All the team captains of headquarters have gathered in Dahai City at this mont.
They arrived quickly because the Ghost Ship would appear in the city in just a few minutes, and they had no choice but to act swiftly.
Upon arriving in Dahai City, they discovered that Ye Zhen had already engaged with the people from the King Organization, and it seed Ye Zhen had the upper hand. One of the Kings was pinned to the ground, getting beaten. Although he was resilient, it was obvious to everyone that unless sothing unexpected happened, Ye Zhen would certainly take him down one-on-one.
So they chose not to intervene but rather to lie low around the area, planning to ambush any reinforcents that might co to support the opponent.
Unexpectedly, they didn't wait for the King but instead caught three mbers of the King's Squad trying to escape.
Although the mbers of the King's Squad weren't weak and their teamwork could hold back a single captain, this ti, unfortunately, it wasn't just one captain who ca, but all the captains, including the seven-man squad led by Li Yang and the external support invited by He Yiner from the Faceless Person of Taiping Ancient Town.
Adding Leuk San, Wang Chaling, Lin Bei, Zhou Deng, Lu Zhiwen, Li Leping, and He Yuelian to the mix, unless all the Kings of the King Organization acted together, there was no chance for anyone to survive against this assembly.
"The three mbers of the King Organization just got dealt with; one is dead, and two were captured alive. Leuk San is interrogating them, trying to gather intelligence. As it stands, it's unlikely that the opponents will receive reinforcents. The Ghost Ship is about to appear, and the King Organization doesn't want a conflict with us at this critical point. The King fighting with Ye Zhen got greedy; they thought they could kill Ye Zhen solo and leave, but they made a wrong decision and got stuck with Ye Zhen."
Lin Bei ran his hand over his bald head as he analyzed the situation.
"Indeed, it's unlikely anyone else will show up, but capturing a King from the opposing side is still a win," said He Yiner.
Lu Zhiwen rasped, "But many mbers of the Supernatural Forum have died, even Ah Wu, the forr head of Dahai City, was killed. No wonder Ye Zhen is so enraged. The opponents are ruthless, always bullying the weak and never daring to confront us directly, always aiming for an overwhelming advantage to win this war."
"Greed cos with a price."
Wang Chaling moved towards the building: "I need to ensure that King codenad 'Killer' dies here. I don't trust Ye Zhen to handle him alone, plus I promised Yang Jian I'd deal with a King to settle past matters. So I hope everyone will give this opportunity."
"We won't intervene, but it also depends on Ye Zhen's consent. He wants to avenge the Supernatural Forum mbers and might not welco your help," said Lu Zhiwen.
"It's been a while, and the King hasn't been taken down. Maybe there's an unexpected discovery. This is the opportunity I've been waiting for." While Wang Chaling spoke, he had already entered the darkness-shrouded building.
He truly wasn't keen to intrude on the duel between Ye Zhen and the Killer.
But if the opponent tried to escape midway and he seized the opportunity to strike, even Ye Zhen couldn't complain.
At this mont.
Ye Zhen ceased his attack. After his torrential assault, his expression remained composed, and he barely panting if he hadn't stopped on his own accord, he could have maintained that level of attack for several more days because he could transfer any fatigue or injury onto others through the Scapegoat Ghost's supernatural abilities.
He stopped because the assassin in front of him had disappeared, leaving only a twisted human-shaped shadow on the ground.
Countless assaults, even a King couldn't withstand them; this was Ye Zhen's terrifying strength.
One-on-one, no one could endure against him indefinitely.
An attack by many would be nullified by his Scapegoat Ghost's powers.
Thus, defeating him wasn't a simple task at all.
"That's it? Weren't you boasting just now? Yet, you got pounded into the ground in less than five minutes and can't even be pulled out now. Such audacity to ambush , pathetic," Ye Zhen spat contemptuously at the twisted human-shaped shadow on the ground.
Even so, his anger wasn't alleviated.
This ti, he had lost many subordinates, even Ah Wu was killed in front of him. Capturing a King and taking down three King squads still couldn't quell his inner rage.
"I'll pack you into a jar and take you away. I'll use you for practice every day." At this mont, Ye Zhen retrieved the old clay jar, intending to capture the person for daily tornt.
However, just then.
The twisted human-shaped shadow branded on the ground suddenly opened its eyes.
Despite several minutes of relentless assault, he hadn't died; he was still alive, still conscious, and as soon as Ye Zhen stopped, he promptly regained so mobility.
Seizing this opportunity, the King codenad 'Killer' didn't hesitate for a mont and imdiately escaped.
The twisted human-shaped shadow swiftly swam across the ground and quickly traversed up the walls, moving so fast it was beyond comprehension. In just the blink of an eye, he had already left that floor, vanishing silently into the building's darkness, once more laying low and hiding.
"That damned Ye Zhen, the intelligence was wrong, he's stronger than assessed. It's a pity that blade didn't kill him. I can't stay here any longer; I must escape," the King codenad 'Killer' fled in disarray, not daring to pause for a second.
He knew that if Ye Zhen caught him again, he would be unequivocally dood.
Yet just as he was hastily leaving the building, trying to hide in Dahai City, he inexplicably ca across an elderly couple standing in the corridor.
The elderly couple, a grey-haired man and woman, appeared to be husband and wife, advanced in years with faces full of wrinkles, exuding a lifeless aura. More eerily, they appeared entirely colorless; they were both in black and white, holding each other's hands, completely blocking the corridor and seemingly forbidding any living being to pass.
"I knew a King wouldn't die so easily, and sure enough, you found a chance to escape." Wang Chaling's voice sounded as he leisurely appeared from behind the couple.
"But this ends here. Grandpa, Grandma, tear him apart for ."
"Damn it."
The King codenad 'Killer' imdiately realized that the backing of the headquarters' captains had arrived from the headquarters. Without saying a word, he changed direction to flee.
Just then, Ye Zhen was a bit taken aback. He saw the enemy he had defeated slip away right under his nose and imdiately shouted in rage, instantly deploying the Ghost Domain to cover the whole building, chasing after him imdiately.
But then.
A scream echoed from so corner of the building.
The next mont.
Ye Zhen appeared, holding his sword and glaring furiously. However, the person standing before him wasn't the King codenad 'Killer' but soone very familiar.
"Xiao Wang, what are you doing? I, Ye, will deal with my enemy myself. There's no need for your assistance." Ye Zhen roared.
Wang Chaling adjusted his glasses calmly, "The longer sothing drags on, the more dreams are made. I helped you take him down. This King is hard to kill, and if he had escaped, we'd suffer a lot. You'll have plenty of chances to get revenge, missing this one doesn't matter."
Standing behind him were the two lifeless, dreadful old people, not moving an inch. Yet in their hands, each held half of a cold body. This body was peculiar, only skin and flesh, filled with a mass of black shadow.
The King codenad 'Killer' had been torn in half by the vengeful ghosts transford from the Wang Family's ancestors, rendering him unrecognizable.
Yet, this was normal, as the supernatural was shattered into a jigsaw puzzle and couldn't form an anomaly as it had before.
Such a thing was akin to forcibly returning it to its original state.
Too bad the jigsaw wasn't broken enough, or repeated attempts would likely turn that body into a normal corpse.
"Do you think he could escape from ?" Ye Zhen stared at Wang Chaling.
"Just a precaution, no need to be upset," Wang Chaling replied, "Moreover, he's not dead yet, still alive. These thods seem hard to completely eliminate him; we need to obliterate his consciousness."
"Then let do it."
Ye Zhen strode over, and the doll corpse perched on his back erged again. It poked its head out, eerily watching the torn-in-half body, then rested its head on Ye Zhen's shoulder, whispering who-knows-what into his ear.
