"Get out of the way."
Just as Xu Qing and the others were anxiously traversing the ruins of the church, a deep sound suddenly rose from beneath their feet.
The three reacted almost instinctively, their figures flashing as they leaped in different directions.
Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar ripped through the night sky, and the bottom of the church ruins seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, with dust and rubble erupting like a volcanic eruption.
With the release of this power, two figures shot out from the depths of the ground like arrows, cutting through the dust and creating gusts of wind.
Xu Qing and the others reacted quickly, summoning a protective shield in front of them.
The stone slabs and bricks, propelled by immense force, rained down on the protective shield, creating a dense, crackling sound.
Thick dust filled the air, which, when illuminated by the colorful lights around the park, formed a hazy and dreamlike mist, enveloping the ruins in an atmosphere that was both mysterious and dangerous.
As time passed, the gale gradually subsided, and the dust slowly settled, revealing the two figures standing on the ruins.
One of them is naturally the ghost bride.
However, her clothes were tattered, her face was pale, and her hairpins were scattered everywhere. Her long hair was disheveled and fell over her shoulders, and her right arm was severed at the base.
Large amounts of blood were flowing from the severed wound, and the ghost bride's eyes were filled with venomous resentment as she stared intently ahead.
And standing opposite her was naturally Xiao Jin.
However, compared to the ghost bride's disheveled state, Xiao Jin's was no less pitiful.
Since Xiao Xin's death, Xiao Jin has never worn a mask on her face again, and her delicate face is no longer hidden.
At this moment, the moonlight was thin and the night was as dark as ink, and her face appeared particularly cold and aloof against the backdrop of the surrounding lights.
A striking red mark snaked down from the corner of her mouth, and a few strands of hair, unwilling to be restrained, broke free from her temples and danced lightly in the wind, adding a touch of messy beauty.
The hands that gripped the sharp blade had worn black gloves that were now mottled, and her pale knuckles were faintly visible through the tears. The hem of her coat was also torn.
Xiao Jin has a resolute figure, but the injuries on her body add to her vulnerability.
However, this sense of vulnerability was quickly shattered by her actions.
On the tip of Xiao Jin's knife, a lifeless ghost infant was clearly visible.
"Whoosh!"
A crisp sound broke the silence of the night; Xiao Jin's movements were swift and decisive.
She suddenly flicked her knife, and the ghost infant, like a kite with a broken string, broke off the knife and was violently thrown aside.
He rolled around on the ground several times in front of the ghost bride, covered in dust, and finally collapsed weakly on the cold ground, no longer the ferocious and terrifying figure he once was.
“You…” The ghost bride couldn’t help but bare her teeth.
"So what about me?" Xiao Jin held a long sword and took a step forward.
Upon seeing this, the ghost bride involuntarily retreated, her eyes filled with resentment, as well as a trace of fear and apprehension.
Even if I'm not afraid, it doesn't matter!
When they were locked in the church, they felt somewhat uncomfortable, but it was mostly out of anger and embarrassment at being tricked.
At the time, the other party was alone, and no one respected her.
Yet this human, whom none of the ghosts took seriously, first instantly eliminated one of their companions, and then single-handedly fought against all four of them, holding his own throughout.
In just a short while, the male couple, the big guy, and the ghost baby all died at the hands of this human.
If the male couple hadn't tried to kill Xiao Jin by self-destructing, they would have lost more than just an arm.
Thinking of this, the ghost bride couldn't help but grit her teeth, a trace of resentment flashing in her eyes.
How could they not kill her even after all that!
Seeing the ghost bride clearly retreat, a smile flashed across Xiao Jin's eyes.
To be honest, although only the Ghost Bride was left on the vengeful ghost's side, all the clones she summoned were wiped out.
When Xiao Jin was fighting, he only had two clones with him, and one was always hidden in the shadows as a backup plan.
It must be thanks to this backup plan.
Xiao Jin didn't know that the vengeful ghost had the ability to self-destruct. The male couple probably hated her to the core. When she self-destructed, her hidden clone protected her, but ended up being blown to ashes.
At the time, the burly ghost was only seriously injured, its limbs were cut into human pigs by Xiao Jin and it lost its ability to attack, but what really sent it to its death was this self-destruction.
Xiao Jin's expression suddenly turned cold as she forced herself to suppress the itching in her throat.
"Now you're all alone. Do you still want to resist?"
"The Lord of Paradise... the Lord of Paradise will not let you go," the ghost bride said viciously.
Xiao Jin twirled her knife: "Then let Him come find me! Maybe His fate will be the same as yours!"
"Ha~ How arrogant." The ghost bride said sarcastically, "You have no idea how terrifying He is."
As she spoke, the ghost bride seemed to have thought of something. She looked at the black smoke rising around the amusement park, and the venomous resentment in her eyes almost materialized.
"Soon, very soon~" The ghost bride chuckled maniacally, "He will come to find you soon."
Xiao Jin's lips curled into a sarcastic smile. Then, with a slight movement of his feet, he teleported directly to the face of the ghost bride, and with a flick of his wrist, he severed her head.
[Ding—Your title skill has been activated...]
Thump! The body crashed heavily into the pool of blood, its head rolling away.
A golden pillar of light slowly rose in front of Xiao Jin. She skillfully put the treasure chest in the pillar into her backpack, followed by the one containing the ghost infant.
Xiao Jin had five such treasure chests in his backpack. If he hadn't been trying to rescue the treasure chests in the church, he wouldn't have been buried in the ruins.
Meanwhile, players who witnessed this scene were internally screaming "Holy crap!"
She made threats to the vengeful ghosts and even killed several powerful ghosts single-handedly. It's said that tonight's 'show' was her idea. Those cowards who didn't come are really missing out on a great show.
Who's the big shot who came to this instance? Could it be someone on the leaderboard?
The players secretly watched Xiao Jin with excited expressions, but dared not approach because of Xiao Jin's strength.
In a flash, someone with a quick wit thought of Xu Qing and the others, because they were the ones who initially made the contact for the church project, and perhaps these people knew the big boss's identity.
However, it is too early to talk about victory. The big demon inside the church has been eliminated, but the little demons outside are still there.
Everyone quickly composed themselves and turned to stare intently at the little devils around them, but the result surprised the players.
Instead of attacking the players as they had expected, the ghosts stood on the perimeter, their eyes darting around and their bodies trembling.
Seeing the gazes of the other players, he was caught in a dilemma.
Especially when Xiao Jin walked down from the ruins step by step, the tip of his knife drawing a series of sparks on the ground.
The scene from the ghost bride just now is repeated.
All the little devils took a step back in unison, some even trembling and shaking all over, not knowing which one was the man-eating demon.
