The man was dressed in ragged clothes, his appearance no different from that of a human. However, the ghostly aura emanating from him was heavy, a kind of power completely different from the internal energy of human cultivators. Just by this alone, one could tell he was not human.

This was the main basis for distinguishing between humans and the Ghost Clan.

He appeared to be in his twenties, his gaze sweeping around, a hint of confusion in his eyes as if he didn’t quite understand his current situation.

“I’ve woken up, the chance to leave this place has come.”

He muttered to himself, his eyes flashing with excitement as he spoke.

At this moment, he also noticed Li Hengsheng and his group: “Humans, you’ve come again.”

The disciples were somewhat nervous facing the Ghost Clan for the first time, even though they could sense that the ghostly aura of the Ghost Clan member before them was not very strong, merely at the ordinary Postnatal Realm.

Li Hengsheng, who had been somewhat nervous before, seemed less so upon seeing this member of the Ghost Clan.

He calmly observed the man.

He had seen powerful members of the Ghost Clan before.

Back at the Star Palace, the Yin Tenth Floor, the powerful figures from the Long Night Ancient Nation who had tried to forcibly take Lu Qiaoqiao away had a much stronger ghostly aura than this Ghost Clan member.

What was this in comparison?

At this moment, the sounds of battle and various screams echoed throughout the Sky-Overturning Ghost City. The chilling sounds, whether they were from humans or the Ghost Clan, were enough to make one’s hair stand on end.

The city seemed to have instantly turned into a purgatory on earth.

“Die!”

Before anyone else could react, Li Hengsheng was the first to make a move.

With a step forward, Li Hengsheng raised his hand and pointed, not even drawing a weapon.

The Ghost Clan member saw that Li Hengsheng was also in the Postnatal Realm, but was audacious enough to try to kill him, which enraged him. The physical bodies of their Ghost Clan were much stronger than those of humans!

So, he also raised his hand and threw a punch. Above the fist wind, ghostly aura filled the air, roaring and transforming into a giant elephant that crushed down.

He wanted to show Li Hengsheng his strength.

However, he was clearly overconfident. Li Hengsheng’s Wave Stacking Finger hadn’t even reached the Ghost Clan member when the internal energy that burst out pierced through the Ghost Clan member’s giant elephant. His entire arm was obliterated under Li Hengsheng’s finger!

Puff!

Another finger pointed out, directly piercing a bloody hole in the Ghost Clan member’s skull.

The Ghost Clan member died on the spot.

He never expected that a human of the same realm could kill him without even giving him a chance to fight back.

Facing the Ghost Clan member he had personally killed, Li Hengsheng’s heart was as cold as ice, without the slightest discomfort. He had no good feelings towards the Ghost Clan.

As the Ghost Clan member died, a breath flew out from his body and was absorbed into the iron plate at Li Hengsheng’s waist.

“Fourth Brother, not bad.” Zhou Jun’s eyes lit up, giving Li Hengsheng a thumbs up.

“Brother Li, you’re so brave.” A female disciple in the team immediately had stars in her eyes.

Before Li Hengsheng could speak, the ghostly aura around them became denser, and more members of the Ghost Clan appeared, their cultivation levels varied, and even Ghost Clan experts at the peak of the Postnatal Realm appeared.

“Everyone, focus! Don’t get hurt.” Zhou Jun shouted.

Everyone knew there was no time for idle talk and began to fight.

At this point, the entire Sky-Overturning Ghost City was in chaos, the sounds of battle could be heard everywhere, and the light of various weapons was earth-shattering.

Li Hengsheng didn’t know how many more Ghost Clan members would appear, so to conserve energy, he didn’t draw his spear, but used the Wave Stacking Finger to kill all the way.

With the Sun-Moon Immortal-Demon Divine Body, Li Hengsheng’s internal energy was surging, incomparable to others. Even Ghost Clan members at the peak of the Postnatal Realm found it hard to withstand three of Li Hengsheng’s fingers, which would surely kill them.

Gradually, more and more members of the Ghost Clan appeared.

The originally relaxed human disciples also slowly began to feel the pressure.

Many experts were watching the battle, fearing any accidents. If a Ghost Clan member beyond the peak of the Postnatal Realm appeared, they would have to step in.

Because that was not something ordinary disciples could handle.

Chen Guan of the Gate of No Return held a large knife in his hand, killing two Ghost Clan members in the Transcendence Realm. His clothes were dyed red with blood, which seemed even colder in the chilly wind. After killing them, the breath that flew out from the Ghost Clan members’ bodies also entered the iron plate at his waist.

But at this time, no one was paying attention to these things.

The more they fought, the greater the pressure everyone felt, because these Ghost Clan members seemed endless, appearing more and more under the black night sky.

“Sister, can you hold on?” After Chen Guan, who was at the peak of the Postnatal Realm, killed a Ghost Clan member with two slashes, he turned his head and asked his junior sister Yang Si, who was not far away.

It was the woman with light makeup from the daytime.

Yang Si’s figure was graceful, a long sword in her hand blooming with sword flowers. In just a short while, she had already killed four or five Ghost Clan warriors. Hearing Chen Guan’s words, she smiled and said, “Don’t worry, brother. Although there are many Ghost Clan members, their strength is average. They can’t hurt me at all.”

As soon as her words fell, Yang Si felt a surge of ghostly aura rushing towards her from behind!

“Trying to ambush me?”Yang Si sneered coldly, her figure turning as elusive as a fish in water. The long sword in her hand struck out, its light blooming like a flower, heading straight for the incoming Ghost Clan member!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sword flower made a dull sound, but it failed to break the opponent’s defense!

Yang Si’s face changed.

Only then did she see clearly that the Ghost Clan member in front of her was tall and burly, nearly two meters in height. His expression was cold, and his physical body was incredibly strong.

“Too weak, isn’t it?” The Ghost Clan member said with a faint smile.

After speaking, he reached out and grabbed Yang Si’s sword.

The long sword couldn’t even cut his skin in his hand. With a pull, Yang Si was directly dragged over.

“It’s a Mountain Ghost!”

Yang Si’s face turned pale with shock.

She never expected to encounter a Mountain Ghost.

The Ghost Clan had different races. The most common were the ordinary Blood Ghosts, like Yan Dongchen, who fed on human blood for cultivation and recovery.

In the Cloud Wilderness, Blood Ghosts were the most numerous of the Ghost Clan. Other Ghost Clan members were not as numerous, but they were diverse, and the Mountain Ghost was one of them.

Mountain Ghosts were tall and strong, almost impervious to swords and spears. A Mountain Ghost that had reached the Prenatal Realm could fight three humans of the same realm.

It was terrifying.

So when Yang Si saw a Mountain Ghost in front of her, she was stunned.

The Mountain Ghost pulled Yang Si in front of him and grabbed her wrist with his thick arm.

Like being caught in iron pincers, Yang Si screamed.

“Senior Brother, save me!”

Hearing Yang Si’s voice, Chen Guan, who was fighting, was also shocked. He turned his head abruptly and saw a scene he would never forget in his life!

The Mountain Ghost grinned, then pulled hard, tearing off one of Yang Si’s arms.

In an instant, Yang Si’s shoulder was a bloody mess!

“Junior Sister!”

Chen Guan shouted, his eyes instantly turning blood red. He stomped on the ground and rushed up!

Seeing Yang Si’s current state, Chen Guan’s teeth were about to shatter, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

“I’ll kill you!”

He swung his large ring knife, and the blade’s light faintly carried the momentum of a fierce tiger, its power astonishing!

The Mountain Ghost stepped back two steps, using his arm to block the descending blade!

Bang!

The heavy force shattered the stone slab under the Mountain Ghost’s feet, and a mark appeared on his arm, blood flowing out.

He was forced to retreat a few steps, smashing the broken wall behind him.

Chen Guan didn’t care about these. He quickly came to Yang Si’s side. At this time, Yang Si was already lying in a pool of blood, one arm missing.

Her face was pale, and she was in so much pain that her lips were trembling. She couldn’t speak, but she looked at Chen Guan with tears in her eyes.

Chen Guan was heartbroken. He quickly took out a Blood Coagulation Pill and put it in Yang Si’s mouth.

At least stop the bleeding first, otherwise, she could easily die from blood loss.

“Junior Sister, hang in there. You’ll be fine. I’ll take you back right away,” Chen Guan hurriedly said.

“Go back?”

At this time, the Mountain Ghost that Chen Guan had just repelled crawled out of the ruins, dusted off the dirt on his body. The blow just now was nothing to him. He sneered, “Not to mention her, even you won’t be able to go back.”

Chen Guan’s face darkened. He helped Yang Si to the side. Yang Si grabbed the corner of Chen Guan’s clothes with her other hand, her eyes pleading, “Senior Brother, you go quickly. Don’t worry about me. You’re not his match.”

But Chen Guan ignored Yang Si’s words and stood up, looking solemnly at the Mountain Ghost.

This Mountain Ghost was at the peak of the Postnatal Realm, and so was he. But his full-strength attack just now failed to severely injure the Mountain Ghost, merely scratching the surface. He knew this Mountain Ghost was hard to deal with.

But looking at Yang Si behind him, Chen Guan knew that even if he had to risk his life today, he had to make this Mountain Ghost pay!

Meanwhile, elsewhere, a similar life-and-death struggle was taking place.

From the initial tension of the crowd to the current bloodlust.

Everyone was experiencing the cruelty of war for the first time.

If you don’t kill the ghosts, the ghosts will kill you.

On this battlefield, there can be no hesitation. The slightest hesitation will get you killed.

Seeing their close brothers and sisters dying in pools of blood, many people went mad, fighting desperately for revenge.

At this time, all Li Hengsheng could think about was the scene of the Ghost Clan taking Lu Qiaoqiao away.

So Li Hengsheng showed no mercy.

The Chasing Immortal Spear was already unsheathed.

Holding the Chasing Immortal Spear, Li Hengsheng was almost unstoppable. Forty or fifty Ghost Clan members had already died at his hands, including those in the Postnatal Realm and the peak of the Postnatal Realm.

Zhou Jun, as a top expert in the Postnatal Realm, was also ruthless. Three Ghost Clan members at the peak of the Postnatal Realm had already died at his hands.

The disciples fought further and further, and the blood of the rushing Ghost Clan members dyed the streets of the Sky-Overturning Ghost City red.

The air was filled with the smell of blood.

Even the disciples of Medical King Valley had transformed into fierce warriors at this moment.

Although their combat skills were poor, the disciples of Medical King Valley stuck together, never fighting alone.

Therefore, there were very few ghosts that could take advantage of them.

What the disciples of Medical King Valley didn’t expect was that among them, there was a person whose swordsmanship was divine!

Yin Changli.

Yin Changli, with his sword, was responsible for almost all the damage dealt.

His swordsmanship seemed to lack killing power, but every strike could slay ghosts, and there was even a special rhythm to it.

His sword was as fast as lightning, swift as a startled swan.

Even though he was only in the Postnatal Realm, even the ghosts of the same realm couldn’t withstand a single strike from Yin Changli.

A sword strike right between the eyebrows.

Instant death.

This truly opened the eyes of the disciples of Medical King Valley. If they didn’t know better, they would have thought that Yin Changli was a disciple of a Sword Venerate.

If Li Hengsheng were here, he would definitely be shocked by Yin Changli’s sword. Yin Changli had actually reached the realm where the sword followed his heart!

If Yin Changli were a disciple of a Sword Venerate, it would be understandable. But he was just a disciple of Medical King Valley, where few people seriously practiced swordsmanship. Yet he was able to reach this level.

No one knew that although Yin Changli didn’t have a Sword Venerate as a master, he had a sword!

A wooden sword.

A Xuanyuan sword carved from immortal wood.

This sword allowed Yin Changli’s understanding of swordsmanship to grow day by day.

Thus, he reached his current realm.

“Hahaha, killing is so satisfying, you ghost brats, come to your grandpa and meet your death!”

In an open street, a muscular disciple with an iron knife slaughtered ten ghosts that appeared in the alley.

His iron knife was still dripping with blood.

He was a disciple of the Iron Knife Sect, named Zhou Ni. He was at the peak of the Postnatal Realm. The knife technique of the Iron Knife Sect was bold and powerful, and Zhou Ni was one of the top disciples in terms of strength.

Just now, ten blood ghosts swarmed him, including one in the peak of the Postnatal Realm, but none of them could handle Zhou Ni. They all died under his iron knife.

Zhou Ni thoroughly enjoyed the killing.

“Hehe, are there no more ghost brats?” Zhou Ni roughly pulled up the clothes of a dead ghost, wiping the blood off his iron knife.

At this moment, Zhou Ni suddenly frowned and looked towards the end of the alley.

He vaguely saw a figure there.

But the alley was a dead end, and no one had come in before, so it must be a ghost.

“No ghost aura?”

As Zhou Ni walked towards the end of the alley, he curiously asked, “Who is it? Who’s there? Which sect are you from?”

But there was no answer.

The closer he got, the clearer he could see. The person was strange, wearing a long skirt and holding a red oil-paper umbrella.

The umbrella covered the face, making it impossible to see clearly.

“Who is it?”

Zhou Ni had already sensed something was wrong. Even if it wasn’t a ghost, it was still very suspicious.

So he had already positioned his iron knife in front of him.

He slowly approached the figure.

“Hehe.”

A giggling voice came.

The voice sounded like a girl, but it was somewhat creepy.

“Big brother, you’re so brave. I kind of like you,” the voice echoed in Zhou Ni’s ears.

Upon hearing this voice, Zhou Ni’s head buzzed, and his consciousness became somewhat blurry, which made his face change.

At this moment, the figure slowly lifted the red oil-paper umbrella.

Under the umbrella was a girl, but she had no face!

There was nothing on her face, no eyes, no nose, and no mouth, just a void.

“Illusion Ghost!”

Zhou Ni was taken aback, his body breaking out in a cold sweat. He never thought he would encounter an Illusion Ghost!

He remembered a saying from the elders in his sect: if you see the face of an Illusion Ghost, it means you have fallen into its illusion. At this point, you are in danger.

“Hehe.”

The graceful figure, still holding the umbrella, slowly walked out of the alley.

Behind her, Zhou Ni’s head rolled down.

Fear was still etched on his face.
