Chapter 1428 - 1395: Ah Hong's Assault

Li Jun sensed the unusual aura nearby. He stopped in his tracks, fixing his gaze on the foreign man in front of him, wearing a cowboy hat and carrying an old double-barreled shotgun on his back.

Although it was their first meeting, the hostility was evident.

“King Organization’s people?” Li Jun’s face was grim, his tone equally unyielding.

Leuk San glanced around: “There’s more than one person, several hidden ghost hunters nearby. They probably know they can’t shake our pursuit, so they’ve decided to stop here in this town to engage us, likely aiming to quickly eliminate us before attracting others.”

He analyzed the situation while observing the surroundings of this road.

Nearby rooftops were sparsely populated with several people exuding a cold aura. These individuals, both male and female, seemed to number only five, suggesting they were a small squad.

The leader, however, was likely this man in front of them.

“Unfortunately, I am just a paper figure here; if I were here personally, Li Jun and I could join forces. Two captains would be enough to eliminate everyone here. The opposition might have noticed this, so they dared to stop and wait for Li Jun. This situation isn’t favorable. Knowing Li Jun is a captain, yet daring to stop and counterattack, it’s clear this foreign man with a cowboy hat is very likely a King.”

“A King bringing a squad in covertly obviously aims for sabotage; the attack on Dafu City official Ma Jun was probably their doing.”

Leuk San squinted slightly, estimating from his previous location that these people had likely planned to slip away after taking out Ma Jun, only to be sensed by Li Jun.

Originally, after killing an official, they didn’t intend to entangle further, hoping to retreat but realized the pursuer was only Li Jun, a captain, prompting thoughts of counterattack.

“In this situation, calling for reinforcements won’t be timely. Once things start, it will definitely be a life-and-death battle, ending within a minute.”

Realizing this, Leuk San glanced at Ah Hong beside him.

A single look conveyed much.

“We have to fight for our lives, or we won’t survive today,” Ah Hong’s heart sank, understanding the intention of Leuk San’s paper figure.

Li Jun also realized the challenging circumstances, speaking in a low voice: “Protect Ah Hong, I’ll deal with these people here.”

Leuk San was startled, understanding Li Jun’s plan.

If necessary, Li Jun would cover for the two, letting Leuk San’s paper figure lead Ah Hong to escape.

“You’re correct; we are indeed from the King Organization. Let me introduce myself, I’m Simon. I know you three, you’re Li Jun, the one over there is Leuk San, and the lady should be Ah Hong. Two captains with one officer make for a dangerous combination.”

Simon adjusted his cowboy hat: “However, my intelligence tells me Leuk San is still in Dadong City, not with others. I guess the Leuk San here is fake. If I’m wrong, perhaps staying was a mistake—if correct, then apologies, but you all must die here today.”

“Taking down a captain, the supernatural circle’s reaction must be interesting.”

“Killing a King, wiping out a King’s Squad, our headquarters would be very pleased,” Li Jun replied coldly, stepping forward two paces.

His motion caused the ghost hunters on nearby rooftops to become tense, chilling aura intensifying, lowering the surrounding temperature by several degrees.

A clash between a King and a captain, the pinnacle of supernatural collision, was most dangerous for them.

Though their skills weren’t weak, well-regarded as ghost hunters, they lagged behind the captains, and in the supernatural conflict, even a small gap could be fatal.

“Hope your mouth remains tough later on, don’t end up like the last officer, dying in an instant.”

Simon’s slightly raised head revealed dark eyes glimmering faintly green, like an Evil Ghost spying on the living.

Li Jun remained silent, targeting coldly, staring at these figures, while sticky blood seeped from the hideous wound on his face, dripping to the ground.

Sticky blood flowed on the ground, seeming to gather.

This was a sign of some supernatural occurrence.

Take action!

Simon wouldn’t give Li Jun time to prepare or the opportunity to call for aid, now revealing a cold smile.

Almost instantly, the Ghost Domain spread out, enveloping the entire town.

The town at night was already somber, but with the Ghost Domain’s arrival, every light in the town flickered a few times then went out, the air filled with a cold haze, amidst which a pair of light green eyes stood out.

Simon remained unchanged, preferring assault rather than passive defense.

“Let’s take a shot at you first.”

He held a double-barreled shotgun, old and seemingly abandoned for centuries, bearing marks of corrosion from time, inherently ominous and disastrous, cursed.

This item wasn’t meant for humans, but for ghosts.

The black cloth wrapped like a bullet was forcibly loaded into the shotgun.

Ghost Domain locked, Li Jun’s position exposed, nowhere to escape.

A gunshot rang aloud.

At this moment, the old shotgun unexpectedly backfired, foul, cold atmosphere scattering around, echoing with the eerie screams of trapped vengeful spirits, compelling one to cover their ears, afraid to listen.

“Damn,” Simon’s expression changed dramatically.

Around the backfire, the grotesque twisted forms of vengeful spirits began to consolidate. The vengeful spirit previously trapped as a shotgun bullet now broke free; in such circumstances, those closest to the shotgun were most at risk.

Simon was affected, his arm decaying, the flesh on his face peeling off, his whole being resembling a rotten corpse, extremely sinister and terrifying, and this process was irreversible because the supernatural powers were corroding him.

It’s important to know that this bullet was specially prepared for the captain.

A shot that can hunt the captain is bound to cause him immense harm.

Simon dared not hesitate, afraid that Li Jun would strike at this moment, so he used the Ghost Domain to quickly retreat, disappearing from the spot in the blink of an eye, retreating to the end of the street.

But even so, the decay on his body had not stopped, only the speed of decay was slower than before.

Because part of the supernatural had already entered his body along with the explosion.

“Take them down.”

At this moment, the squad Simon brought also made their move, their target was not Li Jun, but Ah Hong beside Li Jun and Leuk San, who was a paper figure, as long as they killed these two people, the suspense of the battle would be very small.

“I’ll block them.”

Leuk San seemed to have foreseen this and blocked in front of Ah Hong. Although he himself was just a paper figure, he also inherited the same supernatural powers, but this supernatural power was not as strong as the original body.

However, one paper figure was not enough to contend with this King’s Squad.

In just a glance, Leuk San’s chest was torn open by a pair of eerie hands, and a strange human head emerged from his chest cavity, then let out a sinister laugh.

“It is indeed a paper figure, you’re doomed.” The head that came out of his chest spoke, obviously this was a ghost envoy, sneaking into a living person’s body to tear them apart alive without being noticed.

Other supernatural attacks also fell on Leuk San.

His legs sunk into the ground beneath, unable to break free, not knowing when the ground, originally solid, had turned into a viscous mud, and once trapped inside, he felt something in the mud clutching his legs tightly, weighing him down, pulling him down, wanting him to submerge deep into this swamp of mud.

Moreover, Leuk San’s arms also suffered terrifying supernatural attacks, directly shattering and breaking without any chance of repair.

The ghost envoy of this King’s Squad considered Leuk San a threat and therefore wanted to use the first wave of supernatural attacks to completely eliminate him, giving no chance for him to catch his breath, lest any mishaps occur later.

Their idea was not wrong.

And the first wave of attack also succeeded.

Leuk San’s paper figure was now shattered, no longer having the strength for resistance, easily taken down, even some members of the King’s Squad were a bit surprised because this didn’t seem like the strength a captain should have.

Even though this Leuk San in front was fake, it shouldn’t have been so easy to be eliminated.

“All attacks have been intercepted, what a pity, you chose the wrong person, the real threat is not me.” But Leuk San was laughing at this moment.

He felt his paper figure was worth it, attracting enough firepower, successfully delaying time, and ensuring another person’s safety.

“I’ll deal with them.” Ah Hong’s voice sounded, she set down the makeup box in her hand.

The ghost makeup was completed.

The multicolored strange paint applied to her face transformed Ah Hong into a completely different person, her face darkened, and her aura chilled, surprisingly turning into Wei Jing, code-named Ghost Envoy.

Indeed.

Ah Hong used the ghost makeup to transform into Wei Jing.

Not only did her appearance change but also her supernatural abilities; before the ghost makeup was removed, she possessed sixty percent of Wei Jing’s supernatural power.

The reason for choosing to transform into Wei Jing was because Wei Jing’s supernatural powers were simple and brutal, mindless supernatural suppression even a novice would know how to utilize, if she transformed into Yang Jian, Wang Chaling, Li Leping, and other captains, there would be no way to instantly wield their supernatural powers.

Moreover, Wei Jing’s supernatural powers could coordinate with Li Jun now.

“Ghost Envoy Wei Jing?”

A member of the King’s Squad’s face changed immediately upon seeing Ah Hong’s makeup.

“I’ll kill you first.” In the ghost makeup state, Ah Hong knew she had limited time to act, without hesitation, the pitch-black Ghost Domain expanded straight towards the ghost envoy.

“Not good.” The ghost envoy intended to flee.

But it was too late.

The darkness came, ignoring Simon’s Ghost Domain, directly enveloping them within, the supernatural suppression of Ghost Envoy Wei Jing rendering them unable to use any supernatural power.

The next moment.

A scream echoed in the darkness.

Soon after, a cold corpse was thrown out of the darkness by Ah Hong.

“Next one.”

The darkness, like an abyss, able to devour anyone, spread over and terrified the remaining four squad members, wanting desperately to retreat at once.

The supernatural power displayed by Ah Hong at this moment was already comparable to a captain’s, dealing with them was simply too easy, even though this power was temporary, it was more than sufficient to kill them.
