, I have something I need you to do."

Zhang Hao spoke casually, then pointed to the collapsed storage room in the courtyard. With a flick of his finger, a streak of light shot out, quickly drawing a talisman in the air. Zhang Hao muttered incantations, reciting a few phrases of a corpse-driving technique.

In the collapsed ruins, two bodies stood upright on the ground, with tiles and bricks that had hit them sliding off.

These are the remains of the elderly couple.

"You can bury this elderly couple while you're at it, and then take them to the underworld to be reincarnated."

Black Impermanence and White Impermanence bowed and said, "Mr. Han, rest assured, leave this small matter to us."

The old man and woman stared wide-eyed with curiosity when they first saw Black Impermanence and White Impermanence.

In various ghost stories, Black Impermanence and White Impermanence are soul-reaping messengers who take the soul of each person to the underworld after they die.

The elderly couple were very obedient and followed the Black Impermanence and White Impermanence. Before leaving, they did not forget to thank Zhang Hao.

"Thank you, young man! If we are destined to meet again in the next life, I will do everything in my power to repay you!"

The old lady chimed in, "Young man, thank you so much, and best of luck!"

They waved goodbye, and Zhang Hao said a few words to them. Only after they had resolved their own problems did they leave.

After resolving these matters, Zhang Hao called over Old Zhao's son and asked him a few questions. As expected, Zhao Jin also felt his death was suspicious, but he knew nothing else. Zhang Hao simply sent him off to chase after the Black and White Impermanence.

Meanwhile, Chen Anshui was practicing his breathing and spellcasting techniques inside the house when he heard footsteps at the door. He turned around and saw that it was Mr. Han and Han San who had returned.

The two men's expressions were hard to read, so Chen Anshui paid special attention to them, paused his practice, put away the notebook, and came over to pour them tea.

"Mr. Han, how's the progress on your end? Is everything going smoothly?"

Han San shook his head, while Zhang Hao picked up his teacup and slowly took a sip: "It's not going well. They are more difficult to deal with than I imagined, especially Wei Yuze. This guy is probably a complete antisocial person at heart, crazy and reckless."

Such a crazy and reckless person, especially one who is also rich and powerful in human society, is indeed very difficult to deal with upon careful consideration.

Han San suddenly spoke up: "Our matter here is temporarily settled. Shouldn't we tell President Chen?"

Zhang Hao then realized that he hadn't told President Chen that the matter had been resolved.

"Han San, tell President Chen. But thinking about it carefully, President Chen's crisis is not completely over. As long as Wei Yuze is alive, President Chen doesn't know when he will face his revenge... This is indeed a problem."

Han San glanced at Chen Anshui: "Isn't he practicing? We can send him to protect President Chen. In case of any danger, it will also help him hone his skills."

While practicing his corpse-driving techniques, Chen Anshui also honed his physical skills, making rapid progress. He also possessed considerable talent in academics.

Han San felt that rather than letting him stay at home and work in isolation, it would be better for him to train himself while carrying out missions.

“That makes sense.” Zhang Hao turned to look at Chen Anshui. His assistant wasn’t of much use for the time being, but since he was idle anyway, it wouldn’t hurt to help Jiang Chen with the investigation.

Upon seeing that a task had arrived, Chen Anshui immediately stood up: "Mr. Han, please feel free to assign me any tasks, and I will do my best to complete them."

Zhang Hao was very satisfied with this positive attitude: "Okay, in that case, go to Jiang Chen's company and protect their boss. Just say that you are that old man's apprentice and will be responsible for protecting Wei Yuze until he is completely dealt with."

Chen Anshui accepted the task and immediately went out.

On his way to Mr. Chen's company by taxi, he sent a message to Jiang Chen, explaining that he was on his way and outlining his plan to provide close protection for Mr. Chen.

In his office on the top floor of the company headquarters, General Manager Chen had just finished a meeting and was pacing back and forth alone.

He frowned, his face full of worry, and he would take out his phone every now and then to check for new calls or messages.

However, all around was silent and still, as if he were the only one there, anxious and worried.

So much time has passed, why haven't we heard anything from that old gentleman yet? Could something have happened to him?
The old gentleman is quite old; could he have been secretly plotted against by that cunning and ruthless old fox, Wei Yuze?

Upon closer examination, this possibility does exist!

If Wei Yuze is not subdued and even manages to kill the old man, then wouldn't I, as the unlucky guy whose luck and life force were drained by him, be doomed?
Thinking of all these terrible consequences, he became increasingly uneasy and kept sighing.

Please send me some good news soon!

"Mr. Chen, that old gentleman sent someone to see you. Would it be convenient for you to let us in now?" (End of Chapter)
