CHAPTER 300: CHAPTER 230 SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETING THE MISSION_2

Realizing this, Rosen was terrified.

He quickly picked up his pace, wanting to sprint home as fast as possible.

But he didn’t expect that before he had run two hundred meters, someone caught up with him from behind and said, "Bro, you jumped the gun. The referee is calling you back!"

"Jumped the gun? What the heck?" Rosen was suddenly puzzled. Looking back, he saw that it was actually a track, with spectators on both sides watching him. Among the group of runners, he was the only one still sprinting.

Only then did Rosen recall a high school race where someone next to him jumped the gun before the starting pistol went off, and without noticing, he kept running, leading others to believe he was the one who jumped the gun. It was quite awkward.

"No way, how could I possibly be back in the past now?"

Although Rosen liked listening to Jay Chou’s song "Back to the Past," these two things had no relation, right?

"Oh, right, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I must be under an illusion technique, blinded!"

Rosen then realized that the track behind him and the classmate calling him back were all ghosts in disguise.

"It seems I have to dispel this illusion first to see the situation clearly."

Rosen immediately made a hand seal to release the illusion technique: "Illusion Technique, Release!"

With the reversal of his chakra flow, the chakra shot to his mind, instantly clearing Rosen’s mind.

Looking back again, there was no track or classmate, only a group of ghosts with menacing claws, charging at him on the street!

Moreover, the street was filled with flying yellow paper, and on both sides were pale-faced people scattering the yellow paper. These people didn’t look like the living, but Rosen couldn’t say exactly what they were.

It felt like something connected to the Underworld.

"Damn, could it be a Hundred Ghosts Night Walk on the Mid-Autumn Festival? But it’s only evening, not the peak time for ghostly energy. Are these ghosts already so famished that they want to feast early?"

Rosen’s mind raced, but as he contemplated the situation, his feet maintained high-speed movements, forming a Shadowless Kick.

This was a cultivation technique he learned from a beggar, although it cost just a penny, it could unleash effects worth five pennies.

The effect appeared instantly, sweeping away the yellow paper on the ground around him.

This effect could actually ward off the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk, it seemed the brag wasn’t empty.

But just then, a bgm of "Universal Mercy" surprisingly emerged, overwhelming and momentarily countering the effect formed by Rosen’s Shadowless Kick.

Rosen’s five-cent effect was immediately diminished. Although it didn’t break his leg, it downgraded the effect from five cents to one cent.

"Damn, this is a bloodline suppression. The "Universal Mercy" bgm is a wide-range effect, targeting all enemy entities on the scene!"

Rosen thus realized that among these ghosts, he was considered a red-named monster.

Although this seemed like stating the obvious, it actually wasn’t. Before this, Rosen wasn’t one hundred percent sure whether the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk was just a routine walk or specifically targeting him.

But now that the bgm from the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk was impacting him, Rosen could be one hundred percent sure he had become a hunted target.

Fear surged in his heart.

But then Rosen’s eyes brightened.

Because, ahead on the road appeared an exit out of the underground palace!

"It seems the ancient tomb palace has come to an end, as long as I get out, the NPC that issued the mission outside can help fend off the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk."

Using NPCs to slay monsters was something Rosen often did before, though this way of slaying couldn’t gain experience points, he could at most get items dropped by the monsters.

"Wudang Ti Yunzong!"

Just as the ghosts were closing in from behind, Rosen had no choice but to use the long-lost Wudang Ti Yunzong to escape their grasps.

Then followed up with a Twelfth Section Leg Kick, sending the surrounding ghosts flying away.

Then came a Wandering Body Bagua Palm, treading on the Mud Walking, performed a full 360-degree massage on the ghosts.

Then again with a left front kick and a right whip kick, a lightning five consecutive whips, crackle, crackle, crackle!

The surrounding ghosts were struck by electricity, flying backwards.

Rosen just happened to finish his moves, arriving right at the exit, lightly jumped, and actually leaped out of the exit.

As Rosen left the exit of the ancient tomb palace,

the ghosts that were originally chasing behind suddenly heard a voice.

"Do not chase the desperate! Do not chase the desperate!"

The real demon surprisingly appeared behind the ghosts, galloping in on a Nightmare Warhorse.

"Demon General, why not let us kill him? He already knows the demon’s secret, he might report to those tomb raiders, then more righteous people will come with banners of demon-slaying to raid the tomb, which might affect the General’s work in excavating ghost and divine relics."

Hearing the words of the ghost soldier, the Demon General said, "Originally, I released the relevant information about the demon to deter those tomb raiders from brazenly delving deeper into the ancient tomb palace. Even if they occupy ground areas of the palace, they wouldn’t dare to continue excavation below. But now a spy has gotten this information and has left the palace passageway to the surface. If we suddenly make a move, we might easily face hefty blows from those tomb raiders. I guess there are NPCs on the surface, usually at level 100, and you guys, being only in your teens level-wise, do you intend to go up and court death?"
