My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 160 Different
“Stubborn to the end!” Chao Fang suddenly came to his senses, his face immediately turning gloomy.

He unfurled the bright yellow scroll and quickly chanted an incantation. More than ten hordes of ghostly spirits suddenly rushed towards Chen Mu.

The pale mist was dispersed by the wind. The ghostly creature became completely invisible.

Chen Mu was enveloped in a powerful aura, his eyes darting around as he tried his best to observe his surroundings.

boom!
A tremendous force suddenly slammed into his back.

Before he could react, a powerful force came from his left as well.

It was as if a switch had been flipped. Like the immense force of a battering ram, raindrops came from all directions.

"Overestimating yourself!" Chao Fang stared coldly at Chen Mu, who was being knocked around and staggering.

The spirits may appear formless, but they possess immense power.

A physical impact like that would shatter an ordinary person instantly. Even a master of the Armored Soul Realm would die from internal organ rupture if they withstood the impact.

Chao Fang's lips curled up as he leisurely looked ahead.

Now that he's here and has even resorted to the Yin-Yang strategy, the outcome was already predetermined.

This wasn't arrogance on his part, but rather confidence gained from countless battles.

"Even the protective aura of aristocratic families couldn't stop you? Hmph!"

He looked at Chen Mu lazily: "Stop struggling, just surrender and you'll suffer less."

As if drawn by his voice, Chen Mu looked at Chao Fang blankly.

Noticing the smugness on the other person's face, and feeling the impact from all directions, Chen Mu looked down at the overwhelming force covering his entire body, his face full of disbelief: "That's it?"

Aren't ghosts and monsters supposed to be terrifying?
How could I be so powerless?

Is this guy faking me?!
Chen Mu tentatively punched the front of him.

squeak...

A cloud of black smoke suddenly appeared in front of him, accompanied by a piercing shriek. Chen Mu was so frightened that he leaned back several times.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that he had knocked a ghost into invisibility!

"That's it! These are spirits raised by the Yin Soul Strategy. Domesticated ones are never as fierce as wild ones. They must have been weakened!"

"But I am no longer the person I used to be!"

The seven training techniques combined will eventually lead to a change.

Their strength, speed, and formidable courage far exceed what ordinary people can imagine.

Chen Mu immediately grinned and looked at Chao Tianwang.

He tried his best to detect changes in the surrounding air, looking for an opportunity for the ghost to appear.

I hadn't noticed it before, but now that I've calmed down, I've finally realized it. Ghosts can appear out of thin air, but before launching a physical attack, they stir up a little bit of air.

This is the flaw!

"found it!"

He slammed his fists into the air like hammers.

squeak...

A piercing scream shot into the sky.

The ghostly spirits around Chen Mu were immediately forced to appear and disappear as he struck them.

Surrounded by black smoke and covered in a dark aura, Chen Mu exuded a fierce and menacing presence, resembling a peerless demon!
Chao Fang's expression changed drastically.

How is that possible? That's a ghost!
Countless masters of the Armored Soul realm have perished at his hands. How could a single opponent possibly contend with a Yin spirit?
Just then, Chen Mu suddenly reached out and grabbed at the air, pulling out a wisp of black smoke from nothingness.

Immediately following was a barrage of punches.

The black smoke hissed and churned as it was struck, with terrifying images constantly appearing on it.

Chen Mu remained unmoved.

"Five Ghosts Moving Mountains!"

With a low shout in his mind, a vortex of black smoke appeared in front of his fist.

With a thud, his dark iron fist smashed down in front of him.

Suddenly, a sharp screech exploded.

The ghostly creature that Chen Mu had grabbed exploded into pieces. Only specks of fluorescent light remained, drifting in the air.

Chen Mu stared at his hands, momentarily stunned.

In the past, when faced with evil spirits, one could only fight to the death.

But now, things are different.

He slowly raised his head and looked indifferently at Chao Fang.

Chao Fang's pupils involuntarily contracted, and he immediately felt the urge to retreat.

A solo kill of a ghost?! Another master with the same audacity and power as the one who slaughtered a mountain?!
He regretted it; he should have agreed to the alliance earlier.

In addition to the massacre of the mountain, he also has the final say on how the Thousand Machine Orders of Qingshan County are distributed!

But it was too late.

"I miscalculated..." Chao Fang glared fiercely at Chen Mu, who was surrounded by ghosts. He gritted his teeth, turned around, and ran.

Chen Mu's face darkened: "Trying to run away?"

His legs suddenly swelled up.

boom!
The soil beneath my feet exploded!

He was like a huge iron ball, flying up with a roar and crashing down on Chao Fang.

Chao Fang seemed to sense something and suddenly turned around, seeing Chen Mu in mid-air, and was greatly alarmed.

With a fierce wave of his right hand, five or six plumes of black smoke suddenly appeared, crashing into Chen Mu from the side.

puff!
Chen Mu was knocked off balance and landed on the ground.

Just as I was about to get up and continue the chase, the relentless impact struck again.

Chao Fang felt a sense of relief, but dared not pause for a moment, and turned to flee in a disheveled state.

Chen Mu punched away a ghost that was rushing towards him. A Soul-Stabilizing Pillar suddenly appeared in his right hand.

He stepped forward with his left leg, raising the Soul-Stabilizing Pillar behind his back with his right hand. His entire body stretched backward, like a drawn bow.

The ultimate throw firmly locked onto Chao Fang's back.

"middle!"

Woo!
Accompanied by a low, muffled whistle, the Soul-Stabilizing Stake, like an arrow released from a bow, suddenly pierced the air and appeared behind Chao Fang in an instant.

Chao Fang only had time to fling the Yin Soul Strategy behind his back before he was struck by the Soul-Fixing Stake.

Click!

The sound of bones cracking rang out. Chao Fang's heart skipped a beat, and his face turned deathly pale.

He dared not pause for a moment. With a few leaps, he disappeared.

Chen Mu punched and kicked, relentlessly striking the ghostly figures around him. At one point, his punch suddenly missed its mark.

Chen Mu stopped, then sighed, "He still got away."

"Well, I've got the Thousand Machine Token now."

He turned and glanced at the messy riverbank: "We can't stay here."

A dark shadow appeared, enveloped, lifted, and concealed it, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

……

Inside the cook's tent in the Dingyou camp, nine men sat cross-legged on their makeshift beds, looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Dawang, did he run away?" a cook asked cautiously.

"If you wanted to run, you would have run already. There was no need to wait until today." Another person shook their head.

"I'm afraid of getting arrested," Sun Enqi said with a bitter expression.

I warned them to be careful this morning, and they got arrested this afternoon. Am I just a jinx?

"It's not that bad." Zheng Yuan squinted her small eyes and shook her head.

“We live together day and night, and none of us know when he dug the hole.”

"Perhaps he also uses underground passages to enter and exit the camp."

"It's so well hidden, who could possibly catch it?"

Many cooks nodded in agreement.

Zheng Yuan suddenly chuckled: "Maybe they caught the big one and didn't have time to come back."

"All you ever do is eat!" Sun Enqi scolded.

"I'm just thinking positively," Zheng Yuan chuckled.

"The key question is when Dawang will return, and how we can cover it up," Sun Enqi said worriedly.

"What's there to be afraid of?" Zheng Yuan said dismissively.

“We are just ordinary laborers, or even cooks. Even if Da Wang is labeled a deserter, we will only get a few lashes from the military at most due to the collective punishment.”

"We'll chip in and send it over later, just to show our appreciation, and that'll be it."

“Da Wang treated us to so much wild game, and we haven’t had a chance to pay yet. Let’s split the bill, as if Da Wang is paying for it,” Zheng Yuan said cheerfully.

“That won’t do,” one of the cooks retorted. “You’ll eat the most, so you’ll have to pay for double!”

"Yes, yes, yes... Fatty Zheng, you have to get double!"

"Ha ha……"

Outside the tent, Chen Mu couldn't help but smile.

Carrying a roasted pig leg, he lifted the tent flap and went inside.

"I heard someone is offering me money?"

All the cooks turned to look at Chen Mu: "You misheard!"

"Hey……"
