Chapter 1343: Chapter 1310: An Irreversible Past

Yang Jian’s body rapidly blurred; this Meng Xiaodong had targeted him, attempting to use Yang Jian’s body as a medium to make him disappear from this world.

This supernatural erosion speed surpassed the attack Yang Jian encountered in Dachuan City several times over.

In almost an instant, Yang Jian’s body blurred until not even a shadow was left, but beneath his body was not a living person’s flesh, but eerie lake water that gathered into a human-shaped outline, with charred Ghost Hand and Ghost Eye attached to this outline of water.

Ghost Lake, Ghost Hand, Ghost Eye, these are true supernatural entities, irreplaceable.

That was the reason Yang Jian wasn’t killed immediately; he barely blocked such a supernatural attack.

“I see, you’ve already abandoned a living body to become a different kind of entity? In that case, it’s really a bit difficult to make you disappear. It’s a pity Luo Qian isn’t here; otherwise, he could have buried a fierce ghost like you.”

The old woman appearing around understood this immediately upon seeing the scene.

Yang Jian said nothing, opening his Ghost Eye to directly reboot himself, resisting this supernatural attack.

The next moment.

His physical condition reversed, with just a flash of red light, he appeared whole again right in front of them.

“I’m not so easy to kill; even though you have the advantage in numbers, you can’t crack my reboot.”

Although Yang Jian’s face was calm at this moment, he still felt apprehensive.

In that instant just now, he really doubted if he would disappear from this world.

Fortunately, having shed the bounds of humanity, he blocked such an attack using the ghost’s characteristic of being unkillable.

“In that case, there’s nothing to be done, I’m just an old lady not very good at confronting people; consider yourself lucky to meet me. If it had been anyone else, you’d be dead multiple times over by now.”

Meng Xiaodong exhaled lightly, seeming a bit helpless, not knowing if what she said was true or false.

But Yang Jian certainly wouldn’t believe her ghostly words.

The monsters from the Republic era might not be good at supernatural attacks, but the terror level they exude is enough for some means to be lethal.

“Since that’s the case, I’ll leave it to this to handle you.” Meng Xiaodong said, reaching her wrinkled old hand into the basket she carried with her.

Covered by a black cloth, it was unclear what was inside.

Hmm?

Yang Jian’s expression shifted.

At this moment, he saw the surrounding old women making the same shocking move, all reaching their hands into the basket.

Meng Xiaodong fumbled inside the basket covered by the black cloth, then smiled: “Found it.”

Quickly, she pulled out a doll from the basket.

This doll wasn’t clothed, its body was covered in various bruises like it had been badly beaten, yet at this moment, Meng Xiaodong manipulated the doll’s head, making it look at Yang Jian.

Upon seeing Yang Jian.

The doll immediately straightened its body as if it had come to life, its eyes eerily rolling around.

“Another doll? No, this isn’t a doll, this is a ghost I encountered in Dachuan City before.”

Yang Jian’s expression changed; he recognized this doll, and in fact, he still owns it, just doesn’t have it with him, having left it at home.

“But this doll is somewhat different from the one I had before…”

Observing again, he noticed that although each old woman held a similar-looking doll, there were subtle differences among them, they weren’t completely identical.

At this moment.

The dolls in the hands of these invading old women all targeted Yang Jian.

As soon as a doll’s gaze fixed on you, it triggered the killing routine of a fierce ghost.

Creak, creak.

The sound of joint twisting echoed densely, these dolls seemed to revive like fierce ghosts, breaking free from the old woman’s hands, all walking toward Yang Jian.

One, three, six… just a glance showed at least over twenty dolls, and their numbers kept increasing.

The dolls advanced, but in the sight of the Ghost Eye, they were no longer mere dolls but terrifying fierce ghosts of various forms.

These fierce ghosts invaded Yang Jian’s Ghost Domain, and even amidst the burning Ghost Flame, they were not ignited. Instead, the gathered fierce ghosts forcefully dispelled the surrounding Ghost Flame, preventing it from getting any closer at all.

Evidently, these dolls turned fierce ghosts are connected through some kind of supernatural means.

Each doll might not be particularly terrifying, but gathered together, they cause a certain qualitative change.

“I can’t let these ghostly things cling to me, otherwise I’ll be worn out alive here.”

Yang Jian’s expression tightened, and he no longer hesitated. The ground beneath his feet began to rapidly disappear.

A cold puddle replaced the solid ground.

And this puddle spread rapidly to the surroundings, soon transforming into a pond, and then gradually into a calm yet horrifying lake.

At this moment.

Yang Jian used the supernatural he harnessed as a medium to open a passage to the Ghost Domain of this world.

Beneath the calm water’s surface, numerous corpses emerged.

The approaching dolls hadn’t even gotten close when they found themselves losing their footing, falling into the lake water, and were quickly dragged into the deeper waters by countless cold, pale hands.

Ghost Lake can submerge all supernatural entities.

There were many dolls, but in the face of Ghost Lake, they were still insufficient. The dolls fell into the water one after another, vanishing swiftly from sight.

Yet Yang Jian still stood on the lake surface; his own supernatural power coincided with that of Ghost Lake, allowing him not to sink.

“Taiping Ancient Town’s Ghost Lake? Didn’t expect you still had tricks unused, but it seems you aren’t able to control this Ghost Lake.”

Meng Xiaodong’s old face turned cold, with nothing left around her to stand on, surrounded entirely by a silent lake of water.

The water began to soak her feet, her body starting to sink.

Yet she didn’t sink completely; the water only submerged her shoes before the sinking stopped.

It wasn’t just her; the other old women appearing around gradually experienced the same.

Moreover, as their numbers increased, Meng Xiaodong’s sinking began to reverse.

“Is this old woman’s supernatural power too terrifying for Ghost Lake to submerge her, or has the lake’s load of supernatural reached its limit?”

Seeing the old woman remain unharmed, Yang Jian couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

He knew that the Ghost Lake couldn’t completely deal with this old woman.

He hadn’t anticipated such a low effectiveness.

However, since the Ghost Lake was beyond control, anomalies began to appear at this moment.

The lake water started to surge, and more and more corpses emerged from the depths of the lake, drifting towards the people on the surface.

This kind of attack should originally have been indiscriminate.

However, Yang Jian noticed that the number of corpses converging towards him far exceeded those approaching Meng Xiaodong.

It seemed like he was being deliberately targeted.

“It’s about time; the number I’ve invaded should be enough to send you on your way.”

Suddenly, Meng Xiaodong began to move as well.

She ignored the Ghost Lake at her feet, stepping on the water as she approached Yang Jian.

Not just Meng Xiaodong; once she moved, all the old women around started moving too, converging on Yang Jian and quickly forming a circle to trap him inside, while the circle was rapidly shrinking.

Meanwhile, Yang Jian’s Ghost Domain was being compressed.

The sight of the Ghost Eyes was being blocked.

The space belonging to Yang Jian was getting smaller and smaller.

“Not good.”

Yang Jian felt a chill in his heart, a strong sense of crisis surged forth. He could sense that Meng Xiaodong’s most terrifying supernatural attack was about to come; the substitute doll and the terrifying puppet from before were apparently used by Meng Xiaodong just to stall for time.

The real killing move was the upcoming attack.

“Use a wide-range reboot one more time to escape her?”

Suddenly.

Yang Jian wanted to escape, but the thought was immediately suppressed.

Running was meaningless; at the next node, the same scene would unfold again, with no change whatsoever.

Now the Firewood Knife is useless, the Coffin Nail is useless, the Ghost Lake is useless, and as for Ghost Hand and Ghost Shadow, these supernatural powers were tried earlier, and they couldn’t even deal with one of the old women, so there was no point in trying them again.

“Bet everything on activating the Ninth Layer of the Ghost Domain?”

Yang Jian thought of this plan in his mind, but he also rejected it. The Ghost Domain of the Ghost Eyes doesn’t possess supernatural attacks, and even if the Ninth Layer is activated, it is likely similar to a reboot, probably to no avail.

Then his gaze fell on the nearby old woman whom he had just nailed in place with the Coffin Nail.

An idea popped into his mind.

“If the Ghost Child were to devour one of the Meng Xiaodong, would the Ghost Child then also possess the ability of Infinite Invasion? If successful, perhaps there’s a chance to reverse the odds.”

But just as he was contemplating.

Countless cold, wet arms already extended from beneath Yang Jian’s feet, grabbing his legs, a terrifying pulling force appearing, trying to drag him into the lake.

“Get off.”

Is the Ghost Lake trying to cause trouble now?

Without hesitation, he lifted the cracked long spear and swung it around.

The Firewood Knife cut through, severing all those cold, wet arms, the strange corpses in the water seemed to be severely injured, rolling and twitching violently, then rapidly drifting away, no longer approaching.

However, that was just one batch.

The densely packed corpses in the vicinity gathered around again, giving Yang Jian no time to catch his breath.

At this moment.

Countless Meng Xiaodong were also stepping on the water and closing in, and at this point, the surrounding light seemed to dim, even Yang Jian’s Ghost Eyes couldn’t illuminate everything around.

Suddenly.

The cold smile of the approaching Meng Xiaodong appeared again, her wrinkled old hand resting on Yang Jian’s body.

Yang Jian felt his body stiffen, an irreversible terrifying change appeared, but this change was indescribable, leaving one feeling creepy.

“Courting death.”

He was shocked and angry, swung the Firewood Knife down, wanting to split that Meng Xiaodong in half and break free from this touch.

But the Firewood Knife fell without any effect.

The substitute doll perfectly blocked such an attack.

And countless Meng Xiaodong have countless substitute dolls in their hands, rendering such supernatural attacks almost ineffective.

The burning Ghost Flame extinguished, and the surrounding Ghost Domain collapsed.

More and more old hands were resting on Yang Jian’s body.

Reboot!

Yang Jian unhesitatingly rebooted himself, both Ghost Eyes radiating red light, entering the reboot state himself.

But he discovered in horror.

No matter how he entered or exited the reboot state, the arms resting on his body did not disappear.

“It’s useless; you said I can lock a moment in the past, the moment I touched you, in the past there exist countless versions of me also touching you. No matter how you reboot, it’s useless. This game is over…” Meng Xiaodong said gloomily.

But she hadn’t finished speaking.

The second Coffin Nail appeared, and the cracked long spear pierced through her head, then she froze still.

“The second Coffin Nail?”

Aside, another Meng Xiaodong chuckled: “You’ve got quite the cards, but unfortunately your luck has worsened now. The thing I fear the least is this.”

“Lost?” Yang Jian entered the reboot state, unable to resist the supernatural invasion.

His body began to age, gradually being assimilated, seemingly about to turn into another Meng Xiaodong.

And what’s most terrifying, Yang Jian’s consciousness even felt the presence of another person.

This elderly person from the Republic of China era wanted to completely replace everything about Yang Jian, without even sparing his consciousness.
