First, I'll Deal With You

"Which son of a bitch! Such a sneaky bastard!"

Zhang You got up from the ground, looking quite disheveled, and cursed loudly.

The moment he was blasted away, the tall flame spirit body unleashed another blast of fire at him.

He had no time to react. The instant he was hit by the flames, his mind was shaken, and he spat out several more mouthfuls of blood!

The newcomer was wearing tattered black clothing. Upon closer inspection, one could discern some blue wavy patterns.

Describing him as skin and bones would not be an exaggeration.

The exposed skin was dark purple, extremely dry, with clearly visible wrinkles.

Beneath the skin, the veins and bones were also vaguely discernible.

As he raised his head, his face was finally revealed.

It was terrifyingly hideous!

Only one side of his face had skin; the other half had already rotted away, exposing the skull.

His eyes were blood-red and deep, without a trace of emotion.

"Someone from the Demon Suppression Division!"

The Old Daoist had already arrived beside Zhang You, recognizing the other's profession.

At this moment, the surrounding flame spirit bodies had also surrounded the area and ceased their attack.

The tall flame spirit body had also reformed completely, appearing undamaged.

Zhang You took the opportunity to calm his soul, but his face was pale and still somewhat weak, clearly suffering from internal injuries.

"Are you alright?"

The Old Daoist felt a bit guilty.

His ability to get out of this situation now depended on Zhang You!

"I won't die!"

Zhang You looked at the situation before him, slowly calculating in his mind.

"Who are you?"

Zhang You asked the person from the Demon Suppression Division.

"Wagaga! The one who's going to take your lives!"

The person clearly had no intention of elaborating, letting out a sharp, disdainful sound.

"You must be Bai Huang!"

The Old Daoist's eyes darted, and he immediately recalled someone.

"Oh? Someone actually remembers me!"

The person looked at the Old Daoist with some surprise.

"He's that Demon Suppression Guard from the Foundation Establishment Realm who was previously sent to Xiaolin City and entered the Ghost Domain! But how is that possible? Although he was at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment, he was nowhere near reaching the stage of abstaining from grains. How many years have passed, and he's still alive!"

The Old Daoist said with a grave expression.

"Look at him now, does he even look human anymore?"

Zhang You was quite blunt.

"However, judging by the aura he has now, he's at most at the second level of Foundation Establishment! Strange!"

The Old Daoist was puzzled again.

"Your observation skills are indeed good. Even with only the strength of the second level of Foundation Establishment, killing the two of you is more than enough!"

Bai Huang sneered.

"You're welcome to try!"

Although the opponent's aura was indeed stronger than the Two-headed Corpse and the Evil Buddha statue from before, Zhang You didn't feel much pressure now. He felt he could go head-to-head with him.

"I've been observing you for a long time. If I'm not mistaken, you should be practicing the Martial Dao!"

"Let me guess further. Although Heaven has abandoned the Martial Dao, you have still managed to achieve mastery. Without a doubt, you must possess some kind of special physique!"

"Only something like a special physique can achieve the impossible!"

"You don't need to deny it!"

"Wagaga, heaven is truly helping me! I've just mastered a method to transfer special physiques. Once I capture you, I can become the world's first pioneer of dual cultivation—immortal and martial! Who can stop me then! Who dares to stop me!"

"I've stayed in the Ghost Domain for so many years, becoming neither human nor ghost, and even my realm has regressed significantly. All this was just to obtain that damned Netherworld Ghostfire Origin Fire! I've failed repeatedly before, but now that I've mastered the Martial Dao, I can easily take it into my possession!"

"Wagaga..."

Bai Huang seemed to have not seen any living people for many years, harboring a deep resentment. Now that he encountered Zhang You and the other, he spoke to himself, laughing maniacally afterward. He had already considered Zhang You and the other as dead men, showing extreme arrogance!

"You want to eat me too?"

Although he was surprised to hear about the origin fire, the opponent's purpose afterwards made Zhang You's expression turn cold!

Are people in this world just sick in the head? Why do they always want to eat me?

"Wagaga! I can do that! After I steal your special constitution, I'll reluctantly roast and eat both of you, saving you from becoming evil spirits like the Two-headed Corpse. I guess this is my way of repaying you, doing a good deed and giving you both a decent death!"

"..."

What a decent death!

"Damn it, this old geezer is so shameless!"

The Old Daoist's face twitched, and he cursed loudly!

At this moment, the surrounding flame spirits, under command, once again attacked.

"You stay back and try to protect yourself!"

Zhang You instructed, then fixed his gaze on Bai Huang and the tall flame spirit.

The Old Daoist had previously mentioned he had a realm-breaking talisman that could briefly tear open the Ghost Domain, allowing them to return to the living world.

However, they needed to find a weak spot in the spatial fabric to greatly increase the chances of success.

Therefore, the Old Daoist was indispensable!

"Then you be careful. Cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm have greatly increased mana, which has undergone a qualitative change and is called true essence. It's far beyond the spiritual energy of the Qi Refining Realm! Furthermore, their physical bodies are already semi-spiritual, making them even more troublesome!"

The Old Daoist added.

For them to get out, they needed to help each other!

After speaking, he retreated and began to fend off the surging flame spirits.

Actual combat was indeed very useful for improving one's realm.

After continuous battles during this period, the Old Daoist felt as if he was on the verge of breaking through to the Half-step Foundation Establishment realm!

His spirit was exceptionally invigorated at this moment!

Zhang You felt the Old Daoist's change and was somewhat relieved.

"Come on! Let me see the strength of the Foundation Establishment Realm!"

Zhang You charged at Bai Huang, swinging both fists.

The tall flame spirit also moved, condensing two long flame spears and shooting them towards them.

Bai Huang also let out a laugh, and a spiritual sword appeared in his hand, its quality seemingly higher than the spirit swords the Old Daoist produced in batches.

"Soaring Wind Swordplay: Chasing Wind!"

He performed a sword flourish towards Zhang You, and a sword energy, swift as lightning, appeared before Zhang You in an instant.

"Mystic Art: Water Control Technique: Droplets Form Soldiers!"

Bai Huang extended his left hand towards the tall flame spirit, and the water vapor in front of him condensed into a sword shadow, instantly rushing out and colliding with the flame spears.

"Break!"

Zhang You formed his right hand into a claw and directly crushed the sweeping sword energy!

Then, he kicked out, scattering the flame spears as well.

"Blood Qi Slash!"

Since his ninth Great Body Tempering, he could already detach his blood qi from his body!

Two crimson beams shot out.

The tall flame spirit was blown apart again, but another flame shot over.

"Four Symbols: White Tiger: Thunderclap!"

Zhang You directly used a sonic blast to neutralize it.

"Soaring Wind Swordplay: Windfall!"

Bai Huang responded to Zhang You's slashes with ease. With a swing of his spiritual sword, an invisible defense formed before him, skillfully deflecting the attack.

"Four Symbols: White Tiger: Shatter Void Great Hand Seal!"

Zhang You used his agility to instantly appear above Bai Huang and slammed a massive red palm down!

"I'll deal with you first!"

Then Zhang You turned back and charged towards the tall flame spirit that had just reformed.

Ripples appeared on his palm, and he pressed down towards its head!
