Chapter 54: Melee

~7 min read 1,263 words

While no one noticed, the sky at some unknown moment let sheets of paper money fall.

Only when someone's body changed after touching the paper money did the Ghost Tamer present finally react.

"What is this?"

Seeing the changes in the person who touched the paper money from afar, Feng Quan's pupils involuntarily dilated considerably.

He saw that after contacting the paper money, the person's body became thin at a visibly rapid pace.

That piece of paper copper coin, only slightly larger than a bottle cap, seemed to absorb the flesh and blood inside the body; in no time, he turned into a skin‑and‑bone husk.

If he were not a Ghost Tamer who commanded two ghosts, he would have already lost all life at this point.

Fortunately, someone reacted quickly; after seeing the change, they immediately produced a Ghost Candle and lit it beside the victim.

The appearance of a red Ghost Candle temporarily blocked the paper copper coin from further draining the Ghost Tamer's life.

Yet even so, that person could not hold out long, because the red Ghost Candle burned extremely fiercely.

"The source of the copper coins should be there," Jiang Shangbai said, pointing at the sky.

Feng Quan looked toward the direction Jiang Shangbai indicated, and at some point a White Cloth floated in the air as if lifted by wind.

However, the White Cloth itself was not what Feng Quan cared about; what truly mattered was that a copper coin hung on the White Cloth.

No, it should be called paper money.

As the White Cloth swayed, the paper copper coin hanging on it began to fall.

"Jiang Shangbai, can you transfer the falling paper copper coins out of the Ghost Domain?" Feng Quan asked.

"It's difficult; those paper copper coins seem to corrode my Ghost Domain, clinging firmly to it,"

"When they fall in midair, I feel my Ghost Domain is as if a nail has been driven into it,"

"Unless they land completely on the ground, I cannot transfer them out,"

Jiang Shangbai's words made Feng Quan's complexion turn sour.

When the copper coins nail the Ghost Domain in midair, doesn't that mean that against the Red and White Double Evil, even using the Ghost Domain to escape is impossible? "Cough cough cough!"

While the two were speaking, a Ghost Tamer from the group had already approached Zhang Hao.

Although the sudden appearance of paper money caught them off guard, causing some casualties, it did not cause everyone to lose control.

A Ghost Tamer was seen reaching toward the Ghost Coffin beside Zhang Hao.

But at that moment, a White Cloth suddenly bound him, wrapping him tightly.

This is the ability of the White Curtain; the White Curtain not only exists on the sky side, it can also spawn other White Curtains.

"Kui An!"

Someone who saw the scene shouted.

Fortunately, although Jiang Shangbai's Ghost Domain was nailed, it had not lost its fundamental ability.

As an eerie yellow light appeared within the Ghost Domain, the bound Kui An successfully transferred into Feng Quan's Ghost Domain.

Feng Quan warily glanced at the White Curtain wrapped around Kui An, then a deep pit opened beneath his feet, burying Kui An and leaving only a head.

Ghost Grave Soil can suppress Fierce Ghosts, so as long as Feng Quan times it right, he can use burial in Grave Soil to block certain curses and attacks.

This White Curtain is not the source of the White Curtain; after being buried in Grave Soil, it quickly lost its effect.

There are too many Ghost Tamers; whatever tactics are used, some Ghost Tamer always has a counter, and now it seems they can only stalemate and wear each other down.

Zhang Hao looked at the dozen‑plus Ghost Tamers in the distance; each of them commanded at least two ghosts.

As the two sides clashed, with various supernatural attacks piling up, Zhang Hao could feel his body being suppressed.

Moreover, the biggest trouble was that Zhang Hao had to stay near the Ghost Coffin to ensure it wasn't stolen with a Ghost Domain; time ticked by second by second.

Zhang Hao found it troublesome, but Jiang Shangbai's side was even more urgent.

The Red and White Double Evil are Fierce Ghosts; a group of Ghost Tamers battling Fierce Ghosts is courting death, isn't it?

"Continuing like this is impossible; we still need to find a way to steal the Ghost Coffin,"

"Those guys won't hold out; once the Red and White Double Evil summon ghosts, we'll all die here,"

Feng Quan gritted his teeth, glanced at Zhang Hao, and a hint of resolve appeared in his eyes.

Although they have many methods that can keep them alive briefly, it is of no help.

Whether it's the red Ghost Candle or the supernatural power within a Ghost Tamer, both have limits.

Just like those who were tainted by paper copper coins earlier, once the red Ghost Candle extinguishes, they will likely die instantly.

Under Jiang Shangbai's startled gaze, Feng Quan took out a white Ghost Candle, lit it, and then left the spot using his Ghost Domain.

His Ghost Domain was not tainted by paper copper coins, so he could move freely.

"I'll draw away the Red and White Double Evil; you seize the Ghost Coffin in the meantime,"

Feng Quan tossed the line, and the next moment he was already over a hundred meters away.

As the white Ghost Candle ignited, the Ghost Bride who had been standing idle began to move.

The Ghost Bride, attracted by the white Ghost Candle, grabbed Zhang Hao and started walking toward Feng Quan.

Zhang Hao watched the departing Ghost Bride, then glanced at the nearby Ghost Coffin and immediately seized a corner of it to chase after the Bride.

But at that moment, a pair of hands suddenly emerged from beneath Zhang Hao's feet, grabbing his legs.

Zhang Hao's forward motion was halted, and the hands he and the Ghost Bride were holding were forced to let go.

Moreover, because the Ghost Seeking Kin's range is a thousand meters, the Bride, attracted by the white Ghost Candle, did not stop to wait for Zhang Hao.

After all, within a thousand meters they remain within each other's perception.

Without the Bride's hand‑holding boost, the terror level on Zhang Hao dropped sharply.

"Now's the time."

Jiang Shangbai's eyes lit up; his figure vanished from the spot, and the next instant he was behind Zhang Hao, stepping a foot onto him.

The others also realized this was an opportunity.

Red and White Double Evil separate, no longer holding hands, their Terror Level will inevitably drop.

Thus all Ghost Tamers unleashed their own attack methods.

For a moment, Zhang Hao only felt many Spirit Phenomena appearing on his body, his flesh rotting, itching, his feet being pulled by a pair of hands, and an indescribable drowsiness emerging in Zhang Hao's consciousness.

Having experienced it several times, Zhang Hao knows this is a prelude to his being suppressed.

He glanced at the Ghost Coffin beside him, and thought that taking the Ghost Coffin to break out together was still too difficult.

When Zhang Hao opened his eyes again, he was no longer in the original place.

The Ghost Coffin that had been dragging him before was now a hundred meters away from him.

Zhang Hao, because he was suppressed, Restarted beside the Ghost Bride.

Fortunately, apart from the Ghost Coffin, the paper copper coins in the sky had already been reclaimed by Zhang Hao, causing no loss.
