Every Trick in the Book

At first, things were fine; Grandfather Huang Three, whose attention was drawn to the other phantoms, didn't notice the figure climbing the earthen wall.

But when the phantom climbed to a height of more than ten meters, its solitary figure became somewhat conspicuous.

Staring at the phantom on the earthen wall, Grandfather Huang Three immediately laughed hatefully, "Hahaha----Found you! You stinking fox! Don't even think about running away!"

As Grandfather Huang Three spoke, the ground beneath its feet seemed to instantly liquefy into water, engulfing its enormous form.

Just two breaths later, Grandfather Huang Three's enormous figure emerged from the earthen wall once more, appearing above the phantom.

"You filthy fox, die!"

Then, just like before, Grandfather Huang Three slammed his claw down on the phantom.

However, this time, Grandfather Huang Three missed his target. Fortunately, most of his body was still stuck in the earthen wall, so Grandfather Huang Three didn't fall down because of misjudging his target.

"Fake? You filthy fox! You lied to me again! I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"

Roaring madly, Grandfather Huang Three leaped down from the earthen wall, creating a large crater, and then immediately pounced on another phantom, continuing his frenzied attack.

Seeing this, Yin Yunze's mood grew even heavier.

Although he had gone mad, Grandfather Huang Three had not completely lost his ability to use the Earth Vein Power.

These four towering earthen walls, combined with the Earth Escape enhanced by the Earth Vein Power, turned this place into a four-sided cage from which Yin Yunze could not escape.

Not only did it cut off Yin Yunze's path, but the earthen wall also became a medium for Grandfather Huang Three to use Earth Escape is a technique for rapid movement) to move quickly.

Even with the Power of Incense Offerings, no matter how fast Yin Yunze climbs, he probably can't outrun Grandfather Huang Three's Earth Escape that allows one to escape through the earth).

However, if one phantom isn't enough, what about a group of phantoms?

What if you manipulated a group of phantoms to simultaneously begin climbing this earthen wall?

Yin Yunze thought about it carefully and realized that this probably wouldn't work either.

After all, this earthen wall is over forty meters high; it's not something you can just climb up!

After you climb up, there's still a 40-meter distance to climb down!

With these two journeys before us, the success rate of this method is really not high.

Moreover, this approach has a most terrible drawback.

That is, in case it reminds Grandfather Huang Three that there's still a lid on top that's not properly closed----

If that happens, Yin Yunze will truly be trapped like a turtle in a jar.

Even if we were to try, Yin Yunze felt that we should at least first reduce the severity of Grandfather Huang Three's condition.

However, the Expel Evil and Dispel Filth were not very effective when the Grandfather Three Temple was attacked before.

Yin Yunze estimated that this time, even with the protective layer of asphalt on Grandfather Huang Three, the effect of Expel Evil and Dispel Filth might be just as poor.

So, Yin Yunze simply took out another bundle of explosives.

However, looking at the bundle of explosives, Yin Yunze couldn't help but wonder if he could just use the explosives to at least blast through a wall, if not collapse it.

Without further ado, while Grandfather Huang Three was distracted by the other phantoms, Yin Yunze ran to a corner and piled up several bundles of explosives.

After attaching a Fire Character Talisman, Yin Yunze ran far away, found cover, and then lit the Fox Fire.

Two breaths later, with a deafening explosion, a gale and dust swept through the entire Four Directions prison.

Before things had completely calmed down, Yin Yunze peeked out to check the situation.

At the explosion site, although smoke and dust still filled the air, faint white light from the outside world could be seen.

However, before Yin Yunze could even feel happy, a huge black figure stood in front of the exit.

"Trying to run? No way! You filthy fox, I can't escape, and neither can you!"

As Grandfather Huang Three roared in anger, the exit that had been painstakingly broken open was rapidly filled with mud.

Seeing this, Yin Yunze understood that this was probably not a way out.

Even if multiple explosion points were set up, setting aside the inherent dangers, the fact that Yin Yunze would likely not have enough speed to escape after the explosions meant that this method was doomed to fail.

However, a single plan does have a low success rate, but what about combining them? Manipulating a phantom to climb an earthen wall, plus setting up explosive points, combining the two should significantly increase the success rate.

However, for true success, it's even more important that Yin Yunze weakens Grandfather Huang Three's condition.

Even with a two-pronged approach, the chances of failure are high, given that Grandfather Huang Three is in poor mental condition but otherwise in good condition.

With that thought in mind, Yin Yunze took out another bundle of explosives.

Yin Yunze affixed a Fire Character Talisman, infused it with the Power of Incense Offerings, and threw it at Grandfather Huang Three was once again struggling with an illusion.

Grandfather Huang Three, who was in poor mental condition, didn't notice the little thing lying at his feet at first, until a ghostly green Fox Fire ignited on the bundle of explosives.

Just as Grandfather Huang Three realized something was wrong, the bundle of gunpowder exploded.

With a violent explosion and a burst of flames, Grandfather Huang Three was immediately blasted several meters away.

Faced with this purely physical attack, even the asphalt layer on Grandfather Huang Three's body could not provide effective protection.

All that could be seen was that Grandfather Huang Three's left arm, along with a section of his chest, had been blown apart by the explosives.

"Ouch! That hurts! My paw! My paw! You filthy fox! I'm going to kill you!"

For a moment, Grandfather Huang Three screamed in agony as he was blown up.

Seeing that it was effective, Yin Yunze immediately took out a bundle of explosives, preparing to strike while the man was still ill and throw a few more bundles of explosives. But then Grandfather Huang Three roared, "Men, all of you, come out here! Attack! Catch this stinking fox!"

With Grandfather Huang Three's angry roar, the entire sky seemed to darken, and even the air became much colder.

But then, one by one, ghosts with sorrowful faces emerged from the ground.

These ghosts included old and young, male and female; the oldest looked to be seventy or eighty, while the youngest was only three or four years old.

A quick glance reveals that the total number is in the hundreds.

Although they were called "minions" by Grandfather Huang Three, these ghosts stared at him with resentful and hateful eyes after they emerged. Clearly, these ghosts were not acting voluntarily, but were forcibly enslaved by Grandfather Huang Three.

Perhaps most of them were transformed from the blood food devoured by Grandfather Huang Three.

Even if we extend the timeframe to a hundred years, that means that Grandfather Huang Three would have to eat a few people every year.

"What are you waiting for! Go find that stinking fox right now!"

With Grandfather Huang Three's command, the resentment in the eyes of these ghosts turned into deep fear. Then, just as Grandfather Huang Three had ordered, they began to chase after Zhao Wan's phantom in the arena.

Looking at this veritable horde of ghosts, Yin Yunze couldn't help but curse, "This is fucking ridiculous! They're practically turning into vengeful spirits! You've turned a perfectly good Shelter into a breeding ground for vengeful spirits—you damned thing—"

As a fellow Land God, Yin Yunze could easily recognize that this was the effect of the "Shelter" skill.

Yin Yunze never expected that the Shelter skill he had never had a chance to use would create such a terrifying scene when used by others.

In the hands of this Grandfather Huang Three, the Shelter that kept ghosts to serve him became the enslavement of ghosts, turning them into ghosts that acted as accomplices to tyrants!

Having committed such heinous acts, Grandfather Huang Three has become what he is today; Yin Yunze can only say he deserves it.

While these vengeful spirits were unable to see through Yin Yunze's Illusion Technique, they didn't need to.

Illusion Technique are ultimately just Illusion Technique; images may exist, but they have no physical form.

These ghostly beings can distinguish whether something is truly alive simply by passing through the illusion.

"This isn't it—"

"This isn't it either—"

"Is this still not ------"

Despite Yin Yunze's best efforts to manipulate illusions and evade the pursuit of a three-digit number of vengeful spirits, he was quickly exposed one by one.

"Found you!"

The true form, hiding in the tree, did not escape either, and was quickly found by the group of flying ghosts.

Looking at Yin Yunze, the female ghost who had found Yin Yunze revealed a terrifying smile, and then pounced on Yin Yunze.

Although he was a pitiful person in life, now that he is working for the rats to harm himself, Yin Yunze is not pitiful at all.

The Expel Character Talisman he had prepared transformed into a beam of white light and struck the female ghost, shattering her instantly.

Then, he quickly attached Fire Character Talisman to a bundle of explosives and threw it towards Grandfather Huang Three.

As someone who suffers from a fear of insufficient firepower, Yin Yunze prepared a three-digit amount of explosives, so he wouldn't be worried about running out in this battle.

However, one can do it once or twice, but not a third time.

This time, Yin Yunze's explosives had no effect.

Perhaps it was because the injury had restored some clarity, or perhaps it was simply a matter of remembering the beating.

Upon seeing the bundle of explosives being thrown over, Grandfather Huang Three immediately used the Earth Vein Power to burrow his massive body underground.
