Chapter 260 - 177: Cannot Turn for You

Chapter 260: Chapter 177: Cannot Turn for You

Just like a raging thunderstorm roaring from beyond the heavens.

It was as if a heavy truck with failed brakes, its engine madly overloaded, emitting a soul-shaking high-pitched roar, hurtling straight towards the Ghost Market’s master, accompanied by the shrill sound of tires skidding against the ground.

In that instant, the Ghost Market’s master’s expression drastically changed.

Boom!

It activated its cultivation technique, itself like a blazing sun illuminating the entire battlefield, with surging Yang Qi and sky-piercing bloodthirst. There was no sense of any ghostly presence, more like a burning divine furnace.

The Ghost Market’s master let out a long howl and slashed its long knife at the incoming brilliant meteor, drawing a crimson arc filled with a monstrous killing intent.

The collision of the knife and shield sparked a brilliant firework, the metallic vibration spreading in all directions, making everyone’s vision go black. Some almost suffered mental damage, with spirit-type ghosts certainly receiving the worst effect, screaming in unison as their spirit bodies showed signs of disintegration.

Thump, thump, thump!

The Ghost Market’s master was knocked back hundreds of meters before it barely steadied itself, causing a series of massive depressions on the ground, rocks splashing everywhere.

The long knife, entwined with killing intent, kept trembling and even had a crack, while the Ghost Market’s master’s arm went numb, and it was terrified. What kind of artifact was this, so incredibly hard!

Behind the Daybreak Shield, Zhou Yuan shook his head, quickly regaining his senses from the collision’s spiritual shock.

Seeing the disbelieving face of the Ghost Market’s master, he couldn’t help but grin.

"Physical attack immunity, buddy."

If the Ghost Market’s master had used spells or divine skills just now, he might have been in trouble, but physical attacks were nothing to worry about. The Daybreak Shield had the extraordinary ability of "Physical Attack Immunity."

Moreover, the power of each skill was not to be underestimated. Just now, he had used the "Stellar Collision" to smash through the space corridor all the way!

"The Ghost Market’s master, equivalent to a level-five extraordinary person, was a highly decorated general before death, who died in a tragic battle. It woke up after decades of being nourished by Yin Qi and built the Ghost Market with its resurrected subordinates.

A few months ago, it met a strange and powerful ’demon.’ After a generous reception, they conversed for three days and nights, and it was finally convinced, acknowledging the demon as its mentor.

The mentor gave it a peculiar compass, saying it could open the entrance to the Immortal Realm and instructed it to activate it at a specific time point."

Zhou Yuan looked at the crystal compass on the altar. "Is this the thing?"

"This altar is surrounded by over a hundred defense arrays. Unless divine arts are used, they cannot be broken."

Seeing this, Zhou Yuan unhesitatingly used divine arts. He had been fretting about excess Divine Power with nowhere to spend it. Now that he had a way to accumulate faith power, he didn’t need to worry about exhausting his Divine Power without replenishment.

He put away the Daybreak Shield, took out the stone bow, and drew the bowstring, condensing arrows with Divine Power.

Boom!

A world-shaking ripple spread, with vast dark mist erupting outward with Zhou Yuan at its center, causing countless people to be alarmed.

"Wishful thinking!"

The Ghost Market’s master wasn’t about to let him succeed, slashing with its battle knife, bringing a surging killing intent down on Zhou Yuan.

Bam!

Chen Guangxi intervened, standing in front of the Ghost Market’s master, her golden fist clashing with the battle knife, emanating an ear-splitting sound.

She had transformed into a half-dragon, half-human form, with majestic golden eyes blazing like fire and her body covered in golden dragon scales, exuding a sense of sanctity and awe.

"Pal, did you think nothing of me?"

Chen Guangxi held nothing back, her golden dragon fists dazzling and her fist wind roaring like an unstoppable force.

The Ghost Market’s master felt Chen Guangxi’s overwhelming physical power and couldn’t help but change color, pushing its cultivation technique to the limit. Its entire body turned blood-red like a divine furnace, releasing scorching heat as it wielded its battle knife against her fist intent.

The two exchanged nearly a hundred blows in an instant, causing the entire area to shatter.

"Almost becoming a drought demon, impressive. But today, you must die here!"

Chen Guangxi’s eyes emitted a cold brilliance, with a tangible and awe-inspiring divine light radiating outward. Her martial Gang Qi surged like a golden river rolling in the void, crashing forward with her punches.

Crack!

The battle knife that had accompanied the Ghost Market’s master in life and death shattered on the spot, exploding into countless fragments. Its own flesh and blood burst apart, and it was sent flying.

At the same time.

Countless ghost soldiers went to stop Zhou Yuan, but the extraordinary persons here wouldn’t give them the chance, each displaying their divine skills to block the ghost soldiers’ path.

Buzz.

A resonant hum, and Zhou Yuan released the bowstring.

A pitch-black arrow shot out silently, transforming into an absolute darkness that devoured all light and life.

Though there was no ripple, it exuded a hair-raising sense of danger, making the world seem to dim.

Boom!

The moment the divine arts launched, the outcome was already sealed.

Before the arrow of death’s Divine Power, the hundred defense arrays shattered like paper, crumbling instantly.

Zhou Yuan immediately called forth a demonic shadow to seize the crystal compass.

But before the demonic shadow could approach, a hand stretched out from space and grabbed the crystal compass.

Then, a man dressed like Indiana Jones from the Fortune Hunters series walked out of the void, took a crumpled plastic bag from his satchel, and placed it over the crystal compass, isolating its stellar glow.

Zhou Yuan’s eyelid twitched. Plastic bags had this kind of use?

"Anomaly 227, Super Plastic Bag, a plastic bag with incredible toughness and strength. It can isolate all energy inside, even if it’s a plane connection device."

"Ah, so it’s an abnormal item. That’s fine then."

Zhou Yuan recognized this person as Mr Wang, whom he had met on bus 106 before, highly cultivated and capable of snatching things from the Spirit World’s Evil God.

Seeing this big shot appear, Zhou Yuan couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Everything was now stable.

Mr Wang stuffed the plastic bag into his satchel, took a step forward, and stood before the half-dead Ghost Market’s master. With a flick of his finger, a stream of light shot into the Ghost Market’s master’s forehead, immobilizing it like a statue.

"Not bad. A mere fatal injury won’t kill it." Mr Wang let out a sigh of relief.

"Isn’t this old Wang?" Chen Guangxi flew over to greet.

"I happened to be near Xinyue and rushed over upon receiving the summons."

Mr Wang took off his hat to fan himself. "You have no idea how fierce the fight above was. If it weren’t for our numbers, we might not have been able to take them down. The enemy’s cultivation level was quite ridiculous.

Ah... I won’t go into details. I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving first.

I’ll take this one with me as it’s an important clue and needs to be kept."

"Alright, take care." Chen Guangxi bid him farewell.

Mr Wang took the immobilized Ghost Market’s master and left.

With the loss of their top combat power and backbone, the ghostly beings completely lost their resistance and were soon slaughtered by the extraordinary persons.

During this time, Zhou Yuan found a secluded spot to secretly retrieve the always slacking Fang Qing from the battlefield, lest she got accidentally injured.

"Mission ’Two Worlds’ Completed"

"Mission Rating: C (Experience Points and Star Coins rewards unchanged)"

"Comments: Though you were the MVP with key maneuvers, the battle was too easy, so I can’t give you a spin."

"Mission Reward 1: Experience Points*800"

"Mission Reward 2: Star Coins*5000"

"LV38→LV39!"

"Experience Points: 750/1950"

"Distributable Attribute Points: 1"

"Damn, can’t give me a spin." Zhou Yuan laughed angrily, casually adding the attribute point to Perception.

"Perception reached 48 points."

"Done, let’s go back to drinking."

Chen Guangxi stretched, thoroughly enjoying the battle with her body and Qi feeling clear.

While still in her half-dragon, half-human form, her magnificent golden eyes exuded an aura of cold and sanctity. Her bloodstained hands added a sense of dominant wildness and strength.

This rigid yet glamorous appearance made her look like a Valkyrie from myth, dignified and awe-inspiring, like a blazing sun.

Zhou Yuan felt his heart skip a beat and stood stunned until Chen Guangxi noticed, her expression filled with a playful smirk, causing him to quickly regain composure and look away, pretending to be calm.

"Let’s head to the Control Bureau. I’m more curious about what’s going on here."

Zhou Yuan was very curious about the Ghost Market’s master’s "mentor."
