The smoke ghost asked furiously, “What is needed for you to let me go?”

“You seem pretty useful.” Zhao Yao twirled him and said, “From now on, you belong to me.”

“No!” The smoke ghost yelled angrily, “Scumbag! Do you know what you have done? You are history. You are dead! We will not let you off!”

“Who are you?”

“We are…”

Loud roars were heard coming from the clouds of smoke. The smoke ghost combusted and the flames turned into sparks that vanished into the thin air.

Zhao Yao looked puzzled at his hand that was holding the smoke ghost prior and thought, “Suicide? Dead? Or a unique superpower that helped him escape?”

Thunder who witnessed the disappearing of the smoke ghost was worried as he said, “Are the ghosts in OX city all like this? No form and without shadow and capricious behavior too? They are not easy to deal with.”

“Don’t worry.” Zhao Yao waved his hand and said confidently, “I am a ghostbuster. Back in China and Japan, I have lost count of the ghosts that I have captured. This ghost isn’t particularly powerful.”

As Zhao Yao was calming his companions down, gunshots rang from the distant darkness and screams of humans tore through the silence.

Zhao Yao’s eyes glistened as he said, “Perhaps the other warriors rushed over in the dark?”

Zhao Yao activated his Deflective Field to place Thunder and his men behind him then he picked Fish Ball up and sprinted towards the commotion.

Fish Ball emitted white rays of light as Zhao Yao who was draped with Cheese’s cloak sprinted towards the direction of the gunshots. He looked like a small sun hovering in mid-air with white rays of brilliance illuminating the large expanse before them.

Meanwhile, a few warriors were running in the dark. Behind them were swooshing sounds that suggested some unknown creature was crawling on the ground and pursuing them.

One of the woman panted heavily and shouted, “No, I can’t run anymore. I will provide cover while you escape.”

A man pulled her along and sprinted while yelling, “No one will be left behind.”

The woman retorted fiercely, “If this goes on, everybody will die!”

As the group was in a heated discussion, a gust of sinister wind blew over their body and the swooshing sounds faded. The entire world fell into a dark silence. Only the heavy panting of the warriors was heard.

The warriors set themselves back to back. Their sweaty palms held handguns while their nervous faces scanned the surrounding darkness.

The woman abruptly tapped everyone’s back and pointed to a distant street corner.

They turned their heads and aimed their torchlight at the street corner.

A woman in a tall white dress and long dark hair that obscured her face stood motionless with bare feet.

Everyone shivered when they saw the woman in white. They felt a great sense of danger and it gave them goosebumps all over their bodies.

A few minutes ago, the woman in white had killed more than ten local apostles and then pursued them here.

They swallowed their saliva, turned around, and ran for their lives. They had no intention of fighting at all.

The woman in white vanished the moment they reacted.

The warriors were alarmed and screamed, “Run!”

A blood red tongue shot out from nowhere, wrapped around the waist of a warrior, and pulled him into the darkness.

Ah! The caught warrior roared, aimed his handgun at the blood red tongue, and pulled the trigger frantically.

However, the bullets were unable to sever the tongue. Instead, it caused a series of bellows from the darkness and for the crimson tongue to tighten its grip. The caught warrior screamed in pain as his body cracked under pressure.

The rest of the warriors were sick with anxiety. They raised their handguns and shot in the direction of the tongue extension. Their efforts were in vain as the caught warrior vanished slowly into the darkness.

A warrior screamed in anger and sprinted towards the darkness. The rest of the warriors wanted to stop him but it was too late. They gritted their teeth and followed suit.

The figure of the woman in white was caught in the wavering rays of the torchlight as she flashed across its beam. The warrior shot at the figure.

The rest of the warriors caught up and searched with their torchlight only to find the woman in white climbing the walls of a small building like a spider. The injured warrior was wrapped by a long crimson tongue and was carried by it as she climbed.

“Save him!”

“Be careful!”

“Don’t hit Xiao Meng!”

The warriors fired as they chased after her. The bullets landed on her with loud pops. However, the woman in white did not appear to be injured. The incessant gunshots infuriated her instead.

She bellowed and tossed Xiao Meng who landed on the ground. She scampered rapidly towards another warrior as her tongue shot out like a poisonous cobra and penetrated his shoulders.

Gunshots, ferocious bellows, screams of agony rang in the darkness. The warriors were all seriously injured. The woman in white did not kill them as she intended to capture them.

When the warriors had lost all hope, a ray of brilliance shone from the sky illuminating the entire street.

They lifted their head and saw in the blinding light a figure walking down from the sky, advancing towards the woman in white.

She showed her true self under the brilliant light. Her skin was as pale as a sheet, her face wretched, her eyes showing white and her tongue dripping with blood. She let out a disturbing bellow and rushed towards the unknown figure leaving a trail of her blurred white dress.

Her sudden acceleration was far greater than that used in the battle with the warriors. They realized that she had not used her full strength.

The woman in white seemed to hit an invisible wall with a loud explosion and she was sent flying back violently where she landed on the ground creating a large crater.

She recovered quickly and climbed up. After a deafening roar, she rushed forward again.

The figure in the white light clapped his hand and the air was severely distorted. The woman in white was being hit like a fly with a mosquito swat. She was sprawled in the crater, unable to move.
