The last straw that broke the camel’s back does not prove that the last straw was the main reason for breaking the camel.

Behind the mask with a small broken hole was not a pale human face.

It was an endless darkness.

Gray mist swirled within it.

One could even hear shrill, miserable screams, venomous curses, and faint, intermittent weeping.

The Human-Faced Scorpion vanished into the mist and appeared before Chen Ye the next moment, on full alert.

At the same time, the simulated Death God appeared beside Chen Ye again, acting as a guard.

Hatred was ready in his hand, poised to strike.

Something was wrong.

Chen Ye sensed that Hatred seemed to be trembling again.

This tremor felt like cheering, like jubilation, like uncontrollable excitement.

What could make Hatred excited?

There was only one kind of thing…

It was resentment, vast amounts of resentment.

Chen Ye saw wisps of gray mist being sucked into the scabbard.

Hatred, hidden within the scabbard, had already activated its first state.

It was now charging madly towards the second state.

The man wearing the mask lay flat on his back on the ground, his slender arms and legs motionless.

The surface of his body still flickered with continuous flashes of lightning.

But no one wanted to step forward.

A sense of crisis washed over them.

Chen Ye glanced at the Pink-haired Girl.

The two of them tacitly began to slowly retreat backward.

Iron Lion, bare-bottomed, wanted to charge forward but was pulled back by Chen Ye.

Chen Ye shook his head slightly, his expression extremely serious.

Iron Lion, very obediently, followed Chen Ye in retreating.

Although he didn’t know what would happen…

Superhumans possessed a sixth sense far beyond ordinary people and were much more sensitive to approaching danger than normal humans.

In the surrounding houses, villagers, crying and wailing for their parents, were being led out of their homes by Assistant Xiao Zheng.

“Such thick resentment!”

“This is…”

The Slovenly Daoist Priest’s face was extremely grim at this moment.

As a Celestial Master Sequence 2 Exorcist Taoist, he had a natural sensitivity to these supernatural, ghostly things that surpassed even that of Superhumans.

The Daoist Priest opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue, on which rested a tiny Peach Wood Sword.

The priest took the Peach Wood Sword in hand, and it rapidly expanded, finally reaching normal size.

With just one glance, Chen Ye confirmed this was a Wonder.

In one hand, the Peach Wood Sword;
in the other, a Thunder Summoning Talisman.

At this moment, the Slovenly Daoist Priest actually had a bit of the flavor of a Taoist priest from a horror movie.

“Priest, what do we do next?”

“Do you have a contingency plan?”

Hearing Chen Ye’s question.

The Daoist Priest seemed to think of something, his face even turning a bit pale.

He shook his head and said nothing.

The Village Chief had prepared a contingency plan.

But if it really came to that step, I’m afraid even Divine Elephant Village would be in great danger.

Chu Che was currently hiding under the eaves in the distance.

Born a pathfinder, he could sense the Anomaly aura at this spot was growing wildly.

Even the Divine Elephant beneath him seemed somewhat restless.

This was not a good sign.

Right at that moment.

A gray-white misty breath drilled out from the broken hole in the mask.

The gray-white misty breath floated in the air, forming a ferocious human head.

The head looked left and right. At first, it seemed bewildered, then the expression on its face gradually turned to great joy, then ecstasy, and finally to vicious resentment.

Simultaneously, another gray-white human head emerged from the mask’s breach and floated in the air.

A third, a fourth…

These gray-white misty human heads floated in the air. At first, they seemed not to understand what was happening.

But soon, their expressions became the same as the first gray-white misty head, showing ecstasy and vicious resentment.

These things looked somewhat like vengeful spirits or ghosts from horror movies.

“Woo hoo hoo…”

These gray-white misty heads shrieked as they rushed towards the fleeing villagers nearby.

These gray-white misty heads grew more and more numerous.

More and more…

It was as if the mask hid an endless supply of vengeful spirits.

The Slovenly Daoist Priest’s expression changed: “Everyone, these are vengeful spirits! I beg you all to do your utmost!!”

With that, the Slovenly Daoist Priest grabbed several talisman papers, his lips moving rapidly.

“Thunder Summoning Talisman!”

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Several bolts of lightning descended from the sky.

Directly scattering the vengeful spirits in the air.

Before the Slovenly Daoist Priest could raise another talisman to activate it, even more vengeful spirits appeared.

This scene before him gave Chen Ye a sense of déjà vu.

Back in Rong City.

And later in Fog City, he had encountered similar swarm attacks.

Chen Ye even saw, among these vengeful spirits, Wu Dawei, the man who had taken his own life right before him and Chu Che.

Anomalies and humans were opposed, incompatible.

But Anomalies also used humans to grow.

Humans also used the Wonder Materials left after Anomalies died to craft Wonders and advance their Sequences.

A villager failed to dodge in time and was struck by one of the gray-white misty heads, collapsing softly to the ground.

In just a few seconds, the villager’s face also turned gray-white. He got up from the ground and began attacking the people around him.

The Daoist Priest slapped a talisman paper onto him, directly suppressing the vengeful spirit possessing the villager.

A sweep of the Peach Wood Sword completely destroyed this gray-white vengeful spirit.

Several vengeful spirits shrieked as they charged at Chen Ye.

They were precisely stabbed by a stinger protruding from the mist.

The vengeful spirits screamed and dissolved into mist before Chen Ye’s eyes.

The Death God’s figure flickered, blocking in front of Chen Ye.

Any vengeful spirit that approached was swept by the Death God’s scythe.

Finally screaming as they vanished into nothingness.

Iron Lion swung his fists in confusion. Unfortunately, his fists had little effect on these gray-white vengeful spirits.

Iron Lion’s physical attacks felt quite frustrating when facing these soul-type Anomalies.

The vengeful spirits seemed to fear the surging life force aura on Iron Lion’s body, so they all bypassed him to attack the others.

The Pink-haired Girl gave her long sword a slight shake, and the Fire Dragon appeared again, directly clearing the vengeful spirits around her.

Seeing this situation, Chen Ye relaxed slightly.

These vengeful spirits, like the Fog Slaves, weren’t very strong in combat.

Their numbers also didn’t seem as high as the Fog Slaves back then.

However, the Fog Slaves could only fight for three minutes before leaving the scene.

These vengeful spirits probably didn’t have that rule.

But right at that moment.

Chen Ye saw the flame-patterned mask lying on the ground slowly begin to change.

The red flame patterns gradually dissipated, replaced by black, sinister-looking runes appearing on the mask’s surface.

The previous small hole also repaired itself, good as new.

But the emergence of those gray-white vengeful spirits did not stop.

From the seam between the mask and the Anomaly’s slender man’s face, more and more vengeful spirits poured out.

These vengeful spirits were slightly different from the previous gray-white ones.

Some of the vengeful spirits struggling out of the mask brought a powerful sense of pressure to Chen Ye.

Many of these black vengeful spirits no longer had a basic human shape.

All sorts of bizarre, terrifying forms were present.

Some had ferocious fangs, some emanated ghostly auras…

“Careful!”

Chen Ye’s figure shot backward, enveloping his entire body in the Smoke Breath mist.

He also activated the Absolute Aura Concealment ability.

The next second!

Chen Ye saw the skinny man appear at the spot where he had just been standing, throwing a punch.

A punch accompanied by a sonic boom directly blasted a large hole through the Smoke Breath mist.

Damn…

So skinny, yet he could throw such an explosive punch!!!

Before Chen Ye could react.

The skinny man threw another punch, then another, and another.

Even while the skinny man was attacking.

Countless black and gray vengeful spirits never stopped squeezing out from behind the mask.

Chen Ye’s Smoke Breath mist was riddled with holes.

The Smoke Breath mist had no defensive function, only the ability to conceal aura.

This skinny Anomaly clearly also had some understanding of the Smoke Breath mist. He didn’t even enter the mist, directly attacking with the force of his punches.

Chen Ye’s entire body transformed into a wisp of green smoke, disappearing from his original location.

When he appeared the next second, Chen Ye had already moved away from the previous area.

“Yezi, leave this type of opponent to me!”

Iron Lion roared, charging forward with his bare bottom on full display.

It made Chen Ye’s Blood Eye twitch slightly.

There was simply no time to find a pair of underwear for Iron Lion right now.

This guy was excited, self-forgetful during battle.

At this moment, his eyes saw only his opponent.

As for whether his butt was exposed, he simply didn’t care!

The slender black-masked man said nothing, regardless of who his opponent was, and directly threw a punch.

Iron Lion laughed heartily and threw a punch in return.

Iron Lion was sent flying backward, crashing through and collapsing countless houses.

Chen Ye’s heart sank slightly.

So strong?

Even Iron Lion without transforming was no match?

The Gilded Mask represented rules and spatial power.

The flame-patterned mask represented fire control power.

And the black rune mask represented absolute power.

And those vengeful spirits multiplying at a geometric rate.

Did the mask have other forms as well?

Every second, the vengeful spirits squeezing out from behind the mask multiplied.

Even while exchanging blows with Iron Lion, those vengeful spirits never stopped.

In less than half a minute.

The long street was already filled with black and gray vengeful spirits everywhere.

The black vengeful spirits were more troublesome than the gray-white ones.

Even the Pink-haired Girl using her sword-control technique found it difficult to eliminate them.

Several of the pitch-black, ink-like vengeful spirits were not even affected by the Thunder Summoning Talismans.

Only the Five Thunder Talismans could disperse them.

Every single Five Thunder Talisman was extremely precious.

Even if the Slovenly Daoist Priest made talismans desperately every day, he probably couldn’t disperse this many vengeful spirits.

The Slovenly Daoist Priest was sweating profusely.

He sensed an aura of destruction.

Even if Chen Ye hid within Absolute Aura Concealment, it probably wouldn’t be of much use.

There were too many vengeful spirits.

They could probably just squeeze Chen Ye out of the Smoke Breath mist.

Chen Ye gripped the hilt of Hatred.

It seemed Hatred would finally have to be drawn.
