I Can Strengthen Infinitely-Chapter 157 - 133: Faceless Ones

Whoosh!

With one slash, Ouyang Haichen felt an immense pressure pinning his body down, making it impossible for him to dodge.

This meant that at this moment, he could only choose to take Zuo Zonghao’s domineering "Zhong Gong Tiger-Slaying Array" head-on.

His third eye instantly opened to the largest extent, almost as if it would fall out of its socket, with red veins appearing on it.

As the Nine-Ring Golden Saber approached Ouyang Haichen’s head, its speed suddenly slowed, inching toward him.

This force wasn’t dissipated into thin air; it was purely Ouyang Haichen resisting with all his might.

One could see his entire body trembling violently, with his arms shaking fiercely and veins swelling up.

"Getting to this point, you aren’t half bad," Zuo Zonghao watched coldly and pointed with his other hand.

Buzz!

The Nine-Ring Golden Saber erupted with newfound strength, forcing Ouyang Haichen to his knees, creating two pits from the impact.

But this was only the beginning. When the Nine-Ring Golden Saber fully landed, the blade sliced down from his shoulder.

"Ah!!!"

Ouyang Haichen screamed, and his body split in half, his breath ended abruptly.

Zuo Zonghao wasn’t surprised by the result.

He spent Cyan Yang City’s entire resources to deploy the "Zhong Gong Tiger-Slaying Array," deserving such power.

With Ouyang Haichen’s death, the other Ghost Race members were shocked.

They didn’t know that there was an official presence here, let alone that the Human Race had set up such a formidable Exorcism Grand Array, which even Ouyang Haichen was unaware of.

Seeing their backbone dead, several Ghost Race members planned to flee. While they hadn’t faced the Nine-Ring Golden Saber head-on, they could sense its terrifying presence beyond their current abilities.

"Want to leave after coming here?" Zuo Zonghao sneered, stating that only by killing all the Ghost Race members would Cyan Yang City find peace tonight.

With Zuo Zonghao’s wave, the giant phantom changed direction, sweeping the saber toward several Ghost Race members.

Just as the Nine-Ring Golden Saber was about to cut the Ghost Race members, a sudden gust of sinister wind came, swirling them aside, helping them escape the saber’s range.

"Who?!" Zuo Zonghao shouted.

"Is the seal at this place? It’s unexpected."

"Mr. Yi seems dead; I can’t sense his presence."

"Zhong Gong Tiger-Slaying Array, heh, what a move."

"Let’s go see."

Qin Yuesheng stabbed two corpses in their chests and looked toward where the sound came from, seeing the Cheng Mansion’s gates, dark winds blowing, and sinister fog swirling.

In the fog, four figures hopped through the gates.

They were four faceless ones carrying a bronze-horned golden coffin!

Their movements were comical, hopping together, yet instead of causing laughter, Qin Yuesheng and others felt intense dread.

The stranger the enemy appeared, the more dangerous they were.

"Faceless ones, carrying a coffin..." Qin Yuesheng’s expression changed suddenly.

Wasn’t this what Du Beilun had mentioned?

During the Cyan Yang City incident, where citizens went mad and murdered in the streets, those white human faces were closely linked with these faceless ones.

"This is serious," Qin Yuesheng muttered gravely.

Seeing the four faceless ones, Zuo Zonghao said nothing, immediately maneuvering the phantom to strike, testing these unexpected foes’ strength.

Facing the Nine-Ring Golden Saber’s attack, the two front faceless ones extended single hands, catching the blade and fixing it in place.

"Let’s see how long you can hold out," Zuo Zonghao held the flagpole and roared.

The Nine-Ring Golden Saber’s power increased suddenly, causing cracks in the ground beneath the two faceless ones’ feet, their legs bending.

"Third and fourth, we’ll hold here, hurry to undo the seal."

"Got it."

The pair in the back dropped the coffin and sprinted toward the large pit.

Without the rear’s support, the coffin fell, chipping two small pits in the stone ground.

"Stop them," Zuo Zonghao immediately shouted to the surroundings.

At this moment, all his energy was focused on dealing with those two faceless people, and he didn’t have any spare time to stop the other two. He could only place his hopes on the other officials.

Qin Yuesheng reached into the Celestial Demon’s waist pouch, grabbed the ’Constricting Throat’ and placed it around his neck, then rushed towards the giant pit.

Now that these four faceless people had arrived, the situation was already quite unfavorable. If they further broke the seal and freed the heads of those thirteen Great Ghost Venerables, Cyan Yang City might face an unprecedented catastrophe tonight.

Qin Yuesheng’s family, relatives, and friends all lived in the city; he could not let such a tragedy unfold before his eyes.

Spiritual Swallow Body Skill was pushed to the limit. In a few blinks, Qin Yuesheng caught up with the two faceless people running to the edge of the giant pit and directly slashed towards the back of one faceless person.

"Hmm?" The faceless person turned back, grabbed with one hand, and seemed totally unfazed by the saber energy from Qin Yuesheng’s blade.

"You dare to obstruct us, are you tired of living?" the faceless person said indifferently.

As Qin Yuesheng got closer, he realized that although these two faceless people’s faces looked entirely blank without any features, they had a large mouth with fangs under their chins, from which their voices emerged.

Bang!

At the moment of grabbing the Evil-Subduing Saber, the faceless person’s sleeve exploded instantly, revealing his arm.

It was covered with dense, overlapping blue scales!

These scales possessed considerable defensive power, completely deflecting Qin Yuesheng’s saber energy, leaving the faceless person unharmed.

Taking advantage as one faceless person pinned down Qin Yuesheng, the other dashed to the pit edge. Seeing the Thousand Lock Spirit Array’s myriad chains blocking, he directly lunged forward to the gathering iron chains.

BANG!!

A lot of sparks instantly flew, the faceless person was utterly unable to breach the Thousand Lock Spirit Array, instead his head was burnt black and even resulted in scorch marks.

But he had no intent to give up, continuing to ram the Thousand Lock Spirit Array with his head, and under such persistence, his head surprisingly managed to enter the tight confines of the array.

Alarmed, Qin Yuesheng shouted fiercely at the faceless person entangled with him.

Soul-Shattering Roar concentrated through the Constricting Throat transformed into a linear soundwave targeting the faceless person’s face.

The faceless person didn’t foresee Qin Yuesheng’s sudden move, his head hit by the wave, instantly exploded.

After kicking away his body, Qin Yuesheng immediately rushed towards the Thousand Lock Spirit Array, where a faceless person had nearly squeezed half his body inside. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Qin Yuesheng reached out, intending to pull the guy out of the Thousand Lock Spirit Array.

However, at that moment, two arms fiercely grabbed Qin Yuesheng’s legs from behind, preventing his further movement.

Qin Yuesheng turned and shockingly saw the faceless person, whose head was blown off by him, grabbing him.

"Hmm?!"

Under normal circumstances, such injuries on any creature mean certain death, but this faceless person could still move.

Qin Yuesheng swung his saber, attempting to sever the faceless person’s arms to prevent further obstruction.

Clang!

Yet, events surpassed Qin Yuesheng’s expectations—his Evil-Subduing Saber couldn’t cut through the opponent’s arms, the faceless person’s blue scales boasted extraordinary hardness.

Frowning, Qin Yuesheng opted to grab and hurl the faceless person afar since extermination was currently unattainable, temporary relocation might do.

Turning, Qin Yuesheng was stunned to find the faceless person entirely inside the Thousand Lock Spirit Array, his facial expression dramatically changed, and he hurried ahead.

The Thousand Lock Spirit Array bore a conspicuous rupture from which the faceless one climbed through.

"Damn it." Qin Yuesheng squeezed through the gap, hoping to intercept the faceless one midway.

Leaping into the pit bottom, Qin Yuesheng saw the faceless one standing on a copper door, having arrived not long before.

Tightening his grasp on the Evil-Subduing Saber, Qin Yuesheng asked, "Are you also from the Ghost Race?"

"Young man, life’s precious. If you don’t desire death, leave at once, I may spare you," he responded.

"Boastful words," Qin Yuesheng retorted coldly.

The previous faceless one had his head exploded from my roar, proving they weren’t as invincible as imagined. Despite formidable defense, their unprotected head was an apparent weak point.

Qin Yuesheng unleashed Great Vajra Palm fiercely toward the foe, the faceless one tore away his black robe and retaliated, confronting him in combat.

BANG!

Qin Yuesheng’s palm struck the faceless one’s face, blocked by his arm, both parties stood firm, revealing strength parity.

Stunned, Qin Yuesheng reckoned his current power was at 100, yet this guy managed equal footing—his strength must be terribly terrifying.

Fortunately, having grown robust enough, otherwise as a novice, encountering these faceless ones might’ve resulted in immediate fatality.
