34: Chapter 34 One strike cleaves the heavens, all vengeful spirits are annihilated!

Then they saw...

The white projectiles fanned out by the actor collided with the shockwave, like hail falling into molten iron, dissolving into white smoke without even making a sound and vanishing into nothingness.

The talisman paper fire chain thrown by the hunchbacked old man was swept by the shockwave in mid-air, the flames were instantly suppressed and extinguished, and the talisman paper turned into drifting ashes, evaporating cleanly along with the bloodstains on it.

The black water gushing from the coffin-carrying man's coffin stopped spreading the moment it made contact with the golden shockwave, and the white filaments on the water surface twitched violently a few times.

Then the entire patch of black water rapidly shrank and dried up as if being evaporated, leaving only a charred trace.

All the ghosts pouncing toward Lin Ye...

Whether sharp claws, ghost qi, bone spurs, or long tongues, the moment they contacted the golden shockwave, their offensive was simultaneously disrupted.

Those at close range were bounced away, those at long range were blasted apart, those diving at low altitudes were slapped straight down from the sky, and those burrowing underground were chased by the shockwave and crushed into the gaps of the stone slabs.

Those early-stage Resentful Spirits directly collapsed onto the ground after being swept by the shockwave, their body's ghost qi escaping out of control like a puppet with broken strings, unable even to stand.

Those at the middle stage of Resentful Spirits could barely hold on without falling, but their movements obviously became slow and stiff, their outstretched claws pausing in mid-air, wanting to stab forward but unable to do so no matter what, as if an invisible giant hand was holding down their bodies.

Only those six peak-stage Resentful Spirits could still stand steadily in place.

Their ghost qi was so dense that it could form a protective film, barely resisting the erosion of Human Emperors Coercion, but judging from their suddenly constricted pupils and slightly retreating footsteps, this resistance cost them a considerable amount of effort.

The might of a single stomp, clearing the field!

The long street was quiet for a full three seconds.

Then Wang Zheng let out an exclamation: "Holy shit?!! What happened?? Did you see that? Those ghosts, all... all..."

Because of his excitement, he couldn't even say a complete sentence.

Lu Wanqing's mental detection automatically operated, converting everything she saw into data and pouring it into her brain.

But she suddenly suffered an unbearable impact that forced her to interrupt her mental detection, her complexion turning incomparably pale.

Shen Qinghan, Su Tang, Jiang Xiaohong, Zhou Peng, Zhao Juan and the others...

Almost all wore the same shocked faces.

That was more than twenty Resentful Spirit-level ghosts attacking simultaneously!

Not to mention a tester who hadn't even officially become regular, even a bunch of two-star or even three-star testers...

Wouldn't be able to deal with them so easily.

And Lin Ye...

"How come..."

Jiang Xiaohong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, just wanting to say something, but the next second, he couldn't say it anymore.

Because even those six peak-stage Resentful Spirits launched another attack.

They were not shaken back, but their actions were more than ten times more cautious than before.

The six ghosts looked at each other, as if reaching some kind of tacit understanding.

They attacked at the same time!

Instead of fighting independently, six strands of ghost qi intertwined and converged in the air, forming a black torrent that crashed down toward Lin Ye!

Where the torrent passed, the air was forcibly torn apart, emitting a harsh shrill sound.

They understood that fighting alone had no chance of winning, so they concentrated all their power into a single strike, preparing to shake Lin Ye head-on with their final strength.

Facing this six-in-one ghost qi torrent, Lin Ye nodded.

"This is more like it."

Human Emperors Coercion was not his primary combat power; it was more like a status, a qualification!

He backhanded and gripped the zhulong staff again.

yellow emperors essence blood vibrated again, a hint of dark gold surging from his chest, climbing up the zhulong staff along his arm.

The magma-like patterns on the staff lit up at this moment, blending and intertwining with the dark gold, outlining a few strokes of an ancient dragon-shaped contour!

zhulong seal!

The dragon shape was still very blurry, just a draft of a few strokes, without complete horns, heads, scales, and claws, but that vast and ancient sense of oppression was already ready to burst out.

At the same time, the thunder core operated at high speed within his body, emitting a buzzing sound.

Streams of scorching white electric arcs darted out from his palm, winding and intertwining around the body of the zhulong staff, like a white flood dragon coiled around the dark gold dragon bone.

The power of fire and thunder, yellow emperors essence blood, Human Emperors Coercion, and Zhulong Divine Sense—these four were injected into the zhulong staff simultaneously for the first time.

The patterns on the staff body turned from dark red to golden red, and then from golden red to dazzling scorching white, with each color conversion accompanied by a stronger energy fluctuation.

"Holy shit? This is way too exaggerated, right?"

The light reflected off the others, causing their expressions to constantly change, only feeling that this special effect...

Isn't this fucking something from a fantasy world?!!

The air around the zhulong staff body was burned and distorted by the high temperature, and several tiny spatial cracks could be vaguely seen flickering in and out around the staff body.

Lin Ye raised the zhulong staff.

When the staff rose, the green lanterns on the entire long street went out simultaneously.

Darkness descended from the sky, enveloping the ancient city.

Then... the staff fell!

A thick dark gold pillar of light erupted from the zhulong staff, shaped like a giant dragon awakened from ancient times, its dragon head held high, opening its mouth.

It swallowed toward the six-in-one ghost qi torrent ahead.

"Roar!!!"

The dragon roar shook the earth and heaven, resounding throughout the ancient city!

The ghost qi torrent collided with the golden giant dragon, like a paper wall crashing into a lava waterfall.

The scene of stalemate, sawing back and forth, and wrestling that everyone imagined did not happen.

The moment of contact, the ghost qi began to dissolve, devoured, disintegrated, and crushed inch by inch by the golden giant dragon!

The full-strength strike of the six peak-stage Resentful Spirits was as fragile as a mantis trying to stop a chariot in front of this giant dragon.

In the blink of an eye...

The golden giant dragon swallowed the last shred of ghost qi, and its dragon tail swept across, sweeping all six Resentful Spirits into the dragon's mouth!

Six peak-stage Resentful Spirit ghosts!

Taking out any one of them could become the existence of a nightmare for a city of hundreds of thousands of people...

But at this moment, they didn't even have time to let out a miserable scream!

The sound of shattered bones, cracked armor, and the sizzling sound of melting flesh mixed together, echoing in the golden giant dragon's throat for a few breaths before returning to silence.

In the sky.

Six dark gray cores fell down, casually caught by Lin Ye.

Six peak-stage Resentful Spirits.

All wiped out in a single strike!

"Three greens, two blues and one purple?"

Lin Ye was overjoyed. The quality of these ghosts was simply high, and the core levels were much higher!

At the same time, those Resentful Spirits paralyzed on the ground along the long street were also swept by the aftershock of the golden giant dragon.

A lighter golden light spread over, swallowing them all up as well.

The remaining Resentful Spirits were completely destroyed!

Another dozen or so cores fell like raindrops, pattering down on the stone slab road, some blue and some purple.

The Taotie Origin Devouring Seal also suddenly opened.

The origin resentment power dissipated after the death of the twenty-four Resentful Spirits was tyrannically devoured by the Devouring Seal, converging into a surging undercurrent that poured into Lin Ye's body.

That feeling was not the slow and steady trickle from before, but a breached flood.

The enhancement a single ghost might bring was nothing much.

But ten or twenty...

That would be different!

The origins of more than twenty Resentful Spirits exploded in his body simultaneously, and every inch of flesh and blood, every bone, and every meridian throughout his entire body was simultaneously scoured by this power.

His bone marrow became denser amidst the tremor, and the dark golden luster on the surface of his bones turned from light gold to bright gold.

His mental power surged violently like a bonfire poured with boiling oil, and his perception range instantly expanded several times!

He could hear more things.

The wind blew across the bluestone slabs, the crushed bone fragments rolled in the dust, and the landing position of every grain of dust.

He could even faintly capture that behind the window on the third floor of Zuixian Pavilion, a female ghost was shivering slightly!

"So ghosts actually know how to be afraid too?"

Lin Ye smiled. Interesting!

Meanwhile, the others reacted one after another.

Liu Zheng's brain, which had been frozen for a long time, rebooted, and then he slowly turned his head, saying to Shen Qinghan in an extremely calm tone: "Slap me across the face."

"You're sick."

Shen Qinghan did not reward him.

"I'll do it!"

Zhou Peng raised his calloused hand and slapped Liu Zheng across the face.

Slap!

Crisp and loud.

Wang Zheng covered his red and swollen face, tears welling up in his eyes, but he was very excited, "It is not a dream! We are really saved!"

"Nonsense, of course it is not a dream!"

Lu Wanqing shouted from the side, her gentle face showing the expression of a lady cursing for the first time.

Her tone carried the unshakable shock of surviving a disaster, "Twenty-four..."

"Plus the bone ghosts and female corpses in the corridor earlier... nearly thirty of them, almost all of them Resentful Spirits, and Lin Ye wiped them all out by himself!"

A moment of silence.

Especially Jiang Xiaohong.

Just now, he had prepared several times to steal a kill at a critical moment.

He had preset countless possibilities, such as him stepping in to help when Lin Ye was being besieged, him delivering the finishing blow to pick up scraps when Lin Ye had no hands free, or him standing out to harvest the remaining situation when Lin Ye was exhausted after fighting the big boss...

He had imagined a lot, but not once did he imagine Lin Ye clearing the screen with a single move!

And right at this moment, the ancient city began to collapse.

Zuixian Pavilion at the end of the long street shattered first, and the figure that had been hidden inside glanced back with unwillingness before disappearing in a flash.

The three-story pavilion was like a painting splashed with sulfuric acid, rotting, curling, and turning to ashes from the center, spreading layer by layer in all directions.

Dense cracks appeared on the bluestone slab road, spreading at an extremely fast speed to the buildings along the street, tearing those crooked wooden buildings into pieces from bottom to top.

The entire ancient city, all buildings, streets, and lanterns, turned to ashes at the same moment, like a shattered mirror.
