"Stop hiding, you can't escape our grasp."
"Nonsense! Aren't you all dead too!" The earthen-yellow ghost known as Huang San retorted sharply, its spirit body fluctuating violently with rage, its earthen-yellow light flickering uncertainly.
"And I remember saying it many times, my name is Huang Ya! Did you all become mentally disabled after you died? You can't even remember your own names?"
The opposing ghosts were instantly enraged, their resentment surging, and a chilling wind suddenly arose:
"You've gotten bolder in just a few days. Hand over your sister, and maybe we can let your remnant soul linger on for a few more days."
"Don't even think about it!" The light emanating from Huang Ya suddenly condensed, though dim, it burst forth with a resolute determination to destroy everything in its path.
"You'll only get away with harming my sister if I'm completely obliterated!"
"Hmph, courting death!" Several powerful ghosts around them simultaneously exuded a chilling killing intent as they slowly approached.
"Brother..." The girl hiding in the shadows behind him was about to speak when Huang Ya shoved her back into the shadows:
"Go from the back, quick! I'll buy you some time."
Who would have thought that Huang Ya's actions would actually impress the leader of the ghosts on the other side:
"Huang Ya, Huang Ya, if you had done this earlier, your Huang family wouldn't have fallen to this state today."
"You still want to protect your sister? Too late! I've blocked off your back too, you have nowhere to go today!"
The other person's words were like poisonous thorns, piercing deep into Huang Ya's memory.
Before Kangcheng was established, the Huang family was the most famous wealthy family in the area, controlling a region rich in underground mineral veins and possessing several rare and priceless mineral veins.
Even if Huang Ya does nothing and lives off his family's wealth, the wealth accumulated by the Huang family is enough for him to squander for ten lifetimes.
Unfortunately, the upheaval in Kangcheng was like a collapsing sky, and the Huang family was the first to bear the brunt.
The construction of a great city in Zhongzhou was a good thing, but then strange events began to occur frequently. Ominous whispers came from the depths of the mine, and family members either went mad or died, or fled to distant lands.
The increasingly bizarre situation has left even the authorities unable to find a cause, turning Kangcheng into a ghost town.
The once-powerful Huang family fell apart in an instant.
Huang Ya looked at the leader of the ghosts, his voice trembling with extreme anger, but he still pretended to be nonchalant and mocked, "Su Peng! Stop pretending here. You haven't forgotten how you died, have you?"
"You!" Su Peng's mental fluctuations were like a thunderclap, this was the source of his eternal resentment and unwillingness to accept defeat!
It was because Huang Ya ultimately perished along with them that they all ended up in this wretched, ghostly state.
It's fair to say that Huang Ya is the culprit behind all of this!
He was originally a genius awakener whom 'Kangzhen' relied on, possessing the rare ability to traverse ley lines.
His ability not only allows him to excavate quickly, but he can even blend into the earth, making him the perfect candidate for mining minerals in this endless rain – a truly divine skill!
In just one year, Su Peng created wealth for the entire Kang Town that was equivalent to the Huang family's wealth over the past ten years!
After joining the Huang family, he doubled the Huang family's annual output value.
Su Peng was even more convinced that he was the most indispensable pillar of the Huang family!
All the changes occurred the moment Kangzhen was chosen to become the thirteenth city, Kangcheng.
Until Huang Yana's fatal blow... shattered his proud superpower, his bright future, and his physical body into dust!
"It was you! You ruined everything! Huang Ya! You madman!" Su Peng's ghost swelled and twisted with rage.
"Cowards! We could have won!" Huang Ya shouted angrily.
The two sides glared at each other, their tempers rising, ready to settle both old and new grudges at this moment.
In the shadows to the side.
Li Yu perfectly concealed his aura, observing coldly from the sidelines, secretly marveling at his abilities.
Most of the ghosts he had seen were unconscious, so it was rare to see so many ghosts with clear consciousness, and even those who retained strong feelings of hatred from their previous lives, gathered in one place.
Their soul solidification, energy fluctuations, and consciousness intensity all significantly surpassed Luo Fei's, even vaguely exhibiting a "level" division similar to that of awakened beings.
The ghosts in this eerie area are far more complex than Li Yu had imagined.
"Capture his sister! I want to extinguish the last bloodline of the Huang family in despair! I want the Huang family to pay the price!" Su Peng roared with deep-seated resentment.
With a wave of his hand, several powerful ghosts of various shapes shot out from behind him like arrows, bypassing Huang Ya and heading straight for the girl in the shadows.
"You bunch of trash?"
Huang Ya snorted coldly, and his soul suddenly expanded, the earthy yellow light transforming into a tangible fist shadow.
"Boom—!" The air exploded as the fist passed by.
With a single strike, Huang Ya smashed all the charging ghosts to pieces.
Several ghosts exploded instantly like porcelain, bursting into a sky full of white mist!
The scattered souls screamed as they reformed. Although Huang Ya's attack was not enough to completely erase them, the intense pain at the soul level still temporarily rendered them unable to fight.
"Boss! Something's wrong with this kid! His soul is ridiculously strong!" exclaimed a ghost who had narrowly escaped.
Su Peng stared intently at Huang Ya, his mind churning with turmoil.
Even in his lifetime, Huang Ya's strength was terrifying.
Unexpectedly, even after death, Huang Ya's soul, which turned into a ghost due to his obsession, was so resilient and powerful!
With Huang Ya's combat talent, even if the Huang family gave up everything and sold off all their mineral resources at a bargain price, he could still lead the Huang family to another peak.
That's why Huang Yacai has the trump card to take them all down with him.
This made Su Peng feel a sense of oppression. He was not as good as Huang Ya in life, so was he not as good as Huang Ya after becoming a ghost?
If Huang Yazhi hadn't been absent, the Huang family would never have declined!
Moreover, Huang Ya also has a younger sister who possesses earth-type abilities just like Su Peng, another genius who could build a row of small houses with a wave of her hand when she was a child.
Su Peng knew then that once the Huang siblings grew up, he would be the first one abandoned by the Huang family.
Su Peng was not convinced. With his ability to work the earth's veins, even if he didn't use it for mining, he would definitely be one of the best among the young people in the Huang family.
Thinking back to this, Su Peng suddenly let out a self-deprecating bitter laugh:
"You're already dead, why are you thinking so much?"
When he looked up again, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes as he looked behind Huang Ya:
"Since we're all dead, why is she still alive?!"
Su Peng was filled with murderous intent, his remaining rationality seemingly completely devoured by malice, leaving only his cold, scarlet eyes.
He issued a chilling command to the surrounding ghosts:
"Attack together!"
The surrounding ghosts rushed towards Huang Ya again, while Su Peng himself transformed into a gust of yin wind, looking for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
The ghostly screams tore through the rainy night!
