Purge

Wang Wenjing moved quickly. In less than a minute, she had brought three teammates into the living room.

After entrusting the family of three on the sofa to them, Lu Siye leaped out the window and chased after the glowing orb.

The closer he got to the orb, the fewer buildings there were around him.

It was clear that the man and the ghost were deliberately fleeing toward the outskirts, thinking they could shake Lu Siye off.

Unfortunately for them, Lu Siye had no intention of letting Black Abyss go. He couldn't allow an enemy who might threaten his life to hide in the shadows.

Wiping out an enemy completely was the greatest respect he could show them.

A few minutes later, the buildings vanished altogether, and Lu Siye reached a forest.

Using Lingbo Microstep, he bounded from one slender branch to another without slowing down.

Though Lu Siye had only mastered the basics of Lingbo Microstep, even its most elementary level allowed one to cross sheer cliffs as if walking on level ground.

A few minutes later, Lu Siye finally caught up with the man and the ghost in a clearing in the forest.

"How far do you think you can run?" Lu Siye let out a long, piercing cry.

He hurled the Blazing Blood Blade, infused with his vital energy and blood, from his hand. It streaked forward like a red flash and landed in front of them.

The tremendous force sent countless broken branches and fallen leaves flying, forcing the man and the ghost to stop.

Fuck, how did he catch up so fast?! Fear Points +597!

It's over, it's over. I'm probably going to die here today. Fear Points +99!

"You're from the Town Demon Suppression Division. Leave some room for others, and you'll meet again someday. Don't push us too far!"

Black Abyss hurriedly turned to face Lu Siye. He didn't dare turn his back on an enemy—especially one who could fight opponents above his level.

The Ghost Head Infant cowered behind Black Abyss, trembling too much to speak, afraid the man would notice it.

"Hah! And you think you count as a person?" Lu Siye sneered.

He stepped forward. Blazing Yang energy and blood gathered into a blade in his hand, while surging Yang energy burst from his body, spreading across the entire clearing. A flame of Yang Fire appeared on his right shoulder.

Damn it! I absolutely can't fight him. I'll definitely die! Fear Points +999!

"You really have become a Night Wanderer Envoy!" Black Abyss's pupils contracted, shock filling his heart.

He grabbed the Ghost Head Infant behind him and hurled it at Lu Siye, then turned and ran.

The last trace of his fighting spirit vanished the moment he learned Lu Siye had advanced to Night Wanderer Envoy.

Black Abyss, you bastard! Fear Points +99!

"No!" the Ghost Head Infant shrieked.

Seeing Lu Siye's grim expression, it tried to blow up its other arm to buy itself a chance to escape.

"You think the same trick will work on me twice?"

Lu Siye tilted his head and met the Ghost Head Infant's gaze. In an instant, he was in front of it. His blood blade flashed out, pierced its heart, and pinned it to the ground.

"You've killed plenty of people, haven't you? Time to pay your debt." Lu Siye clamped a hand around the Ghost Head Infant's head, and a terrifying suction force erupted.

"No!"

"Black Abyss, I curse you! I'll be waiting for you on the road to the underworld!" the Ghost Head Infant roared with all its strength as it died. Its voice, thick with hatred, echoed through the forest.

Ding~ Ghost Head Infant (Evil Ghost) has died. Fear Points +100!

In the darkness, Black Abyss darted between the trees like a mass of black mist. At the sound of the voice, his whole body shuddered.

Damn it, that useless thing didn't even hold him off for half a minute! Fear Points +768!

Suddenly, a sinister voice sounded beside Black Abyss's ear.

"Someone... No, a ghost asked me to do something. I'm here to send you down to keep it company."

He's here! He's here! Fear Points +999!

Black Abyss's heart seemed to stop. He threw a punch toward the voice, but hit nothing.

"If your eyes are useless, I don't mind helping you dig them out." The sinister voice sounded by his ear again, closer this time.

"Ah!" Black Abyss swung at his side with all his strength again, but struck the trunk of a nearby tree, blowing an entire section apart.

"Come out! Come out if you've got the guts!" Black Abyss shouted wildly, completely at a loss.

"As you wish. But what can you do about it?" Lu Siye suddenly appeared in front of Black Abyss. Startled, Black Abyss stumbled backward and crashed into a tree so wide that it would have taken a person to wrap their arms around it.

"No... Don't come any closer!" Black Abyss stared at Lu Siye as he advanced relentlessly. He kept backing away, terror written across his face.

"No wonder Brother Meng called you useless. With a mind like yours, if you're not useless, who is?" Lu Siye sneered.

A cultivator who was scared out of his wits the moment he faced danger—no wonder his cultivation hadn't advanced in four years.

"Hundreds of dead infants. Hundreds of families torn apart. It's time you paid for that debt!" Lu Siye shouted angrily.

"Stop!" A hoarse voice came from a distance.

But Lu Siye ignored it. He stepped forward, stomping down like a charging elephant. The tremendous force sank into the ground, making it shudder; in an instant, Lu Siye was right in front of Black Abyss.

His blade swept out. A thick arc of red energy poured forth like a waterfall, carrying scorching Yang energy and vital force. Just like the strike he had seen in the longevity lock, it cleaved through Black Abyss and the tree behind him, splitting them in two.

Ding~ Gao Song (Vengeful Ghost) has died. Fear Points +1000!

Rumble!

The huge tree, split in two, crashed to the ground, scattering dust and leaves everywhere.

Through the cloud of dust, a burly man over two meters tall emerged, with a shriveled little man perched on his shoulder.

Though the burly man looked no different from an ordinary person, Lu Siye could sense the dense resentment and corpse energy within him.

"A zombie?" Lu Siye asked gravely.

"You've got some nerve, killing the Netherworld Star Lord right in front of me." The little man spoke in a hoarse voice—the same voice that had just shouted for them to stop.

"So what if I did?" Lu Siye took several steps back, the hairs on his body standing on end.

Though the other man's strength seemed far greater than his own, Lu Siye's attitude remained defiant.

"Good! Good! Good!" The little man on the burly man's shoulder laughed instead of getting angry, even clapping his hands.

Dense corpse energy spread from the burly man, enveloping all three of them. The temperature plunged, and even Lu Siye's body became coated in frost.

Lu Siye's brow furrowed. In their clash against the corpse energy, his vital energy and Yang energy had fallen completely behind. The corpse energy had already invaded parts of his body.

The gap between their strength was even greater than he had imagined.

"Boy, why haven't you knelt before your betters?" The little man looked at the frost covering Lu Siye and gave a cold, sinister smile.

An invisible pressure spread from him, pressing down on Lu Siye in an attempt to force him to his knees.

"Hmph! The strong raise their blades against those stronger than themselves. Only the weak pick on those weaker than them. And you still have the nerve to call yourself strong?"

Lu Siye gritted his teeth. He would sooner die than kneel. Even the bones in his body began to creak under the unbearable pressure.

"How dare you worms from the Netherworld Network run rampant in front of us? No one from the Town Demon Suppression Division will allow it!" Suddenly, a cool voice rang out from the direction of Tianhai City.

The cool voice held a hint of seduction. Lu Siye's tightly furrowed brow relaxed at once. He knew who had arrived.
