"Heh heh!"

Shi Gui Shangren sneered without paying any further attention.

The Qi of Heaven and Earth seemed to rush forward towards him as his energy surged incredibly powerful.

This energy suddenly turned incredibly sharp, morphing into a lethal edge.

Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit!

This was the sound of sword energy.

Simultaneously, his eyes turned white, and two immense sword lights shot out from his eyes in an instant, cutting through the vast Heaven and Earth, to slash at Ming.

This was the manifestation of his invisible sword energy cultivated to the extreme, where even his eyes could emit sword light.

"Shi Gui Shangren, if you dare lay a hand on me, it's a violation of the Three-party Agreement," Ming retorted.

Seeing these two immense sword lights, Ming was completely terrified. He panickedly unleashed the Soul-hooking rope, facing Shi Gui Shangren's Eye Sword while he hastily made a retreat.

The Sword in Shi Gui Shangren's eyes was too strong. He didn't dare to withstand it directly.

"Boom!"

"Roar..."

A fierce sound emerged as the Eye Sword struck the Soul-hooking rope.

The Soul-hooking rope, as if damage severely, let out a desolate howl, retracted hastily, and fell into Ming's hand.

The Soul-hooking rope shrank back to its original size, behaving like a frightened cat, trembling in Ming's hand.

But the sword light didn't halt. It still aimed to slash Ming.

"Shi Gui, you've gone too far!"

Having his Soul-hooking rope cracked down upon, Ming also suffered. From his mouth leaked dark, stinky blood.

He unwillingly extended his Ghost Claw towards Shi Gui Shangren's eye Sword while howling furiously.

The Ghost Claw turned jet-black, working like a death-bringing weapon. In one swift moment, it seemed as if it had drawn all the surrounding evil Qi to confront Shi Gui Shangren's Eye Sword.

The Eye Sword turned into a snow-white color, continuing its relentless slash.

The evil Qi encountered the Sword Qi and was instantly dispersed, much like how snowflakes evaporate when they meet sunlight.

"Ah..."

Ming had lost his sanity. He hadn't realized Shi Gui Shangren's Eye Sword would be this powerful. He could only resort to desperation, howling and unleashing his Ghost claws.

In an instant, his Ghost Claws elongated, confronting the Eye Sword. At the same time, he hastily retreated.

Even after annihilating the Soul-hooking rope, the power of Shi Gui Shangren's Eye Sword remained formidable.

In fact, when invisible sword energy is cultivated to Shi Gui Shangren's level, whether the sword energy is emitted by the eyes or the hands, the difference in power is negligible.

The sword energy collided with Ming's Ghost Claws rapidly.

"Shishishi!"

The sword energy surged, severing Ming's Ghost Claws.

"Ah..."

Ming let out a miserable howl, filled with unwillingness.

Even for him, having his Ghost Claws severed was a massive blow.

"You glare at me, I glare right back at you."

Shi Gui Shangren, standing leisurely with hands behind his back, glared at Ming without any hint of anger.

"According to the Three-party Agreement, neither party's fourth realm or above practitioners can attack the weaker party. Ming, if you dare to violate the agreement again, I'll kill you!"

He openly threatened and disregarded Ming.

Ming was intimidated and didn't dare to oppose him.

"Young man, I'm leaving this to you now. Fight without hesitation. Anyone who dares to invade the human world, will be spared no mercy. If someone from the Fourth Realm gives you trouble, I will intervene."

Shi Gui Shangren turned around, gently patted Xiao Mu's shoulder.

After saying this, he turned his head once again and glared at Ming, his eyes revealing an undisguised killing intent.

Ming shuddered on the spot and instinctively stepped back. He was wholly intimidated by Shi Gui Shangren, completely losing his confidence.

"Thank you for your help, senior!"

Xiao Mu expressed his sincerest gratitude.

This Shi Gui Shangren was too formidable. His mere presence was enough to intimidate Ming.

He was well aware that without Shi Gui Shangren's help today, they would have been completely wiped out facing the Curse Ghost.

For Shi Gui Shangren, he was truly grateful.

"Who is this?"

"So powerful! Inconceivable!"

"Our human side has such a powerful martial artist!"

The surrounding mutants were all astonished, looking at Shi Gui Shangren, feeling incredible.

Initially, when Ming made his move, they fell into despair, believing that no one could face the Curse ghost, and the fate of Nanke City was worrisome.

Shi Gui Shangren appeared and defeated Ming with just a single glance, restoring their confidence and rekindling hope.

However, Shi Gui Shangren only defeated Ming, deterred the other party, and then left, without continuing the battle.

They could only pin their hopes on Xiao Mu, after all, he is the City Master of Nanke City, even though they still had no clear idea what being the City Master actually meant.

"Kill them all!"

"Don't let any survive!"

"Damn, they deserve to die!"

The crowd was enraged, harboring deep hatred for the Evil Ghosts.

"The Evil Ghost killed my brother and ate him alive. City Master of Nanke City, please avenge my brother."

This was a young woman, just an ordinary person. She had been watching and didn't leave just because her brother, a martial artist, had recently been consumed alive by an Evil Ghost in battle as he was overmatched.

"City Master of Nanke city, please, my husband has also been killed by the Evil Ghost."

"Daddy, daddy, I want my daddy."

...

Many were weeping, all victims' families who had been killed by the Evil Ghosts in the recent battle. They had chosen to rush out and fight the Evil Ghosts, knowing they were no match, all to protect their families.

Xiao Mu's expression gradually turned angry. The Evil Ghosts had brought immeasurable bloodshed to Nanke City, and as City Master of Nanke City, he could not ignore it.

Turning his gaze towards the direction of the Evil Ghosts, his expression gradually became icy cold, a killing intent surged from within him and he couldn't help but shout: "Who amongst you killed a human just now, roll out now and embrace death!"

Hearing these words, Ming's face turned extremely ugly. This City Master of Nanke city, in his presence, dared to scold his subordinates in this manner.

He couldn't help but feel angry as this was a huge blow to his pride.

However, after he glanced in the direction of the station, he ultimately contained his anger. With Shi Gui Shangren holding the fort here, he was scared and dared not make another move.

"Yi, come here."

Ming suddenly spoke, summoning the purple-black Blood Demon, Yi.

"Lord Ming, please give me your command."

Yi hurried over, kneeled on one knee, respectful and polite.

Ming quietly gave his order.

Yi nodded repeatedly.

Ming's words were an imperial edict to Yi. Even though Ming had just suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of Shi Gui Shangren, Yi didn't dare express any discontent.

Yi signaled, calling over a red Blood Demon.

"Jing, you fight him. This human has insulted Lord Ming and is deserving of death. Behead him."

"Yes."

Jing answered, a look of delight spreading across his face.

He was clueless about why Yi sent him first, which was nothing more than a test of Xiao Mu's strength.

He himself was already abandoned, only serving as a guinea pig for gauging the strength of the enemy.

Jing didn't know he had been discarded. On the contrary, because he was the first one called to battle, he thought he had been given an opportunity to perform and was exceedingly complacent.

Walking out from the crowd of ghosts, he stepped into the center of the battlefield and looked straight at Xiao Mu, "Human, I am Jing, if you want to court death, come at me."

Seeing Jing, the young woman who had just cried out, rushed over. She quickly walked up to Xiao Mu and directly knelt down, "City Master of Nanke City, it was him, it was him who ate my brother. Please, you must avenge my brother."

"I will, please stand up."

Xiao Mu agreed and reached out to help the young woman up.

"Thank you!"

The young woman wiped her tears and thanked him.

Xiao Mu instructed others to help the woman leave and take her to a safe place. Then, he turned and looked towards Jing.

The potent killing intent overtly surged from Xiao Mu, at this moment, he was utterly determined to slaughter this red Blood Demon to set an example.

Before he arrived, too many humans were killed by the Evil Ghosts. A huge victory was urgently needed to restore their faith.
