The three people were dressed in extremely strange outfits.

One of them exuded a bloodthirsty aura, like a butcher, holding a pig-slaughtering knife, giving an intensely uncomfortable feeling even with just a glance.

If I'm not mistaken, this person must be the figure referred to as Blood Slaughter by the long-haired man.

Another was draped in a black robe, with a large hood that completely obscured their face, giving Ye Guichen a feeling similar to those from the Yin Ghost Sect at Lingquan Villa.

This person should be Ghost Hidden.

The last person held a giant brush over a meter long, with black ink at the tip, but wore a Taoist robe and appeared exceedingly sloppy, known by the nickname of Po Mo Taoist.

"Second Protector, do we really need all of us to deal with this kid? Aren't you overestimating him?" The sloppy Po Mo Taoist looked disdainfully at Ye Guichen.

"Yeah, my pig-slaughtering knife will strip his bones, let's see how arrogant he can be!" Blood Slaughter shook the knife in his hand, his face ferocious.

The Second Protector just gave a light smile, "Gentlemen, didn't this kid just spit out the Longevity Root? Do you think he's easy to deal with?"

"What? He spat out the Longevity Root?"

"What a joke, who can ever escape the Hall Master's Longevity Root?"

"Stop trying to fool us here."

No one believed Ye Guichen could spit out the Longevity Root.

The Second Protector didn't explain further and said, "Regardless of his martial talent or other skills, this person is outstanding. Although he has ruined many of our plans, my suggestion is to capture him alive and take him back to let the Hall Master turn him into a substitute."

"A substitute?" Po Mo Taoist and the others' eyes lit up upon hearing this, "Haha, that's brilliant! Let me take a look at him first!"

With those words, the Po Mo Taoist already charged toward Ye Guichen.

The Second Protector didn't stop him, "Be careful, he might already be at the Great Grandmaster Realm."

"What a joke, he's a Great Grandmaster? Haha, then I'm an Immortal." Po Mo Taoist ignored the warning, his body swayed, and the large brush in his hand pointed forward.

Almost simultaneously as it pointed out, the large brush waved in the air, and in the blink of an eye, it drew a gigantic talisman character.

The talisman character seemed like an invisible pressure, as if directly locking down the area around Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen was slightly surprised.

This sloppy Taoist does have some skill, to draw sigils in the void.

However, Ye Guichen quickly saw through the trick.

The opponent seemed to have integrated talisman techniques with his own cultivation, hovering at the Half-step Master level.

The talisman he crafted, while lacking in profound energy methods, due to his cultivation technique seemed to possess a force akin to profound energy. Although it couldn't harm, the trapping technique was highly effective.

Forget about a first-class expert, even a Grandmaster Realm expert encountering this sloppiness might be bound for a few seconds.

But Ye Guichen didn't even move, instead grasped the void, as if grabbing something: "Such a trick, don't show it off in front of me."

The eerie force imprisoning Ye Guichen seemed to be grasped instantly by Ye Guichen.

The Po Mo Taoist's contempt turned into fright instantaneously.

However, before he could react, Ye Guichen tossed it back: "This Po Mo method, return it to you!"

Swish!

In the void, the talisman initially condensed by the Po Mo Taoist rushed toward him.

The next second, as Po Mo Taoist turned to flee, his back was torn apart.

Thud!

The Po Mo Taoist collapsed to the ground.

His body didn't even have time to twitch, a blood talisman was clearly imprinted on his back.

The blood talisman penetrated into the skin of the Po Mo Taoist, directly harming his internal organs.

"Dead?"

Ye Guichen effortlessly took down Po Mo Taoist, surprising the rest.

Even the Second Protector was incredulous.

They all knew Po Mo Taoist's skills, yet he couldn't withstand even a single exchange with Ye Guichen.

"You see, this kid, he's perfect to be made into the Hall Master's substitute!" The Second Protector wasn't saddened by Po Mo Taoist's death, instead showed great excitement, "As long as we capture him alive, the Hall Master will surely reward us generously!"

Blood Slaughter and Ghost Hidden were evidently moved as well.

"Indeed, Second Protector, let us join forces!" Blood Slaughter said, swinging his pig-slaughtering knife.

Simultaneously, Ghost Hidden pulled off the black robe and threw it toward Ye Guichen.

In an instant.

The black robe seemed to transform into an impenetrable black cloth, enveloping the surroundings.

Ye Guichen swiftly flashed back, avoiding the robe's shroud, only to find the entire alley engulfed in dark mist, almost to the point of blindness.

"Indeed, some skill!" Ye Guichen stood firm, sensing a terrifying killing intent nearby, wrapped in a strong bloodthirstiness. If not mistaken, it must be the fellow called Blood Slaughter.

"Hmph!" Ye Guichen snorted coldly, raising a palm: "Deliver All Sentient Beings!"

After the palm print, a Swastika symbol of Buddhism formed in the center of Ye Guichen's palm.

The Swastika swept across like a gale, instantly dispersing the dark mist in front of Ye Guichen, and simultaneously, the substantial form of the talisman struck Blood Slaughter's chest.

This was the technique of the Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique, no matter how formidable Blood Slaughter was, how could he withstand Ye Guichen's direct hit?

Blood Slaughter initially thought that under the black mist, Ye Guichen wouldn't perceive his approach, trying to seize the moment to wound Ye Guichen.

Unexpectedly, Ye Guichen seemed to have countless eyes, capable of piercing through the black mist.

"Pff!"

Blood Slaughter flew backward as his chest exploded.

Again met with death with eyes open in disbelief.

The Second Protector's pupils contracted, finding it hard to believe.

One move, killing an expert.

How's anyone supposed to deal with that?

"Ghost Hidden, don't hold back!" The Second Protector shouted loudly.

Ghost Hidden hadn't anticipated Ye Guichen's overwhelming power, grabbed the black robe, and shouted: "Transform into Ghosts!"

Oooo!

Amidst the sounds of ghostly cries, silhouettes seemed to flicker through the black mist, all rushing towards Ye Guichen.

Simultaneously, Ghost Hidden was also concealed in the mist, rapidly closing in on Ye Guichen.

The Second Protector also grabbed a machete behind him, his form shifting like a long serpent, while the machete seemed to flick its tongue, hissing as it aimed at Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen shook his head lightly: "Trivial tricks, still trivial tricks!"

"Arrogance!" Continuously belittled by Ye Guichen, both the Second Protector and Ghost Hidden were immensely furious.

With their shouts, the dense killing aura engulfed Ye Guichen completely.
