Wunian and the others were chatting.
A loud bang interrupted their conversation.
BOOM!!
A huge hole had appeared on the wall at the far end of the hospital ward corridor. Ghost King was gone, leaving only Zhang Wei standing before the shattered wall, looking out.
The evening breeze blew in, rustling Zhang Wei's clothes.
Although Wunian and Zhang Chao were engrossed in their conversation and hadn't seen what happened, the nurses, patients, and others had.
Just two or three seconds ago.
Ghost King felt Zhang Wei's hair getting shorter, and the power emanating from him became increasingly terrifying, like an ancient fierce beast, the Qiongqi, awakening.
Ghost King was extremely anxious.
Ignoring everything else, it met Zhang Wei's attack head-on, enduring the crackling thunder with its bare hands and grabbing Zhang Wei's arms.
Then, it moved its face directly towards Zhang Wei, its ghost eyes meeting Zhang Wei's.
It could be seen.
As it met Zhang Wei's gaze, the bloodshot, terrifying ghost eyes turned from deep red to black, spreading like ink across the entire eyeball, turning even the whites of the eyes pitch black.
— Ghost Charm.
Immediately after.
The nurses and patients saw Zhang Wei freeze in place for a moment after meeting Ghost King's gaze.
As if his eyes had been charmed by a ghost, he had fallen into a hallucination.
[Ding! Ghost King sees the host frozen in surprise. Haha, General! I won! ]
[Host gains System Points +90]
Ghost King's hanging heart finally settled. Zhang Wei had been affected by its Ghost Charm and was now trapped in a hallucination. Zhang Wei was now at its mercy.
[Ding! Ghost King sneers. So what if your hair gets shorter and you get stronger? Under my Ghost Charm, you will still die, hahaha… SLAP!!! ]
[Host gains System Points +150]
SLAP!!
A crisp and loud sound.
Zhang Wei slapped Ghost King across the face with such force that the sound was like two iron pots crashing together.
Just as Ghost King's lips curled up, it suddenly felt a tremendous force on its left cheek, instantly making its left cheek burn with pain.
[Ding! Ghost King covers its left cheek, stunned. It hurts so much, what the heck?! No. ]
[Host gains System Points +150]
Without time to feel the burning pain on its left cheek, Ghost King's pupils contracted, and it looked at Zhang Wei in disbelief.
"How… how are you not affected by my Ghost Charm…"
[Ding! Ghost King is shocked. ]
[Host gains System Points +170]
As a Ghost King, it knew very well the power of its Ghost Charm. Even though Zhang Wei now possessed strength comparable to its own, its Ghost Charm was peerless among its peers. It had once used Ghost Charm to kill a Qilin Guard of the same level.
Now that it had become a Ghost King, the effect of Ghost Charm was even greater, and it was impossible for Zhang Wei not to be charmed.
In this regard.
Zhang Wei grinned and casually replied, "Because I've seen snis-850."
Ghost King: "???... What is that?"
"A license plate number," Zhang Wei grinned, revealing a row of white teeth.
Ghost King: "????"
[Ding! Ghost King frowns, confused. Are you kidding me? Looking at a license plate number can prevent my Ghost Charm? By the way, is there such a license plate? ]
[Host gains System Points +180]
A cold system voice sounded in its mind.
The next second.
Another system voice sounded in Zhang Wei's mind.
[Ding! Recycle eyes 15000 System Points]
[Ding! Enhance legs 15000 System Points]
Under the boost of the experience card and system points, Zhang Wei kicked Ghost King.
BOOM!!
Although Ghost King reacted and defended, Zhang Wei's kick not only crackled with the power to expel evil spirits but also carried the immense force of a truck collision.
"Ah!!!"
Ghost King was sent flying by the kick, like a cannonball, whistling through the air with a rumbling sound. In an instant, it flew through the corridor and smashed into the wall at the end, creating a large hole.
Dust billowed.
Wall fragments flew everywhere. When the dust settled, everyone saw…
It was nighttime.
The night sky was filled with brilliant stars, and the silver moon hung high.
Bathed in the moonlight outside the wall, Zhang Wei's back was clearly visible to everyone. He stood before the broken wall, looking down. His clothes rustled in the evening breeze.
This scene.
Was deeply imprinted in their eyes, unforgettable for a lifetime.
… That night, a young man, carrying the thunderous might of slaying evil and vanquishing demons, kicked a terrifying fierce ghost away.
Suddenly.
As everyone was lost in thought.
As if sensing something, the nurses and patients looked over, their faces filled with shock and change.
They saw Zhang Wei, standing before the broken wall, looking down outside the wall. The next moment, he leaped out.
"Holy crap?!"
"Ah!"
Many nurses and patients screamed in fear.
This was not the first floor, but the fifth floor, the top floor of the hospital. A person jumping from the fifth floor.
Immediately after.
A thud was heard from outside the hole in the wall, like a heavy object falling. This was followed by the continuous sound of car alarms.
Even without looking, everyone present knew what had happened.
Most likely, Zhang Wei had jumped from the fifth floor, and the impact of his landing had triggered the car alarms in the parking lot below.
Wunian and Zhang Chao were the first to reach the outside of the wall and look out.
Indeed.
They saw Zhang Wei in the parking lot below, having jumped from the fifth floor. He landed with bent legs, slowly stood up, unharmed, which was an unbelievable sight for someone who had jumped from the fifth floor.
Then.
Zhang Wei looked up at the front.
In front of him, yin energy surged. After being kicked out of the hospital by Zhang Wei, Ghost King had not sustained much damage. Then, without a word, Ghost King turned into a stream of yin energy and fled the hospital.
Ghost King had run away.
It had chickened out. After witnessing that Ghost Charm was ineffective against Zhang Wei, coupled with the pressure from Zhang Wei's continuous hair trimming, Ghost King became fearful and chose to escape.
In response.
Zhang Wei slowly walked in the direction Ghost King had fled, picking up his hair clipper to trim his hair at a leisurely pace.
As strand after strand of hair fell.
The terrifying aura emanating from him increased steadily.
In a short while.
When the last strand of hair fell, his hair was trimmed to a buzz cut.
Zhang Wei turned off the hair clipper.
Then, as if sensing their gaze from upstairs, he turned to look at Wunian and Zhang Chao standing in the fifth-floor wall hole, gave them a thumbs-up, and grinned.
"Watch this, I'm going to show off."
With that said.
WHOOSH!!!
Zhang Wei assumed a starting stance for running. The next second, his body erupted with lightning, as if he had transformed into a bolt of lightning. With a whoosh, he shot out, leaving a zig-zagging streak of lightning in the night.
Wunian and Zhang Chao stared in stunned silence.
After a full few seconds, Zhang Chao murmured,
"Damn, Zhang Wei really showed off. That was so cool…"
Wunian clasped his hands together:
"Amitabha, is this the strength of a Ghost King level ghost exorcist…"
Not long after.
Zhang Wei returned, smiling, waving at them from a distance as he walked towards them.
Zhang Chao and the others focused their gaze on Zhang Wei's other hand, where he was carrying something.
It was…
Ghost King's head.
