Joe Yelm's Adam's apple bobbed. He turned his head sharply, discovering a dozen large, red lanterns floating behind him.

The lanterns were covered in intricate patterns, making them appear quite beautiful.

Joe Yelm stared intently, cold sweat instantly breaking out. Those weren't patterns; they were capillaries from human skin!

These dozen lanterns were, in fact, human skin lanterns made of human skin!

The breath he had felt earlier was the wind caused by the burning of the human skin lanterns.

The moonlight mixed with the light of the human skin lanterns, creating an incredibly dark and eerie glow.

After killing someone, the skin-peeling ghost hadn't left but had stayed here?

Before Joe Yelm could think further, a swarm of human skin lanterns surged toward him, obscuring the entire sky.

A chilling murderous intent emanated from the hollow eyes and mouths of the human skin lanterns.

The coldness brought by that murderous intent seemed to freeze Joe Yelm's bones.

"Brother Joe Yelm, be careful!"

Zhang Erhe leaped forward, standing in front of Joe Yelm. He raised two fingers and pointed sharply, causing the peach wood sword behind him to fly up instantly.

"Amidst the vast Fengdu, layers upon layers of Vajra Mountains, the immeasurable light of the Spiritual Treasure illuminates the burning pool of煩惱."

"In the Nine Hells, the souls of all sinners follow the fragrant cloud banner, may they be reborn on the blue lotus flower of Samadhi, forever in divine peace."

"Heaven and earth are boundless, break the hell curse! Arise!"

The moment Zhang Erhe finished chanting the spell, a surge of righteousness soared into the sky, directly suppressing the eerie aura created by the countless human skin lanterns.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The peach wood sword, as if controlled by an invisible hand, rapidly shuttled through the sky, piercing through the human skin lanterns in front of Joe Yelm at an extremely fast speed.

Tear!

Like a red-hot knife piercing into lard, the layer of human skin on the lantern began to melt rapidly. Joe Yelm vaguely heard a painful wail.

After the human skin was melted away, the fire of the human skin lantern also extinguished, and it fell to the ground with a thud, leaving only the dark lantern frame.

It wasn't over yet. The peach wood sword continued to pierce through, directly piercing through several human skin lanterns. They had no power to resist in the face of Zhang Erhe's peach wood sword.

The peach wood sword cut through human skin lanterns as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

"Damn it, leave some for me!"

Joe Yelm finally reacted, gripping the Golden Dragon Crescent Blade and rushing forward.

The cold touch from the blade calmed Joe Yelm's mind a lot.

Joe Yelm's crescent blade slashed toward a human skin lantern. In the face of the dense baleful aura, the human skin lantern was as fragile as paper.

[Baleful Aura Value +50]

[Baleful Aura Value +50]

[Baleful Aura Value +50]

These human skin lanterns were extremely fierce, pouncing on Joe Yelm one after another, but they were instantly split in two by the crescent blade in Joe Yelm's hand, becoming baleful aura on the crescent blade.

"Brother Joe Yelm, be careful! These human skin lanterns are just a small trick, the truly terrifying thing is the skin-peeling ghost hiding behind the scenes!" Zhang Erhe reminded while controlling the sword.

Joe Yelm nodded, but the long blade in his hand never stopped, constantly reaping the human skin lanterns.

Just as he was about to chop down another human skin lantern, Joe Yelm suddenly felt a strong palpitation.

Because the eye sockets of this human skin lantern were not hollow, but two eyes emitting yellow light appeared!

The eyes were orange-yellow, with vertical pupils, filled with brutality and indifference to life.

"Crap! There's a sneaky bastard here! wdnmd!"

Joe Yelm stomped hard on the ground and quickly retreated. The moment he retreated, the human skin on the outside of the human skin lantern was suddenly torn apart, and a hand stretched out from the human skin!

The hand was covered with black and red flesh and strange纹路, grabbing towards Joe Yelm's face.

The retreating Joe Yelm crashed into a tree as thick as two people could embrace. Seeing that he could no longer retreat, Joe Yelm activated the Swift Boots, sliding behind the monster hand.

Tear!

A large gash was directly torn open in the trunk of the tree by the monster hand, causing Joe Yelm to feel a burst of palpitations.

If he was caught by that monster hand, even the thickest skin would probably be torn off.

Is the thing behind the human skin lantern the skin-peeling ghost?

"Hello, your skin is very beautiful, very tough, I like it very much, can you give me your skin?" the owner of the monster hand asked expectantly.

It seemed that the thing covered in the human skin lantern was indeed the skin-peeling ghost.

Joe Yelm was stunned. How thick-skinned was this skin-peeling ghost, asking him to give him his skin?

It was like asking a pig before slaughtering it, can you give me your ribs to make braised spareribs?

It had to be said that since arriving at Ghost Mountain, the skin-peeling ghost was indeed the most polite ghost Joe Yelm had encountered.

Not only was the voice not as dry and eerie as other ghosts, but it was as gentle as jade, like a handsome young man from a troubled world, with an indescribable gentleness that made it very pleasant to listen to.

The only downside was that it didn't speak human language.

"Is it okay?" The skin-peeling ghost's yellow vertical pupils revealed longing: "Your skin is different from theirs, your skin is really tough!"

"Dame yo, dame dame." Joe Yelm refused without hesitation.

No wonder the skin-peeling ghost ignored Zhang Erhe and directly attacked him. With a defense of 500 points, how could the toughness of his skin not be strong?

Listening to Joe Yelm's words, the skin-peeling ghost tilted its head slightly. What the hell was this kid talking about? It couldn't understand a word.

"If you don't answer, I'll take it as you agree, I'll take it myself." The human skin lantern where the skin-peeling ghost was located floated towards Joe Yelm, a pair of yellow vertical pupils flashing with excitement.

Just like a child about to get a beloved toy, it was a pure joy from the bottom of its heart.

"Get lost!"

Joe Yelm didn't have the spirit of sacrificing himself for ghosts. He directly slashed with his blade, and the human skin lantern that wrapped the skin-peeling ghost was split in two, revealing the true face of the skin-peeling ghost.

Underneath the human skin lantern was not a handsome young man from a troubled world, but a pitch-black evil ghost covered in black and red flesh.

The skin-peeling ghost's face was even more hideous, so ugly that it would give people nightmares just by looking at it.

Joe Yelm swore that this face had been run over by a truck at least eight hundred times, and then marinated in a septic tank for three years, to be so ugly with such a refreshing and unique effect.

The skin-peeling ghost, exposed in the moonlight, let out a sharp roar, so sharp that even Zhang Erhe, who was still dealing with the remaining human skin lanterns, couldn't help but cover his ears.

Joe Yelm was even shaken back repeatedly, two streaks of blood flowing down his ears, obviously damaging his eardrums.

"I kindly asked you for your human skin, you don't appreciate it and feel grateful, and you even damaged the human skin lantern that I painstakingly made!"

The skin-peeling ghost's voice was sharp, and its pair of yellow vertical pupils turned cyan-red at this moment. A dense Yin energy spread out from the skin-peeling ghost, and the surrounding temperature dropped by several degrees.

"You don't respect the labor achievements of the laboring ghosts at all, now I will not only peel your skin! But also eat your flesh! And swallow your soul!"

Joe Yelm: "???"

"Hey, Ah Peel, do you want to record yourself and listen to what kind of鬼话 you're talking about?"
