Ghost Wall?

"Ghost Wall? Could Chen Wang have come?"

Bai Yao's thoughts had gone somewhat rigid. The question suddenly occurred to her, and joy rose in her heart. Chen Wang had the key to this place; he really could have come. She had not seen Chen Wang for a long time. Then, Bai Yao's face suddenly turned pale.

"No! It can't be Chen Wang. There was no sound of the door opening just now."

Bai Yao's expression changed drastically, and her vision began to darken. Yet she stubbornly raised the cold Revolver in her hand and aimed it at the bedroom door.

Suddenly,

The faint footsteps grew clearer and clearer. All color drained from Bai Yao's fair face. "The footsteps are in the bedroom!"

Bai Yao's hand trembled, and she backed away. Sitting on the bed, she looked helplessly around her.

The apartment lights were dim, yet she had not heard the bedroom door open. The footsteps, however, were gradually drawing closer to her! "Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap."

The faint footsteps were like notes tolling her doom.

Bai Yao wanted to scream in terror, only to discover that she could not make a sound.

Not only that, the Revolver she had raised had somehow drooped down. Worse still, Bai Yao discovered in horror that she could no longer move. Her entire body seemed to have been bound by some strange and terrifying force! "Tap, tap, tap, tap."

The footsteps gradually approached and arrived at the bedside.

"He's here! He's right by the bed!"

Bai Yao felt as though her breathing was about to stop.

The footsteps stopped at the bedside, but Bai Yao still could not move. Her mouth hung open like a drowning fish. She wanted to scream, but could not utter a single word. Her body could not react at all, rigid beyond measure!

Yet she knew that she would likely end up just like those missing young girls. Suddenly!

An intensely icy feeling drew close to Bai Yao. Goosebumps instantly rose across her skin, and terror filled her heart.

She could not move at all! Bang! The bedroom door was suddenly kicked open, and a tall, Handsome Youth rushed in! When Bai Yao saw who he was, the tension in her heart eased, and she became excited.

The moment Chen Wang entered Bai Yao's apartment, he sensed that something was wrong. As an immortal cultivator, he was instinctively extremely sensitive to yin energy and evil energy.

He had not rashly charged in to save her. Instead, his first instinct had been to retreat and observe the situation. But unexpectedly, the door had been locked by some kind of force!

It was a situation similar to a Ghost Wall.

Sometimes, when one encountered a Ghost Wall, one could keep running down the stairs, yet no matter how far one ran, one would still remain on the same floor.

But Chen Wang keenly noticed that this force seemed somewhat different from the Ghost Walls he knew. An ordinary Gene Warrior would have had no good way to deal with it, but Chen Wang was a genuine immortal cultivator, a mighty Qi Refining Stage 3 cultivator.

He immediately formed a hand seal, held his fingers together like a sword, and brushed them across his eyes. A flash of Spiritual Light seemed to flicker in his pupils. Spirit Eye Technique! It could see through wronged souls and yin spirits.

After casting the Spirit Eye Technique, Chen Wang lowered his head and looked into the apartment. Suddenly, he discovered rows of pitch-black footprints. These footprints were traces left by yin energy, leading straight into the bedroom.

Chen Wang swiftly reached a conclusion. This was not aimed at him. Bai Yao had likely provoked some strange entity, because the footprints had been heading directly into the bedroom rather than circling around him.

"In other words, I accidentally stumbled into a supernatural scene."

Chen Wang not only had powerful firearms on him, but also Talisman Paper from the world of immortal cultivation. In particular, that intermediate-grade beginner Golden Bell Talisman gave him tremendous confidence. Thus, he kicked open the door and charged in to kill! He merely followed the way of the Cautious Saint; it did not mean he was cowardly. On the contrary, when danger left him no choice, his mind was even firmer and calmer than that of ordinary cultivators.

The change brought about by becoming a Tier 2 Gene Warrior was his formidable physical constitution. The muscles throughout his body contained powerful explosive force. With that kick, he instantly blasted open the bedroom door.

That strange force had sealed Bai Yao herself and did not exert much restraint over the bedroom door.

Once the door was kicked open, he saw Bai Yao curled up on the bed, terror written across her face. Through the Spirit Eye Technique, he also saw a thin middle-aged man.

Ordinary people could not see this middle-aged man unless they were immortal cultivators proficient in spells like Chen Wang.

Chen Wang's appearance drew the middle-aged man's attention. The man stiffly turned his head and stared at Chen Wang with a sinister aura.

Chen Wang noticed that his eyes were bloodshot, carrying a crazed and obsessive look.

Chen Wang formed a hand seal, and an Evil Breaking Spell blasted toward him.

The Evil Breaking Spell contained pure yang energy. Waves of heat immediately rose from the man's body.

"Aaaahhh!"

The thin middle-aged man screamed incessantly.

Chen Wang did not hesitate. He launched another Evil Breaking Spell, forming hand seals as he activated the mana within his body.

An Evil Breaking Spell struck the man directly in the face. Like hot oil splashed onto icy snowmelt, the man's features swiftly twisted, and his form immediately materialized.

Bai Yao instantly felt that terrifying restraint around her body vanish.

After Chen Wang appeared, the temperature in the room even seemed to rise slightly.

Bai Yao looked at Chen Wang in surprise, then turned to the middle-aged man lying on the floor.

"A Tier 2 Soldier, Ghost!"

She cried out, suddenly recalling this special soldier type.

The Tier 2 Soldier Ghost was a special Genetic Ability that allowed one to transform into a Ghost, making it the ideal reconnaissance soldier type.

This Gene Serum circulated only within the Church and rarely made its way outside.

More importantly, after a major purge, it was said that the method for producing this Gene Serum had disappeared. This special soldier type had long vanished from people's sight, which was why Bai Yao had not recognized it at once.

The middle-aged man glared venomously at Chen Wang. Though he did not understand why Chen Wang had broken his ability to transform into a Ghost, he was a Tier 2 Soldier. Rage surging through him, he pulled out a dagger and charged at Chen Wang! Chen Wang reacted extremely quickly. Neither the Tier 2 Soldier Eagle Eye nor Ghost was a powerful close-combat soldier type.

Ghost's physical abilities were slightly weaker than Eagle Eye's, after all, since it was an auxiliary soldier type.

Its greater strength lay in its special ability to transform into a Ghost and ignore terrain.

Chen Wang made a snap decision. Seeing the middle-aged man materialize and rush at him, he immediately lashed out with a whip kick. The kick was swift and vicious, striking the man in the neck.

With a crack, the man's neck seemed to shift out of place.

Chen Wang casually grabbed a nearby stool and smashed it heavily into the back of the man's head! Bang! The stool shattered in his hands. It had been made from an extremely hard kind of wood, yet Chen Wang still smashed it to pieces.
