Chapter 187: Blood-Clad Evil Spirit
Yin Qi and blade light collided, erupting with a deafening roar, as a violent force instantly swept outwards in all directions.
The space intensely vibrated. Below, Yang Haoran and the others couldn't help but retreat; although they weren't at the epicenter of the explosion, they were still affected to some extent, their internal qi and blood surging for a moment.
The scene before their eyes made the expressions of Master Jiang and the other Night Watchers drastically change. They knew the being inside the Ghost Building was incredibly powerful, but they had no idea just how powerful she truly was.
However, judging by the current situation, they realized they had clearly underestimated the power of the one within the Ghost Building.
Under normal circumstances, Evil Spirits (evil spirits) mainly attack by setting up powerful illusions to misunderstand their goals, thereby achieving their goals. While the Yin Qi they release possesses a certain degree of offensive and defensive capability, it is quite weak and largely ineffective.
But now, the one in the Ghost Building—her released Yin Qi actually went head-to-head with Deng Feng, the Emissary of Death, in a direct clash. This is absolutely not something an Evil Spirit (evil Spirit) could accomplish.
In other words, the being in the Ghost Building has already surpassed the Evil Spirit realm in strength.
Seeing his attack blocked by the ghostly face, Deng Feng showed no surprise on his face, as if it all fell within his expectations.
He sneered coldly, Yin Qi surging around him. The Black Bone in his hand quickly swung, and several flashes of blade light tore through the air, instantly appearing before the ghostly face.
She spat out another mouthful of Yin Qi, but it only managed to block one slash. Immediately after, the second, third, and fourth slashes tore through the air one after another. She had no time to mount another defense, and the entire ghostly face was directly sliced into fragments by the blade light.
As the ghostly face dissipated into Yin Qi, Deng Feng showed no intention of stopping there. The cold sneer on his face deepened a few shades, and the Black Bone in his hand swung once more.
This time, his target was surprisingly the three-story Ghost Building before him.
The blade light, carrying an overbearing aura of destruction, struck the Ghost Building with a thunderous crash. Not only did the Ghost Building shatter into pieces, but even the ground beneath it was cleaved, forming a deep trench.
Dust and smoke permeated the air. A large number of Wangling escaped from the shattered Ghost Building. However, just as they emerged from the dust and smoke, they were shattered, their Spirit Bodies dispersed by the terrifying power unleashed by the blade light, resulting in their Soul Transformation.
This scene truly startled Yang Haoran and the other Night Watchers. Their expressions drastically changed, their hearts filled with shock and disbelief.
The reason for their immense shock was not due to Deng Feng's terrifying power. Given Deng Feng's strength after opening his Heaven Soul, and with his Soul Armament in hand, it was natural that his destructive power would be astonishing; there was nothing strange about that.
What truly shocked them was that with Deng Feng's single slash, even ordinary Wangling were implicated, all suffering Soul Transformation, not a single one surviving.
One must understand that they were Underworld Officials. Their primary duty was to guide and subdue spirits. If it was a spirit stronger than a Wangling, and it resisted or refused to accept punishment, then killing it was fine—no big deal. After all, they were courting death.
But ordinary Wangling were different. Even Underworld Officials couldn't casually eradicate them. Doing such a thing secretly, of course, no one could intervene, but doing it openly in front of so many people present—that was truly audacious.
And Deng Feng's actions at this moment could no longer be described as merely audacious. With that single slash, hundreds of Wangling vanished into thin air, without even a chance at reincarnation. Such an act was beyond mere madness.
Most importantly, when Deng Feng did this, he did it openly in front of all the Night Watchers present, showing no intention of hiding it at all.
Why would he do this?
Was he not afraid of the consequences if this came to light?
Yang Haoran saw all this unfold, his expression couldn't help but change. Deng Feng's actions sent a chill down his spine, and he couldn't help but form a guess.
Deng Feng probably had no intention of letting the Night Watchers present leave here alive.
Though as of now, he still didn't know Deng Feng's purpose for bringing these Night Watchers here, but through Deng Feng's current actions, he felt his guess was not unfounded.
Committing such a mad act—if it were to get out, the impact on Deng Feng would be unimaginable. Yet, he not only did it in front of all the Night Watchers but also maintained a completely unconcerned expression. From this, Yang Haoran guessed Deng Feng perhaps never intended for the Night Watchers present to leave alive, which is why he acted with such brazen disregard.
Not all Night Watchers realized this at the moment; some were still deep in shock, and wouldn't connect Deng Feng's actions to their own lives.
However, not all other Night Watchers lacked keen perception. Some still harbored the same thoughts as Yang Haoran, feeling that something was amiss.
Master Jiang was one of them. Recalling the text message Yang Haoran had secretly sent him earlier, he also realized the gravity of the situation.
However, at this very moment, the pervasive dust and smoke suddenly began to churn, and a figure faintly appeared within it.
With a mere wave of her hand, the Yin wind instantly intensified, sweeping away the dust and smoke, and her true appearance was fully revealed.
It was a young girl, who appeared slightly younger than Deng Feng. Her facial features were incredibly delicate, but her face was contorted with ferocity, making her resemble an unaged beast of prey.
If one observed closely, one would notice her body wasn't corporeal, but a Spirit Body, typical of a ghost. However, compared to ordinary ghosts, her Spirit Body was remarkably solid, appearing almost like a living person's flesh.
Let alone ordinary ghosts, even powerful Evil Spirits (evil Spirits) couldn't have spirit bodies as solid as this girl's. Du Da's Guardian Yin Spirit, the Slit-Mouthed Woman, was considered a considerably powerful existence among Evil Spirits (evil Spirits), yet her spirit Body, compared to the girl before them, the difference was anything but ordinary.
The young girl was clad in a Blood-Clad garment. This Blood-Clad garment looked as if it had just been soaked in fresh blood, with blood continuously dripping from it. As she walked step by step towards Deng Feng's direction, she left a trail of bloody footprints on the ground.
However, this blood was not true blood. Shortly after it fell to the ground, it would transform into Yin Qi and vanish completely.
Though the girl's face was ferocious, appearing savage, deranged, and bloodthirsty, she wasn't missing ears or a nose like other ghosts. Her facial features were normal, and her limbs were intact.
Logically speaking, such a young girl, even if she looked savage and radiated a morbid insanity, it shouldn't be enough to scare Master Jiang and the other Night Watchers.
However, the reality was quite the opposite. After clearly seeing the girl's appearance, the expressions of Master Jiang and the other Night Watchers all drastically changed, some even revealing fear in their eyes.
All their gazes were fixed on the girl's eyes.
These were a pair of blood-red eyes, set in her eye sockets like two rubies. For Night Watchers who dealt with ghosts daily, what these blood-red eyes signified—they understood perfectly well.
Evil Spirits' eyes appeared milky white. No matter how powerful an Evil Spirit (evil Spirit), this wouldn't change. Only when their power surpassed the Evil Spirit (evil Spirit) realm would an Evil Spirit's eyes transform from milky white to blood-red.
Once an Evil Spirit (evil spirit)'s eyes turned from milky white to blood-red, it indicated that it was no longer merely an Evil Spirit (evil spirit), but a higher-tier Evil Spirit (evil spirit).
The young girl before they exuded powerful energy fluctuations, power that was simply not something an Evil Spirit (evil Spirit) of that realm could possess. Coupled with her pair of blood-red eyes, the Night Watchers present instantly gained a new understanding of her identity.
This young girl was surprisingly an Evil Spirit (evil spirit), even more powerful than an Evil Spirit (evil spirit)!
Ordinary people liked to collectively refer to malevolent ghosts as "evil spirits," but that was just a common term. Not all malevolent Ghosts were qualified to be called Evil Spirits (evil Spirits). Only ghosts like this girl, with blood-red eyes and overwhelming resistance, could be truly designed as Evil Spirits (Evil Spirits).
In addition to possessing all the abilities of an Evil Spirit (evil Spirit), Evil Spirits (Evil Spirit) also possessed the ability to manipulate physical objects—a capability that Evil Spirits (evil Spirits) lacked.
Further, the Yin Qi they released is not only possessed strong destructive power but also formidable defensive capabilities, which Evil Spirits (evil Spirits) simply couldn't compare to.
In front of a true Evil Spirit (evil spirit), even the most powerful Evil Spirit (evil Spirit) was nothing more than an ant.
