Ye Fei shook his head at the terrified driver, his tone somewhat urgent, "Who saved you isn't important, what's important is that you've escaped a jie. Run!"

The driver nodded, then turned back to the car and drove away quickly.

At that moment, Ye Fei turned around to see Xie Xiaofeng using vines to pull the fierce ghost that hung under the bridge up. Looking at the ghost's horrifying appearance, Ye Fei couldn't help but shiver inside.

It seemed the fierce ghost sensed Ye Fei's fear and, with a loathsome and ferocious gaze, said to Ye Fei, "Let me go, or you'll regret it!"

"Pah!" Ye Fei suddenly glared with wide eyes and spat out a retort. After brewing his emotions, he walked up to the fierce ghost and said, "The reason I'm trembling is that I find you ugly, not because I'm afraid of a ghost!"

Xie Xiaofeng couldn't help but laugh, giving Ye Fei a thumbs-up. After two laughs, his face suddenly turned into a scowl, and he raised his hand to land a heavy slap on the fierce ghost's right cheek, shouting angrily, "Dead ghost, where did you take all those people?"

"Boy, you dare to hit me!" The fierce ghost opened its eyes wide and glared at Xie Xiaofeng, its eyeballs popping out of their sockets.

Ye Fei was stunned by the sight, while Xie Xiaofeng frowned tightly.

"Do you.. find this amusing!" Xie Xiaofeng yelled furiously, "Do you know what I do? I am an Onmyoji, specializing in capturing ghosts and exorcising demons! Do you think you can scare me with this?"

Having said that, Xie Xiaofeng reached out and plucked out the fierce ghost's right eye, then gathered Five Elements Magic in his palm and transformed it into a ball of fire, burning away the ghost's eyeball.

"My eyeball!" the fierce ghost wailed. The loss of its eye, leaving only the white, made Ye Fei feel the ghost's terrifying aura suddenly increase.

"Tell me where you took those missing men? Otherwise, you're going to lose more than just an eyeball!" Xie Xiaofeng grinned grimly.

Suddenly, the fierce ghost's face crumpled and tears streamed down his face the next second. He cried and pleaded, "Spare me, please? I really don't know anything!"

"Hmph!" scoffed Xie Xiaofeng, not the least bit moved, "Did you think this would make me sympathize with you?"

As he finished speaking, Xie Xiaofeng's right hand now held a saw made out of Five Elements Magic. Then, with his left hand firmly grasping the fierce ghost's right wrist, he began to saw its arm with the iron blade in his right hand.

"Ooh! Ah!"

The fierce ghost let out a shrill, piercing scream as dozens of vines wrapped around its body, leaving no room for movement.

After a few strokes, Xie Xiaofeng paused and looked coldly at the fierce ghost, asking, "Will you talk or not?"

"I really don't know!" the fierce ghost sobbed with a hoarse voice.

"Hmph," Xie Xiaofeng's smile turned into a cold curve. He looked exceptionally heartless, instilling fear in the ghost, "Let's see how long you can keep this up."

Unbeknownst to all, a ball of fire had appeared in Xie Xiaofeng's left palm. He lifted his left hand, igniting the fierce ghost's chest with the fire.

He then hung the saw on the fierce ghost's neck and smirked, "Didn't you turn so many people into headless ghosts? Now, I want you to taste what it's like to be a headless ghost."

He began to slowly saw the fierce ghost's head with the saw, while continuously feeding Mana into the fire burning on its chest, making the fire burn brighter.

"Ah! Spare me!" the fierce ghost wailed as both the excruciating pain from the saw and the searing burn from the flames pierced through its being. Its hoarse voice trembled in the cold wind, causing Ye Fei, who was standing by, to shudder all over.

"Are you going to talk or not?" Xie Xiaofeng asked, increasing the speed of the saw in his right hand.

"I'll talk, I'll talk!" the ferocious ghost gasped, "Stop sawing, stop sawing!"

Xie Xiaofeng stopped his hand.

"I can tell you, but you have to retract these vines from my body first," the ferocious ghost said with an extremely pained expression on his face.

The ferocious ghost thought Xie Xiaofeng would agree and then take advantage of the moment the vines were loosened to escape swiftly.

"Hmph, alright!" Xie Xiaofeng said, sneering with narrowed eyes. However, what followed was not the retraction of the vines wrapped around the ferocious ghost. Instead, Xie Xiaofeng's right hand suddenly exerted more force, accelerating the sawing of the ferocious ghost, and the small fire slowly burning in the chest of the ferocious ghost turned into a raging inferno. "Wishful thinking. Do you think everyone has the same low intelligence as you?"

"Ah!" The ferocious ghost's scream rose another level, shrill like the squeal of a pig being slaughtered. After a bout of screaming and howling, he cried out desperately, "Miss Tao Hua, save me!"

"Miss Tao Hua?" Xie Xiaofeng asked, full of confusion. "Who is Miss Tao Hua?"

"Miss Tao Hua is—"

"Be careful!" Ye Fei suddenly called out loudly.

Xie Xiaofeng turned around, only to see a pair of crimson eyes rapidly closing in on him from above.

Around those blood-red eyes, there seemed to be a distorted patch of night, the same color as the profound night sky.

When the crimson eyes were only two meters away from Xie Xiaofeng, a gaping maw suddenly split open beneath them in the twisted darkness, expanding manifold in an instant, making the tongue within, which resembled a giant earthworm, clearly visible to both Xie Xiaofeng and Ye Fei.

The color on the deftly writhing tongue was even more intense than that of the eyes.

Just as the gaping maw was about to devour Xie Xiaofeng, he suddenly became a sharp arrowhead, and then like an arrow loosed from the string, shot into the gaping maw.

Seeing such an unbelievable sight, Ye Fei at the side was left in utter shock.

After a moment, Ye Fei, regaining his senses, trembled as he spoke into the walkie-talkie, "Xie Xiaofeng transformed into an arrow and went directly—"

Ye Fei didn't know how to describe what he was seeing. These crimson eyes were the same ones he had seen the night before he lost consciousness.

"That's the pair of eyes you saw last night, isn't it?" Chen Hao's voice came from the walkie-talkie.

"Mhm!"

"That's a Night Ghost, or more precisely, a Night Demon. It actually has a face, it's just that its face color is the same as the night, so it's very hard to make out," Chen Hao's voice continued, sounding remarkably relaxed. "Don't worry, a Night Demon is not hard to deal with. Xie Xiaofeng will come out soon."

"Mhm!"

"Wuu wuu!"

Suddenly, a mournful and ethereal sound arose amidst the wind, and Ye Fei saw several drops of crystalline tears fill the eyes of the Night Demon.

Then the mournful sound became heart-wrenching, and a glittering arrowhead emerged from the darkness behind the crimson eyes...
