One-Click Upgrade: Super Decomposition System

C481 – The Aura of Death Surrounded Him He Could Not Leave

After a considerable wait, Xia Lan was nowhere to be seen.

Zhang Daoqian glanced at Zhu Yifan, who had only recently awakened, his forehead shrouded in a sinister black mist, and his brow furrowed in concern.

The death Qi was a formidable adversary, so tenacious that even he couldn’t absorb it.

Currently, the death Qi was corroding Zhu Yifan’s body. Without extraction, not even a divine immortal might save him once it fully invaded his system.

With this in mind, Zhang Daoqian addressed him.

“Captain Zhu, the evil ghost has sustained severe injuries and likely won’t show itself today.

You shouldn’t delay any longer. Hurry back and seek out a powerful ally to help you draw out the death Qi that’s entwined around your brow!”

“The shroud of death is upon you, and time is running short!”

Zhang Daoqian’s words sent a ripple of alarm through the group. They cast anxious glances at Zhu Yifan’s darkened forehead, their faces etched with concern.

“Captain!”

“Boss!”

……

Hearing this, Zhu Yifan felt a chill in his heart.

He was acutely aware of the death Qi’s terror, knowing that if not for the protective energy of the sarira within him, he might not have awakened at all.

Yet even the sarira’s protection was not enough to purge the death Qi completely, underscoring the gravity of the threat.

“Captain, we can’t afford to delay addressing your condition. We’ll report the situation to our superiors and request that they dispatch more powerful reinforcements!”

One of Zhu Yifan’s men, the bearer of the copper coin sword, expressed his concern.

“Indeed! Captain, with the evil ghost gravely wounded, it’s unlikely to risk an appearance in the coming days. Your well-being must take precedence!”

“Let’s do this: Zi Ning, you escort the captain back to headquarters, while the rest of us hold the fort!”

……

In that moment, Zhu Yifan wavered, but ultimately, he resolved to act, saying,

“Very well, we’ll pull back. I’ll brief the higher-ups in detail later and arrange for reinforcements.”

But just as the words left his lips, before anyone could ease their guard, a chilling breeze swept through, and the temperature in the piano room dropped noticeably.

Immediately following, a piercing female voice rang out.

“Think you can just run away?”

Instinctively, everyone’s nerves tightened, and they took on defensive stances, eyes fixed on the source of the voice.

There stood Xia Lan, draped in a flowing red robe, her long hair billowing, her face deathly pale as she emerged from the ground, eyes filled with resentment as she glared at them.

But what truly stunned them was the solidity of Xia Lan’s ghostly form and the fearsome power emanating from her.

She was a far cry from the ghost that had fled before—almost unrecognizably different!

“How can this be!?”

“This…”

……

The group stared at Xia Lan, horror-stricken.

Even Jiang Hao, who had been observing from a distance, was taken aback. Reflecting on the events that had unfolded, he suddenly understood.

“So, this is Xia Lan’s secret, huh?”

In that moment, Xia Lan fixed her gaze on Zhu Yifann, Zhang Daoqian, and the others, and let out an enraged bellow.

“None of you are going anywhere!”

With that roar, her wildly cascading hair began to coil and stretch impossibly long.

“Swish, swish, swish…”

The sound of slicing through the air filled the room as Xia Lan’s hair transformed into a barrage of arrows, hurtling straight at the group.

The crowd was petrified. Zhang Daoqian kicked a nearby stool at Xia Lan in desperation.

“Thwack!”

The arrows, once strands of Xia Lan’s hair, pierced the stool, reducing it to splinters.

The relentless volley of hair-arrows, as if homing in on their targets, continued its onslaught towards the group.

In a frenzy, they threw anything they could get their hands on, trying futilely to block the arrow storm.

But it was all in vain.

In a flash of insight, Zhang Daoqian had an epiphany and bellowed out a command.

“Stop throwing things—fight fire with fire!”
