Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 148 Zhang Xianguang Arrives

"Whether it's a Buddha statue or a dried corpse, in my eyes, they're all the same—utterly pathetic little devils!"

"Kill you!"

Ye Zhen's expression remained cold and unchanged.

The change in the surrounding environment and the transformation of the tall Buddha statue into a bizarre mummified corpse seemed to have no effect on him. Ye Zhen's words were still full of confidence, and he did not take the fierce ghost in front of him seriously at all. He had an invincible belief in his heart.

At the same time, the sound of a sharp blade cutting through space rang out, and Ye Zhen disappeared from his original spot, appearing strangely in front of the mummified corpse. He swung out the bizarre and twisted longsword in his hand, slashing down at the terrifying mummified corpse.

This sword must not be touched; anyone or anything that touches it will immediately crack!

However, at this moment, the eerie mummified corpse sitting on the altar moved. One of its hands held a large black bell, while its other cold, stiff, and withered hand, which looked like skin and bones, suddenly stretched out and grabbed at Ye Zhen's body.

"Ding!"

In mid-air, Ye Zhen's sword collided with the ghost's palm.

All of a sudden.

The confrontation between the two has begun!

This was not a contest of strength, but a contest of supernatural power. The result was almost instantaneous. The strange longsword in Ye Zhen's hand immediately bent, seemingly unable to block one of the terrifying ghost's hands.

"Nani?!"

Upon seeing this, Ye Zhen's eyes widened, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.

However, the terrifying mummified corpse was not unaffected either; cracks also appeared on its palms.

The cracks were like the fissures on porcelain, dense and numerous, then spread out like a spider web, as if the hand would shatter into countless fragments like fragile porcelain at any moment.

However, this did not happen.

The eerie mummified corpse sitting on the altar blurred for a moment, then an unknown supernatural power surged forth, and the cracks on its palms quickly disappeared, until only one crack remained in its palm, which was the spot where it had come into contact with the longsword in Ye Zhen's hand.

next moment.

The ghost's other hand also moved.

Its withered hand moved swiftly, and along with this movement, the large black bell it held also flipped.

"Boom~!"

moment.

The eerie, muffled tolling of the bells rang out again, a chilling atmosphere permeated the air, and a terrifying supernatural curse spread.

Just like before, a deathly aura instantly enveloped Ye Zhen's body. He was gradually dying, his body rapidly growing cold, and the vital signs of a living person quickly disappearing.

"You actually want to kill me twice with the same supernatural attack? You bastard, you're seriously underestimating me, Ye!"

Just as Ye Zhen's physical condition was rapidly deteriorating, he suddenly snorted coldly and directly used the scapegoat ability to transfer all the supernatural attacks he had encountered to another location.

Furthermore, due to the previous attack on the king, Ye Zhen further explored the abilities of the scapegoat, and was able to effectively control the range of the scapegoat ability.

Such as this time.

Ye Zhen directly limited the scope of the substitution to this strange secret room.

However, at this moment, besides Ye Zhen himself, there was only the eerie mummified corpse sitting on the altar in this secret room. Therefore, his ability to take someone else's life directly transferred the supernatural attack he suffered to the mummified corpse sitting in front of him.

For a while.

The eerie mummified corpse, affected by supernatural forces, froze in place for two seconds. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Zhen attacked the mummified corpse again.

He discarded the twisted longsword in his hand, clenched his fists, and hurled them at the terrifying desiccated corpse in front of him.

The simultaneous supernatural attacks from both hands are twice as terrifying as a single punch.

The eerie mummified corpse swayed a few times, almost losing its balance and falling off the altar.

Seeing this, Ye Zhen unleashed a barrage of punches. Although they were completely haphazard, the effect was remarkable. Under his relentless attacks, the chest of the eerie dried corpse caved in, and an eerie aura spread. Some unknown curse from a malevolent spirit was building up, suppressing the eerie dried corpse.

"You mere brat are nothing special. Watch as I, Ye, will suppress you here today!"

Ye Zhen shouted loudly, uttering extremely childish slogans, completely unconcerned that his continuous punching caused the skin on both hands to rot completely.

As Ye Zhen continued to throw punches, the ghost's body swayed faster and faster, and tilted more and more, but correspondingly, the supernatural erosion Ye Zhen himself suffered became more and more severe.

The skin and flesh on his hands were peeling away bit by bit, revealing the strange bones inside. The bones were not the normal pale white, but black, just like the bones of a dead person.

And as time went on, the blackness on his hand continued to spread and erode deeper, gradually encroaching on nearly half of Ye Zhen's arm.

This is a sign that a vengeful ghost is reviving!

Because Ye Zhen had used the supernatural power of the vengeful spirit residing in his hand too many times, and even fought against a terrifying vengeful spirit like a strange dried corpse, the vengeful spirit's resurgence intensified as Ye Zhen threw more punches.

However, the higher the degree of resurgence of the vengeful spirit residing in Ye Zhen's hands, the more terrifying the supernatural power he can control will become.

The most obvious example is the strange mummified corpse he attacked.

"thump!"

A sound like an object hitting the ground rang out.

Under Ye Zhen's repeated punches, the strange mummified corpse's body was thrown off the altar and onto the bluestone floor of the secret room.

However, just as Ye Zhen jumped off the altar, preparing to press his advantage and suppress the terrifying mummified corpse in one fell swoop, a new anomaly occurred.

"Pat," "Pat," "Pat"...

One after another, cold, stiff, and eerie hands appeared out of thin air, covering Ye Zhen's entire body. These hands appeared unusually cold and carried a terrifying supernatural aura as they attacked Ye Zhen.

"Is there more than one vengeful ghost here?"

Under the influence of the scapegoat ability, Ye Zhen could see very clearly that the stiff hands covering his body were red in color and the size of the hands was the same as that of an average adult's hand. At first glance, they looked like hands stained with blood.

"And these hands..."

At this moment, Ye Zhen seemed to have thought of something, and looked at the floor of the secret room. The dark environment did not affect his vision, and he could clearly see everything around him.

Beside the eerie mummified corpse lying on the floor of the secret room, a large black bell, about half the height of a person, had rolled over.

There are also blood-red handprints on the bell, and there is a gap at the top. When the mummified corpse's hand supported the top of the bell, the gap was not visible. Now that the black bell has rolled to the side, the gap at the top is clearly exposed.

"Could it be that the source of these hand-shaped evil spirits was inside that black bell? Now that the bell has fallen to the side and a gap has appeared at the top, the evil spirits have escaped from inside?"

This was Ye Zhen's first thought at that moment.

Although he couldn't understand how a bell could be used to imprison a vengeful ghost, since the bell was hollow inside and the bottom wasn't sealed, anything could happen in supernatural events, so Ye Zhen didn't dwell on it too much.

"Regardless of whether you monsters were previously trapped inside the bell, now that you've emerged, you dare to attack me, Ye. Therefore, it's destined that you will continue to be suppressed!"

Brains are a good thing, but Ye Zhen doesn't seem to want to use them too much. He had only seriously deduced for a few seconds, but now he has completely given up thinking and intends to solve the current predicament in the most direct way, without wanting to think about the ins and outs of everything.

at the same time.

The terrifying mummified corpse lying on the ground also came to its senses at this moment, and stood up in a strange way, then walked towards Ye Zhen with stiff steps.

"Humph!"

"I, Ye, am invincible in this world. Apart from Little Li and Little Wang, I have no rivals. You two brats think you can kill me? Today, I will slaughter you all here!"

Faced with the attack of the two vengeful ghosts, Ye Zhen remained unusually calm and fearless. He ignored the blood-red hands covering his body and strode forward, wanting to deal with the more terrifying and eerie dried corpse first.

boom!
A punch imbued with powerful supernatural energy struck the eerie mummified corpse directly in the chest; however, Ye Zhen's punch had no effect on the corpse's body.

Not only could Ye Zhen not dent the chest of the terrifying mummy like before, but he couldn't even make its body sway. Ye Zhen's punch felt like he had hit a wall made of steel.

"Are you kidding me?"

This truly shocked Ye Zhen.

His punch not only didn't diminish the supernatural power in the slightest, but it also used the abilities of other vengeful spirits residing within his body. In terms of supernatural attack alone, it was even stronger than before. Yet, this punch failed to have any effect on the dried corpse in front of him. Doesn't this mean that the dried corpse has become even stronger?
"Is it because of that big black bell?"

Although Ye Zhen doesn't usually like to use his brain, or his thought process is different from other normal people and seems incredibly immature, it doesn't mean that Ye Zhen is really brainless. On the contrary, Ye Zhen is not stupid, but rather very smart.

"That large black bell not only imprisons the ghostly hand, but also restricts some of the mummy's supernatural abilities. The bell isn't strengthening the mummy; rather, it's limiting it?"

Just for a moment.

Ye Zhen then understood everything.

"Clap!"

At this moment, the eerie mummified corpse launched an attack on Ye Zhen. Its stiff, withered hand gripped his neck. The force from the hand was not great, but it was unusually cold and chilling.

Ye Zhen tried to break free from the grasping hand, but failed. The withered hand of the eerie corpse was terrifying, carrying an unknown supernatural quality. Being grabbed by such a hand was like being bound by countless shackles, making one feel suffocated and unable to break free.

not only that.

The next moment, a series of rapid footsteps echoed from the darkness of the secret room.

Tap, tap, tap...

The sound was not loud, but it was exceptionally clear, sounding stiff and cold. Soon, the outlines of figures appeared in the darkness.

Under the supernatural influence of the scapegoat, Ye Zhen could clearly see the figures in the darkness. They were eerie, desiccated corpses, just like the terrifying desiccated corpse choking Ye Zhen in front of him!
Their figures, appearances, and even the wound on their heads were all identical; they were practically cut from the same mold.

soon.

These terrifying figures all surrounded Ye Zhen...

.........

at the same time.

Ping An Hotel in Dajing City.

late at night.

This hotel, located in a bustling part of the city, welcomed an unexpected guest.

It was a person whose body was hidden in the darkness. He walked straight towards the top floor of the Ping An Hotel, and no staff member could spot him along the way.

Soon the figure arrived at the door of the presidential suite on the top floor of the hotel.

At this moment, under the light of the corridor, a tall shadow was cast on the wall to the side. It could be clearly seen that the figure was holding a rusty, old-fashioned large knife.

Tatata!
The figure continued walking.

Then a bizarre scene unfolded.

The door to the presidential suite in front of the figure was like a decoration, unable to stop him at all. He simply passed right through the door, as if the door didn't exist at all.

Almost the instant the figure entered the suite, the previously pitch-black room suddenly lit up, with all the lights turned on, forcing the figure, who had been hidden in the darkness, to reveal itself.

at the same time.

An old, rusty woodcutter's knife came crashing down on the figure who had suddenly barged in, as if it were about to cleave him in two.

At that critical moment, the figure suddenly raised the large sword in his hand and held it in front of him.

next moment.

A sound of metal colliding sounded.

The old wood-chopping knife clashed with the large sword in the figure's hand, the force of which caused both 'Li Hui', who was holding the wood-chopping knife, and the figure carrying the large sword to take a step back.

"A product derived from the supernatural? This is a supernatural phenomenon from the Ghost Painting, Li Hui, right? To be able to control and develop the supernatural phenomena of the Ghost Painting to this extent, you are stronger than I imagined!"

At this time.

A slightly deep male voice rang out in the room.

The figure's gaze passed directly over 'Li Hui', who was holding a wood-chopping knife in front of him, and looked at another figure sitting on the sofa in the room. That person looked exactly like 'Li Hui' who was holding a wood-chopping knife.

"Zhang Xianguang, it's actually you?"

the other side.

Upon clearly seeing the newcomer's appearance and attire, as well as the old-fashioned broadsword in his hand, Li Hui's gaze shifted slightly, revealing a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"At this time of year, you actually dared to enter Dajing City. Aren't you afraid that old man from the Ghost Rider Headquarters will come after you?"

PS: Ye Zhen's storyline has come to an end. To be honest, I cut a large part of the plot because I found that writing about him would get me criticized for padding the story. This may be related to my lack of updates. I will try to update more frequently in the future. Yes, I'm very sure of it!
As for Ye Zhen, that's all for now. We'll wait for someone to rescue him later.
