Since it had already come to this, there was no need to hold back.

Deputy Director Liu smiled, still appearing unmoved. On the contrary, he said, "Let me tell you something. Everyone who has seen my true appearance is already dead."

His implication was clear: if Yuan Munye wanted to see his true form, he would certainly die.

However, Yuan Munye didn't take these words to heart at all.

It would be difficult for this guy to kill him.

Moreover, Yuan Munye had already planned that if he couldn't win, he would just run.

Once the Lingbo Weibu (Microstep Gait) was activated, how could they catch up?

Impossible.

So Yuan Munye would ensure that he was in an invincible position and would never allow himself to fall.

He had already thought all of this through.

"Enough nonsense."

Yuan Munye was too lazy to waste words with this guy.

He decisively attacked, his figure flashing, and a huge Bagua (Eight Trigrams) diagram formed around him. The Bagua diagram pressed down, instantly changing the other's expression.

The Bagua diagram also illuminated the night.

Xu Tao was stunned by this scene, finding it hard to believe.

The Bagua diagram was at least ten meters in diameter, a truly breathtaking sight.

Deputy Director Liu narrowed his eyes, and a cold smile appeared on his lips. He slowly said, "Child's play, all show and no substance."

Immediately, he burst into action, soaring into the air. The Bagua diagram, which had seemed so powerful, was instantly torn to pieces.

Xu Tao gasped.

It seemed that the two combatants were evenly matched today.

Neither was superior.

Yuan Munye wasn't flustered. Just because the Bagua diagram was shattered didn't mean it would affect him.

On the contrary, he remained remarkably calm.

He attacked, rushing forward.

The ground began to freeze, and the speed of the freezing was visible to the naked eye.

This spectacle quickly forced Deputy Director Liu to retreat.

But he soon realized that his retreat speed couldn't match the speed of the ice.

He narrowed his eyes. It seemed he had underestimated Yuan Munye.

Before he could fully react, his body was completely frozen.

He couldn't move at all.

Xu Tao's expression changed slightly, and he muttered, "Did he win?"

He still couldn't understand the situation, nor could he figure out why the two of them were fighting, or how it had turned out like this.

Yuan Munye, seeing that he had frozen Deputy Director Liu, still remained cautious. He didn't sense that the other's aura had weakened.

On the contrary, the feeling he got was that the other's aura was still strong. Therefore, Yuan Munye determined that his attack hadn't caused any irreversible damage to the guy.

However, it was basically impossible for this guy to break free from his restraints.

He began to walk forward, wanting to see if he could kill him.

He walked step by step, not too quickly, and in about a minute, he was in front of him.

Through the ice, Yuan Munye could still clearly see the guy's face.

"What are you waiting for?"

Yuan Munye had already taken out a sword, the Daya Sword.

Yuan Munye had left the Daya Sword with Liang Senyu originally to protect him.

Now that Liang Senyu had entered the Jade Stone World, Yuan Munye felt he was safe, so he had taken the Daya Sword back.

"Deputy Director Liu, the opportunity is rare. If you don't show your true strength, this will be your last chance to live."

With that, Yuan Munye prepared to strike with the Daya Sword.

But the next second, cracks suddenly appeared in the ice, and the cracks continued to spread.

A powerful Yin (ghostly) energy emanated out.

This powerful Yin energy was much stronger than the previous Yin energy. Overall, it was shocking.

Yuan Munye took a few steps back.

The hand holding the Daya Sword didn't move. He waited for about ten seconds.

The ice shattered completely.

Of course, the ice that Yuan Munye had released wasn't at its strongest state.

It was just the twentieth level of the Frigid Palm.

After the ice shattered, Deputy Director Liu's body collapsed to the ground as if he had lost all signs of life.

The next second, a very strong aura formed in another place and coalesced into a figure.

This figure looked no different from a normal person.

Everything was normal.

The man and the evil ghost exchanged a glance.

Yuan Munye found that he couldn't see through this guy's strength. No matter what, this guy's strength should be stronger than his.

Thinking of this, Yuan Munye's expression changed.

But he remained calm and didn't show any weakness in front of this guy.

Xu Tao was already dumbfounded. Could it be that the Deputy Director Liu he usually saw wasn't "Deputy Director Liu" but a transformed evil ghost?

Thinking of this, his heart churned, and he found the matter completely unbelievable.

It seemed that he had only seen the surface of many things and couldn't see the essence at all.

He suddenly felt a chill run down his back, and that chill quickly engulfed him.

His expression changed slightly, and after waiting for a while, he saw the two of them quickly exchange blows.

The speed was so fast that he could only see a shadow when they fought.

After a brief exchange, the two quickly separated.

Everything gradually returned to normal.

But many ravines appeared on the ground.

Yuan Munye stood still.

But his palms were already sweating. It was clear that Yuan Munye was a little nervous.

At the same time, he was also shocked that this guy's strength was far stronger than he had imagined.

He had even surpassed a level eight evil ghost and was now a level nine evil ghost.

Yuan Munye had encountered level nine evil ghosts before. After breaking through level nine, they would enter the Earth Grade level one evil ghost.

At that time, their strength would be unimaginable.

Yuan Munye asked, "Ghost Advisor, what are my chances of winning against him?"

The long-silent Ghost Advisor, suddenly hearing Yuan Munye's call, woke up from his slumber. After waiting for a while, he slowly said, "Replying to your Excellency, with your current strength, you should not be at a disadvantage in a fight against him."

"Should?"

Yuan Munye asked.

"Yes, that's right, but this lowly one has not seen him fight, so I cannot completely judge. To make a complete judgment, we must wait and see."

"Okay."

Yuan Munye didn't say much.

He just responded lightly.

If the Ghost Advisor was there to guide and bless him, his chances of winning would be greater.
