Chapter 19 The White Wraith

The White Wraith frantically spewed out a viscous stream of green blood clots, forcing Wei Linglan and Wei Yueyan to jump back and dodge the green liquid.

The high-impact stream slammed into the ground, creating a series of "hissing" sounds as the cement road was corroded into a massive pit.

The remaining force of the stream scattered into a torrential rain, drenching the red and white servants who couldn't evade in time.

Piercing screams echoed as the red and white servants frantically scratched at the rain-soaked parts of their bodies, tearing their skin open with their claws.

However, this did nothing to stop the green liquid from further eroding and devouring them, hollowing them out entirely.

Eventually, they turned into piles of human-shaped ashes, evenly spread across the ground in various poses.

The White and Red Wraiths, as the top-tier existences on the outermost edge of the mist, had clashed many times. Their strength was roughly equal.

The White Wraith was even slightly weaker – after all, he only had one trick: spitting corrosive poison water.

Once someone got close, he would be torn into shreds, forcing him to flee in pain.

Now, even the Red Wraith was controlled by the man wearing the leopard mask. Could the White Wraith really take on three opponents and pull off an extreme comeback?

Knowing his own limitations, he knew there was no better time to run.

"Poof—"

The White Wraith spewed a torrent of poisonous water, using the lift to propel himself into the air, rapidly retreating.

At the same time, he shook his head constantly, maximizing the coverage of the water stream.

This attack method might seem clumsy, like an automatic sprinkler swaying its head on a lawn,

but it was actually quite effective.

He had died by drowning, his corpse bloated and green, his swollen belly full of foul-smelling gas and stagnant water.

After becoming a wraith, the toxicity of the cold, stagnant water in his belly was terrifying.

Even ghosts that fed on Yin energy couldn't withstand it, and living people couldn't even touch it.

Seeing the White Wraith transform into a sprinkler, spraying jets of freezing poisonous water towards the crowd on the street,

Li Ang flicked his triangular bone spear, tossing the heavily injured Red Wraith to Chai Daixiaojie.

He charged forward, using his spear to lift a bridal sedan chair, flinging the entire chair into the air.

The chair spun upwards, and the Dragon Heat Engine Type: Steel Wings, originally placed on top of the chair, slid off.

Wei Linglan caught it perfectly.

The chair itself was hurled towards the White Wraith in mid-air, blocking the curtain of water aimed at the crowd.

"Hiss—"

The bridal sedan chair was quickly dissolved into a charred pile of black slag, with residual droplets still dripping towards the crowd.

Sensing the danger, Chai Daixiaojie grabbed the Red Wraith's neck with one hand and tossed a concrete slab with the other, blocking the falling droplets of poisonous water.

Wei Linglan also rushed forward, holding her jet-powered greatsword horizontally, activating the sword-shield defense effect, blocking the corrosive droplets used as projectiles.

She didn't allow the poisonous water to harm a single person.

In a flash, the three of them executed a textbook-perfect display of teamwork.

If there were instructors from the Special Affairs Bureau present, they would surely stand and applaud Li Ang and his companions.

The battle was not over.

After throwing away the bridal sedan chair, Li Ang pressed the earphone button,

switching the song in his ear to the classic, "I Believe."

His earlier banter with Chai Daixiaojie

was both to deceive Wei Linglan and to buy time for Li Ang's BGM skill to cool down.

Under the effect of the BGM skill,

this song, overused by sales companies at annual meetings and school rallies, "I Believe,"

could greatly increase Li Ang's jumping ability and slightly increase his airtime for 30 seconds.

It looked like he was hopping around on a planet with very low gravity.

"Want to fly into the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun, the world is waiting for me to change!"

The brainwashing melody came from his earphones.

Li Ang stomped hard on the ground, his legs bending like a slingshot, launching him into the air.

Taking advantage of the brief moment the White Wraith was dissolving the bridal sedan chair, he leaped high into the air.

The bone spearhead in his hand extended, reaching over a dozen meters, stabbing straight down at the White Wraith from above.

The White Wraith caught a glimpse of the spear in the corner of his eye, and almost lost six of his three souls and seven spirits.

He hurriedly raised his head, aiming his sausage lips at Li Ang.

Unfortunately, the latter reacted even faster.

Li Ang directly activated the Shiwu Scattering skill, hitting the White Wraith's lips squarely.

This caused him to involuntarily twist his head, spraying venom that corroded and melted part of the outer wall of a tall building by the roadside.

The White Wraith spun horizontally out of control due to the reaction force of the water stream.

Before he could crash into a building on either side of the street,

Li Ang's triangular bone spear extended again, the bone spearhead twisting and turning like a venomous snake, striking the White Wraith's swollen belly.

Tear—

A sound like tearing cloth rang out.

The White Wraith's abdomen was sliced open,

and a torrent of green, foul-smelling water mixed with seaweed, algae, and dead fish and shrimp gushed out from his ripped belly,

seemingly never-ending, a spectacular sight.

The White Wraith didn't even have the strength to scream, falling straight to the ground.

How could Li Ang let him off so easily? Using the temporary suspension granted by the BGM skill,

he spun the spear, using the bone spine of the spearhead as a whip.

With a violent flick, he firmly wrapped the spear around the White Wraith's sliced-open belly in mid-air,

preventing him from falling to the ground and escaping.

Li Ang turned the spear again, using the end of the long spear to push off the wall of a building, like a pole vaulter propelling himself forward.

He used his slight airtime ability to avoid the range of the waterfall of poisonous water, so he wouldn't step in it.

Pa.

Li Ang landed lightly on the ground, leaning on his triangular bone spear, steadily exhaling a breath of stale air.

Hanging from the spearhead, the White Wraith's opened belly was completely empty.

His face was even paler than before,

looking like he had used a level ten beauty filter, his soul on the verge of dissipating at any moment.

From the moment Li Ang kicked out a piece of gravel that hit the coffin, to the point where he completely injured the White Wraith,

the whole process took only a dozen seconds.

Wei Linglan considered herself a combat elite trained by the Special Affairs Bureau, her combat skills several times stronger than before,

but even if she had all the skills, items, and physical strength that Li Ang had displayed,

it would still be impossible for her to calmly and easily deal with the White Wraith in those short dozen seconds.

Yu Zheng Hai, Ying Tu Ku... I'll remember them!

Wei Linglan etched these two names firmly in her heart, but the expression on her face remained calm and composed.

She watched Li Ang walk slowly towards her, meeting with Wei Yueyan.

He used his long spear to threaten the Red Wraith, whose limbs were crippled, and the White Wraith, whose face was pale and on the verge of death, forcing them to sit together.

"Huff."

Li Ang breathed a sigh of relief, calming the headache caused by the BGM skill consuming his sanity points.

After a long while, he opened his eyes and said to the trembling Red and White Wraiths, "Happy New Year, Big Brother and Sister-in-law."
