I Am Your Natural Enemy

Chapter 474: Chapter 194: Stuck in Progress, My Yang Energy (5k)_2

In the blink of an eye, the Big Head Ghost, the Red Skirt Ghost, the Green-faced Evil Spirit who had just burst out of the ground and was about to grab the little girl, and the little girl herself, all disappeared from where they stood.

The blood-colored smoky haze rising from the Red Skirt Ghost instantly dissipated.

An ordinary village, houses lined up one after another, with each family of ghosts living in every single one.

At the very center was a wide road, leading straight to the village center’s open-air opera stage.

And behind the two rows of houses on either side were even more courtyards, stretching out endlessly, so far that it was impossible to tell just how many homes there were, or how many ghosts lived inside.

The Big Head Ghost sat alone on the stage, overlooking everything below.

The Red Skirt Ghost’s face changed dramatically as he watched what was happening.

”Domain!”

He looked back and saw Chen Qimo still standing there, with the Green-faced Evil Spirit’s face twisted in a vicious grin, reaching for Chen Qimo.

Just as the Red Skirt Ghost was about to move, a surge of pure yang energy suddenly burst from Chen Qimo, stopping the Green-faced Evil Spirit’s sharp claws a foot away.

Pure yang energy instantly burned the Green-faced Evil Spirit’s claws pitch-black.

The Green-faced Evil Spirit’s expression changed dramatically—this little girl’s yang energy was many times stronger than the first time he’d seen her!

This time, he figured it out clearly. Such a powerful yang energy couldn’t possibly belong to this skinny girl—it had to be from some guy with freakishly high yang energy, who’d somehow shared some of it with the girl.

The Green-faced Evil Spirit’s eyes flickered, and he immediately shouted deeper into the village.

”Let me out! I’ll go draw away the Scorching Sun Department’s lapdogs.”

Seeing that the Big Head Ghost on the stage ignored him, the Green-faced Evil Spirit quickly rushed to the village center, stretched out a charred claw, and let the Big Head Ghost bite off one of his hands in a single chomp.

The Big Head Ghost shot the Green-faced Evil Spirit a look and let out a chilly chuckle. Of course he knew the Green-faced Evil Spirit had tried to steal his prey, failed, and now just wanted to escape.

He thought about it for a second, considered, then nodded.

”Fine.”

The Green-faced Evil Spirit breathed a sigh of relief and hurried off the other side of the stage.

As he stepped down from the stage, his figure vanished from the domain.

This was the rule of the domain. The Green-faced Evil Spirit had seen it before, so he knew how to survive.

On the neighborhood street, the Green-faced Evil Spirit emerged from underground, his body growing larger and larger. Once he fully returned to his original shape, he was considered truly out of the domain.

He glanced around in every direction, pried up a stone slab over the drainage ditch, and jumped inside, disappearing without a trace.

As for ”drawing away” the Scorching Sun Department—everyone knew what was really going on.

He wanted to run; the Big Head Ghost wanted him to run. As long as the Scorching Sun Department noticed him, part of their people would be distracted, making it easier for the Big Head Ghost to escape later.

What the Green-faced Evil Spirit didn’t know was that when the alarm went off, the first ones to arrive were field agents—though not the best in combat, their jobs rarely involved fighting.

Three people were already watching this place, each using their own methods.

There were also special devices, already trained on the scene, that could capture ghosts.

The instant the Green-faced Evil Spirit leaped into the sewer, the intelligence was reported immediately. The information department pulled up the map and marked out every possible route that sewer could lead to.

The Minister of Central Plains County stood in the command hall, staring at the image on the big screen, his face dark as an iron pan.

Right then, his phone rang.

When he saw who was calling, his face got even darker.

”Damn it, bad luck!”

He rejected the call directly.

A few seconds later, the phone rang again. The Minister of Central Plains County picked it up, grinding his teeth.

”Cai Heizi, you son of a bitch—are you crazy?! I’m working! Quit calling me, what the hell do you want!”

On the other side, Cai Qidong almost choked.

”Li Jianjun! Screw you! I’m giving you a chance to apologize right now. If you don’t, I’ll hang up, and don’t come crying to me later!”

Li Jianjun was stunned for a second. Hearing Cai Qidong’s confident tone, and after recalling briefly, he softened his own tone a bit.

”I’m busy, an emergency just popped up, don’t have time to mess around. Whatever it is, let’s talk later.”

”What I need to say is exactly about now!”

”Tsk...” Li Jianjun sucked in a cold breath, checked the time—it’d only been a few minutes, and Cai Qidong already knew?

His first thought was: does Cai Qidong have a screw loose? So what if I offended you once, are you really watching me all the time, just waiting to trip me up?

But then, thinking about it, as much as Cai Heizi was annoying, he wouldn’t sabotage him at a time like this.

So, that means...

Li Jianjun hesitated, holding the phone, and stepped outside.

”Ahem, Cai, you already know, huh? Then you must know I’m crazy busy right now.”

”Heh, you change your face faster than you take off your pants.”

”Cai, if there’s something you want to say, hurry up! This is urgent—just got the news half a minute ago, those ghosts suddenly disappeared on the spot. You should know what that means.”

”Does Qin Kun know?”

”Of course he does, why?”

”Don’t say I never look out for you; business is business.Qin Kun’s junior, Wen Yan, is the most talented martial artist at Fuyu Mountain’s current generation—even more gifted than Qin Kun.He’s on his way to Central Plains County now, should be arriving soon.”

Li Jianjun was a bit surprised—he knew exactly how strong Qin Kun was.
