Chapter 184: Confronting Yang Jian

When Yang Jian and Zhang Hao strike simultaneously.

In less than ten seconds, the entire Yin Yang Lu was already ablaze with terrifying flames.

Countless black‑and‑white silhouettes emerged from the darkness, walking within it, their hands constantly reaching toward Yang Jian.

These black‑and‑white figures are people long forgotten in death, and now they are trying to pull Yang Jian into the world of the dead.

"What a familiar face."

"But it's a pity, emotions are useless to me."

Yang Jian sneered, and the bright yellow Ghost Fire spread, attacking the Wraiths that came from the Spirit World.

As the Ghost Fire ignited the Wraiths, mournful wails rose at this moment, making it seem as if the Wraiths had truly come back to life—eerily uncanny.

Seeing those once‑familiar faces now constantly wailing, Yang Jian's face showed a hint of complexity.

But soon that trace of complexity vanished, and the Ghost Fire's blaze grew even more terrifying at that moment.

"You look no different from a Ghost."

"These are your relatives and friends, and you just eradicated their Wraiths outright."

Zhang Hao murmured, noting that the group at the forefront of the Wraiths were essentially Yang Jian's friends and family, at worst fellow captains of his rank.

Yet when faced with these people's Wraiths, Yang Jian launched the attack without a hint of hesitation.

"I truly don't wish to kill them, but rather than let you control them, I'd prefer they remain in eternal slumber."

Yang Jian's tone deepened, his expression growing solemn.

"Is that so?" Zhang Hao said, neither confirming nor denying.

In the next instant, Yang Jian's complexion suddenly shifted, a veil of dim gray flashing over him.

Unwittingly, countless eerie Crying echoed in Yang Jian's mind, a strong sorrow rising deep within his heart.

Countless familiar voices now turned into Crying, resonating in the depths of Yang Jian's mind, as if recalling a moment when some friends wept, evoking nostalgia and reluctance to forget.

"You bastard!"

Yang Jian's complexion shifted slightly, and he immediately employed the Restart paranormal.

Time around him twisted, and Yang Jian reversed everything that had occurred.

However, none of this affected him at all.

"Don't you realize? Your past, future, and present have already merged, so Restart holds no effect on you now."

Zhang Hao saw this scene of Yang Jian and was somewhat surprised.

Yang Jian truly didn't know about this paranormal shift?

"Is it because, after Yang Jian became an Immortal in this world, he never used paranormal abilities again?" Zhang Hao thought inwardly.

After all, Yang Jian's nature is primarily human; he doesn't actively employ paranormal powers, so he wouldn't know what abilities he has gained.

Yang Jian has no enemies in this world; the Seven Elders will not hinder him from solving paranormal dilemmas.

Even Zhang Dong would not fight him.

In this circumstance, it's not impossible that Yang Jian is unaware of it.

"I see."

Even without Zhang Hao speaking, Yang Jian could react swiftly.

Now, regardless of the temporal frame, his state remains identical.

In such a case, even returning to the past would not alter his own state.

Because the past Yang Jian and the present Yang Jian are indistinguishable, unless he chooses to return before completing a certain Puzzle.

But that is clearly impossible.

"But to think you can defeat me just like that, isn't it still too early?" Yang Jian's gaze was faint, and a pool of water formed on the Ground, reflecting the shape of a Da Lang Gou.

"Is that thing?" Zhang Hao was somewhat surprised.

According to Yang Jian's earlier words, this world should be over a thousand years old; unexpectedly, after all those years, the Da Lang Gou has been following Yang Jian up to now.

With the Da Lang Gou's appearance, the sounds circulating in Yang Jian's mind vanished swiftly.

"I hadn't intended to do this, but now, without this move, it would be hard to suppress you."

Yang Jian knows exactly what terrifying paranormal abilities Zhang Hao possesses.

Zhang Hao, who has nearly Ghost Devouring the entire Derived World of Fierce Ghosts, can, if he wishes to develop, employ any type of attack.

In the brief moment Yang Jian acted, Zhang Hao already accumulated countless Suppression Quotas on his body.

The Mindless Suppression paranormal activated, and Zhang Hao intended to use it to completely suppress Yang Jian.

But unfortunately, Zhang Hao's plan did not succeed.

Yang Jian's endless hell has imprisoned far too many Fierce Ghosts.

Even if Yang Jian does not absorb these Ghosts, treating them as a Puzzle is enough to empower himself to resist Zhang Hao's Mindless Suppression.

After all, it's not just Zhang Hao; Yang Jian himself also possesses Infinite Derivation paranormal methods.

"Now that's an interesting development technique."

"Generally, ordinary people who obtain a Ghostly Servant constantly Ghost Devour Fierce Ghosts, Ghost Control Fierce Ghosts, and increase Suppression Quota."

"But you go the opposite way; not only do you not rely on Mindless Ghost's Growth as the main Suppression Quota, but you actively devised a method to stack Suppression Quantity."

Suppression-wise, the Ghostly Servant's Mindless Suppression is an extremely unsolvable paranormal.

After becoming Yang Jian, with no Fierce Ghost revival threat, Yang Jian can, via Ghost Eye, pull out countless versions of himself from past and future in a short time.

This time Zhang Hao did not respond to Yang Jian; they are enemies, not friends.

Seeing that Mindless Suppression failed to take effect, Zhang Hao immediately employed a new method.

Countless Ghost Stools appeared at this moment, each possessing a paranormal that forces people to sit down.

Even for someone of Yang Jian's caliber, the Hong Bai Shuang Sha Ghost Stool cannot exert much effect.

But merely letting Yang Jian split his spirit for a moment already counts as a huge opportunity for Zhang Hao.

Only after the Hong Bai Shuang Sha Ghost Stool appears, Zhang Hao immediately lifts his hand.

At this moment, the Ghost Bride raises her hand and grabs Zhang Hao, and the Ghost Summoning phenomenon is used.

Immediately after, aside from Zhang Hao and the Ghost Bride themselves,

In the densely packed surroundings, one Zhang Hao after another and Ghost Bride appear.

Countless Zhang Haos and Ghost Brides overlay the Ghost Summoning phenomenon.

"This move is ineffective against me."

Seeing this scene, Yang Jian coldly speaks; countless Yang Jians appear at this moment, brandishing long knives, simultaneously slashing toward the direction where Zhang Hao stands.

This is an overlapping attack from countless timeline Yang Jians; once this slash lands, all timeline Zhang Haos will be dismembered as a result.

However, at this moment, Yang Jian's expression flickers.

He perceives a change within himself.

Zhang Hao and the Ghost Bride's target for Ghost Summoning is not Yang Jian.

They also realize that Ghost Summoning against so many Yang Jians probably cannot produce a very good effect.

Thus from beginning to end, Zhang Hao and the Ghost Bride's Ghost Summoning target is placed on those Fierce Ghosts that Yang Jian has suppressed in the Abyssal Hell.
