Upon hearing Wang Zhifan reveal such terrifying information, that the mountain beneath them was actually a gigantic monster, the young man in a school uniform, the middle-aged gunman, and the three apartment residents showed expressions of shock, all looking at each other in disbelief.
"Think about it, a resident suddenly fell into the mountain path before, isn’t that strange? That’s because this whole mountain is a ghost! And that feeling of being constantly watched without knowing the source, it’s because we’re actually on this giant ghost, watched by it every moment! These all reveal the truth that this mountain is a ghost! Hurry up and evacuate, or it will be too late!"
Wang Zhifan then provided some evidence to let the people in front of him know that he wasn’t just making things up.
"But... even if what you say is true... we can’t return to the apartment without completing the blood letter mission, right? Where can we evacuate to? Just wait to die in this ghostly place?"
The young man in the school uniform immediately frowned as he spoke this critical question. The information he’d gathered long indicated that apartment residents couldn’t return to Apartment 444 without completing the blood letter mission, and if they couldn’t return to the safety of the apartment, it was like a death sentence. This world was too dangerous, and no resident had the ability to survive outside for long.
"The problem you’ve mentioned does exist, but there must be a solution to this! Also, if you don’t leave now, there’s immediate risk of death! And by evacuating, at least there’s hope to survive! I’ve said all I can!"
After a brief exchange with his teammates, Wang Zhifan quickly left the icy mountain path. He no longer had time to persuade them, as he now needed to tackle the bigger problem in front of him.
His figure could be seen rapidly leaping across the fully frozen Wangfeng Mountain, and in less than half a minute, he reached the top of the mountain turned ice peak. He then wielded the Thunder Dragon Fury, slicing at the mountain’s summit over and over. Every slash created cracks in the mountain and triggered a burst of thunder.
As the BGM from the magical sound system in his pocket neared its end, he also sensed that Wangfeng Mountain, which he had forcefully suppressed with his ice power, was increasingly showing signs of breaking free from control. But he did not panic and continued to fiercely hack at the top of this ice peak.
"My perception tells me that the weakness of Wangfeng Mountain is deep underneath here. Even if it’s an immortal existence, I must show it some consequences! Make it pay for disrupting my mission!"
Wang Zhifan’s current attack on the mountain top was not a whim; his superior perception revealed that this was the best focal point for attacking Wangfeng Mountain—key to his retribution against this entity severely hindering the completion of his mission.
As for why he chose to continue fighting rather than seize the opportunity to escape, it was because he confirmed that this huge malevolent power wasn’t much stronger than him and perhaps even fell short in his burst state. So, giving it a one-time lesson was a better choice to avoid further interference during his future blood letter tasks.
Thus, with each immensely powerful strike from Wang Zhifan, the forcibly frozen Wangfeng Mountain gradually shattered from the summit. This huge menace finally couldn’t bear it, unleashing all its strength to resist the top person’s ice sealing power, ultimately breaking free from the suppressive cold force.
It then desperately attacked Wang Zhifan standing atop it, simultaneously summoning various ghosts in the surrounding area to help counter this formidable foe, attempting to annihilate Wang Zhifan on the spot.
But the reason Wang Zhifan dared to stay and fight was that he had confidence in his victory and had methods to retreat safely.
Seeing the entire Wangfeng Mountain violently transform into a towering giant, aiming a mountain-sized huge hand down at him, he instantly dashed to the giant’s wrist with multiple flashes, then exerted full force to slash it off with the Thunder Dragon Fury. When numerous ghosts attempted to besiege him, he employed his ice power to completely suppress these minor entities, not giving them any chance to interfere with him.
However, the great malevolent power of Wangfeng Mountain was indeed formidable. Even with Wang Zhifan’s full power, slicing it into numerous fragments achieved only a temporary victory. The malevolent’s immortal characteristic quickly restored it to wholeness, truly an unkillable adversary.
"See, human! We malevolent entities cannot be annihilated! No matter how strong you get, your demise is inevitable! You will perish slowly with regret!"
Though defeated once by Wang Zhifan and swiftly regenerated, the gigantic malevolent Wangfeng Mountain began to mockingly ridicule Wang Zhifan, who was still fighting. It realized it couldn’t easily overcome the adversary for the time being and was instead harshly beaten. However, it knew time was on its side; as long as the fight continued, Wang Zhifan would inevitably lose, as he wasn’t perpetual motion. The longer the combat, the more depleted he would become, reaching exhaustion.
Yet, contrary to what the giant malevolent expected, Wang Zhifan wasn’t flustered after it exposed this cruel truth; instead, he immediately gave a strong verbal counter.
"Ghostly thing! Did you actually think my goal was to kill you? You’re wrong! I just want to weaken you again and again! Then deliver you to the existence you truly fear!"
With these words, Wang Zhifan restarted his magical sound system, granting himself a superb buff, and then reused Lightning Flash, launching a second violent dismemberment of the Wangfeng Mountain that had been harshly suppressed!
After this attack, relying on his strong perception, he noticed its aura weakening again, just like the first time he defeated it. The weakening was slight but real, which was the true reason he persisted in the fight!
"Despicable human! What are you planning exactly?!"
The twice-regenerated Wangfeng Mountain immediately panicked upon seeing this. Indeed, it wasn’t worried Wang Zhifan would destroy it, but there existed some entities that posed a true threat, which was the fundamental reason it sought cooperation with certain humans.
Under such fear, the battle between Wangfeng Mountain and Wang Zhifan grew more intense. However, with Wang Zhifan’s miraculous audio system empowerment, it couldn’t suppress him. Soon, he defeated it a third time, rendering it even weaker. As it relied once again on its unkillable trait to regenerate, it discovered that the human, who had vowed to fight it till the end just moments earlier, had inexplicably vanished without a trace.
