Chapter 16: Confrontation
anji, who was originally dozing with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. A trace of imperceptible light flashed by."Did you break through""Well, no. Just some gains in martial arts."Shen Changq...I have to say.
Zhang Long and Zhao Fang's plan is not a problem.

Because a powerful Specter-grade monster can practically run rampant throughout the Pulse Stream Realm.
Apprentice Exorcist.
It's just the beginning of the Meridian Opening Realm.
Even if several came, they wouldn't be able to stand against a powerful Ghoulish Specter at all; it's more likely that they would be devoured completely by the Specter.
Unfortunately —
Things didn't go exactly as the two people had expected.
First.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Because the Demon Suppression Division had suffered a significant number of casualties recently, only Shen Changqing came, not several apprentice demon slayers as they had imagined.
Moreover.
Although Shen Changqing is an apprentice exorcist, his true strength is already comparable to that of top-tier yellow-ranked exorcists.
Even.
is even stronger than the top-tier yellow-ranked demon slayer.
Fifteen layers of the Thirteen Protectors' training, combined with eight layers of pure yang cultivation, his foundation was fundamentally incomparable to ordinary meridians cultivators.
Especially the former.
External skills are easy to learn, but it takes a lot of time and effort to master them.
Almost no one would waste too much time on external skills.
Conversely.
Once external skills reach a profound level, the power they can unleash is unimaginable.
Just like Zhang Long's surprise attack earlier.
That slash.
A normal martial artist would inevitably be decapitated.

One could inflict wounds upon Shen Changqing, but he remained unscathed.
This is the power of the Thirteen Taibao's rigorous training.

“Zhang Long solved it, but the strange occurrences in Gu Yue Village are still ongoing. We need to eliminate them first!”
Shen Changqing glanced at Zhang Long's body and then turned back to the yard.
This moment.
The courtyard hadn't changed much, but a strong chill was rising from all directions, more intense than when I first came in, at least twice as strong.
Don't think about it.
Even Shen Changqing could understand this.
The creature in the yard, already thoroughly enraged.
Suddenly.
There was a cold touch, that came upon him from behind.
A moment.
Shen Changqing turned back and slashed out with his sword, colliding head-on with a ghastly white palm.
The palm seemed to have no form, and when it touched the blade, it was as if it had never appeared at all, vanishing without a trace.
A longsword that could be touched by the palm, yet it seemed to be trapped in an endless winter. An extreme coldness swept up from it, causing a faint white frost to condense on the blade.
Pure Yang Qi burst forth.
The frost on the blade dissipated.
Soon, an endless wave of coldness surged up. A dishevelled head suddenly landed on Shen Changqing's shoulders. When he turned his head, he was met with a face that was turning blue and rotting.
Suddenly.
>
Goosebumps rose on his skin.
There was no hesitation.
Shen Changqing's pure yang zhenqi permeated his entire body. With a forceful strike of his elbow, a shrill scream rang out in his ear, momentarily causing him to be dazed.
The next instant.
Then a ghastly pale hand shot out from under his armpit, reaching straight for his chest.
His clothes were torn.
A bone-chilling cold erupted.
Zhang Long's body, which was previously impervious to attacks, now bore deep wounds from the strange onslaught. His skin had been ripped open.
Chest pain.
Let Shen Changqing's anger flare.
With a sudden strike, the eight layers of pure yang zhenqi exploded outward, shattering the pale palm instantly.
The palm has just dissipated.
Then a greater chill swept over him from behind.
He took a step forward, his long sword drawing back from under his armpit in a reverse sweep. It seemed to strike something, and a sharp scream pierced the air instantly.
Very soon.
The yard became quiet.

Shen Changqing stood with his sword drawn, his eyes alertly observing the surrounding environment. He focused his senses to their fullest, not wanting to miss any sound or movement.
This should be translated into:

The wound on his chest has already scabbed over quietly.
But the pain still lingered, a testament to what had just transpired.
"What a pain!"
Shen Changqing sighed. This was the first time he had faced a strange creature head-on, and it was a powerful You-level one.
Though in the library.
I have been studying strange knowledge for a long time, but when I actually face it, I find that what is written in the book is still different from reality.
>
This moment.
>
Chen Changqing now fully understands the terrifying nature of overwhelming and bizarre power.
Let's not talk about anything else.
Just that single attack, if it had landed on an ordinary meridian warrior, their heart would have been ripped out.
Such a clash.
One carelessness, and you are dead.
“Whether they are ghoulish apparitions or vengeful spirits, neither have concrete forms. They must attach themselves to something in order to persist!”
Shen Changqing's mind was filled with thoughts of strange occurrences, his gaze sweeping back and forth across the courtyard.
Low-grade monstrosity.
It has no physical form.
Because it has no physical form, it possesses a fatal weakness: it must rely on some kind of object.
Those attached objects are equivalent to eerie lifelines.
Just destroy those things.
Here's the translated text:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Even if we can't kill the monster, at least we can inflict heavy damage on it.
However, the problem is.
The objects a ghost might attach to are too numerous to count, it could be a stone on the ground or some inconspicuous object. Finding something specific in a large yard would definitely not be easy.
“If I can’t find what’s possessing it, it’ll keep attacking me endlessly. I might not be able to outlast it in a battle of attrition. If this drags on for too long, I'll most likely lose.”
Of course, Shen Changqing was confident that if he retreated, the strange creature would definitely not be able to intercept him.
Suddenly.
He strode toward the room that had been attacked first.
As I reached the door of the room.
Shen Changqing suddenly stopped his steps and then changed direction.
in the courtyard.
A chill permeates the air.
A thick fog descended, completely blocking out the sun and plunging the surrounding area into darkness.
But for Shen Changqing, he had already reached the point where he could see in the dark.
Even in dim surroundings.
It will not have a very big impact either.
After changing directions several times, the eerie presence remained motionless, as if it had completely fallen silent or vanished altogether.
But Shen Changqing was very clear about this.
Something eerie was watching him silently from somewhere, but the previous fight had made the other party understand that he wasn't easy to deal with, so they didn't dare to make a move for now.
It's waiting.
Waiting for a suitable opportunity to make a move.
Suddenly.
Shen Changqing once again changed direction and dashed towards the big tree in the courtyard.
Hum——
A chill swept through the courtyard, followed by a shrill, ear-piercing scream that could freeze the soul.
Two pale palms suddenly appeared, reaching towards Shen Changqing's face and chest.
PS: Please collect and vote, thank you very much!!!een the face of the person before him, and his expression became doubtful."It's you!"The arrival was none other than Shen Changqing.Seeing this, Man Shen's heart couldn't help but tremble again.He did...
