"Hehe!"

A chilly laughter suddenly came from the ground. At the very moment of the clay figurine's death, the scent of blood in the air suddenly intensified. A red blood demon suddenly drilled out from the ground, extending its dark red sharp claw and lunged directly for the ghost servant's face.

The now more powerful ghost servant faced the attack of the red blood demon without fear. Instead, he courageously moved forward, swung his soul knife overhead, and struck the red blood demon.

The soul knife shot out blade aura. Coupled with the blade formation, it slashed the air, creating thunderous sounds.

At the same time, the clay figurine was suddenly moved aside, revealing a hole.

Following that, a martial artist leaped out from the ground, fiercely swung out his iron palm, and smashed it towards the ghost servant.

This muscular and alert martial artist was none other than Li Jinyu who had fled earlier.

Li Jinyu evidently cultivated some kind of wicked martial arts, his palms registered a blood-red color, emitting a blood qi that was almost the same as that released by the blood demon.

The ghost servant turned quickly, redirected his soul knife and swung at Li Jinyu.

Li Jinyu didn't dare to confront it head-on and hastily dodged backward.

The ghost servant retrieved his knife charge, and renewed his attack on the red blood demon. He immediately blocked the red blood demon's ghost claw.

A smile appeared on Xiao Mu's face as he directly attached a fire talisman to the peach wood sword.

"Mr. Mu, leave the martial artist to me."

Qing Songzi jumped out and with the aid of qinggong, swiftly joined the battle. He waved the wind and thunder palm, striking towards Li Jinyu.

Li Jinyu's face darkened, so he had no choice but to give up attacking the ghost servant. He receded and waved the blood palm, engaging in combat with Qing Songzi.

Because of the confined space within the ruined temple, the two men and two ghosts quickly moved outside onto the threshing field and began a fierce battle.

With a whoosh, Xiao Mu shot out a True Fire Talisman, joining in the battle. The flame cone burned towards the red blood demon.

Seeing this, the twisted ghost face of the red blood demon changed, and it tried to retreat to avoid Xiao Mu's flame cone.

Bang!

The ghost servant, rich in battle experience, would not allow the red blood demon to escape. He simultaneously unleashed the blade aura and the blade formation, coupled with the soul knife, blocking the red blood demon's retreat.

Squelch!

With its retreat blocked, the red blood demon was hit by the flame cone, letting out a horrible shriek.

Bang!

Squelch!

The ghost servant used the soul knife to strike while the iron was hot, slashing his knife across the chest of the red blood demon. With the simultaneous use of the blade formation and blade aura, the red blood demon was almost sliced open by a single strike.

Xiao Mu took the opportunity to throw another flame cone.

"Argh…"

The red blood demon could only let out a dull howl of pain before it vanished without a trace.

Power+7.

Xiao Mu casually collected the malicious energy and condensed it into a bead of evil energy.

The ghost servant still faithfully picked up the energy crystal.

Then, Xiao Mu looked over to Qing Songzi and Li Jinyu, who were still embroiled in battle.

The wicked martial art that Li Jinyu cultivated was by no means ordinary. As the battle continued, the bloody energy released from his crimson hands became increasingly potent.

Although Qing Songzi cultivated a top-ranked Thunder Attribute Inner Power Method and his martial technique was the top-ranked Thunder Attribute Wind and Thunder Palm, he was unable to suppress his opponent in a short period of time.

The moment the red blood demon was killed, Li Jinyu was clearly panicked. He used his palm violently in an attempt to repel Qing Songzi and seize the opportunity to escape.

Qing Songzi clearly noticed his opponent's intent, and gave him no chance, tightly entangling him.

"Mr. Qing Songzi, let me give you a hand."

After observing for a moment, Xiao Mu walked forward with his peach wood sword.

"Hehe!"

Li Jinyu, suddenly sneered in panic, retreated and defended with all his might, "One against two, what sort of hero is that? If you're capable, fight me one-on-one."

"Someone who betrays humanity like you is also worthy to speak like that?"

Xiao Mu sneered at the words, an expression of disdain on his face.

He couldn't think of any boundaries someone would cross to betray humanity and side with the evil ghosts.

"Ha-ha! Betray humanity? Ridiculous!"

Li Jinyu's face was full of scorn as if he heard the most absurd thing in the world, "Before the evil ghosts came, I was just a pitiful man that everyone despised, I had nothing. Friends distanced themselves from me, family left me, even the ugliest woman didn't want me."

"That's what humanity gave me."

Li Jinyu gritted his teeth as if filled with deep hatred.

"When the evil ghosts came, they gave me the Secret Manual and the Energy Fruits. I stood out from the crowd and became superior. Those who used to look down upon me began to flatter me, those who used to distance themselves from me also began to get close to me. I had money, I could have any woman I wanted."

"Heh-heh, all of this was given to me by the ghosts. Why shouldn't I side with the ghosts?"

Xiao Mu shook his head slightly, Li Jinyu's words seemed to make sense, but this could not be his bottom line to join the evil ghosts.

"The purpose of the evil ghosts is to destroy the human world, dominate the human world, and destroy all the living beings in the human world. Do you not know that?"

Li Jinyu sneered, "So what if I do? If the evil ghosts want to occupy the human world, let them."

"As for evil ghosts wanting to destroy all living beings in the human world, that's ridiculous. As far as I know, the goal of evil ghosts is just to occupy the human world."

"Those beings that resist will be removed, and those willing to submit will be left behind."

Xiao Mu sneered, "Left behind to become slaves of the evil ghosts?"

Li Jinyu coldly said, "Being a slave is better than death."

Qing Songzi couldn't help but interrupt, "Mr. Mu, why bother arguing with someone like him? He's been blinded by the evil ghosts, you won't be able to convince him."

"Convince? Haha!"

Li Jinyu burst into laughter upon hearing that, "I never thought what I did was wrong. Evil ghosts gave me benefits, so I did my best for them. Not to mention, the evil ghosts promised me that once they occupy the human world, I would be the king of humans."

Xiao Mu's face turned cold, becoming icy, "If so, you may be loyal to the ghosts."

He slapped a True Fire Talisman on the Peach Wood Sword, and fired it directly at Li Jinyu.

How could Li Jinyu, who was fighting Qing Songzi with all his might, dodge this? He was hit directly by the cone of flames, igniting his entire body and resulting in his instantaneous death on the spot.

Before dying, Li Jinyu, possibly reflecting on something, was laughing wildly.

"Served him right! Spit!"

Lei Yunzi spat at Li Jinyu's corpse and cursed fiercely.

"This here is their underground factory."

Xiao Mu and Qing Songzi arrived at the entrance of the hole and looked down.

"There shouldn't be any more resistance, but we should still be careful."

Xiao Mu reminded, he sent his Ghost Servant first to scout the area. Finding all safe, only then did he and Qing Songzi descend in turn.

The terrane below was vast like an underground car park.

What they saw first were five or six young women, each holding Mutated Yellow Paper, hastily pasting paper horses and paper carriages.

Seeing the Ghost Servant and Xiao Mu and Qing Songzi, the faces of the young women instantly showed joy.

"You... are you humans? Are you here to save us?"

A young woman in her twenties mustered the courage to step forward and ask Xiao Mu and the others.

Qing Songzi took the initiative to step forward, smiling and saying, "Ladies, you are saved. We are from the Human Offensive and Defensive Alliance, and this is Chen Jian, the local sheriff. We came specifically to rescue you."

"Ah!"

The young women were both shocked and overjoyed, and they quickly began to cheer.
