One Against Six?
Many people know that Yang Jian and Fang Shiming from the WeChat Moments had a fight in the city a while ago. It has been circulating in the circle for the past few days. As a result, the WeChat Moments suffered heavy losses. Some core members were killed, and the remaining Ghost Tamer were forced to resign and leave the WeChat Moments.
The remaining assets were taken over by Headquarters.
The speed and pace of these events led outsiders to suspect that the entire operation was orchestrated by Headquarters to dismantle the network.
After the incident, the Headquarters' prestige was greatly enhanced.
However, Pei Dong was not interested in these changes in the situation. The two most crucial people in the whole affair were Yang Jian and Fang Shiming.
Fang Shiming has now disappeared. Some people assert that this Mr. Fang is dead, while others believe that Fang Shiming could no longer stay and had already fled abroad. But in any case, the possibility of Fang Shiming showing up is very small.
Yang Jian, who single-handedly challenged everyone in his circle of friends, naturally became well-known to many.
However, some of what happened that night has been leaked out. Fang Shiming said it himself when he left: Yang Jian's condition was very unusual at the time, and it was suspected that he would not live much longer.
Sure enough, Yang Jian mysteriously disappeared, neither returning to Dachang City nor appearing at Headquarters.
Although it hasn't been gone for long, it has already proven a lot.
Therefore, the speculation among people in the industry that Yang Jian is dead is based on evidence and is not just wild guesses.
But now.
Ghost Eye Yang Jian appeared right in front of Pei Dong, and his expression turned ugly; his grin vanished instantly.
Inside the nearby buildings, the figures who had been watching from afar began to sway and hesitate, showing a hint of unease, or perhaps sensing something was amiss. They were unsure whether to linger or make a hasty retreat to avoid clashing with this top-tier Ghost Tamer.
If Yang Jian were to fight here, many people would die.
They could easily take down Feng Quan alone by joining forces, but with someone like him added to the mix, even if they won, it would likely be a Pyrrhic victory, not to mention the risk of being wiped out.
Unbeknownst to many, Yang Jian has now become quite a threat, instilling fear in a team of Ghost Tamer.
"Brother Leg, Tong Qian is suspected of being controlled by these people, but she shouldn't be dead. The guy on the other side, Pei Dong, was one of the leaders in the same batch as me. He mysteriously disappeared later. Headquarters has his file and thought he was dead, but they didn't expect him to still be alive. Be careful, he's probably controlling two ghosts. His previous code name was: Ghost Touching Head."
At this moment, Feng Quan said something, telling what had just happened, and revealing other information.
"You really love to talk too much, Feng Quan. This is quite different from the old you. If I had known, I wouldn't have been so stingy. I should have killed you the moment we met."
Pei Dong grinned, but he couldn't manage a smile; his gaze remained fixed on Yang Jian.
"So, the infamous Ghost Eye Yang Jian is going to stand up for him? One against six, even you wouldn't be able to withstand the first wave of attacks if it really started. How about we call it quits and pretend it was all a misunderstanding, like nothing happened?"
Yang Jian frowned. "Where is Tong Qian? Hand her over."
Pei Dong said, "If you, Yang Jian, agree to my request, I will consider Tong Qian's matter. Until then, I assure you that Tong Qian is absolutely fine; she just needs his help with some things."
"You need to understand, I'm not begging you, I'm warning you," Yang Jian.
"It's all the same to me. You are indeed very special, but if we were to fight to the death here, it's hard to say whether you could survive. You wouldn't be able to handle the aftermath either. A supernatural incident would not benefit anyone. Besides, Headquarters is still having a headache over the ghost painting. You, as the captain, will be called up sooner or later. You might as well save your strength for something bigger. Why keep targeting us?"
Pei Dong's words sounded like he was admitting defeat, but they were actually a threat.
The gist of it is that if they push us too far, they wouldn't mind causing a few supernatural incidents here, to see who suffers more losses.
"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Yang Jian looked at him.
Pei Dong's expression hardened. He felt that Yang Jian was not so easy to reason with. He seemed a bit hot-headed, or perhaps this guy simply didn't take them seriously. Only then would he dare to act this way.
"Don't forget, you're a human being too. Humans die. I gave you some good advice; you should listen to it. Feng Quan, you should advise your Captain Yang. You know the consequences."
Feng Quan said, "It's none of your business what decisions we make, Pei Dong. We can stop here, but hand over Tong Qian first. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what will happen next."
Giving in is not an option.
He understood Yang Jian's character; he had never seen him back down in front of a living person since he debuted.
"A bunch of rats hiding in the shadows, doing dirty tricks, do they really think they have the right to negotiate with me just because they outnumber me?" Yang Jian believed that the negotiations had broken down. His face was cold as he slowly walked forward.
The surrounding red light began to rapidly encroach upon this Ghost Domain.
"Go ahead and try if you want. Let's see if I can slaughter you all today."
As Yang Jian approached Pei Dong, who was not far away, the speed of the red Ghost Domain's erosion intensified. Everything nearby seemed to be covered in a layer of red light, as if it were stained with blood.
"Threatening me? You dare to? Since you're willing to risk your lives to create a supernatural event, then I'll see if you really have the guts. If you can actually do it, I'll admire you a little; at least you're not cowards who bully the weak with numbers. If you're just trying to scare people, then you've chosen the wrong target."
"You said it was one against six before, right? I'm sorry, it's one against five now."
Yang Jian suddenly stopped and then kicked forward.
A corpse appeared out of thin air and was kicked out of the Ghost Domain. The corpse's mouth was wide open. Although the person was dead, a shrill scream of a vengeful ghost came from the depths of that open mouth. The scream was eerie and terrifying, sending chills down one's spine.
"You dare to fight like others after only controlling one ghost? You're incredibly stupid. People like you are going to die sooner or later. I'll send you on your way first to save you from causing trouble later."
Pei Dong's eyes narrowed when he saw the corpse on the ground with its huge mouth open. He looked at Yang Jian with a mixture of shock and anger.
Damn it.
When did this guy make his move? Was it while he was talking? But even if he was talking, the time was far too short. Even if someone is dead, they couldn't die that quickly.
It was like being instantly killed by a vengeful ghost.
The next moment.
Zheng Long's corpse appeared beside him. Although this Ghost Domain was being eroded by Yang Jian, it was still within a controllable range.
Pei Dong quickly closed the corpse's open mouth, and then the eerie screams that echoed around them came to an abrupt end.
However, this person is already dead. If the matter is not dealt with quickly and the corpse continues to wail like this, the vengeful spirit will inevitably rise to power.
"Yang Jian, don't go too far."
Pei Dong is also a person who cares about his reputation. As someone who was in charge at the same time as Feng Quan, it's impossible for him not to be angry that he's being bullied and oppressed like this by a newcomer.
"Whose Ghost Domain is this? He'll be the next one to die. He likes to play dirty tricks, huh? Today I'll play with that guy properly."
Yang Jian continued walking forward, his body radiating a red light that seemed to illuminate the dim world. In just a moment, the surrounding buildings began to disappear rapidly, and the sky began to change color.
The intrusion is escalating.
He admitted that this person's Ghost Domain was indeed quite impressive.
The ghostly mist that suppressed Feng Quan should be classified as a fourth-level Ghost Domain according to his Ghost Eye, similar to Wei Jing or the Ghost Messenger. However, unfortunately, the person who controlled this Ghost Domain had a problem and dared not use it for a long time. After dealing with Feng Quan, he could no longer resist the Ghost Eye.
Moreover, Yang Jian did not overuse the power of the Ghost Eye, but maintained a level that was roughly equal to Yang Jian's.
He wasn't afraid of the expenditure of energy.
"Pei Dong, Yang Jian is hiding his strength. The ghost inside his body is unbelievably stable. Right now, this guy is deliberately trying to wear me down with his ghost Ghost Domain, trying to slowly whittle me down and kill me here. You need to make a decision quickly, or more people will die." A voice rang in Pei Dong's ear.
Inside the dimly lit building, a hidden figure, distorted and anxious, paced back and forth.
"Groove."
Pei Dong couldn't help but swear. He looked up at Yang Jian and felt a sense of fear.
Yang Jian had just fought off the Ghost Domain while simultaneously killing Zheng Long, and he had even preserved his strength. What's most unsettling is that he had only used the power of the Ghost Eye so far.
The information says that this guy controlled three ghosts.
"What's wrong? You were fine just now, but now your face looks so pale? You were all smiles when you were dealing with Feng Quan, why aren't you smiling now?" Yang Jian had already come up to Pei Dong.
However, his Ghost Domain has not yet invaded.
Even if two people are face to face, they cannot truly interact if they are actually in different Ghost Domain.
"That corpse was the final warning. Hand over Tong Qian, and I might consider letting you leave here alive. Otherwise, you'll all die here." Yang Jian stared at him coldly. "You don't actually think my Ghost Domain invasion will take you a long time, do you?"
"Think about how this corpse in your hands got to you."
"To suppress your Ghost Domain, it wouldn't even take a second."
Pei Dong was shocked. Looking at his companion's corpse at his feet, he was covered in cold sweat.
He now realized that he and Yang Jian were not even in the same league Ghost Tamer. Even if he waited until the vengeful ghost revived, he still wouldn't be able to defeat this guy.
The fact that Fang Shiming, who was in the circle of friends, fought him to the very end and even had the upper hand, but ultimately had to run away, shows there was a reason for it.
It is suspected that Yang Jian has already resolved the risk of the vengeful ghost's resurgence.
I'm making up for lost time today; I'll update three times. At least 10,000 words.
It might be a bit late, so everyone should go to bed early.
