These talismans, when placed, virtually covered the entire city wall, as if dressing it in armor.

This made Yuan Muye extremely curious.

He had never seen this type of defensive formation before.

But then he understood; after being reborn in Fire City, Yuan Muye hadn't participated in any city defense operations.

And he had never seen so many evil ghosts gathered together.

Yuan Muye shifted his gaze and saw the incredibly dense mass of evil ghosts below—at least hundreds, if not thousands.

It wouldn't be too difficult for so many evil ghosts to attack a city like this.

After all, there were only about a hundred paranormal special forces in all of Yanjiang County.

Even with reinforcements, there would only be a little over a hundred.

But fortunately, most of the evil ghosts here were low-level, and with the protective talismans, they should be able to hold them off for a while.

Hopefully, the situation wouldn't be too bad. Now, these evil ghosts were gathered, ready to attack at any moment.

At this moment, Captain Li said to Yuan Muye, "Deputy Director Yuan, what are your instructions?"

Captain Li was asking Yuan Muye for instructions?

Yuan Muye looked at Captain Li and said calmly, "Preserve yourself while killing as many evil ghosts as possible."

"Alright."

Neither of them wasted any words.

The next second, the evil ghosts attacked. Countless evil ghosts charged towards the talisman-covered city wall.

But as they hit the wall, bursts of yellow light erupted, and some low-level evil ghosts were instantly reduced to ashes.

Ghost stones began to fall to the ground.

Yin energy constantly spread, and the yellow light seemed to be suppressed somewhat.

It seemed these low-level evil ghosts were just being used as cannon fodder.

To exhaust the spiritual energy of the city's protective magic, and then the high-level evil ghosts would attack.

Thinking of this, Yuan Muye's heart sank slightly.

At this moment, some level three and four evil ghosts had already torn open a talisman, creating a gap.

Someone quickly shouted, "Not good! The evil ghosts are coming up!"

As soon as the voice fell, Captain Li moved without hesitation, quickly rushing forward.

Wang Yajie stayed by Yuan Muye's side the whole time.

After a while, Yuan Muye said, "Yajie, go help out too."

Wang Yajie responded, and the two sides quickly engaged in battle.

If it weren't for these protective talismans, probably very few of the paranormal team members here would have survived.

At this time, some level five evil ghosts also launched an attack. Level five evil ghosts were exactly what Yuan Muye needed most right now. Seeing level five evil ghosts appear, Yuan Muye didn't hesitate and went to meet them.

A strong aura immediately emanated from his body.

The level five evil ghost, upon meeting Yuan Muye, suddenly changed its expression.

This was a huge level five evil ghost. It probably had devoured too many living souls, and its body had mutated. It was almost half the height of the city wall.

The yin energy it released was even more monstrous.

Some paranormal team members of insufficient level were already trembling all over, struggling to stand firm, just from feeling the aura released by the level five evil ghost.

After seeing Yuan Muye, the evil ghost let out an angry roar and immediately attacked Yuan Muye.

But after only a few moves, the evil ghost was completely suppressed by Yuan Muye, with no chance to fight back.

In a flash, Yuan Muye completely killed the evil ghost.

After the level five evil ghost was killed, a ghost stone fell to the ground. Yuan Muye quickly picked it up.

The cold light around him began to retract.

With Yuan Muye's current strength, dealing with a level five evil ghost was no problem at all.

This scene was seen by an evil ghost nearby, which immediately widened its eyes in fright and trembled all over. It immediately wanted to run away.

It was only a level two evil ghost. Yuan Muye immediately said to Yuan Xiaoyao, "Xiaoyao, it's your turn."

Yuan Xiaoyao smiled, "Brother, I know."

Her figure flashed, and the level two evil ghost was devoured.

"Be careful, there are a lot of evil ghosts here..."

Yuan Muye didn't plan to restrain Yuan Xiaoyao any longer; he would let her take action on her own.

Hearing Yuan Muye's words, Yuan Xiaoyao naturally understood his meaning, and without any further delay, she quickly took action, devouring all the low-level evil ghosts nearby.

At this time, in the chaotic battle, no one noticed this.

As Yuan Xiaoyao devoured more evil ghosts, the yin energy around her gradually became more and more prosperous.

It faintly seemed she was about to break through her current level.

Yuan Muye's attacks were also quite swift and fierce. For some low-level evil ghosts, Yuan Muye could easily kill ten or eight with a wave of his hand.

In the blink of an eye, ghost stones littered the ground around Yuan Muye.

The sight of the dense ghost stones made some paranormal team members envious, but in the current situation, no one dared to pick them up.

"How dare you! You actually killed so many of our ghost spirits! You're courting death!"

Two level five evil ghosts quickly turned their attention to Yuan Muye. Yuan Muye had mostly fought one-on-one before, never one-on-two, so he wasn't very confident right now.

Looking at the two evil ghosts in front of him, Yuan Muye's expression changed slightly.

He immediately seized the opportunity and directly attacked one of the level five evil ghosts.

As his figure flickered, ice quickly formed on the ground, and frost released a strong chill. Seeing this, the pupils of the two level five evil ghosts suddenly contracted. Without any delay, they quickly began to dodge.

But just as they dodged, Yuan Muye chased after them and struck out with a palm. A huge Bagua diagram (eight trigrams) appeared in his hand, directly pressing down on the level five evil ghost.

Seeing the Bagua diagram pressing down, the level five evil ghost's pupils changed slightly, but it didn't delay and quickly attacked to meet it.

It released a burst of black energy from its hand. This burst of black energy was quite dense and seemed to be corrosive.

It quickly shattered the approaching Bagua diagram. This scene immediately made Yuan Muye's expression change.

But he quickly regained his composure. After all, the Bagua Palm technique was not of a high level itself. Yuan Muye had never spent time practicing it, and it was only at its initial level.

It was normal that it couldn't withstand the attack of a level five evil ghost.

Seeing that it had successfully shattered Yuan Muye's Bagua Palm, the level five evil ghost revealed a sinister smile and said with a malicious look, "Boy, let's see what other tricks you have!"

Yuan Muye's expression changed slightly, and he slowly said, "I have plenty of tricks."

Yuan Muye didn't delay and quickly released the twelfth level of the Frost Palm. Not giving the evil ghost any chance to react, he directly froze the level five evil ghost in front of him.

Then, Yuan Muye swiftly approached and punched the level five evil ghost.
