Ch 203: It Works Again
Without a moment’s hesitation, Qie Man broke free from the shackles…
Zhao Xinde fainted on the ground.
Instead, a small old man with purple skin, hunched over, floated in the air.
Seeing Qie Man reveal his true form, the Giant Tooth Ghost instantly stopped its attack, breaking out in a cold sweat.
Sensing the danger, the Giant Tooth Ghost subconsciously took a few steps back.
But Zhu Zhu’s allure to the Giant Tooth Ghost was immense.
As long as he swallowed her whole body, then the Giant Tooth Ghost’s strength would surely experience another surge!
“Seeing this old man, why don’t you leave quickly?”
“If you want this old man to make a move, in this old man’s hands, you won’t last 10 rounds.”
Qie Man stroked his beard, said from on high.
He hung in the air, his powerful Ghost Qi overflowing, full of style.
“Don’t think I’m afraid of you!”
Although the Giant Tooth Ghost was apprehensive in its heart, it was still very unwilling. With a clap of its giant palm, a sharp claw strike slashed over!
“Heh, you really don’t know your place, little ghost!”
Qie Man sneered, raising his hand to summon a wall of mist to block the claw mark.
Then, he closed two fingers together, pointed towards the Giant Tooth Ghost, and the poison mist condensed into a sharp spear that shot out.
The Giant Tooth Ghost was immediately shocked and dismayed, crossing its arms into a cross to resist.
However, the poison spear easily pierced the Giant Tooth Ghost’s arm and struck its chest.
Instantly, the Giant Tooth Ghost felt a burning pain all over its body!
It’s Ghost Poison!
Qie Man stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes cold, calmly said:
“You and this old man, are both at the Ghost King Stage, according to human terms, we both belong to the King-Level Ghost ranks.”
“But the gap between you and this old man is like a huge chasm, even if you are promoted to King-Level, you cannot erase it.”
“This old man is one of the Ancient Nine Ghosts, the Poison Ghost Qie Man, little ghost, have you ever heard of this old man’s name?”
“Kneel, submit to this old man, and I will spare your life.”
Showing off in front of the little ghost, Qie Man regained his confidence.
He could be submissive in front of Zhang Buran, but in front of a little ghost, could he act tough?
“Impossible! Impossible! I’ve clearly become so much stronger!”
“Qie Man, this is no longer the old era where you Nine Ghosts ran rampant!”
“The old era is a thing of the past, merely lingering on! Am I afraid of you?!”
The Giant Tooth Ghost gritted its teeth, opened its bloody mouth, and gathered its Ghost Qi, producing an energy ball in front of its mouth.
“Truly pathetic.”
Qie Man shook his head and said:
“This old man is indeed a product of the old era, and indeed weaker, no longer at my former peak.”
“However, even if this old man has weakened, it doesn’t mean you’ve become stronger.”
“World Devouring Demon Demise.”
As Qie Man lightly raised his palm, the green poison mist in his palm began to condense and concentrate.
Soon, it transformed into a thick purple gas-liquid mixture of poison mist.
The purple poison mist condensed into a steel needle the thickness of a thumb and shot out.
Instantly piercing the Giant Tooth Ghost’s condensed energy ball and piercing its body.
“This… how… possible? This little poison… how… how could I… how could I not withstand it…”
The Giant Tooth Ghost finally began to panic, its huge body began to disintegrate, cracking like stone.
“My World Devouring Demon Demise is the number one poison in the world, it can corrode anything, even your Ghost Qi.”
“This old man gave you a chance, but you didn’t cherish it.”
Qie Man stood with his hands behind his back, quietly watching the Giant Tooth Ghost’s body collapse and disintegrate, his expression so calm, as if everything was expected.
“Ah! I’m not reconciled!”
“Why… would I… lose…”
The Giant Tooth Ghost roared out its last bit of strength before completely vanishing into ashes.
However, it was still a King-Level Ghost after all, after the Giant Tooth Ghost’s death, a large amount of Ghost Qi uncontrollably scattered.
Might as well absorb it.
Qie Man naturally did not miss this opportunity, and began to absorb the Ghost Qi transformed after the Giant Tooth Ghost’s death.
Mmm~~
Ninety-nine percent purity, a rare item.
Qie Man hadn’t absorbed such high-quality Ghost Qi in a long time.
After absorbing his fill, Qie Man felt his strength had recovered to 80-90% of its peak!
He felt like he could do it again.
1v1 solo, Qie Man felt he wasn’t afraid of anyone now.
It even gave him the illusion that he could fight Zhang Buran one-on-one again…
“Boom!”
At this time, a purple lightning bolt flashed across the dark sky, the thunderous light illuminating the entire sky, and in the clouds, a huge, thick dragon body coiled in the air…
“Roar!”
“Boom!”
The dragon roar and thunderclap intertwined, causing both humans and ghosts to be terrified.
Qie Man wilted again…
……
In the sky, when the Jiao dragon Wuji flew in the sky, Zhang Buran sensed that something was amiss.
Feeling it fly into the air, he wanted to find Hu Lan’s figure.
“Roar!”
But at this moment, Wuji was extremely furious, and when it saw Zhang Buran, it pounced over, opening its huge dragon mouth and spitting out an icy dragon breath!
The biting cold Qi instantly covered the surroundings with a layer of cold mist, and the temperature plummeted to below zero!
“Boom!”
Zhang Buran had no choice but to blast out a purple lightning bolt.
However, the purple lightning that could easily shatter General-Level Ghosts, when it struck Wuji, only made it feel a little sore.
“Roar!”
Wuji, in pain, turned its dragon body, and its tail swung like a heavy whip.
“Boom!”
Zhang Buran blasted out another thunderclap.
This time, he didn’t deliberately reduce the power of the thunderbolt.
The purple lightning was like a thin knife, the thunderous light sweeping down from top to bottom!
Dragon scales harder than iron were scattered everywhere, and Wuji’s tail was severed.
Because Wuji was a Shikigami, there was no scene of flesh and blood flying, the severed dragon tail only turned into black light points and dissipated…
“Roar!”
The injured Wuji glared with its blood-red dragon eyes, extremely furious, accumulating power in its mouth, and its icy breath that seemed to be able to freeze everything spewed out!
Where the cold Qi reached, it quickly condensed all the water vapor into large ice shards…
Zhang Buran didn’t dodge at all, his Thunder Method protecting his body, the purple electric arcs intertwined to form an indestructible barrier, deflecting the biting cold Qi and ice shards.
Wuji’s icy breath lasted for a full half minute before finally stopping.
In the sky, within a radius of hundreds of meters, piles of hailstones “pattering” down, it was hailing.
In the blue-white mist, a flash of purple lightning was particularly eye-catching, setting off a figure faintly.
Seeing that Zhang Buran was unharmed, Wuji still refused to give up, roaring angrily and pouncing over.
Facing the behemoth in front of him, Zhang Buran lightly waved his hand, his fingertips pointing in all directions, shooting out a few strands of lightning like thin snakes.
Instantly, thunderclouds rolled in all directions.
In the thunderclouds, countless lightning bolts shot out, like chains binding Wuji’s dragon body.
“Roar! Roar——!”
Wuji was unwilling, twisting its body and struggling, but the more it struggled, the greater the power of the lightning, electrocuting its dragon scales, causing a “sizzling” sound.
“Beast, I don’t want to kill you.”
Zhang Buran flew to the top of Wuji’s dragon head, looking at the behemoth below, he couldn’t help but be shocked for a moment.
Just the dragon head alone was probably at least 50 meters long.
The dragon body was more than a kilometer long!
The ink-colored dragon scales gleamed, able to withstand purple lightning that wasn’t at full power, it was probably harder than titanium alloy.
“Roar!”
Among the Twelve Zodiac Shikigami, the dragon is indeed the most destructive!
Dragons, in the East, have always been mysterious.
Among the twelve zodiac animals, many people have never seen a dragon, believing it to be a fictional mythological creature.
Even Daoists may not have seen a real dragon.
Even Zhang Buran didn’t know if, in the thousands of years of the vast China, a creature like a dragon had ever truly existed.
Even the black dragon Wuji in front of him was only a dragon-shaped Shikigami created by its creator based on the appearance of a dragon.
“Where is Hu Loulan?” Zhang Buran asked.
But what responded to Zhang Buran was only Wuji’s angry roar.
Zhang Buran knew that asking a dragon that couldn’t speak wouldn’t get him anywhere, and he didn’t know what Wuji was thinking.
However, letting Wuji appear so recklessly in public was certainly not okay.
“Roar!”
Suddenly, Wuji struggled even more violently, its gaze glancing towards the sea.
As if something was summoning it.
“Is Hu Loulan summoning you?”
“Fine.”
Zhang Buran released the lightning’s restraint on Wuji.
Wuji quickly shrunk to the size of a python and quickly darted into the sea.
Zhang Buran originally wanted to go into the sea to take a look as well.
But thinking that dozens of ghosts had gone towards the restaurant just now, Zhang Buran was worried about the safety of the ordinary people.
Let’s go and check on the ordinary people in the restaurant first.
The moment he saw Wuji reveal its giant dragon form, Zhang Buran dealt with it first.
Because he was afraid that this irritable giant dragon would lose control and cause irreparable harm, he didn’t go to protect the ordinary people immediately.
Zhang Buran teleported back to the restaurant.
What met his eyes was a scene of devastation, tables and chairs scattered, walls damaged, the originally lively restaurant was empty, there wasn’t a single person within sight.
In the damaged restaurant, there were two different powerful Ghost Qi remnants, clearly indicating that a great battle had taken place here.
And it was a battle between two ghosts.
Zhang Buran was very familiar with one of the Ghost Qi, it was Qie Man’s.
Could it be that Qie Man stepped forward at a critical moment and protected the ordinary people from the evil ghosts?
Well, a promising young man.
Zhang Buran wasn’t like those rigid and stubborn old fogies who believed that all ghosts should be killed.
Ghosts who do good deeds can also be spared.
In that case, if the ghosts in the world didn’t harm humans, humans and ghosts could also coexist peacefully.
Perhaps, Bei Mingjie wanted to create such a world?
However, no conflict between humans and ghosts is too idealistic.
Zhang Buran could perceive that Qie Man and the Li siblings were just outside the restaurant, so he teleported towards them.
……
“Who are you? Are you a ghost?”
Li Jintong looked at the small old man with green skin and white hair in front of her and curiously asked.
“This old man is an Ancient Ghost King.”
Qie Man slowly stroked his beard, in front of ordinary people, he still had to maintain his composure.
“Little girl, you’re quite brave. You’re the first ordinary person who isn’t afraid when they see this old man.”
Facing the strangely-looking Qie Man, the brave Li Jintong wasn’t afraid at all, but instead was incredibly excited: “Old grandpa, your move just now was so cool! What’s its name? Can you teach me?”
Faced with Li Jintong’s praise, Qie Man straightened his back.
“This is the poison skill that this old man has refined for a thousand years——World Devouring Demon Demise. It can corrode all things in the world, a tiny drop can poison tens of thousands of cattle.”
Because he wanted to show off, Qie Man condensed a drop of purple World Devouring Demon Demise in his palm.
“So powerful, can I learn it?”
Li Jintong’s eyes lit up, full of longing.
Qie Man’s arrogant gaze looked Li Jintong up and down, sneering.
“Heh, little girl, this one drop, your frail body can’t withstand it, let alone learning it?”
“Even for this old man to develop it, it took hundreds of years to barely master it.”
Li Jintong didn’t get discouraged after hearing this, but became even more excited and curious.
“Old grandpa, you’re so amazing!”
“By the way, old grandpa, since you’re a ghost, do you know a Daoist named Zhang Buran?”
“Compared to the Daoist, who’s stronger?”
