33: Chapter 33 The Emperor's Aura Unleashed!

"Everyone come over and stand together!"

Su Tang shouted loudly.

The ghost energy of the twenty-four Resentful Spirits surged into the sky, converging into a visible black pillar of qi that pierced straight through to the third floor of Zuixian Pavilion at the end of the long street!

The pillar of qi exploded on the roof, pressing the previously bright sky overhead into a leaden gray.

Lu Wanqing instinctively released her mental detection, and an invisible ripple swept across the entire long street.

Then she abruptly withdrew her mental power as if she had been electrocuted, her legs went soft, and she sat directly on the ground.

"T-Twenty-four, all above Resentful Spirit grade, with six at the late-stage peak..."

Her lips turned pale, "The specification of this ghost domain is at least Grade 3, no, it might be close to Grade 4. The intelligence of the Demon Suppression Division is completely wrong; this is not something we can handle."

"Grade 3?"

Jiang Xiaohong broke out in a cold sweat.

A Grade 3 ghost domain was a place that required a well-equipped, organized three-star challenger team cooperating with the tactical equipment of the Demon Suppression Division to dare enter!

What were they?

A group of newcomers who had just completed their first test trial, not even counting as real challengers yet.

This wasn't an evaluation; it was a death sentence!

Even if they were geniuses, geniuses still needed time to develop after all!

Shen Qinghan pulled out the Ghost Slashing Blade.

It was a good blade; cold light flowed along the edge, and the special attack patterns shone dazzlingly.

But her fingers were trembling, because the strength of the blade was telling her that the concentration of resentment energy of the ghosts before her had already exceeded the special attack limit of this blade.

The enemy was too strong!

"It's over..."

Zhou Peng's weapon dropped to the ground, his lips pale, "We're all going to die here... All of us..."

Zhao Juan hugged her head and cried, "I shouldn't have come... My mom was right, I'm just not cut out to be a challenger..."

Wang Zheng opened his mouth, wanting to say something to boost morale.

But watching the ghosts slowly closing in from all directions, he closed his mouth again.

Everyone's focus had no choice but to fall on Lin Ye.

They admitted that Lin Ye was very strong.

Smashing the little girl to pieces with a staff, solving Liu Chuang with a punch, and killing three Resentful Spirits with three bolts of lightning—they had seen all of this...

But now it was different; this wasn't a one-on-one, nor a one-on-three, it was a one-on-twenty-four!

Twenty-four Resentful Spirits, among which six were at the late-stage peak. Even if a three-star challenger came, they would have to weigh whether their life was tough enough!

"Can you still handle it?" Jiang Xiaohong whispered.

Lin Ye did not answer him.

On the third floor of Zuixian Pavilion, that carved wooden window slowly pushed open a crack.

Behind the window, a pair of scarlet vertical pupils lit up.

"It's that core female ghost!"

She did not show herself.

She merely reached out a hand from the crack of the window, snow-white and slender.

On her wrist hung a jade bracelet of exceptional quality.

That hand gently rested on the windowsill, her fingertips tapping the wooden frame bit by bit.

With every tap, the ghost energy of the twenty-four Resentful Spirits on the long street grew a fraction denser; with every tap, the chill in the air grew a fraction heavier!

"Older sister originally wanted to be a bit gentler."

The female ghost's voice drifted out from behind the window, soft and mushy, "But you wouldn't listen and insisted on going down. Well, there's no helping it. Since you want to go to the basement so badly, then get past this hurdle first. Older sister will be watching you from upstairs."

Her voice suddenly lowered, so low that only Lin Ye could hear, "Older sister has prepared twenty-four big gifts for you. If you don't accept them, older sister will be angry, oh~"

As soon as her voice fell, her fingers stopped in mid-air and she gently snapped her fingers.

Snap.

The twenty-four Resentful Spirits moved simultaneously!

They did not swarm forward to pounce on Lin Ye, but instead scattered in some eerie order, simultaneously occupying various positions high and low, near and far along the eaves, walls, and stone slab gaps on both sides of the long street, completely locking off all of Lin Ye's retreat routes.

The actor in opera costume at the very front initiated the attack first.

The bone fan abruptly unfolded and fanned forward, and the human teeth on the fan surface fell off simultaneously, turning into dozens of pale pellets that shot rapidly toward Lin Ye.

At the same time, all the talisman papers on the hunchbacked old man fell off simultaneously, spinning and burning in the air to form a gloomy green chain of fire.

The fire chain strangled toward Lin Ye like a spiritual snake, attempting to entangle him, bind him to death, and burn him to ashes!

The coffin-carrying man abruptly lifted the coffin lid.

Black water poured backward out of the coffin, and a dense layer of white fine threads floated on the water surface.

The black water overflowed the stone slab road, scorching a patch of burnt marks on the ground. Those fine threads wriggled on the water surface and spread toward Lin Ye's direction.

The remaining twenty-one Resentful Spirits launched attacks simultaneously from all directions at the same moment.

Elongated sharp claws, surging ghost energy, shot-out bone spikes, rolling long tongues...

Overwhelming the heavens and covering the earth!

"It's over, I don't want to die, Mom!"

Wang Zheng could no longer hold it together, and tears flowed unworthily, although the ghosts' current target was mainly Lin Ye for now.

But if Lin Ye died, could they still live?

"What are you crying for!"

Lu Wanqing kicked him, although she herself was also very panicked, "We'll back Lin Ye up and see if we can do anything..."

This was the last resort. If Lin Ye couldn't do it either...

Then they could only wait for death!

The stone slab road on the long street cracked inch by inch under the pressure of the resentment energy.

The resentment energy released at full strength by more than twenty Resentful Spirits superposed together; it wasn't just addition, but resonance, fusion, and mutual excitation, forming a suffocating crushing force of resentment energy.

This crushing zone firmly locked Lin Ye in the center.

Just enduring the aftermath already made Jiang Xiaohong and the others' knees go soft and kneel to the ground!

However, soon, everyone discovered that there was one exception.

Lin Ye!

Facing this soaring ghost energy, just standing nearby made them feel like their lives were on a countdown.

And Lin Ye was standing right in the dead center of that crushing area.

Motionless, with a calm expression!

The next moment, he finally moved.

The yellow emperors essence blood boiled abruptly in his body, stimulated to the limit!

With more than twenty Resentful Spirit ghosts attacking simultaneously, Lin Ye didn't plan to hold back any longer.

With the natural suppression of all demons and evil spirits by the yellow emperors essence blood, an invisible golden halo spread outward with him at the center, wrapping him inside.

Then, he did something nobody expected.

He put away the zhulong staff.

With empty hands, he just stood like that amidst the siege of more than twenty Resentful Spirits.

"Lin Ye, are you crazy? What are you doing?!" Wang Zheng thought he had seen wrongly and rubbed his eyes hard.

Why did he put his weapon away?

"Given up?"

Zhou Peng said in a low voice.

Holy crap, at least struggle a bit more, big brother?!

Lin Ye wasn't crazy.

He just wanted to try, to what extent could the Human Emperors Coercion suppress Resentful Spirit-grade ghosts after the yellow emperors essence blood was actively stimulated to its limit by him?

He took a slight breath, closed his eyes, and pressed that drop of essence blood from his heart toward his dantian.

The depression pressed out by the essence blood in his chest deepened by a fraction, and more dark golden light was released from the depression, surging into his limbs and bones along his meridians.

When he opened his eyes again, two dark golden lights lit up deep within his pupils!

He raised his foot and stamped gently on the ground.

This stamp was as light as stepping on an ant to death.

Yet the entire ancient city heard it!

The next moment, a scene that completely refreshed everyone's worldview happened before the eyes of Shen Qinghan and the others!

Only to see.

A golden shockwave exploded from under Lin Ye's feet, sweeping horizontally in all directions.

Where the shockwave passed, a patch of golden light rose on the stone slab road. Countless ancient characters faintly emerged in the light. Those characters were too blurry to see their strokes clearly, yet they emitted a coercion that made all demons and evil spirits instinctively terrified!

Human Emperors Coercion!

Completely erupted, the kind with no reservations!
