In a flash of lightning!
The dark shadow lunged forward, and Bai Ye abruptly turned, grasping the Frost Condensation Sword in his hand, and swung it with force.
The shadow was instantly bisected, falling to the ground before rapidly merging back into one and shrinking away into the distance.
Without hesitation, Bai Ye moved forward, drawing the Dragon Roar pistol, racking the slide, and firing at the shadowy figure.
*Bang!*
As the trigger was pulled, the plum-shaped muzzle of the Dragon Roar rotated, and five azure beams of light erupted.
With the gunshot, five craters, the size of normal human heads, were blasted into the ground.
The power was undeniable, a testament to futuristic technology. If it had struck a person, it would likely have torn them limb from limb.
However, it had no effect on the shadow. The shadow rapidly retreated, soon disappearing into the darkness.
Bai Ye strode forward, quickly realizing that this tent-like structure was a hall of mirrors. Before him, various distorted mirrors reflected his image.
Bai Ye's body was stretched, then fattened, contorting continuously, appearing somewhat comical.
But at this moment...
Bai Ye walked past a hall of mirrors, only to find that his reflection was absent from it.
Bai Ye decisively sidestepped and pulled the trigger again.
With a *whoosh*, accompanied by five energy beams illuminating the surroundings, the mirror was instantly shattered.
"Playing games with me?" Bai Ye raised the Dragon Roar, pacing forward slowly, "Come out again if you dare!"
Although there were overseers outside the structure, the interior was by no means safe.
This was a supernatural zone, so it was easy to infer that the forbidden areas here would inevitably harbor bizarre supernatural beings, trying their best to kill people!
Bai Ye shouted as he continued to walk forward.
Suddenly, two snake-like shadows reappeared behind Bai Ye, attempting to ambush him again, slowly closing in from behind.
But Bai Ye, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, spun around and pulled the trigger.
*Bang!*
The muzzle of the Dragon Roar swiveled, and five beams of light once again struck the ground, pulverizing it. The shadows quickly retreated and vanished without a trace.
Bai Ye carefully observed his surroundings, puzzled about what those shadows were.
In his previous life, Bai Ye wouldn't claim to have seen all the ghosts in the Death Amusement Park, but he had certainly encountered sixty to seventy percent. In his memory, there seemed to be no such ghosts that could transform into shadows.
As he pondered, Bai Ye began to slowly retreat, then suddenly lunged forward, kicking the glass on the side.
The glass instantly shattered, and at the moment of its destruction, two dark shadows appeared, quickly recoiling.
Bai Ye curled his lips, not in a hurry.
He had a way to lock onto them. The method was quite simple. If they had noticed, they would have realized that the Frost Condensation Sword, which had been suspended around Bai Ye, was gone.
Bai Ye had utilized the sword's ability, "Frost Illusion"!
During the first attack, Bai Ye had reacted purely on instinct. Then, Bai Ye discovered that the shadow had substance when it struck.
Substance meant a physical form. Therefore, after the sword transformed into frost, it spread a misty fog in all directions. As long as the dark shadow came into contact with the frost, Bai Ye would detect it immediately.
Compared to dealing with the shadows, Bai Ye was more curious about what they were. After several attacks, Bai Ye realized that these things didn't seem to be ghosts from the Death Amusement Park.
As he thought, Bai Ye slowly observed his surroundings, but the opponent was exceptionally cautious, continuously lurking, never attacking lightly.
Bai Ye pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned and pulled the trigger again.
The Dragon Roar fired energy beams, shattering another hall of mirrors.
The next instant, Bai Ye lowered his gun, making a show of needing to replace the energy crystal.
Wasn't the opponent cautious?
Caution implied infrequent attacks and a greater appreciation for each attack opportunity.
So, he would expose a weakness, and see if the opponent could resist the temptation!
As expected, the moment Bai Ye lowered his gun, two dark shadows rapidly circled around a hall of mirrors and lunged towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye looked up, a smirk playing on his lips.
He had drawn them out!
"Hexagonal Prism Shield!"
A hexagonal, transparent shield suddenly appeared before Bai Ye, and he grabbed it.
*Bang, bang!*
The two shadows collided with the Hexagonal Prism Shield, emitting a dull thud.
The next instant, Bai Ye fiercely raised the Dragon Roar!
He didn't actually need to replace the energy crystal!
*Bang!*
The Dragon Roar fired, five energy beams erupting forward, shattering the hall of mirrors. Immediately, a pained scream rang out.
A man, clutching his shoulder, retreated backward. His right arm had been grazed by an energy beam, instantly incinerated into a pile of bloody, pulverized flesh and bone fragments.
"I see!" Bai Ye declared, "Someone from the world of psychics? Those two dark shadows must be your psychic abilities, right?"
Bai Ye strode forward, leveling his gun at the man.
The man looked at Bai Ye in terror and shouted, "Don't kill me! If you kill me, the Back Spirit will haunt you too. I didn't get the Ghost Card..."
*Bang!*
Bai Ye ignored him completely and pulled the trigger.
Five energy beams struck the man's chest, and his chest exploded, completely obliterated. Flesh and blood splattered everywhere, followed by a head and the lower half of his body crashing to the ground.
Then...
Bai Ye suddenly froze!
The opponent had been blasted into dust, surely dead by all accounts. But...
Bai Ye had not received a shard of the God Stone!
This meant the man had spoken the truth. He truly hadn't obtained the Ghost Card and wasn't a ghost at all.
"What's going on?"
If he wasn't a ghost, why did he attack him?
Simultaneously...
A black smoke rose from behind Bai Ye, slowly coalescing behind him.
The Back Spirit had arrived!
Bai Ye spat on the ground and cursed at the severed torso, "What the hell! If you're not a ghost, why attack me like that!"
Bai Ye felt he had been tricked, and inexplicably so. But sometimes, things weren't that complicated. The participant from the psychic world had simply seen Bai Ye before. He had arrived in the Red Earth Marsh recently, just like Bai Ye. Previously, he had been at Mount Bagua and had also entered the Tomb of the King of Huai Nan, knowing that Bai Ye possessed a God Stone shard.
Given that, trying to kill him was perfectly normal, wasn't it?
Even if killing someone with a human card came at a cost, the God Stone shard was an irresistible temptation. And then...
He had brought this upon himself!
Bai Ye, on the other hand, was purely unlucky. Cursing, he turned and ran, creating some distance while the Back Spirit was still coalescing.
