Mysterious Revival

"Report, the detector shows that a new person suddenly appeared in the room. The one who had been staying there suspected to be Yang Jian has started to move. He's taking the elevator down from the fourth floor, looks like he's going to leave the villa."

From afar, across the river on the opposite bank.

An operative dressed in camouflage lay in a high position, surveying the villa's every move with a detector from a distance.

Next to him, a sniper lay prone.

A heavy sniper rifle was positioned on the ground, aimed with precision at the villa across the river.

The straight-line distance wouldn't be more than five hundred meters.

With such a sniping range, any sniper with even a little bit of training would absolutely not miss.

And to ensure a foolproof plan, there were three such sniper points.

"A new person? What's going on here?" Kong Feng furrowed his brows, unconsciously slowing his steps.

"Not sure. The detector didn't pick up a second lifeform in the villa before. It seems like it just suddenly appeared," the observer reported.

Kong Feng said, "Never mind that, keep an eye on the one who might leave the villa at any moment. The moment you confirm it's Yang Jian, take the opportunity to snipe him. You guys must fire the first shot."

"Understood," the observer said.

Kong Feng put down his earpiece and asked, "How's the setup around here?"

"All ready, just waiting for Yang Jian to show up," Daisy and several other members nodded their heads.

Kong Feng took a slow breath and said, "Then let's begin. Everyone else, stay hidden. I hope this mission is completed successfully."

Although it wasn't his first time hunting a Ghost Master, this time he felt an inexplicable pressure.

Was it the uneasiness brought on by Ah Hai's death, or some sort of premonition of death?

He didn't know.

But now that the mission had been accepted, there was no choice but to go through with it. He hoped this Yang Jian, like the other Ghost Masters, could be dealt with smoothly, without any complications.

"Zzt zzt..." The sound of electricity buzzed.

The observer from across the river said, "The target is about to walk out of the villa, entering the range."

Kong Feng's expression became stern, immediately looking towards the isolated manor villa.

From his angle, he could see Yang Jian's position and also instantly discern whether the plan succeeded or failed.

Long-range sniping was just the first step.

At that moment, the shooter pulled the bolt back, a golden yellow bullet larger than a finger was chambered, waiting for the moment it would fly out.

Aside from some Ghost Masters with exceptional bodies.

Many Ghost Masters could be sniped, a shot to the head and even if they had subdued an Evil Ghost, it would mean death.

At that moment, Yang Jian was indeed walking out of the villa.

The death of Zhang Wei had raised his alertness. There must be some dangerous individuals in this residential complex, and nine times out of ten they were here for him.

Opening the front door.

Walking out of the villa.

Having not gone out for several days, the sunlight outside seemed blinding, causing some dizziness.

"Target confirmed, take the shot," the observer immediately identified Yang Jian as he walked out and promptly told the sniper.

The sniper, who had already aimed at the front door, didn't hesitate.

"Bang~!"

A gunshot resounded, kicking up dust around, a specially made bullet flew out, heading straight for the target's head.

If it hit, the head would explode instantly.

Forget the Ghost Master, even Jesus would have to kneel.

The next moment.

A door of the villa was pierced through, the bullet flew into the house, blasting a chunk of cement off the wall, the golden bullet became deformed, deeply embedded inside.

The target... disappeared?

"What's going on? Where did the target go?" The observer was stunned for a moment.

Just now, Yang Jian, who walked out of the house, had vanished.

As if in the blink of an eye, the person had vanished into thin air.

"Report, target disappeared, target disappeared," the observer hastened to communicate.

Immediately cursed, "Fuck, pull back immediately, mission failed."

But before he could finish his sentence.

A chilling cold wind arose behind them, and the temperature around seemed to drop several degrees in an instant.

Without waiting for them to turn around.

A black shadow enveloped them as if someone had appeared behind them at some unknown time.

"Are you looking for me?" Yang Jian was enveloped in a red glow, his forehead's ghost eye fierce and eerie.

With his appearance, the air around seemed to be tinged with the scent of death.

"Damn it." The observer broke out into a cold sweat.

No longer caring about why the mission target suddenly appeared behind him, he only knew that this person was extremely dangerous.

Draw the gun, turn around, done in one fluid motion.

The action was polished to perfection, as if after countless rigorous trainings--under such reflexes, even if an enemy had a gun to one's back, there was still a chance to counter-kill.

But as soon as he turned around, his head simply fell off his neck.

No blood, no wounds, as if a piece was simply removed from a set of building blocks.

"Think you can counter-kill me? Not going to happen," Yang Jian still stood there, his ghost eye watching over everything.

"Maybe you've successfully killed other Ghostmasters before, but such success won't befall me."

"Run~!"

The man immediately scrambled away from Yang Jian.

However, he hadn't gone far before his body simply fell apart.

Arms, legs, scattered all over the ground, not a single part intact.

After harnessing the power of the Evil Ghost, taking care of two enemies wasn't difficult.

If it weren't for the fact that he had used the Ghost Domain to save Zhang Wei and hadn't planned to close it, Yang Jian believed he would be dead by now.

Blown head, even with two ghosts under his control, he wouldn't survive.

But there are no ifs in reality.

The reality was he lived, and everyone else had to die.

"Bang~! Bang~!"

Then came two more gunshots.

From Guanjiang Residential Complex's direction, two shots were fired from two high points towards here, each aiming to assassinate.

This was a follow-up shot.

After confirming the first shot was a failure, the man who acted before would definitely be attacked by Yang Jian, so it was necessary to keep shooting to ensure the operation wouldn't fail.

But in reality, they had already failed.

The moment Yang Jian was in the Ghost Domain, ordinary assassination methods were doomed to fail.

The bullets passed through Yang Jian's body and exploded a clump of soil on the grassland behind him.

But Yang Jian did not fall to the ground; he disappeared again.

"First stage combat operation failed, commence the Second Stage combat plan," Kong Feng's face changed, he immediately said into the walkie-talkie.

"Boss, your three-stage hunting plan seems a bit dicey, the target looks a bit evil, feels like he's not human anymore...he's more like a ghost," one of the members said with some panic.

"Three-stage hunting plan, sounds like it nearly scared me to death, but looking at it seems like your plan is suffering setbacks, need me to give you a hand?"

Suddenly, a voice appeared behind them.

"What?"

The crowd was shocked and turned around fiercely to look.

But they saw Yang Jian, who had no idea when he had sat down on a bench by the roadside, propping his head and looking at them.

Some reacted instinctively to draw their guns.

"Now you've been surrounded," Yang Jian reminded from his chair, "If I were you, I'd throw down my weapons, put my hands on my head, and lie on the ground begging for mercy. Don't do anything stupid. Otherwise, people will get killed."

When did he get here?

A chill ran through everyone's hearts.

But Kong Feng understood.

This was the Ghost Domain.

The information stated that within the Ghost Domain one could experience hallucinations, unable to distinguish between reality and illusion. Moreover, once you entered the Ghost Domain, there was no way to leave by normal means; it was one of those unsolvable abilities.

"No one's being reckless? Good, can you tell me who sent you to kill me?" Yang Jian continued.

"Bang~!"

A gunslinger instantly drew his gun and fired. Before Yang Jian could finish speaking, a bullet pierced through his head.

"Don't shoot..." Kong Feng tried to stop him, but it was already too late.

Normally, this would be fine, but this was not a normal situation.

"Boss, don't worry, he's done for," the gunslinger said with a taunting smile as he saw Yang Jian's body fall to the ground. "What's all the fuss about? I've seen plenty of spirit tamers like him. Thinking they're so great because they have some special power, but actually they're not hard to kill at all."

"You're right, I've also seen plenty of armed men like you. Thinking you're above other spirit tamers because you've completed a few missions successfully. But to me, you're easier to kill than squashing an ant."

Suddenly, a gun materialized and pressed against the back of the gunslinger's head.

The cold pistol against his scalp made his hair stand on end.

"Wait, wait a second," the gunslinger said, his eyes filled with fear.

Yang Jian didn't bother listening to his babble and simply fired.

The body heavily fell to the ground, the back of the gunslinger's head blooming open.

"Immediately initiate the Second Stage plan, right now," Kong Feng ordered, panic-stricken, and then quickly led his men to retreat.

The next moment.

The sound of gas leaking filled the air, and plumes of golden smoke rose from all directions, quickly enveloping the area.

"Why are there always idiots who like to gamble with their lives? Isn't it good to be alive?" Yang Jian glanced at the golden smoke without much concern.

This stuff contained gold and could reveal unseen spirits or interfere with the actions of a spirit tamer.

However, before the smoke wafted over.

The sky turned red, and the surrounding area darkened suddenly, as if day had turned into night.

Kong Feng and his group were all enveloped in the Ghost Domain.

Since you're here, don't even think about leaving.

Yang Jian casually walked into this world, in the Ghost Domain, where he controlled everything.

At this very moment.

On the rooftop of a villa.

"The mission failed. Although Kong Feng had devised a three-phase hunting plan, and they were all perfect, unfortunately they met Yang Jian, a spirit tamer with the Ghost Domain. He can't be dealt with by common sense. They'll soon be wiped out by Yang Jian within the Ghost Domain. Ye Feng, you must take action," Wang Xiaoqiang said as he watched.

"No problem, but don't forget what you promised— that you can restrain his Ghost Domain," said a man in a coat as he lit a cigarette.

"Of course," Wang Xiaoqiang said, looking at the box in his hand.

"Then let's meet this Yang Jian," Ye Feng said as he flicked away his cigarette and jumped off the rooftop.

"Bang~!"

The landing wasn't as perfect as imagined; he fell flat on his face.

But quickly he shook his head like nothing happened and stood up: "I really shouldn't have climbed that high if I wasn't hurt."

At this moment in the Ghost Domain.

Yang Jian held a head in his hand, like an Evil Ghost, recklessly harvesting lives, mad and ruthless. In just a moment, these operatives had been nearly all dealt with.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't tell me who sent you, I have a pretty good guess. Someone so impatient to kill me can only be one person—that would be Wang Xiaoqiang whose entertainment club I destroyed. Wang Xiaoqiang must hate me to the bone. But it doesn't matter. He's bound to die from the ghost revival eventually, he won't last much longer."

He casually tossed aside the head in his hand.

The head rolled on the ground, belonging to the captain named Kong Feng.

At this moment, Daisy and the other team members were frantically running for their lives.

She was panting heavily, her face etched with terror.

They never should have accepted this mission. The man was simply a devil in human skin, and anyone who faced him felt nothing but despair.

The captain was already dead, and most of the others were close to it.

Daisy felt her survival was only temporary, and that it was only a matter of time before the devil turned his attention to her.

"Hey, pretty big-chested foreign woman, could you not run? Your bouncing around is giving me quite the headache." Just when she thought she had run far enough, a man unexpectedly appeared in front of her.

The moment she saw Yang Jian, Daisy knew she was done for.

"Out of respect for your beautiful head, I'll let you take your own life. It would be such a waste if I were to do it," Yang Jian said with a smile on his lips, but his eyes were cold and chilling.

"If you let me go, maybe I can sleep with you," Daisy said immediately.

Yang Jian replied, "That's a pity. I thought you'd choose a smarter way to end your sinful life."

"Bang!"

Daisy suddenly fired a shot at Yang Jian.

"I told you, sneak attacks are useless. You can't even find out where I am, so how could you possibly carry out that so-called 'Three-Phase Hunt'?" Yang Jian said with a mocking smile, appearing behind her.

A pistol was pressed against her heart from the back.

"As a special courtesy to a beautiful woman, I'll leave you a complete corpse. This is a custom in Asia; consider it as following local traditions."

The gunshot rang out.

Yang Jian turned and walked away, while Daisy collapsed on the ground, her body limp and blood gushing out. Her eyes wide open, she stared ahead.

She couldn't believe she had been killed so easily.

Killed by a kid not even twenty years old.

However, at that moment,

Wang Xiaoqiang walked to the spot where the Ghost Eelfish had appeared and then pulled a withered finger from his suitcase, stabbing it violently into the ground.

The pitch-black nail sank into the earth.

What happened next was unbelievable.

The Ghost Domain that had vanished from sight began to reveal itself.

A reddish glow enveloped a thirty-meter radius nearby, with Yang Jian right in the middle, and a couple of surviving fish that had slipped through the net were scattering aimlessly like headless flies.

"Hmm?"

Yang Jian suddenly halted and turned to look in the direction of the disturbance.

He saw Wang Xiaoqiang looking towards him with a cold expression, as well as the strange finger at his feet.

That finger seemed to be able to directly restrict the Ghost Domain.

Wang Xiaoqiang didn't speak; he immediately grabbed the finger on the ground and began retreating steadily.

The finger acted like a nail pinning down the Ghost Domain, pulling it along as he retreated.

It resembled a red line being stretched out.

And as the distance grew, the range of Yang Jian's Ghost Domain rapidly shrank.

"Seeking death,"

Yang Jian's gaze turned icy, and he instantly appeared in front of Wang Xiaoqiang. Whatever he was trying to do, he'd deal with this guy first.

"Friend, no need to be so hasty." A man in a trench coat stepped in front of him,

with a slightly arrogant smile on his face, as if he didn't quite take Yang Jian seriously.

"An ally?" Yang Jian's expression shifted slightly.

He wasn't surprised; in fact, he had expected it.

Wang Xiaoqiang had clashed with him before and was not his match. If he didn't have help, coming after him would be a death wish.

"You must be Ye Feng," Yang Jian said, scrutinizing the man.

He had already heard about him from Wang Yue.

A very special existence in the Xiaoqiang Entertainment Club, the only one to have tamed two ghosts.
