Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 504: Chapter 249: Murder Ghost

”Huh?”

Chen Lengqiang’s words caused the little girl to show a strange expression on her face: ”Do you know me?”

”Stop pretending,” Chen Lengqiang said more coldly, ”this unique talent is hard not to recognize.”

”And besides you, who else would like to use someone else’s face? Next time, remember to change your body too.”

As his voice fell, the other three finally realized that although the little girl’s body was extremely thin, her bone structure was very broad. Those distinctly jointed fingers clearly belonged to an adult man’s hand!

”Hehe, I just don’t like my face, not that I don’t like my body.”

The little girl giggled, reaching up to tear off her own face. With a chilling ripping sound, her face peeled off like fragile paper, and as the remaining flesh was uncovered, a shadowy male face slowly emerged.

The man’s skin was extremely pale, almost sickly, with long eyelids, crooked features, and a strange smile on his face. He stammered slightly, ”Now that you’ve seen my face, we’re like good friends, right?”

Chen Lengqiang snorted coldly, ”Stop trying to act mysterious in front of me. Others might fear you, but we’re not afraid!”

”You escaping from Senior Xia’s hands was indeed beyond my expectations, but if it really comes down to a fight, do you truly think you can take on four of us by yourself?”

With that said, the silver glow on Chen Lengqiang’s arm transformed into a uniquely shaped long halberd, directly pointing at the sickly youth opposite him.

However, although Chen Lengqiang’s attitude was extremely tough, those familiar with him could tell he was all bark and no bite. His voice even contained a trace of fear that didn’t appear even when facing that Heroic Spirit senior!

This fact left Sofia, the woman from the Holy Office, feeling incredulous.

It’s known that Chen Lengqiang is always composed no matter what happens, and for that reason, even though the strongest among the four is the powerful Mechanician Shen Tianxie, everyone unanimously agrees with him as the team leader.

”Brother Shen, who is this person?” she secretly transmitted a message to the Mechanician in the group.

Shen Tianxie replied solemnly with just three words: ”Murder Ghost.”

Sofia was taken aback, and then her face also turned grim: ”That Traitor of the Civilization Envoy?”

Shen Tianxie nodded lightly.

Sofia took a deep breath. Even though she was a foreigner, she had heard this name before.

Murder Ghost Li Ge, the only Traitor among the twenty-nine people who obtained the Civilization Envoy title on Blue Star, once slaughtered thousands of fire seeds in the Ancient Trials to pass through. After that, to acquire resources, he continuously attacked and killed Awakened ones in the Abyss!

After rising all the way to King Tier, he not only didn’t restrain himself in the slightest, but committed several extermination cases on Blue Star, eventually prompting the government to send a Heroic Spirit to hunt him down!

Then there was no news of him; everyone thought he was dead, unexpectedly he would appear here!

Could it be that even the Heroic Spirit couldn’t do anything to him?

”Murder Ghost is different from those profit-driven Traitors. He kills for fun, sometimes even when killing brings no gain, or even a negative gain, he will take action as long as it piques his interest.”

”He’s like a beast with no sense of reason; communication has no effect. Only by hurting him and making him afraid can he retreat.”

Chi Feng, the man holding the Great Shield, joined the conversation.

Sofia fully understood, raising the long staff in her hand, her sky-blue eyes firmly locking onto the young man not far away, ready to attack at any moment.

It’s just... someone who even the Heroic Spirit couldn’t kill, could the four of them really be his match?

On the other hand, facing the hostile four, Murder Ghost seemed not to feel it at all, still standing there defenselessly, muttering ”ah, ah” from time to time.

Finally, as Chen Lengqiang began to grow impatient, Murder Ghost spoke again: ”Um, I just heard you say you have a map, could you lend it to me for a look?”

”I think you might not have figured out the current situation,” Chen Lengqiang said in a deep voice, ”you, a Murder Ghost whom everyone wants to kill. If others knew you were here, I don’t think those Heroic Spirit seniors would mind taking a government bounty along the way.”

”You wouldn’t think you’re at Heroic Spirit level just because you luckily trailed the senior all the way without getting discovered, did you?”

”That senior hasn’t gone far, and the aftershocks from us fighting would be enough to draw him back!”

However, in the face of Chen Lengqiang’s threats, Murder Ghost showed no reaction at all, instead mumbling to himself: ”Is that person really a Heroic Spirit?”

”What?” Chen Lengqiang was stunned, such a powerful existence, how could they not be a Heroic Spirit?

”If they are a Heroic Spirit, how come they didn’t notice me?” Murder Ghost laughed sinisterly, ”Even if they really are a Heroic Spirit, they’re not immortal, right? Maybe I really do have a chance?”

Chen Lengqiang found him utterly irrational; the gap between King Tier and Heroic Spirit was insurmountable. Even if he was a Civilization Envoy, thinking of leaping over Tier to kill a Heroic Spirit was sheer fantasy.

But just at this moment, Chen Lengqiang noticed that those sand and stones whipped up by the airwaves, as long as they got close to Li Ge, would be cut by some mysterious force.

That force was very strange, almost unnoticeable unless looked at carefully, yet it precisely decomposed each grain of sand into smaller particles!

”Brother.”

At this time, Shen Tianxie pulled him aside and shook his head slightly.

Chen Lengqiang glanced at the others, and also nodded gravely.
