Chapter 937: Arriving at San Venganza

Huh~

Da Da~

Brush!

On a dark night, three unique figures were quickly traveling across the wilderness on their way from the cemetery to San Venganza. The two figures on the ground left trails of flames behind them as they moved, while the third figure flew through the air, occasionally circling the two flaming figures below.

After transforming into Ghost Rider, Johnny and Carter Slade both had exceptional speed, but Lin Rui, who was riding on an advanced Hoverboard, was able to keep up with them. In fact, his speed was only slightly slower than Iron Man’s.

So as Johnny and Carter Slade used all their power to race forward, Lin Rui was able to effortlessly fly through the air.

Finally, as dawn approached, Carter Slade slowed down and came to a stop at the edge of the wilderness, where Johnny and Lin Rui joined him. Ahead of them was a swamp, and beyond that lay the village of San Venganza.

“We’ve reached the swamp. The village of San Venganza is on the other side,” Carter Slade said as he sat on his flaming horse, addressing Johnny and Lin Rui. “I can only take you this far.”

Huh~

“Won’t you be coming with us?” Johnny asked, extinguishing the Hellfire on his body as he turned to Carter Slade.

“I’ve used up the last of my energy and can no longer fight with you,” Carter Slade replied, the flames flickering on his body.

Huh~

After speaking, the flames on Carter Slade’s body also quickly went out, revealing the weak old grave keeper underneath. Unlike Johnny, who was able to control and extinguish the Hellfire on his body with ease, Carter Slade no longer had the energy to maintain his Ghost Rider form.

Upon seeing Carter Slade’s obvious exhaustion, Johnny understood that he had done his best. Additionally, Carter Slade was the previous generation’s Ghost Rider, which meant that he had lived for over 200 years.

When Mephisto gave the position of a Ghost Rider to another one, Carter Slade’s energy began to wane, and it had been a struggle for him to remain active until now.

“Don’t worry, I won’t let Blackheart destroy this world,” Johnny reassured Carter Slade as he looked at him.

“I know you can do it. Take this, it might come in handy,” Carter Slade said with a smile as he pulled out an old gun from his waist and tossed it to Johnny.

As Johnny caught the gun, he felt as though he was receiving a kind of inheritance, the legacy of the previous generation of Ghost Riders. The gun felt heavy in his hand. While Carter Slade and Johnny spoke, Lin Rui hovered nearby on his Hoverboard, unsure of what to make of the situation.

“I wish you a smooth journey and I will look forward to hearing the good news,” Carter Slade said as he finally offered his blessings before sending Johnny and Lin Rui on their way.

“Let’s go, old friend!” Carter Slade then pulled on the reins, signaling for his old horse to turn around and head back.

Da Da Da ~

As they watched Carter Slade and his old horse ride off into the distance, Johnny and Lin Rui both had indescribable expressions in their eyes.

“Let’s keep going!” Watching Carter Slade Sley leave on his old horse, Johnny turned his gaze to the swamp ahead and said to Lin Rui who was suspended in mid-air.

Call!

The next moment, Johnny drove his bike towards the swamp again. This time, he didn’t transform into Ghost Rider. And Lin Rui also flew in the air without saying a word. He was faster and more flexible than Johnny, and his speed and agility made him an excellent scout.

Soon after, Johnny and Lin Rui entered the misty swamp. Once inside, they both became highly alert, as the environment was perfect for the appearance of the fallen angel water monster.

If they encountered one of these creatures in the swamp, it would likely be quite a challenge. As a result, both Johnny on the ground and Lin Rui in the air slowed down to be more cautious.

Johnny and Lin Rui remained vigilant throughout their journey across the swamp, but they were not attacked by any water monsters.

It’s possible that the death of the Earth Demon and Wind Demon had made the Water Demon afraid of Ghost Rider, or that Blackheart had already captured Roxanne and Bucky and saw no need to set up obstacles for Johnny and Lin Rui. Either way, they made it across the swamp without any incident.

Upon safely making their way through the swamp, Johnny and Lin Rui saw the abandoned village of San Venganza in the distance. This ruined land had been neglected for over a hundred years, but it was home to countless sealed evil spirits that, if released, could cause great harm to the world.

As Johnny and Lin Rui left the swamp and rushed towards the ruins of San Venganza, a figure emerged from the swamp behind them – it was the remaining fallen angel, Wallow (the Demon of Water). It turned out that it had been hiding in the swamp the entire time, but didn’t attack Johnny and Lin Rui as they passed by.

Abigor (the Demon of Wind), and Gressil (the Demon of Earth) were already dead, and Wallow (the Demon of Water) didn’t want to risk facing Ghost Rider again. Moreover, this time, Ghost Rider had someone who could hold their own against Blackheart by his side.

“Blackheart, you may be strong, but these guys are not weak. If you manage to get the contract and become the king of all ghosts then I’ll come back and serve you,” Wallow (the Demon of Water) said to itself as it watched Johnny and Lin Rui quickly depart.

Huh~

Wallow (the Demon of Water) then turned back into an invisible pool of water, sinking into the swamp and disappearing.

…

After crossing the swamp, Johnny and Lin Rui walked for about ten minutes before reaching the ruins of San Venganza just before dawn. Johnny parked his bike outside the ruins and walked inside, holding the gun that Carter Slade had given him before departing. Lin Rui, meanwhile, flew into the ruins on his Hoverboard.

Upon entering the ruins, Johnny and Lin Rui quickly spotted Blackheart, along with Roxanne and Bucky who were under his control. Blackheart was standing in the middle of the ruins, with Roxanne and Bucky lying at his feet, clearly trapped by some kind of magical technique.

“You guys are fast! Did you bring the contract?” Blackheart asked with a forced smile as he saw Johnny and Lin Rui appear in front of him.

Hoo!

“The contract is here! Let them go first!” Johnny shouted as he placed his left hand on his chest.

“Hmph! You don’t have the right to negotiate!”
