Chapter 526: Confrontation
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
"You... you're Fang Yuan?"
Zhan Tianhu stood up and looked at Fang Yuan. He could not conceal his shock at all.
As a member of Tantai Family, he possessed a secret technique which allowed him to sense bloodlines which were the same as his.
Although the sensing range was very small, under such a situation where he was face to face with Fang Yuan, he would be a fool if he could not discover such.
"Looks like we have a lot to talk about!"
Fang Yuan nonchalantly sat opposite the sofa and opened a can of soda.
"You…..."
To outsiders, Fang Yuan was a childish brat; how dared he seat on equal footings with the respected president? This made Chen Xin enraged at once.
"Chen Xin!"
Zhan Tianhu shouted, "Back off!"
After he was done berating his subordinate, he turned around and looked at Fang Yuan.
"At first, I thought it was just a rumour that you stopped the pawnshop. But after seeing you, I totally believe it! Not bad, there are a lot of things that we can discuss between us! Let's go to the side room!"
"President?"
The expression on Chen He and others' faces had changed. Now that they saw the two of them might have some sort of relationship, they could help but to start guessing about Fang Yuan's background.
"Who knows he might be President's bastard child or what. As you all know, President has always been single..."
A yellow-haired person suggested cheekily.
"Scumbag Lin Qi, what are you talking about?"
Chen Xin, who had a crush on the president, immediately retorted as though she was a wild cat with its hair all puffed up. "I dare you to repeat that?"
"Hehe, I'm just joking..."
Lin Qi touched his head.
However, at the next moment, something strange suddenly happened!
"Pak!"
Lin Qi's head just suddenly rolled down. The wound on his neck was gushing with blood like a fountain which almost dyed Chen Xin entirely red.
"Ahhh!"
Under the young girl's shriek, the hairs of everyone in the entire apartment stood on its end as they looked around alertly.
"What happened? A ghost invaded? Could it be that this apartment is cursed before?"
Fang Yuan furrowed his brows.
Whereas Zhan Tianhu felt very helpless at his own luck, "Before moving in, I've already checked through thoroughly. There shouldn't be such a possibility."
'Yet another ghost that can hide from my Fiery Golden Eyes?'
There was some sort of bad omen in Fang Yuan's mind.
'This frequency is way too high! It definitely isn't a coincidence!'
Although invisible killing was a trick all Murderous Level ghosts knew, what kind were of people were here?
Not only were there elites from the Exorcists Association here, Fang Yuan and Zhan Tianhu were here too.
To be able to kill an elite member in such an environment meant that this ghost's strength was already close to the Strange Level!
"Looks like... our discussion has to be delayed!"
Zhan Tianhu went back into the centre of his team members. It was evident that there was a tinge of alertness in his voice.
"Ok, let's settle this sudden enemy first….."
Fang Yuan replied with a slight smile, "You wouldn't mind if I use some tricks to find the ghost, right?"
"Of course I wouldn't mind."
Zhan Tianhu answered.
"Great!"
Fang Yuan nodded his head and reached out his right hand.
At this moment, a gap suddenly emerged from his palm. Streaks of black hair extended out and immediately, an ashen and colourless face with a blank stare appeared.
An evil ghost had just been created by Fang Yuan!
This was an ability Fang Yuan obtained after sealing the Paranormal Pawnshop, the ability to derive curses and control lower-levelled ghosts!
"What... what exactly are you?"
Even though Jiese the Monk was prepared for Fang Yuan antics, this scene caused him and the other exorcists to be horrified.
What did they just saw?
A ghost that just crawled out from a person's palm?
"It must be you!"
Chen Xin screamed, "President, Lin Qi's death must be caused by him! He is not human, he is... the incarnation of a ghost!"
After releasing part of the curse, Fang Yuan's physical property was like that of a ghost. Those exorcists who were skilled in sensing would definitely treat him like a powerful ghost.
"Go and find that ghost!"
Fang Yuan did not care about her and immediately commanded. He then immediately extended his five fingers which turned into ghostly silhouettes.
"Ahh! Don't come over, you evil!"
However, Chen Xin was obviously terrified. Seeing as Fang Yuan was going forward, she immediately whipped out a petite pistol, "Die!"
"Swoosh!"
The silhouette flashed past and Fang Yuan arrived in front of Chen Xin. He kicked away Chen He and grabbed Chen Xin's wrist at once. He then took away her pistol.
"President Zhan, is there something wrong with your subordinate's brain?"
Fang Yuan asked calmly as he looked at Zhan Tianhu who stood there with his palm already sliced open.
"My apologies..."
Zhan Tianhu remained silent for a while before he continued, "This subordinate of mine is still under shock from meeting a long-haired female ghost, she might have fully recovered from it yet!"
"Amituofo, I can testify that while Fang Yuan's tricks are strange, he is really a human!"
Jiese the Monk quickly came forward too.
"I believe the master!"
Zhan Tianhu could only belief. Else, with the moves Fang Yuan revealed just now, he could easily kill everyone here!
Before Zhan Tianhu met Fang Yuan, he would never believe that there was someone with such a fast response speed. But now, he totally believed.
'But... obtaining the abilities of ghosts using a human body... isn't one of Tantai Family's inheritance. Could this be that experiment by the elders?'
With such a thought, Zhan Tinahu looked at Fang Yuan's gaze and was immediately filled with mixed feelings.
"Even with a reason, I hate it when someone points their gun at me. This is just a small lesson, if there's a next time, you will be killed!"
Fang Yuan used his strength slightly and a crisp sound could be heard.
Chen Xin let out a wail. It was evident that her arms were twisted broken.
After such, Fang Yuan turned around and headed towards a certain direction, "Found it!"
The six ghosts disappeared into the void just now as they searched for the powerful ghost. But now, they relayed information back which made Fang Yuan immediately charge outside like a bomb.
"Let's follow!"
Zhan Tianhu immediately tailed behind, "We must avenge Lin Qi's death!"
"In front!"
"Turn left!"
Fang Yuan was like a bolt of lightning. After he charged out the apartment, he dashed towards a small alley.
All the ghosts he created were at the Murderous Level or Spirit level. Although it was difficult for humans to look for ghosts, it was much easier for ghosts to look for ghosts.
At this moment, Fang Yuan could sense that the curse he created was continuously dissipating.
Although ghosts could be re-formed after a period of time, such combat power was already almost at the Strange Level stage.
Thankfully, Fang Yuan created six ghosts. Even if a few of the ghosts were destroyed, there would still be a few that stuck on to the enemy tightly which allowed Fang Yuan to obtain the location of the ghost.
How astonishing was his speed? The surrounding sceneries moved backwards rapidly which made that thing unable to escape at all.
"It discovered me! It purposely ran to the big street!"
Fang Yuan dashed onto a road. His eyes locked onto a bus that was about to drive off.
"Stop!"
Fang Yuan picked up a motorcycle on the roadside and hurled it towards the bus like a rock.
"Crash!"
The windows on the bus cracked and sparks flew.
Met with such a situation, cries and wails could be heard from the bus. The people on the bus could not leave even if they wanted to.
"A Superman!"
At the side, numerous pedestrians stared at Fang Yuan in awe. Some of them even took photographs of him.
"What... the!"
Behind him, Zhan Tianhu, Jiese the Monk and others arrived one by one and surrounded the scene.
Seeing such, Chen He suddenly felt that the kick Fang Yuan gave him just now was definitely not with his full strength. Else, even his intestines would have definitely been punctured.
"That... Jiese the Monk, is Fang Yuan's actions always this rash?"
As Zhan Tianhu looked at the growing crowd surrounding the scene and listened to the approaching police sirens, he felt as though he was collapsing inside.
'After today's battle, will us exorcists be forced to reveal ourselves to the common people?'
'If tons of scary rumours spread, it's not a good thing for humans!'
"I'm not sure about this, perhaps Fang Yuan has his own plans?"
Jiese the Monk was feeling very helpless too, especially after he saw how his bald head was attracting the looks of many. Numerous photographs were taken of him and there were even spectators that came to ask him for autographs.
"Keke! I never imagined that you two betrayers would appear together!"
With no other way to escape, the human silhouette which was being chased stood on the centre of the road and let out a strange laughter.
"Two..."
"Betrayers?"
This piece of information was not huge. Fang Yuan and Zhan Tianhu remained still; however, Jiese the Monk could not help but feel suspicious as he scanned around.
"No need to hide anymore! I should have met you before when I was in the family!"
Fang Yuan said calmly.
With astonishing memory, Fang Yuan instantly remembered this person, "You are... Tantai Juelie?"
In terms of seniority, this person was Tantai Mieming's uncle. However, his exorcism skills were not that good. It was hard to imagine how he could struggle free from the netherworld and was even confidently seeking vengeance.
"That's right, it's me!"
Tantai Juelie took off his face scarf and revealed a face filled with scars. Children who saw such a face would definitely be scared and cry immediately.
"Tantai Mieming! Tantai Guihu! The two off you can't run away anymore!"
"Tantai Guihu?"
Fang Yuan glanced at Zhan Tianhu. He knew that was his real name.
"Sigh... Juelie, why has your face become like this?"
Tantai Guihu sighed as he continued, "Also... the reason why I don't return to the family is not that I betrayed the family. It's just that I want to look for the source of all this! Believe me, I'm already very close to the truth."
"Tantai Family?"
Outside, Chen Xin mumbled, "How come president never told us that he is a member of Tantai Family before?"
"Amituofo!"
Whereas, Jiese the Monk felt that was reasonable. Only such a family would produce monsters like Fang Yuan!
"Looks like you are filled with confidence, is it because of that ghost?"
Fang Yuan looked at Tantai Juelie. His eyes glowed with a cold light, "How many times have I told you all, do not interfere with my decision! When the right time comes, I will definitely return and resolve all this!"
