Chapter 428 Dragon and Regret

The captain of the Demon Suppression team is named Tuoba Yun. He wields a huge long-handled axe in one hand. His burly figure gives the impression that he is not very agile, but he suppresses the two most agile of the twelve zodiac ghosts, the Snake and the Monkey, at every turn.

This left both Yu Jingzi and Wang Sunren stunned.

Tuoba Yun's shirt burst open, revealing his incredibly muscular upper body. He wielded a golden, single-handed axe with lightning speed, leaving behind a series of golden afterimages.

Seeing that Yu Jingzi could not dodge Tuoba Yun's attack, Wangsun hurriedly flashed in front of his wife and used his bone spikes to block the blow. However, the power of this blow was enormous. Tuoba Yun did not hold back at all. Wangsun was forced to kneel on one knee by the domineering force, and the ground where his knee touched cracked.

Yu Jingzi watched this scene in horror. Just a moment ago, Tuoba Yun was suppressed by her and her husband like a clumsy bear. How come he became like a cheat code as soon as the enemy reinforcements arrived?

In terms of both speed and strength, the ninth-ranked Yu Jingzi and Wangsun were no match for Tuoba Yun.

Yu Jingzi rescued her husband from Tuoba Yun and retreated several meters away with Wangsun.

"Wife, this guy has become so powerful. You go first, I'm afraid I'll break here if I don't." Wang Sun was supported by Yu Jingzi to avoid falling. Tuoba Yun's attack had shattered his right kneecap, and without supplies, he was having a very difficult time recovering.

Fortunately, there was no pain sensation, otherwise this feeling could have been excruciating.

Yu Jingzi shook her head.

"No, I, Yujingzi, am sticking with you for life. If we die, we die together."

Both the couple saw the threat of death in the sudden outburst of Tuoba Yun.

Tuoba Yun rested the golden, single-handed axe on his shoulder and gently shook the axe, letting the handle tap against the muscles of his shoulder, like a massage.

"Are you two prepared to be killed by me?"

Wang Sun grinned as he looked at Tuoba Yun. He couldn't understand how Tuoba Yun had suddenly become so powerful, even his muscles seemed to be several times larger than when they first clashed.

Could it be?

Wang Sun had a bold guess in his mind: Tuoba Yun must have used something to increase his strength, and this enhancement must be temporary.

He whispered this idea to Yu Jingzi.

Yu Jingzi understood Wangsun's meaning. The two of them were very fast. As long as they cooperated to delay Tuoba Yun for a while longer, Tuoba Yun would definitely reveal a flaw when the strengthening time ended.

As Wang Sun had guessed, Tuoba Yun used a secret technique from Tibet to strengthen himself, enhancing his abilities in a short period of time. Once reinforcements arrived, Tuoba Yun no longer held back; as long as he could kill the "Snake" and the "Monkey," he could alleviate some of the pressure.

Wangsun has not fully recovered yet, so Yujingzi can only keep Tuoba Yun in check.

Tuoba Yun's enhancement period had just begun and could last for a short while. He had to step up his efforts and quickly kill the two ninth-tier corpse demons in front of him, otherwise things would be bad once the time was up.

The prolonged battle had exhausted the human ghost hunters, including Tuoba Yun and the other ninth-tier ghost hunters.

The other ninth-tier ghost hunters, seeing reinforcements arrive, no longer held back, pushing themselves to the limit and displaying their formidable strength to fight two opponents at once.

Chi Miaomiao and the members of the Ninth Squad were supporting the Third Squad [Corpse Shepherd] in the west. Although Yan Luo was missing, the two ninth-tier squads only had one ninth-tier ghost hunter each, and the Ninth Squad also had two seventh-tier members, making the combat strength uneven.

Fortunately, the Ninth Squad's tacit understanding and cooperation with the Third Squad enabled them to defeat the Dragon and Rabbit from the Zodiac Ghosts.

[Rabbit] was the first to clash with the third squad. The reinforcements from the ninth squad made it difficult for [Rabbit] to cope, while the timely support from [Dragon] brought the battle to a standstill, with neither side able to gain the upper hand.

The Rabbit, Snake, and Sheep are the only three female corpse ghosts among the twelve zodiac ghosts. The Rabbit gives the impression of being as petite and cute as a living rabbit, but beneath this pitiful appearance lies the Rabbit's cold-blooded ruthlessness.

The ruthlessness of the rabbit surpasses even that of the dragon.

Their eighth-tier followers had already been killed by Zhong Jiudao and Xue Yunting. The Rabbit and the Dragon had been fighting the Third and Ninth Squads for a long time without a clear winner.

With the addition of [Dragon], [Rabbit] naturally attacked the eighth-tier members of the two ninth-tier squads, and [Dragon] naturally dealt with the ninth-tier captain of the third squad.

[Rabbit] is very fast, but fortunately the eighth-tier team members cooperated well and withstood every wave of [Rabbit]'s attacks.

There are still many ghouls on the wild mountains. The arrival of reinforcements allowed everyone to work freely and without being overly cautious about the ghouls that suddenly appeared in the dark forest.

Xie Huai'an unleashed a powerful burst of cold energy, restricting the movements of [Rabbit], and used the Soul-Hook Lock to firmly hold onto one of [Rabbit]'s hands and one of its feet. The combined attack from Chi Miaomiao and the others left the unprepared [Rabbit] somewhat disheveled.

[Rabbit] gritted her teeth and angrily cursed Xie Huai'an as a filthy bitch.

"Mo Yinlong! What are you doing?! You can't even handle that kind of trash?!"

[Rabbit] shouted at [Dragon], who was locked in combat with a ninth-tier ghost hunter, and even called out [Dragon's] name.

[Dragon] is called Mo Yinlong, and [Rabbit] is not just an ordinary colleague. [Rabbit] is Dragon's younger sister, Mo Yinhui.

Mo Yinlong also had a fiery temper. Hearing his sister speak to him like that, he angrily retorted, "What use are you if you can't even handle a few eighth-tier cultivators?!"

The two started arguing back and forth while fighting.

Mo Yin Hui, her face grim, unleashed her bone spikes, shattering the ice and sweeping away those around her who were about to attack her.

After defeating Chi Miaomiao and the others, Mo Yin Hui launched her bone spikes at Mo Yin Long. Mo Yin Long narrowly dodged the third squad leader's broadsword, but was then backstabbed by his own sister. The bone spikes pierced his flesh, and if he hadn't dodged quickly, he would have been riddled with holes.

Mo Yinlong roared at his sister, "Are you fucking crazy?! I'm your own brother!!!"

Mo Yin Hui swung her fist at Mo Yin Long, her eyes bloodshot, and gritted her teeth as she said, "I don't care about any of that! It's better if you're dead! From the start of the mission to its end, several months passed, and you didn't even call me once!"

"Since you came back for the Chinese New Year, you haven't even said a few words to me. Do you even care about me?!"

"What do you take me for?!"

Mo Yin Hui's hysterical questioning left Mo Yin Long somewhat dazed.

Mo Yinlong calculated that he was twenty-seven years old this year, and his sister was twenty-six. He couldn't remember how many years he had been a corpse demon.

All he remembered was that his father's business failed and his enemies came to their door. The enemies tried to rape their mother, and his father fought back desperately. He and his younger sister escaped by hiding in the attic, but the enemies' fire clearly had no intention of letting anyone go.
