Chapter 516: Chapter 544 Affected (1st Update)
Zhou Yan was confident in her punch; the ’Yan Yichen’ in front of her had absolutely no way to dodge it, as she had just observed that ’his’ strength and speed were a notch below hers, and she had the element of surprise on her side.
As for the master’s earlier warning, she had long forgotten it completely!
In her heart, she thought, ghosts are nothing special!
"Bang!" With a sound, Zhou Yan’s fist struck ’Yan Yichen’s waist, producing a dull thud like hitting solid wood.
"What’s going on?" She frowned as she dodged ’Yan Yichen’s lightning-fast counterattack, rubbing her fist and silently noting how hard it was.
Moreover, why had ’his’ speed suddenly increased so much!
At this moment, Zhou Yan didn’t care to think too much, continuing to combine punches and kicks toward ’Yan Yichen’, but the more she fought, the more shocked she became.
The pressure on the Taoist-robed elder instantly lessened significantly, but his face showed no sign of relief, instead becoming even more grave.
Everyone else, except Lin Xi, seeing Zhou Yan exuding such martial prowess, eased up a bit on their tension.
They secretly thought that seemingly together, the master and Zhou Yan could handle this entity on the verge of becoming a fierce ghost.
But is a ghost really that feeble?
This thought emerged again in everyone’s minds, because ghosts are deemed invincible to ordinary people, unless you know methods to restrain ghosts or belong to the Maoshan sect...
Yet the current scene led them to bury these doubts deep within.
To them now, any method to deal with this ghost would assure their safety.
The Taoist-robed elder chanted some unintelligible incantations while swinging the Peach Wood Sword, attacking ’Yan Yichen’ with a nimble body technique, occasionally hitting ’him’, although the strikes seemed light, they emitted a ’pss pss pss’ sound with tendrils of black smoke curling up with each impact.
And ’Yan Yichen’s face showed anger and pain.
But ’his’ focus in dealing with their attacks mainly lay on the Taoist-robed elder; ’he’ seemed to pay little attention to Zhou Yan’s assaults, even though her attacks were sharper.
Beside them, Lin Xi’s eyes narrowed; indeed, this ghost not only surpassed ordinary people in strength and speed, but his key ability lies in influencing emotions and inducing illusions.
The emotional influence was evident from Zhou Yan’s increasingly frantic attack rhythm, and the illusions were apparent from the distinct shift between Zhou Yan’s initial and subsequent fist and kick attempts; it was becoming increasingly difficult for her to hit ’Yan Yichen’.
Others struggled to react promptly, deeming it normal because Zhou Yan’s attack methods were incredibly fierce, appearing vigorous and powerful throughout; it seemed one more hit on ’Yan Yichen’ would resolve the issue, yet they failed to notice a changed look in Zhou Yan’s eyes.
Regarding Lin Xi, he also discovered that the ghost was completely unconcerned about Yan Yichen’s bodily damage potentially leading to a substantial drop in its power...
Apparently, only the Taoist-robed elder’s Peach Wood Sword seemed to pose any threat to him.
If that’s the case, ordinary attacks are ineffective against ’him’.
Having concluded these points, Lin Xi observed as the Taoist-robed elder was increasingly on the back foot, seemingly in a perilous state, and felt he couldn’t delay intervening any longer; otherwise, the Taoist master would be doomed first.
Yet, as he prepared to step forward, the fight scenario abruptly changed, leaving him momentarily stunned.
The two police officers and Master Li beside him all stood gaping, entirely disbelieving the unfolding scene.
Suddenly Zhou Yan, who was fiercely battling ’Yan Yichen’, switched direction to attack the Taoist master nearby.
Luckily, the Taoist master seemed to have anticipated it, dodging Zhou Yan’s swift kick, but everyone broke into a cold sweat.
Had that kick landed, the elderly master’s would have likely seen most of his strength instantly drained!
At that point, everyone here would probably end up in a dire situation.
The Taoist-robed elder broke into a cold sweat, feeling apprehensive, he didn’t expect Zhou Yan’s strength to be so formidable.
Nor did he anticipate how quickly she would be enchanted by the female ghost, mistaking him for the ghost, thus attacking him.
"This is bad now!" The Taoist-robed elder harbored some despair; he couldn’t handle one, and now a stronger one had appeared, thinking today was the day he would die!
Because the Peach Wood Sword and his Taoist techniques were utterly ineffective against Zhou Yan, in physical combat and body strength, how could he possibly compete with her!
It must be noted that Zhou Yan’s skills rival those of special forces!
While fighting the female ghost, it was the suppression from Taoist methods and the Peach Wood Sword that prevented the ghost from unleashing full strength, allowing the elder to spar with ’him’ briefly.
"Hahaha..." ’Yan Yichen’ let out a bone-chilling sound from his throat, "You’re all going to die; none of you can escape!"
Speaking to this point, ’his’ cold gaze shifted toward Master Li, making Li almost fall back in shock.
The Taoist elder’s face hardened, realizing there wasn’t time to think, he immediately bit his tongue to spray blood on the Peach Wood Sword, directing the others urgently,
"Run quickly, or we’ll all die here!"
Master Li and the two police officers couldn’t help but look toward Lin Xi; Li’s undecided nature and prior experiences of Lin Xi’s intervention had ingrained trust.
As for the two police officers, they were Zhou Yan’s entourage, familiar with Lin Xi, knowing he was formidable too.
Thus at such crucial times, they instinctively shifted the decision-making to Lin Xi.
"No one will die tonight, and none of you need to run; just watch from the side!" Lin Xi spoke calmly.
To others, there seemed no trace of fear or anxiety.
Could he really have a solution?
But hearing these words made the Taoist elder almost cough blood in anger, as he was evading Zhou Yan’s attacks while confronting ’Yan Yichen’; he was expending his life force to hold back one human, one ghost.
Unexpectedly, this unfamiliar young kid dared say such words, completely disregarding his warnings.
He couldn’t help but shout, "Don’t blame me for not warning you, a ghost isn’t defeated with numbers or violence!"
"Isn’t your Officer Zhou skilled in combat?"
The two police officers nodded, agreeing with the master that their captain was a top combatant in their group, even among the best in the office.
Now, she is disoriented!
Apparently, dealing with ghosts requires the right professional skills.
Despite this, they hesitated to leave Captain Zhou alone; if the chief found out, they would face severe consequences!
Master Li was also wavering in his decision!
Lin Xi didn’t respond to them, but directly stepped forward, reaching out to grab Zhou Yan’s arm.
