came, he said he was coming to Zhonghai to look around. Whether or not he could find medicinal herbs for a cure, he himself couldn't determine it either.They had already visited many hospitals and se...Chapter 84 Fierce Battle
Darn, the computer broke down but has just been fixed. I'll upload a chapter now and get back to writing.
The black-clad ghost and the hideous old ghost suddenly turned around with sinister glances fixed on Xiao Yu.
"Hahaha... This City God was planning to have you for dinner later, but since you want to die sooner, I'll oblige!" The hideous old ghost laughed wildly and madly at Xiao Yu before saying in a vicious tone.
The hideous old ghost and the black-clad ghost had fought countless times over this girl without any success. Yet he still couldn’t find a way out. This time, seeing that the origin of the black-clad ghost was weakened, not only did it give him hope to take away the girl, but also an opportunity to seize control of the earth temple.
At this moment, the black-clad ghost knew they were not allies; earlier underground, he had felt Xiao Yu’s threat and had already unleashed his origin once in a bid to scare him off, but it was unsuccessful. Just now, he had done so again hoping to frighten Xiao Yu, yet Xiao Yu remained unaffected. This made him very uncomfortable and somewhat fearful. At present, he had no fighting power left; if he were to unleash his origin one more time, he would probably fall into a deep sleep. Then wouldn’t all the ghosts under his protection become prey for that old ghost
He cursed the damn developers. Originally, there was an earth temple on top of what had been the foundation trench. But with land in Beijing skyrocketing, who cared about an earth temple as small as a single room Nobody would consider it cultural heritage either; it got torn down without much ado. After its demolition, this place’s ability to attract yin煞qi (negative energy) was discovered by that old ghost.
Since discovering this location's characteristics, the old ghost has come here every so often for a fight with him. Several months ago during their fierce battle, he accidentally blew off a brick while unleashing his origin which happened to hit Wan Jiayi walking past here. He never would have thought that her soul would catch the eye of the old ghost who insisted on marrying her soul as his wife.
Manjiaoyi was originally injured by herself, and even if it wasn’t self-inflicted injury, looking at the old ghost’s bloody aura, as long as he was on my turf, I wouldn't let this old ghost take Manjiaoyi away. As long as a ghost doesn’t recklessly harm people and is within my territory, I will protect them.
These past half a year or so, the old ghost has come here more than ten times. Because of my previous injuries which haven't healed yet, I can’t defeat this old ghost, all I could do was unleash my origin energy to scare him off. Although my origin energy is different from other ghosts’, it can only be unleashed twice a day; after that, I would fall into a long slumber whose duration I wouldn’t know.
When Xiao Yu first arrived, I thought he was the old ghost's accomplice come to deal with me. My origin energy hadn't recovered from its last release and my body had no fighting strength at all, but in order to scare off Xiao Yu, I unleashed it two more times. Unexpectedly, the two weren’t on the same side after all, yet no matter whether they were or not, taking Manjiaoyi away under my watch was impossible.
Now, this black-clothed ghost just hopes that they don't see through his true nature; maybe he could even scare them off.
"Haha, eat me" Hearing the ugly old ghost's words, Xiao Yu burst into laughter and said.
Then he looked at this old ghost covered in bloody aura. His eyes turned icy cold, devoid of any emotion, staring at the ugly old ghost as if he was looking at a dead object.
The ugly old ghost saw the cold and merciless gaze in Xiao Yu’s eyes, and involuntarily felt a sense of panic rise within him, even contemplating retreat.
The ugly old ghost felt an inkling of fear arise in his heart. He couldn’t help but be annoyed with himself; gritting his teeth, he suppressed that feeling deep down inside, then a grimace appeared on his face as he stared at Xiao Yu: “Gag... Kid, being eaten by this City God is your good fortune..." Saying so, he swooped down from the air towards Xiao Yu, two greenish-yellow beams of light emanating from his eyes.
Seeing the old ghost charging over, Xiao Yu quickly stepped back and took out a Zhenxie charm from his bag to throw at the old ghost. “Boom!” The old ghost collided with the charm; in the midst of a muffled sound, the charm burst into flames, within which a golden light flashed past and shot towards the old ghost.
"Ahhh..." The old ghost, hit by the talisman, let out a miserable scream. His clothes and hair were charred black by the talisman, but under Xiao Yu's Yin-Yang Life-Death gaze, it was discovered that the ugly old ghost's essence had not suffered much damage. This talisman merely made his appearance somewhat disheveled.
The ugly old ghost, having served as the City God in this area for several decades, had never endured such suffering. With a sinister glare at Xiao Yu, he said, "Kid, you've angered your City God master. Whether you are from Maoshan or Longhushan, once you anger me, there's only one way out: death."
"Your talisman is impressive, but it can't hurt your City God master!" After saying this, the ugly old ghost pounced towards Xiao Yu again.
"Crash..." The old ghost who lunged forward seemed to have hit a wall and was sent flying back. It turned out that Xiao Yu had somehow already taken a spirit-repelling talisman in hand.
Seeing the ugly old ghost fly back without suffering much damage, Xiao Yu couldn't help but show surprise. Although this talisman blocked the old ghost's attack, it could originally last for three months but was now destroyed in an instant.
The black-clothed ghost watched the intense battle between the old ghost and Xiao Yu with a sense of delight in his heart, hoping that they would fight each other to mutual destruction. Otherwise, judging by their appearances, he wouldn't be able to defeat either one given his current state.
The fierce struggle stirred up surges of thick yin煞 energy in the air and blew the little ghosts everywhere; they cried out miserably as they were blown around. The black-clothed ghost hurriedly pulled them out and made them hide far away.
Wan Jiayi, having become a ghost since her death, had received considerable care from the black-clothed ghost in this place. Seeing the two people fighting each other who both wanted to take her with them, she was very afraid and hid behind the black-clothed ghost all the time, her eyes filled with fear.
Xiao Yu's battle with the ugly old ghost became increasingly intense; Xiao Yu had used up all his talismans, but they hadn't caused much substantial damage to the ugly old ghost.
"Gag... brat, come on! Keep going! Don't you have any talismans left" The ugly old ghost laughed weirdly when he saw that Xiao Yu was dodging his attacks but couldn't produce more talismans.
Saying this, the old ghost suddenly lunged at Xiao Yu from midair. Seeing the old ghost coming at him, a glint flashed in Xiao Yu's eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled into a mocking smile.
As the old ghost was lunging towards Xiao Yu, he suddenly noticed Xiao Yu’s mocking expression. He inwardly cursed as he tried to stop his body from diving down further, but it was too late. Xiao Yu had pulled out a large brush from behind and started dancing it lightly in mid-air toward the old ghost. With each dance of the brush, thin golden rays appeared in the air, forming a huge character 'Zhu' (Extermination) flying straight towards the old ghost.
"Ah... *gasp*... *gasp*..."
As soon as the golden rays hit the old ghost, he let out a miserable scream. Then, wherever his body touched the rays, dark smoke started rising up from those spots. In pain, the old ghost was rolling on the ground and screaming: "You forced me to do this! You forced me to do this..."
Xiao Yu leaned against an abandoned piece of equipment next to him, panting as he watched the howling old ghost. The previous strike had drained all the Essence Qi he had painstakingly cultivated recently.
The black-clothed ghost saw Xiao Yu揮舞毛筆時閃現的金光，心中狂跳：“不可能...不可能……”
突然，地上嚎叫的老鬼氣勢猛然增強。在蕭煜陰陽生死眼下，老鬼本源持續消散，而氣勢卻暴漲。蕭煜心頭一陣驚駭，這老鬼竟然爆掉本源？
"Gag gag... even if I die, you’ll be buried with me too…. Gag gag gag..." The ugly old ghost raved crazily as his aura grew stronger bit by bit.his matter gradually faded from his mind. With his thoughts preoccupied by the soon-to-be-acquired blue and white porcelain vase, he hadn't paid much attention to details at the time. Only now had he...
