The harsh, strange laughter echoed through the courtyard, making everyone's ears buzz!
Some of the weaker individuals were even directly knocked unconscious by the sound!
Master Huihai's expression was solemn as he vigilantly looked towards the entrance.
In the mourning hall, the Ye Family women screamed, and the house servants and guards no longer dared to protect the front of the hall, scattering and fleeing!
Only two guard captains, one tall and one short, remained barely composed, but their faces were pale and their legs trembled!
Creak!
The main gate of the Ye Family slowly opened.
But just moments ago, the sounds of traffic on the main street could be heard; now, with the main gate open, there was only Chaos outside, completely empty!
Ye Feng looked up in horror, scanning his surroundings, and found that the sky above the Ye Family was covered in the same gray mist, as if the entire Ye Family was enveloped.
"Prodigy, how dare you be so arrogant!"
Just then, Master Huihai roared, leaped out, and arrived in the courtyard, looking around with wide, angry eyes!
"Jie jie jie!"
Ghostly cries continuously rang out, but they seemed to come from all directions, making it impossible to pinpoint their source.
Master Huihai's face was grim; he didn't know where the enemy was, so how could he fight?
Seeing Master Huihai's tense demeanor, Ye Feng's heart sank further, and he grasped at the last glimmer of hope, looking at the System interface in his mind, but upon seeing it, his heart grew cold.
The System interface was extremely simple.
【"Martial arts collected: Shaolin Luohan Fist (beginner)"】
【"Experience Points: 0"】
There were only these two lines, and then nothing!
Although Ye Feng could guess that he could use Experience Points to directly upgrade collected Martial arts, what good was that?
He didn't even have 1 Experience Point!
Was he supposed to upgrade with his head?
Ye Feng immediately felt despair.
Could it be that I, a dignified Transmigrator, possessing an invincible Golden Finger like the System, am actually going to die like this?
Just as Ye Feng was cursing fate for playing with his emotions, a sudden change occurred in the courtyard!
A purplish-black shadow suddenly appeared behind Master Huihai!
Before he could even see what the shadow was, Ye Feng instinctively cried out.
"Great Master, be careful! Behind you!"
Master Huihai was greatly alarmed!
He hadn't sensed the danger behind him at all!
It was too late to turn around and respond!
Master Huihai made a decisive move, joining two fingers and pointing them at his glabella!
Swish!
A golden light bloomed at Master Huihai's fingertips, and then, in the blink of an eye, it spread all over his body!
The golden light was brilliant!
At this moment, Master Huihai was like a dazzling golden Buddha statue!
Clang!
A harsh metallic clang rang out, and Master Huihai's body swayed slightly, but he was completely unharmed!
It was only at this moment that Ye Feng clearly saw the appearance of the purplish-black shadow, and he was struck with horror.
It was a child, about 1.2 meters tall, but its entire skin was purplish-black, its face was hideous and twisted, and its eyeballs protruded from its sockets by at least an inch!
Its entire body was riddled with damage, oozing purplish-black pus and emitting a foul stench!
The one who had just attacked Master Huihai was none other than the Ghost Child's sharp claws; those claws had only three fingers, but they were the size of a palm fan, and their tips were like blades, shimmering with cold light.
Ye Feng had no doubt that a single swipe of those claws would absolutely crush him into four pieces!
But just now, when the Ghost Child's claw struck, it didn't even scratch Master Huihai's skin, as if Master Huihai had truly become cast in gold!
A subtle look of bewilderment appeared on the Ghost Child's twisted face, followed by a sinister grin.
"Indestructible Divine Skill? You stinking monk!"
The Ghost Child's voice was incredibly shrill, like the sound of a blade scraping on glass, making anyone who heard it feel intensely irritated.
Master Huihai roared, his golden light surged, and he spun around, punching towards the Ghost Child's head!
Amidst the Ghost Child's shriek, it didn't retreat but instead advanced, crashing fiercely into Master Huihai's embrace!
Master Huihai was also not vague; he clasped the Ghost Child's neck with one hand, and with the other hand clenched into a fist, he frantically slammed punch after punch onto the Ghost Child's head!
In an instant, golden light burst forth, and purplish-black pus splattered all over the ground!
Both of them were like ferocious beasts, without the imagined Divine Ability or Spell, and without the slightest retreat, just punching each other with raw power!
This scene left Ye Feng dumbfounded!
This… is this transcendent?
These are barbarians, aren't they?
Just as Ye Feng was doubting life, the Ghost Child finally managed to tear through Master Huihai's golden body on his chest, leaving a few bloody marks, and broke free from Master Huihai's control, flashing back more than ten meters.
Master Huihai's face showed disappointment, and he sighed.
"Alas, this old monk's Great Displacement Movement Skill is just one step away from mastery; if not for that, how could I let you escape?"
The Ghost Child glared at Master Huihai with a ferocious and venomous look, its face filled with madness and bloodlust.
At this moment, it was no longer standing on its feet but was on all fours, like a wild beast, roaring.
"You old bald donkey, I want your eyes, give me your eyes!"
Master Huihai snorted coldly, extended his hand, and took a string of prayer beads from his neck, holding them in his hand.
"Want my eyes? Come and get them yourself!"
With that, Master Huihai waved his large hand, tossing the prayer beads into the air, and shouted loudly!
"Chì!"
"Om, Mani, Padme, Hum!"
"Slay the demon! Go!"
As the Six-Syllable Mantra was uttered, the golden light on Master Huihai's body surged, so blinding that Ye Feng had to squint his eyes!
In the blur, he only saw Master Huihai pointing a finger at the Ghost Child, and the prayer beads smashed down on its head.
The Ghost Child's face changed drastically, but it didn't sit idly by; instead, it tore off an eyeball dangling from its eye socket and swallowed it directly into its mouth, then, at the very moment the prayer beads arrived, it suddenly opened its mouth and spat!
Boom!
With a loud bang, the entire Ye Family vibrated violently!
Like a thunderbolt exploding by their ears, the Ye Family women and servants all rolled their eyes and fainted!
Only the strong and robust guards merely swayed with pale faces, barely managing not to fall to the ground.
And Ye Feng, who was closest, had also lost consciousness at this moment.
A moment later, a System voice rang out, instantly waking Ye Feng!
"Ding! System notification: Slay the ferocious creature to gain Experience Points. Wishing you a pleasant Martial arts journey!"
Ye Feng suddenly startled awake, then immediately looked towards the courtyard.
The courtyard was a mess, the ground seemingly scraped away by a foot!
In the main hall and mourning hall behind him, the Ye Family members lay scattered, and even the two guard captains had fainted.
Ye Feng looked around blankly, finally confirming that besides himself, the only ones still conscious were the two in the courtyard.
Master Huihai, on the left, was leaning against the wall, his head bowed, with a large hole through his chest and abdomen, his internal organs long gone, only a faint breath remaining.
And the Ghost Child, on the right, had its lower body completely gone, only a small part of its torso, dragging half an arm and most of its head, but it was still alive!
Yes, alive, and showing no signs of being finished!
"Jie jie jie, you lost! Your eyes are mine!"
The Ghost Child grinned sinisterly, inching its way towards Master Huihai by the wall with its half-arm.
The Ghost Child was not human; even with its body broken, it would not die!
But Master Huihai was different; even a Buddhist eminent monk could not escape his Physical Body, and the Indestructible Divine Skill did not block the Ghost Child's ultimate move.
By the wall, Master Huihai laboriously raised his head, his eyes blurry as he glanced at the Ghost Child, then let out a bitter laugh.
He no longer had the strength to turn his head, so he could only open his mouth and murmur silently.
"Brother Ye, I'm sorry, you can only join me in…"
Just then, a figure suddenly rushed out from the front of the main hall!
Pfft!
Under the Ghost Child's disbelieving gaze, Ye Feng's eyes were fierce, his teeth clenched tightly, and the waist saber in his hand fiercely pierced through the Ghost Child's head, pinning it to the ground!
Purplish-black foul pus burst out, sticking to Ye Feng's sleeve, corroding it with a sizzling sound.
But Ye Feng did not retreat a single step!
He pulled out the waist saber, aimed at the Ghost Child's neck, and stabbed again!
Then it was the heart… one stab after another!
Perhaps because the Ghost Child was severely injured, even crawling was somewhat difficult and slow, making it even less able to maintain the toughness of its Physical Body.
Its head and body, which had only suffered minor skin damage after being relentlessly pounded by Master Huihai's golden fists over a hundred times, now resembled a tattered rag doll; although piercing it was somewhat difficult, Ye Feng put all his strength into each stab.
In a short while, the Ghost Child was almost chopped into mincemeat by Ye Feng!
【"Congratulations! You have slain a Ghost-level ferocious creature and gained 382 Experience Points!"】
Ye Feng paused for a moment, then stopped.
Since the System gave a kill notification, that means the Ghost Child is really dead, right?
