In this bizarre world, I can extract supernatural powers.

The scenery around the cabin suddenly shattered, like crumpled paper.

The people who had been queuing in long lines were gone, as were the people who had been guarding the door.

Only the wooden house remains.

A footstep sounded.

A woman dressed in plain clothes stepped out slowly.

The woman was covered in bruises, teeth marks, and saliva. Her eyes were dull and lifeless, and there was still blood on the corner of her mouth.

Seemingly sensing Xu and Bai's presence, the woman slowly turned her neck.

A series of cracking sounds rang out, as if someone had broken bones.

The woman's eyes turned deathly white, filled with a bloodthirsty glint.

"Would you also like to be happy?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground shook violently, as if something was about to burst out of the earth.

Xu Bai reacted quickly, shifting his feet slightly to the side.

Ding Huan is a seasoned veteran with some skills; otherwise, he wouldn't have received this mission.

Almost the instant the ground shook, Ding Huan used his movement technique to dodge.

The soil on the ground broke open, and withered hands emerged from the earth.

If the two hadn't left quickly, they would probably have been caught by now.

Before the two could react, the strange creature made another move.

Strangely, he immediately took off his clothes, leaving them completely naked.

His fair skin was covered in saliva and teeth marks, making it impossible to look at him.

As the eerie creature removed its clothes, heads emerged from various parts of its body.

If you look closely, you'll find that these are the heads of those villagers.

A gust of wind blew by.

It mysteriously disappeared.

A sense of crisis flashed through Xu Bai's mind, and he hurriedly raised his hand and pointed at the void in front of him.

As the lightning flashed, a scream rang out.

Xu Bai then noticed that the strange creature had somehow appeared on his left side and was being forced to retreat by the lightning.

Ding Huan seized the opportunity and thrust his longsword straight at the strange creature.

The longsword was covered with true qi, and its speed suddenly increased.

But with a strange, chilling smile, he vanished once again.

Ding Huan's attack missed, but it still managed to cut a deep crack in the ground.

A gust of wind blew.

Ding Huan couldn't see the other person's location, but relying on his instincts accumulated over the years, he raised his longsword and blocked in front of his chest.

"boom!"

A roaring sound rang out.

Ding Huan was sent flying backward, leaving a long trail on the ground.

And where he flew out, the eerie creature was slowly retracting its palm.

"Such speed!" Ding Huan gritted his teeth and said, "He has just entered the fifth stage of the Transcendent Realm. Brother Xu, this is troublesome."

If he hadn't reacted so quickly, he probably would have had his heart and liver ripped out by this strange creature.

The strange creature kills through dreams; if his heart and liver were ripped out, he would surely die in reality as well.

Xu Bai also showed a solemn expression.

His gaze shifted to the strange footsteps, and upon seeing the pair of embroidered shoes, he immediately realized what had happened.

He had seen the strange object before, and now it seemed that the object's primary function was speed.

During the brief intervals between their conversations, the eerie atmosphere offered them no respite.

The strange phenomenon disappeared again.

Xu Bai felt that sense of danger again.

Without hesitation, he flicked his finger.

This time, however, the lightning bolt missed its target, and a gust of wind came from behind.

"not good!"

Xu Bai's heart skipped a beat, and he prepared to circulate his true qi and unleash the Locust Wood Mystic Armor Technique.

At this moment, a sword aura soared through the air and struck the empty space behind Xu Bai.

"what!"

A strange, agonizing scream rang out.

Ding Huan strode closer, standing back-to-back with Xu Bai, and said intently, "Brother Xu, you must not expose your back to the strange creature. Its attacks are not strong; it seems that all of its cultivation is used to enhance its speed."

Even the bizarre has its strengths and weaknesses.

If all of these are their strengths, then the two of them don't need to struggle anymore; they can just admit defeat.

Xu Bai nodded slightly and turned his gaze forward.

Strangely, he was struck by the sword energy, and half of his body was shattered.

But after being injured, he became even more frantic.

Then, the eerie sight vanished once again.

Xu Bai frowned slightly: "They haven't launched an attack yet?"

Their opponents are faster than them, so for the time being they can only defend as a means of attack.

But after the strange disappearance, the attack did not land for a long time.

This aroused Xu Bai's suspicion.

Just as Ding Huan was about to speak, a series of sharp wind whistles sounded.

He looked up, his eyes wide, his face filled with disbelief.

"Brother Xu, we're in trouble..."

Xu Bai followed the sound of the wind and looked in that direction, his brows furrowing even deeper.

As the wind blew, strange afterimages flashed by.

These afterimages were moving so fast that they were circling around them.

As they spun around, the eerie, chilling aura transformed into an unparalleled offensive force, surging towards them from all directions.

At that moment, the eerie figure attacked from all directions at an extremely fast speed.

Ding Huan brandished his longsword, continuously unleashing sword energy in all directions.

The strange attack was so fast that he could hardly react and had to act on instinct.

On the other hand, Xu Bai was in the same situation.

As the thunderbolts continued to strike, the vital energy was continuously depleted.

Even so, it is still quite difficult to resist.

Ding Huan's forehead was covered in even more cold sweat. He gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Xu, I'm afraid we can't hold on for much longer."

He knew very well that relying on instinct to defend himself would ultimately lead to mistakes.

Once one's energy is depleted, the slightest carelessness in one's mind will allow the supernatural to seize the opportunity, resulting in a gruesome death.

Xu Bai's expression turned serious. He said, "No, there should still be a way to break this deadlock."

Ding Huan smiled bitterly, "Breaking the deadlock is too difficult. Although the opponent's attack and defense are not good, their speed is genuinely at the fifth level of the Transcendent Realm, or even above that of ordinary fifth-level Transcendent Realm cultivators. Unless we can catch them, we will only be in a passive situation."

He didn't know what Xu Bai was thinking.

But there were some things he had to say.

"Brother Xu, you don't need to say comforting words," Ding Huan shook his head and said, "I know the current situation, but it's better to have someone to accompany you in the afterlife than to die alone in misery."

He paused slightly before continuing.

"Once I became a monster hunter, I was prepared to die. Dying sooner or later makes no difference."

"Brother Xu..."

He was about to say something else.

At this moment, Xu Bai suddenly spoke.

"Giving up like this isn't the style of a Ghost Hunter. It seems like you, a veteran, have a bad mentality."

Ding Huan deflected an attack and said bitterly, "Brother Xu is right, but I have no choice..."

Some things cannot be resolved simply by talking about them.

Because everything before his eyes was beyond his imagination.

However, Ding Huan also sensed something amiss.

He asked instinctively, "Brother Xu, do you perhaps have a solution?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Bai took a step forward.

"Rather than sitting and waiting to be killed, we should turn defense into offense."

Xu Bai said calmly, "Didn't you say you wanted to catch it? Then let's try and see if we can catch it."

Ding Huan's eyes widened, and he said, "But... we'll die if we don't defend it."

Xu Bai turned around and said, "Then let's both defend and attack."
