“Pfft ?You’re threatening me now?” Huang Xiaolong wanted to burst out laughing. “Alright, if you’ve got any tricks up your sleeve, bring them out…Hehe, I want to watch you crumble into despair.”
Suddenly!
Master Zhou moved quickly, charging toward a corner of the third floor, where a cupboard was located. He swiftly opened it.
“Little Long…this maniac…what the hell is he planning?” Cui Feiyan, huddling behind Huang Xiaolong, asked with a worried expression on her pretty face.
In fact, Huang Xiaolong could have obliterated Master Zhou in an instant, but he chose not to.
It was not easy to encounter someone who had some understanding of Taoist magic. Like a cat playing with a rat, he decided to toy with him until he died…
For entertainment!
Quickly, Master Zhou rummaged through the cupboard and produced an item which he held in his hands.
It was an old jar, covered with yellow paper talismans!
“You little bastard! Your time has come! I want you dead! I want you dead!” Master Zhou howled, looking like an injured beast.
“Little Long, what… what is that?” Cui Feiyan asked in alarm.
“Oh, that’s a corpse storage jar,” Huang Xiaolong said with a dismissive smile. “Those jars, if my guess is correct, date back to the Qing Dynasty. Back then, rulers used them to instill fear among the citizens. They chopped up the bodies of criminals and stored them in these jars, along with decomposing powder to turn them into a liquid. The jar is quite eerie and full of Yin energy. If an ordinary person ignorant of these things were to keep such a jar at home, they might fall sick and die over time. Eventually, some people began using these jars to raise ghosts, and it is said that the results were not bad…”
“Ha, ha, ha, little bastard, you sure know a lot! This is the magic artifact gifted to me by my master! You’re doomed! Die!” Master Zhou laughed viciously and swiftly opened the lid of the corpse storage jar!
Boom
A surge of horrifying corpse energy abruptly burst out!
A violent gale seemed to spring up from nowhere, wreaking chaos like a tornado.
Countless malevolent spirits were set free from the jar, all of them with puppet talismans attached to their ghostly bodies.
Apparitions robed in red cloaks, their vicious resentment mists formed an eerie blood fog as they erupted from their ghostly bodies.
“Hehehe ?Go! Slay this pair of riffraff! Slay them! Slay them! Slay them!” On Master Zhou’s broken face, a blazing pleasure appeared – the pleasure of revenge!
Whiz Whiz Whiz
A host of red-robed ghosts charged menacingly towards Huang Xiaolong.
Cui Feiyan turned ashen and screamed.
Huang Xiaolong casually pulled out his own soul container and promptly opened the lid!
Streams of black energy shot out like arrows!
The black energy started to entwine each of the red-robed ghosts.
Then—
Crunch Crunch Crunch
The hair-raising sound of chomping could be heard!
“Ah ?! Don’t eat us!”
The wicked red-robed ghosts were bitten and devoured by the black energy!
“Ah ?Tastes so good! Sir, it’s so tasty! So delicious!”
“Sir, your generosity… is truly an honor for us…”
“Sir, my strength, it has broken through again! Hahaha!”
From within the murky black energy, numerous chilling voices resonated, making one’s skin crawl.
“Alright, now that you’ve all fed, come back.” Huang Xiaolong grinned, drawing back all the black energy into the soul container.
“By the way, thanks. Hahaha ?Keeping ghosts? I started doing that when I was seven…I got tired of playing with them! Hahaha ” Huang Xiaolong’s laughter was filled with ridicule and sarcasm.
Master Zhou’s face turned pale green!
Dammit, the red-robed ghosts he had painstakingly reared, his major source of evil deeds, had been devoured by the ghosts kept by Huang Xiaolong!
He had totally catered to Huang Xiaolong’s liking!
A total loss!
Now, Master Zhou was at a total loss! His years of painstaking efforts had gone up in smoke!
“Alright, if you have any more tricks up your sleeve, use them now.” Huang Xiaolong began to grow impatient.
“Damn it… you… you little bastard, don’t be so smug! Your demise is still imminent! You can’t beat me!” Master Zhou cursed through gritted teeth.
The next moment!
Whoosh
Master Zhou set down the corpse storage jar and tore his clothes to shreds!
His upper body, completely bare, was on show!
On his chest and abdomen, there was a large talisman. Faint waves of mana were circulating around it, creating a brilliant spectacle!
“Hehehe ?You little bastard, you forced me to use my ultimate move! This time! Your death is going to be very harsh!” Master Zhou’s eyes flashed with a hint of reluctance, but it was quickly drowned by a surge of intense hatred and killing intent!
He formed hand seals and chanted incantations, and strange waves of mana radiated from him.
“Little Long…what the hell is he doing?” Cui Feiyan asked with a shaky voice.
“Oh… it’s nothing. Someone has drawn a ‘summoning talisman’ on him…” Huang Xiaolong replied, bored. “The ‘summoning talisman’, judging by the mana level, should be able to summon the most powerful ghost within a two-hundred-kilometer radius to assist him in battle. However, it’s a single-use talisman. Once a ghost has been summoned, the talisman will become invalid.”
“Is it… that powerful?” Cui Feiyan’s eyes widened in shock.
“Um… Feiyan, that’s not a big deal.” Huang Xiaolong made a face. “Well, let’s just wait and see what level of ghost he can summon…”
The next moment!
Above Master Zhou’s head, a mud-like shadow appeared, rolling and emitting a dangerous and ominous hostility. Amidst this miasma were horrific growls!
It was as if some diabolically fierce creature was about to descend!
The temperature in the shop also suddenly dropped drastically!
“Little Long…this is… very… very terrifying…” Cui Feiyan, overwhelmed by a primal fear, snuggled up to Huang Xiaolong, shivering.
“Hehehe… how boring. I got summoned… to this place…”
A chilly, feminine voice echoed.
This voice was teeming with malice.
Any ordinary person who heard this voice would probably have their soul freeze, burst out and die instantly!
Cui Feiyan was unharmed because of Huang Xiaolong, who stood by her side. His strong, explosive Yang energy protected her.
Finally!
From the shadow filled with dense Yin energy, a purple-cloaked ghost descended!
It was a female ghost!
Cloaked in billowing purple, her hair eerily coiled around by itself.
Her appearance wasn’t frightening at all; she looked just like a human!
She didn’t look like a ghost!
Instead, she resembled a fairy who had stepped straight out of a painting!
Beauty!
The purple-cloaked ghost was extraordinarily enchanting and stunning!
Her eyes as limpid as autumn water, her complexion as smooth as jade,
Her face as fresh as a lotus, her eyebrows as graceful as willow leaves.
The spring breeze makes a thousand trees bloom,
But none can compare to her radiant charm.
