Chapter 15 The Horrified Crowd

The people inside the vehicle started to panic.

Feeling waves of chilling yin energy pressing down, the people in the car just wanted to escape.

Xiao Jian spoke up at this moment, "We can't leave yet, there's still someone who hasn't gotten on."

Upon hearing Xiao Jian's words, everyone's expression twisted in anger. "What are we waiting for? If we don't leave, we'll all die!"

"It's just one person, Xiao Jian, you have to understand, we're talking about the lives of everyone in the car."

"He's from the Supernatural Special Forces Bureau, he has skills. We don't need to wait for him."

Everyone started chattering at once.

Everyone wanted to ditch Yuan Mu Ye and leave.

The crowd urged the driver to start the car, but without orders, the driver didn't move.

Even though they were extremely anxious.

Hearing this, Xiao Jian still argued, "He saved us. If it weren't for him, we'd all be dead here."

But no one listened to him.

At this moment, Wang Yajie got into the car, his expression shifting slightly as he saw the chaotic scene. He then asked, "What are you doing?"

"Captain Wang, where's Brother Yuan?"

Xiao Jian asked anxiously.

Wang Yajie frowned slightly and said calmly, "Deputy Director Yuan told us to leave first."

"Driver, did you hear that? Drive quickly."

The crowd began to urge the driver.

Seeing this, Wang Yajie felt a little displeased. The group in the car were acting like ingrates.

In this chaotic world, managing to survive could be considered extremely difficult.

Now that the people in the car had been rescued, it was all thanks to Yuan Mu Ye. Without Yuan Mu Ye, who knew how long they could have lasted?

Although Wang Yajie was unhappy, he didn't want to disrupt the overall plan.

After all, these were Yuan Mu Ye's orders, so he said to the driver, "Drive."

The driver, hearing his words, paused slightly, then asked, "Captain Wang, Deputy Director Yuan hasn't arrived yet."

"It's fine, Brother Yuan told us to leave first."

Finally, with the go-ahead, the driver didn't hesitate. He slammed on the gas, and the car sped off like an arrow released from a bow.

The crowd breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the car moving.

…

Meanwhile, Yuan Mu Ye watched the approaching evil ghost. It was menacing, with three heads and six arms, surrounded by dense yin energy. From time to time, ghostly figures emerged from within this yin energy.

These were obviously living souls that hadn't been completely consumed, now struggling within the yin energy, trying to escape. But under these circumstances, escape was practically impossible.

Yuan Mu Ye's expression turned serious at the sight of this.

The evil ghost approached, its gaze quickly locking onto Yuan Mu Ye. "Interesting, you seem a bit strong. Your living soul must be delicious."

After saying that, it let out a series of harsh and unpleasant "keke ke" laughter.

It stared intently at Yuan Mu Ye, as if wanting to devour him alive.

Although Yuan Mu Ye was somewhat surprised, he remained calm on the surface, without any excessive panic.

Anyway, he didn't need to kill the evil ghost in front of him, he just needed to stall it for a moment, and then find an opportunity to run.

"Boy, don't struggle in vain. It will save you a lot of pain. Otherwise, I will make you pay a heavy price."

"Is that so?"

Yuan Mu Ye said.

The Dayu Sword in his hand was immediately unleashed, a faint light swirling around it, before emitting a piercing sound and slashing towards the evil ghost.

Yuan Mu Ye was fearless, unable to discern the origin of this evil ghost.

He also knew nothing about its strength.

He originally thought that striking with the Dayu Sword would at least cause the evil ghost to take him seriously.

But to Yuan Mu Ye's surprise, the evil ghost suddenly raised its hand, and a surge of thick yin energy erupted from one of its arms, swiftly swatting the Dayu Sword away.

With a crisp sound, the Dayu Sword quickly returned to Yuan Mu Ye's hand.

This scene caused his pupils to dilate suddenly, a look of disbelief appearing in his eyes.

This strike didn't even harm the evil ghost in the slightest.

Just what kind of strength did this evil ghost possess to be so powerful? Yuan Mu Ye became more cautious.

The evil ghost now wore a sneer and continued, "Not bad, a mere tickle. You do have some strength. Feel free to unleash any other skills you have."

Yuan Mu Ye stared at the evil ghost, suppressing his shock, and asked, "With your strength, you must be someone of renown, right?"

"Haven't you even heard of my name?"

The evil ghost stared at Yuan Mu Ye with some curiosity.

Yuan Mu Ye hadn't heard of any ghosts. He hadn't bothered to learn about them. He couldn't come into contact with these high-level ghosts in a place like Fire City.

"So, how should I address you?"

"I am Guishan Lao Zu."

Yuan Mu Ye paused for a few seconds upon hearing these words, even though he still hadn't heard of the name.

"What's wrong? Scared silly?"

Guishan Lao Zu said with a confident look. Anyone who heard his name would be terrified.

"Never heard of it."

Yuan Mu Ye blurted out.

As soon as the words landed, Yuan Mu Ye immediately received Guishan Lao Zu's negative emotional value, "Negative emotional value from Guishan Lao Zu +699…"

"Boy, very well, you're courting death!"

Guishan Lao Zu was clearly enraged, and struck Yuan Mu Ye with a palm, bringing with it immense yin energy.

Yuan Mu Ye flashed to the side, but the yin energy still enveloped him.

Yuan Mu Ye unleashed a Lion's Roar at the yin energy, instantly causing it to dissipate somewhat, but not completely. It still pressed down on Yuan Mu Ye.

Forced to act, Yuan Mu Ye had no choice but to use the Dayu Sword again, striking out, and the yin energy finally dissipated.

However, Yuan Mu Ye had already mobilized most of the aura in his body.

This meant that there was a huge disparity in strength between the two.

Yuan Mu Ye was shocked. Guishan Lao Zu sneered and instantly transformed into a ghostly shadow, like a shooting star, attacking Yuan Mu Ye again. A huge ghost palm covered in yin energy pressed down on Yuan Mu Ye.

Yuan Mu Ye's pupils shrank. Without any hesitation, he unleashed the thirteenth level of the Frost Palm.

The massive palm in front of him was instantly frozen, suspended in the air.

Guishan Lao Zu's expression also changed slightly upon seeing this.

He suddenly let out a hissing roar, and the yin energy increased more than twofold.

Yuan Mu Ye was startled and released the thirteenth level of the Frost Palm again. This time, after Yuan Mu Ye unleashed it, the entire area within tens of thousands of meters instantly froze.

At the same time, he used the Lingbo Microstep to quickly escape.
