After killing the two muscular men, the originally silent hall quickly filled with screams from women and the sound of men running towards the elevator door.

However, Zhou Chen did not care. He turned his gaze to the two remaining muscular men.

The two of them were originally eating casually at the dining table, preparing to enjoy their two brothers’ performance. Unexpectedly, the monstrous Zhou Chen suddenly appeared and killed their brother very quickly, shocking them to the core.

They were staring at Zhou Chen, not even realizing that the chicken leg in their mouths had fallen to the ground along with the coffee cup in their hands.

“Ghost! You are a ghost!” A muscular, tattooed man shouted as he ran to the elevator.

However, Zhou Chen punched him from afar, instantly turning him into a mist of blood.

When the last remaining muscular man saw his partner die so strangely, he immediately stopped running towards the elevator. He turned and ran towards the door of the apartment, which was outside.

In this life and death situation, his speed was very fast. In a few breaths, he ran to the door of the apartment and left.

However, the reason why he was able to escape was not because Zhou Chen could not catch up to him, but because Zhou Chen suddenly had an idea. He wanted to use the man to test the apartment.

‘It’s said that it’s very dangerous to leave this apartment. Now is a good time to see it with my own eyes.’

Zhou Chen quickly walked out of the apartment hall, which was basically empty after his killing spree.

Outside the apartment, he stared at the fleeing figure of the tattooed man and followed him.

The tattooed man could not help but look back a few times while escaping. When he realized that Zhou Chen was following him, he immediately continued to run as if he had been electrocuted; it was the fastest he had run in all his life.

‘It does not seem to be dangerous outside. He has already run for a few hundred meters, but he hasn’t encountered any ghosts.’

Zhou Chen, who was following the burly man at a moderate pace, complained inwardly. From the situation he saw and sensed, the surrounding area was only an empty city. There did not seem to be any ghosts or evil entities wandering around. He did not know when the burly man would encounter the attacks of the monsters.

However, the change of events was always sudden. Before Zhou Chen could finish complaining, he suddenly saw a red figure appear beside the burly man who had run to an intersection and was about to turn a corner.

“It’s her!” The moment this red figure appeared, Zhou Chen knew that it was the red-dressed female ghost that had beaten him several times.

Immediately after the female ghost appeared beside the muscular man, the muscular man collapsed to the ground.

“It doesn’t seem to have attacked him, just the aura it emits is enough to turn him unconscious?” Zhou Chen couldn’t help but ponder when he saw this.

However, he did not have the time to think about the details, because the female ghost more than a hundred meters away was staring at him, without even glancing at the muscular man who had collapsed on the ground.

“Hehe, I thought you had fled. This is good.”

Faced with the red female ghost’s terrifying gaze, fighting spirit immediately rose in Zhou Chen’s heart. He immediately stamped on the ground with his right foot and shot over, leaving only a deep footprint on the spot.

At the same time, the female ghost who was staring at Zhou Chen also shot towards Zhou Chen like a red shadow while extending her long pale claws.

The man and the ghost neared each other in the blink of an eye. The female ghost extended her claws towards Zhou Chen’s neck, while Zhou Chen sent a punch at her.

If it were in the past, Zhou Chen’s attack would have been a waste of effort because pure physical attacks had no meaning against the female ghost. Moreover, due to the low level, passive skills like Freeze did not seem to have any obvious effect. This caused Zhou Chen’s attacks to pass through her and be beaten one-sidedly.

However, it was different this time. Zhou Chen had already obtained the Silver rank Touch of Evil passive skill. This passive skill could cause high spiritual damage as long as he came into contact with the target. It could be said to be very suitable to deal with evil spirits like this female ghost.

Therefore, the result of this exchange was different from before. Although Zhou Chen’s fist still showed signs of passing through the female ghost’s body, the female ghost could no longer ignore his attack. After being hit by him, she quickly jumped back like a cat that was scalded by fire.

“So you know how to retreat too. Your intelligence seems to have increased.”

Zhou Chen mocked when he saw this. He used Windrun and charged at the female ghost again to attack.

The female ghost seemed to understand Zhou Chen’s mockery. Its two terrifying blood-red eyes stared at Zhou Chen, emitting an even stronger malice.

It suddenly shot towards Zhou Chen and began to engage in close combat.

Zhou Chen was not afraid at all. He ruthlessly punched at the female ghost’s claws that were reaching for him. However, this time, the female ghost’s speed increased suddenly. She dodged Zhou Chen’s fist and grabbed at his neck.

Zhou Chen immediately changed his stance from attack to defense, and five thin blood marks appeared on his arm.

After the female ghost grabbed Zhou Chen, faint white smoke rose from her claws. She also seemed to be injured and dodged again.

“Its attack power increased by so much?”

Looking at the thin and long wounds on his arm, although they were only light injuries, Zhou Chen was very surprised.

He was very clear about the toughness of his body. The last time he had suffered similar injuries was when he had been hit by a tank shell.

A day ago, when he was fighting this female ghost, the female ghost could only leave some green marks that quickly disappeared. It could not really break through his defense. Now that she was able to inflict injuries on him, he guessed that its strength had increased greatly after eating the overcoat man.

“Very good. I’m looking forward to what I can gain by killing you.”

Zhou Chen felt layers of berserking buff his body, and his strength and speed increased by a level. He was filled with confidence in being able to defeat this opponent.

The Berserk passive skill had been triggered by the previous injuries. It had now stacked twice.

Zhou Chen stepped on the ground again. His figure flashed and attacked the female ghost at an even faster speed.

However, the female ghost seemed to be in a berserk state as well. It suddenly increased its speed to dodge Zhou Chen’s attack, and instantly moved behind Zhou Chen’s back, using its long claws to strike the back of his head.

The hair on the back of Zhou Chen’s head immediately suffered. Five gashes appeared, and blood flowed out of them.

“Very good! Again!”

Zhou Chen, who had his scalp broken, was not angry. Instead, he was delighted. He felt his Berserk passive skill had stacked by another layer. Moreover, the female ghost had definitely triggered the Touch of Evil passive skill when it hit him and was injured.

Although it was very aggrieving for him to rely on being beaten to injure his opponent, there was not much he could do. It was not that he could not hit this female ghost, as long as he released the Eight Desolates True Energy rampantly, he could hit her. Unfortunately, his current level of Eight Desolates True Energy was not high enough, and he had not fused it with his martial intent, so he was unable to injure this evil spirit that was immune to physical attacks.

Fortunately, although this evil spirit’s intelligence seemed to have increased a little, it did not really become smarter. After being angered by him, it still continued to persist on exchanging injuries with him, causing layer after layer of berserking to stack. Zhou Chen’s strength, speed, and recovery speed were all increasing again and again. As long as he waited for a while, he would be able to follow the ghost’s speed through the stacked berserking. At that time, this female spirit would not be able to escape even if she wanted to.

“Ugly monster! Do you only have this much strength? Such insignificant damage? Put more strength into it!”

Under Zhou Chen’s mocking words, the female ghost continued to fight with him.

The female ghost was unbelievably fast, and her attack power was very high as well, causing deep wounds on Zhou Chen’s body .

Zhou Chen also tried his best to attack it during this process, but he only hit it a few times and only injured it with the help of the Touch of Evil.

However, his Berserk passive was not just for show. After being hit eight times by the female ghost, his Berserk skill was completely stacked. His strength and speed had increased by 240%, and his recovery speed had almost reached the effect of instant healing.

At this moment, obvious red flames were rising around his body. This made him look like another evil entity dressed in red. He could already catch up to the extremely fast female ghost. He kept fighting it head-on, and was no longer suppressed by its speed.

The female ghost’s attack was useless against him now. His defense could still be broken by the other party, but the wound would heal the next moment. It was equivalent to the female ghost wasting her energy.

This strange situation immediately made the female ghost realize that something was wrong. It was not an ordinary ghost after all. It had some intelligence. After realizing that the person it had been beating one sidedly earlier was becoming faster and faster, and the wounds it had inflicted were instantly healed, it prepared to retreat.

After all, it had been triggering Zhou Chen’s Touch of Evil passive skill all this time, and the injuries on it were constantly adding up. If this continued, it would definitely lose.

Zhou Chen acutely noticed the change in the female ghost’s behavior. When the female ghost increased her speed and floated into the distance, he directly took out a black whip from his inventory. It was the bizarre whip he had obtained yesterday.

“Bind!”

As soon as the bizarre whip appeared, Zhou Chen used its binding ability.

Instantly, the female ghost not far from Zhou Chen was tied up tightly by the whip. Her illusory body could no longer move easily, and she could only begin to struggle to resist the whip’s restraint.

However, Zhou Chen would not wait for it to break free. He, who was still in the berserk state, instantly approached the restrained female ghost. He then stabbed his hands into the female ghost’s illusory body.

This scene was a little strange. If there was someone else observing this, they would think Zhou Chen had some incomprehensible fetish that he actually started to molest such a terrifying monster.

However, only Zhou Chen knew that he was doing this to maximize the damage of the Touch of Evil passive skill on the female ghost. As long as this passive skill came into contact with the target, it could be continuously triggered. Therefore, there was no need for him to keep smashing his fists at this female ghost. The other party was immune to physical attacks, so it was meaningless no matter how hard he punched her. Only by relying on this passive skill could he injure her.

Therefore, with both of Zhou Chen’s hands inside her, faint white smoke began to emerge from the female ghost’s body. Its terrifying face became even more ferocious, as if it was enduring an extremely great pain.

It let out a terrifying screech, causing Zhou Chen’s ears to hurt.

Its struggles became even more intense. The whip binding its body was starting to loosen up.

“Heavens, it really can take a beating.”

Seeing this, Zhou Chen realized that he might not be able to kill it just like this. Once this female ghost broke free of the whip, it would take a long time for him to activate the whip’s bind ability again. He would not be able to continue hurting this female ghost like this.

Just as this thought flashed through his mind, the female ghost suddenly broke free of the binding and charged to the ground, half of her body immediately sinking into the concrete.

“Trying to escape through the ground? Dream on!”

Zhou Chen immediately punched it, making the ground it had just sunk into explode with the Eight Desolates True Energy, revealing its scarlet figure and injuring it as his hands touched it.

Seeing that passing through the ground did not work, the female ghost floated desperately to a building not far away.

“Could it be trying to escape through the mirrors? I have to stop it!”

Zhou Chen began to circulate his Eight Desolates True Energy. He immediately blew up the building in front of him with a punch, reducing it to dust. Naturally, mirrors could not survive as well.

After this interference, he realized that his strategy was effective. The female ghost did not disappear after floating there, and he followed to deal some more damage.

Zhou Chen continued to chase after the female ghost, stopping its escape. It was clearly in a weakened state and was unable to escape from his poisonous hands. It was constantly injured by him and finally turned to dust after being entangled by him for a while.
