Bang!

With a dull sound, the shadow was kicked away by Yang Yan.

"How could it be? I'm intangible, how can you still hit me? It hurts!"

The shadow roared.

"Seems like you're nothing but evil and brutal! Not having a physical form means I can't attack you? What logic is that?"

Yang Yan looked at the shadow and sneered.

He was speaking, but his hands did not slow down at all.

In a flash, he was in front of the shadow again, unleashing a storm-like attack.

The shadow seemed stunned by the blows, unable to counter, only passively taking hits.

"Haha! So that's how it is, that's how it is."

The attack lasted for at least twenty seconds when the shadow suddenly started laughing, muttering to itself.

Hearing this, Yang Yan sneered, and his movements grew even faster.

"Even if you keep attacking me, it's useless, it can't hurt me! Hahaha..."

The shadow laughed wildly.

"Is that so? Ignorance is ignorance! You'll see what happens soon enough. I thought I'd have to put more effort into dealing with you, but you're just a fool."

Yang Yan's smile grew brighter.

He initially thought this guy was an Evil Thought Body derived from someone, and would require some effort to deal with.

But Yang Yan didn't expect that this guy would be like a fool, only getting hit passively.

And from the tone, it seemed even those Corpse Skin People were taught to him by others.

This made Yang Yan wonder how exactly this guy came into being.

"Your attacks are useless."

The shadow seemed very confident, still yelling wildly.

"Is that so?"

Yang Yan suddenly stopped the attack, smiling as he looked at the shadow.

As the shadow tried to say something more, cracks started appearing on its body.

Moreover, the cracks began to spread outwards across its body.

"How... how is this possible? Your attacks were useless on me! How could this happen..."

Yang Yan coldly looked at the shadow and said lightly:

"You're probably not naturally born, right? I guess someone must have cultivated you?"

Yang Yan looked at the figure and spoke lightly.

"How could this be? This shouldn't happen! I am the ruler of all under heaven, why am I dying at the hands of someone like you?"

The shadow, until the moment of its destruction, still found it incredible that Yang Yan could harm it.

"With that intelligence, nothing more to say. Let me see for myself then!"

Yang Yan finished speaking, reaching out his right hand to press onto the shadow's head, and scenes began to appear in the Void.

The first scene Yang Yan extracted was of a person clad in a black robe.

Because the robe shrouded the entire body, it was unclear whether it was male or female.

The person in the black robe stood in front of the Evil Thought Body, speaking continually.

While simultaneously striking the Evil Thought Body with a purple-gold talisman.

Once the Evil Thought Body sat up, the robed figure spoke:

"I offer you immortality in exchange for your remaining Imperial Qi and national fortunes, do you agree?"

The voice of the robed figure seemed disguised, making it impossible to discern whether they were male or female.

Hearing the promise of immortality, the ambitious creature naturally agreed without hesitation.

After receiving confirmation, the robed figure immediately produced something resembling a Jade Seal and extracted a stream of yellow energy from the corpse behind it.

That should be the Imperial Qi and national fortune the robed figure spoke of.

After completing all of this, the robed figure embedded a white talisman into the Evil Thought Body, then said:

"Follow the instructions recorded here, and you will achieve immortality. This thing is beyond the Three Realms and outside the Five Elements, even Great Powers find it hard to tame. In time, you will be able to attach to it successfully."

After speaking, the robed figure left.

The Evil Thought Body's memory only reached this point, followed by a blank.

Yang Yan guessed this was because it fell into a long sleep again.

Until it awoke half a year ago, and began killing and skinning people as instructed by the talisman.

"After all that, so that's how it is! This guy is really meticulous, leaving nothing to chance!"

Yang Yan sighed, then turned and walked downstairs.

Right after he left, the Evil Thought Body began to collapse, first fracturing into pieces, then turning into swirling black smoke.

Not long after, it completely dissipated into the heavens and earth, as if it had never existed.

Downstairs, at the entrance of Sunshine Garden, the ground was covered with bullet holes.

And the soldiers and police were all weakly slumped on the ground.

As Yang Yan approached them, someone immediately reacted, pointing the muzzle of a gun at him, seemingly ready to shoot.

"Don't panic! It's me!"

Yang Yan said urgently.

It seemed these soldiers were highly tense, shooting had become a reflex.

"Hold fire! It's Yang Yan!"

Xia Bing was the first to react, shouting hurriedly as well.

Upon seeing Yang Yan, the others relaxed their tense nerves.

Instantly, several who had struggled to stay standing finally couldn't support themselves and collapsed to the ground.

"Are you alright? Is everything upstairs taken care of?"

Xia Bing asked, concerned, as she looked at Yang Yan.

"Do I look like I'm hurt?"

Yang Yan smiled as he replied.

"Matters have been resolved, much easier than expected. What's going on here? Even if those Corpse Skin People rushed out, you should have held out for quite some time, right? How did it end up like this?"

Yang Yan looked at their exhausted state, a bit puzzled.

"Mr. Yang, you knew those ghouls would charge out, didn't you? You should have given us a heads-up, so we could be mentally prepared! Almost scared us to death."

Liu Jun said with a wry smile.

At this moment, his legs were still trembling, and his heart was pounding.

"Once I engage him directly, he won't have the energy to control those things. Those things will instinctively run back to their corpses, so I told you to shoot them on sight for this reason."

Yang Yan said calmly.

These were things he had known for a while, so he didn't deny it.

"But come on, brother! Can you let us know beforehand about something like this? You don't know how we felt when we saw those things!"

"If Captain Xia hadn't returned quickly, we might have all died here."

Liu Jun was evidently frightened, feeling a wave of resentment.

Even when facing the mysterious Yang Yan, he couldn't help but grumble a bit.
