24: Chapter 24 The High Ponytail in the Morgue

"Found it."

Lin Ye reluctantly let go of Leng Yue.

Leng Yue panted heavily, her deep red eyes misting over. A charming blush spread across her stunning cheeks, and even her long, swan-like neck was flushed with color.

She cast a coquettish glare at Lin Ye; the allure in her eyes nearly made Lin Ye lose his composure on the spot.

"Break!"

Without further hesitation, Lin Ye thrust his seven-section peach wood sword aggressively toward the red light above.

"Crack!"

Accompanied by a crisp sound like shattering glass, the surrounding space collapsed piece by piece like a mirror.

That oppressive feeling of being in a loop vanished instantly.

When Lin Ye turned his flashlight on again, they realized they weren't on any endless staircase at all, but standing in front of a rusty basement blast door.

Above the blast door hung a tattered sign: [B2 - Morgue].

Thick, dark red blood was seeping out from under the door crack, emitting a foul, fishy stench.

From behind that heavy iron door came the sounds of violent combat, gunfire, and the piercing crackle of electrical discharges!

"There are people inside!"

Lin Ye's expression sharpened. Judging by the commotion, someone was definitely in there fighting for their life against something terrifying.

"Boom!"

Just then, the thousand-pound blast door was violently smashed open from the inside by a massive, berserk force.

The two iron doors flew outward, slamming heavily against the corridor wall.

As the doors flew out, a figure in a black combat suit was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, rolling wretchedly across the floor seven or eight times before stopping at the base of the wall near Lin Ye's feet.

"Cough, cough... Pfft!"

The woman coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Lin Ye looked down and saw that it was none other than the Deputy Captain of The Ninth Bureau he had seen outside earlier, the high-ponytail cool beauty—Deputy Captain Chu Hongyan.

At this moment, Deputy Captain Chu Hongyan no longer possessed her previous heroic and spirited appearance.

Her high-tech combat suit had been torn into rags, revealing large patches of fair skin covered in bloody scratches.

The tactical stun gun in her hand was broken in two. Her high ponytail had come undone, and she panted wretchedly, her eyes filled with extreme despair and terror.

"Quick... run..."

Deputy Captain Chu Hongyan saw Lin Ye and the others standing at the door and hoarsely shouted.

"That is... a Mutated Blood Zombie King... it cannot be defeated!"

Following her gaze.

From the darkness deep within the morgue, heavy footsteps slowly approached.

A terrifying monster, two and a half meters tall, with no intact skin on its entire body, like a skinned mountain of flesh, walked out hideously.

The monster was wrapped in thick iron chains.

With every step it took, thick, foul-smelling blood dripped onto the floor, making a sizzling, corrosive sound.

Its eyes were two empty, bloody sockets, and several twisted human heads were embedded in its chest!

Clearly, the missing Ninth Bureau team members had already become nourishment for this monster!

"Heh heh heh..."

The Mutated Blood Zombie King let out a shrill, weird laugh, and its massive, blood-red claw violently swiped at Deputy Captain Chu Hongyan on the ground.

Deputy Captain Chu Hongyan closed her eyes in despair.

She knew she was truly going to die here this time.

"A Mutated Blood Zombie King?"

At this tense, life-or-death moment, Lin Ye sneered disdainfully.

He didn't even move; he simply pulled a piece of yellow talisman paper from his pocket and stylishly held it between his right-hand sword fingers.

"Heaven and Earth mysterious sect, root of all vital energy!"

"Cultivating through myriad kalpas, proving my divine powers!"

As Lin Ye recited the majestic Golden Light Divine Incantation, the talisman in his hand instantly erupted with a blinding crimson-gold light!

"Go!"

Lin Ye flicked his wrist, and the Golden Light talisman stuck precisely onto the Mutated Blood Zombie King's incoming giant bloody claw.

"Boom!!!"

The pure-yang golden light exploded instantly.

The Mutated Blood Zombie King let out a shrill scream.

That blood hand, as tough as steel, was blasted into a bloody mess by this pure Taoist pure-yang fire, and its massive body was forced back three steps!

Deputy Captain Chu Hongyan snapped her eyes open, looking in disbelief at the young back standing before her.

One move!

With just a single talisman, he forced back the Mutated Blood Zombie King that had wiped out the entire elite squad of The Ninth Bureau?!

How is this possible!

However, a scene that would make her feel even more despair and shatter her worldview was yet to come.

The enraged Mutated Blood Zombie King roared at the sky, and violent blood-colored resentment surged into the air.

It swung its other intact giant claw, bringing with it terrifying wind pressure, and smashed down toward Lin Ye like Mount Tai crushing the top.

"Husband, don't let such filth dirty your hands."

A female voice, filled with endless arrogance and majesty, rang out behind Lin Ye.

Leng Yue, who had been standing quietly behind Lin Ye, elegantly took a step forward.

Deputy Captain Chu Hongyan didn't even see her move; she only saw this tall, mysterious woman casually raise a hand as fair as jade.

"Bang!"

A dull, loud noise.

Leng Yue's seemingly delicate jade hand steadily caught the Mutated Blood Zombie King's massive claw, which was powerful enough to crush a small car!

"Roar?"

A trace of human-like confusion seemed to flash in the Mutated Blood Zombie King's empty eye sockets.

It exerted all its strength, only to find that its pride-and-joy power was like that of a ridiculous infant before this woman!

Leng Yue slightly lifted her exquisite chin, her deep red eyes hidden behind sunglasses looking coldly at the behemoth before her.

"Just a piece of rotten flesh that absorbed some Yin energy, and you dare to make such a racket in front of my Husband?"

"Noisy."

Leng Yue coldly spat out two words.

The next second.

A terrifying scarlet flame suddenly erupted from Leng Yue's palm!

Red Lotus Karmic Fire!

"Boom!!!"

The flames spread wildly along the Mutated Blood Zombie King's arm.

The Mutated Blood Zombie King didn't even have time to scream. Its invulnerable body lasted less than three seconds under the burning of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

"Whoosh—"

A cold gust of wind blew by, and the two-and-a-half-meter-tall Mutated Blood Zombie King eerily turned into a pile of fine black ash.

One-shot kill.

The entire corridor fell into a deathly silence.

Deputy Captain Chu Hongyan, slumped on the ground, had completely forgotten the pain in her body.

She stared blankly at the cold woman in black in front of her, and at the young boss with that annoying smirk on his face.

Is this really a freelance cultivator?!

If the Director of The Ninth Bureau came, could they achieve such an exaggerated one-shot kill?!

"Who... who on earth are you people..."

Deputy Captain Chu Hongyan swallowed hard, her voice trembling.

Lin Ye stylishly retracted his sword fingers, turned around, and naturally reached out to pull Deputy Captain Chu Hongyan up from the ground.

"Didn't I just say? I don't worship the Three Pure Ones, and I belong to no sect. Taiping Old Street, Lins Funeral Shop."

Lin Ye raised an eyebrow handsomely, then wrapped his arm around Leng Yue's slender waist, and took the opportunity to pat Frost Star on the head.

"Of course, you can also call me... the Husband of these two peerless powerhouses."

Just as Lin Ye was enjoying the thrill of showing off.

His peripheral vision keenly caught a glimpse of the corner of the morgue deepest inside, where the freezer was originally placed.

A huge crack had appeared on the floor there at some unknown time.

A surge of Yin energy, so dense it had condensed into blue ice crystals, was continuously gushing out from the crack!

"The entrance to the Extreme Yin Spirit Spring!"

Lin Ye's eyes lit up. He wanted both the five million and the Extreme Yin Spirit Spring tonight!
