Extracting all things: My attributes grow infinitely.

Two horses, one in front and one behind, rushed out of the city gate of Zhang County.

Just left the city.

Jiang Chuan's expression immediately changed.

Along both sides of the official road, shadowy figures could be seen, all of them ghost slaves.

At a glance, there are at least a hundred of them.

Some stood on the edge of the field, while others stood beside withered trees.

One by one, they all turned their heads and stared at them with shameless expressions.

The empty, bloody hole sent chills down one's spine.

There were more than twice as many as I saw this morning!

Jiang Chuan's heart sank.

Wang Lie is right.

That ghost has been killing people all along.

Moreover, the more people it kills, the stronger it becomes!

Once it has slaughtered everyone in this city, no one in this ghost realm will be able to control it!

Several ghost servants staggered forward, trying to block the two's path.

Jiang Chuan sat upright on horseback.

He swung his sword horizontally.

He immediately severed the arms of those ghost slaves.

The two men did not linger in the fight; they pulled on the reins, and the horses galloped away, leaving the two behind.

After running a short distance, Jiang Chuan suddenly asked, "We left the city this morning, but we got trapped not far from there."

"Bai Niu Mountain is more than 20 li away from Zhang County."

"It takes almost half an hour to ride a horse."

"What if that mountain isn't within the ghost realm's reach?"

Wang Lie, however, confidently declared, "No, the remains of that ghost must remain in the Ghost Realm. Even if White Ox Mountain is far away, it will appear before us in a special way."

After saying that, he suddenly pulled on the reins and looked ahead with a serious expression.

"We've arrived."

Jiang Chuan looked up and was immediately startled.

Right in the middle of the official road, a huge mountain rises abruptly from the ground.

It's as if it grew out of thin air.

The mountain was majestic and dark, with mist swirling around its waist, resembling a giant beast descending from the sky, blocking the official road.

It is Bai Niu Mountain!

They left the city in less than half an incense stick's time, covering more than twenty miles. How could they possibly arrive in the blink of an eye?

The answer is self-evident.

In this ghostly realm, the ghost actually possessed the ability to manipulate space!

Jiang Chuan also understood what Wang Lie had said earlier.

If we wait until that ghost has completely mastered the Ghost Realm...

The space can be manipulated at will.

By then, finding its remains will be harder than climbing to heaven!

Let's go!

Wang Lie dismounted.

Jiang Chuan took a deep breath and immediately followed.

The two hiked into the mountains.

The mountain path was rugged, the fog was thicker than in the city, and the depths of the forest were so dark that the sun could not be seen.

Fortunately, Jiang Chuan has first-class eyesight, so his vision remains normal even in dim environments.

They had only walked a few steps when they heard a commotion in the woods.

The crisp sound of dead branches snapping underfoot echoed one after another.

Three ghost servants emerged shakily from behind the tree.

Without making a sound, like a ghost, it reached out and pounced on the two of them.

"Stay close to me!"

Jiang Chuan uttered a sentence, drew his sword and stepped forward, the sword moving with him, and he advancing with the sword.

A flash of cold light appeared on the crimson stripes.

A head flew off, and two halves of the body fell to the ground.

The knife was too fast.

The ghost servant didn't even have time to react.

Before the ghost slave's injuries could heal.

With another flash of the blade, its four limbs were severed at the root, turning it into a human stick that could only writhe on the ground.

The remaining two ghost slaves were treated in the same way.

In the blink of an eye, three piles of rotten flesh appeared on the ground.

Wang Lie followed behind Jiang Chuan, his sword still sheathed, only cautiously scanning his surroundings.

Occasionally, a fish would slip through his net and pounce, only to be swiftly and decisively killed by him.

He was injured and could not engage in strenuous combat.

At this point, it is natural to preserve one's strength.

Waiting for the final move.

Jiang Chuan simply took on the task of clearing the way.

After mastering the Nine Breaths Breathing Technique, his body recovered extremely quickly.

They fought their way through.

He didn't even seem to be panting much.

In addition, the Crimson Stripe is incredibly sharp, and ordinary ghost servants are dismembered in a single encounter.

He fought his way from the foot of the mountain to the halfway point, and had already killed more than a dozen ghost slaves with his blade.

The mountain road behind us looked like a writhing carpet of flesh.

Wang Lie's brows twitched as he watched.

The more he killed, the greater Jiang Chuan's worries became.

"Don't you find it strange?"

He suddenly spoke up: "All we've encountered along the way are ghost servants; the true form of that ghost has never been revealed."

Wang Lie also frowned:

"I'm thinking about it too."

"Perhaps it was the black bear's cautious nature in life that influenced its behavior after it became a ghost!"

He paused, his gaze falling on Jiang Chuan's crimson markings: "It's also possible that it's because you killed it once, and it still has some instinctive fear of you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan immediately recalled last night, when the ghost had indeed confronted him face to face but ultimately retreated on its own.

That must be the reason.

But he felt no joy whatsoever.

Instead, it became even more agitated.

The ghost is unaware that he is all bark and no bite, and has absolutely no means of dealing with ghosts.

Once it figures out his secrets, he will definitely die a terrible death!

Therefore, we must act before it can react.

Burn the wreckage!

The two continued on their way and soon arrived at a place familiar to Jiang Chuan, the very spot where he had shot the black bear.

The cave is not far ahead.

Just then, a huge black shadow emerged from the forest, and the ground trembled slightly with each step it took.

It is over ten feet tall, with black fur like needles, and its two front paws look like ten upside-down daggers.

Those eyes were empty, staring straight at the two of them.

It was none other than the black bear that had wreaked havoc on Bai Niu Mountain before!

It was also turned into a ghost slave by that ghost!

Moreover, it now possesses the characteristic of immortality, making it even more terrifying than it was in life!

Jiang Chuan gasped.

How do I fight this thing?!

Using his long-range archery kite technique won't work anymore; the arrow wounds he inflicts might not even heal as quickly as it does automatically!

at the same time.

The number of ghost servants in the mountains and forests has also increased.

Like a wild dog that has smelled blood.

Gather more and more.

All around, there were swaying figures.

The ghost seemed to realize the two's purpose and mobilized all its power to stop them!

A black bear is ahead.

Then came the ghost slave.

Our escape route has been completely blocked.

The two exchanged a glance and both understood that one of them had to stay behind to stop these ghostly things.

Another person rushed into the cave and burned the remains!

Wang Lie did not hesitate for a moment.

He bit a strip of cloth and wrapped the precious sword and his palm together, one loop after another.

The strips of cloth were quickly soaked with blood.

Without changing his expression, he stepped forward and resolutely said:

"I'll hold them off!"

"Go and burn the remains!"

"Watch out, the real ghost could appear at any moment!"

Jiang Chuan glanced at him.

He cleared the way, expending a great deal of energy.

Although Wang Lie was injured, he had preserved his strength very well.

Moreover, his strength was already superior to mine, making him the perfect person to deal with this resurrected black bear.

Be careful.

Jiang Chuan only said this one sentence before leaping towards the cave.

The black bear immediately set off.

They even tried to stop them.

Suddenly, a blade of light flashed and descended upon it!

Wang Lie was as if he had been injected with adrenaline, his fighting spirit soaring. He roared at the black bear, "Last time, we were evenly matched! This time, I will kill you!"

Jiang Chuan charged forward headfirst. He heard a sound behind him and thought to himself that Wang Lie was indeed quite courageous.

Moreover, they are absolutely unafraid to make sacrifices when necessary.

If he weren't from the Wang family, he would be a very suitable teammate...

Thoughts flashed by in an instant.

He quickly found the familiar cave.

The cave entrance was pitch black, like a gaping maw of an abyss waiting for him to walk right into its trap.

Jiang Chuan did not relax in the slightest.

Wang Lie stopped the terrifying black bear for him, but what was even more terrifying was the true form of the ghost.

He was going to burn its remains and kill it completely; it would never sit idly by and wait to die.

It's not just a possibility that they might appear, it's a certainty that they will appear!

maybe,

Right now, it's watching you from some dark corner!

Jiang Chuan lit a torch and stepped into the cave. The flame flickered, but it couldn't penetrate the mist inside.

Visibility was less than two meters in front of me.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew in.

The torch, soaked in grease, was blown out with a "poof".

Inside the cave, darkness returned.

Jiang Chuan felt a chill run down his spine.

But he soon discovered that without a torch, his night vision allowed him to see further, so he simply stopped trying to relight it.

He continued walking, but after a moment he frowned.

The cave was deeper than when he had entered before.

The passageway is longer and has many more branching paths.

It's highly likely that the ghost used its ghostly powers to modify this place!

This is troublesome!

It might have already hidden the wreckage!

Now that he had come this far, Jiang Chuan had no reason to retreat.

Whether the wreckage is still there or not, he has to go inside and investigate!

He continued along the winding mountain cave.

As we rounded a bend, a dark figure suddenly darted out.

The young bear he had killed earlier had now been transformed into a ghost servant.

Its eyes were dark and empty, and its movements were stiff.

Yet it possesses immense strength.

The threat was more than ten times greater than when he had encountered it before!

The young bear demon servant slapped down with its paw, accompanied by a whooshing sound.

Jiang Chuan dodged to the side, and Chi Wen followed up with an upward slash.

As the blade flashed, a foreleg flew off.

But the demon servant felt no pain at all, and its other claw had already grabbed his arm.

Jiang Chuan quickly withdrew his sword to parry.

But it was too late.

On his forearm, a piece of flesh was torn off, skin and all, and blood instantly stained his sleeve!

Jiang Chuan gasped.

This thing is too troublesome.

Even if you are not directly attacked.

If you make physical contact with the other person, a large chunk of your flesh will be torn off!

If it weren't for the sharp divine weapon, Crimson Mark, he would probably have died countless times already!

Jiang Chuan gritted his teeth, his sword strikes becoming even more ferocious.

Cut horizontally,

Vertical split.

The crimson stripe was incredibly sharp, and in the blink of an eye, it cleaved the young bear demon slave into pieces!

The fragments fell to the ground and were still wriggling.

Jiang Chuan tore off a corner of his clothes and used it to quickly bandage the wound.

When I looked down again...

The fragments on the ground had begun to slowly heal.

Without hesitation, he swung his sword twice more, slicing the fragments into even smaller pieces, before continuing deeper into the pit.

Unexpected.

He didn't encounter any other ghost servants on the rest of the journey.

The journey was strangely smooth.

The deepest part of the cave.

He soon spotted the nest made of bones.

But what he saw made Jiang Chuan's pupils shrink!

The corpses of the three bear cubs he had killed.

They were now pieced together.

It even struck a bizarre pose, sitting cross-legged like a human!

That eerie appearance would probably give an ordinary person nightmares for half a month.

Even with Jiang Chuan's strong mental fortitude, he felt a strong sense of unease.

He didn't have time to think much.

The wreckage was right in front of us.

Jiang Chuan quickly took out the tinderbox and the oil can he had prepared in advance.

However, before he could make a move, a chilling aura suddenly came from behind him.

Jiang Chuan was startled.

The ghost is here!

Without a second thought or turning his head, he swung his sword backhand.

At the same time, he felt a chill on his shoulder.

The instant Jiang Chuan swung his sword, he swiftly turned around to face his opponent.

as predicted.

It was that terrifying ghost!

His eyes were dark and empty, and a strange smile was on his lips.

At this moment, it is maintaining the patting shoulder posture.

On its body, a wound that had almost completely cut it open was healing rapidly.

Jiang Chuan saw its raised palm.

A large chunk of flesh and blood was stuck to his palm.

hiss!

Jiang Chuan then felt a sharp pain in his shoulder.

With just a light touch, a large chunk of flesh was torn off!

Fortunately, the injury was to the shoulder.

If that hits a vital spot, even if he has a strong physique, he will die instantly!

"Damn it!"

Jiang Chuan gritted his teeth, feeling such a clear sense of despair for the first time.

Your own attacks are ineffective against the enemy.

But for him, even the slightest touch would be fatal.

How the hell am I supposed to fight this?!

He was completely bewildered.

But the ghost on the other side did not hesitate at all.

His figure flickered and disappeared again, clearly preparing for the next attack.

Jiang Chuan attempted to perceive it using his divine soul.

But in front of this ghost, his senses completely failed, and he couldn't detect its location at all!

Just then, Jiang Chuan suddenly looked at the wreckage that was posed in a strange position.

Either way, it's death.

Let's give it our all!

He flung the oil can out of his hand.

The oil can was smashed on the corpse.

It shattered with a bang.

Flammable grease flowed out and spilled onto the eerie corpse.

Jiang Chuan exhaled, blew on the tinderbox to light it, and then threw it out suddenly.

The fire flask traced an arc in the air.

It was about to spill onto that pool of grease.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed by.

The ghost appeared without warning, directly blocking the flying firecracker. The firecracker landed on it and was swallowed up without making a sound!

Jiang Chuan's hopes plummeted in an instant.

And the ghost didn't even take the opportunity to attack.

It was standing there.

Tilting his head, the smile on his lips became even more pronounced.

It was as if they were deliberately toying with him!

Just like that cunning black bear that likes to toy with its prey!

Jiang Chuan's anger flared, and he cursed, "What a beast!"

He then understood.

Why didn't this ghost show up along the way?

It turns out, they deliberately waited for him to see the wreckage, waiting for the moment when hope would arise in his heart.

Then take action.

He extinguished his hope with his own hands!

He got it.

But it's no use now!

What other way does he have to ignite the flames now?

The answer is no!

With this ghost blocking his way, he has no chance of succeeding!

After Jiang Chuan figured this out...

Without hesitation.

Turn around and retreat!

He no longer had the means to start a fire.

Staying here to fight this ghost to the death will only lead to certain death, without any suspense.

If we can escape, at least we'll have a chance to think of other ways!

He wanted to escape.

But the ghost wouldn't give him a chance.

The ghostly figure vanished in a flash, blocking Jiang Chuan's retreat the next moment.

Jiang Chuan showed no sign of backing down in the face of that ferocious ghost that could kill at the slightest touch.

He brandished the red stripe and roared.

"Get out of here!"

The blade flashed and fell.

But the moment the two made contact, he suddenly changed his form.

He stepped onto the wall next to him, used the momentum to push off, and went around it!

"Idiot, you know you can't win, yet you still insist on fighting to the death?!"

Jiang Chuan cursed under his breath, then charged forward without looking back!

But just after rushing around a corner...

He abruptly stopped in his tracks.

Because an unexpected figure appeared before him.

Wang Lie!

Shouldn't he be outside stopping those demon slaves?!

When Wang Lie saw Jiang Chuan, he was obviously quite surprised, as if he was surprised that he was still alive!

His gaze shifted several times in the darkness.

He quickly replied, "I forgot to tell you how to burn the ghost remains. You step back, I'll handle this!"

"???"

Jiang Chuan was instantly filled with doubt.

Why is he only remembering to mention something so important now?

Then wasn't his earlier act of voluntarily sending him to burn the remains a deliberate act of sending him to his death?!

Jiang Chuan's thoughts raced, and he wasn't fooled.

He immediately drew his knife to stop him.

He pressed, "What have you been hiding from me? What are you trying to do?!"

Seeing his posture, Wang Lie's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

However, it should be noted that Jiang Chuan still retains his full strength.

He held back again.

Instead of answering directly, he retorted aggressively:

"I'd also like to ask you, what exactly is your purpose in opposing the Wang family at every turn?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the mysterious expert who shot and killed Song Kun at the mountain god temple that day must have been you!"

Jiang Chuan fell silent immediately.

Wang Lie was clearly not a fool.

Although I had never shown off my archery skills in front of him.

But in this small Zhang County, there was no one else who could kill Song Kun.

Wang Lie then shouted, "Get out of the way! I need to deal with that ghost now, or do you want to die here with me?!"

Jiang Chuan narrowed his eyes, still refusing to budge an inch.

Because he had discovered something strange.

While he was confronting Wang Lie, the ghost still didn't show itself!

Could it be that it also enjoys watching plays?!

Do not!

It's impossible!

The only explanation is that Wang Lie has something on him that can prevent the ghost from showing itself!

That's right.

It must be like this.

At the inn and on the mountain, the ghost never appeared in front of the two.

It wasn't at all what Wang Lie said; it was fear of the very thing that had killed it.

And it's all because of him!

Jiang Chuan instantly understood everything.

The Wang family enshrined talismans for warding off evil spirits at Chun Jing Lou not only because they knew of the existence of ghosts.

More likely, it's because they've already seen ghosts with their own eyes!

The Wang family has always possessed a method to combat ghosts, but Wang Lie didn't tell me and Shen San Niang the truth!

And now, he even wants to use this ghost for something!

Jiang Chuan's mind raced.

Wang Lie, however, could no longer contain himself.

He, who should have been seriously injured, suddenly unleashed a power that was almost at its peak.

Taking advantage of Jiang Chuan's unpreparedness, he suddenly sprang up, and a dazzling blade of light slashed down at his head!

"Get out of the way!"

The terrifying power of three complete blood nourishment sessions made Jiang Chuan's breath catch in his throat.

He dared not take the hit head-on and quickly dodged to the side.

boom!

The blade struck the stone wall, sending shards of stone flying.

In that instant, Wang Lie had already passed him and rushed into the depths of the cave!

Jiang Chuan wanted to follow, but several figures appeared in front of him.

It's a ghost slave!

Wang Lie did not stop the ghost slave from the outside at all.

He brought all the ghost slaves in!

Several demon servants bared their fangs and brandished their claws.

He lunged at Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan wanted to chase after Wang Lie, but the Ghost Slave was a greater threat, so he was forced to deal with the Ghost Slave in front of him first!

"Damn it, how dare you play me! I trusted you so much before!"

"Oh shit!"

"I should never have believed that there could be any good people in your Wang family!"

When he finally managed to escape and return to the depths of the cave...

The scene before him chilled him to the bone.

Wang Lie's precious sword lay discarded to the side.

And him himself.

They even adopted the exact same cross-legged sitting posture as the corpse!

A bloodstained copper coin was stuck to his forehead, and the ghost was standing right behind him.

But it didn't seem to appear on its own initiative; rather, it seemed to have been forcibly attracted.

The ghost's hands had already disappeared into his back.

Wang Lie, however, did not die suddenly.

The two are slowly merging together!

"ah!!"

Wang Lie let out a painful roar; most of his skin had peeled off, revealing his blood-soaked body.

The ghost was also constantly shifting and struggling, seemingly trying to break free from Wang Lie's body!

Jiang Chuan was also stunned for a moment.

Is Wang Lie forcibly fusing with that ghost through some method?!

But we are faced with this situation.

He should stop it.

Or should we let it continue?

However, before he could make a decision, a strange smile appeared on Wang Lie's half-covered, bloody face.

He slowly opened his eyes, removed the blood-stained copper coin, and said in an icy voice, "Thank you for helping me find the remains of this ghost. You can stay here and wait to die."

After saying that, he vanished from the spot in a flash!
