Chapter 187: Blood-Red Malevolent Spirit
The sight before Master Jiang and the Night Watch members caused their expressions to change drastically. They knew the formidable strength of the figure within the Ghost Building, but they had no precise gauge of just how powerful she was.
However, from the current situation, they realized they had clearly underestimated the strength of this figure within the Ghost Building.
Typically, the primary attack method of evil spirits is to create powerful illusions to confuse their targets, thus achieving their goals. While the Yin Qi they release possesses some attack and defensive capabilities, it is relatively weak and not particularly effective.
But now, the figure within the Ghost Building had clashed head-on with Deng Feng, the Burial Master, using Yin Qi. This was something that an evil spirit simply couldn\'t achieve.
In other words, the strength of the figure within the Ghost Building had surpassed the realm of evil spirits!
Seeing her attack blocked by the grimacing face, Deng Feng showed no surprise on his face, as if everything was within his expectations.
He sneered coldly as Yin Qi surged around him. His bone blade swiftly swung, and several blade lights pierced through the air, appearing instantly in front of the grimacing face.
The grimacing face hadn\'t anticipated Deng Feng\'s attack to be so fierce. It was only the second round, yet it had already consumed a considerable amount of Yin spirit power to parry several strikes.She spat out another mouthful of Yin Qi, managing to block only one strike. But then the second, third, and fourth strikes came one after another. She had no time to mount a defense, and her entire grimacing face was directly cut into pieces by the blade lights!
The grimacing face dissipated into Yin Qi, but Deng Feng didn\'t intend to stop there. The cold smile on his face deepened, and his bone blade swung once again!
This time, his target was the three-story Ghost Building before him!
The blade light, carrying a domineering aura of destruction, struck the Ghost Building. With a loud bang, not only did the Ghost Building shatter into pieces, but even the ground below it was split open, leaving a deep trench!
Dust filled the air as a large number of undead escaped from the shattered Ghost Building. However, before they could fully emerge from the dust, they were dispersed by the terrifying force unleashed by the blade light, leaving their souls scattered and fleeing.
This scene startled Yang Haoran and the other Night Watch members. Their faces turned pale, filled with shock and disbelief!
Their astonishment wasn\'t due to the terrifying strength unleashed by Deng Feng. With Deng Feng\'s power as a Heaven Soul, coupled with a Soul Weapon in hand, his destructive power was undoubtedly astonishing, which wasn\'t surprising.
What truly shocked them was that Deng Feng\'s strike not only affected the higher-level ghosts but also implicated ordinary undead. Every single one of them met with a fate of scattered souls, with no chance of reincarnation or rebirth!
They were Underworld Envoys, primarily tasked with guiding and subduing ghosts. If ghosts above undead resisted and refused to accept sanctions, killing them wasn\'t a big deal, as they brought it upon themselves.
But ordinary undead were different. Even Underworld Envoys couldn\'t casually exterminate them. Doing such things discreetly was one matter, but doing it openly in front of so many witnesses was audacious.
And Deng Feng\'s actions at this moment couldn\'t be described as anything but audacious. With one strike, he obliterated hundreds or even thousands of ordinary undead, denying them any chance of reincarnation. Such madness surpassed mere boldness.
Moreover, Deng Feng was doing all this openly in front of all the Night Watch members present. He showed no intention of concealing his actions.
Why would he do this?
Wasn\'t he afraid of the repercussions of his actions being discovered?
Yang Haoran observed everything and couldn\'t help but feel a chill in his heart at Deng Feng\'s actions. He couldn\'t help but speculate!
Deng Feng probably didn\'t intend to let any of the Night Watch members present here leave alive!
Although he still didn\'t know Deng Feng\'s purpose in bringing the Night Watch members here, based on Deng Feng\'s actions at this moment, he felt his speculation wasn\'t without reason.
Engaging in such madness, the potential consequences for Deng Feng were evident if news of his actions were to spread. Yet, not only did he carry them out openly before all the Night Watch members, but he also appeared completely unconcerned. From this, Yang Haoran speculated that Deng Feng might not have even considered letting any of the Night Watch members present here leave alive. Hence, his audacity knew no bounds!
Not all the Night Watch members had realized this at the moment; some were still in shock and hadn\'t connected Deng Feng\'s actions with their lives.
However, not all the Night Watch members were oblivious; some, like Master Jiang, began to harbor suspicions similar to Yang Haoran\'s, feeling that something was amiss.
Master Jiang was one of them. Recalling the text Yang Haoran had secretly sent him earlier, he too realized the severity of the situation.
At that moment, as the dust settled, a figure emerged, gradually becoming visible amidst the swirling haze.
With a wave of her hand, the eerie wind intensified, dispersing the remaining dust, revealing her complete form.
She was a young girl, appearing slightly younger than Deng Feng. Her features were delicate, yet her face was twisted with a ferocious expression, resembling a juvenile beast.
Upon closer inspection, one would notice that her body was not physical but rather a soul, a characteristic unique to ghosts. However, unlike ordinary ghosts, her soul was remarkably solid, resembling a living person\'s flesh.
Even compared to powerful evil spirits, her solidity surpassed expectations. Duda\'s formidable guardian yin spirit known as the cracked-face woman, was considered one of the strongest among evil spirits. However, the disparity between her soul and the girl\'s was substantial.
The girl was clad in blood-red garments, seemingly soaked in blood, with fresh drops continually dripping from her attire, leaving a trail of blood as she advanced towards Deng Feng\'s location. However, this blood wasn\'t real; upon touching the ground, it swiftly transformed into Yin Qi and dissipated.
Though the girl\'s fierce countenance exuded savagery and bloodlust, unlike other ghosts with mutilated features, her facial features were intact.
Logically, such a girl, despite her ferocious appearance, would not be enough to intimidate Night Watch members like Master Jiang.
However, reality proved otherwise. Once they beheld the girl\'s face clearly, the complexion of Master Jiang and the other Night Watch members changed drastically. Some even displayed a hint of fear in their eyes!
All their gazes were fixed on the girl\'s crimson eyes!
These were blood-red eyes, akin to two ruby gems embedded in her eye sockets. For the Night Watch, who dealt with ghosts daily, the significance of these blood-red eyes was crystal clear!
The eyes of evil spirits manifested as milky-white; no matter how powerful the evil spirit, this trait remained unchanged. Only when their strength surpassed that of evil spirits did their eyes undergo a transformation, shifting from milky-white to blood-red!
Once an evil spirit\'s eyes turned from milky-white to blood-red, it signified a transition from evil spirit to a higher-level entity: a malevolent spirit!
The girl before them emanated formidable power, far beyond what an evil spirit could possess. Coupled with her blood-red eyes, the Night Watch members suddenly gained a new understanding of her identity!
This girl was a malevolent spirit even more powerful than an evil spirit!
While ordinary people may collectively label mischievous ghosts as malevolent spirits, that was merely a colloquial term. Not all evil ghosts warranted the title of malevolent spirit. Only entities like the girl before them, with blood-red eyes filled with vengeance, qualified as malevolent spirits!
Malevolent spirits possessed all the abilities of evil spirits and had the additional power to manipulate objects, a capability that eluded evil spirits.
Furthermore, the Yin Qi they released not only possessed formidable destructive power but also formidable defensive capabilities, surpassing those of evil spirits.
In the presence of a true malevolent spirit, even the mightiest evil spirit was merely an ant!
