This strangely appearing old ghost was none other than Joseph, whom Ye Feng had learned about while exploring the Red Shore ruins at the Tyrannosaurus Rex base!
Ye Feng remembered that this Joseph was the commander of the Red Shore ruins... The Red Shore ruins initially focused on researching enhanced serums. Later, after Joseph took over, he began research on divine stone irradiation... He was also the one using giants for "exercise" in the strange underground gym of the Red Shore ruins...
However, something happened later, and Joseph was pulverized by the "exercise equipment" while working out...
Strangely, the information Ye Feng obtained at the Red Shore ruins indicated that Joseph was fine, having transformed into a form called "Ghost"...
Back at the Tyrannosaurus Rex base, Han Xianxing, seeing Ye Feng's interest in the Red Shore ruins, had collected some information for Ye Feng, which included a photo of Joseph!
"Joseph... Ghost form... Old Ghost? Is this guy in front of me Joseph transformed into a ghost?"
Looking at the old ghost not far away, Ye Feng began to speculate.
"Big brother!~"
At this moment, Xiao Xiao ran to Ye Feng's side, her face filled with worry.
"Big brother, I just sensed that extremely dangerous aura we talked about earlier, and it's moving this way!"
Under Ye Feng's confused gaze, Xiao Xiao spoke softly.
"Dangerous aura?"
Ye Feng frowned slightly. "Xiao Xiao, is it the same aura from Wang Batian's house last night, or when you followed Shen Yun Yao before?"
"Mhm!"
Xiao Xiao nodded seriously, her pretty face filled with vigilance.
"This..."
Ye Feng's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but cast his gaze on the old ghost who had just appeared.
"Hey, Old Ghost, are we just going to leave Shen Potian like this?"
"He might have other trump cards!"
"You saw what just happened. I used two lives, and Sphinx used half of his life, and we still couldn't take him down!"
At this moment, Wang Batian's somewhat hurried voice rang out.
As he spoke, he pointed at Shen Potian on the ground, his face quite tense. A large saber crackling with electricity appeared in his hand, ready to strike down Shen Potian at any moment.
Next to Wang Batian, Sphinx was voraciously devouring a bloody brain, also staring at Shen Potian with wary eyes.
"Don't worry, the Devil's Dagger possesses true divine power!"
"Let alone Shen Potian being only half a step into the Epic realm, even if he were a true Epic realm powerhouse, this is the end for him!"
The old ghost seemed unconcerned about the worries of Wang Batian and Sphinx. "Besides, some things need to be learned from Shen Potian's mouth!"
"You won't get anything out of me!"
Shen Potian's expression changed, as if he had thought of something.
"You will talk... You might be able to withstand torture... But..."
The old ghost's vague black shadow trembled, and he turned his head to look at Shen Yun Yao not far away, a strange smile appearing on his face.
Shen Yun Yao blinked slightly and immediately adopted a defensive stance.
Hearing the old ghost's words, Wang Batian's expression visibly eased, showing a great deal of trust in the old ghost.
"Sizzle sizzle~!"
At this moment, Sphinx finished the remaining bloody brain in a few bites, chewed it roughly, swallowed, and then said, "Leave this to me... I have the most experience..."
As soon as Sphinx finished speaking, Wang Batian chimed in, his tone somewhat impatient. "Shen Potian, I will record what happens to your granddaughter later... Let everyone in Mech City admire the graceful figure of the noble young lady of Mech City... And also what a pathetic loser you, the old city lord, are..."
Wang Batian's words were filled with cruelty, triumph, and a hint of frenzied pleasure.
"Shen Potian, watch closely as I play with your granddaughter!"
As he spoke, Wang Batian and Sphinx both turned to look at Shen Potian. Shen Potian, whose face had turned extremely grim, actually looked towards Ye Feng.
"What the hell, why are you looking at me?"
Ye Feng was speechless, and his heart sank to the bottom.
Although the previous battle had been fierce, and Shen Potian had been injured multiple times, his responses seemed to be within the opponents' expectations.
Even Wang Batian's nuke-level self-destruction had only surprised Shen Potian, not panicked him...
However, after being struck by the old ghost's Devil's Dagger, Shen Potian's eyes showed clear panic...
"Huh?!"
Seeing Shen Potian's reaction, Wang Batian and Sphinx both frowned. They had expected to see pleading and fear in Shen Potian's eyes, but...
"Hey, Shen Potian, you got stabbed in the heart, did your brain also get damaged?"
"At this point, you're counting on that Silver-level kid?"
Seeing this, Wang Batian immediately taunted him. Throughout the entire battle, he had never truly regarded Ye Feng with respect.
Shen Potian, lying on the ground, grimaced and did not reply.
Inevitably, Wang Batian, Sphinx, and even the old ghost all turned their gaze to Ye Feng.
"We know each other?"
To everyone's surprise, the old ghost looked at Ye Feng, narrowed his eyes, and uttered a sentence that made everyone a bit dumbfounded.
"Uh..."
Ye Feng was slightly startled, then quickly waved his hand. "Don't know, don't know!"
"Uh... well... I'm just passing by, a bystander... You guys are busy, I'll be going now..."
With that, Ye Feng turned around and left decisively, with Xiao Xiao following closely behind.
"Kill him!"
The old ghost's cold voice immediately rang out.
"Since you're pinning your hopes on that kid, I'll see how I personally extinguish it!"
Wang Batian looked down at Shen Potian on the ground, then slammed the ground and rushed towards Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao at high speed.
In just a few breaths, Wang Batian, wielding his golden great saber, was less than a meter away from Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao.
"Careful behind you!"
Seeing this, Shen Yun Yao shouted towards Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao, her face filled with worry, and a hint of despair.
At this moment, Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao had just run behind a large rock.
"Boom!~"
A dull thud came from behind the large rock, and a figure was violently flung out from behind it, making Shen Yun Yao's heart nearly stop.
"Pfft!~"
The figure flying out from behind the rock coughed up a mouthful of blood in mid-air and slowly fell.
"Huh?"
Shen Yun Yao was about to rush forward to catch them, but she suddenly stopped. The falling figure was very tall, and the attire was not Ye Feng's. Instead, it looked like... Wang Batian?
"Whoosh!~"
At this moment, a white light suddenly shot out from behind the large rock where Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao had run, instantly arriving at the position where Wang Batian was about to fall and collided with him.
"Bang!~!"
Another dull impact sound, Wang Batian spat out another mouthful of blood, flying straight backward, smashing through several rocks, and embedding deeply into the ruins.
