Chapter 167: Zhang Dong Defeated, the Captain's Squad Annihilated!

Ye Zhen developed the ability of Infinite Replacement Death.

The injuries he had previously taken can, from behind, be replaced again.

Facing this situation, He Yuelian couldn't help but feel a bit panicked.

Although under Zhang Hao's teaching, He Yuelian's Combat Power rose sharply, and her progress in the supernatural is not comparable.

But her combat experience is still too limited; since becoming a Ghost Tamer up to now, she has never truly faced an unsolvable battle.

After all, with Zhang Hao present and Dry Corpse Bride's Six-Tenths of the Ghostly Power as a starting point, most of the time she only needs to crush the past with her own supernatural strength.

However, facing this situation, Dry Corpse Bride shows no abnormality.

Dry Corpse Bride's actions remain calm; the Ghost Domain is unfolding at this moment, and some Ghost Shadows disappear instantly when they approach Dry Corpse Bride.

This is because Dry Corpse Bride has shifted the position; the Ghost Domain drawn by the ghost is so vast that as long as the Ghost Domain cannot suppress Dry Corpse Bride, she can divert these substantial attacks.

Then a chilling blood appears on Dry Corpse Bride, soaking her body and helping her fend off the incoming attacks.

And at some point, a red pair of scissors appeared in Dry Corpse Bride's hand.

Dry Corpse Bride slowly raises the Ghost Scissors, seemingly cutting something in the empty air.

As Dry Corpse Bride continuously wields the Ghost Scissors, many Ghost Shadows heading toward her seem to lose their target and begin to dissipate.

"The Medium of the attack has been cut?"

Ye Zhen furrowed his brow; the Ghost Scissors in Dry Corpse Bride's hand seem to possess an extremely special supernatural power, actually able to cut the Medium.

"There is even such a thing?"

He Yuelian's eyes also lit up at this moment; she hadn't expected Dry Corpse Bride to have a tool like Ghost Scissors.

In fact, it's no wonder she's so surprised.

Although the Ghost Scissors ended up in Dry Corpse Bride's hands, Zhang Hao and Dry Corpse Bride usually act together, and many times the Ghost Scissors are simply unnecessary.

After all, those weaker than them have no need for Ghost Scissors, and those stronger find the Ghost Scissors useless.

Moreover, whether Zhang Hao or Dry Corpse Bride, their resistance to curse-type supernatural abilities is very strong.

At the same time, elsewhere.

As the battle continues.

Zhang Hao's confrontation with Zhang Dong has gradually reached its climax.

The Ghostly Servant's Suppression Quantity keeps stacking, and with some of Zhang Hao's clones eating ghosts in other Spiritual Realms, the current Zhang Dong has been suppressed by Zhang Hao to the point where he can no longer use the Erase supernatural.

The essence of Erase is an attack chain formed by countless layers of suppression-related supernatural, targeting past, present, future, cursed Mediums, and other aspects simultaneously.

At first, Zhang Hao's suppression only targeted the Medium of Zhang Dong's Erase, but this does not prevent Zhang Dong from using other Mediums to perform Erase on Zhang Dong.

However, as more Fierce Ghosts suppressing Zhang Dong appear, Zhang Hao discovers Zhang Dong's logic of Erase.

They exist in the current clones, the original body, memories, and various Mediums of past and future.

Thus, Zhang Hao begins to target the supernatural within Zhang Dong's body related to these aspects.

Hard work pays off; as Zhang Hao suppresses the Erase supernatural affecting Zhang Dong in the past and future, Erase can no longer be used.

Although the current Zhang Dong is still very terrifying, his attacks can now only be considered an extreme Certain Death and suppression attack, no longer an unsolvable Erase.

Facing suppression and Certain Death supernatural, Zhang Hao naturally has nothing to worry about.

The Infinite Restart supernatural makes him fearless, and the stacking from Infinite Invasion further greatly enhances Zhang Hao's own defense.

At this moment, Zhang Dong's Erase is like a towering skyscraper.

As the foundation is broken, the building can no longer stand and begins to lose balance.

In this situation, Zhang Hao naturally suppresses Zhang Dong without incurring much cost.

Zhang Dong has few defensive measures; the reason he seemed unsolvable is simply because the Erase supernatural prevents any supernatural attacks against him.

This situation is similar to early Zhang Hao; ignoring the Restart supernatural, Zhang Hao's own defense wasn't particularly strong.

The reason the current Zhang Hao has strong defense is only due to changes brought by the growth of Hungry Ghosts and Ghostly Servants, plus the Infinite Invasion supernatural that disperses attacks.

Zhang Hao lifted the suppressed corpse of Zhang Dong, pondered briefly, and his fingernails rapidly elongated; as his nails sliced, Zhang Dong's body was divided into three parts.

This comes from the supernatural of a machete; the elongated nails are merely a ghost Zhang Hao accidentally ingested while eating ghosts.

Seeing the dissected yet still writhing Zhang Dong corpse, Zhang Hao reached out, lifted one portion, and ate it.

As for the other two dissected bodies on the ground, Zhang Hao currently has no intention of eating them.

Zhang Dong's Terror Level is too high; digesting it will take some time.

Moreover, swallowing them whole, Zhang Hao cannot be sure whether these bodies will reconnect inside him.

If, after swallowing Zhang Dong's corpse, it hasn't been suppressed and instead reconnects internally, delivering an Erase from within, Zhang Hao would have no way to cope.

Having dealt with Zhang Dong, Zhang Hao then looks toward the exterior of the Ghost's Zhang Dong's Ghost Residence's Exterior.

With such a massive Ghost Domain from Dry Corpse Bride, Zhang Hao naturally would not have missed it.

Moreover, he had already Precognized the scene of Yang Jian and his party's arrival, so he naturally is aware of the current situation.

Zhang Hao's figure vanished on the spot, and the next moment he arrived outside the Ghost's Zhang Dong's Ghost Residence's Exterior.

"Bai Sha has emerged!"

As soon as Zhang Hao appeared, he attracted everyone's attention.

Seeing Zhang Hao's arrival, everyone understood one thing: Zhang Dong inside the Ghost's Zhang Dong's Ghost Residence's Interior has been defeated.

"Can't even beat him?" Zhang Baihua's face grew solemn.

Even Zhang Dong lost; although it's only a revived Zhang Dong, it sufficiently shows that this ghost is now completely unsolvable.

Just as Zhang Hao appeared, the Mindless Suppression belonging to the Ghostly Servant on him was activated.

With the Ghostly Servant's supernatural triggered.

In an instant, an incredibly terrifying supernatural spread outward.

At this moment, Zhang Hao had just finished his clash with Zhang Dong, and his Suppression Quota remained at an extremely terrifying amount.

This terrifying Suppression Quota had just appeared, yet it already caused everyone present to lose the qualification to use Ghost Power.

He Yuelian was cooperating with the Ghost Bride to confront Ye Zhen, when she suddenly noticed that Ye Zhen had lost Ghost Power; she immediately acted, deploying the Ghost Bride's Certain Death supernatural, and Footsteps were triggered.

At the same time, in the direction where Yang Jian and his companions were, the painted ghosts summoned by the Ghost Bride also launched attacks.

Deprived of the ability to wield Ghost Power, Yang Jian and his group were, aside from having physiques slightly stronger than ordinary people, not much different otherwise.

Facing the Ghost Bride's assault, they naturally had no means of resistance.

From then on, the captain and the Seven Elders had all been defeated.

Having dealt with Yang Jian and his companions, Zhang Hao looked at the Ghost Bride.

"Madam, come with me to the old mansion," Zhang Hao waved his hand toward the Ghost Bride.

The Ghost Bride heard Zhang Hao's voice and immediately came to his side, taking his hand.

Entering the old mansion, it now appeared far more gloomy than before, when it had not been tainted by any Ghost Power.

Zhang Dong was suppressed, causing the Fierce Ghosts inside the old mansion to become restless again at this moment.

However, with Zhang Hao's arrival, the situation clearly improved.

After Zhang Hao dealt with Yang Jian and his group, he did not withdraw the Ghostly Servant's Mindless Suppression supernatural; he still maintained the stacked Mindless Suppression.

At this point, calling Zhang Hao another Zhang Dong would not be an exaggeration.

All Fierce Ghosts that approached Zhang Hao would be suppressed by the Ghostly Servant's Supernatural Suppression to the point of immobility.

Moreover, since Zhang Hao's stacked supernatural originates from various eras, his Mindless Suppression targets any Fierce Ghost.

Those Supernatural Artifacts and Supernatural Attacks are suppressed by him to the point of nonexistence the instant they approach Zhang Hao.

As Zhang Hao entered the old mansion, the whole building grew cold and gloomy, and a black‑and‑white hue began to suffuse the mansion that lay deep within the Spiritual Realm.

In the corridor of the old mansion, far ahead Zhang Hao saw the very room from before.

The Bride likewise sensed the aura; she grabbed Zhang Hao's hand, rushed forward, pushed open the door of the Red Room, and stepped inside.

The Red Room had just been opened, and inside emitted an almost tangible red glow.

"Madam, go ahead; this is the moment for you to be completely restored."

Zhang Hao looked at the Red Room, rubbed the Ghost Bride's beautiful hair—of course, the term 'beautiful hair' was only his way of speaking.

To anyone else, even a Fierce Ghost, that long hair would possess an indescribably terrifying supernatural aura.

"Hao!"

After the Ghost Bride entered the room, she did not rush forward; instead she seized Zhang Hao's hand and pulled him deeper into the room.

"Alright, I understand; I will help you with makeup."

"But before that, let's first fill in what's missing in the room."

Zhang Hao concealed the Face-Covering Cloth on his body, revealing a pale, smiling face.

If anyone were in this old mansion now and saw Zhang Hao's grin, they would surely think themselves insane.

One must remember this is the White Evil of the terrifying Red and White Double Evil; even a ghost like that can smile? At this moment, He Yuelian, seeing Zhang Hao hide the Face-Covering Cloth, showed a look of obsession in her eyes.

After such a long time, He Yuelian truly could not tell in her heart whether Zhang Hao's identity was human or ghost.

Perhaps, but all this was unimportant to her.

As long as she could follow Zhang Hao and feel his aura, she was content.

Even in Zhang Hao's heart, the only one he cared about was the Ghost Bride; only the Ghost Bride could make him smile.

The Ghost Bride led, with Zhang Hao and He Yuelian following behind; the three quickly entered the Red Room.

This time, Zhang Hao need not act.

The Red Room is the Ghost Bride's puzzle; regarding where the missing items belong inside the Red Room, the Ghost Bride knows better than Zhang Hao.

After Zhang Hao took out the Red Canopy Bed and placed it where the room's original bed had stood, the Ghost Bride guided him to sit in front of the bed.

At the same time, the Ghost Bride glanced at He Yuelian.

There was no dialogue, not even eye contact, yet He Yuelian inexplicably moved to Zhang Hao's side and sat beside him.

Seeing He Yuelian accompany Zhang Hao, the Ghost Bride finally began to move about the room.

She first took out the Ghost Scissors, then returned the Ghost Scissors to the drawer.

Then she took out the bride and groom's Ghostly Puppets and placed them on the red table.

Next came the Red Candlestick and the Red Curtain.

At this moment, the Ghost Bride alone kept tidying everything in the room.

However, Zhang Hao was not surprised by this.

From the Red Room the Ghost Bride left in the Painting World, the Ghost Tamer who rode the Ghost Bride during the Republic Era must have been a diligent person.

Usually, in the Painting World, the Ghost Bride often tidies various implementations of the wedding rooms in the Republic Era manor.

However, since Zhang Hao and the Ghost Bride do not need to eat, and that realm belongs to the Ghost Domain, there is no dust or the like.

Thus the Ghost Bride in the Painting World does not need to tidy at all.

This Red Room lacked so many items, so the Ghost Bride naturally needed to tidy everything here.

Although she has an instinct to tidy, perhaps she hasn't done so in a long time, or perhaps because of the Fierce Ghosts, her perception is flawed, and the Ghost Bride's arrangement is irregular.

After the Ghost Bride placed all the missing items in the Red Room, the room no longer looked festive and lively; instead it felt somewhat eerie.

However, after the Ghost Bride finished, she seemed very satisfied, called out to Zhang Hao, then took the Ghost Makeup and proceeded to apply it at the dressing table.

"I'm coming."

Zhang Hao understood the Ghost Bride's meaning, stood up, and moved to her side.

He gently lifted the Red Veil on the Ghost Bride's face a bit, revealing a perfect visage.

He Yuelian also approached, and upon seeing the Ghost Bride's perfect face, her pupils involuntarily contracted.

Although she had long suspected it, actually seeing the Ghost Bride's appearance still couldn't help He Yuelian feel astonished.

She and the Ghost Bride actually look exactly the same; aside from temperament, there is no discernible difference on the surface.

Zhang Hao looked at the Ghost Bride's face, took the Ghost Makeup, and without saying much, began applying the Ghost Makeup to the Ghost Bride.

Having been taught by He Yuelian before, applying makeup on such an identical face is not a difficult task for Zhang Hao.

Although the two have slightly different temperaments, since He Yuelian harnessed the Ghost Bride's Six-Tenths of the Ghostly Power, her own temperament has also begun to shift toward a cold, gloomy side.

However, the Ghost Bride leans more toward being icy, yet behaves as a dignified and elegant lady of the boudoir.

He Yuelian, on the other hand, is even more icy—a proud woman who looks down on everyone.

Of course, this iciness of both the Ghost Bride and He Yuelian is directed only at outsiders.

As Zhang Hao's fingers kept sliding, soon the makeup on the Ghost Bride's face was finished by her.

After the touch‑up, the Ghost Bride appeared with two more breaths of vitality; her eyes also gained a hint of Ghost's Agility, no longer looking as if she had no emotional fluctuations before.

"It looks like the effect is caused by the special effect of the Ghost Makeup."

Hong Bai Shuang Sha can revive Li Jun by painting his face; the Ghost Bride, He Yuelian, and the Ghost Tamer named 'Yuelian' from the Republic Era all have identical appearances.

After the Ghost Makeup touch‑up for the Ghost Bride, the Ghost Bride's wisdom seems to have increased considerably.

Although she has not become a living person, if this Ghost Bride were placed outside now, she could be considered a strange, intelligent Fierce Ghost.
