Max-Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey-Chapter 1238: Killing to Stop Killing

Jiangli frowned abruptly at the words, "Ten years ago, someone came to suppress you?"

The woman replied bitterly, "Don’t pretend with me! Weren’t you all in it together? It’s your damn Xuanmen Association people!"

Jiangli had a flash of insight, "Ten years ago? Was that elevator accident when you died, or... were you the cause of the elevator accident?"

Upon hearing this, the woman seemed to sober up suddenly. She bore the pain and laughed triumphantly, "Why are you asking this? Do you want to know the truth from back then? Do you want to know? Then I won’t tell you!"

Jiangli looked at her smug smile and sneered softly, "It’s fine if you don’t want to talk. I have plenty of time to wait it out with you. But I’ll remind you, this formation will slowly tear your soul apart, multiplying the pain by tens or hundreds of times. I don’t mind waiting it out, but I’m not sure how long you can hold on."

As Jiangli spoke, she took out a talisman, and with a flick of her finger, the talisman paper began to burn.

The previously dim room suddenly became bright.

At the same time, the power of the formation was also increasing.

The woman screamed in agony, her whole body tensed, as if pulled tight by forces from all directions within the formation.

Jiangli, however, didn’t look at her but turned to look elsewhere.

There, she saw Fu Shiyan leaning against the wall, lying in their original spot, seemingly asleep.

Jiangli knew well that the woman must have cast a spell on Fu Shiyan, keeping him in a slumber to give her a chance to attack.

If not for Jiangli’s prior preparation, the wounds on the woman’s body would have appeared on Fu Shiyan’s body.

When she regained consciousness, she would see she had killed her own—lover.

This was the usual trick of this female ghost.

Jiangli looked at the still unconscious Fu Shiyan, walked over, and checked his pulse.

Confirming Fu Shiyan was fine, just asleep, she pulled over a chair, sat down, and took out her phone, playing games on it, not even glancing at the female ghost, as if she really didn’t care about waiting her out.

The woman, in the formation, became increasingly pained. Seeing Jiangli’s demeanor, her hatred and anger grew more intense.

The killing aura around her reached a new peak in an instant.

However...

As her killing aura intensified, the power of the formation increased, seemingly bringing thousands of knives to pierce her, slicing her soul apart bit by bit.

She let out a scream of pain.

But Jiangli remained oblivious, engrossed in her game, as if she didn’t hear the woman’s voice, playing joyfully.

Seeing this, the woman was both in pain and fury.

Yet, each time her anger increased, the power of the formation would increase, causing her more pain.

After this happened several times, she understood that Jiangli’s earlier words had not deceived her.

This formation was specifically designed to deal with vengeful ghosts like her, with intense killing auras.

Using her own killing aura against her.

To stop killing with killing, could indeed be applied here.

The woman, enveloped in pain, was surprised at how she could think of so many things despite the agony.

Her soul seemed divided in two, one half immersed in the pain, unable to escape, the other recognizing clearly the situation she faced.

She looked at Jiangli in agony, and after the repeated intensification of the formation’s power, she dared not hate Jiangli anymore, only filled with fear.
