An Old Acquaintance Appears
“Coal? Our causality is coal?!” Seeing that surging wave made up of tens of thousands of chunks of coal, Jian Changsheng felt like he was still half-asleep. He violently pinched himself, and only after feeling the pain did he put on an expression like he had seen a ghost.
“We are just walking down the street, and coal comes crashing toward us? Does this Ancient Vault of the Ghost Path have any logic at all??”
“Hurry, let’s go!”
Chen Ling vaguely guessed that the coal was coming for himself, Jian Changsheng, and Chu Muyun.
Anything related to coal could only be tied to the destruction of Aurora City. Of the five people present, three were somewhat involved in the “coal” incident and tainted by its causality. That was why so much coal was drawn toward them.
Regardless, it was best not to come into contact with this coal.
However, just as the five of them turned around to avoid the wave of coal, the street behind them suddenly began to split open from far away!
An inexplicable fissure tore through the earth in this Ghost City. The devouring pitch-black cracks resembled black snakes slithering across the surface. Whether by coincidence or inevitability, they were approaching in this direction in a straight line!
“That’s my ‘Causality’!” Sun Bumian answered, gritting his teeth.
With the wave of coal in front and the earth-splitting black snakes behind, all avenues of retreat for the five of them were completely sealed off.
Chen Ling furrowed his brows, locking his gaze on the surging wave of coal. Compared to those mysterious fissures in the earth, the coal on this side obviously seemed easier to deal with… At least on the surface, there appeared to be nothing special about them.
But just as Chen Ling was about to make his move, a figure draped in a white robe instantly flickered into the air above the five of them!!
The pale coat fluttered without any wind.
A bright cinnabar mark dotted his forehead.
Those tightly shut eyes looked down at the emptiness “sandwiched” by the coal wave and the earth-splitting black snakes. The crimson hue at the corners of his eyes resembled burning flames, scorching hot and dangerous.
“So… you were hiding here.”
The Special Envoy of the Ancient Vault of the Ghost Path, [Chikou].
The moment Chikou’s aura appeared, the hearts of Chen Ling and the others violently skipped a beat. Before they could react, in the very next second, a monstrous pillar of fire that pierced the heavens directly swallowed a ten-mile radius of the Ghost City!
BOOM—!!!
Under a destructive force as exaggerated as a nuclear explosion, billowing thick smoke surged into the clouds like a mushroom. The nearby buildings of the Ghost City were completely leveled by this strike. The coal river that was originally surging forward was instantly transformed into a roaring dragon of flames, sweeping and weaving through the burning ruins all over the ground…
Chikou had absolutely no intention of holding back. The moment he struck, it was with the full power of a Rank 8!
Under this attack, Chen Ling relied on the physical constitution of the Calamity of Mockery to forcibly endure the brunt of the damage, his body covered in shocking scorch marks. While the others didn’t take the impact head-on, each was in a more miserable state than the last… More than half of Jian Changsheng’s body was completely carbonized, Sun Bumian had one arm blown off, and Chu Muyun was directly charred black, barely clinging to his last breath!
Perhaps due to the thermal insulation of his bandages, only Jiang Xiaohua wasn’t injured much in this explosion.
Sun Bumian, whose body was still burning with residual fire, looked up at Chikou in mid-air and the phantom of a ghost “imprisoned” behind him by the Ghost Path chains. His pupils contracted slightly!
“Path of the Artisan, [Fire Melting Pellet] path… Damn it! It’s Sun Simiao! He’s controlling Sun Simiao’s ghost!”
In just a single encounter, three of the five members in Chen Ling’s group were severely injured, and one of them was on the verge of death. Seeing this, Chen Ling did not hesitate to shout:
“—[Cut]!!”
As Chen Ling’s domain expanded, everything in the surroundings began to flow backward.
The shattered buildings began to reshape, the surging fire dragon turned back into coal, and the thick smoke along with the raging flames returned to Chikou’s palm. The charred blackness on Jian Changsheng, Sun Bumian, and Chu Muyun visibly receded…
“So… you were hiding here,” Chikou’s voice echoed from above once again.
This time,
Chen Ling was already prepared in advance.
As the gigantic fire god pillar that pierced the heavens crashed down, Chen Ling’s body directly transformed into a surging red cloud, soaring into the sky from beside the four of them and crashing head-on into the pillar of fire!!
BANG—!!!
In his Calamity Transformation state, Chen Ling possessed the physical combat power of a Rank 8. Those surging red clouds forcefully blocked Chikou’s fire god pillar. Billowing waves of fire exploded in mid-air, sweeping across the sky of the Ancient Vault of the Ghost Path!
“What did I tell you! With our current strength, entering the Ancient Vault of the Ghost Path is too dangerous!!”
With scorching waves of air churning beneath the red clouds, Sun Bumian couldn’t help but shout.
Although Chen Ling had used [Cut] to replay everything, the remaining memories of what had just happened lingered in the minds of the others, especially Chu Muyun. If Chen Ling hadn’t activated his ability, he probably would have been the first to die in the Ancient Vault of the Ghost Path.
Chu Muyun looked up at the figure of the red cloud taking on the fire god single-handedly, a hint of complexity flashing through his eyes…
The rookie he had personally recruited into the Dusk Society back then had already grown into a towering tree capable of sheltering everyone.
With Chen Ling taking the initiative to strike, Jiang Xiaohua’s aura concealment ability completely failed. Their auras were exposed across the entire Ancient Vault of the Ghost Path, and four figures scattered in different corners of the ancient vault began converging toward this direction!
“Calamity of Mockery?” Sensing the world-ending aura within the red cloud, Chikou’s expression changed.
“You killed Kongwang, and you actually dared to come to the Ancient Vault of the Ghost Path?!”
“I’m here.” Chen Ling’s face emerged from the red cloud. “What can you do about it?”
Chikou’s gaze narrowed. The chains locking onto Sun Simiao’s ghost rattled once again. Flames frantically surged around him, and a miniature sun gradually began to condense out of the void!
“Let’s go! If we don’t leave now, we’ll be surrounded by them!” Sun Bumian immediately spoke up.
Taking advantage of Chikou being stalled by Chen Ling, Jian Changsheng, Sun Bumian, Jiang Xiaohua, and Chu Muyun quickly changed direction and sprinted into the distance. Seemingly feeling that their speed was too slow, Sun Bumian flicked his wrist, and a burning Awakened Lion materialized directly, swallowing all of their figures in one gulp!
The next second,
A domain enveloped the battlefield!
The burning Awakened Lion suddenly seemed to lose its power and dissipated into thin air. The four figures stumbled and crashed to the ground. Losing his center of gravity, the unlucky Jian Changsheng almost smashed his head into a broken steel rebar beside him. If he hadn’t dodged with quick reflexes, he probably would have ended up with another wound out of nowhere.
“Diamonds! What are you doing!!” Jian Changsheng turned his head and cursed.
“It’s not me!!” Sun Bumian stared dead ahead.
“It’s… him.”
Another figure, similarly draped in a pale coat, stepped across the air from beneath the River Styx.
Pitch-black ghost-controlling chains swayed silently.
Behind him,
A ghost wearing an Enforcer’s trench coat floated without making a sound.
The moment they saw that figure, the pupils of both Jian Changsheng and Chen Ling contracted simultaneously!
“He… he is…”
The former Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Aurora Domain Enforcers…
Path of the Soldier, [Ceasefire] path,
Tan Xin.
