I Love Little Watermelon
Chapter 272 Being Hunted
With a crisp "clang," the ice shattered into four or five pieces, and the yin energy dissipated rapidly.
A level-five ghost stone fell to the ground.
Another level-five ghost who hadn't attacked yet was dumbfounded at the sight!
Before it could react, Yuan Muye turned and rushed towards it.
But at this moment, the level-five ghost panicked. Its figure transformed into a streak of black light in an instant, and it fled swiftly, shouting, "Big brother, save me..."
This somewhat panicked voice echoed.
It immediately drew everyone's attention to the level-five ghost.
Everyone could naturally sense how dense the yin energy was around the level-five ghost, and they knew that this ghost's rank was not low, and not just anyone could deal with it.
Yuan Muye activated Ling Bo Wei Bu (Micro Steps on the Water), and his figure was like a ray of light as he quickly chased after it.
"Who is it that has forced a level-five ghost into such a state?"
Someone couldn't help but exclaim.
Captain Li also noticed this scene, and a wave of emotion stirred in his heart. He had seen Yuan Muye take action before.
Back in Miaowang Street, Yuan Muye had once killed a level-five ghost.
But back then, Yuan Muye wasn't this strong. He couldn't have forced a level-five ghost to flee in such panic. But now, Yuan Muye's attack had pushed a level-five ghost into this kind of situation.
Compared to before, Yuan Muye's cultivation and strength had greatly improved.
Captain Li couldn't help but feel a hint of envy in his eyes.
But it was just envy.
Just as Yuan Muye was about to catch up and kill the level-five ghost, a gust of wind pressed down.
Yuan Muye's body was impacted, and a sense of crisis surged in his heart. He immediately stopped chasing.
After being forced to stop, he couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion in his heart.
He muttered, "A level-six ghost..."
At this time, the level-six ghost had transformed into the size of an average person. It wasn't as hideous as other ghosts. Its gaze was deep as it landed on Yuan Muye, and then it slowly said, "A human with early Ning Yuan stage strength?"
Yuan Muye stared at the ghost. A level-six ghost was equivalent to a human cultivator at the peak of the Ning Yuan realm.
Faced with such a ghost, Yuan Muye naturally knew that he was not its opponent.
Of course, it wouldn't be easy for the ghost to kill Yuan Muye either.
"You're the level-six ghost?"
Yuan Muye said calmly.
"How dare you call me a ghost? Very well..."
Its gaze was gloomy, and it released a burst of yin energy. The yin energy began to condense into swords around Yuan Muye.
Yin energy condensing into swords?
Yuan Muye was a little surprised to see this scene.
These swords floated around the level-six ghost, making soft ghostly cries. Driven by the level-six ghost, the swords releasing black light quickly pressed down on Yuan Muye.
Yuan Muye dodged, and these swords carrying black light missed their mark.
But then screams rang out. Yuan Muye looked around and saw two Special Spiritual Division members had directly fallen.
A ghost cultivating to the level-six realm was not to be trifled with.
In the eyes of a level-six ghost, ordinary Special Spiritual Division members were but a moment away from death.
The level-six ghost let out a cold snort, its gaze falling on Yuan Muye again. Then, with a flash, it closed the distance. Yuan Muye's expression changed slightly, and he continued to retreat.
Then, he took out the Big Fish Sword and slashed at the ghost.
The level-six ghost didn't dodge at all. A cloud of black gas appeared around it, quickly swallowing up the aura released by the Big Fish Sword.
"Such petty tricks."
The ghost stepped forward again, and Yuan Muye was forced back by the yin energy.
Without any hesitation, he immediately shouted, "Xiao Yao, come back."
Yuan Muye had a bad feeling. Yuan Xiao Yao heard Yuan Muye's voice and quickly returned to the Big Fish Sword without any hesitation.
This scene was also captured by the level-six ghost. Its expression changed, and it stared curiously at Yuan Muye's Big Fish Sword, then slowly said, "Interesting, you actually have a ghost spirit following you."
Yuan Muye ignored the level-six ghost.
At this time, he didn't hesitate and said, "All Special Spiritual Division members, return to the city immediately and defend the city."
If they didn't go back now, they might be killed by the level-six ghost.
After all, apart from Yuan Muye, it would be impossible for anyone else to withstand a few moves from the level-six ghost.
Hearing Yuan Muye's order, everyone didn't hesitate and began to retreat.
Wang Yajie and Captain Li also quickly evacuated their people, even leaving some corpses on the ground behind.
Seeing that everyone had retreated, Yuan Muye bravely withstood a few attacks from the level-six ghost. He couldn't hold on for much longer, so he began to retreat without any hesitation.
At this time, he clearly felt that the aura within his body was unstable.
He immediately activated Ling Bo Wei Bu and quickly retreated.
His speed was extremely fast, using Ling Bo Wei Bu at its full potential.
A voice rang out behind him, "Boy, don't run if you have the guts."
Along with this voice, Yuan Muye's expression changed slightly, because he felt a sense of oppression. But Yuan Muye didn't show any fear and retorted, "Come and catch me if you can?"
"Negative emotion points from level-six ghost Wu Yue +699..."
So the name of this level-six ghost was Wu Yue.
Yuan Muye's thoughts changed slightly, and he accelerated his escape. The ghost and the human chased each other for half an hour before Yuan Muye completely shook off the level-six ghost.
But for safety's sake, Yuan Muye didn't stop at all and ran for another half an hour. Only when he saw a city ahead did Yuan Muye stop.
But at this time, the aura within Yuan Muye's body was greatly depleted.
He had to find a place to rest first.
Yuan Muye slowed down, restrained the aura within his body, and entered the city. Looking at this huge city, it was now in ruins.
It seemed even more miserable than Huocheng back then.
There were countless corpses on the ground.
Yuan Muye couldn't help but take a deep breath. It wasn't easy for humans to survive.
Before long, Yuan Muye randomly found a house and entered it. He quickly sat down cross-legged.
After meditating for a while, the depleted aura in his body gradually recovered.
But at this moment, the system's voice suddenly rang in Yuan Muye's mind, "Reminder to the host, you are two level-five ghosts away from completing the task of establishing a connection with the Underworld."
Yuan Muye responded softly, but didn't say anything more.
Tonight, Yuan Muye didn't plan to go back. He planned to cultivate in this ruined place first.
