Black Myth: Starting from the Destined One-Chapter 52 - 48 New Spell

“Li Ping’an, have you lost your mind? Get behind us quick!”

Wanyan Mengwen had already lost hope for Li Ping’an, but since she had brought him, she had to ensure his safety and couldn’t help but urge him again.

“What? Get behind you? Aren’t you the one who asked for my help?”

Li Ping’an turned his head and glanced at the ten police officers soaked with sweat from nervousness, finding it quite amusing:

“Alright, it’s not a big deal. Leave the rest to me!”

Li Ping’an took a few strides to the back of the banquet hall, and the atmosphere suddenly quieted down. Everyone held their breath and intently stared at every move Li Ping’an made…

The moment Li Ping’an opened the rear doors of the banquet hall, they saw a disfigured long-haired woman floating in mid-air, but it only lasted for an instant.

They thought they had hallucinations, then a strange wind arose from the enclosed rear doors of the banquet hall, rushing towards Li Ping’an.

“Is this damned thing really a fierce ghost?”

Having entered the Secluded Cave state, Li Ping’an finally saw the difference between a fierce ghost and ordinary ghosts.

Back in the world of “Black Myth: The Fated One,” he had controlled ghosts to fight the Human-Headed Dog Demon and Night Traveler Muqiang Baoshan.

However, those spirits lacked self-awareness; they were all dispersed in form, having intent but no substance.

The fierce ghost before him was entirely composed of a dark mist, similar to the Demonic Qi produced by The Six Demons of Five Finger Mountain, but not as pitch-black or eerie.

The dreadful aspect was that it had a mass of resentment forming a solidified spirit. Li Ping’an took one look, and his mind was instantly filled with a desire to commit suicide and a feeling of world-weariness.

“So, a fierce ghost does not harm people by any powerful means like in movies or novels; it simply lures them to commit suicide, confusing their minds, making them lose the will to resist, and then harming them.”

“Xiao Xianlü, could you spare me the trouble and stop harming people?”

Li Ping’an again used Divine Skills: Expel Spirits, attempting to communicate with the fierce ghost Xiao Xianlü.

Before he could finish, the dark qi that had taken the shape of Xiao Xianlü suddenly began to expand rapidly. As it expanded, dozens of arms and legs emerged from her body, and around her neck, it began to split, surrounding her head and growing many heads of the people she had harmed, almost forming a spherical shape, which was both terrifying and nauseating.

The round mass of dark qi, filled with human heads and limbs, squeezed out from the doorway. They all opened their mouths to reveal sharp fangs, and dozens of limbs reached out towards him as if they couldn’t wait to tear Li Ping’an apart and devour him.

“I wondered where the ghosts of those killed by the fierce ghost had gone, turns out you absorbed them!”

Xiao Xianlü had killed dozens of people and absorbed their souls. Driven by her own obsessions, she harbored even greater resentment than a regular fierce ghost, and her strength was stronger too!

“Soul Collecting!”

Seeing the dire situation, Li Ping’an immediately used the Divine Skill he had just comprehended: Soul Collecting. A vortex of airflow, invisible to others, appeared in his palm, and the dark qi actively began to be absorbed into the center of his hand.

“Let me see how you ended up going down this suicidal path!”

The moment Li Ping’an’s palm touched the ghostly dark qi, he quickly learned all the memories and secrets from Xiao Xianlü’s life:

Xiao Xianlü was originally a hustler. She had a low level of education, liked tattoos and RAPPERS, and enjoyed going to nightclubs. She eventually quit school and followed a guy with dyed hair to work in a nightclub in Hehuang City. During that time, she got pregnant by him and had three abortions.

After the guy with dyed hair grew tired of her, he took all her money and disappeared completely. To survive, Xiao Xianlü followed online scammers’ footsteps and contacted a top influencer to partner up in scamming three honest families in marriage scams, raking in over eight hundred thousand in dowries.

Eventually, she was prosecuted by the judicial authorities for marriage fraud and was sentenced to eight years in prison.

By the time she was released, she was already twenty-six years old. Fond of leisure and hating work, she returned to Xiao Family’s Valley, where nobody knew her true nature, and repeated her old tricks, scamming her current husband.

However, her husband’s family was vigilant, so she proposed going to the city to work, hoping to secure a wealthy patron while she was still young and never have to worry about food or clothing again. But she, knowing nothing much, ended up becoming a masseuse at Silver Dragon Tower through an acquaintance’s introduction, and that led to the subsequent events!

“I didn’t expect your life story to be quite so spectacular!”

Li Ping’an relaxed his Soul Collecting, but this fierce ghost, which had devoured other souls, possessed not only strong resentment but had also developed intelligence. To avoid being absorbed by Li, the dark qi suddenly contracted and concentrated to the size of a basketball, breaking free of the suction and violently smashing against Li Ping’an’s hands.

“Damn!”

Li Ping’an felt as though he had been struck by a boulder; his body was forcefully pushed back several meters, and his palms throbbed with intense pain. Still, he said playfully:

“Turns out I can’t even collect the soul of a fierce ghost. It must be because my cultivation is too low. But no rush, I’ll enjoy playing around and testing some new spells!”

After the collision, the dark qi broke through Li Ping’an’s divine power of Soul Collecting and returned to its huge, nauseating state, charging at Li Ping’an once again for the kill.

“Five-colored Lotus Seal!”

In the next moment, everyone saw Li Ping’an form a strange hand seal, resembling a five-colored lotus platform.

At that instant, Wanyan Mengwen, Huang Yi’an, and others could vaguely see a lotus platform illusion appearing beneath Li Ping’an’s feet, ethereal and barely visible, almost imperceptible.

The fierce ghost, charging forward, collided against the lotus platform shielding Li Ping’an, letting out a mournful and wretched scream. The impact dispersed several ghosts it had absorbed, significantly weakening its strength.

As the fierce ghost screamed, the lotus platform trembled slightly. In the eyes of Huang Yi’an, Wanyan Mengwen, and the others, they could only see the dust on the carpet being moved by some invisible force, radiating away from Li Ping’an and then slowly settling back down.

It was just that the moment was too brief; no sooner had it appeared than it vanished on its own.

In fact, after the fierce ghost had knocked on all the guest rooms, it had intended to flee, but it had smelled the delicious rarity that was Li Ping’an.
