Chapter 76: May You All Have a Family Reunion!

Rain, heavy.

Freezing to the bone.

The muddy road instantly turned into a swamp, enough to make any living thing balk.

But Su Ming walked with absolute steadiness.

He hummed a theatrical tune, out of key.

Yet for no reason, he grew increasingly lonely and mad.

"Water Surge Mountain, where is the young Zhou Lang?"

Tonight, he is a good man.

On the Mid-Autumn Festival, he cannot bear to see people scattered.

So he personally goes to the Gate, sending them to the Yellow Springs, on the Naihe Bridge…

A whole-family reunion!

Ahead, amid the pouring rain, the Abandoned Chemical Plant shines brightly.

Rain streams down the umbrella edge, forming a water curtain that blurs the whole world.

Su Ming steps forward step by step.

"Ka!"

A light sound.

A dark‑gold helmet etched with a snarling beast pattern snaps precisely onto his crown!

The dark‑red plume atop the helmet sways like a drop of blood in the rain.

At his neck, the radiant Pride Pendant silently appears.

Ethereal light circulates, casting his profile in a bizarre glow.

A skin as thin as cicada wing, painted with intricate oils.

It emerges from the void, covering his entire face!

Half as pallid as snow, the lament of a secluded palace lady.

Half blood‑red as fire, the dirge of a battlefield general wrapped in horsehide.

Crossing black lines forcefully stitch these two extreme contradictions together.

Both insane and wicked!

As his mouth twitches, between lip and teeth a dark‑red fang appears!

The once delicate face vanishes completely!

It is a statue from the Nine Netherworld…

Ghost Deity!

…

Third floor of the plant, a superb observation post.

A broad‑faced man, cigarette between his lips, scans the plant's perimeter through a telescope.

"Damn, this damn weather, can't even see a ghostly figure."

He curses and blows out a smoke ring.

Eagle Elder is acting crazy for unknown reasons.

A sudden death order was issued; everyone went to top alert, sharpening their spirits to the max.

He said that in the next two days, some blind‑eyed troublemaker might appear.

It made the brothers unable to even enjoy the Mid‑Autumn wine properly!

"Someone with a fart coming? That's making a mountain out of a molehill…"

He mutters, and suddenly a lone figure with a black umbrella intrudes into the telescope's view.

"Hm?"

He freezes for a moment.

"What the hell! This damn weather actually has a lunatic out for a walk?"

"Just one person, it can't possibly be an invasion, right?"

"Almost a suicide mission!"

He adjusts the focus, trying to see the person's face.

But the rain is too heavy, and the umbrella sits low.

Only a vague silhouette is visible.

Just as he hesitates in doubt,

the person seems to sense the stare and lifts his head slightly.

Just one glance.

"What the hell!!!"

The man is terrified, his soul fleeing, and the telescope in his hand crashes to the ground.

What is that?!

A ghost!

"Enemy attack!!!"

He snatches the intercom on the table, his voice hysterical!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!!"

"At the Gate! At the factory Gate! A ghost! Coming this way!"

Repeating! There's a ghost!

Chi—

The piercing alarm sound instantly tore apart the tranquility of the chemical plant!

Huala!

Hualala!

Countless room lights lit up in succession!

Immediately after, hurried and chaotic footsteps, vulgar curses...

Damn! Who the hell?!

Damn! Which blind bastard dares to cause trouble on our turf!

Ghost? Pretending to be mystical!

Grab a weapon! Kill him!

Countless doors were kicked open.

Sturdy men holding machetes, steel pipes, and even firearms surged out wildly from every corner of the factory area!

Their faces were full of displeasure and ferocity from being disturbed from a sound sleep.

Making a fuss over nothing, not knowing what the hell they're shouting!

……

In front of the huge iron gate of the chemical plant.

The two sturdy men who rushed out first from the guard post, one of them holding a loudspeaker, shouted angrily.

Who! Stop immediately!

This is private property! Take another step forward and you'll be killed on sight!!!

The sound from the loudspeaker penetrated the rain curtain, echoing in the empty factory area.

However...

That figure, footsteps did not stop.

Neither fast nor slow.

Even that desolate, high-pitched opera tone.

It actually overwhelmed the rain sound, overwhelmed the warning, and clearly transmitted into everyone's ears.

Damn! Are you deaf?!

The scar-faced leader roared angrily, veins bulging on his forehead.

Shine on him! Use the strong light flashlight to shine him to death for me!

I want to see which little bastard is pretending to be mystical!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Numerous strong light flashlights tore through the dim rainy night, precisely striking Su Ming!

In an instant.

Silence.

Death-like silence.

The ferocity on the scarred man's face froze.

All the sturdy men who had just rushed out, the ferocity and displeasure on their faces all turned into shock!

Facial muscles twisted and twitched.

What kind of face is that!!!

It simply does not belong to the human world!

Ghost... Is there really a ghost?!

The terrifying aura of 【Pure Deterrent Heart】 instantly swept over!

The hundreds of outlaws present only felt difficulty breathing, their fighting spirit instantly crushed!

Stop... stop down! You damn well stop quickly!

Someone's legs went weak, almost kneeling on the ground, their voice trembling.

Fire!

Fire!!!

Under extreme fear pressure, finally someone's spirit completely collapsed, letting out a hysterical roar!

Bang bang bang bang bang bang!!!

Deafening gunfire suddenly exploded!

Numerous automatic rifles simultaneously spewed out angry flames!

Countless scorching bullets intertwined into a death net, shooting explosively at that ghostly figure still leisurely strolling!

But just at the moment the gunfire sounded.

That figure suddenly became illusory!

Fast!

Extremely fast!

The entire body turned into a ghostly Black Shadow gliding along the ground, rushing toward the open iron gate!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Dense bullets grazed his umbrella surface, grazed his body, and howled past.

On the ground behind him, a series of mud splashes half a meter high were kicked up.

Yet not even a corner of his clothing was touched!

"What a fine river wind..."

"Let's send this light boat onward..."

"Leaving behind the fierce battle at Red Cliff..."

"We've reached Jiangdong!!!"

The final word of the song was sung.

Su Ming had already appeared before the two gunmen nearest to him!

The eyes beneath the mask showed not a trace of Emotion.

"Pfft—!"

【Soul Dagger】 slid silently along a black arc.

It came so fast… there was no time to react!

The world spun!

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

Two heads, filled with shock and bewilderment, shot high into the sky!

Su Ming's figure did not pause in the slightest.

With a fierce spin, the ordinary Big Black Umbrella in his hand sliced precisely across the throat of the third person!

"Swish!"

Blood spurted wildly.

Carnage…

It has begun!

"Now, going alone to the meeting, the fish have entered the jar!"

"A true man, how could he fear a million-strong army!"

Su Ming hummed a tune, his figure having completely blended into the lobby on the first floor of the chemical plant.

Before him were a dozen or so sturdy men, stunned and panicked after their companions were instantly slain.

His left hand still steadfastly held the ordinary Big Black Umbrella, so out of place in this bloody place.

His right hand, the Soul Dagger swirling with black aura, greedily licked the soul it had just drunk!

The next line of the opera had already sounded.

The melody suddenly shifted from the earlier heroic fervor of riding alone to the meeting, to a stern, ironclad killing intent!

"Slay and burn Cao's troops—eighty thousand, not a single armor left!"
