Chapter 22: Snap of Thunder, Annihilation!
As the voice spoke, the driver also revealed his true form, covered in blood and exuding a terrifying aura.
Boom, the light fixtures inside the bus burst, and a surge of black energy gushed out, shrouding half of the cabin. Zhou Mingyue instantly felt a terrifying pressure, her face draining of color.
“This… this is the Boss!”
The viewers in the livestream room were equally shocked, feeling an unprecedented chill through their screens. They couldn’t help but sweat for Zhang Beixuan.
“Weak in strength, but big in attitude.”
Facing the threat of the ghost driver, Zhang Beixuan yawned. The driver’s strength was not even on par with the giant turtle they had encountered earlier, leaving him unimpressed.
“Alright, alright, smelly Taoist! Since you seek death, I’ll oblige!”
The ghost driver growled lowly. The ghostly driver’s body swayed, and with terrifying speed, he charged straight at Zhang Beixuan. In his hand, he held a blood-stained steel knife. He was inches away from Zhang Beixuan, but Zhang Beixuan still showed no reaction. A cruel smile crept onto the ghost driver’s face as he aimed the bloody knife at Zhang Beixuan’s heart and thrust it downward.
The horrifying atmosphere had the viewers in the livestream room on the edge of their seats, and Zhou Mingyue widened her eyes, too afraid to breathe. If Zhang Beixuan were to be killed, she would surely die as well.
Clang, a muffled sound echoed within the bus cabin. Zhou Mingyue’s pupils suddenly contracted, and her mouth gaped open. The ghost driver’s knife was stuck in a layer of golden light, which enveloped Zhang Beixuan’s body, shielding him completely. The golden light radiated brilliantly, like the midday sun. Meanwhile, the ghost driver on the opposite side had his eyes wide open, filled with fear.
The next moment, Zhang Beixuan flashed a crooked smile, and a subtle electric charge crackled at his fingertips. Although it was just a thread of electricity, the violent thunderous sound reverberated through the air, causing the surrounding space to tremble. With a flick of his finger, Zhang Beixuan pressed it against the ghost driver.
Crackle—
Thunder burst in the air!
Boom—
A white light flickered within the bus cabin, prompting Zhou Mingyue to close her eyes instinctively. When she opened them again, she sat on the ground, unsure of when she had fallen. The bus had been completely obliterated, and the remaining ghost passengers, including the ghost driver, were nowhere to be seen. There was no need to guess. They were surely gone. On the road, only Zhang Beixuan stood within the golden light, exuding an aura of serenity, like an immortal banished from the heavens.
Silence! Utter silence!
The entire livestream room, including Zhou Mingyue, was enveloped in an eerie stillness.
For several tens of seconds…
The viewers in the livestream room finally grasped the situation.
“I saw thunder! I swear I saw thunder!”
“I told you the Taoist priest was amazing! I never expected him to be this incredible!”
“Help! They talk about believing in science and then show us this!?”
Of course, Zhang Beixuan was unaware of the barrage of comments in the chat. At this moment, his mind was continuously receiving notifications.
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for gaining 80 points!”
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for gaining 80 points!”
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for gaining 400 points!”
There was no need to guess. The 400 points came from the ghost driver.
“This Five Thunder Divine Technique is really powerful. Just a thread of lightning caused such an effect,” Zhang Beixuan marveled as he looked at the wreckage of the bus scattered around.
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the system task: Slay the ghost passengers on the bus!”
“Task completed: Reward [Thirty Years of Cultivation] [Martial Art Upgrade Card*1].”
With another notification sound, Zhang Beixuan’s vital energy began to surge within him, and his cultivation visibly increased rapidly. After a few breaths…
A golden light burst from Zhang Beixuan’s eyes as he looked at his system panel.
【Host: Zhang Beixuan】
【Realm: Early Innate Stage (47.7%)】
【Artifacts: Celestial Taoist Robe, Spatial Ring】

【Special Title: Savior of All Beings (Opposite Sex Attraction +50)】
His cultivation had increased by six percentage points to reach the early innate stage.
As expected! He had also gained 1500 points!
Enough to do five whiteboard lotteries!
Not bad at all!
Zhang Beixuan smiled and walked slowly towards Zhou Mingyue.
“Taoist!”
Zhou Mingyue was still shocked, looking at Zhang Beixuan walking towards her like a deer in headlights. It had to be said that Zhang Beixuan’s recent actions had completely captivated her. Her pretty face flushed red. At this moment, Zhou Mingyue would be willing to do whatever Zhang Beixuan asked of her.
Zhang Beixuan nodded and then… pulled out his own QR code.
“Come on, beauty, it’s time to settle the bill.”
Zhou Mingyue: “…”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
