Jiang Shangbai
Richard was speechless. Did he just happen to have a naturally arrogant, protagonist-like face?
He's been so low-key, okay?
Even now, people are causing trouble.
That's definitely not his problem.
Since it's not his problem, it must be the other party's problem.
Jiang Shangbai, is that you? If I don't beat you so badly your own mother won't recognize you today, I'll change my surname to yours.
And Ye Zhen, you're gloating too much, aren't you? Believe me or not, I'll beat you up too.
Snap...
Five clear finger marks appeared on Jiang Shangbai's face, and he looked incredulous.
He seemed unable to believe that someone was so brave as to actually attack him.
Richard slowly lowered his hand.
You started by flirting with her, and since you took the initiative to provoke her, it's only fair that you get slapped.
"Hey Ye Zhen, you saw it, he started it. You can't blame me for this."
Before making his move, Jiang Shangbai made sure to tell Ye Zhen, mainly because he was afraid that Ye Zhen might go crazy and cause him trouble.
"It's alright, go ahead and hit me, it doesn't matter if you kill me." Ye Zhen waved his hand with a smile, signaling Jiang Shangbai to hurry up and go, he was waiting to see the show.
Richard smiled at Ye Zhen. "Kid, just you wait."
Jiang Shangbai's expression changed; Ye Zhen had a lot of confidence in this friend.
Very strong?
Hmph, so what if he's strong? Jiang Shangbai's strength isn't bad either.
I don't believe I can't beat this guy who appeared out of nowhere.
He unleashed his Ghost Domain, simultaneously activating the supernatural ability to Trampling Ghost, attempting to suppress Richard's Vengeful Ghost spirit powers.
If Richard were weak, he might even be killed.
However, his attack felt like he hadn't touched anything substantial; it was as if he had attacked a shadow.
Jiang Shangbai was startled; he had misjudged the man, who was indeed quite powerful.
However, since we've already offended him, we shouldn't hold back; it would be best to kill him right here and now.
He made up his mind, and his expression grew even colder.
A shroud appeared on his body; it was one of the Vengeful Ghost he controlled, the Ghost Burial Clothes.
It's somewhat similar to the outfit Ye Feng wore in Wang Xiaoqiang's Club.
Perhaps the two are pieces of a puzzle, or perhaps they are the work of people from the Republic Era.
But no matter what he did, he couldn't do anything to Richard in the distance.
Richard seemed right there, yet he couldn't touch him, like a flower in a mirror or the moon's reflection in water. Like a dream, a fleeting illusion.
Richard let him do as he pleased, then slapped him across the other side of the face with his own hand.
Now the handprints on both sides of his face are symmetrical.
Richard nodded in satisfaction.
Jiang Shangbai was furious. This was a blatant humiliation, an utter disgrace!
He was determined to kill this person. Even if he couldn't do it himself, he would use his Circle of Friends of connections to take him down.
Richard didn't care what the other party was thinking. After thinking for a moment, he directly stripped Jiang Shangbai of the Ghost Burial Clothes.
Consider this burial shroud the price for their provocation.
As for whether this would cause the Vengeful Ghost within the other person to lose its balance and Vengeful Ghost Revival, he didn't care; they deserved to die.
Jiang Shangbai watched helplessly as his Ghost Burial Clothes was stripped off, powerless to resist.
A chill ran down his spine. Where did this monster come from?
Ye Zhen had never exerted such immense pressure on him.
He didn't even know how the other party did it. His Ghost Domain didn't react at all, as if the other party didn't exist, but the other party was still able to attack him.
This feeling is very frustrating.
If he could turn back time, he would definitely tell himself never to provoke this monster.
But it wasn't actually that mysterious; he had fallen for Richard's illusion from the very beginning.
All his actions were fake; it was all an illusion. He never actually used any strange abilities from the beginning.
Everyone saw him moving around wildly like he was having a mental breakdown, so Richard went over and slapped him.
He didn't resist; instead, it seemed like his mental illness had worsened.
Then Richard stripped him of his Ghost Burial Clothes.
There was virtually no resistance from beginning to end.
Before coming to this world, Richard was wary of the various abilities of the Vengeful Ghost here. He was afraid that they might be some kind of unreasonable monster with mechanics that would kill you no matter how strong you were.
It's like the Daoist patriarch going to the Green Green Grassland and still not being able to catch a single sheep.
But after arriving in this world, I discovered that although it seems to have an invincible mechanism, it is actually composed of various Rules.
Supernatural confrontations also depend on the strength of the Rules and laws.
That way he wouldn't be afraid, at least not afraid of being killed by a random first encounter.
Just like now, when he ripped off Jiang Shangbai's Ghost Burial Clothes with his bare hands, although the supernatural force tried to invade his body, he easily resisted it.
The people at Headquarters initially tried to stop him when he was stripping Jiang Shangbai of his Ghost Burial Clothes. After all, Jiang Shangbai was nominally Ghost Controller at Headquarters, and this was still going too far.
But Ye Zhen stared at them, as if he would attack if they made another move.
This made the Ghost Controller at Headquarters hesitant to move; they had already experienced Ye Zhen's power and had no desire to face him again.
Moreover, for these Ghost Controller, using Supernatural Ability is tantamount to consuming their lifespan.
If it's just about supporting Jiang Shangbai, that's fine, but if it's about real fighting? That won't do.
After doing all this, Richard finally dispelled the illusion for Jiang Shangbai.
After a while, Jiang Shangbai regained consciousness.
He immediately sensed that the two Vengeful Ghost within his body were becoming more active.
Having lost the Ghost Burial Clothes, the supernatural power within him was indeed somewhat unbalanced.
Previously, the supernatural power within him was very stable. As long as he didn't overuse it, there was basically no risk of the Vengeful Ghost Revival for a long time.
Now, he feels that if he doesn't think of a way, he will die from the Vengeful Ghost Revival within a year.
Having witnessed Richard's prowess, he dared not cause any more trouble. He simply sought out Richard, hoping to pay a price to redeem his Ghost Burial Clothes.
He'd agree to give money, gold, or even other Vengeful Ghost he'd collected from his Circle of Friends, as long as it got him Ghost Burial Clothes.
Unfortunately, Richard wasn't interested in any of those things; he was only interested in the Ghost Burial Clothes, which meant Jiang Shangbai had no chance of getting back.
Jiang Shangbai a great loss, and his face turned very ugly.
He left with a sour face; having lost so much face, he was too embarrassed to stay there any longer.
Meanwhile, many people at Headquarters were secretly pleased, as Jiang Shangbai always flaunted his Circle of Friends at Headquarters by relying on his social media connections.
He goes out with an air of superiority, looking down on other Ghost Controller.
They suffered a major setback this time, and they deserved it.
At the same time, he also felt a growing sense of apprehension towards Richard. Jiang Shangbai was no weakling; in fact, it could be said that among the Ghost Controller Headquarters, only Li Jun could fight him, and the others were no match for him.
Even Jiang Shangbai was defeated without any apparent reason; this person is definitely not someone to be trifled with.
Jiang Shangbai has paved the way for everyone this time, letting them know that anyone who can associate with Ye Zhen is no ordinary person. What a good guy!
