Yu Daohang stopped upon hearing the movement behind him, his hand already resting on the Kanglong Jian at his waist.
Suddenly, two paper figures lunged at Yu Daohang, their sharp teeth aiming for his neck.
Yu Daohang reacted with lightning speed. As he turned, he drew the Kanglong Jian from his waist and swung it.
The Kanglong Jian struck one of the paper figures, and to Yu Daohang's surprise, it was incredibly fragile, possessing no real killing power.
The other paper figure reached Yu Daohang. He grabbed its throat with his free hand and squeezed.
The paper figure's head detached and fell to the ground. Yu Daohang tossed the body aside.
These paper figures were far too weak. Just as Yu Daohang was about to turn back.
Yu Daohang truly found it strange. His parents were dead, no one loved him, and he was all alone in the world.
Suddenly, a young girl's cheerful voice echoed from behind.
Yu Daohang spun around abruptly, drawing the Kanglong Jian again.
He scanned his surroundings but found no spirits. Yu Daohang then looked at the paper figure whose neck he had just snapped.
The voice was coming from the paper figure's head lying on the ground.
Yu Daohang truly found it strange. His parents were dead, no one loved him, and he was all alone in the world.
Yu Daohang glared and walked up to the paper figure's head. "Say that again, and I'll send you to hell."
Yu Daohang truly found it strange.
As soon as the paper figure spoke, Yu Daohang raised his foot and stomped down.
*Crack!*
The paper figure's head, made of paper and bamboo strips, was crushed into pieces.
Yu Daohang cursed, "You don't appreciate a good word, do you?"
Yu Daohang looked at the thoroughly smashed paper figure's head, still feeling unsatisfied. He kicked it away again.
Only then did Yu Daohang walk towards the car with a lighter mood. Suddenly, he heard Su Lai call out from behind, "Yu Ye?"
Yu Daohang turned to see Su Lai approaching him, though he didn't know when he had gotten there.
"Damn it, Old Su, you're too unreliable," Yu Daohang cursed.
Su Lai rubbed the back of his head, looking embarrassed. "I didn't know the ghost would pull a trick like that."
Yu Daohang rolled his eyes. "Right, did you catch that ghost?"
Hearing this, Su Lai became angry. "Don't even mention it. When I rushed over, I realized it wasn't a ghost at all, but a white paper figure standing there."
Yu Daohang remained silent, looking down at Su Lai's feet.
"Let's gather back in the car first," Yu Daohang said, leading Su Lai towards the car.
Before they had taken two steps, Yu Daohang had already secretly condensed a golden light in his hand.
Su Lai also noticed Yu Daohang's movement, his expression changing. "Yu Ye, what do you mean by this?"
"Nothing," Yu Daohang replied.
He shook his head, spun around abruptly, and dashed forward a couple of steps. The golden light in his palm shot towards Su Lai's face.
Su Lai, already on guard, retreated. However, he was still grazed on the cheek by Yu Daohang's Tian Qian Palm.
The wound from the Tian Qian Palm felt like burning fire, contorting Su Lai's face in pain. Half of his face's skin peeled away.
Su Lai glared at Yu Daohang with fierce eyes. "How did you find me?"
Yu Daohang snorted. "You piece of trash, trying to fool me? Go look in a mirror and see if you're even worthy."
The moment he encountered Su Lai, Yu Daohang had instinctively glanced at Su Lai's feet and noticed that the man had no shadow.
Yu Daohang directly took out the Kanglong Jian, sneering, "Come on."
Su Lai looked at the Kanglong Jian in Yu Daohang's hand with a hint of fear. Although this was merely a clone, its death would heavily injure the main body.
Seeing Su Lai's hesitation, Yu Daohang taunted, "You're using a clone and you're still this hesitant? If I were you, I'd just wait for the sun to come out and kill myself."
Yu Daohang's words indeed provoked Su Lai, who gathered his ghostly energy onto his claws and lunged at Yu Daohang.
Yu Daohang chuckled and swung the Kanglong Jian.
Just as the Kanglong Jian was about to strike Su Lai, his body dissolved into a wisp of white smoke and vanished into the air.
Yu Daohang's swing missed. The white smoke drifted behind Yu Daohang, and Su Lai's form materialized. He extended his claws, preparing to deliver a fatal blow.
But before Su Lai could launch his surprise attack, Yu Daohang's other hand had already condensed a golden light. He spun around and slammed his palm towards Su Lai.
Su Lai hadn't expected Yu Daohang to react so quickly. He tried to dodge but it was too late. He could only brace himself and take Yu Daohang's palm strike.
*Bang!*
With a loud crash, Su Lai was sent flying backward.
Yu Daohang didn't stop there. He formed a hand seal, took a deep breath, and spewed out a torrent of flames, engulfing Su Lai.
As the flames dissipated, Su Lai had completely turned into black mist and vanished into the air.
Yu Daohang cursed with satisfaction, "Don't let me catch your main body, or I'll turn you into dust."
Yu Daohang had been holding a lot of pent-up anger, and Su Lai had just walked right into it.
