As black gas spewed out like a fountain, a pale-faced, hunched old man dressed in black appeared beside Leng Binghai.
The moment he appeared, he carried an intensely sinister aura.
Among the Leng Family of Yellow Springs Valley, aside from planting a natal ghost within their own bodies, some also hid ghosts within their shadows.
For example, when I first encountered a member of the Leng Family, Leng Qingyu was one such case.
His shadow had concealed someone from his grandfather's generation, who had ultimately been slain when Xiao Yu appeared.
I hadn't expected Leng Binghai's shadow to hide an Old Ghost as well.
And this Old Ghost's cultivation was not to be underestimated...
I rushed into the marsh and helped Master up.
"Master, are you all right?!"
As Master stood, he wiped the muddy water from the corner of his mouth.
"I'm fine, but those two bastards are in trouble."
After saying that, Master raised the Evil-Slaying Flowing Cloud Sword in his hand again.
"Old Ghost, you got the jump on me just now. Come on, then.
If I don't butcher you two today, I'll have lived my whole damn life for nothing."
Master was fierce and domineering, brimming with killing intent.
His Half-Step Heavenly Surge Realm cultivation erupted in full. As his powerful aura spread out, ripples shook across the marsh one after another.
Leng Binghai was panting heavily, having narrowly escaped death.
He looked at the Old Ghost beside him, his face filled with resentment and fury.
"Third Uncle, this guy should be the Building Guardian of Mountain City.
He has reached the Half-Step Heavenly Rush Realm. Your nephew is no match for him..."
The Old Ghost's expression did not change. He merely looked at Master and spoke again.
"Young man, one should show mercy whenever possible.
