Ghost Domain

Zhou Yunxuan's body trembled slightly under the impact of this force, but he gritted his teeth and resisted with all his might.

Meanwhile, on the eastern side of the Demon Suppressing Division, Qin Bo was still fighting the anomaly.

Suddenly, he sensed the battle in the west, the violent power sweeping across the city.

"Goodness, this feeling is just like the City Lord's fluctuations when he took action before?! Could a Furious level anomaly have appeared?"

Then he jumped onto the roof of a house and looked towards the west.

He saw yin malevolence and blood-red vital energy contending equally there.

He had already learned before that

Zhou Yunxuan, the City Lord's strength, was at the Anomaly Control Realm!

Surpassing him by three major realms, he was currently at the peak of the Body Tempering Realm.

The next step was the Blood Condensation Realm, then the Blood Burst Realm.

Only then would he reach the Anomaly Control Realm!

Qin Bo struggled incessantly in his heart, wondering if he should join in.

The Anomaly Control Realm corresponded to a Furious level anomaly, if he could slay it.

Then it might give him hundreds of years of lifespan!

In the end, Qin Bo thought it over again and again, and still jumped off the roof, continuing to guard his two alleys.

"I can't beat it, I can't beat it at all, maybe I can't even break its defense."

Qin Bo plunged back into the battle with the anomaly, the butcher knife in his hand flying up and down, each swing accompanied by a System prompt.

Although the lifespan increase gained from killing these ordinary anomalies was not much, it added up, making Qin Bo's aura more and more steady.

Soon, the two alleys he was guarding on the east side were free of anomalies.

They were all killed by him.

"They're gone?!"

"System, how much lifespan do I have?"

[Remaining Lifespan: 138 years]

"Only a few decades of lifespan added?! Not enough, not nearly enough."

"If my realm is higher in the future, the lifespan needed to deduce martial arts techniques will become more and more."

"No, I can't stay here, I need to go support other places."

Qin Bo seized the opportunity and rushed towards other alleys like lightning.

At this time, other martial artists were fighting fiercely with anomalies, shouts of killing and screams intertwined.

Qin Bo did not hesitate at all, rushing directly into the area with the densest anomalies.

The butcher knife in his hand carried a fierce wind, slashing fiercely at the anomaly.

[ding, slaying a Resentful-level anomaly, gaining one year of lifespan]
[ding, slaying a Resentful-level anomaly beast, gaining one year of lifespan]

The System prompts sounded frequently again.

Qin Bo's addition instantly relieved the pressure on the martial artists in this area.

His knife skills were fierce and ruthless, each knife accurately landing on the vital points of the anomaly, and for a time, the anomalies fell one after another.

"This brother is amazing!"

A young martial artist couldn't help but exclaim, he was already feeling a little overwhelmed, and Qin Bo's arrival reignited his fighting spirit.

"Everyone, work harder, we can't let this brother waste his efforts!"

Another martial artist shouted, and under Qin Bo's leadership, everyone's morale was greatly boosted, and they fought the anomaly more and more bravely.

But who knew that before they could even intervene.

The battle there at Qin Bo's place was already over.

"Uh... is this brother a rookie?! How come I haven't seen him before?"

"I haven't seen him either, this is too fierce!!"

"I don't know, he's a new face, could he be a rookie who hasn't participated in the assessment yet?!"

Before the few people could finish speaking.

Qin Bo had already sheathed his knife and stood upright, looking around.

Seeing that the anomalies in this area had been cleaned up, he left without the slightest hesitation, heading towards the next anomaly-dense area.

"Hey, brother, what's your name?!"

Seeing Qin Bo leave without turning his head, everyone asked who Qin Bo was!

But Qin Bo did not turn his head to answer them.

"Just kidding, if I chat for a few more sentences, I'll end up collecting fewer anomalies.

Isn't that just killing for money?!"

His figure darted through the streets, and wherever he passed, anomalies fell one after another. System prompts rang in his mind like a string of firecrackers.

However, just as Qin Bo was busy slaying anomalies everywhere, a change occurred on Zhou Yunxuan's battlefield.

The fox demon suddenly exploded.

Instantly, white mist filled the entire battlefield, enveloping the City Lord Zhou inside.

This special technique of a Furious level anomaly could form a special Ghost Domain.

Zhou Yunxuan, surrounded by the white mist, immediately felt a powerful sense of oppression rushing towards him.

The surrounding space seemed to be distorted, and the circulation of his vital energy became difficult.

"Hmph, fox demon, do you think you can trap me like this?"

Zhou Yunxuan snorted coldly, trying to find a flaw in the Ghost Domain.

He circulated all his spiritual power, and the golden long sword in his hand shimmered, as he vigilantly observed his surroundings.

Suddenly, an eerie laughter echoed from the white mist.

"City Lord Zhou, in my Ghost Domain, there's no escape for you!"

The fox demon's voice came from all directions, making it impossible to pinpoint its location.

Zhou Yunxuan was about to respond, but he found that his voice seemed to be swallowed by the white mist, unable to be transmitted.

Suddenly, the scenes within the entire Ghost Domain began to change constantly.

The scene shifted.

Zhou Yunxuan felt as if he had arrived at the entrance of the Demon Suppressing Division.

Before him, a group of young men and women were fighting anomalies.

In the next moment, Zhou Yunxuan's eyes narrowed.

He saw a familiar face.

Zhou Ruixue!

"Xiao Xue?!"

Zhou Yunxuan was shocked and rushed towards Zhou Ruixue without a second thought.

However, as he approached, he found that the surrounding scenes became even more bizarre.

The young men and women fighting the anomalies moved stiffly, like machines, and Zhou Ruixue's eyes were also empty and lifeless.

"This is... an illusion!"

Zhou Yunxuan abruptly stopped, inwardly vigilant.

He knew that this must be an illusion created by the fox demon in the Ghost Domain, attempting to disrupt his mind and trap him in a desperate situation.

"City Lord Zhou, look, your daughter is about to die. Aren't you going to save her?"

The fox demon's voice rang out again, full of enticement.

The scene suddenly changed.

The Zhou Ruixue inside couldn't resist the anomaly's attack.

She was directly approached by the anomaly.

"Dad, save me!"

"Dad, I don't want to die, please save me!"

In the illusion, Zhou Ruixue was bitten by the anomaly, and a group of anomalies pounced on her, devouring her body.

Zhou Yunxuan's body trembled slightly, but he remained steadfast, unmoved.

"Useless, City Lord Zhou. The illusions in this Ghost Domain can evoke the deepest fears and attachments in your heart. You can't escape!"

The fox demon laughed maniacally.

Zhou Yunxuan took a deep breath. He thought of the people of Yunzhou City, and he thought of his responsibility as the City Lord.

"For Yunzhou City, I must not fall here!"

He opened his eyes, a trace of determination flashing within them.

Zhou Yunxuan concentrated all his vital energy on his eyes, trying to see through the illusion and find a flaw in the Ghost Domain.

With the blessing of vital energy, cracks began to appear in the illusion before him.

Through the cracks, he seemed to see a trace of reality.

"Found it!"
