s before they turned into black mist and dissipated into thin air with an explosive sound.Xiao Yu glanced in the direction of the dispersed spirits and stopped his incantation. Putting away his wooden...Chapter 167: Bullying Coward

Xiao Yu looked at the old Taoist standing on the golden rune and said without any emotion, "Sorcerer, this is your punishment. You will suffer forty-nine days of intense fire torment to atone for your sins!"

"Ah... No... Please spare me... Ah... Or just kill me!"

The old Taoist lay flat on the golden rune, which emitted golden flames continuously burning his soul. His body twitched violently as he tried to break free from his shackles, and cries of agony escaped him.

Xiao Yu glanced at the wailing old Taoist in the Book of Ghosts and slowly closed it without showing any expression on his face.

At this moment, Xiao Yu's ghostly aura was no longer as solid as before and became ethereal again. A bitter smile appeared on Xiao Yu’s lips; he didn't expect using the Book of Ghosts to be so exhausting.

Xiao Yu’s ethereal ghost disappeared in a flash and reappeared beside his body. His ghost slowly walked over to his physical form, merging with it gradually.

When Xiao Yu's ghost completely merged back into his body, he opened his eyes slowly.

Xiao Yu looked at the chaotic basement covered with blood stains and scattered flesh on the ground and walls, but these sights didn’t stir any reaction in him.

Xiao Yu turned around and entered the elevator to go to the villa's living room where Cao Er was still unconscious.

He walked over to pinch Cao Er’s philtrum. Soon after, Cao Er slowly opened his eyes.

Cao Er woke up with a look of confusion in his eyes. He suddenly shivered and sprang up, remembering that someone had burst into the room earlier.

He looked up to see over ten of his men lying on the ground covered in blood like small rivers flowing slowly. Cao Er was stunned; his face turned pale with fear as he scanned around him.

Suddenly, Cao Er saw a shadow behind him out of the corner of his eye and his heart trembled. He jumped up from his seat and crawled forward several steps before turning to look back.

"You... What do you want I... My father is Cao Jingmin! The mayor of Deep Sea City, Cao Jingmin! If you dare to kill me, you won't get away either... Our Cao family will definitely take revenge for me!"

Cao Er stared at the corpses of over ten men before him and then looked at Xiao Yu's dagger. His face was full of fear, his legs trembling as he shouted fiercely at Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu looked at Cao Er in front of him without saying a word, holding the dagger and slowly walking towards Cao Er.

Seeing that Xiao Yu did not hesitate due to his words but rather stepped closer with each step, Cao Er's heart quivered. With every step Xiao Yu took, Cao Er's heart trembled violently.

As Xiao Yu gradually approached him, Cao Er, trembling in fear, slowly retreated backward, causing a stream of yellow liquid to leak out from his pants and leave a line on the ground as he moved backwards.

"Bang!"

Cao Er bumped into the wall of the living room while retreating. He turned his head to look at the wall behind him, then back at the bloody scene with the big man lying there, and despair filled his eyes.

"Thump... Sir, please spare me! I have money, lots of it! Just let me go and you can have all my money! Please..." Suddenly, cornered with no way out, Cao Er took a few steps forward and fell to his knees before Xiao Yu, pleading desperately.

"Young Master... Young Master... They've run off..." At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the villa.

However, the person's words were cut short as soon as they started. Xiao Yu turned his head to look at the door; there stood a bald man who immediately turned around and ran away upon seeing the scene inside the room.

Xiao Yu watched the man running outside. The air around him was thick with blood and death, and Xiao Yu knew instantly that this man was also someone used to killing.

Seeing the bald man escape, Xiao Yu's face remained calm without any sign of urgency. Instead, he casually took out a talisman from his pocket, muttered some incantation under his breath, and tossed it at the fleeing man.

The moment the talisman touched the bald man, there was an explosion as a huge burst of fire engulfed him while he was still running.

"Ah... Help me...!"

At this point, the bald man resembled a giant flaming ball, screaming in agony with his hands frantically patting at himself to extinguish the flames. Gradually, his movements slowed down and his screams grew fainter until he fell motionless on the ground.

Xiao Yu now found himself grateful for Cao Er's choice of location. Deep within the ecological park, it was deserted during the night, making it perfect for murder without witnesses.

"Ugh... Ugh... Ugh..."

Cao Er knelt on the ground, his head turned away from Xiao Liu in the flames as he emitted dry retching sounds.

The original plan was to escape when Xiao Yu wasn't paying attention, but seeing the miserable state of Bald Six made his heart tighten and he abandoned that idea.

Xiao Yu looked at Cao Er crying while hugging his leg with disgust. If not for this person, how would so many girls in their prime become vengeful ghosts full of resentment And several had even turned into abominations that were neither human nor ghost. This was something he knew, but there could be countless things he didn't know.

The more Xiao Yu thought about it, the angrier he became. He kicked Cao Er, who was kneeling in front of him, away and had no intention of letting this chief culprit die easily.

"Sir, please spare me! As long as you let me go, I have several hundred million in my bank account which I can give to you!"

Cao Er, who was kicked by Xiao Yu, didn't give up and crawled back, hugging Xiao Yu's leg and pleading desperately.

Now Cao Er's heart was extremely panicked, fearing that Xiao Yu would kill him in an instant. As long as Xiao Yu didn't kill him, money could be lost but he could earn it back; with the position of his family, how much couldn't they make

Hearing what Cao Er said, Xiao Yu's heart moved and he laughed lightly while looking at Cao Er: "Haha... I never expected you to have so much money! As long as you transfer all your money over here, I can spare your life... but I warn you not to play any tricks!" By the end of his words, Xiao Yu's voice was icy and merciless, exuding a chilling aura.

"No... No..."

As Cao Er heard that Xiao Yu wanted money, he gradually calmed down, taking a deep breath. As long as Xiao Yu didn't kill him, even if the money couldn't be retrieved for now, once Xiao Yu accepted it, he could find him; with his family's power, killing him would be as easy as squashing an ant.

"But how can I trust that you won't kill me after you receive the money"

"You have no choice but to believe in me! Otherwise, I don't mind inflicting some suffering on you before killing you!" Xiao Yu took out a talisman and said coldly while staring at Cao Er.

"Alright, alright, I believe Grandpa Hero is an honorable man!" Upon seeing Xiao Yu take out the talisman and looking towards where Bald Six was reduced to ashes, Cao Er shivered and quickly said.

Xiao Yu followed behind Cao Er into a room resembling a study. Cao Er opened his computer and asked, "Grandpa Hero, what's your account number I'll transfer the money right away!"

Xiao Yu casually mentioned an account number which Cao Er quickly typed in, transferring all the money from his own account.

Cao Er transferred the money completely, leaving not a single penny in his own account. Looking at his empty bank account, he bitterly thought that this money would first be stored with Xiao Yu for a few days; once it was his turn, he could make him return it just as easily as swallowing.

Standing behind Cao Er, Xiao Yu saw the smugness in his eyes through the computer screen. But Xiao Yu didn't care at all because he had anticipated this possibility and thus provided an account number for a charity organization.

Although these places are filled with darkness and corruption, Xiao Yu is content as long as half of the money helps those children.

Xiao Yu, who was standing behind Cao Er, followed a mysterious trajectory with his fingers, lightly dancing in the air. After a moment, an evil-warding talisman formed in his hand.

Xiao Yu gently pushed his hand forward, and an invisible wave rushed toward Cao Er. However, just as this wave was about to reach Cao Er, it was blocked by another unseen wave, causing the two waves to be at a standstill around Cao Er's body.

"Bang..."

After a moment, there was a faint sound; both waves simultaneously dispersed. The talisman hanging around Cao Er’s neck shattered and fell off.

At this point, Cao Er felt extremely uneasy, cautiously looking at Xiao Yu, afraid that he would break his word and kill him. Therefore, he did not feel the talisman shattering on his neck.

"G-good man, now that the money has been transferred, can you let me go" Shaking with fear, Cao Er said pitifully.

"Hmph, since you're so reliable, how could I possibly break my word"

Looking at the trembling Cao Er in front of him, Xiao Yu's lips curled into a slight smile as he spoke.

"Thank...thank you for sparing me!" Cao Er said gratefully with a look full of gratitude on his face.

However, Xiao Yu could still see hatred and murderous intent in his eyes.

Xiao Yu didn't care about these feelings. The premise for him to kill Xiao Yu is that he can survive; naturally, since Xiao Yu promised not to kill Cao Er, he wouldn't personally take action. There were still vengeful ghosts waiting inside the boiler room for their revenge!

Since Cao Er was knocked unconscious by Xiao Yu's aura and intent of killing, seeing him so weak made Xiao Yu immediately think this way.

In the past, even fierce individuals like the scar-faced man in the boiler room couldn't stop these vengeful ghosts; how could such a cowardly person as Cao Er

Since Xiao Yu had already broken Cao Er's talisman, those vengeful ghosts would now be able to take their revenge without restraint. Only by avenging themselves can they dissipate the resentment on them and enter the underworld.
