Chapter 106
It’s a world of right and wrong, clear as day.
The world is not a sea of suffering, three feet above, the ghosts and gods bear witness.
As An Wensheng flipped the token in his hand, his form grew larger, as if stained with ink. The originally somewhat unclear characters suddenly became completely clear. Under Xiang Jiannan’s gaze, they quickly transformed into four streams of black Qi, like swimming dragons, flying directly towards the Ghost King in front.
The Ghost King quickened his pace, leaping into the air, and with a mighty chop, his great blade grew several zhang long against the wind.
“An inch longer, an inch stronger. My weapon should directly take the little Taoist’s head.”
The voice that fell from the sky was like a death warrant. Looking at the Guan Yu blade that was instantly above his head, Xiang Jiannan had something he didn’t know whether to say or not.
So that’s how “ghostly lies” can be used. He was flattered, almost getting split in two.
“Dodge!”
With only the cold gleam of the blade in his eyes, Xiang Jiannan stood rooted to the spot, forgetting to move for a moment, until An Wensheng forcibly pulled him away. Only then did his three souls and six spirits return, and he became fully conscious again.
What a shameless strike. His heart almost jumped straight out of his throat.
“You Taoist, are you even capable!”
Having to look after Xiang Jiannan in such a situation, pulling him away from the blade, An Wensheng was naturally somewhat dissatisfied.
At this moment, he was using the four streams of black Qi to contend with the Ghost King. Because of his distraction, he almost allowed the Ghost King to pull back his great blade for a second round of attack.
Before the great blade could fully descend, the four streams of black Qi had already entangled it. That previous strike, no matter what, could not have hit the little Taoist.
At most, it was a false alarm.
Daring to fight the Ghost King, An Wensheng had this much confidence. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have dragged Xiang Jiannan here. Safety first.
It’s just that this little Taoist would occasionally fall into a daze. This point made himself, as a teammate, very anxious. At a critical moment of life and death, could he be a little more normal?
“What do you think?”
An Wensheng’s words made him feel embarrassed. Xiang Jiannan adjusted his state, feeling guilty. He saw that the falling great blade had been suppressed. On the other side, the Ghost King was using both hands to try to pull it back.
The black Qi transformed from the four lines of text was now completely wrapped around the blade. Some of it seemed to have taken root in the ground. No matter what method the Ghost King used, the Guan Yu blade was like it was stuck to the ground, unable to move even an inch.
“My weapon should only be the size of a palm.”
Seeing that the enlarged great blade could not be retracted, the Ghost King, who had been struggling with the black Qi for a long time, suddenly spoke again. As soon as he spoke, he forced Xiang Jiannan to immediately take action. His movements were swift, summoning as much green Qi as possible, and then sending it all out at once.
He wants to use ghostly lies again. I, Xiang Jiannan, cannot allow you to cheat again.
He didn’t know what effect the Ghost King’s words would have. If it became the size of a palm, would it be able to break free from the black Qi’s suppression, and then enlarge again, chasing this Taoist up and down?
You’re such a clever little ghost!
Bang bang bang!
As soon as the Ghost King’s voice fell, he arrived in front of him. After a few puffs of smoke, Xiang Jiannan’s eyes were filled with helplessness.
The green Qi he sent out did produce a substantial effect, but it didn’t hit the original target. This result shouldn’t be related to him. Who would have thought that the ghostly lies would actually have a delay?
Just as the green Qi was about to hit the Ghost King, he unexpectedly fell down, suddenly lying on the ground. At that moment, he felt that the green Qi also seemed to be startled, hesitating for a moment, until the Ghost King was completely down before continuing to move forward.
Then, losing its target, it all crashed into the artificial mountain in the courtyard.
“I was clearly aiming at the Ghost King.”
Missing several times, his tone was puzzled. Xiang Jiannan sounded more like he was talking to himself.
He believed that he was already very skilled in using green Qi. Although sometimes its power was not enough, he had never encountered this situation before. Logically speaking, as long as he had determined the target in his heart, the green Qi he sent out would definitely track it relentlessly.
The Ghost King didn’t make any blocking movements, but inexplicably escaped from under the green Qi’s nose.
The matter was very strange. Could it be that the previous experiences were actually just coincidences?
“When rules meet, the stronger one takes priority.”
As if explaining what Xiang Jiannan had said, An Wensheng’s figure had already begun to move forward. In a few steps, he walked to the Ghost King’s side, the token in his hand flipping again.
“By the decree of this City God, all cultivation in this world shall return!”
“A mere City God, daring to speak such arrogant words!”
Not understanding why An Wensheng wanted to approach the Ghost King and say such a sentence, when the token in his hand emitted a glimmer of light, Xiang Jiannan thought that the battle was about to end. Who knew that before he could take his second step, he saw the Ghost King, who was lying on the ground, suddenly get up, and then kick An Wensheng directly in the abdomen.
Afterwards, the armor on his body shattered, revealing a body that was all bones inside.
“My fists can shatter rocks, and before killing an enemy, there should be fine wine to accompany me.”
“Heaven can endure it, but this City God cannot!”
Kicked by the Ghost King, An Wensheng’s body flew like a piece of paper. After Xiang Jiannan helped him up, An Wensheng gritted his teeth, vowing to never let it go.
He was embarrassed to tell the little Taoist why he did that just now, because City Gods also have vanity.
He had wanted to change his image in front of Xiang Jiannan, but who would have thought that the Ghost King wouldn’t give him any face. He couldn’t say this kind of thing even if he was beaten to death. He couldn’t establish his image, so he could only swallow the bitterness alone.
“Drinking is not allowed here. This City God’s golden body is far superior to stubborn rocks!”
The wine cup he had just drained was still in his hand. Looking at the Ghost King, who seemed to want to engage them in hand-to-hand combat, An Wensheng immediately said a sentence. However, it was useless. When he summoned the token again and charged towards the Ghost King, a beating immediately followed.
An Wensheng was beaten to the point where he had no power to resist. When he fell from the sky again, he said with resentment:
“This City God must personally eat him. Little Taoist, watch my eyes and act accordingly later.”
What eyes are there to watch?
Without saying much, he immediately faced the Ghost King. Xiang Jiannan felt that he had understood some things.
This Ghost King’s “ghostly lies” are very interesting. In the current situation, he had to try it. He hoped he wouldn’t be like An Wensheng, quickly defeated.
Shua shua shua shua!
Raising his hand, he first sent out a few talisman papers. When the Ghost King swung his fist to smash at him, Xiang Jiannan dodged quickly.
These few talisman papers were used to distract the Ghost King. He had great confidence in them.
The talisman papers were the ones he had drawn in the temple before. The reason he didn’t use his master’s was because he was poor. At this moment, he couldn’t gamble. Compared to the talisman papers made by his master, those few fire talismans were definitely more trustworthy.
Through his occasional practice, the effectiveness of the talisman papers had improved several levels. When he released them, he could feel the connection between himself and them.
Zzz zzz~~~
The fist collided with a talisman paper, and a ball of fire burst out. The effect that Xiang Jiannan had in mind appeared at the right time. He saw that the Ghost King’s attack had instantly weakened. One hand seemed to be in pain and wanted to retract. He immediately summoned a large amount of green Qi and hit his waist.
This time, he easily succeeded. With just one blow, the Ghost King’s body was dented.
