At this moment.

On the calm Ghost Lake, Yang Jian sensed the intent of the King Organization to take action. He wanted to immediately go to support, but someone appeared in front of him, blocking his way, forcing him to temporarily give up the idea of support.

“Just you alone to deal with me?”

Yang Jian’s gaze was fixed on the person standing on the water’s surface not far away.

This person was very familiar to him, having dealt with him before. It was the Manor Lord, whom he had hunted down earlier. However, because of a previous transaction, the Manor Lord’s head had been returned, causing this powerful ghost master to resurrect once more.

But he wasn’t surprised by the Manor Lord’s appearance.

“I think our business from last time isn’t over yet.” The Manor Lord’s face was serious, with a heavy look in his eyes and lacking the confidence and arrogance of the first time.

Yang Jian glanced around and then sneered: “Looks like it’s really just you alone. If the King Organization wants to deal with me, at least three Kings must be deployed. You coming alone probably isn’t to kill me, just to stall me. After all, among your people, only you have fought with me and know my abilities and cards.”

“But your information is also exposed to me, so in this situation, what confidence do you have to keep me here? Aren’t you worried about being killed by me? Last time I didn’t kill you not because I couldn’t, but because you had intelligence and bargaining value. But now you have no value, and if you fall into my hands again, there’s no chance of survival.”

The Manor Lord’s gaze flickered: “Then you’d better pray you can kill me within three minutes, otherwise your teammates are doomed. Also, don’t overestimate yourself. Last time you succeeded because you had help from teammates. In a one-on-one situation, I’m sure you can’t win against me even in ten minutes.”

He appeared in front of Yang Jian not thinking he could defeat him, but believing he had no problem stalling Yang Jian for three minutes.

“I see, stall me for three minutes? No wonder you dare show up in front of me again, but you reminded me, you can stall me, yet I can also stall you without wasting my time trying to kill you.” Yang Jian said seriously.

“What?” The Manor Lord was a bit surprised.

Yang Jian no longer wanted to waste time. He merely shouted: “Bring him into the dream, bite him to death.”

In the next moment.

Reflected beneath the cold lake water was the shadow of an Evil Hound, with a huge body like a calf, entirely pitch black, like a gathering of black mist, giving an unreal feeling. Its eyes emitted a faint red glow, appearing extremely vicious.

The Evil Hound heard the command, then using the water as a medium, leapt from the reflection running into reality, transforming into a real Evil Hound. As soon as the hound appeared, it roared fiercely and charged at the Manor Lord.

“You’re only fit to waste time with my dog here. After I finish dealing with other things, I’ll come to kill you.” Yang Jian glanced over, no longer cared for the Manor Lord, and immediately turned to leave.

“Damn it.”

The Manor Lord, seeing Yang Jian’s intent, wanted to stop him, but Yang Jian instantly disappeared from his original spot, leaving him forced to handle the Evil Hound charging at him.

If Yang Jian wants to leave, the King can’t keep him, and similarly, if the King wants to flee, it’s also difficult for the other to keep them, unless both don’t want to escape and want to kill each other, then there’d be casualties.

The roars of the Evil Hound echoed on Ghost Lake.

The Manor Lord knew the hound’s ferocity because the Nightmare Castle was taken by this Evil Hound. If successfully dragged by the hound into a nightmare, even he could encounter misfortune. So the best approach is to intercept the hound, not letting it near himself.

No matter how the Manor Lord handles the hound, Yang Jian’s goal was achieved.

He successfully stalled the Manor Lord, allowing himself to smoothly extract and leave.

When Yang Jian reappeared, he reached the area He Yiner was responsible for because he needed to immediately confirm the situation with the Soul Summoner. After all, He Yiner’s intelligence was already leaked, the opponent might act against him first.

However, when Yang Jian arrived, he was a step late.

He saw that He Yiner successfully summoned a soul, as there stood a terrifying old man beside him. Surrounding the old man, the area had turned into a graveyard, with no end in sight, not knowing how many dangerous supernatural entities were buried.

“Did I come a step too late?” Yang Jian, holding a red spear, was ready to act anytime.

But there were no enemies around.

Indeed.

Having summoned the Sexton Luo Qian, during this time, He Yiner is in an almost invincible state. No one can surpass Luo Qian to kill the Soul Summoner, not even Yang Jian himself. After all, he witnessed the Sexton’s formidable nature during its peak in Baishui Town.

“Killed a few Kings?” Yang Jian asked.

“Two, one escaped.” He Yiner’s gaze remained fixed on a new grave ahead.

On this new grave stood a memorial tablet, inscribed with the words: Zhou Deng’s grave.

Obviously, Zhou Deng was buried by Luo Qian.

Upon hearing the death of two Kings, Yang Jian initially thought it was joyous news, but upon seeing the gravestone, his expression instantly darkened: “Zhou Deng died?”

“To protect my summoning, he alone held off three Kings’ attacks.” He Yiner’s mood seemed slightly low.

Ghost handlers’ emotions become faint, so He Yiner wouldn’t cry or feel overly saddened.

“How long has he been dead? I can restart and bring him back.” Yang Jian’s eyes flickered, immediately speaking.

He had restarted and saved Zhou Deng once, and such a technique he was familiar with, it’s not a difficult task.

He Yiner, hearing this, immediately brightened and looked at Yang Jian.

However, Luo Qian’s old and cold voice interrupted his beautiful conceit: “It’s too late, what’s already buried can’t be restarted and brought back.”

“Then just dig up the grave,” Yang Jian immediately responded.

He knew the presence of Grave Soil might affect the restart, so he had thought of a solution.

“When I say too late, I mean my time has come, and I do not recommend you doing this. A fierce ghost still resides in his consciousness, bringing him back is the same as bringing back an enemy. Just let all this be buried with me, it’s the best choice since he has already reached his limit.”

At this moment, Luo Qian’s form was swiftly disintegrating, his time as a Soul Summoner was up, and he could no longer use supernatural power.

Moreover, as he disappeared, the dreadful graveyard was vanishing along with him.

Yang Jian’s ghost eyes suddenly opened wide, as he attempted to activate the Eight Layer Ghost Domain to directly restart, to pull the dissipated Luo Qian back, or restart this region’s time to before the battle began, which would mean there was no need for Zhou Deng to pay the price with his life.

Red light spread, attempting to engulf everything.

Yet at this moment.

A wisp of darkness appeared within the red light, and then this darkness rapidly expanded, continually invading Yang Jian’s Ghost Domain, causing him terrible supernatural interference, unable to smoothly activate the Eight Layer Ghost Domain.

“Who?”

Yang Jian’s ghost eyes glared furiously, looking towards the direction of the darkness’s appearance.

Not far away, a man with a decaying face, a numb expression, standing motionless like a fierce ghost.

“It’s the King who escaped earlier, codenamed Captain, didn’t expect this guy hadn’t really escaped, he just avoided my Soul Summoning time.” He Yiner’s eyes flickered, immediately realizing the Captain’s purpose for appearing.

The King earlier didn’t want to not kill me, it was just my soul summon worked, and Luo Qian appeared, so he couldn’t kill me and temporarily retreated. But now the Soul Summoning time is over, so the Captain came again.

“I’ll handle him, you go support the others, there’s no need for you here temporarily.” Yang Jian didn’t hesitate at all and immediately moved forward.

If he didn’t drive this person away, or kill him, his restart would always be disrupted.

Next moment.

Wisps of Ghost Flame appeared out of thin air, igniting the surrounding darkness, then converging into a sea of fire engulfing everything nearby.

The King, codenamed Captain, was amid the Ghost Flame sea, burning fiercely.

However, Yang Jian noticed that the Ghost Flame, capable of igniting a fierce ghost, disappeared a few meters away from the Captain as though an invisible supernatural force blocked the flame from coming closer.

But Yang Jian didn’t expect a mere fire to kill a King, the burning was just to interfere with the opponent’s Ghost Domain, blocking his retreat.

“This strike will surely dismember the person in front of me.” Yang Jian wielded a red spear, using the Wishing Ghost’s supernatural power.

Yet, when his wish emerged, something unexpectedly terrifying occurred.

Blood kept flowing from the red spear along his fingers into his body, and within a mere blink, Yang Jian’s entire arm turned red, and it was spreading towards his body at rapid speed, so quickly that by the time Yang Jian reacted, his body was already mostly corroded.

He even felt a terrifying fierce ghost about to revive using his body.

What a joke?

Yang Jian felt astonished at this moment.

He only wished for a very simple wish.

To cut the person in front of him.

Not to kill the person in front.

Such a simple wish resulted in his body being majorly eroded by the Wishing Ghost’s supernatural power.

This situation could only indicate one reason.

The wish was exceptionally difficult to fulfill, so difficult that even the Wishing Ghost couldn’t easily accomplish it.

“Just what is this Captain codenamed guy?” Yang Jian at this moment doubted the Captain’s identity, thinking this person couldn’t possibly be an ordinary King, and must be hiding a huge secret.

The backlash of the Wishing Ghost was the best evidence.

However, there was no time to think about these, Yang Jian immediately used the Seven Layer Ghost Domain to restart himself, avoiding the Wishing Ghost’s supernatural erosion.

The Eight Layer Ghost Domain was sealed, but the Seven Layer Ghost Domain could still be used.

After all, the Seven Layer Ghost Domain only affected himself, with a smaller range of effect, whereas the Eight Layer Ghost Domain was supposed to affect a nearby area, making it unusually difficult.

After the self-restart, the self-erosion disappeared, and the Wishing Ghost’s wish began gradually realizing.

A terrifying and vague figure emerged before Yang Jian.
