Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 167 The Time Traveler vs. The Son of Fortune
"Try to know my background? Be careful not to overdo it and get yourself killed."

Cao Yang snorted coldly. Ye Zhen did not fight back. He knew that the other party was trying to test his background.

"Just come on."

Ye Zhen still maintained a stubborn attitude, with his hands behind his back and even his eyes closed, acting like a senior master, ready to stand and be hit by Cao Yang. It was obvious that he was extremely confident in himself, and it would not be an exaggeration to even say that he was conceited.

But when he opened his eyes again, Cao Yang had disappeared, and the whole world was filled with only a surging river of blood. It seemed as if some unknown horror was brewing beneath the river of blood.

"You think you can deal with me with just these little cats and dogs? Xiao Cao, you think too little of me."

Ye Zhen stood with his hands behind his back, proudly examining those pale hands that stretched out from the surface of the blood river and waved in the air. With his eyes, he could certainly see that there were real evil spirits hidden in these hands, but he was not afraid at all, as these level of little ghosts could not harm him at all.

This was indeed the case. The ghost slave's hand shrank back the moment it touched Ye Zhen. Even if it was a real ghost, it could only barely grab his legs but could not drag him into the water.

Under the blood, a black shadow appeared and disappeared, and was flashing at an extremely fast speed. It was obviously Cao Yang, with a ghost on his back attached to his body to form a ghost coat. At this moment, he held a ghost scissors in one hand and a bronze spear in the other, obviously preparing to dismember Ye Zhen.

Of course Cao Yang knew that this method was useless against Ye Zhen, but since the other party wanted to test him, he should also reveal something appropriate and reciprocate.

The sticky and turbid river of blood blocked Ye Zhen's observation. He could not see the situation under the water clearly, but his instinct as a ghost rider told him: danger is approaching!

A pair of blackened hands suddenly stretched out from under the blood, each holding a weapon, one of which was the bronze spear that had attacked Ye Zhen before!
Ye Zhen's shadow appeared on the water surface. Cao Yang opened his bows left and right, and the sharp ghost scissors instantly cut off Ye Zhen's calf. Ye Zhen stumbled, and the law of losing balance and death was triggered. His face turned ashen in an instant, and the terrifying death was wiping out his vitality.

On the other side, the shadow medium belonging to the bronze spear was also triggered. The seemingly rough bronze spear cut three times on the shadow, directly dividing Ye Zhen's shadow into four sections.

The horrifying dismemberment phenomenon erupted from Ye Zhen's body. He was instantly dismembered into four pieces. Blood splattered everywhere, and the mutilated body parts were about to fall into the river of blood.

But... a strange thing happened. Ye Zhen's four dismembered body sections suddenly stopped in mid-air, and then quickly pieced together. At the same time, his flesh and blood were growing wildly, and his complexion was gradually returning to the rosy and healthy look of a normal person.

In less than half a minute, he returned to his previous handsome and vigorous appearance of a young man. His ability as a scapegoat was truly enviable.

"Xiao Cao, you are really ruthless. If it were an ordinary ghost rider, he would have died from your smooth little combo. But I, Ye, have never been an ordinary ghost rider. I am determined to become the world's number one ghost rider."

Ye Zhen drew out the long sword from his waist, and a cold light flashed on the sharp sword. He pointed the sword to the sky and shouted loudly without shame.

"Go on, masters fighting. I've already let you win three rounds. Now it's time for you to see my strength, Ye Wudi. My sword is not at a disadvantage either!"

Cao Yang did not show up and was still hiding underwater, but Ye Zhen was not a fool and he had his own methods.

The blade of the long sword was instantly covered with a layer of pitch-black color, just like pouring a bottle of ink into clear water, the rich and deep black color instantly dyed the entire blade of the sword.

That was his ghost den. Although it was suppressed by Cao Yang's ghost den, it was not completely unusable. It was just that it could not be used to the same extent as before. If it just covered the sword body, it could still be done.

Ye Zhen looked stern, he picked up the long sword and chopped down at the surging blood river, and for a moment the blood river was actually cut off for a moment. But this was not the end, Ye Zhen continued to chop and pierce, trying to force Cao Yang out in this way.

But higher-level ghost dens have a natural suppressive power over lower-level ghost dens, and this blood river has sunk several real evil spirits. Relying on the existence of evil spirits, the blood river is even more terrifying. Even the long sword blessed by Ye Zhen's ghost den can't have any effect on the blood. "Don't waste your energy, ghost den, you are not as good as me, you have to admit it. If you are a rookie, practice more instead of being incompetent and furious."

At this time, Cao Yang stood up from the water and said with some amusement.

"Oh, that's ridiculous. You said I, Ye, was a wimp. Then I'll show you my true abilities."

Ye Zhen seemed to be really angry. His figure quickly disappeared from the sky like a phantom, and appeared in front of Cao Yang in the blink of an eye. The sword was casually thrown into the blood river by him.

From the beginning to the end, even though the ghost den was suppressed, Ye Zhen still did not fall into the blood river, all thanks to the pair of old-fashioned leather shoes on his feet, which were made of unknown material and had long been peeling and mottled.

"The scapegoat, the flashing leather shoes that can move freely without paying attention to the ghost den, the Black Cloud Ghost Den that is comparable to or even stronger than the fifth level, and the pair of fists that seem to be inhabited by evil spirits, Ye Zhen is indeed very strong."

"But, I am a time traveler. If you have cheats, I have them too."

Intelligence is Cao Yang's biggest cheat. He knows Ye Zhen inside and out, but Ye Zhen knows nothing about him, so from the beginning, this is not a fair duel at all. Cao Yang has already made plans for what can be exposed and what cannot be exposed.

Ye Zhen didn't say anything and punched Cao Yang. His posture was very standard, as if he had practiced boxing.

However, Ye Zhen's fist was suddenly cut off by something, and the remaining wrist hit Cao Yang's chest, leaving two deep dents on his chest in an instant, and he was forced to retreat a few steps.

"It's really terrifying. Even the body made of ghost flesh will be scarred."

Cao Yang muttered to himself, and at the same time, a bronze sword with a simple and elegant shape, like a work of art, was held in his hand.

"What a good sword! Xiao Cao, now I can defeat you justifiably."

Ye Zhen smiled wantonly, his gaze fell on the bronze sword, his eyes filled with heat.

"This is the supernatural weapon that is truly worthy of me, Ye Zhen!"

Obviously, the appearance of the bronze sword made him extremely excited and at the same time aroused his desire to fight.

Taking out the bronze sword at this time was not a helpless act, but Cao Yang did it on purpose. The bronze sword has the supernatural power of death if the sword is drawn, and once the sword is held, the sword must be drawn, otherwise the person holding the sword will die, but Ye Zhen is least afraid of death, and his favorite thing is the sword.

"I will defeat you with your favorite sword."

Cao Yang looked calm, without any emotion in his eyes.

"This is the first time this bronze sword has been unsheathed since I got it."
