Nan Zhi had originally intended to ask why the authorities had not deployed lethal weapons, but Hu Ban'er misinterpreted her meaning and hurriedly explained:
"This yaksha is utterly vicious. During the day, it hides in the cemetery with its form dispersed, and at night, it turns into a black wind to go to crowded places to catch people and spirits who have gained intelligence to eat.
Although the authorities have powerful firearms, this yaksha has no physical body, and unlike ordinary ghosts, it does not fear light or heat. It also has the ability to pass through walls, vanish into the ground, and snatch souls. The authorities can only temporarily drive it out of the busy streets and then find people from the occult world to deal with it.
As for the firearms created by the human race, those are merely tools they use for their own internal strife. The Mountain Lord’s cultivation is profound, so naturally, those things cannot harm even a single hair on the Mountain Lord."
No, although she could withstand the attack of ordinary artillery, she was not completely invincible.
You know nothing of the power of human technology.
Although she was curious about how many levels of artillery her Foundation Establishment Level 1 cultivation could withstand, Nan Zhi did not plan to pit her physical body against a nuclear bomb.
At least not yet.
The ugly yaksha narrowed its eyes as if it were asleep, completely disregarding the fact that its weaknesses were exposed. It lay there in peaceful slumber, not even bothered by the tiger roar Nan Zhi had used as a warning earlier.
This thing truly had the capital to be arrogant.
【Ghost Faced Yaksha: Level 27】
A level 27 red named monster was the highest level wild monster Nan Zhi had seen in the real world.
!!
The yaksha seemed to have just reacted, opening its ghost eyes to look over. Upon seeing Nan Zhi, its throat emitted bursts of strange, screeching cries:
"A tiger can also become a spirit? Wow! If I eat you, will I be able to evolve just like in a game!"
"I have eaten foxes, wild cats, and wild dogs, but I have never eaten a white tiger!"
"I just wonder which tastes better, tiger meat or human meat..."
The voice sounded neither male nor female at first, but upon closer listening, it seemed like many people were whispering together, which was extremely eerie. The Ghost Faced Yaksha had been a death row prisoner who committed serious crimes in life. More than ten years ago, he had been executed by firing squad. When he regained consciousness and found that he was not only alive but had become an incredibly ugly yaksha, he felt no fear; instead, he was extremely proud.
"Never eaten a tiger, but you look quite nice, almost human. Can you speak? Chirp chirp chirp... come here, I will give you meat to eat... ga ga ga ga..."
The yaksha gave a strange cackle and pulled out a half eaten human corpse from beneath its haunches, calling Nan Zhi like one would a dog:
"Come, come over, daddy has some fragrant meat for you... be good..."
You are finished.
Hu Ban'er excitedly licked his fur, his beastly eyes almost glowing.
【Wood Manipulation Art】!
Nan Zhi whispered a few words, and four giant vines as thick as pythons immediately grew from beneath the cemetery. They coiled like snakes, firmly binding the yaksha’s four limbs!
"Rattle rattle... rattle rattle..."
"Snap, snap, snap!"
"Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit! I will slaughter you today, skin you, and eat your meat!"
The yaksha was furious. Its withered limbs possessed immense strength, and it immediately snapped the giant vines binding it. It then grabbed the vines and lashed out at Nan Zhi!
Nan Zhi had not expected to capture the yaksha with just one spell. A level 27 creature was equivalent to Qi Refinement cultivation and had even developed self awareness, so she naturally could not underestimate it.
She leaped back, easily avoiding the vine. She reached out and grabbed the other end, swinging the yaksha like a kite and slamming it hard into the middle of the cemetery!
"Boom!!"
The cemetery was built halfway up the mountain. When the yaksha was slammed down, it crashed directly into a giant pit on the slope. It grew even more enraged, pulling out a massive white bone from somewhere and charging at Nan Zhi with a roar!
Nan Zhi had roughly gauged the strength of this yaksha, so she no longer held back. She rushed forward and slammed a punch into the white bone club, then twisted her body and delivered a heavy kick to the yaksha’s belly!
How could the yaksha have anticipated the sheer force of this blow?
With a loud bang, the yaksha’s bloated belly burst open. What fell to the ground was not shredded meat or stones, but the chewed and fragmented souls of ghosts.
"It hurts..."
"Ahhh..."
"It hurts... save me..."
"Save me..."
Countless soul fragments turned into arms, legs, feet, and heads as they fell to the ground, their sharp wails echoing above the cemetery.
The yaksha lay on its back, its belly wide open. Countless undigested ghosts were scrambling to crawl out of its stomach. Broken limbs, chewed corpses, and scattered, foul smelling liquid...
The scene was comparable to a hell on earth.
"Heh heh heh... how... what... are you... exactly..."
The yaksha widened its eyes in unwilling disbelief. It seemed unable to believe that its body had been pierced with a giant hole by a single strike.
Was it not supposed to be special?
Why did it have to die again after becoming a ghost?
"Crack."
Before it could understand, Nan Zhi crushed its head.
"Bang!"
The yaksha’s head exploded instantly, the three lumps on its forehead shattering along with it. Rotten meat and bone fragments splattered everywhere, and a large amount of foul smelling blood fell to the ground. It was not fresh blood, but a dark, stinking green liquid.
【Ghost Faced Yaksha (27) has died.】
【Congratulations to the cultivator for killing the level 27 red named monster "Ghost Faced Yaksha", obtaining experience x100, "Ghost Faced Yaksha Spirit" x1, Heavenly Treasure Tree Lottery Ticket x2, Spiritual Energy Cluster (Large) x1, Spiritual Energy Cluster (Small) x5, Rejuvenation Pill x5, Qi Augmenting Pill x5】
As the yaksha died completely, its withered body flickered in and out of existence, intermittently dropping frames. The three swollen fleshy tumors on its head also deflated rapidly.
Until the yaksha completely dissipated, leaving only a scorched black mark on the spot.
The mark resembled a human shape imprinted across the layers of tombstones, and it smelled like stale urine.
A massive white bone club lay there cleanly.
This club actually didn't break?
Nan Zhi’s eyes flashed with surprise.
It was a good item.
However, it was hers now.
【Bone Club (Blue Quality): This is a leg bone picked up by the Ghost Faced Yaksha on Yin Yang Road when it escaped from the Underworld. The identity of the bone’s owner is unknown, but fortunately, it is sturdy and durable, making it a quite good tool.】
Underworld?
Yin Yang Road?
This yaksha escaped from the Underworld?
Ghosts had told her before that there was no Underworld.
Now it seemed that as spiritual energy became more abundant, the Underworld was also slowly reviving.
Does this mean the real world would also be divided into the Heavenly Court and the Underworld in the future?
But as long as she seized the opportunities and remained one step ahead, even if immortals and gods appeared and great chaos broke out, she was confident she could remain unaffected and achieve the Great Dao.
Nan Zhi’s eyebrows rose high. The next second, she narrowed her eyes toward a certain direction.
Someone had entered the range of the white fog.
It was a cultivator.
Rate on N.U.
