Huangliang Inn

The corpse poison developed extremely quickly, and in less than half a day, it had already flowed to the whole body with the blood.

Ji Daocheng galloped all the way, and had no time to treat the wound. His entire right leg was swollen and black, and a large stream of pus flowed out from the wound, giving off a foul smell.

Attracted by the poisonous gas, there are evil spirits and ghosts who keep gathering, trying to devour Ji Daocheng.

Not only to resist the toxic attack, but also to get rid of the pursuit of evil spirits, Ji Daocheng was tired of coping, his mana was constantly being consumed, his pulse soon became disordered, and his eyes turned black.Barely repelling an evil demon, he accidentally rolled down the valley, hit a tree stump with his back, his limbs were scratched by gravel, his strength was weak, his internal organs were invaded by poisonous gas, and his face turned black.

When it fell, the compass fell out of hand and rolled into the grass.

The copper needle hit the sharp stone and was bent and broken on the spot.There were large scratches on the surface of the copper plate, and the female ghost took the opportunity to break free and was shocked to see the scene in front of her.

Floating in front of Ji Daocheng, he saw his face was black and bloodshot, his whole body was dying, and the female ghost's expression became complicated.

The ferocious black lines disappeared from the neck and arms. The female ghost leaned over, as if she wanted to help, but she became alert at the next moment, took two steps forward, and looked at the entrance of the valley vigilantly.

"It's Su Xiong."

Ji Daocheng forced himself to sit up, gripped the bronze dagger tightly, and gritted his teeth to cut his palm.After the blood stained the sword and spread over the surface of the totem, he sacrificed several yellow talismans and set up a maze to temporarily confuse Su Xiong.

He was very aware of his physical condition, fought against several ghosts, and barely activated his mana, and now his pulse was disordered, obviously poisoned deeply, and there was no cure for it.Even if Su Xiong doesn't come after him, and there is no special panacea to restrain the poison of the corpse, his time will be numbered.

"I have no father or mother since I was a child. I was adopted by the master of the temple. I saw ghosts harming people with my own eyes. I saw that all 230 people in the mountain were killed by ghosts, and the master was also killed by ghosts. I believed that ghosts and demons are evil, and I was determined to kill them. Demons, sweep away all the ghosts in the world."

Ji Daocheng began to cough violently, black and red blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and the wound rotted and cracked at a speed visible to the naked eye, spreading from the calf to the thigh, almost to the bone.The bones are also attached to the corpse, and they are stained with black spots. Even if they are cut off, the toxin cannot be prevented from spreading.

"I've killed countless ghosts, and I've killed more than a hundred demons. I've never thought about whether there are ghosts who have never harmed people besides evil monsters and fierce ghosts." Ji Daocheng smiled wryly, "There is no distinction between good and evil, and retribution reincarnates. I claim to be saving my life." People, but they have never thought about whether the people they save are good or evil, and whether they are really innocent. Whether what I do is to help the world, or to be a minion of a tiger, to help the evildoers."

The female ghost didn't answer, her eyes wandered back and forth between Ji Daocheng and the entrance of the valley, the grass above her knees rustled, and a man wearing a bamboo hat and sackcloth appeared not far away, full of blood and ghostly aura winding.

"He is Suxiong, an ancestral ghost catcher and a ghost raiser. If you are caught by him, you will be thrown into the altar of raising ghosts, refining three souls and seven souls, and helping him increase his mana. If you don't die, you will reduced to a puppet."

"Ghost raiser?"

In the last life, the female ghost was blocked by Ji Daocheng when she was taking revenge, and she tried her best to escape into the water, but although she was not wiped out, she was still slandered and sealed.Thanks to a crack in the sapphire that sealed her, she had a chance to escape, hid in a river clam, followed the river into the sea, and finally sank to the bottom of the sea.

Now that the situation has changed, Ji Daocheng has experienced her despair and pain, and his heart has been shaken.The ghost hunter named Su Xiong suddenly appeared and intervened.What's worse, this person is even more ruthless, and he can't escape, and Ji Daocheng is afraid that he will die here too.

Thinking about what Yan Jue said before, the female ghost secretly made up her mind and prepared to drive the wooden slips she carried with her.

Before she could move, Su Xiong had noticed something strange in the valley, immediately sneered, moved his hands together, and two iron chains flew out from his waist, following the corpse poison in Ji Daocheng's body, he easily located the two of them.

Standing in front of the bronze dagger, the blade hummed and burst into green and black light, fighting against the magic weapon in Su Xiong's hand.

The totem on the dagger gradually lit up, and the lines became extremely vivid.The sword light is divided into several beams and diffused in a fan shape.The moment the labyrinth was broken, the totem flew out from the sword, and the sword light was brilliant, cutting the chain into several pieces, and the force remained undiminished, directly attacking Suxiong.

Su Xiong originally thought that Ji Daocheng had been deeply poisoned, and his mana must have collapsed, unable to resist, and he was sure to take him and that ghost down.Unexpectedly, the bronze short sword in his hand was so powerful, he quickly dodged and was still injured by the sword light, a wound penetrated his left shoulder, and the area around the wound seemed to be burning with flames, emitting a puff of white smoke, excruciatingly painful.

Su Xiong pressed his shoulders, with a ferocious expression, staring at the person and ghost protected by the bronze short sword, and said: "Ji Daocheng, you don't claim to be a decent person, but now you are just like me, a crooked devil, and started to associate with ghosts and monsters." ?”

While speaking, his eyes glanced at the female ghost's blue and white but pretty face, and he said with an evil smile: "Could it be that they are pretending, women in the world look down on them, and want to taste what this female ghost is like?"

The female ghost was enraged, black mist gushed out, and black lines quickly climbed to her cheeks.

Su Xiong smiled even more triumphantly, and continued to utter bad words, just to provoke the other party to attack him actively.As long as the female ghost walks out of the sword light, he has a hundred ways to take her down and sacrifice her to become a puppet on the spot.

"Don't go out." Ji Daocheng stopped the female ghost, grabbed the broken compass, bit his index finger, and drew Dao symbols on the compass with his fingertip blood.

The Dao talisman was integrated into the compass, but he did not attack Su Xiong, but squeezed the magic seal with his hands, and included the female ghost in it.

"You..." The female ghost was surprised, and before she could make a sound, she was locked up by magic power.Ji Daocheng made two more strokes, and then threw the compass into the small river flowing through the valley.

The river is not wide, but the water is extremely deep.There was a turbulent undercurrent under the water, and the compass was sucked into the vortex, and soon disappeared.

Ji Daocheng's movements were too fast and too unexpected, Su Xiong didn't have time to stop him, and he couldn't get past the sword light when he wanted to go forward, so he could only watch the compass disappear with the female ghost.

"Ji Daocheng!" Suxiong was furious, regardless of the wound on his shoulder, smashed a clay pot for raising ghosts, and recited the formula in his mouth.At the moment when the clay pot was broken, evil spirits roared out, and were driven to pounce on the bronze dagger.The ghost energy covered the sword light, was quickly dispelled, and soon covered it again, and the cycle repeated. The bronze dagger gradually climbed up the crack, and the sword light dimmed.

"I'm going to kill you, take your three souls and seven souls, and turn you into a puppet!" Suxiong thought viciously, and he was sure that the other party would not be able to escape, so he didn't do anything to hide it.

Ji Daocheng was calm and composed, without any fear at all.Allowing Su Xiong to shout in front of him, he sat cross-legged on the ground with black blood pouring out of his mouth, controlled his trembling hands, and squeezed out the seal with difficulty.It was originally a magic seal for eliminating ghosts, but he did the opposite and directly acted on himself.

The bronze dagger was wrapped in layers of ghostly aura, the cracks on the sword were deeper, the light of the sword disappeared completely, and it was no longer able to stop Su Xiong.

"Suffer to death!"

Su Xiong jumped forward, but Ji Daocheng's forehead suddenly burst into golden light, and a golden seal flew out, and the terrifying dragon energy knocked Su Xiong backwards on the spot.After landing, the ribs were broken and the calf did not bend naturally.

"What?!" Su Xiong was shocked.

Ji Daocheng didn't stop moving, the seal in his hand kept changing, and finally closed on his chest, with blood gushing from his mouth, his bloodshot eyes opened, and under Su Xiong's unbelievable gaze, he slammed his palm at his Tianling Gai.

"Ji Daocheng!"

"Sacrifice with my body, body dies, soul dies, soul scatter! Punish the evil!"

The wind roared across the valley, and the Dao fire ignited with Ji Dao as the center.

The evil ghost howled and fled, but still couldn't avoid the flying sparks. Just a little bit of it would be swallowed on the spot, turning into black smoke in the flames, and completely dissipating.

Ji Daocheng sacrificed his body to the fire, and Suxiong was seriously injured and couldn't get close at all. He could only watch the puppets that had been painstakingly cultivated disappear into the fire one by one.

The fire burned for half an hour until the evil spirits were burned out and black smoke filled the entire valley.

The bronze dagger fell down, and the sword light that frightened the ghosts was nowhere to be seen.

Where Ji Daocheng was, there was only a handful of black ash left.

Su Xiong struggled to get up from the ground, walked over with his injured leg, stepped on the handful of black ash, and said in a deep voice, "Sacrificing your body to the fire, dying with your body, that's cruel enough! Ji Daocheng, you are more cruel than me!"

Turning around and grabbing the bronze dagger, and looking at the flowing river, Su Xiong suddenly grinned, his smile extremely sinister.He remembered that Ji Daocheng had an adopted son, who was now in Qing County.

"Father is dead, but son is still alive. Ji Daocheng, you are so ruthless, you ruined my hard work for decades, I will let your son help me raise ghosts, and father's debt will be paid by son!"

Su Xiong couldn't stop laughing, in order to make the play real, he tore off a sackcloth, collected Ji Daocheng's ashes, carefully wrapped the bronze short sword, and tied it on his back.

After doing all this, Su Xiong briefly treated the injury, then limped towards Qing County leaning on a branch.

After finding Ji Daocheng's home, Su Xiong revealed his identity, his tongue was full of flowers, and Ji Daocheng's death was pretended to be a ghost and evil.

Because he held a bronze short sword and brought back Ji Daocheng's ashes all the way, Ji's family believed in what he said.The adopted son of the Ji family made a solemn oath that he would eradicate demons and ghosts in this life, and comfort his adoptive father's spirit in heaven.

In Huangliang Inn, Yan Jue stood in front of the screen, looked at the waking female ghost, and said, "I'm back."

The female ghost got up and walked to the screen, looked at the picture that hadn't disappeared, and said in a low voice: "Shopkeeper, why don't you..."

"Why what?"

Looking over with deep eyes, the female ghost's mind seemed to be spread out in the sunlight, with nowhere to hide.

"I……"

"You are pitying your enemy." Yan Jue lifted the female ghost's chin, the smile on her face was still gentle, but it made the female ghost cold for no reason, colder than the moment deep in memory, "Are you blaming me for being helpless?" he?"

"No, I dare not."

"Don't rush to deny it." Yan Jue snapped his fingers, and two wooden slips appeared side by side in front of the screen, the black background was completely covered with red lines, and it clearly recorded the female ghost's request, "You asked for revenge, now It's really interesting to want to save your enemy."

The female ghost's jaw was clamped and she couldn't move at all.When the scarlet eyes met Yan Jue's, he was horrified to find that those eyes were extremely beautiful, but they looked like a bottomless abyss, apart from indifference and emptiness, there was no emotion at all.
