Chapter 267: Chapter 0267: Terrifying Move: Yin Ghost Strangulation_1
Under the mocking and schadenfreude-filled gazes of everyone, Ba Ziyun sneered as he turned his large hand into an eagle’s claw, viciously reaching for Zhang Bin’s neck.
But the sneer on his face suddenly froze. A terrifying surge of Dark Force was striking directly at his face.
He had no time to dodge and had to retreat rapidly.
He was indeed an expert. As if pulled back by a rope, he flashed more than ten meters away and even changed direction, evading the assault of the Dark Force.
"Who is ambushing me?" Ba Ziyun roared in anger.
A ghost isn’t attacking you. You’re just bouncing around and putting on a show, right? everyone thought, their faces twisting into peculiar expressions.
Yang Yiyi also looked at Zhang Bin’s mountain-like back with a puzzled expression. What kind of trick did he use to scare this expert away?
He can actually dodge? Zhang Bin was slightly surprised, but of course, he didn’t care at all. He mocked the other man with a strange laugh, "Old beast, come on, attack me. Weren’t you so arrogant?"
Ba Ziyun was so angry he almost spat blood. He immediately charged over again and roared, "Kill!"
This time he wasn’t aiming for Zhang Bin’s neck but threw a fierce punch toward his chest.
He suspected the Dark Force had come from Zhang Bin, who seemed to be a deeply hidden expert. He had to use his full strength.
But to his horror, he hadn’t even reached Zhang Bin. While his fist was still a meter away, he felt a sharp pain in his neck. It was as if an invisible rope was ruthlessly strangling him. If he moved any further, his neck would surely snap.
He immediately stopped in his tracks, letting out a shocking yell.
"AHHH!"
His neck swelled up like a car tire, bulging as he resisted the terrifying attack of the Dark Force.
But to his horror, he discovered that the Dark Force was exactly like a thin rope. It was still crazily strangling his neck and slowly sinking in. His True Qi couldn’t withstand it.
His hands flew up to tear at the invisible rope digging into his neck.
Unfortunately, the rope was formless and intangible. Since it was embedded so deeply in his neck, his hands simply couldn’t grasp it.
Suddenly, his face turned blood-red, and his tongue began to loll out.
Even more terrifying, his feet left the ground, as if an invisible rope had wrapped around his neck and was pulling him up into the sky.
The scene was terrifyingly shocking.
"Ghost!" Peng Yang screamed in terror before falling backward and passing out.
"Ghost!" The other two talents, Guan Shanyue and Wu Xingxing, who were standing nearby, were similarly scared witless. They collapsed to the ground, frothing at the mouth. Their pupils dilated to their limit, and their faces turned deathly pale.
The rest of the crowd was also horrified, screaming incessantly.
Even Lin Youlan, who was standing on the platform, grew pale, her delicate body trembling uncontrollably.
Let alone them, even Yang Yiyi, standing behind Zhang Bin, was terrified. It was as if she could see an invisible ghost strangling Ba Ziyun’s neck. The sight was simply too frightening.
My Yin Ghost Strangulation technique isn’t bad. It’s perfectly capable of dealing with a Qi Hai Realm Initial Stage Cultivator, Zhang Bin thought, an evil smile spreading across his face.
This was the Special Ability he had recently created after long and hard thought. It was bizarre, unpredictable, and utterly terrifying.
Originally, he could use Dark Force to attack his enemies, but this would create a flow of energy that powerful experts could detect, allowing them to defend or dodge.
But now, instead of a rapid attack, he transformed the Dark Force into a rope. It would wrap silently and without a trace around his enemy’s neck. Then, he would suddenly pull tight and gradually increase the force.
The enemy had no way to dodge or block it.
They could only meet a most miserable end.
Although Ba Ziyun was a powerful cultivator at the Initial Stage of the Qi Sea Realm, he had now fallen into a desperate situation. He was being dragged into the air by an invisible rope strangling his neck.
His face was etched with shock and despair. His eyes, full of pleading, were fixed on Zhang Bin, begging him to spare his life.
Otherwise, if this continued for another ten minutes or so, his neck might not break, but he would suffocate and die a truly miserable death.
A mocking expression appeared on Zhang Bin’s face. "Weren’t you acting all high and mighty just now? Bullying others with your power? Why are you begging for mercy now?"
What? Could all this have been orchestrated by this youth who looks like a simple farmer? How is that possible? What kind of miraculous ability is this?
Everyone was thoroughly shocked, a wave of terror and awe flooding their hearts.
This youth was no simple character. He was a Zither Grandmaster with such unfathomable, supernatural methods.
And yet, they had all mocked and scorned him just moments before.
Of course, Lin Youlan was the most shaken. She knew all too well how powerful Ba Ziyun was; she had certainly never seen him defeated like this. Without Zhang Bin even lifting a finger, he had left Ba Ziyun hanging between life and death. His power was terrifying.
It showed just how formidable he was.
Such a youth was certainly not comparable to those simpletons who did nothing but foolishly practice martial arts all day long.
Shame and panic surfaced on Ba Ziyun’s face. The look in his eyes grew increasingly pitiful as he shook his head ceaselessly.
Clearly, he was repenting.
However, Zhang Bin continued to look on indifferently, as if he had no intention of sparing him.
Despair and remorse filled Ba Ziyun’s face.
Why did I bully the weak, relying on my own strength? Have I finally met my match today?
CLACK! CLACK! CLACK!
Her face etched with urgency, a faint fragrance trailing her, Lin Youlan rushed down from the stage. She pleaded, "Sir, I was the one who gave the order. Please spare him. If you must punish someone, punish me."
A sneer crept onto Zhang Bin’s face. "My dear lady, weren’t you quite proud, arrogant, and conceited just a moment ago? You looked down on me, didn’t you? Despised me for being an unknown youth? You tried to throw me out multiple times? Why aren’t you so tough now? Did you think that anyone who enters the Hall of Talents can be bullied by you as you please?"
"I’m so sorry, I really am," Lin Youlan said, her face flushed with shame. "I failed to recognize a great man right in front of me."
"Nothing in this world can escape reason, and justice lies in the hearts of the people," Zhang Bin said coldly. "I came with my girlfriend to visit Master Lin. Who did we offend?
"Yet, these three targeted me time and time again, ridiculing me. I ignored them, but they only grew worse. They even dared to insult my girlfriend.
"Instead of throwing them out, you tried to throw us out. Don’t you feel any shame?"
