Chapter 765 Ghost General Devours Souls - Trying the Cool and Hot
"Calling her won't do any good."

Go Dong-wook glanced at Goo Yeon, whose face was filled with fear, and then smiled as he looked at Jang Man-wol, whose fair and translucent skin seemed to be able to be broken with a touch. At this moment, her clear and bright eyes seemed to speak, glaring at him angrily. Her delicate and petite features, coupled with her gloomy expression, made her even more charming.

The green dress accentuated her perfect proportions, and her petite 161cm frame trembled slightly with anger and the weight of the backdrop.

Go Dong-wook smiled and smacked his lips. Despite Jang Manyue's petite figure, she possessed a peach-shaped bottom and butterfly-shaped shoulder blades that he found amazing and endearing.

Well, in terms of proportion, it's quite reasonable.

"Split up and report to the chairman immediately after you get out—" Knowing that he couldn't rely on Jang Man-wol, Gu Lian made a decision immediately. She shouted and activated her speed ability, rushing towards Gao Dongxu to entangle him and create an opportunity and time for her two subordinates to escape.

"Team leader!"

"Go quickly——"

A playful smile played on Gao Dongxu's lips as he fixed his gaze on Gu Lian, who was rushing towards him.

Her speed was extraordinary; her figure left a blurry afterimage in the air, imbued with the power of anger and determination. Her long and powerful leg, already whistling through the air, kicked fiercely toward his face.

However, Gao Dongxu simply raised his right arm casually, his movements light and effortless, perfectly blocking and parrying.

With a muffled thud, the force dissipated. He took a small step back, dissipating the impact, and his smile became even more composed, even carrying a hint of mockery: "What, are you trying to sacrifice yourself to buy your two men time to escape?"

Gu Lian's striking pink short hair fluttered slightly from the rapid movement, and her beautiful but pale face now held only a cold resolve. She ignored Gao Dongxu's taunts, gritted her teeth, and silently lunged forward again! Her fists and feet rained down on Gao Dongxu like a storm, her moves fierce and filled with a desperate ferocity.

Unfortunately, faced with such a vast difference in strength, her attacks seemed utterly futile. Gao Dongxu didn't even use his full power; he simply shifted his body slightly, as if taking a leisurely stroll, and deflected all her attacks without a trace. He smiled and shook his head, a hint of pity in his eyes for the overconfident.

"Commendable courage, but unfortunately... lacking in strength."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly moved, his right leg sweeping out like a steel whip, delivering a powerful side kick that struck Gu Lian's abdomen with perfect accuracy!
"Ugh—!"

Ju Lian was utterly unable to withstand the immense force. With a cry of pain, she was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the smooth yet cold marble floor with a thud that sent chills down her spine. She curled up, the intense pain making it almost impossible for her to breathe, and her pretty face instantly drained of all color.

Gao Dongxu withdrew his leg, his gaze sweeping over her pained yet stubborn face, feeling no pity whatsoever. In his view, for such a wild and untamed horse, necessary whipping and taming were paramount. Only by completely shattering her pride could he teach her to submit.

His gaze drifted lightly to the other two ghost messengers who were rushing towards the hotel entrance in different directions. Watching their fleeing figures, Gao Dongxu couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle, a smile full of teasing and disdain, like a cat playing with mice.

"Can they escape?" he murmured to himself, as if mocking their naiveté.

The next moment, he flipped his hand, and the Ghost Seal, gleaming with a ghostly green light, appeared. As he poured his spiritual power into it, the surface of the Ghost Seal suddenly lit up with a ghostly green light that enveloped the surroundings.

An indescribable, terrifying pressure instantly filled the entire hotel lobby, the temperature plummeted, and even the light seemed to dim. Not far away, Jang Man-wol and Goo Yeon, who was struggling on the ground, widened their beautiful eyes almost simultaneously, staring incredulously at Go Dong-wook's figure.

A gigantic ghostly figure, over two meters tall, slowly materialized and emerged, accompanied by dense black yin energy!
The ghostly figure was clad in ancient armor covered with marks from swords and blades, wielding a rusty yet menacing spear, and riding a ferocious ghost horse whose eyes burned with eerie green flames and which kept snorting!
Within the ghost general's empty eye sockets, two eerie green flames flickered violently, locking onto their fleeing prey.

"Hiss—!" The ghost horse let out a non-human neigh, its four hooves pounding the void, carrying the ghost general on its back, and sped off like an arrow, so fast that only a black and green afterimage remained!
In the blink of an eye, the ghost general had caught up with the ghost messenger named Long Jiu. Without any hesitation or sound, the ghost general mechanically raised the huge spear and thrust it out!

"Pfft!"

The spear pierced Long Jiu's soul with ease. Long Jiu's forward momentum abruptly froze. He looked down in disbelief at the spearhead emanating a chilling aura of death protruding from his chest, his face instantly filled with extreme terror. Before he could even utter a scream, his soul abruptly collapsed, turning into a thick cloud of black smoke.

The ghostly flames in the ghost's eye sockets leaped excitedly. With a sudden inhale, the black smoke containing pure yin energy was drawn in and sucked into the mouth beneath the hideous helmet.

"Long Jiu—!!"

Another ghost, Toshio, witnessed his companion's soul being instantly scattered and absorbed. He was struck dumb, frozen in place, overwhelmed by fear and grief, and almost forgot to run away.

"Run! Junxiong! Run!!" Gu Lian, lying on the ground, endured the excruciating pain, her face pale as she screamed in a hoarse voice filled with despair.

However, Junxiong seemed not to hear him. He slowly turned his head to look at the fallen team leader, Gu Lian, a complex smile, filled with determination and bitterness, on his face. "Team leader..." His voice was soft, yet exceptionally clear, "It's a pleasure... to be your team member..."

After saying these almost final words, Junxiong's eyes flashed with a final determination. Instead of running away, he suddenly leaped up, like a moth drawn to a flame, and charged towards the tall, ghostly horse and the terrifying ghost general!
He tried to use his insignificant strength to fight for even the slightest chance for the team leader!

But his sacrifice was in vain.

The ghost general coldly watched the tiny spirit rushing towards it, its ghostly fire in its eerie green eyes remaining unmoved. Its free, massive, armored ghostly hand suddenly shot out, grabbing Junxiong's neck with pinpoint accuracy and lifting him effortlessly into the air.

Junxiong struggled desperately, but he couldn't budge the ghostly hand at all.

The ghost hand suddenly squeezed hard with its five fingers!
"puff!"

A soft, teeth-grinding cracking sound rang out. Junxiong's neck tilted at an eerie angle, his struggles ceasing instantly. The next second, his soul rapidly contracted and deformed as if being squeezed and compressed, ultimately transforming into a purer, darker ball of Yin energy.

The ghost general casually stuffed the ball of yin energy into its mouth as if savoring a dessert, swallowed it with a gurgling sound. The ghostly fire in its eye sockets seemed to intensify as a result.

"No!!! Toshio-!!"

Gu Lian watched helplessly as her last loyal subordinate was devoured in such a desperate way before her eyes, letting out a heart-wrenching scream.

Immense pain and hatred surged and erupted within her like magma! She didn't know where the strength came from, but she struggled and shakily stood up again.

She stared intently at the smiling man not far away, her eyes bloodshot, almost dripping with blood.

Her beautiful red lips trembled uncontrollably, and from between her teeth she forced out a low, hoarse question filled with endless hatred: "Why... you've already killed the ghost messenger who disrespected you... why won't you spare us?! Why must you be so ruthless?!"

As if he had heard an interesting question, Gao Dongxu gently tossed the Ghost Seal in his hand, its light restrained, and leisurely enjoyed the expression of Gu Lian's collapse and hatred. He smiled and said, "Why? The answer is very simple."

He paused, his gaze filled with undisguised possessiveness as he looked Gu Lian up and down, admiring her still curvaceous figure despite her disheveled state and her beautiful face, which was tearful yet stubbornly resolute.

"Of course it's because I've taken a liking to you." His tone was flippant and malicious. "I just wanted to test whether a beautiful and aloof female ghost like you is cold." This was not just a provocation, but a blatant insult and desecration.

For a moment, Gu Lian couldn't even fully grasp the deeper meaning of his words, or rather, she couldn't believe that such a shameless person existed in the world.

But Zhang Manyue, standing to the side, understood instantly! It was as if those words had struck a nerve; her pretty face first flushed crimson, then turned deathly pale. Shame and indignation flared as she gritted her teeth and cursed, "Bastard! Scumbag! Shameless!!"

"Ahem..." Gao Dongxu seemed to only then notice Zhang Manyue's presence, turning his head with an awkward smile and offering a half-hearted apology: "Oh dear, sorry, sorry, I forgot you were also... um..." He deliberately dragged out the words, his gaze sweeping over Zhang Manyue before slowly adding, "You were ice-cold... I just couldn't remember, please don't mind."

This additional comment was even more embarrassing for Zhang Manyue than the previous teasing!

"Go to hell!!" Extreme shame and anger made her completely lose her mind. She grabbed an exquisite teacup from the coffee table next to her and smashed it hard against Gao Dongxu's face!

Gao Dongxu casually tilted his head slightly, and the teacup flew past his hair, smashing to the ground. Far from being angry, he smiled at Zhang Manyue, whose chest was heaving violently, and said threateningly, "I've already apologized. If you dare to act tough with me again, you'll be whipped again!"

He emphasized the word "whipping" very heavily, clearly implying something else.

Zhang Manyue's pretty face turned red with anger, and her whole body trembled, feeling as if she was about to explode. But upon hearing the word "whipping," especially thinking of Gao Dongxu's wicked character who meant what he said and the reality that she had lost the protection of the divine tree and was powerless to resist, she was filled with rage.

In the end, all she could do was huff and puff out a cold snort of shame and indignation with all her might, then abruptly turn around, stride quickly toward the stairs, and escape from this scene that had made her so incredibly embarrassed and angry, hoping to get rid of it all.

At this moment, Gu Lian finally realized, belatedly, the dirty intentions behind Gao Dongxu's words!

Shame, anger, hatred... all sorts of emotions erupted in her heart like a volcano! Her cheeks flushed red with extreme anger and humiliation, and she bit her lower lip so hard that it almost drew blood.

"Utterly shameless!!" she cursed, her voice trembling as she mustered all her strength. "I'll fight you to the death!!"
