Chapter 57: Night Rain Murderer
The Ghoul slowly took a step back.
It had finally regained consciousness, how could it be willing to confront this madman head-on.
And it was also very clear that its goal was only Qin Liu.
As long as it could possess her physical body and devour her soul, it could possess a corpse and return to life.
There was no need to waste time with this man here.
And the more important point was…
Even if this man’s strength was similar to its own, it didn’t want to take the risk.
As someone who had died once, it naturally didn’t want to die again.
So the Ghoul faced Liu Haoyu and retreated again.
However, in a battle, once one side shows retreat and fear, the scales of victory begin to tilt.
Liu Haoyu weighed the skull-crushing hammer in his hand, and the dark red blood clots on it also peeled off, the hammerhead flashing with a dull metallic luster under the moonlight.
He slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
This breath was expelled from the respirator valve of the gas mask with a strange “hissing” sound.
“Do you know?”
Liu Haoyu walked forward slowly, holding his killer weapon, his eyes filled with killing intent.
“For things like you, physics is always more useful than reason.”
The man’s eyes were filled with fighting spirit, and his fearless steps made the Ghoul instinctively retreat.
It wanted to escape, but it found that, from some unknown time, what was behind it had become pitch black and exuded an unspeakable grudge.
Ghostly wall…？
No, this man had sealed off this area.
He didn’t want to escape, he wanted to kill it?!
The Ghoul realized this and couldn’t believe it.
The roles of hunter and prey were swapped in just an instant.
The other party had broken free from the Flesh Puppet and the Military Police, yet had never increased the distance, all for it to fall into the trap!
Looking at the relentlessly advancing Liu Haoyu, the Ghoul continued to retreat step by step.
It let out a weak roar and growl.
Trying to threaten Liu Haoyu and stop him from getting closer.
But the latter simply didn’t take it seriously.
The man said with a cruel smile.
“Afraid now? It’s too late.”
Before he finished speaking, the Fierce Ghost instantly felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
It fiercely swung its claws, trying to get the first strike and take down Liu Haoyu in one go.
But its attack intention had long been seen through by Liu Haoyu.
Without Qin Liu by his side, it meant he didn’t have to worry about anything.
The Ghoul’s attack missed completely. When it reacted, Liu Haoyu had already flashed to its side, and the skull-crushing hammer whistled through the air and smashed down fiercely.
At such close range, the Ghoul only needed to reach out and retaliate once, perhaps it could leave a scar on Liu Haoyu.
But the problem was…
It was afraid.
Driven by a survival instinct, it subconsciously dodged slightly to the left.
However, even so, the skull-crushing hammer still smashed fiercely into its knee joint.
The barrier that could withstand the Zhenlei Talisman appeared so fragile against physical attacks. The barrier shattered upon impact.
“Crack!”
The sound of bone shattering was exceptionally crisp in the silent forest.
The Ghoul stumbled and knelt on the ground. Before it could even let out a painful moan, the second hammer whistled towards it.
Seeing this fierce offensive, the Ghoul knew it was in trouble and tried to dodge again.
“Bang!”
But because of the pain, its reaction was still a step slower.
This hammer landed squarely on its shoulder, causing its shoulder to concave directly, and its entire arm became dislocated.
However, with this powerful impact, the Ghoul managed to escape Liu Haoyu’s continuous onslaught.
Dark red liquid and碎肉 splashed onto Liu Haoyu’s trench coat, but the man didn’t even frown.
“As expected, this feeling is the most comfortable,” he said, shaking off the blood and flesh stuck to the hammer, his tone as relaxed as if he were talking about the weather: “I don’t know why, my good brothers all advised me not to use this thing, but isn’t this thing more satisfying than talismans?”
The Ghoul staggered and stood firm. With its shoulder dislocated, bone spurs directly pierced through its flesh and blood, and viscous dark red liquid continuously dripped from the wound.
It looked at Liu Haoyu, its hollow eyes filled with anger.
Even a rabbit would bite when cornered, let alone a Ghoul.
It suddenly pulled out a talisman from its pocket, stuffed it into its mouth, and then opened its bloody mouth wide.
Immediately, a pool of foul-tasting poisonous blood sprayed out from its mouth.
Liu Haoyu naturally wouldn’t take the attack head-on, so he dodged.
But the Ghoul’s next spray followed closely.
The distance between them was also a bit far. In the current situation, it was extremely difficult for Liu Haoyu to approach the other party.
But this did not mean he had no method.
The man suddenly swung.
“Pfft!”
The skull-crushing hammer broke through the air, accurately smashing into the Ghoul’s mouth.
The powerful impact it carried also caused the Ghoul to perform a backflip.
The Ghoul fell to the ground, trying to pull the skull-crushing hammer out of its mouth, but the hook of the skull-crushing hammer was firmly stuck to its jawbone.
At this moment, Liu Haoyu had already rushed over, stepped on its chest, grabbed the handle of the hammer, and his voice was filled with a cruel smile.
“Puking is not a good habit.”
Accompanied by laughter, Liu Haoyu grabbed the hammer handle and pulled it back fiercely.
“Screech!”
What followed was a spine-chilling tearing sound, the Ghoul’s entire jaw was forcibly torn off.
The poisonous blood that hadn’t had time to be sprayed out now splashed everywhere. Liu Haoyu jumped back, dodging the poisonous blood.
“Sizzle sizzle…”
The poisonous blood corroded the surrounding tree trunks into honeycomb-like holes, while the Ghoul knelt on the ground, its body convulsing violently from the pain.
A dense poisonous fog rose around it.
Liu Haoyu frowned slightly, tightened the gas mask on his face, then put on the hood of his trench coat, and after affixing it with a talisman, he slowly walked into the poisonous fog.
The hammerhead dragged on the ground, making rustling sounds as it rubbed against dry branches and fallen leaves.
Finally, Liu Haoyu reached the Ghoul. Seeing the Ghoul still struggling on the ground, he stomped on its head and raised the skull-crushing hammer high.
“Do you know why my good brothers don’t let me use this thing?”
The Ghoul’s eyes were filled with terror. It couldn’t understand.
Although its paper strength was similar to the opponent’s, why did it lose so decisively and cleanly?
It tried to beg, but Liu Haoyu didn’t give it a chance to speak and continued:
“Because they always say I look like a night rain murderer when I’m dealing with ghost affairs.”
“Alas… Heaven and earth know, I’m truly being wronged.”
“Dealing with ghosts, how can that be called being a murderer?”
