Chapter 404: Chapter 370: Passing Through

"That’s good..."

Old Li was not one to dally.

He turned around and went straight to the sofa, lifted the floorboard beneath, and tossed the Peach Wood Sword to Jiang Xiao.

"Brother, I hope you keep your word!"

"Of course~"

Jiang Xiao readily agreed.

As everyone knew, he wasn’t someone who liked to fight.

He wasn’t very smart, but he could tell that neither party was up to any good. It was a case of dog-eat-dog, a spectacle too good to miss.

Jiang Xiao gripped the Peach Wood Sword, his eyes drifting and merciless.

He took on the air of a casual onlooker.

.....

Old Li’s actions were quick and decisive. From a hidden spot, he pulled out a sharpened cleaver that he had honed for six years, all for this very day!

Standing with the knife, Old Li glared fiercely at the curator and the Night Watchman, as if heralding the approaching storm.

"Are you ready?"

Old Li asked in a low voice, his tone brooking no doubt.

The shadowy ghosts in the hall began to stir, seemingly expressing their twisted delight.

Jiang Xiao could distinctly feel the sinister aura behind him growing stronger.

"Hmm, this is interesting. But it still falls short of the oppression on Sunset Mountain~"

Those ghostly shadows, which had been hidden in the darkness, were now slowly revealing themselves, their twisted forms glimmering with a hungry light.

The curator and the Night Watchman’s faces showed signs of tension; they clearly realized the gravity of the situation.

The curator gritted his teeth and took out a dark amulet from his pocket, while the Night Watchman gripped his iron rod tightly, the two standing back to back, as if awaiting their final judgment.

Old Li was the first to attack, swinging his cleaver like an enraged lion rushing towards the Night Watchman.

The Night Watchman swung his iron rod to meet the charge, and the collision of their weapons filled the air with a harsh metallic symphony.

Both had the same thought: take out the stronger opponent first!

"Heh, what can you, a mere cleaner, do against me?"

"A mere cleaner? Heh, you haven’t seen my countless days and nights of hard training!"

They clashed, neither yielding an inch to the other.

Some of the other shadows went straight for the curator.

A flicker of panic crossed the curator’s eyes as he waved his amulet, chanting something in an attempt to use some Secret Technique to fend off the ghosts’ advance.

After all, working in a funeral parlor, his combat strength might not match everyone else’s, but he hadn’t neglected to devise methods to exorcise and ward off evil.

It was then that those bizarre, blood-dripping creatures joined the fray.

They pounced like hungry wolves on the curator and the Night Watchman, carrying with them a fishy scent and the cold breath of death.

The curator and the Night Watchman were embroiled in a tough battle, having to face the onslaught from Old Li, the weird entities, and those nameless shadows on three fronts.

Among them was the little girl Jiang Xiao had seen before.

She gave Jiang Xiao an apologetic glance.

In truth, her nature was not evil, or maybe, she thought Old Li was the real villain.

As for the curator, who had stolen her organs, she bore little resentment.

After all, she was already dead when they took her organs, so she felt no pain.

Because the little girl had witnessed Old Li, this bad person, possess one new employee after another, driving them insane.

That’s why she often came to the window to warn the new employees.

But...

For some reason, the one she loathed most, Old Li, had made some deal with his own kind just yesterday, to kill the not-so-bad curator and the Night Watchman.

Helpless, the little girl had no choice but to assist Old Li~

Fortunately, Old Li had agreed that after killing the curator and the Night Watchman, he would not kill indiscriminately any longer.

...

The fight became increasingly intense, blood splattered everywhere and broken weapon fragments highlighted the brutality of the brawl.

Only Jiang Xiao, the outsider, appeared leisurely and carefree, "Let others be strong; I am content to breeze past the hills~"

By now, Old Li had relied on his extraordinary strength and ferocious fighting skills to put the Night Watchman on the defensive.

This surprised the latter greatly.

Who would have thought that the man who once swept floors with his head covered had become so powerful?

The battle went on for an indeterminate amount of time until finally, the curator and the Night Watchman gradually weakened, their defenses more and more slack.

Old Li and the spectral figures, on the other hand, fought with increasing valor, the dancing shadows steadily draining the pair’s physical strength and resolve.

Their resentment towards the curator and the Night Watchman had been simmering for far too long.

Now unleashed, their strength was even more formidable than usual.

Ultimately, under a fierce onslaught, the curator and the Night Watchman could no longer hold out and fell into pools of blood.

The sinister shadows surrounded them, emitting low chants of victory...

Jiang Xiao still stood aside, smacking his lips, his gaze filled with complex emotions.

"Alas, I thought the curator would be the big BOSS, but you took care of him."

Old Li looked at Jiang Xiao with a complex gaze.

This man was too confident; he didn’t even try to flee amidst the chaos...

However, although Old Li had driven countless funeral home staff to madness, at the end of the day, he was waiting for someone who could help him kill his enemies.

Fundamentally, he was not a man who relished in killing, so he did not lay a hand on Jiang Xiao.

Those will-broken ghosts did try to make a move on Jiang Xiao, a living person, but the little girl stopped them.

After some communication with the little girl, the ghostly figures abandoned their murderous intent towards Jiang Xiao.

"What a pity, I thought you all were going to gang up on me~"

The ghosts: "?"

What’s up with this guy’s tone, it almost sounds like he was looking forward to it?

Meanwhile, dawn began to break.

The girl apologized to Jiang Xiao with a nod and then disappeared into the wilderness along with the main group.

Only Jiang Xiao and Old Li (Bao Lebin) were left at the scene.

Oh, right, and the two corpses on the ground.

Jiang Xiao didn’t have much sympathy for the curator and the Night Watchman.

Had they not engaged in illegal organ trafficking, they would not have spawned so many spectral figures in this vast wilderness.

Nor would they have accidentally killed the Cleaner, Old Li.

So when it came down to it, their deaths could be seen as just desserts.

"It’s just..."

There was still one thing Jiang Xiao hadn’t figured out, where did all these organs ultimately end up?

The Spider-person?

Clearly not. The Spider-person at most could be considered a bodyguard type. With its intelligence, it probably couldn’t even recognize a few words, let alone run such a large underground facility.

"Why isn’t there a completion notification sound yet? I don’t have to kill you to get it, do I?"

Jiang Xiao scrutinized Old Li with suspicion, scaring the latter pale; he didn’t believe he could stand a chance against Jiang Xiao, especially after having expended so much energy.

Just as Jiang Xiao was considering whether to take action, the notification arrived.

"[Ding, Dragon Country’s Chosen One, Jiang Xiao, you’ve perfectly cleared the Kaidan world ’Funeral Home’s Night Watchman’!]"

"[Ding, Dragon Country’s Chosen One, Jiang Xiao becomes the first person to clear a 9+ difficulty level, reward: Additional 10 free attribute points]"

Wuhu?

First taken aback, then overwhelmed with joy, it was time to rake in the rewards!
