Seeing a horde of ghosts break through the formation and escape, Qin Hao immediately took out two Great iron hammers from his Storage Bag, hefted them, and charged at the ghosts.
Qin Hao raised a hand and swung a hammer. Several ghosts were smashed straight into bloody pulp, flesh flying everywhere.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
He was tall and mighty, his muscles hard as iron and stone, his gaze sharp as blades. In one battle against his enemies, Hammer charged into the ghost horde with twin hammers in hand.
He moved like the wind, unstoppable, and enemies fell one after another beneath his iron hammers. The twin hammers danced freely in his hands, every strike accompanied by an earth-shaking boom.
Hammer's attacks were immensely powerful. His twin hammers came down upon his enemies like two mountain peaks, smashing them into meat paste in an instant.
The enemies were terrified by Hammer's ferocious assault and retreated one after another, but his offensive surged toward them like raging tides, impossible to withstand.
Some ghosts tried to surround and attack Hammer, but their attacks were utterly useless against his body, hard as iron.
Hammer's twin hammers flew once more, knocking enemies away one by one. The sheer range of his attacks made it impossible for them to approach him.
The more Qin Hao killed, the more excited he became. He was like a man walking through an empty land, killing one ghost with every hammer blow as system notifications rang endlessly beside his ears.
"Hahahaha, this feels amazing!"
Qin Hao was still slaughtering wildly.
Nearby, Zhong Li Dao was locked in a stalemate with Fourth-tier ghosts.
Watching Qin Hao charge into the ghost horde like a tiger among sheep and slaughter them madly, Zhong Li Dao sighed. "This kid really is a humanoid beast."
But while Zhong Li Dao was distracted, a ghost bit down on his shoulder!
A sharp pain shot through Zhong Li Dao's shoulder. He slammed his palm toward the ghost biting him.
The ghost quickly released him and threw a punch at Zhong Li Dao.
A massive energy shockwave erupted, sending both of them flying backward.
The moment Zhong Li Dao landed, he spat out a mouthful of blood. He hurriedly looked toward the Fourth-tier ghosts in the distance. "These two ghosts are truly troublesome."
"But we need to get rid of them quickly. If that Ghost Spirit makes a move, we'll be in danger."
With that, he rose into the air, spun once midair, and swept out a curtain of light. Like countless stars falling from the heavens, it descended upon the two ghosts. The moment one ghost touched it, its ghostly body began to slowly collapse.
"Ah—"
Under the light curtain's piercing assault, that Fourth-tier ghost's body gradually vanished from the battlefield.
Several dozen low-tier ghosts were also caught in the attack.
The other Fourth-tier ghost became even more vigilant when it saw this, staring warily at Zhong Li Dao. Fortunately, it had dodged in time.
Having dealt with one of the ghosts before him, Zhong Li Dao let out a long breath.
What he had just used was the Sky-Filling Light Curtain, Scattering Gold, which he had exchanged for at a huge price from headquarters. It truly scattered gold—every coin thrown out was points he had saved up for a long time.
Now that only one Fourth-tier ghost remained, Zhong Li Dao no longer held back.
Seizing the right moment, he flashed to its side like lightning. Dull, heavy blows rained down upon its body. The ghost reacted and immediately raised both arms to block, but it gradually became unable to hold out and retreated again and again, until Zhong Li Dao sent it flying with a kick.
The ghost flew backward, heading straight toward Qin Hao.
Meanwhile, Qin Hao was still harvesting these leeks. His points continued to rise. They had long since broken past two thousand and were still steadily climbing.
As Qin Hao harvested the low-tier ghosts, he sensed a figure hurtling toward him.
Qin Hao also saw that it was the Fourth-tier ghost that had been fighting Zhong Li Dao.
The ghost skidded along the ground until it stopped at Qin Hao's feet.
Qin Hao looked at the ghost beneath his feet and revealed a kindly smile. When the ghost looked up and saw Qin Hao, its face filled with terror, and it immediately tried to get up and flee.
But Qin Hao could not let go of any chance to earn attribute points. Power began gathering throughout his body, lightning covering him. Qin Hao looked like a god, making the ghost at his feet let out a terrified shriek!
Qin Hao gave a furious roar!
Lightning covered the hammer as it smashed heavily onto the ghost's body. In an instant, the Fourth-tier ghost was blasted into pieces. With the hammer as its center, lightning burst outward in every direction, and every ghost in its path was reduced to ashes.
Ding! ...
... Ding
Qin Hao's attribute points began skyrocketing, breaking through the ten-thousand mark in one go.
Seeing his attribute points surge wildly, Qin Hao was extremely excited.
Qin Hao's eyes lit up as he looked toward the other ghosts, as though they were peerless beauties.
The ghosts got goosebumps from Qin Hao's stare.
"Finally dealt with it." Looking at the Fourth-tier ghost Qin Hao had killed, Zhong Li Dao let out a long sigh of relief.
"Captain Zhong, watch out!" Just then, Zhong Li Dao suddenly heard Qin Hao's warning.
A chill suddenly ran down his back!
A tall figure appeared behind him. It was the Ghost Spirit.
"Ah, what a bunch of trash. You can't even deal with a mere Golden Core human."
As it spoke, its tail lashed toward Zhong Li Dao. Before Zhong Li Dao could react, he was sent flying hundreds of meters and embedded in the mountainside. Blood covered his body, and he had already fallen unconscious, motionless as he remained wedged in a crack in the rocks.
"Captain!" Seeing Zhong Li Dao attacked, Bai Ling and the others shouted.
"Damn it! I'll kill you!" Yang Jie did not waste a word. Breaking free from the surrounding ghosts, he charged toward the Ghost Spirit.
"Heh! Trash." Seeing this human dare attack it, the Ghost Spirit sneered. In its eyes, these people were no different from ants. Their strength was far too weak, yet they refused to surrender and even dared to attack?
At that thought, its gaze turned incomparably cold, and its figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
Seeing the Ghost Spirit disappear, Yang Jie immediately became alert. But before he could react, his vision suddenly blurred.
Yang Jie's body shot backward.
"Yang Jie!" Seeing this, Bai Ling, Zhang Xiang, and the others collapsed helplessly to the ground, covering their faces as they wept.
Just as Yang Jie's body was about to crash into the mountainside, a figure caught him and completely dispersed the force.
The newcomer was Qin Hao.
Qin Hao was holding the unconscious Yang Jie, whose injuries were extremely severe.
"This really is troublesome." When Qin Hao had caught Yang Jie, he felt the force behind the Ghost Spirit's strike. It carried at least ten thousand jin of force. It had merely been a casual blow, yet it possessed such strength.
Qin Hao did not know whether he could withstand it if the Ghost Spirit went all out.
Seeing Qin Hao save Yang Jie, Bai Ling, Zhang Xiang, Gao Hu, and the others hurried over. They also brought the equally unconscious Zhong Li Dao with them.
"Qin Hao, are you all right?" Bai Ling asked as soon as she reached Qin Hao's side.
"I'm fine. Yang Jie has only passed out. You three, take Captain Zhong and the others away from here. I'll stay behind."
"No! You can't stay behind alone. You saw it too—it's a Ghost Spirit, not something you can handle by yourself. You'll die alone." Before Qin Hao could finish, Bai Ling immediately objected.
"Qin Hao, you can't do this alone, you should—" Before Gao Hu could finish, Qin Hao interrupted them.
"Hurry up and leave. Otherwise, all of us will be left here." Without waiting for Bai Ling and the others to object, Qin Hao slowly walked toward the Ghost Spirit.
"And who said I was staying behind to die? What I meant to say was that I'll deal with it. I only told you to leave because I was afraid the battle would affect you." Halfway there, Qin Hao turned back and said,
Hearing Qin Hao say this, Gao Hu and the others stopped wondering whether he had merely made an excuse to send them away. They could only take Yang Jie and the others away.
As she left, Bai Ling shouted loudly at Qin Hao, "Qin Hao, you have to hold on! You have to stay alive!"
With tears in her eyes, she ran into the distance.
Qin Hao was somewhat speechless at the sight. They were making it seem like a final parting between the living and the dead.
