Mysterious Revival

Chapter 1342 - 1309: Solo Showdown

Yang Jian thought entering the infinite reset state would perfectly avoid Old Qin's attack. However, he didn't expect that Old Qin would not only bring the Sexton Luo Qian but also bring that Meng Xiaodong from Dachuan City.

Two old monsters from the Republic of China Period were summoned, and who knows if there might be a third or fourth; it's utterly without chivalry.

At this moment.

Resetting to two twenty-four, Yang Jian still couldn't break free from the encirclement of the old monsters from the Republic of China Period. He looked at the hunched old woman carrying a basket in front of him, his face extraordinarily grim.

Because his Ghost Eyes already saw that near this building, the number of old women was increasing at an unimaginable speed.

"Continuing to run is meaningless, Meng Xiaodong's presence has been seen over the past decades. The only way is to fight her here; only then do I have a chance to survive. After all, dealing with her alone here is better than dealing with Old Qin, Luo Qian, and Meng Xiaodong at two thirty."

"And I don't have much time to deal with her, only six minutes. If I can't take her down within six minutes, I will undoubtedly lose. However, if I really want to go all out against Meng Xiaodong, I can't limit the time to six minutes; the more time I reserve, the better."

Yang Jian's eyes flickered, and he started thinking frantically. At this moment, he decided not to run away anymore and chose to confront Meng Xiaodong head-on.

But his Ghost Eyes continued to flicker with a scarlet glow, attempting a large-scale reset.

"Young man, give up. So far, no one has escaped from me; you won't be the exception."

Meng Xiaodong saw Yang Jian still trying to reset and coldly reminded him.

"I never planned to escape because I know I can't, but I also don't intend to fight you here." Yang Jian said, then the large-scale reset started again.

Very quickly.

He disappeared from the spot.

"I see, trying to buy more time, are we? Unfortunately, too naive; whether six minutes or a hundred, the result is the same."

Meng Xiaodong saw through Yang Jian's intention, and at this moment, her figure started to disappear rapidly as well.

Very quickly.

Everything on the rooftop of the building returned to normal.

Time reversed.

Two twenty-one.

Reversed again.

Two eighteen.

Two fifteen.

Yang Jian entered the state of infinite reset, trying to get as far away from the two thirty time node as possible, going to a more distant place.

With each restart, in the end, he managed to gain a full half-hour for himself.

The time came to two o'clock.

"It's enough, resetting any further doesn't make much sense, just wasting energy, so I'll confront Meng Xiaodong here, either win or die."

Yang Jian took a deep breath, exited the state of infinite reset, deciding to leave himself half an hour to confront Meng Xiaodong.

However, he didn't stay in the city.

Because he hadn't forgotten Meng Xiaodong's supernatural power, she had to increase numbers by replacing real living people to make her past self appear.

So, the more populated areas in the city are more dangerous, whereas the outskirts, wilderness without living people, are a better choice.

But in this world, finding a large, uninhabited area is a bit difficult.

In the end, Yang Jian could only choose to fight in a suburban area and used the Ghost Domain to transfer everyone in this area away, preventing them from becoming Meng Xiaodong's medium.

"Only I am within a twenty-kilometer radius; it should be enough."

Yang Jian held a cracked long spear, quietly waiting.

He didn't know if he could be an opponent now or how long he could last, but he had one more card up his sleeve: the Ghost Child. He was looking forward to the Ghost Child's growth; if it made it in time, it would definitely appear, as the Ghost Child must have predicted the current situation after consuming the human skin paper.

If the Ghost Child didn't come, there can only be one possibility: that it's ensured death even if it did come, unable to change the outcome, so it chose to continue growing.

All Yang Jian had to do was hold on until the Ghost Child arrived.

"If I can take down Meng Xiaodong, I can alter the future, making Meng Xiaodong disappear at two thirty, and once she's dead, she wouldn't exist at the future time point, so I would only need to face Old Qin and Luo Qian at that time..."

Even though that time would still be a hellish start, at least one Republic of China-era monster would have been taken down.

Just as he prepared himself.

The surrounding Ghost Domain made Yang Jian feel the paranormal invasion.

A strange, eerie old woman carrying a basket appeared.

Without suspense, Meng Xiaodong came after him again.

However, as Meng Xiaodong appeared.

The moment she did, Yang Jian holding the Firewood Knife immediately disappeared from the spot.

The next moment.

The Ghost Shadow covered, the Firewood Knife slashed down, dismembering the paranormal attack instantaneously without any holdback.

However, after the slash.

Unexpectedly, Meng Xiaodong stood there as if nothing had happened, with not a scratch on her body, as if the attack just now was a joke.

"Hmm?" Yang Jian's expression turned stern; he immediately stopped and observed.

"Was it necessary to be so hurried? Attacking as soon as we meet, young man? If you have no confidence in dealing with me, I can give you another chance to escape; this time, you can try to run even farther." Meng Xiaodong said with a smile, but her face, full of wrinkles, revealed a sinister look.

Yang Jian, with a cold face, said, "Don't be arrogant; do I need you to give chances? You can't stop my infinite reset, and I can't stop your infinite invasion. If we really drag it out, we are evenly matched. I stopped resetting because it's meaningless; if I can't deal with you, giving me thirty minutes is no different than thirty days."

"You're undoubtedly familiar with this Firewood Knife in my hand, coming from that tall male corpse in Caesar Grand Hotel, but it seems using it against you doesn't have any effect."

"Not really, just that I can withstand such attacks many, many times," Meng Xiaodong said.

As her voice fell, the black cloth on the basket she held lifted a corner, and then a small head peeked out, looking around, before leaping out of the basket and landing heavily on the ground.

It was a moving rag doll.

After falling to the ground, the rag doll immediately got up, dusted off itself, and ran and jumped around Meng Xiaodong.

And it wasn't just one rag doll; from the basket in Meng Xiaodong's hand, rag dolls jumped down one after another, and in just a few moments, a group of rag dolls was orbiting around Meng Xiaodong.

"Replacement dolls?" Yang Jian's expression stiffened slightly.

Indeed.

This supernatural item, the replacement doll, was made by Meng Xiaodong.

But doesn't the old woman have to pay for the replacement dolls in her hand? There are already a dozen released, meaning his firewood knife needs to slash at least a dozen times to exhaust them.

Moreover, the replacement dolls in the basket are still running out... it's almost endless.

"Even the replacement dolls in my hand know, Xiao Qin was right, you indeed have great potential," Meng Xiaodong said. "That's why you must die."

Yang Jian said nothing, just thinking about how to counter this Meng Xiaodong.

But he couldn't think of a way.

His only reliance was the coffin nail.

"You won't know if you can win until you fight; thinking alone won't help." Yang Jian decided to find flaws through confrontation.

Immediately.

Ghost flame began to emerge within the Ghost Domain.

The pale green ghost flame appeared abruptly, followed by an almost uncontrollable trend as it frantically burned, and within seconds, the Ghost Domain had turned into a sea of fire.

Ghost flame burns supernatural elements.

Each replacement doll surrounding Meng Xiaodong shivered in fear, clustering around her, clinging tightly to her pant leg, afraid of touching the ghost flame.

But still, a replacement doll accidentally touched the ghost flame.

The replacement doll was panic-stricken, desperately blowing at the burning area, trying to extinguish the ghost flame.

However, after blowing twice, the ghost flame instantly expanded, engulfing the replacement doll, and within moments, one replacement doll was burnt to death.

Yang Jian understood the properties of replacement dolls well.

Although they can resist fatal supernatural attacks, they themselves are fragile, and if a replacement doll is killed first, then its ability to replace will be invalid.

But relying solely on ghost flame is not enough.

Next moment.

Countless charred ghost hands extended into the firelight, scrambling to grab the old woman before them, wanting to tear her apart or drag her into the ghost fire to burn her alive.

"Use all supernatural methods to see if she can be dealt with..." Yang Jian thought.

However, just as his thoughts appeared.

He then noticed once again that his Ghost Domain was being invaded.

The second old woman, carrying a basket, emerged within the firelight, and as she appeared, the surrounding ghost flames even retreated, unable to consume her.

"So fast?" Yang Jian's eyelid twitched.

But the harsh reality was far from over.

Signs of Ghost Domain invasion occurred again, as the third old woman appeared, also carrying a basket within the firelight.

Fourth, fifth, sixth...

More and more old women appeared within Yang Jian's Ghost Domain.

"The ability of infinite restart is quite good, but other methods are somewhat weak, though still impressive, considering he's still young."

Meng Xiaodong's voice came from the countless ghost hands covering, and then those charred ghost hands peeled away as if they lost all supernatural power, unable to move anymore.

Soon.

The ghost hand attack failed, and she appeared unscathed before him.

But just as Meng Xiaodong freed herself.

A coffin nail appeared out of thin air, piercing fiercely into her forehead, almost penetrating her entire head.

The suppression of the coffin nail remained terrifying.

Meng Xiaodong's neck leaned back, then her body became motionless, standing still in dead silence.

"Coffin nail? This should be your trump card, right? Though successful, how many nails do you have in your hand? Remember, only three were made, and even if they're all in your hand, they can only nail three of me."

Another Meng Xiaodong spoke again, her elderly face still conveying a chilling coldness, unconcerned by the previous attack.

Yang Jian was silent.

He still had another coffin nail in his hand, enough to nail two Meng Xiaodong.

But compared to the surrounding numbers, it's merely a drop in the ocean.

Yet at least he could prove that even for this Republic of China Period monster, the coffin nail still worked.

Instead, the firewood knife was useless now, with so many replacement dolls, even if the other stood still for him to chop, he wouldn't be able to kill her.

But he was also confident that he wouldn't be killed by Meng Xiaodong.

After all, restarting oneself plus infinite restart possesses the ability to survive in any state.

But with this costly exhaustion, the familiar person would surely be himself.

During the hesitant moment.

The number of old women appearing nearby multiplied again, this time there were already more than twenty.

Though he had transferred the living nearby, this Meng Xiaodong could completely invade the living tens of kilometers away before coming here.

"Should I use the Ghost Domain to submerge it in the lake?" Yang Jian still had a supernatural ability unused, which was Ghost Lake.

Forty percent of his Ghost Lake could open a road to this world's Ghost Lake.

Just at that time, he would also be attacked, though he was confident he could survive in the Ghost Lake.

Yet at this moment.

His body had already suffered supernatural erosion, starting to blur rapidly, disappearing, and simultaneously, a blurred figure appeared in front of him.

At this moment, Meng Xiaodong chose to take action.
