Lu Chen’s achievement of killing five White Wander Roaming Spirit Evils in one strike also shocked the barbarians around him.

“How… powerful.”

“He really is talented.”

“We are saved!”

“Master Wuzu is right. With a talent like Ah’Chen in our village, we will be much safer.”

…

Those that exclaimed were the barbarians collapsed on the ground. Initially, they thought tonight would be the end of their lives.

Even when they saw Lu Chen joining the battle, they still didn’t think they would survive. After all, the Evil seemed incredibly strong to be able to control a dozen Ghost Clothes.

However, Lu Chen’s Ghost Slash frightened every single one of them. They could clearly feel the unstoppable power contained in the strike that could kill both flesh and spirit. It felt Ah’Chen could cut down of anything no matter what was in front of him.

After the shock, they started cheering, for Lu Chen and also for their own safety.

However, Lu Chen didn’t pay any attention to them. After slaying the Evils, his eyes remained to stare at the hanger.

Even though Lu Chen wiped out five Evils in a single blow, the hanger was still here, there were still seven clothes on it.

What made Lu Chen squinted his eyes was a wedding gown with a headdress in the middle of the hanger. Unlike the rest of the colorful clothes, this one was fully colored red.

It was only normal for the wedding gowns to be red in color, thus, its color wasn’t surprising. But if its color was able to make Lu Chen feel dazzled, then it definitely was not normal.

However, although the wedding gown felt horrifying, Lu Chen didn’t back down. Instead, he held the sword in his right hand and charged forward.

I’m never afraid of fighting head-on.

While Lu Chen was charging forward, the barbarians also made their attacks from the sides.

“Fire, use fire.”

“Throw the torches!”

“Ah’Chen, careful!”

“Don’t worry about me, the fire won’t kill me, keep throwing.”

Living in the wild all year round, the barbarians naturally have their own ways to deal with the Evils. Hence, Lu Chen didn’t stop the barbarians from throwing the torches.

On the other hand, he didn’t stop his actions either. When the torches were thrown at the hanger, Lu Chen braced the flames and continued charging forward.

My body is strong and my body is thick, the fire won’t kill me.

As he thought, Lu Chen was closing the gap between him and the hanger in the midst of flames.

Shua, shua, shua—

When Lu Chen charged, the hanger also fought back. It didn’t move but the other six colorful clothes on the hanger have stretched out their sleeves and tangled towards Lu Chen.

At the same time, as the clothes stretched, some of them were thrown by the torches and starting to burn in raging flames.

But that didn’t kill the clothes on the hanger immediately. Instead, they were waving the burning sleeves wantonly like dancing fire serpents and used the fire to enhance their attacks.

Although the waving sleeves looked soft and weak, Lu Chen saw the sleeves hitting the ground and smashing holes on the ground.

There were also barbarians that tried to charge with Lu Chen but were sent flying backward while spitting out a mouthful of blood when the sleeves lashed on them.

Beyond that, it was more terrifying to be tangled by the sleeves.

As long as they were caught by the sleeves, the sleeves would start to drain the barbarians’ life essences and when their life essence has fallen below a limit, the clothes could possess their bodies and use them as puppets.

Which was exactly what happened to the two barbarians Lu Chen just killed with his Ghost Slash.

They could easily lash the barbarians up in the air and drain them to death. Such was the horror of the Ghost Clothes.

Unfortunately, while the clothes were threatening to the ordinary barbarians, Lu Chen was not in the same league as them. Compared to the barbarians, he has stronger strength and greater body. All this made him fearless of the sleeves’ attacks.

Bang, bang, bang…

Six clothes and twelve sleeves, they were waving wantonly like serpents and barraged on Lu Chen.

But all they could do was making noises when their attacks landed on Lu Chen. He didn’t even take a step backward or stop for the slightest. His body could easily take down the attacks.

In fact, the sleeves’ attacks felt like a gentle massage to him, not only was he not feeling pain, he was actually feeling kind of comfortable.

On the other hand, it would be a joke for the clothes to tangle themselves on him and drain his life essence.

A strong Vigor in him effectively turned his body into a scorching furnace to the Evils. At the very instant they clothes tried to attach themselves to him, they would be scorched by Lu Chen’s Vigor.

Chi—

The sleeves burnt away by Lu Chen’s Vigor.

Just like that, Lu Chen ignored almost every attack and approached the hanger quickly.

While he was charging forward, he was feeling the unstoppable force in him and the feeble attacks from the sleeves. He couldn’t help but think.

Sure enough, as long as my Constitution is high enough and my Strength strong, I will be immune to the Evils’ attacks. As long as I have enough prowess, Evils are just prey to me.

As he thought, he took another step and stood in front of the hanger. At the same time, his hands were holding the metal sword wrapped with the Ghost Demons’ auras and was about to slash out.

Ghost Slash was ready to cast.

Right at that moment, a faint sigh sounded in Lu Chen’s ears.

The sigh was filled with sadness and sorrow between long-separated lovers, like a newlywed wife who has not seen her husband for years. The sigh alone could make the listeners feel sad.

In the sad ambiance, Lu Chen had an urge to put down his sword and comfort the sad lady.

Naturally, the sigh came from the red wedding gown. At the same time, it has come down from the hanger.

While it was walking toward Lu Chen, the feeling of sadness intensified even more.

In Lu Chen’s eyes, it wasn’t a wedding gown anymore, but a sad lady dressed in the wedding gown.

When he saw her walking toward him, Lu Chen just wants to put down his weapon and there was no room for killing anymore in his heart.

Which he did.

When the lady walked toward him, the sword in his hands fell directly to the ground.

At the same time, he reached a hand out to her as if he was trying to hold her hand.

His actions made her laugh. She walked closer to him as if she was answering Lu Chen’s expectations. As the closer she gets, she was slowly lifting the headdress to kiss Lu Chen.

It was such a beautiful scene, a lonely wife who has been at home all the time now finally gets to meet her husband who just came back from the battlefield.

However, such a scene put the barbarians around in fear.

“Ah’Chen, wake up!”

“Ah’Chen, wake up now! It’s the Evil!”

“Damn it, throw the torches! Launch whatever ranged attacks we have!”

In the eyes of the barbarians, after the wedding gown lifted the red headdress, it was not the face of a beautiful girl at all, but a dark void.

The dark void felt as if it was linked to hell. Just looking at it alone infused fear in the hearts of the barbarians. Which was why they were shouting trying to wake Lu Chen up.

However, their shouts didn’t make the wedding gown worry at all. She wasn’t afraid of them not even the slightest.

Whereas the barbarians’ attempt to interfere with her influence on Lu Chen with the ranged attacks were all stopped by the other six colorful shirts.

Which was why even though the barbarians were angry and no matter how loud they shouted, they could only watch as the wedding gown gets closer to Lu Chen.

Sorrow slowly filled their hearts.

“Damn it, damn it! We should’ve never let Ah’Chen go in alone. We should’ve waited for Master Wuzu and the chieftain to come.”

“He is too young!”

“The Evils’ powers are peculiar. Brute force alone won’t work well against them!”

“Is there no other way else?”
