Instantly Killing the Ghost Coffin—Who Can Absorb More?

Instantly Killing the Ghost Coffin—Who Can Absorb More?

Moreover, all of those paper planes could be controlled.

They could even change direction and absorb blood!

Although the Ghost Infant was agile enough to dodge most of the paper planes, it was still struck by one.

After the paper plane pierced the Ghost Infant's body, it began greedily absorbing the blood within it.

Once absorbed by the paper plane, the blood flowed straight into the blood thread connected to it. Like a snake swallowing an egg, it traveled along the thread and entered Yi Mingqiu's body.

"It can absorb blood too. Looks like this is one of the ways he strengthens himself."

But the Ghost Infant was no pushover either, immediately swatting the paper plane away.

After several exchanges, both sides were injured. They were evenly matched!

A single Ghost Infant could fight three Anomalies-wielding Cleansers captain at once. That alone proved how powerful it was.

The other Investigation Bureau personnel watched with their scalps tingling.

Even such a formidable captain could only fight the Ghost Infant to a draw.

If all of them charged in together, they probably would not even be enough to fill the Ghost Infant's teeth.

The Ghost Infant seemed to sense that something was wrong and turned to flee.

When Chen Yu saw it trying to escape, his eyes narrowed slightly, as though he had noticed something off.

"Hmph! Trying to run? No way! Since we met today, I can't let you leave alive!"

Yi Mingqiu's fighting spirit surged. He once again deployed the Ghost Paper Planes, intending to kill the fleeing Ghost Infant.

The others grew excited as well.

If the Ghost Infant fled, that meant it was no match for the captain!

The Ghost Infant continued dodging, changing positions after every evasive move.

Without anyone noticing, it drew closer and closer to the coffin.

Yet Yi Mingqiu still had not noticed.

By the time the Ghost Infant stretched out its hand and touched the Ghost Coffin—

Yi Mingqiu's expression changed dramatically!

Only then did he realize that he had been tricked.

The Ghost Infant had not been trying to escape.

It had only pretended to flee, while actually approaching the Ghost Coffin!

The instant the Ghost Infant touched the Ghost Coffin—

A powerful Anomaly force burst out from within the coffin, traveling through the Ghost Infant's hand and into its body!

[Buzz!]

[The Ghost Infant before you has grown stronger!]

[Your life comes first—run!]

Similar notifications appeared on everyone's phones.

And they were accompanied by red exclamation-mark warnings!

"Damn it, I refuse to believe I can't subdue you today!"

All three of his Anomalies activated at once. He wielded the Ghost Fire Axe in his left hand and fired Ghost Paper Planes from his right.

At the same time, he used the Ghost Mask to keep the Ghost Infant from catching him off guard.

Previously, the Ghost Infant had needed to dodge.

But this time—

The Ghost Infant neither dodged nor evaded. It turned around and stared sinisterly at Yi Mingqiu.

Two streams of bloody tears flowed from the corners of its eyes.

[Wuu wuu wuu...]

A baby's chilling cry rang out through the night sky.

The sound waves stirred an invisible current of air that spread outward from the Ghost Infant.

A cold smile hung on Yi Mingqiu's face.

"This move is useless against me. I thought you were stronger than this. If this is all you've got, then obediently go underground for me—"

The Ghost Mask was instantly pierced!

Before he could finish speaking, Yi Mingqiu, struck by the sound waves, shuddered all over and collapsed to the ground. He lost all ability to move, lying there like stagnant water, utterly unable to budge!

Drool even trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Even the Investigation Bureau personnel fifty or sixty meters away from the Ghost Infant were affected.

[What an awful sound, what an awful sound! Sis, I'm going crazy!]

[Big brother, protect me! Sis, cover your ears!]

The Ghost Doll was in extreme discomfort and began screaming.

A curse power erupted from within the Ghost Doll and collided with the sound waves of the Ghost Infant's crying.

Though it could not stop the sound-wave attack, it still weakened its power.

That was why everyone merely felt uncomfortable instead of falling unconscious.

"This..."

Seeing the Cleansers captain collapse just like that—

Every Investigation Bureau member turned deathly pale, their faces filled with disbelief.

[Hehehe... into the coffin... coffin...]

After defeating Yi Mingqiu, the Ghost Infant muttered some incomprehensible words and slowly crawled toward him.

It grabbed Yi Mingqiu by the hair and dragged him toward the coffin, seemingly intending to pull him inside.

"This is bad! Save the captain!"

"How are we supposed to save him? Go die? Didn't you see how strong the Ghost Infant is?"

The Investigation Bureau personnel were frantic.

Li Hao turned to Chen Yu with a pleading look. "Mr. Nightfall, please save our captain... Without him, we won't be able to suppress the Rift..."

"Alright."

Even if Li Hao had not spoken, Chen Yu had been preparing to act.

But just as he took a step forward—

Yi Mingqiu, being dragged by the hair, exhausted all his strength to shout, "Don't come over! You can't beat it! It touched the Ghost Coffin, and its strength has increased tremendously! Tell the Investigation Bureau to mobilize all the gold in the city and surround this entire mountain. Only then might we have a chance to turn things around..."

As though he had finished his final words, his eyes suddenly widened, and he immediately activated the Anomalies within his body with all his might.

Anomaly power began to spread.

It even expanded into the surroundings.

He was burning his life away!

Chen Yu frowned.

This guy was a truly good man. To protect Linjiang City, he was actually willing to give up his life.

[Hahaha, good. We'll take your life.]

[From now on, your body belongs to us.]

[Thank you. We'll give you one final hand.]

Several eerie voices came from within Yi Mingqiu's body.

They were clearly the voices of Anomalies!

Sure enough, Anomalies awakened at the cost of life were even more powerful.

Their Anomaly Abilities erupted at their strongest state. The Ghost Fire Axe became larger than before and far more powerful.

The Ghost Paper Planes in his hand had also been soaked in blood.

The Ghost Mask began releasing its immense power as well, desperately isolating the sound-wave aura!

Yi Mingqiu regained his ability to fight. His eyes were bloodshot and red, with thin streams of blood flowing from them, while blood continuously seeped from the corners of his mouth.

"Alright, you should rest for a while now."

At that moment, a clear voice sounded beside Yi Mingqiu's ear.

Then a pitch-black palm slapped Yi Mingqiu directly on the head.

Chen Yu acted in time, stopping Yi Mingqiu from burning his life away.

If this continued, every Anomaly inside him would revive. Within three minutes, Yi Mingqiu would die completely, his body turning into a vessel for Anomalies.

Naturally, Chen Yu would not stand by and watch him die, so he had the Headless Ghost Shadow knock Yi Mingqiu unconscious first.

Yi Mingqiu had never expected a single slap from Chen Yu's Headless Ghost Shadow to carry such terrifying force...

Before passing out, he stared at the Headless Ghost Shadow in stunned disbelief, then looked at Chen Yu. "You brat... what are you doing? Fuck your mother..."

Before he could finish, Yi Mingqiu completely lost consciousness and fell to the ground. No one knew whether he was dead or alive.

The Investigation Bureau members around them were dumbfounded as well.

What was Nightfall doing?

Yi Mingqiu had just been prepared to pay with his life to delay the Ghost Infant.

Now that Yi Mingqiu was unconscious, who could delay the Ghost Infant? "Nightfall, what are you doing?"

"Yeah! Our captain was prepared to heroically sacrifice himself to delay the Ghost Infant, yet you knocked him unconscious?"

Several Investigation Bureau elites were baffled and displeased, but they did not dare sound too aggressive. After all, the legendary Nightfall stood before them.

Chen Yu glanced at them. "He's quite strong, and he's protected Huaxia for many years. It'd be a shame if he died."

"But... our people haven't arrived yet... If the Ghost Infant goes berserk and enters Linjiang City, the city will be plunged into disaster."

"Exactly. Surrounding the entire back mountain with gold is a massive undertaking. If no one can delay the Ghost Infant, then we're finished."

"The Ghost Infant only touched the Ghost Coffin once and was already able to instantly defeat a Cleansers captain. If it enters the Ghost Coffin, wouldn't that be even worse?"

The others all spoke up.

If the Ghost Infant entered the Ghost Coffin and hatched, the world would surely be devastated.

Even Han Ningning did not know why Chen Yu had done this.

But she said nothing. Chen Yu must have had his reasons.

Chen Yu said calmly, "We just need to stop it from going in, right? I'll stop it."

The moment he said that, several Investigation Bureau elites froze.

"Even the captain couldn't stop the Ghost Infant... You... probably can't either."

"Right. I think we should all go together. Every second we can delay the Ghost Infant counts."

It was not that they doubted Chen Yu's strength.

It was simply that Yi Mingqiu's example was right in front of them.

Yi Mingqiu was a captain, yet he had still been defeated by the Ghost Infant in a single move. No matter how strong Chen Yu was, he could not possibly be stronger than Yi Mingqiu.

If he went up, he would merely be throwing his life away.

"Men can't say they can't do it. But if you go up this time, you really can't."

Chen Yu smiled. "Since it wants to enter the Ghost Coffin, we'll just pull it out by the roots."

Pull it out by the roots?

What did he mean?

Chen Yu said, "We'll smash the coffin too."

The moment those words came out, everyone seemed to have been struck by lightning, their minds going completely blank.

Meanwhile, Chen Yu had already made his move against the Ghost Coffin.

The Ghost Coffin was also an Anomaly, though a special kind. It was still alive.

[Little mouse, do you want to come sleep inside? It's very comfortable. Once you lie down, you'll feel so good that you won't want to get up for the rest of your life.]

The Ghost Coffin's voice sounded like Satan's moan emerging from a rift in hell.

No one knew where the voice was coming from.

"Sleep? If you were female, I might give it a try. But a coffin? Forget it!"

Chen Yu sneered, and one of the Anomalies inside him immediately awakened.

A shadow sprang to its feet with a whoosh and appeared before Chen Yu.

A butcher's cleaver had already appeared in the shadow's hand, blackened by the shadow until the two had fused as one.

The Ghost Coffin was a level 15 Anomaly, incredibly powerful—even stronger than the Grave Robber Ghost.

Seeing Chen Yu reject its personal invitation to sleep inside—

It instantly flew into a rage.

[Little mouse, you deserve to die!]

The Ghost Coffin's heavy lid suddenly flew open.

Inside the coffin was a river of stars, filled with all manner of bizarre creatures with gaping bloody mouths.

Any human who entered the coffin—

Would likely be torn apart and devoured by those bizarre creatures at once!

A powerful suction force emerged from the coffin's opening.

Its target was Chen Yu!

The suction made Chen Yu's clothes flap wildly, but his body did not move in the slightest.

The trees around him were uprooted, while rocks flew through the air and shot toward the coffin's opening!

Fortunately, the Investigation Bureau personnel were far from the coffin. Though they were affected somewhat, they were all elites and could still resist it.

Even from so far away, they could feel that terrifying suction force.

How could Chen Yu, standing so close to the Ghost Coffin, remain as immovable as a mountain?

The Investigation Bureau personnel were utterly puzzled.

[Little mouse, why aren't you moving? Why can't I suck you in?]

The Ghost Coffin was also somewhat stunned and confused.

But the next moment.

Its doubts were answered.

A reflection appeared beneath Chen Yu's feet!

The reflection was identical to Chen Yu, its feet tightly pressed against his, fused together.

Ghost Stairs!

Who would have thought Ghost Stairs could be used like this?

[You bastard!]

The Ghost Coffin flew into a rage, its opening widening even further.

The eerie suction immediately became far more powerful.

Chen Yu remained completely unmoved.

But the people from the Investigation Bureau in the distance were different.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

Several screams rang out.

A few people were sucked straight toward it.

They were moving so fast that they had no time to react.

No one had expected the Ghost Coffin's suction to become this powerful when it got angry.

Han Ningning had only recently joined the Investigation Bureau, so she was naturally weaker than the others and was sucked over as well.

However, something strange happened.

Tong Jian and the Ghost Doll showed no abnormalities throughout.

It was as if the suction had no effect on them.

[Brother, what are they doing?]

[Are they flying kites? I want to fly one too. Can I try?]

Seeing this, the Ghost Doll asked curiously.

"If it's a contest of suction, I've got a treasure for that."

Chen Yu chuckled and directly awakened one of the ghosts within his body.

The next moment.

A bizarre and enormous vacuum cleaner appeared in his hand.

"Vrrrrr!"

The vacuum cleaner began to operate.

A violent suction force surged from its nozzle, forming an air vortex that began to contend with the suction from the Ghost Coffin's opening.

Only then were the Investigation Bureau members flying toward the Ghost Coffin saved.

Right afterward, Chen Yu had the Headless Ghost Shadow wrap around his entire body.

His whole body transformed into a Ghost Shadow, slipping through the darkness.

By the time Chen Yu reappeared, he was already behind the Ghost Coffin.

"Hello."

Chen Yu lightly patted the Ghost Coffin's back.

The Ghost Coffin froze and turned around.

It would have been fine if it had not turned around, but the moment it did, it triggered the killing rule!

The killing rule of Ghost Pat Shoulder.

After repeatedly absorbing energy, Ghost Pat Shoulder had successfully risen to level nine.

Although the Ghost Coffin had no shoulders, Ghost Pat Shoulder at level nine no longer needed to pat someone's shoulder. As long as it was patted from an angle where it could not see, turning around would trigger the rule!

The Ghost Coffin, having turned around, fell into the rule's illusion, its consciousness sinking into chaos.

The violent suction instantly vanished as well.

The Ghost Coffin had probably never expected Chen Yu to possess so many ghosts.

The next moment.

Chen Yu gripped the Ghost Butcher Knife and, strengthened by Ghost Shadow, lightly slashed across the Ghost Coffin's body.

Crack!

A crisp sound like wood being split rang out.

Chen Yu effortlessly cut the Ghost Coffin into two halves.

This time, Chen Yu had used several low-level ghosts that he did not often use.

Combined and fused together, their effect was quite good.

He had directly defeated the Ghost Coffin despite the difference in level.

By the time the Investigation Bureau members came to their senses, they were already completely terrified.
