Chapter 732: No one is getting away!
Under the gaze of several pairs of eyes, a figure appeared in the spatial rift. He didn't hesitate, stepping directly out of the spatial rift.
The newcomer was a youth, ordinary in appearance with dark skin. This person was none other than Zhang Li.
Zhang Li was not old, yet he possessed the power to tear through space. This surprised Yang Haoran. The last time he saw Zhang Li, the power fluctuations emanating from Zhang Li didn't seem particularly strong to him, certainly not enough to tear space.
Now it seemed, perhaps Zhang Li hadn't fully unleashed his power fluctuations at that time.
Or perhaps, the power fluctuations he displayed then were his true strength, and his power had simply increased for some reason afterward.
Yang Haoran wasn't clear on what exactly had happened. To him, none of this was the main point, nor was it what he cared about.
What he cared about now was how Zhang Li had suddenly appeared here.
For him to suddenly appear in such circumstances and tell everyone not to trust Zhang Changchun truly surprised him.
This youth, Zhang Li, seemed to know things they didn't.
"What are you doing here? !"
Zhang Changchun's gaze fell upon Zhang Li. His expression was grim as he spoke in a deep voice, a murderous glint even appearing in his eyes.
Zhang Li didn't respond to Zhang Changchun. Instead, his gaze swept over the people present. Seeing that Yang Haoran and the others were all injured, and not lightly so, he spoke again.
"Don't believe him. He brought you here only to use your power to deplete this ghost's strength, and then achieve his ulterior motives! "
Zhang Changchun, whose expression was already grim, now had his entire face darken upon hearing Zhang Li's words.
"You little bastard, stop spouting nonsense! "
Zhang Changchun roared, then controlled the Town Soul Tower in front of him, sending it smashing towards Zhang Li. From his appearance, he was preparing to kill Zhang Li to silence him.
Zhang Li's expression changed. Although he now possessed the ability to tear through space, his strength was still too far beneath that of an existence like Zhang Changchun. It was true that Zhang Changchun was heavily injured, but a starved camel is still bigger than a horse. Even heavily injured, Zhang Changchun was not someone he could contend with.
What's more, the magical artifact Zhang Changchun was controlling was their Zhang family's most formidable one. With Zhang Li's strength, it was utterly impossible for him to withstand that blow.
Zhang Changchun attacked without a moment's hesitation, giving Zhang Li no time to react. Coupled with the Town Soul Tower's extreme speed, before he could react, the Town Soul Tower was already smashing down on him.
He was greatly alarmed and tried to dodge, but the power released by the Town Soul Tower instantly bound his body. This made it impossible for him to dodge, leaving him to watch helplessly as the Town Soul Tower rapidly descended.
Just at this moment, a black light flashed overhead, and a Remnant Moon suddenly appeared. As the crescent wheel rapidly spun, its size immediately increased dramatically.
Boom!
Black and white forces collided, erupting in a deafening roar. The Town Soul Tower, which had been smashing towards him, was blocked by this suddenly appearing crescent wheel.
The Town Soul Tower's power was immense, but the suddenly appearing crescent wheel was equally formidable. When the two collided, they were surprisingly evenly matched.
Because this sudden Remnant Moon had blocked the Town Soul Tower for him, Zhang Li was not hit by it. However, he still sustained some injuries, affected by the powerful impact force that erupted from their collision.
Zhang Li let out a muffled groan, a trickle of blood escaping the corner of his mouth. He gently wiped away the blood. His face showed no panic or pain, instead appearing remarkably calm.
After Zhang Li appeared, Yang Haoran had already noticed the murderous intent in Zhang Changchun's eyes. Although he wasn't clear on what exactly had transpired between the two, he could tell that Zhang Changchun would definitely attack Zhang Li, so he was secretly on guard.
As expected, no sooner had Zhang Li's words fallen than Zhang Changchun tried to kill Zhang Li to silence him. Yang Haoran was quick-witted, immediately controlling Remnant Moon to block Zhang Changchun's Town Soul Tower.
Yang Haoran intervened to help Zhang Li block the Town Soul Tower for one reason: he had a rather good impression of the youth, Zhang Li. Furthermore, regarding their current undertaking, Zhang Li undoubtedly knew some secrets they were unaware of.
When Zhang Changchun saw his Town Soul Tower blocked by Yang Haoran's Soul Armament, he frowned deeply. He then looked at Yang Haoran, his gaze somewhat hostile.
Yang Haoran, at the same time, also looked at Zhang Changchun, taking in his reaction, his expression, and even the hostility in his gaze.
"Even a tiger doesn't eat its cubs, yet you would kill your own grandson. I don't know whether to admire you or despise you."
A faint smile played on Yang Haoran's face. As he spoke to Zhang Changchun, Remnant Moon's power suddenly intensified significantly, directly sending the Town Soul Tower flying.
Zhang Changchun gestured, forcefully stabilizing the Town Soul Tower in mid-air and retrieving it to his side.
Remnant Moon hummed softly as it returned to Yang Haoran's position, slowly rotating by his side.
"Emissary Yang, I'm afraid you misunderstand. He is not my grandson. He came here to cause trouble, so why can't I kill him?"
Zhang Changchun retorted in a deep voice, and the smile on Yang Haoran's face stiffened slightly.
That day, when he met the Zhang family's third son, Zhang Li's third uncle and Zhang Li's cousin had also said similar things. None of them acknowledged Zhang Li as a member of the Zhang family, even going so far as to tell him to change his surname. At the time, Yang Haoran thought perhaps the child, Zhang Li, had caused some trouble, which was why the Zhang family treated him this way. But now it seemed he had oversimplified things.
"Whether this kid is your grandson is none of my damn business, nor do I want it to be. I'll just ask you one thing: Is what this kid just said true? !"
Zhang Changqing roared at Zhang Changchun, his expression filled with fury.
"You old geezer, it seems you've gone senile. He's made it so obvious, can't you see it? For an imbecile like you, I truly worry that devouring your soul will affect my intelligence."
The ghost laughed loudly, its words brimming with mockery for Zhang Changqing.
Zhang Changqing glared fiercely at the ghost. If not for his severe injuries at present, coupled with the vast disparity in strength between him and the opponent, otherwise, he truly wished to beat this ghost until its Soul Transformation.
Knowing he was outmatched, he naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to throw his life away. Glaring fiercely at the other party was his final act of defiance.
"You're also an old man now, would you believe the words of a child? The reason I just attacked him was simply to prevent him from causing trouble here and interfering with our efforts to deal with this ghost."
Zhang Changchun offered this explanation to Zhang Changqing, but his words now seemed utterly powerless. None of the people present believed his lies anymore.
"Grandfather, stop now. If you continue like this. . ."
"Shut up! You scoundrel!"
Zhang Li hadn't even finished speaking when he was interrupted by Zhang Changchun's furious roar. At this moment, his gaze towards Zhang Li was no longer simply murderous. Because his internal emotional fluctuations were too intense, his entire face had become distorted and twisted into a grotesque mask!
"I've noted this debt, and I'll return to collect it from you later!"
Zhang Changqing spoke in a deep voice, then tore through space, preparing to leave the area with Wang Yiming.
After he left, whether Zhang Changchun lived or died held no interest for him. As for whether this ghost would seek him out for trouble in the future, he couldn't care less at the moment. At this moment, he had only one thought: to quickly leave this place. If he lingered here any longer, he feared he would lose his old life here. At that point, nothing but Soul Transformation would await him.
Ma Yuanjin's thoughts were no different from Zhang Changqing's. He also didn't want to remain here, because he didn't want to die in this place.
At this moment, his heart was filled with regret, regretting his involvement in this matter. If he had known this, he shouldn't have agreed to Zhang Changqing's proposal then, and he wouldn't have fallen into such a dangerous predicament now.
Carrying his regret and anger, Ma Yuanjin mobilized the meager power remaining in his body, barely managing to open a spatial rift, wanting to leave immediately.
Zhang Changchun watched this scene unfold, then suddenly spoke in a frigid tone.
"None of you are getting away!"
