School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert

Puff...

Xiao Han spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, slowly prostrating himself. He asked in astonishment, "Who exactly are you?"

"It seems you are unaware of the existence of Cultivators yet," the old man said, frowning.

"Cultivation World?" Xiao Han wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Although he had never encountered any Cultivators on Earth, he knew of the existence of the Cultivation World, because his father was a Cultivator hidden in this world. Of course, Xiao Han had only recently found out about these matters.

"You know?" the old man asked.

"Of course!" Xiao Han nodded and replied, "However, the Cultivation World has rules—no Cultivator should interfere with the mundane affairs. You are breaking the rules."

"You think you can still go back alive?" the old man's face darkened ominously.

"That's not necessarily true!" Xiao Han wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth again. Holding the Ruyi Stick, he summoned the Yin Spirit and, with its assistance, soared into the air.

"Trying to run? It won't be that easy!" the old man snorted coldly.

Whoosh...

The old man moved very quickly. In the blink of an eye, he had caught up to Xiao Han.

"So fast!" Xiao Han's eyes could capture extremely fast movements, but the old man's speed still seemed remarkably swift to him. He was even somewhat surprised. Unexpectedly, this frail-looking old man possessed such terrifying speed and astonishing strength.

"Die!" Xiao Han suddenly turned around and fiercely swung the iron stick at the old man.

Unperturbed, the old man pinched his fingers, and a gray light shot towards Xiao Han.

Bang!

The light hit Xiao Han squarely in the chest. Xiao Han staggered, nearly falling over.

"Boy, go to hell!" the old man was intent on killing. Xiao Han was not from the Cultivation World, hence not bound by its rules, but the old man was. Therefore, he absolutely could not let Xiao Han leave alive, or else he would be wanted by the Cultivation World.

Seeing the old man chasing him to kill, Xiao Han hurriedly fled.

"Don't even think about running!" the old man suddenly accelerated and chased after him.

Xiao Han saw that he was about to be caught, he urgently yelled, "Damn it, Ghost King, show yourself now, I'm about to die!"

"I told you before, you're too arrogant," Ghost King's voice came, saying, "You wouldn't listen, and now you're paying the price."

"Damn, with timing like this, you still dare to scold me!" Xiao Han said speechlessly.

"Ignoring the old man's advice leads to immediate losses. You, who fear neither heaven nor earth, why are you scared now?" Ghost King continued to mock Xiao Han from the side.

Xiao Han cursed loudly, "If you don't come now, I'm really going to die."

Ghost King snorted coldly and said, "I'll make an exception and help you this time, but I also find this old man displeasing. After killing him, I will absorb his soul, which might help heal the injury inside me!"

Ghost King had not returned to the Ghost Mansion because he was injured and had not reached his peak strength, so he had been hiding in The Forbidden City, tyrannizing the lost souls that lingered there. Later, he surrendered to Xiao Han and healed in the Soul Bead, which, although slow, at least offered a chance of recovery.

Whoosh...

Ghost King immediately emerged from the Soul Bead.

The massive body considerably frightened the old man.

"What... what kind of ghost is this?!" Although the old man was widely experienced, he had never seen the Ghost King before.

"After you die, old thing, you will come to my turf," Ghost King snorted coldly and said, "But today, I'll send you on your way first!"

Having said that, Ghost King extended his Ghost Claw.

Whoosh whoosh...

A bloody light grabbed towards the old man.

Hiss hiss...

The old man's chest was instantly torn apart. Blood dripped everywhere, and his frail body suddenly sported several deep scars, presenting a terrifying sight. Ghost King's move showcased his extraordinary strength, and the old man knew he could not withstand Ghost King's attack, so he quickly turned to flee.

"Trying to run, get your ass back here!" Ghost King roared.

After cursing, Ghost King decisively pursued his opponent.

As the old man ran, he kept looking back. Ghost King was about to catch up.

Whoosh...

In haste, the old man deployed the only magical treasure he had, a millstone, which was specifically powerful against Yin Objects. As the millstone rose into the air, a strong burst of light was released into the sky.

Seeing this, Ghost King quickly covered his eyes with his hands.

In that instant, the light was so piercing that he could not keep his eyes open. Feeling scared and panicked, he hesitated.

However, the next second, he immediately adapted. After all, he was the Ghost King, not just a ghost or a lowly Yin Spirit. The Ghost King's ability to adapt was strong. He roared, "Old ghost, you're dead!"

Having said that, he quickly charged over. His speed surged, rushing forward in the blink of an eye, very fast.

"Damn it!" the old man exclaimed, dumbfounded.

After that, the old man started to run.

The Ghost King wouldn't give him a chance to escape, quickly catching up and then smashing the old man's head with a smack. Following that, a black Qi emerged from the old man's body and disappeared into the air instantly.

"Hmph, mere trifle!" the Ghost King snorted coldly, spreading his hands and murmuring in a language that Xiao Han completely couldn't understand.

Before long, a cluster of black Qi gathered. It formed a human shape.

That was the old man's Yin Spirit.

Shivering, the old man said, "Lord Ghost King, I beg… please spare me?"

"Hmph!" retorted the Ghost King coldly, "You violated the rules of the Cultivation World, I can't spare you today!"

After he spoke, the Ghost King took a deep breath. The old man was immediately absorbed into his body.

"Ah!" a shriek of agony.

Immediately after, the old man vanished without a trace, while the Ghost King, with his eyes closed, shivered all over. Absorbing the old man's Yin Spirit meant seizing all of the old man's cultivation for himself. This was very beneficial for the Ghost King's injuries.

However, Xiao Han found it extremely cruel, because for him, this was akin to cannibalism. Xiao Han looked at the Ghost King and asked, "Did you just skin him alive?"

"Yes!" the Ghost King nodded and said, "Actually, losing the physical body does not impact a Cultivator much. As long as the cultivation remains, they can still exist in the Cultivation World."

"Is that so?" Xiao Han was hearing this viewpoint for the first time.

"Yes!" nodded the Ghost King, "The Cultivation World has the Yin and Yang Realms, along with the Demon Beast World. 'Yin' refers to the Yin Dynasty Netherworld, 'Yang' is the mortal world of the living, and the Demon Beast World is the filthiest and most chaotic place."

"What place?" asked Xiao Han.

"Your python belongs to the Demon Beast World, an animal that has cultivated into a spirit," explained the Ghost King with a wave of his hand. "So, you better be careful. The Cultivation World is swarming with powerful masters. Even I don't dare to be too arrogant. You should keep a low profile!"

"I understand now!" nodded Xiao Han, acknowledging his lesson today.

Just as Xiao Han was preparing to retreat.

Suddenly, a series of roaring sounds came from the sky. In the sky, several armed police helicopters were hovering. A large number of armed police were approaching from all around. The Ghost King glanced at Xiao Han and said, "Looks like trouble's coming your way again, kid!"

"With you here, what's there to fear?" Xiao Han grinned.

"I can't help you much!" the Ghost King glanced at Xiao Han, "You'd better call out your boys."

"Boys?" Xiao Han was stunned. When did he have underlings?

While Xiao Han was puzzled, with a wave of his hand from the Ghost King, twelve Yin Spirits quickly appeared, and among them was a girl in a green long dress with scale-like decorations, her long hair fluttering, her expression charming. She was the Golden Giant Python, Xiao Yue, whom Xiao Han had captured in the Mist Forest. Now, her injuries had healed.

"Master… Xiao Han!" Xiao Yue suddenly remembered Xiao Han's earlier instructions.

"Hmm." Xiao Han nodded slightly and said, "Today, cut loose and kill. Don't hold back!"

"Yes!" Xiao Yue nodded.

Xiao Han looked coldly at Xiao Yue, then asked, "I heard absorbing human souls is greatly beneficial for your cultivation?"

"Yes!" nodded Xiao Yue.

Xiao Han smiled and said, "The souls here might be a bit filthy, but go ahead and absorb them boldly. Don't worry about anything else."

"Yes!" Xiao Yue's expression seemed somewhat haughty.

As a Golden Giant Python from the Demon Beast World, she belonged to a noble lineage. Ordinary people did not dare to contend with the Golden Giant Python family, as it ranked far above ordinary pythons and animals within the Demon Beast World, making it a noble among them. Hence, ordinary people couldn't dare challenge the Golden Giant Python family.

Standing imposingly at the top of a hospital, the Ghost King looked over the tall building, which had over thirty floors. This place had now become Xiao Han and his group's stronghold.

"Parrot calling, target spotted, Parrot calling, target spotted!" the first armed helicopter hovered in midair, spotting Xiao Han and his group from a distance.

"Firepower suppression on the target immediately," the headquarters voice came through the headset.

"Received, received!" The armed helicopter immediately began to hover.

The firepower targeted.

Ratatat...

The bullets swept through in an instant.

"Here it comes!" the Ghost King
