Chapter 81: Leaving the Ghost Market

"Ah!"

A shrill, miserable scream rang out instantly, accompanied by the Ruyi Golden Cudgel descending with Lin Feng's incomparably tyrannical strength, leaving the goat herder's head bloodied and broken on the spot.

However, what surprised Lin Feng was that his strike had not actually beaten the man to death.

Just as Lin Feng swung the Golden Cudgel down again, the fur-lined jacket on the bloodied goat herder suddenly began to squirm, transforming directly into a strange, humanoid monster with horns and scarlet eyes that blocked the blow.

"Baa~ Baa~"

"Bang!"

The Golden Cudgel collided directly with the creature's horns, snapping them on the spot. Subsequently, its head burst open, revealing a corpse inside that was purple-blue all over, clearly having been suffocated to death.

The other humanoid monsters around them gradually turned into charred corpses under the burning of the ghost fire; the fur, horns, and claws on their bodies that clearly did not belong to humans fell off one after another.

"You dare hit me! You dare hit me!"

"I want you to die!!"

By the time Lin Feng forcibly suppressed that corpse, the goat herder, who was fleeing toward the pawnshop, was cursing incessantly while pulling out handfuls of ghost coins.

"Greedy for wealth! Greedy for wealth!"

"Kill him! These coins will be yours!"

"Kill him! Kill him!"

As these ghost coins scattered onto the street, the goat herder began to shout as if he had gone mad.

"Hehe."

But immediately after, a strange, eerie laughter rang out from thin air, and the ghost coins on the ground began to roll toward a certain direction as if attracted by something.

It was only then that Lin Feng saw a peddler carrying a shoulder pole slowly appear on the street in the distance.

This peddler was dressed in short clothes, wore a melon-skin cap, and had an exceptionally greedy smile on his face.

But this thing was not a human at all; it was an extremely special Ghost. Under the illumination of the golden ghost fire, the two baskets carried on the peddler's shoulder pole slowly opened a crack.

The ghost coins rolling on the ground seemed to have grown feet of their own, converging toward those baskets.

The moment he saw this person appear, Lin Feng understood that its strength was definitely not simple. He immediately transformed into his three-headed, six-armed state and summoned the Tanshi Gui.

"Eat! Eat!"

As soon as the Tanshi Gui appeared, it split into a large number of clones and ran toward the peddler Ghost, but any that got close to the peddler were indiscriminately collected into the baskets.

The terrifyingly powerful Tanshi Gui was actually unable to resist this attraction. Fortunately, the main body of the Tanshi Gui was relatively far away.

By the time the Tanshi Gui's clones were packed into those baskets, the connection between the Tanshi Gui and its clones was cut off directly.

"Die! Die! Die!"

However, the next moment, more clones emerged from the side of the street, each one opening its mouth wide and issuing intense, death-dealing curses at the peddler Ghost.

And under the strange impact of the Tanshi Gui, a rattle suddenly appeared in the peddler Ghost's hand.

"Dong dong dong~"

This rattle seemed to have the effect of interfering with the Tanshi Gui's curses. The two sides immediately began to stalemate, and the strange collision fell into a state where neither could do anything to the other.

"Monster, come to your death!"

Lin Feng, multitasking, instantly transformed into a streak of golden fire and intercepted the goat herder. If he had been any later, the man really would have made it into the pawnshop.

Lin Feng did not want to get close to the pawnshop that could contend with that giant hand. In mid-air, the Ruyi Golden Cudgel instantly elongated, wrapped around the goat herder's body, and then yanked him violently backward.

Seeing himself getting further and further away from the pawnshop, the goat herder immediately began to struggle frantically; his immense strength and copper-skinned, iron-boned body made him look just like a humanoid wild ox.

But once bound by the Golden Cudgel, no matter how he struggled, it was to no avail, and his distance from Lin Feng began to shrink.

Soon, he was forcibly dragged in front of Lin Feng, and a fist slammed down onto his head with a boom.

Lin Feng himself possessed the strength of a limit-breaking Martial Dao Grandmaster, and with the powerful augmentation of the Play Ghost, the terrifying punch collided directly with the man's head.

"Bang! Bang!"

"Ang~ Roar!!"

Lin Feng had managed to unleash the power of a dragon's roar and a tiger's howl from a single Dragon-Subduing and Tiger-Felling Fist. The goat herder finally had his neck bone snapped, his brains shattered, and his chest cavity broken by Lin Feng.

Logically speaking, he should have been dead beyond a doubt, but this guy was still struggling desperately and had not truly died.

It seemed that for him, physical death was not a fatal wound. Thus, Lin Feng adjusted his method, and a large amount of ghost fire surged from all around toward the goat herder, beginning to burn his body frantically.

"Ah~"

Finally, after a miserable scream, the charred corpse stopped struggling, and the Ghost within its body seemed to fall into a state of dormancy.

At this time, the heavy-armored Paper Men swung by Lin Feng also slaughtered all those human-like monsters.

This allowed the old Daoist, who had almost been surrounded and killed, to finally catch his breath. However, when he saw the scene around him, he couldn't help but gasp.

"Hiss~ This madman is actually this fierce!"

The confrontation between the Tanshi Gui and the peddler Ghost had still not ended. This Ghost's strength was extraordinary, and the Tanshi Gui was faintly falling into a disadvantage while opposing it.

Lin Feng used red paper money to wrap and suppress the goat herder's corpse into the shadow world, then directly raised the Ruyi Golden Cudgel and rode the sky-filling golden ghost fire to charge toward it.

Immediately, the suppression it had formed against the Tanshi Gui was forcibly broken by Lin Feng. The Ruyi Golden Cudgel fell and was blocked by its shoulder pole.

The golden ghost fire surged over and was collected into the baskets on its back; it looked as if Lin Feng was unable to do anything to it.

But the Tanshi Gui had quietly crawled behind it, opened its mouth wide, and bit down fiercely on its body!

This bite not only made the Ghost feel threatened, but it also disrupted its rhythm in opposing Lin Feng.

"Boom!"

Subsequently, the Ruyi Golden Cudgel swung down violently, knocking this Ghost flying on the spot.

Only, what Lin Feng never expected was that this thing actually took the opportunity to run away!

This Ghost gave Lin Feng the feeling that it wasn't a Ghost at all, but rather like a living person, possessing its own consciousness.

However, since it had already run away, Lin Feng couldn't be bothered to chase it. After turning around, Lin Feng discovered that a huge silhouette of a person was faintly appearing in the sky.

That terrifying hand was also constantly descending toward the pawnshop; it seemed the previous confrontation was about to reach a conclusion.

But just at this moment, a sound of "pitter-patter" from an abacus came from the pawnshop again, and even more terrifying eeriness began to spread from the pawnshop.

"Ooh~ oo~"

And then, just at this moment, the crowing of a rooster broke the silence, and subsequently, everything before Lin Feng's eyes began to slowly fade and disappear.

A yellow mud road slowly appeared under his feet. On both sides of the yellow mud road was thick, dark mist, and a hazy white light gradually appeared in the sky.

Soon, Lin Feng felt the thick mist around him dissipate, the yellow mud road under his feet gradually turned into an ordinary road, and the surrounding environment turned back into abandoned farmland.

Everything from last night seemed as if it had never happened, and the old Daoist was nowhere to be seen.

This made Lin Feng feel quite annoyed; that old guy still owed him a few talisman techniques. If he encountered him in the future, he would have to get them no matter what! ===== CHAPTER 82 =====
