Ch 202: Qie Man Takes Action

“Get lost, you monster! Don’t hurt my younger sister!”

Facing the Giant Ghost, Li Rongbing stepped forward, selflessly blocking Li Sino.

To say he wasn’t afraid would be a lie.

However, at this juncture, as a man, Li Rongbing could only step forward.

Li Jintong’s courage was also surprisingly great, and together with Li Rongbing, she stood in front of Li Sino, viciously saying, “Get lost! You ugly monster!”

“Brave indeed! Hehehe!”

The Giant Ghost let out a ferocious, grotesque laugh in a rough voice.

The next second, the Giant Ghost instantly rushed to the few people, slapping Li Rongbing and Li Sino away, grabbing Li Sino.

“Let’s start with you! Hehehe!”

Li Jintong’s face was pale, speechless with fear, despairingly closing her eyes…

“Sino!”

Li Rongbing was heartbroken…

“Bang!”

Suddenly, a golden light erupted from Li Sino, repelling the Giant Ghost’s massive body!

Li Sino fell from the air, landing on the ground, spraining her ankle, but without life-threatening injuries.

In Li Sino’s pocket, a talisman turned to ashes, having been used up in the explosion.

“This is… the talisman Zhang Buran gave me!”

Li Rongbing remembered; he had always asked Li Sino to keep the talisman close to her.

Now, it had actually proven miraculous!

But the Giant Ghost wasn’t killed by the explosion.

“This is… a talisman! You, you have the talismans of those stinking Daoists!”

“Aaaaaah! I will kill you!”

The Giant Ghost struggled to stand up, its partially recovered arm blown away again, and a small portion of its body also blown away.

This further enraged the Giant Ghost, and it roared, charging towards Li Sino, squeezing her small body in its palm!

As if with a little force, it could crush her!

“Wait!”

At this time, a woman’s voice came.

The Giant Ghost turned its head and saw Zhu Zhu, wearing chef’s clothing, with a grave expression.

“You are a Daoist! Don’t think I’m afraid of you! I… I hate Daoists the most!”

“It’s you, you murderous cunning Daoists, who used ordinary people to lure me out, capture me, and almost made me the soul’s nourishment!”

The Giant Ghost became even more hysterical, its fangs and claws growing wildly, its body expanding visibly by double, becoming even larger, like a small mountain.

“Don’t hurt my guest.”

Although Zhu Zhu was completely bewildered, she wasn’t afraid, she could only try to calm the Giant Ghost for now.

Zhu Zhu must protect the guests who appreciate her delicacies…

“My Magical Power, you can absorb it.”

“I believe you should be very interested in my Magical Power.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhu Zhu stopped concealing her Magical Power, and a strong Magical Power Aura emanated from her body.

“This Magical Power… smells so good!”

“If I hadn’t been attracted by this Magical Power back then, I wouldn’t have appeared, I wouldn’t have been careless, and I wouldn’t have been captured by that Daoist!”

After smelling it, the Giant Ghost couldn’t help but lick its lips, its eyes full of greed.

“Woman, you’re smart!”

The Giant Ghost threw Li Sino away, and without a word, greedily began absorbing Zhu Zhu’s Magical Power!

Zhu Zhu’s Magical Power was to ghosts like heroin to addicts, with a fatal allure!

The Giant Ghost’s arm rapidly regenerated, all the missing parts of its body rapidly healed, and its Ghost Qi surged!

“Hahaha! My strength has returned to its peak, even surpassing it!”

“Woman! Your Magical Power, it makes me unable to stop!”

“Hahahaha! You should be the food of us ghosts!”

The next moment, the laughing Giant Ghost teleported to Zhu Zhu.

With lightning speed, the Giant Ghost tore off one of Zhu Zhu’s arms and swallowed it without hesitation.

Intense pain came, Zhu Zhu gritted her teeth without making a sound, hurriedly using her Spiritual Power to stop the bleeding.

“Hahahaha! Woman, your Magical Power is so delicious, it makes me even stronger!”

“What! I’m about to break through! One of your arms actually contains such powerful Magical Power! Hahahaha!”

The Giant Ghost laughed loudly, unrestrained.

Because the Giant Ghost felt that its strength had not only returned to its peak, but had also reached a bottleneck, which meant… it was about to break through from General-Level to King-Level!

The Giant Ghost was extremely excited; it hadn’t broken through to King-Level for hundreds of years, lacking the opportunity.

As a result, now, just because it ate Zhu Zhu’s arm and absorbed the powerful Magical Power contained within it, it was about to break through!

It was simply unbelievable!

“If I eat another one of your arms, I can definitely break through to the Ghost King Stage!”

Greed flashed in the Giant Ghost’s eyes, and it extended its devilish claws towards Zhu Zhu.

Zhu Zhu endured the intense pain, her face pale.

Obviously, losing an arm had made it very difficult for her to support herself.

Unfortunately, Zhu Zhu didn’t have any offensive Magic… Otherwise, even if the odds were slim, Zhu Zhu would have fought back.

But Zhu Zhu’s innate special Magical Power meant she couldn’t use Attack Magic.

Forget slim odds, it was simply impossible to defeat this General-Level peak Giant Ghost…

“Poison Mist!”

At this time, a roar came.

Around the Giant Ghost, green Poison Mist instantly filled the air.

The Giant Ghost’s pupils trembled, before it could react, the Poison Mist formed a cage, trapping it inside.

“Who is it!”

The Giant Ghost punched with all its might, hitting the seemingly ethereal Poison Mist cage.

But it only dispersed the Poison Mist, which quickly recombined.

The Giant Ghost’s fist also retracted; its fist was corroded by the Poison Mist, and it ached faintly.

Zhao Xinde walked slowly and unhurriedly, appearing before everyone.

“A mere Little Ghost, dares to be presumptuous in front of this old man?”

Of course, it was Qie Man inside Zhao Xinde who made the move.

Qie Man wasn’t particularly motivated by heroic rescue.

After all, bullying the weak, devouring living people—Qie Man had done it before, it was normal for an Evil Ghost.

But the key… Qie Man was afraid of Zhang Buran.

Several people present knew Zhang Buran.

What if Zhang Buran returned and found that several people had been killed by the ghost, and assumed it was Qie Man who did it?

Qie Man didn’t want to be the scapegoat.

Moreover, even if Qie Man did nothing, Zhang Buran would inevitably be angered upon seeing their bodies.

“You are human! Your Poison Mist contains Ghost Poison, you are a ghost!”

“Why are you helping humans against me?”

The Giant Ghost’s eyes were bloodshot, and it roared hysterically, struggling in the poison cage, but it couldn’t break free.

“This old man has always been a righteous knight-errant, unable to bear to see you bully the weak.”

Qie Man stood with his hands behind his back, speaking righteously.

Showing off a little was acceptable…

“You think you can contain me with just this cage!”

Roaring angrily, it inserted its hands into its chest, actually beginning to tear at its own body!

From the Giant Ghost’s ferocious expression, it could be seen that it was actually in great pain.

“What are you doing? Are you going to forcibly break through!”

Qie Man was instantly alert!

As a ghost, Qie Man naturally knew this method of desperate gamble for a breakthrough.

When ghosts are forced to a desperate situation, they can use self-mutilation to forcibly promote their breakthrough.

Although the success rate is less than 10%…

But there are successful examples.

Obviously, the Giant Ghost was trying to gamble.

Thinking of this, Qie Man took a deep breath.

“Tsk, this self-mutilation of yours is merely accelerating your death. This old man didn’t want to kill you, but you insist on suicide, you…”

The next moment, Qie Man’s words froze on his lips.

Because his mother… the Giant Ghost actually succeeded in its breakthrough?

Feeling the Ghost King Stage aura, Qie Man’s expression turned bad…

Qie Man didn’t know.

Because the Giant Ghost swallowed Zhu Zhu’s arm, it had already touched the threshold of the Ghost King Stage… thus greatly increasing the success rate of the forced breakthrough!

“Ah! I succeeded!”

“I am now a Ghost King!”

The Giant Ghost’s body grew a little larger, and strong Ghost Qi burst out from within, its two large teeth becoming even larger, shining brightly like those of a saber-toothed tiger.

With a struggle, the Giant Ghost directly broke through Qie Man’s Poison Mist cage!

King-Level Ghost, Giant Tooth Ghost!

“I’m going to swallow that woman alive!”

Feeling the surging Ghost Qi in its body, the Giant Tooth Ghost became even more unrestrained, rushing towards Zhu Zhu like an enraged lion.

But it missed.

Qie Man carried Zhu Zhu and dodged.

“This is not good… I don’t have the confidence to win…”

Qie Man felt it was tricky.

The Giant Tooth Ghost had already been promoted to a King-Level Ghost.

In its prime, against a newly promoted King-Level Ghost, Qie Man wouldn’t be afraid.

But now, Qie Man could only exert at most 40% of his strength.

Moreover, Qie Man was now inside Zhao Xinde’s body, making it even more difficult to fight.

“You’re also a ghost, right? Why don’t you come out of this person’s body and fight him?”

Zhu Zhu asked at this time.

“Big Sister, I can’t get out!”

Qie Man was heartbroken.

Because his original body had been implanted with a talisman by Zhang Buran.

Then Qie Man found that he could only be trapped in Zhao Xinde’s body and could not get out!

Killing Zhao Xinde should free Qie Man… but how dare he?

Therefore, Qie Man could only obediently stay in Zhao Xinde’s body; being Young Master Zhao and scamming food and drink wasn’t so bad…

“Run? Can you run away!”

The Giant Tooth Ghost launched another punch.

This time, Qie Man carried Zhu Zhu and hurriedly dodged; the casually emitted Poison Mist was struck down by the Giant Tooth Ghost, unable to cause any substantial damage.

“Is this all you’ve got? You’re too weak!” the Giant Tooth Ghost taunted.

Suddenly, the Giant Tooth Ghost clenched its fists, gathering strength and hammering the ground!

“Boom!”

The bottom floor of the restaurant was instantly shattered under this blow.

The entire restaurant was swaying, about to collapse!

Amidst the smoke and dust, Qie Man carried Zhu Zhu and jumped out of the restaurant.

He also took the three Li siblings along with him.

“No! My kitchen! My unfinished dishes! Hit it, hit it quickly!”

Zhu Zhu was anxious, but she was helpless, and could only direct Qie Man to attack.

After putting down Li Rongbing and the others, Qie Man joined his hands and shot several streams of Poison Mist towards the Giant Tooth Ghost.

The Giant Tooth Ghost didn’t even dodge, stubbornly using its body to withstand the Poison Mist.

Qie Man’s current Poison Mist couldn’t hurt the Giant Tooth Ghost.

“Are you giving it a scrape?”

Zhu Zhu couldn’t help but feel anxious.

“If I were at my peak, would I be afraid of this little shrimp?”

“Absorb my Magical Power, it should restore some of your strength!” Zhu Zhu suggested.

“Good!”

Qie Man was stunned, then agreed.

The situation was urgent, there was no time to think, Qie Man began frantically absorbing Zhu Zhu’s Magical Power.

At that moment, Qie Man’s Ghost Qi surged, feeling that he could break out of Zhao Xinde’s body.

“Quickly eat this, this is a pill I condensed with Magical Power, it should quickly restore your Ghost Qi!”

Zhu Zhu took out a ping-pong ball-sized pill from the cleavage of her chest and fed it to Qie Man.

Seeing the Giant Tooth Ghost charging over, Qie Man didn’t have time to think, and swallowed it in one gulp.

Instantly, his Ghost Qi exploded!

He felt, he was back!
