Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 253 The Realm of Ghosts (Part 3)

These sinister creatures have actually appeared in the city's black market!?

Han Yi was somewhat shaken. After discovering the tragic deaths of Liu Fangxi's family a few days ago, he had a vague feeling that danger was lurking everywhere.

At the time, he had reasoned that the deaths of the Liu family members could only be due to one possibility: the existence of ghosts and spirits that had bypassed the surveillance cameras of the supernatural ward. And now, it seemed that they were targeting him as well…

That means his reasoning has been basically verified...

"..."

Han Yi stared at the slender figure in the corner, not daring to act rashly. He knew, of course, that this wasn't the ghost Xiaoqian, and of course, he didn't want to be Ning Caichen. In the darkness, he sensed that the other person was laughing. Although he couldn't see their face clearly, he could feel that they were chuckling eerily in a low, infatuated voice.

After the woman's figure emerged from the corner, she walked slowly, very slowly, towards Han Yi...

It was so slow that Han Yi was almost losing his patience...

puff!

Just then, countless strands of long black hair, resembling steel whips, stood up and suddenly appeared behind Han Yi, piercing his back like a rain of flowers.

Han Yi was prepared. His violent blood flowed through his hand holding the knife, and his right arm quickly expanded. Then, he turned around and parried with his long knife, the sound of which was extremely sharp.

Dang~

This hair was truly like metal, producing a metallic sound the moment it clashed with the long sword.

Clang clang clang!!! One wave after another, a continuous stream of black hair, like a blizzard of pear blossoms, crashed down on Han Yi like a tidal wave.

"This... such force?!"

Han Yi's expression changed, and the long sword in his hand was slightly bent by the impact of the attack.

Click...

It seemed that we had finally reached some street-facing spot, and an irregular, curved pattern appeared on the blade.

The pattern flashed by, and the blade made a "crackling" sound as several cracks reappeared.

Bang!

The next instant, Han Yi flicked his sword, trying to block again. Unexpectedly, under the immense pressure, the sword in his hand shattered into countless fragments like glass, flying everywhere!

"not good!"

He exclaimed in surprise as the black hair in front of him suddenly erupted again, doubling in size from before, enveloping him completely.

Not only that, but along with the shattering of the longsword and the rampage of the black-haired man, the white figure behind him also began to move…

He suddenly felt a weight on his body, and his clothes bulged out in front of his chest...

Bang!

Han Yi's clothes on his chest shattered instantly, revealing a mangled, disfigured face.

'Isn't this the young lady from the security escort agency who died that day?'

He was stunned for a moment, a hint of surprise showing in his eyes.

Swish!

In the brief moment he was lost in thought, a pale hand suddenly reached out and grabbed at his neck.

Hehe~ The woman huddled against his clothes, seemingly laughing triumphantly.

With ghosts attacking from the front and black-haired figures surrounding him from behind, Han Yi's situation suddenly became dangerous.

boom!

Suddenly, a large hand ripped apart the surrounding black hair, grabbed the pale hand, and then grabbed the white figure.

"Finally... caught you... let's see how you run now!"

Amidst the scattered strands of black hair and clothing, a pair of strikingly bright eyes met its own.

The evil creature was startled; even with its confused and chaotic mind, it seemed to sense some kind of danger.

Ah!

A woman's shrill scream rang out, and its body became ethereal, faded, and vanished in the same way as before. "Trying to escape?!"

Han Yi grinned, revealing a set of chilling white teeth. The right arm of the white figure he was gripping turned bright red as his blood and qi gathered, and the muscles that swelled up were as solid as if they were carved from rock.

"Suck it for me!"

With a thought, Han Yi clicked on the notification box that he already knew the answer to.

Ahhh! ! !

The evil creature let out a final scream, its entire shadow suddenly twisting and contorting as if sucked in water by a dragon, swirling and disappearing into Han Yi's palm.

"Whoo~"

Han Yi slowly exhaled a breath of white air. The weather was already a bit cold, and the chill made him feel even more refreshed.

"snort…...."

He glanced at his empty palms, then scanned his surroundings, and let out a cold snort. He had already detected this Yin entity in the system's field of vision, which was equivalent to the Blood Refining stage. Even without using the system, he could kill it with a single blow using his Qianyang Force, but after thinking about it, he still decided to test the Yin entity's abilities.

A weapon made of long hair that can vanish in an instant, unpredictable and ever-changing, even possessing the characteristic of ignoring physical attacks, only being vulnerable to attack for a fleeting moment after its attack...

An ordinary martial artist would indeed find it impossible to defeat...

Perhaps only a martial arts master could contend with him…

However, such a ghost has appeared in the black market!

Thinking of this, Han Yi's expression turned somewhat grim. His previous deductions had been largely confirmed, which meant that it was indeed possible that members of the Valley God Cult were targeting him...

but…...

He touched the thing in his arms and thought of the arrangements he had made long ago, and felt at ease.

Since witnessing the gruesome deaths of the Liu family members that day, he hasn't remained completely inactive...

Peng Peng!

Someone knocked on the door, and Han Yi's heart tightened.

"There's movement inside, is that Master Han?!"

An outer disciple was shouting outside, his voice filled with anxiety.

Han Yi strode over and pushed open the door.

"Someone's coming out!"

As soon as he opened the door, he saw a person at the door take several steps back in fright, his face pale.

Han Yi shook his head, looking at the dozen or so outer disciples standing at the door.

These disciples were all gripping knives, their faces tense, and they were all somewhat disheveled.

"Master Han!"

"It's Master Han!" someone shouted.

One by one, the outer disciples gathered around, their faces filled with surprise, as if a person who had lost their way had suddenly found a lifeline.

"Why are there only a few of you? Where's Zhang Dongping?"

Han Yi raised an eyebrow, glanced at everyone, and his face turned somewhat unpleasant.

In the black market, there were over eighty outer disciples, divided into day and night shifts. Even though only forty were supposed to be there at night, now only a dozen or so remain…

"No, I don't know..."

One of the disciples responded timidly.

"After we ran out, we found that there were only this many people..."

Han Yi didn't speak, but walked to the open space and looked at the black market trading area in front of him. The black market consisted of three parts. The first part was the open space at the gate, which facilitated the entry and exit of convoys for inspection and registration. The resting rooms for inner disciples and some outer disciples were also located here.

After passing through this open space, different goods are categorized and moved into the inner area.

First is the general trading area, where some prohibited weapons, drugs, monster meat, and other items are sold; this is the second part.

Further in, at the deepest point, which is the third section, the "live goods area," is where people are bought and sold...

At first, the noises Han Yi heard came from the live goods area.

Now, the crying, fighting, and screaming have all disappeared. Looking into the open space, it's pitch black, and you can't see anything. Listening closely, there's only silence, an eerie silence, even a desolate one.

"What's going on inside? Do you know?"

Han Yi didn't waste any words and went straight to asking these outer disciples. These outer disciples seemed to have come from inside and knew that they had seen and ordered some things.

Perhaps it was Han Yi's calmness that infected the disciples, and their initial fear was immediately relieved.

"I was sleeping when I heard a loud noise. When I woke up, I saw many people running outside, so I... I followed them..."

The disciple who was trembling with fear at the door was the first to answer, but as he spoke, he lowered his head.

"Never mind, next one."

Han Yi was somewhat speechless, thinking that you didn't see anything and just followed the crowd out. He didn't know if that was lucky or unlucky...

"Master Han... I, I only saw a woman's figure... it was like, it was like..."

Another outer disciple on night duty gave a fearful reply.

"She's like a female ghost!"

A voice said with absolute certainty.

Upon hearing this, Han Yi looked over and saw that this disciple was the one who had knocked on his door at the beginning.

This man seems to be one of Zhang Dongping's subordinates, named Shen San. Han Yi has some recollection of him.

"That damned thing is impossible to hit. I saw a disciple fight back with his own eyes, but the blade just passed right through it and missed..."

Shen San's eyebrows trembled slightly, revealing that he still harbored fear and apprehension within.

"A ghost, it really is a female ghost..."

"what to do?!"

"Run! Run! You have to run!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion erupted around him. "A female ghost? What female ghost?!" Han Yi shouted sharply, immediately silencing everyone present.

He had just finished fighting a malevolent creature, and a trace of ferocity still lingered on his body.

"They're just some evil creatures that fear fire. Fear? What's there to be afraid of! Look!"
