Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 236 - 114: Li Yuan Looks North, Ghost Realm Mother and Daughter Appear, Envoy Sent to Beijiang Prefecture

Chapter 236: Chapter 114: Li Yuan Looks North, Ghost Realm Mother and Daughter Appear, Envoy Sent to Beijiang Prefecture

Under the pale moonlight, versions of "Human-Skinned Ghost Servants" resembling a weaker version of Li Yuan’s face kept coming, while the Dragon Blade Spear vibrated rapidly in the long night.

Although they couldn’t use City Destruction as perfectly as Li Yuan, these imitations actually managed to execute it to some extent.

One or two would be laughable in front of Li Yuan, but such a large number amounted to Ghost Servants...

Li Yuan put away the Ghost Bow and raised his hand to grasp the Dragon Blade Spear embedded in the soil before him.

It wasn’t the first time he faced these Ghost Servants...

In the Mass Grave, the Carpenter’s Shop, there were quite a few Ghost Servants he "killed" and sent back.

So he was aware of the characteristics of these Ghost Servants: They had some special minor abilities like teleportation, but their main ability was that they could hit you, while you couldn’t hit them, unless your weapon was coated with Ancestral Talisman drawn in Shadow Blood.

Every drop of Li Yuan’s blood was equivalent to an "Ancestral Talisman drawn in Shadow Blood."

"All I need to do is coat my Shadow Blood on the blade and treat them as ordinary enemies."

The moonlight revealed a chaotic dance of ghosts, akin to a battle between two nations.

Li Yuan and Lady Yan in White Clothes stood at the border.

Li Yuan’s long robes danced fiercely in the wind, while the dress of Lady Yan in White Clothes hung still, seemingly unaffected by the night breeze.

"Shhh..."

Crimson blood once again oozed from Li Yuan’s fingers.

Clang!

He tightened his grip on the Dragon Blade Spear and forcefully pulled it out.

The blood dripped onto the blade and spear tip, shimmering with a strange and eerie glow under the moonlight.

"Husband, do not charge into battle."

Lady Yan in White Clothes suddenly spoke, "Let’s retreat a bit; the Black Market Ghost Servants should not match the Rouge Shop Ghost Servants. You only need to slay the Rouge Shop Ghost Servants that charge over."

Li Yuan silently glanced at the female ghosts emerging behind him and the Human-Skinned Ghosts charging towards him, then retreated alongside Lady Yan in White Clothes, blending into the group of white-clad female ghosts.

Soon, the female ghosts and Human-Skinned Ghosts clashed.

The Human-Skinned Ghosts swung their blades, intending to kill the female ghosts, but as soon as they touched the female ghosts, they vanished, reappearing behind the Human-Skinned Ghosts, twisting their necks with ghostly hands.

Some Human-Skinned Ghosts had their necks twisted and fell to the ground, transforming into black smoke and slowly sinking into the ground.

Other Human-Skinned Ghosts reacted quickly, stabbing their blades into the female ghosts’ bodies, cleaving them in half.

The female ghosts fell to the ground, turned into black smoke, and swiftly merged into the ground on the Black Market’s side.

Li Yuan observed quietly.

If it were his first encounter, these ghosts would have frightened him to death.

But now, having slain a bunch himself and witnessing the Ghost Servants battling each other, his fear had somewhat diminished.

Ghosts, though mysterious and terrifying, were merely special existences.

"They possess a part of my power; why does it seem ineffective?" Li Yuan questioned.

Lady Yan in White Clothes replied, "The Human-Skinned Ghosts applied Yin Makeup to replicate part of your power, which would be quite effective against Martial Artists.

But between Ghost Servants, they still rely on their own power. You can consider this power as Yin Qi, Ghost Qi."

Li Yuan said, "I understand now. They have my power but lack my blood.

They can use my power against Martial Artists, but not against Ghost Servants."

"Exactly," Lady Yan in White Clothes said.

Li Yuan said, "These Ghost Servants are not dead; they’ve merely returned to the Ghost Realm."

"Ghosts do not die; they merely sleep. The way to put them to sleep is what we call ’killing.’

If killed by blood, these ghosts will sleep longer. If killed by fellow Ghost Servants, they recover quickly.

That’s why this balance is maintained for so long, because Feng’Er and the Vendor’s strengths do not differ too greatly, so neither can easily merge with the other.

It took half a year for Feng’Er and the Vendor to reach this balance.

Now, it’s uncertain how long it will take for the Ghost Realm below to merge.

Like soldier against soldier, general against general.

If the soldier manages to consume the opponent, that side wins," Lady Yan in White Clothes said.

"If they merge, what will happen to you?"

"If Feng’Er merges with the Vendor, her rules will prevail. By then... I could easily utilize her regularities to do things."

"Sister Yan, are you human or ghost now?"

"I should... be a ghost? After all, my real body is gone... During the clashes between Vendor and Feng’Er, my body was insignificant.

Now, my existence is entirely wrapped in Yin Qi by Vendor and Feng’Er. The Vendor seeks encroachment, Feng’Er offers protection, and I am in between, with a body no different from an Evil Ghost."

Li Yuan was silent for a moment; his wife’s situation was indeed very special. If not for Feng’Er’s rule of "not allowing Yan Yu to die," his wife would not have become such a rational, ghostly existence.

At this moment, Lady Yan in White Clothes stared into the distance and suddenly said, "I miss you and Xiaozhao very much."

As they spoke, some Human-Skinned Ghosts had already crossed the border.

Li Yuan stepped forward from the crawling female ghosts, moving swiftly.

Shadow Blood swirled in his heart as he silently visualized the [South Mountain Ghost Rain Painting], a mood of melancholy, depression, and eerie silence emerged.

Following this thought, his body floated like a mystic, swaying like a demon.

Like a mystic, like a demon, the blade light flickered, resembling the sinister and cold fish scales glinting in the air, burning with a blood-red hue.

This was one of his three techniques — Demon Blade.

The blade struck!

Human figures vanished, leaving only the blade light everywhere.

Where the blade light reached, those Human-Skinned Ghosts donning Li Yuan’s face were decapitated one by one, falling to the ground, before being directly attacked and scattered by the female ghosts, turning into black smoke and disappearing.
