Chapter 192: I’m getting out of the car to exercise a bit! (2/2)
An illusory and hazy figure was standing in the middle of the road, emitting eerie ghost qi.
It was the figure of a tall man wearing an ancient armor. A scary mask covered his face, and he had silver-white long hair. Huge chains were entwined around both his hands, and at the extremity of these chains, two blood-covered knives hung from them.
Pieces of gla.s.s and other plastic materials were scattered in the surroundings of the figure. These were the aftermath of a car accident. It seems that no one had cleaned them up yet.
”Is that a ghost?” Song Shuhang muttered.
Did this ghost dare to come out in broad daylight due to this cloudy weather?
When he was pondering, the vision of the ghost fell on Song Shuhang. However, he didn’t pay too much attention to him. He s.h.i.+fted his gaze and looked again at the car parked on the roadside. It seemed that his task was to create car accidents on this road.
There was only one low-rank ghost soldier, and Song Shuhang had determined his rank through his aura. However, it was impossible to destroy this evil spirit without revealing his presence to the one controlling it.
Song Shuhang went forward and arrived in front of the ghost soldier. The ghost was around two meters tall, a head taller than Shuhang.
The ghost soldier kept looking at Song Shuhang, but as before, he didn’t take any action.
A low-rank ghost soldier didn’t have much of an intellect. After being subdued, it would mechanically execute the master’s orders and wouldn’t take actions on own initiative.
Basic Fist Number One!
Song Shuhang used in his right fist; all the power of qi and blood from his Heart and Eye Apertures was concentrated there. He hit the evil spirit’s chin with all his might.
”Aaaah~” The big and tall ghost soldier was sent flying and fell on the ground a moment later, sending out ghastly cries.
The strength of this low-level ghost soldier was equivalent to a cultivator that had just opened his Heart Aperture!
Song Shuhang took a few steps forward. His speed didn’t seem too fast, but in truth, he was very quick—this was the ❮Virtuous Man’s Ten Thousand Mile Walk❯!
In the blink of an eye, he was already in front of the evil spirit.
The ghost soldier didn’t even have the time to get up when Song Shuhang swung yet another fist. He violently hammered the ghost soldier’s head, aiming to turn it into a b.l.o.o.d.y pulp. At the same time, he also used his knee to hit its chest, making him unable to get up.
After the time it takes to breathe thrice… the head of the ghost soldier was turned into minced meat, and its body had turned into a ma.s.s of black mist.
At this time, the ghost spirit residing in Song Shuhang’s Heart Aperture came out of its own volition. It revealed only half of its body and grabbed that ma.s.s of black mist with one hand, swallowing it down. Afterward, it smacked its lips, satisfied.
”Ah?” Song Shuhang looked at the ghost spirit, somewhat confused. It could recover energy by eating other ghosts?
He hadn't completed his synchronization with the ghost spirit yet. Therefore, their ‘consciousness interlinkage’ wasn’t always active. Thus, at this time, he had no idea what the ghost spirit was thinking.
But now that he knew it could eat other ghosts to recover its strength, he would make sure to let the ghost spirit eat to its heart’s content during this trip to the Luo Xin street area.
Song Shuhang retracted his fist and heaved a sigh.
It seems that J-City’s Luo Xin street area has some problems. Ghosts are now running rampant and even causing car accidents on the main road. Is this the doing of Altar Master’s underlings? Or maybe it is another loose cultivator specialized in ghosts who came over here, bringing this ghost along?
No matter who it was, now that he had eliminated this ghost soldier, the opposite party would quickly notice it.
At that time, Altar Master’s underlings would surely come to take a sneak peek at the situation. Thus, he would be able to discover their whereabouts from the clues they would leave behind!

In the car, Tubo was looking at Shuhang, somewhat puzzled. First, he punched the air. Next, he took a few steps forward and started to randomly punch the ground as if trying to hit something. Had he been possessed or something?
”Did he acc.u.mulate so much stress after driving for five hours straight?” Tubo rubbed his forehead. Shuhang isn’t planning to beat me up, right?
At this time, Song Shuhang returned to the car humming, ”It’s all good. Let’s go!”
Tubo had the face of someone trying to curry favors. He said with a smile, ”Shuhang, you must be really tired. I’ll give my grandpa a call and tell him that we’re about to arrive.”
The car started, its destination—Luo Xin street area village.
Tubo called his grandfather, ”h.e.l.lo, Grandpa. I’m coming over with Song Shuhang and another cla.s.smate. We’ll be there in a little more than ten minutes.
”Did you take the taxi?” Tubo’s grandfather asked. But his dignified manner had toned down quite a bit from the last time. He sounded weak.
”No, we’re coming by car,” Tubo replied.
”Then, be careful, especially on the mountain road that leads toward the village. In the past few days, there had been three car accidents in that place already,” Tubo’s grandfather said.
”Don’t worry. We’ve already left that place behind,” Tubo said with a smile. At the same time, he couldn’t help but glance at Song Shuhang.
What a coincidence. Wasn’t it the same place where Song Shuhang stopped to exercise for a while?
❄️❄️❄️
Ten minutes later, Song Shuhang parked the car in Grandpa Tubo’s courtyard.
Tubo’s grandfather was already waiting at the main gate to receive the guests.
After the car stopped, Tubo got out and gave his grandfather a bear hug. Soon, Yangde also got out while rubbing his eyes. Shuhang too got out after parking the car.
”Grandpa, let me give you a brief introduction. These are my roommates, Li Yangde and Song Shuhang. You’ve already met the latter,” said Tubo with a smile.
”You’re all welcome!” Tubo’s grandfather warmly welcomed Yangde and Shuhang.
However, once Song Shuhang parked the car and locked it, Tubo’s grandfather stared for a while—he was a bit disappointed. That mysterious girl from the last time didn’t come?
The reason he thought of Tubo’s friends after those strange incidents in the village was exactly that mysterious girl.
But, now that Song Shuhang was finally here, the mysterious girl wasn’t. He couldn’t help but be a little disappointed. However, he quickly regained his composure.
After all, he was the one that asked Tubo to bring over his roommates. He couldn’t lack in courtesy now.
Song Shuhang also gave Tubo’s grandfather a bear hug and said, ”Grandpa, we’ve come to visit you again!”
Tubo’s grandfather laughed heartily. He really liked this polite youngster.
When he hugged Tubo’s grandfather, Song Shuhang slightly frowned.
There were some traces of ‘ghost qi’ on the grandfather’s body. This would happen only if one came in contact with ghosts recently.
Moreover, his body felt weak. Was his vitality sucked out by a ghost?
After separating from Tubo’s grandfather, Song Shuhang looked all around… even if he couldn’t see it, he could perceive through his mental energy that the surrounding area was engulfed in eerie ghost qi.
Traces of the presence of ghosts could be found in the entire Luo Xin street area. Usually, these traces would disappear under the sunlight. But now that the weather was cloudy, some of them had stayed behind...
