Exterminating Minor Ghosts

BOOM—!

The wooden door of Dorm 404, along with its frame, exploded into burning fragments!

Golden-red flames, carrying wood chips, rained down into the deathly silent room like a torrential downpour!

In front of the dressing table, the "woman" in a faded floral nightgown slowly turned her head.

Her face, pale and swollen, had features that were blurred and piled up like a waterlogged steamed bun.

Her stiff lips stretched upwards, contorting into a non-human smile, like that of a drowned ghost.

BZZZT—!

A cold, viscous, terrifying aura, filled with the suffocating sense of drowning and mental pollution, erupted from that bizarre smiling face like an invisible tsunami!

The air in the entire room felt like deep water, viscous and heavy, making it hard to breathe! Countless desperate wails of women drowning and the gurgling sounds of bubbling water instantly filled his ears!

A Fierce Ghost (C-Class)! And it was a vengeful spirit with strong Water Ghost attributes!

Fang Gang stood at the doorway, like a reef facing a monstrous tidal wave! The Nine Yang Divine Skill surged abruptly!

Inside his dantian, golden-red internal energy exploded like a furnace! An aura of extreme yang and rigidity emanated from his body! Golden-red light flowed beneath his skin!

Ssss—!!!

The invisible mental pollution and suffocating domain collided with the Nine Yang True Fire, sounding like ice water poured into boiling oil, creating a violent sizzling noise!

The strong, sweet scent of osmanthus hair oil was instantly burned into a charred smell! The drowning wails in his ears were forcefully incinerated by the overbearing will of the sun flames!

Nine Yang protects the body, all evil is repelled!

"Putting on a show!"

Fang Gang's eyes were as cold as a blade, and he stepped into the room! The rotten floorboards creaked and groaned under his feet! The Bronze Battle Halberd on his shoulder trembled slightly, its killing intent contained but ready to strike!

The Grudge Pupil brand on his left arm writhed madly under the stimulation of the Fierce Ghost's aura. The dark golden vertical pupil at its end greedily opened and closed, conveying a strong desire to devour!

The smile on the Water Ghost Fierce Ghost's face instantly froze, replaced by a twisted, incomparably venomous sense of offense!

It let out a sharp, piercing hiss! The bone comb in its hand suddenly burst with a pale light!

Scratch, scratch, scratch—!!!

The sound of combing hair was no longer a gentle rhythm but had transformed into the ear-piercing noise of countless bone combs scraping against glass simultaneously!

With a physical mental shockwave, like countless cold poisonous needles, it fiercely stabbed towards Fang Gang's mind!

At the same time, its wet, long hair, like countless black venomous snakes, suddenly grew and spread, carrying a strong yin cold water vapor, entwined with bone-chilling resentment, and strangled towards Fang Gang from all directions! It intended to drag him into the abyss of drowning!

"So noisy!"

Fang Gang roared, like thunder exploding!

The Nine Yang True Fire surged within his body, forcefully dispelling the ear-piercing noise pollution!

Facing the wet hair venomous snakes coiling towards him, he did not retreat. Instead, he forcefully thrust the Bronze Battle Halberd into the floor!

He clenched his fists, and the golden-red light beneath his skin instantly surged! The Elephant Suppressing Prison Force erupted, powerfully channeling into his fists! The dark golden fist edges, infused with the Nine Yang internal energy, were like two small burning suns!

"Scram!"

Both fists shot out! Without any fancy moves! Carrying the domineering will to burn through all directions, they fiercely smashed towards the two thickest streams of wet black hair that were coiling towards him head-on!

BOOM! BOOM!!!

The golden-red fist energy violently collided with the yin cold wet hair! It was like red-hot iron blocks plunged into ice water!

Piercing "sizzling" sounds accompanied by large amounts of white steam rising!

The fist energy containing the supreme yang true fire instantly burned the contacted wet hair until it became scorched and brittle! Wherever the golden-red light passed, resentment wailed and dissipated!

The Water Ghost Fierce Ghost let out a painful shriek! More wet hair rushed forward frantically, attempting to fill the gap!

Fang Gang's eyes were sharp as an eagle's, his footwork erratic, dodging!

His body weaved through the narrow dormitory like a phantom, narrowly avoiding the entanglement of hair attacking from the sides and rear!

With every dodge, he brought forth scorching heat waves, burning the approaching wet hair until it curled up!

His fists were like two burning heavy hammers, striking out continuously!

Each punch carried the power of the Nine Yang True Fire to incinerate evil, burning and crushing large swathes of the coiling wet hair!

The golden-red fist shadows and the black hair filling the air clashed and intertwined, emitting continuous explosions! The entire room steamed with moisture, and the smell of scorching filled the air!

[Ding! Inflicted continuous burning damage on Fierce Ghost (C-Class)! Obtained Evolution Point +1... +1... +1!]

[Usable Evolution Points: 76! (Continuously increasing!)]

The Water Ghost Fierce Ghost's attacks were suppressed by Fang Gang's ferocious fist momentum!

The swollen, rotten face twisted to the extreme, its venom almost dripping out! It abruptly raised the pale bone comb in its hand high!

All the comb teeth on the bone comb instantly detached, transforming into dozens of pale, sharp bone spikes. Like a rain of pear blossoms, they shot towards Fang Gang's vital points with piercing shrieks and intense mental penetration, their speed as fast as lightning! They sealed off all escape routes!

This was its killing move! It contained its fundamental resentment and the power of drowning!

Facing this unavoidable storm of bone spikes, Fang Gang's eyes held no fear. Instead, a strong desire for validation arose within him!

Just how strong was his defense after breaking through to the True Vajra Indestructible Divine Art (Completed Fragment Version), bolstered by his minor success with the Nine Yang Divine Skill?!

"Vajra Indestructible!"

Fang Gang roared inwardly! He stopped dodging and instead straightened his back forcefully! The Indestructible Golden Body was pushed to its absolute limit!

His dark golden skin instantly transformed into something akin to immortal dark golden divine iron! Beneath his skin, the defensive pathways of the True Vajra Indestructible Divine Art operated at breakneck speed, circulating his qi and blood to form layer upon layer of resilient barriers within his skin, tendons, and bones!

Even more so, the Nine Yang True Fire surged forth from his body, forming a thin, golden-red flaming barrier around him!

He intended to use this recently fused and reinforced defense to directly tank the Fierce Ghost's killing move!

Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft—!!!

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.

The bone spurs, dense as rain, shot towards him in an instant! They slammed fiercely into Fang Gang's dark golden body, which was covered in the golden-red flames!

A grating, metallic scraping sound erupted, so piercing it made one's teeth ache!

It was like countless scorching steel needles scraping against billions of layers of stacked alloy steel plates! Where the tips of the bone spurs met the protective fiery aura, dense sparks erupted! The potent, chilling, and venomous energy furiously corroded, attempting to penetrate his defenses!

However!

That dark golden defense, infused with the Nine Yang True Fire, was like an eternal, indestructible wall of sighs!

The bone spurs, ashen white, had barely penetrated the golden-red flaming barrier by half an inch before they hit an invisible chasm and could go no further!

The violent, venomous, yin energy collided with the flowing Nine Yang True Fire, emitting an even more intense "hissing" sound as it was rapidly vaporized and purified!

Dozens of bone spurs left only dozens of tiny red marks on Fang Gang's skin, like cigarette burns—they hadn't even broken his skin!

"Roar—!!!" The Water Ghost and Fierce Ghost let out an unprecedented, piercing shriek, a mixture of pain and the burning of its very essence!

Its most powerful killing move couldn't even scratch the opponent's skin?! Was this bald man… a monster?!

Now!

A ferocious light erupted from Fang Gang's eyes! The shock effect of tanking the killing move was exactly the opening he had been waiting for!

He stomped his foot! The decaying floor exploded outwards! His body shot out like a cannonball! His speed was at its absolute limit!

In an instant, he passed through the sky filled with broken, wet hair and the dissipating afterimages of bone spurs, appearing before the Water Ghost and Fierce Ghost!

His right fist was already charged, his Nine Yang internal energy compressed to its maximum! The fist was engulfed in a raging golden-red flame, as if he were holding a miniature sun!

Carrying the overbearing will to incinerate all evil, he fiercely slammed his fist towards the Fierce Ghost's swollen, distorted, rotten face!

"Burn to ashes for me…!"

Boom—!!!!

An indescribable explosion! The golden-red Solar True Fire instantly engulfed the Fierce Ghost's head! The power of utmost yang and utmost hardness poured into its body, composed of resentment and yin water, like molten lava!

Hiss—!!!!

Blinding white steam vigorously billowed! The Fierce Ghost could only let out half a scream before its entire body, under the incineration of the Nine Yang True Fire, rapidly melted and vaporized like a snowman under the scorching sun! The bone comb clattered to the ground, its light completely extinguished!

[Ding! Killed 'Drowning Fierce Ghost (Rank C)'! Gained +50 Evolution Points!]

[Ding! Absorbed pure yin and resentful energy, converted to +20 Evolution Points! Current Evolution Points: 76 + 70 = 146!]

The battle was over.

The room was a mess, filled with the smell of scorching and the lingering steam. The pale candle had long since been extinguished.

On the dressing table's mirror, the thick layer of dust and water stains seemed to have lightened, faintly reflecting Fang Gang's standing figure.

Fang Gang slowly retracted his fist, the golden-red light under his skin slowly receding.

He looked down at the tiny red marks on his chest and arms left by the bone spurs; they were rapidly disappearing under the circulation of the Nine Yang True Fire.

"Vajra Indestructible… Nine Yang True Fire…" Fang Gang clenched his fist, feeling the surging power and indestructible defense within his body, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

This defense, to directly tank the killing move of a Rank C Fierce Ghost without taking a scratch! It was absolutely worth it!

His gaze swept over the lusterless bone comb on the ground, then at his own dark golden, mirror-shiny head reflected in the mirror.

"Combing hair?" A cold arc traced Fang Gang's lips. "I don't need to."

He walked over to the dressing table and picked up the bone comb. It felt cool in his hand, with a trace of yin energy lingering on it. The system prompt chimed:

[Ding! Obtained Special Item: 'Drowning Soul Bone Comb' (Rank C). Contains drowned resentment, can unleash a mental piercing attack (weak). Do you wish to spend 5 Evolution Points to purify/convert it?]

"Convert!" Fang Gang said without hesitation. Even a little bit of gain was still gain.

[Evolution Points -5!]

[Converting… Removing residual resentment… Purifying bone quality…]

[Conversion complete! Obtained Material: 'Pure Yin Bone' (Rank C). Can be used to strengthen bone-type equipment or techniques.]

Fang Gang casually pocketed the white bone material, which had become warm and lustrous like jade. With 146 Evolution Points, he could significantly upgrade the True Nine Yang Divine Skill!

He hefted the Bronze Battle Halberd stuck in the ground, turned, and prepared to leave.

The moment he stepped out of Room 404—

Woosh—!!!

The familiar, sharp, ear-piercing flute melody, laced with malicious intent to control wills, abruptly sounded in the night sky outside the dead-quiet old dormitory building, with no warning!

The flute song was more rapid, more frenzied than at the crematorium! The target… seemed not to be Fang Gang, but… the entire old dormitory building?!

Fang Gang stopped abruptly! Cold light erupted from his eyes! Stimulated by the flute music, the Grudge Pupil brand on his left arm writhed madly again! The slit of the dark gold vertical pupil at its end suddenly widened!

An extremely cold, extremely greedy will, carrying a strong urge to devour, erupted like a volcano!

This time, the target was no longer the flute music itself, but something… forcibly awakened by the flute music!

Rumble—!!!

The entire old dormitory building suddenly began to shake violently! As if an earthquake had struck! The walls, floors, and ceiling groaned under the immense strain! Dust rained down!

Even more terrifyingly, downstairs! The first, second, third floors… all the rooms began to emit bone-chilling sounds!

"Hoo… hoooo…"

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

Scratching sounds! Banging sounds! Low growls! They rose one after another! It was as if countless things were awakening from under dusty beds, abandoned wardrobes, and even from within the walls!

A strong stench of corpse mixed with chilling ghostly energy erupted from every floor like a geyser! Instantly turning the entire dormitory building into a boiling den of demons!

"Damn it! What the hell is going on?!" Chen Tao and the others, standing beyond the cordon line, were deathly pale. Staring at the violently shaking, wailing old building, they retreated in fright!

Fang Gang stood on the shaking corridor of the fourth floor, his cold gaze piercing through the walls, looking in the direction of the night sky where the flute music originated. He tightened his grip on the Bronze Battle Halberd in his hand, and a golden-red light lit up again beneath his skin.

"Reselling?" Fang Gang grinned, revealing his stark white teeth, his eyes burning with a fighting spirit and fierce light more intense than the Nine Yang True Fire.

"Perfect, I'll… take it all!"
