Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 140 - 113: So-Called Righteousness, Nothing More
"You destroyed my Gu worms, I will make you be buried with them!" Ah Ji’s face was covered with bulging veins, his eyes almost bursting.
He stretched out his hand and placed it by his mouth.
In an instant, the surrounding air seemed to be stirred by some invisible force. On the ground, countless black bugs surged out like a tide.
Their bodies twisted in bizarre poses, of different kinds, yet all pounced in the same direction.
At the same time, Ah Ji waved his sleeve, and from his wide sleeve, a dark green Gu poison turned into a poisonous mist spreading rapidly.
Where it reached, not only did it emit a nauseating stench, but the flowers and plants in the room instantly wilted, and even the floor was corroded into black pits.
Even at this moment, Li Shang had the mood to ridicule the opponent.
"Wow, how long has it been since you last took a shower."
Then he twitched his nose and sniffed the smell in the air.
"So smelly."
The two seemingly simple sentences, coming out of Li Shang’s mouth, inexplicably made one feel a surge of nameless anger as if being mocked, and the veins on Ah Ji’s temple throbbed again.
"Humph."
But he also knew that the two in front of him would soon be corroded by the poisonous mist, leaving only a pool of blood.
So wasting words on them wasn’t necessary.
However, a few seconds later, the scene he imagined didn’t occur.
The green mist was still half a meter away from Li Shang when she gently raised her hand, a layer of vivid red glow surrounded her, forming a barrier that blocked all the thousands of insects and ubiquitous poisonous mist outside.
"Hmm?"
Watching those bugs hitting the red glow, making crackling sounds, then flipping onto the ground, no longer moving, Ah Ji’s attention gradually focused on Li Shang.
He narrowed his eyes, raised an eyebrow, his voice seemingly disdainful: "Are you a ghost?"
Moreover, her cultivation seemed quite deep.
Then he couldn’t help but laugh out loud, temporarily forgetting about the Gu worms.
"What’s with me today, truly hit the jackpot, with so many female ghosts coming to visit."
His human skin drum could now increase its ’nourishment’.
Knowing that Li Shang was a ghost, Ah Ji knew his poisonous mist wouldn’t be effective on her, so he waved to disperse it. Otherwise, his house would soon become uninhabitable.
He pulled out a dagger from behind him. In his mind, simulating the attack route. Then, while the opponent hadn’t reacted yet, his figure flickered, charging straight at Li Shang.
Once pierced with this dagger, any ghost’s mana would greatly diminish.
If he stabbed directly into the heart, the soul would be directly absorbed, at his disposal.
Li Shang probably also sensed the danger of that weapon, so this time she didn’t confront it directly but chose to dodge until finding the opponent’s flaw, then strike.
As Ah Ji stabbed forward forcefully, after she dodged, Li Shang saw her chance.
Due to using full force in the previous attack, he couldn’t immediately stabilize his body.
Li Shang curved her lips, eagerly formed her five fingers into claws, reaching for Ah Ji’s back, "Caught you."
However, she didn’t notice the triumphant glint flashing in Ah Ji’s eyes.
He didn’t turn around but leveraged his body to spin a circle. The dagger originally in his right hand was now in the left hand in mid-air.
Within just a few seconds, the battle situation completely changed.
Ah Ji, who was at a disadvantage just now, the dagger was now only a few centimeters away from Li Shang’s neck.
Slashing her throat would only take a second.
Li Shang: !!!
As if intending to cause psychological harm to Li Shang, Ah Ji mimicked her earlier tone: "Indeed... caught you."
Anger surged in Li Shang’s heart, but she had no ability to counterattack, and could only retreat as much as possible to evade this strike first.
As the dagger gradually approached, Li Shang lowered her gaze, seemingly able to feel the chilly glow upon it.
At this critical moment, Mu Yunchu suddenly reached out from behind her, and a talisman struck Li Shang, forcing her into an awkward angle, barely avoiding the dagger’s fatal attack.
Ah Ji, unwilling, pursued relentlessly, quickly thrusting another stab.
Though it only grazed Li Shang’s arm, the pain was extreme.
"Hiss..."
Borrowing the force exerted by Mu Yunchu, Li Shang retreated, looking at her sliced wound with heartache, feeling the thick black aura radiating from her arm, her whole being dyed with resentment.
She clearly wasn’t finished, wanting to go forward again but was hindered by Mu Yunchu.
"I told you not to be careless."
"A Gu Master has a natural advantage in battling ghosts, you won’t gain any benefit."
In certain respects, they share many similarities with Taoist priests.
And Mu Yunchu’s earlier display even caught the attention of Ah Ji, who had always overlooked her.
"Are you a Daoist?"
Unlike when he found out Li Shang was a ghost.
Now, Ah Ji’s eyes were filled with excitement and eagerness to defeat Mu Yunchu.
No longer saying any extra words, completely ignoring Li Shang, he charged at Mu Yunchu.
With several knife swings, each fatal, yet Mu Yunchu dodged them easily. And when faced with humans, this knife lacked the additional capability it had against ghosts.
Thus, after several moves, Ah Ji didn’t gain any advantage.
Soon, as he was caught off guard, Mu Yunchu flipped her right hand, a white beam of light shot from her palm like a sharp blade, directly cutting the dagger in his hand into two pieces.
Ah Ji didn’t get angry at the sight but instead laughed wildly as if discovering something.
"The so-called righteous path, but just like this!"
"A dignified Daoist, actually consorting with a ghost, truly embarrassing us."
He laughed not out of anger, but for discovering Mu Yunchu’s ’hypocrisy’.
This dagger wouldn’t harm her much, yet she destroyed it without hesitation, simply because she feared that during the attack it might be aimed at that female ghost.
A Daoist, actually caring so much for a ghost.
Isn’t this tarnishing her own reputation?
Casually throwing the broken dagger aside, the artifact that once made Li Shang extremely fearful was now worthless like scrap metal.
"Since that’s the case, let me take this seriously."
With Ah Ji’s words, he bit through his finger, summoning his strongest Gu worm with blood.
It was a gigantic blood-red centipede, several stories long.
The two stepped out of the community; he seemed to notice the hesitance on Mu Yunchu’s face, tilting his head slightly, "Rest assured."
"I’ve set up an illusion barrier, before I kill you, no one around will see our battle."
...
At the same time, inside a room hundreds of miles away, shadows flickered.
A girl leisurely opened her eyes, slightly turned her head, her gaze sweeping across the faces of several people beside her one by one, her lips slightly parted, her voice light and elusive: "I’ve sensed Xiao Hong’s location."
As the words fell, the atmosphere inside the room instantly froze. Everyone’s eyes focused on her, while she simply looked back at them quietly, with a calm demeanor, surrounded by a mysterious aura that was hard to grasp.
