Chapter 150: Chapter 150: Battling the Grey Eye Thieves Again
“`
The thick fingers closed together, grabbing a handful of earth from the ground.
A huge head leaned over, sniffing vigorously with its flat nose, its murky eyes oozing with pus fixed on the direction Wang Chen had fled; a greedy light shone from the dark yellow pupils.
“Man, what a delicious scent!”
It burrowed out from the ground, its enormous body shaking off countless clods of dirt.
The height it stood up to actually exceeded fifteen meters!
This giant with clear feminine traits took large strides, each step leaving deep footprints on the ground.
Its outer skin was dark gray, the surface covered in wrinkles like the bark of an old tree.
Upon closer inspection, each wrinkle was a face contorted in agony, issuing a silent wail.
At the edge of the Ruined City, the giant stopped its steps.
It seemed to be wary of something.
But it clearly was not willing to give up just like that, suddenly opening its wide blood-filled mouth.
“Wah~”
A mud-colored liquid spurted violently from the giant’s mouth, gushing out like a waterfall and splattering onto the ground.
Amidst it were dark red blood cocoons.
The impact caused the blood cocoons to burst one after another, and the people hidden inside leaped to their feet.
They wore gray robes, lithe and with vacant expressions, their pairs of gray eyes dull and lifeless.
“Go!”
The giant opened its palm and scattered the previously grabbed earth onto these people in gray, saying in a deep voice, “Bring him back to me, alive!”
No sooner had it spoken than dozens of gray-robed figures shot out like arrows released from a bow.
They moved with incredible speed.
“Cough, cough!”
The giant suddenly choked, coughing up a blood cocoon and holding it in its mouth.
It hesitated for a moment, then started to chew vigorously.
Crunch! Crunch!
Blood mixed with fluid dribbled from the corners of its mouth.
The faces spread across its body twisted even more ferociously!
Darkness once again enveloped the Ruined City.
And at that very moment, Wang Chen was racing across the wilderness beneath the night sky, driven by a sense of crisis.
But he was already very far from the Ruined City.
The sense of danger lingering in his mind was not dissipating.
And it was growing stronger!
As Wang Chen surged up a hill and looked back.
He saw shadows in the distance, pursuing from the direction of the Ruined City!
Evil Wraiths?
A frigid realization dawned on Wang Chen.
He hadn’t expected a multitude of Evil Wraiths to emerge from the Ruined City, relentlessly pursuing him.
His act of killing the Ghost Bridegroom had clearly enraged the BOSS hidden in the Evil Nest.
Just like Granny Tree from the Chaotic Burial Mound.
But the colossal being that had burrowed out from underground, its aura was ten times more frightening than Granny Tree’s.
Undoubtedly belonging to the Resentment Level of Evil Wraiths.
It was probably of the White Resentment, or even Black Resentment tier!
Wang Chen couldn’t afford to provoke such a powerful Evil Wraith, so he had chosen a tactical retreat.
If the Evil Wraith behind him was still in pursuit.
He would have to continue his desperate flight, leading the adversary towards the Inner Mountain Gate of the Cloud Sun sect.
By then, no matter how dreadful the Resentment Level Wraiths were, or even if Fiend Level Wraiths came, they would definitely not gain any advantage!
However, the pursuers now…
Wang Chen suddenly felt less anxious, even a bit excited.
One important reason Wang Chen ventured into the Outer Domain was to accumulate Human Virtue.
Although by slaying the Ghost Bridegroom, he had accrued more than three hundred points of Human Virtue.
It was still far from enough to advance all his key skills to Great Perfection.

The Evils that appeared in Wang Chen’s sight were clearly experience bags that had actively come to deliver their heads!
Of course, Wang Chen did not underestimate his opponents.
There were at least thirty pursuers, and even if they were all White Wanderer Grade Evils, it was still quite dangerous.
If their strength was greater.
Once they managed to surround Wang Chen, it was only a matter of moments before the hunter became the hunted!
With a thought, Wang Chen immediately grabbed a handful of Magical Talismans.
He suddenly spread his arms and threw out more than ten Evil-Repelling Talismans in different directions.
Bursts of Spiritual Light silently exploded around Wang Chen, and the intense and pure essence of Pure Yang Qi quickly blended into the nearby air and soil.
It was not that Wang Chen had too many talismans to burn for fun.
Instead, he wanted to use these Evil-Repelling Talismans to create a combat environment that was advantageous to him.
The Pure Yang Qi released by the Evil-Repelling Talisman could remain for a short time without being neutralized by the power of evil spirits.
Low-level Evils that broke in would certainly be affected!
Unfortunately, Wang Chen did not know how to arrange arrays, otherwise he could have used the Evil-Repelling Talismans to set up a one-time Evil-Repelling Array.
That would have been even more lethal to the Evils!
After throwing out the talismans, Wang Chen immediately formed a spell with his hands and activated the Fire Crow Technique.
With powerful Mana surging, his body emitted a scorching aura, and one after another, fire crows engulfed in flames rapidly took shape before him, spreading their wings that glowed fiercely.
“Kill!”
With a light shout from Wang Chen, he vigorously shook his arms.
The six freshly condensed Fire Crows on his left and right immediately took flight.
Drawing bright lines of fire across the night sky, they swooped down from their high vantage points toward the Evils in pursuit!
Destroying the enemy within the range of a spell attack was the most orthodox method of combat for a Cultivator.
Close combat was actually an alternative or a forced choice!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Fire Crows, condensed by the Grandmaster-level Fire Crow Technique, flew at an extremely fast speed, and in the blink of an eye, they collided fiercely with the Evils rushing at the forefront.
Balls of fire burst out suddenly.
With the help of the light from the explosions, Wang Chen could clearly see the appearance of his pursuers.
Grey Eye Thieves?!
Wang Chen was very familiar with the Grey Eye Thieves.
He had clashed with them when he was at the fourth level of Qi Cultivation and even slain an Evil Cultivator.
Lv Defang later handed him more than a dozen heads of the Grey Eye Thieves, which he exchanged for rewards to enter the Inner Sect.
Moreover, this adventure he set out on also involved a task to hunt down the Grey Eye Thieves.
Wang Chen and the Grey Eye Thieves were truly fated!
But he had never expected these Evil Cultivators to be hidden in the Ruined City, conspiring with other Evils.
“Ah!”
Three Grey Eye Thieves were struck by the Fire Crows, instantly turning into torches and simultaneously letting out hoarse howls.
But of the six Fire Crows launched by Wang Chen, only half hit their targets.
The other three Fire Crows were dodged by the Grey Eye Thieves.
Their reactions were very quick, as they managed to dodge and immediately launched a fierce counterattack!
Pieces of slate-grey Wind Blades tore through the air, whistling from a hundred steps away, swarming towards Wang Chen who stood on the hill.
These Wind Blades were nearly transparent, spinning at an extremely fast speed, and their numbers were vast.
In an instant, they sealed the space around Wang Chen.
Leaving him no way out!
Facing the potent counterattack from his enemies, Wang Chen remained composed, raising his right palm in front of him.
A Spiritual Light Shield suddenly materialized!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Countless Wind Blades slashed at the Spirit Shield, creating ripples but not managing to penetrate this layer of thick and resilient defense.
But more Grey Eye Thieves appeared around Wang Chen!
