Twin female zombies come to the door: My lord, please have mercy!

"C!"

With his mind made up, Lin Ye moved.

He pulled Fatty Wang, who was standing in front of him, behind him and drew the lightning-struck peach wood sword that was slung across his back.

"Captain Chu, have your men cease fire and retreat! This thing can't be killed by physical means, leave it to me!"

Lin Ye shouted.

Chu Hongyan gritted her teeth and suddenly made a stop-fire gesture.

The Ninth Bureau agents quickly provided cross-cover and retreated five meters away.

Without the suppression of firepower, the five venomous corpses let out a terrifying roar and charged towards Lin Ye with heavy steps. Poisonous mud splattered everywhere, and a foul stench filled the air.

Lin Ye stood still, his posture as straight as a pine tree, showing no fear.

He swiped his left hand across his tactical belt, instantly pinching three [Three Yang Fire Talismans] covered with intricate cinnabar array patterns between his fingers.

"Nine purple steps tread the heavens, each step a lotus blossom!"

Lin Ye stepped out with the mysterious Yu Step, his figure transforming into a black afterimage as he charged towards the five enormous creatures.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

As he ran, he suddenly threw out the three yellow talismans in his hand.

The talisman transformed into three dazzling golden beams in mid-air, landing precisely at three specific locations around the mud pit—Tian Shu, Tian Xuan, and Tian Ji.

"Three Powers Lock the Evil, Activate!"

Lin Ye clenched his sword fingers, and his incantation thundered from his mouth.

The three golden beams instantly connected to form a visible crimson light curtain, completely sealing off the five pools of liquid and the five monsters inside.

The moment the light screen rose, the extremely yin energy continuously supplied by the earth's veins was completely cut off!

Without the replenishment of Yin energy, the five-headed monster's movements visibly slowed down.

Lin Ye seized this fleeting opportunity.

He suddenly bit his left index finger, and a stream of true blood containing the vast pure Yang essence gushed out.

Lin Ye used his finger as a brush, generously applying the pure Yang blood to the spine of the lightning-struck peach wood sword.

The originally dark red peach wood sword, after drinking its fill of pure yang blood, burst forth with a dazzling crimson light, like a blazing sun.

"Jade Purity Begins, True Symbols Proclaim the Covenant. The Three Yangs Subdue Fire, Burning Heaven and Boiling Sea!"

"Burn it!"

Lin Ye gripped his sword with both hands, aimed at the space in front of him that was locked by the Three Talents Formation, and slashed down fiercely through the air.

"boom!!!"

An extremely violent pure yang flame, forming a roaring fire dragon, burst forth from the tip of the peach wood sword.

The flames were pure, without any other color, and possessed a fierce and domineering power that could sweep away all evil in the world. They instantly engulfed the five poisonous corpses in the pool.

"Aww!"

A heart-wrenching scream echoed throughout the factory.

The incredibly tough rotting flesh mixed with highly toxic mud.

The moment it encounters the pure Yang fire, it's like butter thrown into a furnace, beginning to melt and vaporize wildly.

The flames, trapped by the Three Talents Formation, had nowhere to vent and could only compress and burn wildly inward.

In less than ten seconds.

Five terrifying monsters, each two meters tall, along with the patch of poisonous mud beneath their feet, were burned to a pile of charred ashes.

The flames gradually faded, and the factory was plunged back into darkness.

Only the lingering, acrid smell in the air testified to the devastating force of the attack.

"Gulp."

The Ninth Bureau agents, hiding behind cover, all swallowed hard.

The way they looked at Lin Ye was as if they were gazing up at a war god who had descended to earth.

Chu Hongyan's hands, gripping the two guns, trembled slightly.

She had seen descriptions of advanced Taoist techniques countless times in the Ninth Bureau's encrypted files.

What she witnessed today, the sheer power to scorch the heavens and boil the seas with a wave of her hand, completely shattered her previous pride built on firearms.

Lin Ye sheathed the peach wood sword and exhaled a long breath.

Unleashing a Dao Fire of this scale consumes a great deal of pure Yang Qi.

A fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his breathing was slightly heavy.

A cool fragrance wafted from my side.

Leng Yue walked to his side.

She didn't offer any praise, but instead took out a clean white silk handkerchief from her sleeve.

Long, slender, cool fingers gently held a corner of a silk handkerchief and lightly wiped the sweat from Lin Ye's forehead.

The fingertips brushed against Lin Ye's burning brow, bringing a refreshing coolness.

Their eyes met.

In Leng Yue's deep red eyes, there was a tenderness and appreciation that only Lin Ye could understand.

"Well done, brother-in-law!"

Froststar waved her little fists beside her, her face full of admiration.

"Ding! Option task completed, official points +300, current points: 3650."

The title "True Lord of Fire Control" is now available for a limited time.

Lin Ye calmed his breathing and ignored the system's prompts.

He turned his gaze to the deepest part of the hall, where there was a heavy steel gate.

Above the gate hangs a sign covered in rust.

[Underground sewage treatment center].

"The dogs around the perimeter have been cleaned up."

Lin Ye handed the silk handkerchief back to Leng Yue and gripped the peach wood sword tightly in his other hand.

"The real bosses are down there. Let's go down and meet them."

The group regrouped and, led by Lin Ye, slowly walked towards the steel gate that led to the abyss of hell.

The gate was half-closed, and not a ray of light could see through the crack.

Just as Lin Ye was about to push open the gate, a strange bell sound suddenly came from the darkness ahead.

"Ring... Ring..."

Accompanied by the sound of a bell, a gaunt old man with a hunched back slowly emerged from the shadows.

The old man was wearing a tattered black robe, and his face was covered with large and small livid spots.

In his left hand he held a pale white banner for summoning souls, and in his right hand he held upside down a coffin-sealing nail covered in rust.

The old man's lifeless eyes stared intently at Lin Ye, who stood at the very front.

He grinned, revealing two rows of blackened teeth, and spat out a long string of extremely sinister underworld slang:

"When the gates of Yinshan open, wandering souls do not come; the living retreat, and the dead worship at the altar. Offerings are made to the Seven Star Submerged Coffin, and the incense burned is the Nine Netherworld Soul-Severing Incense."

"Who are you, friend? You dare to barge into my Yinshan Dharma Altar without even a greeting?"

At this critical juncture of life and death, the gatekeeper elder of the Yinshan Sect still maintained his evil sect demeanor, trying to probe Lin Ye's background through words.

Lin Ye stopped in his tracks, his posture as straight as a sword.

Faced with such a terrifying evil cultivator, he showed no fear whatsoever; instead, the cold smile on his lips grew even stronger.

He held the peach wood sword upside down, took a sudden step forward, and his clear voice boomed like thunder in the empty factory:

"The person who has come is your grandfather! Lin Ye from Taiping Street."

"What? You've caused your grandfather trouble several times, and now you don't recognize me?"

Lin Ye's eyes were sharp and fixed on the old man.

"Or did that old dog not warn you last night? I'm here today to collect interest!"

Upon hearing the name "Lin Ye," the hunchbacked old man's face instantly contorted into a ferocious and distorted expression.

"So it was you, you fool who doesn't know your own limits!"

The old man let out a maniacal laugh like an owl, and suddenly waved the soul-summoning banner in his hand.

"You killed Junior Brother Ma Si and destroyed my sect's Hundred Ghosts Night Parade. Tonight, I will tear out your tendons, peel off your skin, and forever imprison your three souls and seven spirits in the netherworld!"

As the soul-summoning banner was waved.

In the darkness behind the steel gate, countless pairs of venomous eyes, gleaming with a bloodthirsty red light, lit up.

Hundreds of vengeful spirits dressed in red rushed frantically towards the crowd.

A great war is about to break out!
