Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 89 Clash with Each Other

As the manor owner walked, footsteps sounded behind him, the sound dull and stiff.

At first, there was only one footstep, but as time went by, the footsteps behind him became more and more numerous. After only walking a short distance, the footsteps behind the manor owner became extremely dense.

at the same time.

Li Hui's gaze also turned towards them.

In his sight, the middle-aged man, who looked to be around forty or fifty years old and appeared somewhat old, was shrouded in darkness. He walked heavily through the city streets, followed by more than twenty figures, each of whom looked extremely eerie.

The figures were expressionless, their eyes cold and numb. Some had physical deformities, some were rotting, and some were bleeding.

The scene was absolutely terrifying.

Rather than calling them people, it would be more accurate to describe them as a group of vengeful ghosts.

More than twenty terrifying figures formed a circle, creating an eerie barrier that enveloped the middle-aged man's body, as if trying to keep the ashes of the paper paper flying everywhere outside.

Their behavior was indeed effective, subtly giving the middle-aged man a sense of independence, free from the influence of Li Hui's ghostly domain.

But perhaps because the supernatural intensity was insufficient, or for some other reason, the man was never able to completely escape Li Hui's ghostly domain and continued to walk on the streets of this city in the painting.

"It seems this middle-aged man must be the king codenamed 'Manor Owner'." Li Hui's expression shifted slightly as he guessed the middle-aged man's identity.

He had previously had some vague guesses about the identities of the kings, but apart from the most obvious ones, he was not sure about the others. Now, with the supernatural manifestation driven by the middle-aged man, Li Hui was completely certain of his identity.

"At this time, the manor owner was not as powerful as he was later in the original work. He only had about twenty ghost figures, which was very different from the countless ghost figures shown in the later part of the original work."

"And at this moment, he is also unable to completely counteract the invasion of my ghostly realm."

Li Hui remembers.

In the original work, the terrifying manor owner possessed supernatural powers that were almost as strong as those of the law enforcement captain Yang Jian. Even Yang Jian's six-layered ghost domain, the attached ghost fire, and the supernatural power of the four-layered ghost lake were all neutralized by the manor owner's own supernatural power, making it impossible to completely pull him into it. Even the coffin nails after he made a wish could not hold him in place.

But that was in the later stages; the current manor owners obviously can't do that yet.

In Li Hui's opinion, the sixth level of the Ghost Realm in Yang Jian can be considered the peak of the Ghost Eye's external supernatural power. The remaining seventh and eighth levels are all effects on itself, which are restarts and superpositions. When the Ghost Eye is truly used externally, the sixth level is the peak, which can freeze everything within the Ghost Realm.

"However, even at this stage, the manor lord's performance far surpasses that of the other kings. If the ghost painting supernatural power I control were weaker, I really wouldn't be able to bring him in."

"As expected of a king who can rival Yang Jian, the later-stage enforcement captain, aside from the captain's vengeful ghost, the manor lord is one of the few who can achieve this. Furthermore, the coffin bearers also possess such strength. As for the others..."

Thinking.

Li Hui identified the owner of the terrifying manor as his primary target for assassination.

The moment this thought crossed his mind, a large portion of the figures in the city who looked exactly like him, with identical build and clothing, surrounded the street where the terrifying manor lord was located, each holding an old machete.

Besides.

The other kings also encountered the same scene. Whether it was the missionary, the painter, or Simon, they were all surrounded by figures. They were all blocked in the street by varying numbers of 'Li Hui', only the number of figures surrounding them was not as many as that of the terrifying manor lord.

But the gravediggers were.

He did not appear in the city in the painting. When Li Hui first took action, the gravedigger left through the pit he had already left. Even the seventy percent ghost painting spirit that Li Hui controlled could not keep him.

However, Li Hui acted too quickly, and the other kings also wanted to kill Li Hui and Ye Zhen together, so only he escaped, while the others were all pulled into Li Hui's ghost realm and appeared in this painted city.

It is worth mentioning that.

The twins never recovered before their deaths.
Under the influence of Ye Zhen's scapegoat supernatural power, she suffered too many supernatural attacks and fell into a state of dormancy. Not long after entering Li Hui's ghost realm, the twins were killed.

To be precise, it was dismembered!
The one who made the move was a figure that looked exactly like Li Hui. In his hand was a rusty old woodcutter's knife, the real source of the woodcutter's knife, which was incomparable to the supernatural derivatives in the hands of the other figures.

At his feet lay two corpses, dismembered into several pieces, their heads and limbs severed, their bodies split in two.

But accordingly.

The figure also suffered a backlash from the wood-chopping knife.

Terrifying wounds appeared out of nowhere on his body, dismembering him completely. His injuries were exactly the same as those of the twins on the ground.

Tatata!
Almost the instant the figure was dismembered, several identical figures surrounded him. They were all like Li Hui. One of them picked up the old machete that had fallen to the ground, while the rest lifted up the twins' bodies.

Although the current kings are not as terrifying as they were later in the original story, they have almost all become anomalies and can be said to have some of the characteristics of vengeful ghosts. Merely dismembering them is not enough to kill them completely.

But now that it's in Li Hui's hands, it's basically impossible for it to be revived.

Each figure possessed the same supernatural power as Li Hui. Their grabs were equivalent to being hit by a supernatural bus. The continued grabbing felt like being constantly hit. The dismembered twins had no ability to resist this terrifying supernatural power and fell into complete silence.

the other side.

The confrontation between the king, codenamed "The Noblewoman," and Ye Zhen has reached a fever pitch.

The scene before Ye Zhen's eyes changed imperceptibly; he was now in a dark environment.

At the edge of this darkness stood a terrifying woman dressed in a Western-style dress. She exuded a chilling aura, and just one glance from her could induce a feeling of suffocation. Some kind of supernatural force was trying to influence Ye Zhen's mind.

But this had no effect on him whatsoever. Ye Zhen shouted loudly, "Is this all you've got, you old woman?"

"You don't even have the courage to confront me, Ye, head-on. You only know how to avoid battle. If you're afraid, you can just surrender and admit defeat. I, Ye, will leave you with a whole corpse."

"Also, you really don't think you can hold me back by avoiding battle and relying solely on this kind of supernatural power, do you? If that's what you think, then you're underestimating me, Ye."

talking.

A chilling aura emanated from Ye Zhen's body as he said, "I, Ye, am invincible in this world. How can mere darkness stop me?"

The words fell.

Ye Zhen's own supernatural abilities affected the surrounding environment. The dense darkness dissipated rapidly, and the scene of a city filled with floating ashes reappeared in Ye Zhen's eyes.

"I'll kill you today!"

Ye Zhen vanished from his spot in a bizarre manner, and the next moment he appeared in front of the terrifying woman, his fist, imbued with powerful supernatural energy, striking her directly.

"Bang~!"

No surprises.

Ye Zhen's punch landed squarely on the woman's body, and a terrifying force surged forth, sending her flying and crashing onto the street where she remained motionless for a long time.

However, just when Ye Zhen thought that his opponent had been completely suppressed by the supernatural power of his punch, the noblewoman's voice suddenly rang out:
"I admit we all underestimated you before. You truly deserve the title of Asia's number one ghost tamer. In a one-on-one fight, I am indeed no match for you, but you are far from invincible!"

As the sound rang out, the noblewoman lying on the street rose up in a bizarre way, her cold and eerie eyes fixed on Ye Zhen.

"You say I, Ye, am not invincible? Are you the invincible one? That's utterly arrogant!" Ye Zhen's expression remained unchanged as he looked at the noblewoman with disdain, seemingly not taking her seriously at all.

Ye Zhen then resumed his actions.

Just like before.

His figure appeared eerily in front of the noblewoman, then he reached out and grabbed her neck, slamming her head hard to the ground.

The pressure was so strong that part of the noblewoman's head caved in, her neck twisted and deformed, and countless cracks appeared all over her body, like a spider web.

then.

Ye Zhen held the noblewoman down with his left hand, while his right hand clenched into a fist and began to punch her repeatedly. The vengeful spirit residing in his fist was also attacking her body.

At this moment, Ye Zhen displayed an invincible and fearless attitude, as if he completely ignored the eerie aura emanating from the terrifying woman in the Western-style dress with a wrinkled face and a deathly aura, and wanted to kill her completely.

Even so, the noblewoman's consciousness did not fall silent. She tried to resist, and her own supernatural abilities surged forth, attempting to influence Ye Zhen, but the effect was minimal.

Just as the cracks covering her body were beginning to heal, new cracks appeared the next moment. Ye Zhen gave her no chance to catch her breath. In this supernatural clash, the noblewoman was undoubtedly at a disadvantage.

Bang bang bang!
As Ye Zhen's right fist continued to fall, the pressure became stronger, but correspondingly, Ye Zhen's right hand also suffered an injury.

The skin on his hands was gradually corroded, revealing the dark bones underneath. This was not the noblewoman's supernatural power eroding his body, but rather the vengeful spirit residing in Ye Zhen's hands gradually reviving.

Even so, Ye Zhen's hands did not stop moving, and as the resurgence of the vengeful ghost intensified, the supernatural power contained in each of his punches became increasingly terrifying.

With the help of another vengeful ghost, every punch Ye Zhen threw made the noblewoman feel a sense of mental disorientation, and the supernatural power she controlled gradually subsided.

this moment.

A hint of human fear flickered in the noblewoman's eerie eyes. She had a premonition that if things continued like this, Ye Zhen would really beat her to death right here.

No skills are required; all that's needed is the most primal supernatural collision. When the intensity of the supernatural force exceeds the limit, even a real vengeful ghost will crash, let alone a ghost tamer who is merely an anomaly.

But Ye Zhen was determined to kill the woman in front of him, giving her no chance to breathe, which prevented her from even asking other kings for help.

Under Ye Zhen's punches, the noblewoman's emaciated body gradually caved in, her internal organs and bones were all shattered, and the supernatural power within her began to subside.

at the same time.

the other side.

Li Hui's operation against the terrifying manor owner has also been fully launched.

A dozen figures identical to Li Hui appeared on both sides of the street, then quickly approached the manor owner, raising their eerie woodcutting knives and slashing at the strange figures around him.

However, something strange happened.

The old machete failed to strike the eerie figures, let alone the manor owner surrounded by them.

They seemed to exist outside the real world; the supernatural power of the machete was almost ineffective against these vengeful ghosts, not to mention that the machete in their hands was merely a byproduct of supernatural phenomena.

"I see. No wonder they were able to withstand the coffin nails after making a wish in the original story, instead of being directly pierced by one of the vengeful ghosts among them."

See this.

Li Hui was not surprised.

The vengeful spirits controlled by the manor owner are extremely powerful. Those eerie figures intertwine and form a thick wall that no one can cross. Even supernatural beings are blocked, and since they are not in reality, it is normal that they can withstand the attack of the woodcutter's knife.

Even so, Li Hui's expression did not change at all.

The supernatural power of the woodcutter's knife is only significant in the early and mid-game. While it doesn't become negligible in the later stages, its effect diminishes considerably.

The core vengeful spirits controlled by top-tier ghost tamers like the Horror Manor Owner have basically taken shape. Although they are not as powerful as in the later parts of the original work in terms of terror, they have already possessed the necessary supernatural manifestations.

"But that's far from enough... You can't break through the blockade of my Ghost Domain. The fate of all of you has already been sealed."

While thinking.

The figures on the street changed their attack method. Instead of continuing to swing their old machetes, they charged straight at the manor owner in the middle of the street.

The supernatural aspects of buses have a significant advantage in terms of mutual confrontation.

The behavior of those figures on the street was like a series of weakened, supernatural buses crashing into the manor owner.

Even vengeful ghosts that don't exist in reality can be affected by the supernatural influence of the bus.

as predicted.

As more than a dozen figures rampaged through the area, the eerie figures surrounding the manor owner began to be affected, their already somewhat blurry and unreal outlines becoming even more illusory.

"Damn it, is that person completely targeting me? I refuse to believe that you can keep using such a terrifying supernatural power for long!" The manor owner thought fiercely to himself.

A black cane appeared in his hand at some point, and he swung it at the nearest figure.

"boom!"

The moment the black cane collided with the figure, the entire cane curved in a terrifying arc, as if it would break at any moment. But in the end, it did not break; instead, it sent the figure flying.

But accordingly.

The manor owner himself also experienced a tremendous force, and he staggered back three or four steps before finally regaining his balance. This was only because there was a supernatural force protecting him; otherwise, he would have had to retreat even further.

"It's now!"

Sudden.

A man's voice appeared behind Li Hui, and then the cityscape behind him changed. Two figures silently approached him; they were a missionary and a painter, who had somehow joined forces.

Then a huge portrait banner appeared in the sky, trying to capture Li Hui's image.

But the instant he pulled Li Hui's body into the portrait, the painter, dressed like a vagrant, suddenly changed his expression and shouted:

"No, he..."
