Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 196 Clash with Each Other

After giving instructions to the others, Zhang Xianguang took action again, walking with heavy steps towards Li Hui's location. His old, rusty broadsword dragged on the ground, making a sharp, piercing sound that gave people a sense of oppression.

Furthermore, as Zhang Xianguang walked, an even more terrifying supernatural phenomenon emerged, with a figure appearing out of thin air beside him.

This person was exactly the same as Zhang Xianguang in terms of build, appearance, even facial expression and walking gait, and was also carrying a rusty old knife.

Next came the second, third, and fourth figures...

this moment.

Five Zhang Xianguangs suddenly appeared around them—no, to be precise, six, because the real Zhang Xianguang, who was their true form, was also there, standing behind Nie Yingping and the others, coldly watching everything.

"A power similar to infinite reboot? Such an ability is indeed powerful, and it works quite well against other ghost tamers or vengeful spirits, but it's still not enough for me!"

Seeing the five Zhang Xianguangs arrive together, Li Hui's expression remained unchanged, as if he was completely unconcerned about this terrifying supernatural phenomenon and had an absolute certainty of victory.

Yet this is indeed the case.

With the ability to infinitely restart, plus the supernatural powers that Zhang Xianguang himself controls, there are a total of five Zhang Xianguangs. This might be very troublesome or even unsolvable for others, but it is still not enough for Li Hui at present.

Furthermore, Li Hui's personal impression of Zhang Xianguang was not bad, and he also owed Zhang Xianguang's father, Zhang Dong, more than once, so he did not particularly want to fight with Zhang Xianguang.

If Li Hui hadn't carefully considered the matter and felt that Zhang Xianguang was truly unsuitable to replace He Yuelian in managing the supernatural aspects of the ghost painting, he would have even considered standing by and letting Zhang Xianguang do as he pleased. After all, he had come to Dahan City with this mindset from the beginning, but he had only changed his mind at the last minute.

Therefore, Li Hui continued, "You should know in your heart that your teammates are no match for the headquarters captain, and you also cannot bypass me to replace He Yuelian. Since that's the case, you might as well just listen to my advice and let He Yuelian control this supernatural power!"

However, Zhang Xianguang remained unmoved by Li Hui's persuasion, and even quickened his pace. The five Zhang Xianguangs joined forces to surround and attack Li Hui.

Seeing this, Li Hui's expression also turned cold. He turned to the captains beside him, who had been prepared and had repeatedly urged him to take action, and said:

"Let's all work together and proceed with caution. Don't let anything go wrong. I'll deal with Zhang Xianguang, the leader. As for the rest, you can handle them. There's no need to leave any survivors; just kill them all!"

Although Li Hui couldn't kill Zhang Xiangguang because of Zhang Dong, he had no reason to hesitate to kill the others behind Zhang Xiangguang.

next moment.

A hazy, ghostly light flashed, and Li Hui himself, along with five Zhang Xianguang figures wielding old, large swords, and Zhang Xianguang's true form—a total of seven figures—vanished instantly.

As for Nie Yingping and the team leader from headquarters, Li Hui left them where they were.

Although Li Hui had the strength to wipe out the entire enemy team, this operation was proposed by the Ghost Tamer Headquarters, and all the team leaders basically received travel allowances. Given this, how could Li Hui just let them watch without taking action?
Moreover, although Nie Yingping and his group are not weak, they are clearly no match for Wang Chaling and his group. Letting them fight will not only show the current strength of the team leaders at headquarters, but also provide an opportunity to hone their skills.

After all, only when Li Jun and his team's strength increases will headquarters stop bothering him with all sorts of things. Therefore, in Li Hui's view, having Li Jun and his team deal with Nie Yingping and others is a very worthwhile deal.

"Do it!"

Seeing that Li Hui and the most powerful ghost tamer on the other side had all left, Li Jun, who had long harbored murderous intent towards Nie Yingping and the others, immediately launched his attack.

As soon as he finished speaking, a greenish-blue ghostly domain emerged from Li Jun, directly enveloping Song Xinhai and Wang Han, who were positioned relatively close to the front.

All of a sudden.

The green will-o'-the-wisps burned towards Song Xinhai and Wang Han, spreading a terrifying supernatural aura as if they intended to burn them alive.

At the same time, the paper doll Liu San also had his own target, which was Zhang Xian, who looked like an old man.

Five or six identical Liu Sans surrounded and attacked Zhang Xian. Du Hong and Zhang Ying, who were about to provide support, were blocked by Shen Lin and Jiang Shangbai, who had also begun their operation.

soon.

The only two people present who hadn't yet fought were Nie Yingping and Wang Chaling.

"It seems you're quite special among this group. Zhang Xianguang only asked me to stall you instead of killing you directly. I suppose you're stronger than the rest of them?"

With a sinister look on his face, Nie Yingping first observed the fighting between Li Jun and Song Xinhai, and then spoke to Wang Chaling.

While speaking, Nie Yingping focused his attention on the two strange old men standing next to Wang Chaling. These were the two old men that Zhang Xianguang had asked him to keep an eye on and hold back.

Nie Yingping was well aware of Zhang Xianguang's strength. The fact that those two eerie old men, who resembled black and white portraits, could be so valued by Zhang Xianguang suggested that their level of terror was far beyond what was expected.

Although Nie Yingping was somewhat wary, he was not afraid, clearly having enough confidence in his own strength.

"Grandpa, kill him for me!"

On the other side, Wang Chaling clearly had no intention of talking to Nie Yingping. He directly gave an order to his grandfather, who was standing next to him, to kill Nie Yingping. His grandmother, on the other hand, remained by his side to protect him.

The instant the command is issued.

The terrifying old man next to me started to move.

He quickly approached Nie Yingping's location, his aged face expressionless, appearing cold and terrifying.

"You really think I'm afraid of you? I want to see if the vengeful spirit you control is as terrifying as Zhang Xianguang said, or if it's just all show and no substance?"

Seeing this, Nie Yingping snorted coldly and instead of retreating, stepped forward to meet the terrifying old man.

As he walked, a terrifying, eerie aura emerged, and a bizarre tattoo appeared on Nie Yingping's skin.

The tattoo depicted a emaciated corpse, as if it had starved to death, its bones bony and lifelike, as if the corpse were lying on his body.

Furthermore, the rattle drum in Nie Yingping's hand also underwent a strange change. The outline of a human face and two hands vaguely appeared under the drumhead, as if a terrifying evil spirit was imprisoned inside.

soon.

Nie Yingping was about to come face to face with the terrifying old man whose body was black and white.

However, as the old man approached, Nie Yingping's expression suddenly changed. He felt a chilling aura wash over him, carrying a suffocating sense of oppression.

Although it had been dead for a long time and was just a phantom, it was an extremely dangerous existence in the eyes of the ghost tamer.

next moment.

Nie Yingping made the first move. The strange rattle drum in his hand was like a heavy hammer, smashing down on the terrifying ghost in front of him.

"Knock knock knock~!"

Suddenly, a muffled drumbeat rang out, echoing around, accompanied by the terrifying screams of vengeful ghosts, sending chills down everyone's spines.

However, faced with Nie Yingping's attack, the most terrifying ghost of the Wang family, with a deathly gray face, reached out and grabbed at Nie Yingping's body.

Soon, the old rattle drum collided with the old man's palm in the air.

This is not a contest of strength, but a supernatural confrontation between the two sides.

moment.

The result was that.

The old, dirty rattle drum in Nie Yingping's hand, which looked like a child's toy, immediately dented. At the same time, a shrill scream of a vengeful ghost rang out, as if the eeriness of the rattle drum in his hand was completely unable to stop the palm of this terrifying old man.

"Are you kidding me? How could that be!"

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

Then another supernatural being he controlled joined the fight.

Nie Yingping's entire body turned cold and ashen, and bruises appeared on his skin as if he had been frostbitten. At the same time, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and a terrifying supernatural force spread toward the old man's body, as if trying to freeze him completely.

However, the next moment, something unbelievable happened to Nie Yingping again.

His terrifying supernatural abilities had no effect on the horrifying old man in front of him; the man's body was not frozen as expected.

At the same time, the terrifying old man's palm exerted tremendous force, pressing the rattle drum in Nie Yingping's hand until it was almost completely deformed, and the screams of the vengeful ghost in the drum became even more shrill and piercing.

This is not over yet.

Soon, the terrifying old man's other hand also moved. His cold, withered hand quickly reached out and grabbed Nie Yingping's shoulder.

Suddenly.

The supernatural power that Nie Yingping was controlling was affected. The vengeful spirit within him was being suppressed and gradually subsided. The terror of the old man in front of him was beyond his imagination.

While Nie Yingping was being suppressed, the situation of the other members of their team was not much better.

Zhang Ying is already dead; she was the first Ghost Tamer to die in the battle between the headquarters captain and Zhang Xianguang's team.

The person who killed her was Shen Lin.

Although Zhang Ying was a veteran ghost tamer and her strength was not weak, she was no match for Shen Lin, who had become an anomaly with bizarre abilities and did not exist in reality. She was erased from her consciousness by Shen Lin, and her own supernatural abilities could not withstand Shen Lin's attack.

Furthermore, Zhang Xian had already pushed himself to the limit under Liu San's siege and was in danger of being killed by Liu San at any moment. At this time, Zhang Xian's body was covered with wounds, and there was a supernatural aura emanating from them, which continued to affect his body.

However, Liu San's paper figures were also damaged. One paper figure had died and was badly broken, but fortunately the loss was not too great, with only one paper figure injured or killed.

On the other side, Song Xinhai and Wang Han, who were also trapped in Li Jun's ghost domain, were struggling desperately. The eerie green ghost fire had already spread all over their bodies and was burning continuously, trying to burn them alive. The intense pain made the two of them scream in agony.

Compared to the others, Du Hong was undoubtedly in much better condition, and even had a slight advantage.

At this moment, he was incredibly cold and sinister, as if he had transformed into a real vengeful ghost. Coupled with the iron chain in his hand that could bind spirits, Jiang Shangbai suddenly felt at a loss and became timid and hesitant.

The reason why this happens.

This is because Jiang Shangbai lacks experience in dealing with the supernatural, and his own strength is indeed not as strong as the other captains.

at the same time.

Meanwhile, the confrontation between Zhang Xianguang and Li Hui continued.

Zhang Xianguang wanted to get rid of Li Hui's entanglement as soon as possible so that his main body could transfer his consciousness to He Yuelian and replace everything about her. Li Hui, on the other hand, mainly aimed to delay the attack and did not kill Zhang Xianguang. He just wanted to stall until He Yuelian woke up.

"Li Hui, if you don't interfere in this matter and allow me to smoothly complete the subsequent steps, then my Zhang family will owe you a favor. What do you think?"

Seeing that Li Hui had easily blocked his attacks several times, Zhang Xianguang became quite anxious and even directly mentioned the favors of the 'Zhang family' instead of his own.

After all, the Zhang family doesn't only have him as a ghost tamer; there are also Zhang Dong and others!

However, Li Hui refused without hesitation.

"If it were anything else, it would be fine to talk about, but there's no need to discuss replacing He Yuelian and controlling the Ghost Painting Supernatural. As for the reason, I think you should already have a guess with your intelligence."

"Is there really no room for negotiation?"

"No!" Li Hui said firmly.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xianguang's expression grew even more unpleasant.

He had indeed guessed why Li Hui was preventing him from replacing He Yuelian, and he could understand it, because if it were him, he would most likely have made the same choice as Li Hui.

It's one thing to be able to understand something, but it's quite another to be able to accept it.

After decades of planning, it was only one step away from completion. How could Zhang Xianguang possibly give up now?
So he launched a new round of attacks.

A chilling atmosphere spread throughout.

At this moment, the five Zhang Xianguangs attacked together, swinging their old broadswords from five different corners, slashing down at Li Hui's body.

However, faced with such an attack, Li Hui did not resist at all. He just stood there calmly and motionless, waiting for Zhang Xianguang's attack to come.

"puff!"

next moment.

The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh rang out.

Five rusty old swords slashed through Li Hui's body, and some terrifying supernatural force directly dismembered and tore his entire body into several pieces.

However, seeing that his attack had succeeded, Zhang Xianguang showed no joy on his face, but instead his brows were furrowed.

"Isn't this the original body? It's a manifestation of some kind of supernatural phenomenon, somewhat similar to my 'infinite reboot.' This is a supernatural phenomenon belonging to the Ghost Painting!"

No blood flowed from the wounds on Li Hui's body, which had been dismembered and torn into several pieces by the old broadsword. Clearly, this was not Li Hui's real body, but a figure that had been supernaturally generated from him.

"Zhang Xianguang, haven't you realized the difference between us even now? If it weren't for Zhang Dong's sake, you would already be a cold corpse!"

At this moment, Li Hui's voice came from all directions, echoing around.

As the sound rang out, figures appeared one after another, quickly surrounding Zhang Xianguang's location. Each of them looked exactly like Li Hui, as if they were carved from the same mold.
