As soon as Qin Feng finished speaking, the bus tattoo on his lower abdomen instantly bloomed with an eerie blood-red glow.
"Rumble—"
A thunderous boom rolled through the night sky.
A massive fifteen-meter-long bus appeared out of thin air above the abandoned industrial district. Its body was black as ink, ghostly green flames glowed through its windows, and the entire vehicle radiated a suffocating aura of death.
On the LED display above the windshield, several blood-red words stood out sharply against the night: "Terminal: Place of Rest."
"Now, let me show you what professional means." Qin Feng shoved open the Maserati's door, and his figure vanished like a ghost.
The next second, he was already in the driver's seat of the Ghost Bus, both hands firmly gripping the wheel.
The Item Affinity talent activated instantly!
The sensation of becoming one with the vehicle was more than a hundred times stronger than when he had driven the sports car.
The entire Ghost Bus seemed to become an extension of his body. He knew the condition of every component perfectly, and every trace of spiritual power was under his control.
"Beep beep—"
The Ghost Bus let out two deeply mocking honks as it dove from a height of ten meters, aiming straight for the Headless Knight below!
The Headless Knight hurriedly tried to dodge, but the Ghost Bus was absurdly fast.
The fifteen-meter body descended like a colossal sword, crashing down with world-shattering force!
"Boom—!"
The Ghost Bus slammed heavily into the ground, making the entire abandoned industrial district quake.
A massive crater was smashed into the asphalt, spiderweb cracks spreading in every direction. Every window in the abandoned factories within a hundred meters shattered!
The Headless Knight narrowly avoided the deadly blow, but the skeletal motorcycle was overturned by the shockwave, rolling several times before barely coming to a stop.
It had just risen to counterattack when it discovered that the terrifying Ghost Bus had already turned around and was charging toward it with unstoppable momentum!
"Now, traffic safety class begins."
Qin Feng's voice came through the bus's loudspeaker, brimming with mockery.
"Lesson one: Driving without a license. Fine of 200 to 2,000, detention of up to fifteen days."
The Ghost Bus's front armor gleamed with a cold metallic sheen.
The Headless Knight raised its scythe, intending to meet it head-on, but the disparity in their size was simply too great.
"Clang—!"
The scythe struck the bus's armor, producing only a shower of sparks without even leaving a mark.
Instead, the tremendous recoil numbed the Headless Knight's grip, nearly making it lose hold of its weapon.
Then, the Ghost Bus's front bumper smashed viciously into the skeletal motorcycle.
"Crack crack—"
The skeletal motorcycle let out brittle groans under the strain. Its body split apart in several places, and the human bones decorating it fell away one after another, hitting the ground and shattering into white powder.
The Headless Knight was sent flying more than ten meters before crashing heavily into a pile of scrap metal. Even the ghostfire at its severed neck dimmed somewhat.
"Roar!!!"
Thoroughly enraged, the Headless Knight let out a piercing roar. It abandoned its shattered motorcycle as the ghostfire at its severed neck surged into the sky, transforming into a blazing pillar of black flame!
The black flames wrapped around the scythe in its hand. Countless tiny screaming faces emerged along the blade, radiating a venomous resentment capable of tearing souls apart.
"Now that's more like it." Rather than fearing it, Qin Feng grinned, though his eyes had never been more solemn.
In this state, the Headless Knight's speed and strength had not increased dramatically, but its aura had become strange and deadly.
It no longer defended passively. Instead, it launched the charge itself!
Stepping on black flames, it shot toward the Ghost Bus like an arrow loosed from a bowstring. The burning scythe in its hand carved a pitch-black arc through the air as it cleaved toward the driver's cabin!
"Good!"
Qin Feng yanked the steering wheel, sending the Ghost Bus into a savage drifting fishtail as he tried to use the thickest part of its rear side to block the attack.
"Scrreeech—!"
A piercing sound of tearing metal rang out!
The previously indestructible body armor was sliced open by the burning scythe like hot butter beneath a knife, leaving a vicious three-meter-long gash!
Black flames spread along the wound. Even the traffic regulations inscribed on the bus's body began to flicker erratically upon contact with the black fire, their glow dimming noticeably!
"Damn it!"
Qin Feng's expression changed. "This thing contains corrosive power!"
What was even more troublesome was that a chaotic energy flowed along the bus's body into the driver's cabin. The interior lights flashed madly, while an eerie resistance came through the steering wheel, trying to interfere with his control!
"Lesson two: Hit-and-run is a serious crime!"
While using trash talk to draw the enemy's attention, Qin Feng floored the accelerator and controlled the damaged Ghost Bus as it sped in circles around the abandoned factory district, tangling with the Headless Knight.
The Headless Knight swung its scythe and pursued madly. Blasts of blade wind carrying an "armor-piercing" effect slashed across the ground and abandoned buildings, leaving deep black trenches in their wake with terrifying power.
"Just running won't work!"
Qin Feng took a deep breath, a trace of resolve flashing through his eyes.
"If you want to be a road killer, you have to be crazier than your opponent!"
After barely dodging another slash, Qin Feng did not pull away. Instead, he slammed on the brakes and cranked the steering wheel in the opposite direction!
"Screeeech—!!!"
Under Qin Feng's extreme control, the fifteen-meter Ghost Bus performed an unimaginable pendulum drift!
The massive vehicle spun one hundred and eighty degrees at high speed, its front facing the pursuing Headless Knight!
This sudden change even caught the Headless Knight off guard.
"Lesson three: Maintain a safe following distance!"
With a savage grin, Qin Feng pressed an inconspicuous button on the center console: the high beams!
Two ghostly green headlights instantly erupted with light comparable to the sun's, but what they projected was not light—it was the purest Order Force!
This power was harmless to ordinary people, but to a chaotic aggregate like the Headless Knight, it was no different from the most terrifying mental assault!
"Ahhh—!"
The black flames at the Headless Knight's severed neck churned violently beneath the intense glare, letting out a silent shriek of agony.
Its movements stiffened for an instant!
When experts clashed, victory and defeat were decided in a single moment!
"Now!"
Qin Feng seized the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and floored the accelerator!
But his target was not the Headless Knight's body, but the burning scythe in its hand!
"Final lesson: Contraband will be confiscated!"
Empowered by the Order Force, the Ghost Bus's front bumper turned into a hammer of judgment and struck the scythe's handle with absolute precision!
"Clang—crack!"
With a crisp snapping sound, the weapon that had gathered endless resentment was forcibly broken by the Ghost Bus!
The Headless Knight lost its weapon, and the impact of the Order Force greatly weakened it. The pillar of fire at its severed neck instantly shrank by half.
"It's time for judgment."
Qin Feng's voice was ice-cold.
He yanked up the handbrake. Driven by inertia, the rear of the Ghost Bus swung high into the air, and its massive body crashed down upon the defenseless Headless Knight with the force of Mount Tai bearing down!
"Those who violate traffic laws—"
"Death penalty!"
"Rumble—!!!"
When the dust settled, all that remained on the ground was a deep bus-shaped imprint and a wisp of black ghostfire on the verge of extinguishing.
[You have killed the C-Class Anomalous Event 'Headless Knight.' Order has been upheld. Calculating rewards...] [Reward obtained: 800 Cleansing Points!] [You have obtained a new Legendary Armament!] [C-Class Legendary Armament: Netherworld Iron Cavalry: Summon the Headless Knight's motorcycle as a mount.]
Qin Feng pushed open the warped door and looked at the savage gash in the bus's body and the constantly flashing warning lights. He clicked his tongue in distress. "There are countless roads, but safety comes first. Drive improperly, and repairs will make you weep!"
"Hmm... insurance should cover it... I don't think this vehicle has insurance..."
