Chapter 219: Chapter 169 Cross Border Departure_3

"Li Yi!"

However, just at that moment, a hoarse yet angry voice suddenly echoed through Ghost Street.

Someone was actually calling his name.

This unexpected event caused Li Yi’s face to suddenly change, and he instinctively turned toward the sound, only to see an entire troop of ghost soldiers approaching in ancient armor. Some bore Hanging Man Spears, others wielded Ghost Head Big Sabers, and their hollow eye sockets emitted a greenish glow, resembling ghost fire from the underworld and chilling to behold.

Amidst this troop of ghost soldiers, there was a giant ghost, towering over three meters tall, dressed in Gun Clothes and resembling an underworld dignitary. Its face was ashen and bluish, eerily grotesque. At that moment, the giant ghost looked furious, as if it had an age-old grudge against Li Yi.

But Li Yi didn’t recognize this giant ghost; nonetheless, he instinctively felt he should probably run fast, or else being caught by the giant ghost might mean death on Ghost Street.

Without hesitating further, he took out the Mud Horse and dripped his own blood on it.

Stimulated and guided by the blood, a fierce wind immediately surrounded the Mud Horse, and a tall, majestic Yin Horse appeared.

"Go, back to Tianchang City," Li Yi mounted the horse.

The Yin Horse neighed and galloped, carrying Li Yi away.

He tried to use the Yin Horse’s speed to shake off the ghost soldiers and ghost messengers to escape from Ghost Street.

However, the direction in which the Yin Horse was running was exactly where the giant ghost was coming from. Now, with the Yin Horse galloping and carrying Li Yi, it felt like stepping into the tiger’s den, as good as delivering oneself to death.

"I am Meng Changfeng, an ancestor of the Meng Family. In life, I was a Refining God expert. Even after death, my Yin God never extinguished; I reside in Ghost Street. Li Yi, I am aware of your deeds across the Four Seas and Eight Continents, not only did you steal my life span, but you also killed the experts of the Meng Family. You owe ninety years of lifespan and have not repaid it; how could I let you off so easily today."

The Yin God finally revealed the cause of the conflict.

"Ancestor of the Meng Family?"

Li Yi’s expression tightened, and he shouted loudly, "The matter with the Meng Family is settled, Meng Changfeng. Do you wish to start another fight? If you become my enemy today, when I cross over in the future, I am determined to fight with your Meng Family relentlessly, and obliterate your entire house."

"Today you cannot escape your doom; where will you get the chance to seek revenge across borders? All ghost soldiers, kill this man. Do not let him escape from Ghost Street." Meng Changfeng then ordered the ghost soldiers, aiming to finish off Li Yi right there.

As he spoke, the troop of ghost soldiers all floated toward Li Yi for the kill.

These ghost soldiers were not like the previous ghost messengers he had encountered; each was terrifyingly powerful, and even one ghost soldier made Li Yi feel a deadly threat through his intuition. Now, with these ghost soldiers combined, they totaled ten, and with the Yin God pressing from behind, the situation was utterly desperate.

"I’ll fight it out."

Li Yi gritted his teeth, held a Sword Coin, and used his Guiding Skill; his fist glowed brightly, dazzling and radiant.

Luckily, he had encountered ghost creatures while in Sanyang City and had figured out some techniques to deal with them; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to fight back. After all, his opponents were ghost bodies, not living people; normal firearms and fists were useless against them, and injuries meant harming the Divine Soul.

A ghost soldier now brandished a Ghost Head Big Saber and floated up, swinging it down at Li Yi who was riding the Yin Horse.

"Kill."

Li Yi suddenly shouted, his pupils glowing, intending to carve a path of survival on Ghost Street. He threw a punch to meet the falling Ghost Head Big Saber.

The energy field of the Sword Coin combined with the overlay of the Guiding Techniques made this punch powerful enough to shake a ghost soldier. Unfortunately, the Ghost Head Big Saber he had plundered before was left in the mansion in Sanyang City; he hadn’t brought it along, otherwise, he could have had an additional weapon in his hand.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to bring it, but using such a ghost weapon required continuous use of the Guiding Skill, which was too draining and not worth it. Therefore, Li Yi had left it in the mansion, planning to use it again if he had the chance to return to Sanyang City in the future.

The collision tore a ferocious gash in Li Yi’s fist energy field, but it also exhausted the remaining force of the Ghost Head Big Saber, which was then thrown aside.

Seizing this opportunity, Li Yi quickly rode the Yin Horse past the ghost soldier, not wanting to get entangled.

But the next moment.

Another ghost soldier roared and charged, also wielding a Ghost Head Big Saber, and swung it directly at Li Yi’s Yin Horse. Before Li Yi could react, the Yin Horse let out a mournful cry as a huge horse head fell to the ground, then lost its magical features and turned into a puddle of mud.

With the Mud Horse killed, Li Yi stumbled and fell off.

"Damn it." Li Yi quickly stabilized and landed on the ground.

"Without the Yin Horse, where can you escape to? Why not come and meet your death?" Meng Changfeng’s dark bluish face looked even more terrifying, like a hellish judge, ready to execute Li Yi, the troublemaker of Xingzhou, on the spot.

Not killing Li Yi, who was an anomaly, would allow him to cross borders several more times in the future, possibly endangering the Four Seas and Eight Continents, affecting him as a Yin God as well.

Seeing the immense future threat from Li Yi, Meng Changfeng did not hesitate to tear up their previous agreement, determined to cut down Li Yi right there.

To ensure nothing went wrong, he had made thorough preparations, a complete troop of ghost soldiers plus himself as a Yin God blocked the path. Although the other could kill Gang Refining Experts, those were means against living people; they were useless against a Yin God.
