26: Chapter 26 Trying to out-harden my knife? You must have bought that from Pinduoduo!

"Boom!!!"

A deafening roar exploded instantly over the Yin and Yang Road crematorium.

It was as if a meteorite had struck the ground; terrifying waves of Qi spread crazily from the point of impact.

The withered grass, half a man's height, was uprooted instantly, and the tombstones of countless lonely graves shattered in the shockwave.

"Cough, cough..."

Zhou Mingyue was flipped onto the ground by the shockwave, getting a mouthful of dirt.

She couldn't care about the pain, hurriedly scrambling up, grabbing her phone that had fallen on the ground, and looking nervously toward the center of the dust.

"Is... is the big shot okay?"

The hundreds of thousands of viewers in the livestream room also held their breath, and the barrage of comments came to a brief standstill.

After all, that was an Ox-Head Ghost General, three meters tall and covered in flames!

And Su Yang was just a human of flesh and blood.

This massive disparity in size made one instinctively feel despair.

However.

When the dust settled and everyone saw the scene in the field, their jaws all dropped!

On the devastated ground, Su Yang still maintained his punching posture, standing tall like a pine tree, his body wreathed in golden light, not even a corner of his clothes damaged.

And opposite him, that arrogant Ox-Head Ghost General was currently gripping its massive bone-chopping blade with both hands, the blade pressed hard against Su Yang's fist.

But...

That bone-chopping blade, which looked like it weighed a thousand catties and emitted a cold, eerie light, had actually been bent by raw force!

The blade showed an astonishing curve, as if it could snap at any moment!

"This... this is impossible!"

In the Ox-Head Ghost General's huge bovine eyes, there was nothing but unbelievable terror.

Its blade was an Yin weapon forged from the spines of ninety-nine evil ghosts!

It could cut through iron like mud and slice through rock like tofu.

Yet now, it had been caught barehanded by a human?

Moreover, the recoil from the blade made its ghost arm tremble violently.

The web between its thumb and forefinger had split open, and black ghost blood dripped down the hilt.

"Is that all you've got?"

Su Yang slowly raised his head; under the reflection of the brilliant golden light, his smile appeared both sacred and annoying.

"Big guy, didn't you eat? This little bit of strength isn't even enough to scratch an itch."

"Also..."

Su Yang glanced at the bent bone-chopping blade and shook his head in disdain.

"The quality of your blade is terrible; you didn't buy it on Pinduoduo for nine-ninety-nine with free shipping, did you?"

"Roar—! You go too far in bullying a ghost!!!"

The Ox-Head Ghost General completely lost control.

As a hegemon of the Yin and Yang Road, when had it ever suffered such humiliation?

"I'm going to mince you into meat paste!!!"

It roared, and the green ghost fire on its body surged violently, instantly turning into a monstrous sea of fire.

"Hell fire! Burn everything!"

Whoosh—!

The terrifying green flames spread along the blade, instantly swallowing Su Yang whole!

This was no ordinary fire; it was Yin fire from Hell, capable of directly burning a person's Soul.

If an ordinary Daoist got even a tiny bit on them, they would instantly face Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

"Ah! Big shot!"

Zhou Mingyue screamed in fear.

The livestream room was also filled with wails:

[It's over, it's over! This is Spell damage!]

[No matter how high your physical defense is, you're still afraid of being burned!]

[This fire looks evil; I feel cold even through the screen!]

However.

Just when everyone thought Su Yang was going to become a roast pig.

From the raging green sea of fire, a lazy voice suddenly came out.

"Hmm... this is a bit interesting."

"The temperature is just right, quite warm; it's perfect for driving away the cold."

Inside the sea of fire, the golden light on Su Yang's body suddenly changed, turning into golden Dragon-shaped patterns that roamed across the surface of his skin.

Nine Revolutions Pure Yang Body fully activated!

Those originally ferocious green ghost fires, upon encountering this golden light, were like mice meeting a cat; they were actually forced back three feet!

Su Yang stood in the center of the sea of fire as if strolling in his own backyard, even reaching out to grab a ball of ghost fire and kneading it in his hand.

"Is this Hell fire? It's a bit weak; have you been indulging too much, and now your firepower is insufficient?"

Su Yang casually crushed the ball of ghost fire, his eyes filled with mockery as he looked at the Ox-Head Ghost General.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

The Ox-Head Ghost General had already begun to doubt its ghost life.

Can't cut him with a blade, can't burn him to death?

Is this guy still human?

He's even more like a monster than this Ghost General!

"I don't believe it! I am an immortal Ghost General! This Yin and Yang Road is my Domain!"

The Ox-Head Ghost General roared like a madman.

It suddenly opened its bloody maw and inhaled fiercely toward the giant chimney behind it that was emitting black smoke.

"Little ones! Offer your power to me!"

Woo-woo-woo—!

Following its action, the countless vengeful spirits wailing in the chimney suddenly let out even more shrill screams.

Immediately after, thousands of streams of black ghost Qi surged out of the chimney like a flood, crazily pouring into the Ox-Head Ghost General's body.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

Having absorbed these vengeful spirits, the Ox-Head Ghost General's body began to expand violently.

Its original three-meter-tall body instantly shot up to five meters!

The muscles all over its body bulged like rocks, and the original green ghost fire turned into a deep dark purple.

The bone-chopping blade in its hand grew twice as large, emitting a suffocating Aura of blood and killing intent.

Its Aura was more than twice as strong as before!

"Hehe, hehe..."

The Ox-Head Ghost General looked down at Su Yang from above, its bovine eyes filled with cruelty and arrogance.

"Human, you are indeed strong."

"But in this Yin and Yang Road, I am the Dominator!"

"With me now, even if a true Celestial Master came, they would have to kneel!"

"Die!"

Boom!

It raised the huge bone-chopping blade with both hands and, with an Aura that could destroy the world, slashed down hard at Su Yang!

This slash tore even the air, emitting a piercing sonic boom.

"Now that's more like it."

Facing this terrifying strike, Su Yang nodded with satisfaction.

"Knowing how to call for help and add buffs, it seems your IQ hasn't completely degenerated."

"However..."

Su Yang slowly raised his right hand, spreading his five fingers.

"Why do I feel like this... is my home turf?"

Zzz-zzz-zzz—!

Following his action, the originally pitch-black night sky suddenly lit up without warning.

Dark clouds rolled, and thunder rumbled.

Countless silver electric snakes darted through the clouds, converging into a terrifying sea of thunder, just covering the sky above the crematorium.

A majestic heavenly might instantly locked onto the Ox-Head Ghost General below!

"Thunder... Thunder Spell?! Heavenly Thunder?!"

The Ox-Head Ghost General, who was preparing to slash down, suddenly stiffened. Looking up at the sea of thunder above its head, an unprecedented fear arose from the depths of its Soul.

What do ghosts fear most?

Naturally, it's Heavenly Thunder!

And what Su Yang was invoking now was not ordinary Palm Thunder.

It was the — [Divine Firmament Heavenly Thunder] from the Five Thunders Orthodox Law!

"This... what level of Daoist Magic is this?!"

The Ox-Head Ghost General's hand holding the blade was trembling.

It wanted to run, but that heavenly might had already locked it down tight, and it couldn't move at all.

"Big Ox, be a good person in your next life."

"If you're not convinced, feel free to go to the Underworld and sue me."

Su Yang hooked the corner of his mouth into a cold arc, and his right hand pressed down fiercely.

"Thunder, come!!!"

Rumble, rumble, rumble!!!

A silver pillar of thunder, as thick as a water bucket, descended from the sky with the power to destroy everything!

It instantly pierced through heaven and earth, smashing fiercely onto the Ox-Head Ghost General!

"No!!!"

Before the thunder light drowned everything, only the Ox-Head Ghost General's final desperate scream could be heard.

Boom—!

The entire crematorium was illuminated like daylight.

A huge shockwave swept across the scene again.

The livestream screen instantly turned into a blur of white, then went completely black.

Signal lost!

...

After a long time.

When the dust settled again.

A pit several meters deep appeared where the Ox-Head Ghost General had been standing.

That arrogant Ghost General had completely disappeared, not even leaving ashes behind.

Only an Inner Core the size of a fist, emitting a purple light, floated quietly at the bottom of the pit, radiating an alluring energy fluctuation.

"Phew... the power of this Heavenly Thunder is indeed satisfying."

Su Yang stood at the edge of the pit, his eyes bright.

With a wave of his hand, the purple Inner Core flew into his hand.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing the Ox-Head Ghost General! Transcended three thousand vengeful spirits!"

"Mission complete!"

"Reward: One [Golden Core Breakthrough Pill]!"

"Reward: [Ghost General Inner Core (Top Quality)]!"

Listening to the System's prompt, Su Yang's mouth grinned from ear to ear.

A bountiful harvest!

With this Inner Core and the Breakthrough Pill, tonight is the time for him to step onto the path of the Golden Core!

"Bi... big shot..."

At this moment, Zhou Mingyue's trembling voice came from behind.

She crawled out of the bushes, covered in dirt, her hair messy, and her originally pretty JK skirt torn with several holes, looking extremely disheveled.

But the look in her eyes as she gazed at Su Yang was fanatical, as if she were looking at a god.

"Is... is that monster... dead?"

"Dead."

Su Yang put away the Inner Core, turned around, looked at this disheveled little streamer, and suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, the signal was cut off just now; that last part wasn't broadcast, right?"

"No... it wasn't..." Zhou Mingyue shook her head, "The phone screen went black just now."

"That's good."

Su Yang breathed a sigh of relief, "One must be low-key; being too high-profile makes it easy to be sliced up for research."

After speaking, he walked up to Zhou Mingyue, looked at her small face, which was pale from fright, and the bloodstains on her thighs scratched by grass leaves, and sighed.

"You're a young girl, why not stay home, livestream dancing, and insist on coming to a place like this to suffer."

"Let's go, I'll take you home."

Su Yang squatted down, "Get on, I'll carry you."

"Ah? Carry... carry me?"

Zhou Mingyue blushed, her heartbeat accelerating instantly.

"Not willing? Then you can walk back yourself; there are still quite a few lonely ghosts nearby..."

"I... I'll get on!"

Hearing there were ghosts, Zhou Mingyue shivered in fear and hurriedly threw herself onto Su Yang's back, tightly wrapping her arms around his neck.

Feeling the astonishing softness of those two mounds on his back, Su Yang hooked his mouth into a wicked smile.

"Sit tight, the old driver is about to start the car."

...

This night was destined to be a sleepless one.

The sky-high flames and thunder from the Yin and Yang Road crematorium shocked the entire Jiangzhou City.

And Su Yang had long since disappeared into the night with the beautiful streamer on his back.

Of course, before going home, shouldn't he find a place to help this frightened little streamer calm her nerves?

After all, the [Indestructible Kidney] needs constant maintenance.
