Chapter 288 The Master of Courting Death

Sensing that the Jiang brothers were ready, Yu Zhiyi took out a communication talisman and used her spiritual power to activate it, saying calmly, "I will count to three and then light the exorcism talisman."

With her back to Jiang Liubin and her communication talisman completely covered, Jiang Liubin naturally couldn't see that the talisman was floating in mid-air.

Yu Zhiyi called out three times rhythmically, then brushed her delicate hand across the exorcism talisman.

Although Jiang Linbin couldn't see the transmission talisman that was completely obscured, he clearly saw Yu Zhiyi's movements.

She didn't have any fire-starting tools in her hand; she simply touched the talisman paper lightly, and it ignited!

It's lit!

Jiang Liubin's eyes widened suddenly, quite shocked by what he saw.

"What kind of kung fu is this?"

Yu Zhiyi was too lazy to pay attention to him.

It is impossible for an ordinary person to start a fire out of thin air, but it is not difficult for people in the Xuanmen sect.

Moreover, at her current level, casting a fireball spell is nothing more than a piece of cake for her.

She had no interest in explaining these things to her adopted brother.

At the other two ends, Jiang Liuyi and Jiang Liuyun also lit the exorcism talismans at the same time.

They didn't have the ability to start a fire out of thin air, so they lit the dry branches with a flint and steel early on. After Yu Zhiyi's "one" fell, the two of them immediately lit the talisman paper with the dry branches.

It's worth mentioning that nothing unexpected happened on Jiang Liuyun's side.

On Jiang Liuyi's side, just as the "one" fell, an evil wind appeared out of nowhere and extinguished the withered branches.

Fortunately, there were still embers on the extinguished dead branch. Although Jiang Liuyi was surprised, he was not in a hurry and decisively placed the talisman on the embers.

Fortunately, the talisman paper seemed to be very easy to ignite, and it only took a little spark to set it ablaze, which prevented any mishaps.

As soon as the lit talisman landed on the corpse, a sudden gust of wind blew up the ladder to heaven, accompanied by what seemed to be sharp hissing sounds.

"Aaaaaah!!!"

However, with the strong wind blowing, everyone was momentarily unable to tell whether it was just the sound of the wind or something was actually being burned and making a sound of pain.

Only Jiang Liubin's eyes widened suddenly, and his face turned deathly pale.

Because he clearly saw that right after the talisman burned out, a phantom figure slowly appeared before his eyes.

He was a thin, bony man, and his clothes were very worn.

He looked dazed, his hair was dirty and messy, and his shoes had several holes in them.

Most importantly, this person doesn't have black pupils, only the whites of their eyes!

Moreover, his feet did not touch the ground, but were suspended in mid-air!

Most importantly... his chest...

After this "person" appeared, it immediately revealed a ferocious expression, as if it were enduring immense pain.

Yu Zhiyi took out the oil-paper umbrella she had prepared earlier and handed it to him.

Even with the paper umbrella providing shelter, the man's face was still pale, but he was no longer in as much pain as before.

He glanced around instinctively, somewhat bewildered: "How...how did I get here?"

Yu Zhiyi said, "Yang Tianfang, 28 years old, has been unlucky since childhood. The most unlucky time was when he passed by two big men fighting and was stabbed to death by one of them with a knife."

Yang Tianfang's eyes widened suddenly.

He remembered!

What an unlucky life he had!

He was originally the son of a minor official. Although his father's official position was not high, he was still a scholar among the social classes of scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants, and had quite a bit of influence and prestige in the local area.

He should have been living a life of comfort and ease.

However, he has been extremely unlucky since childhood.

Even when he was still in his mother's womb, he was nearly miscarried several times because his mother ate the wrong things.

She barely made it to her birth day, but was unable to be born smoothly because the umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck, and was even nearly strangled to death.

Fortunately, his father found the most famous and experienced midwife in the area, who used her special techniques to deliver the baby and save his life.

Unfortunately, due to complications during his birth, he was injured, and his mother was also severely weakened and unable to conceive again.

When he was one year old, he almost choked to death while drinking milk.

When he was two years old, he was almost smothered to death by his blanket.

...

Anyway, from childhood to adulthood, he has experienced all kinds of misfortune that others have seen and have never seen.

On his worst occasion, he was almost killed when a flowerpot fell from the sky while he was walking down the street.

Luckily, he was wearing a lucky charm that his mother had gotten for him. He inexplicably stopped when he passed the restaurant where the vase was about to fall, otherwise he would have been cracked open on the spot.

Because of his terrible luck, he didn't even dare to get married, fearing that he would pass on his bad luck to his wife and children, causing them to suffer misfortune as well.

He was about to pass a third of his life when, at the age of twenty-eight, he was killed forever because of two brutes who had nothing to do with him.

Thinking of his life filled with misfortune, she was overcome with grief and filled with hatred for fate.

A massive surge of black energy instantly erupted from his body, completely obscuring his face and making it impossible to discern his expression.

On the mountain path, the temperature dropped instantly, and everyone except Yu Zhi couldn't help but hug their arms tightly.

Jiang Liubin was completely dumbfounded.

He never dreamed that he would actually see ghosts!

The Marquis of Wu'an's heir and another guard were only puzzled as to why the temperature on the mountain had dropped, without thinking much about anything else.

The two looked at each other, bewildered by Jiang Liubin's sudden wide-eyed expression of terror.

Jiang Liubin, oblivious to the expressions on the two men's faces, pointed at Yang Tianfang, who was covered in black soot, and stammered, "Ghost...ghost...run!"

He kept saying he was going to run, but his feet seemed to be rooted to the spot, and he couldn't move at all.

After all, he was just a fifteen-year-old boy. No matter how spoiled he was, he was just pampered by his family.

His fear of the unknown is innate, and he has not yet been able to overcome it.

Yu Zhiyi frowned as she looked at Yang Tianfang, who was about to turn into a vengeful ghost, and slapped another exorcism talisman at him: "If you turn into a vengeful ghost and hurt someone, I don't mind taking you away directly!"

The black aura surrounding Yang Tianfang dissipated with a snap.

Yang Tianfang was stunned.

Yang Tianfang was scared.

Yang Tianfang felt wronged.

"I've had bad luck my whole life, can't I even hold a grudge?!"

Yu Zhiyi had already discerned the trajectory of his life through his facial features. To be honest, she also felt that this person was so unlucky that it was pitiful.

but……

"You can't blame anyone else; blame your own past life."

Yang Tianfang's grief and indignation faltered: "What?"

Even though Yu Zhiyi had lived two lives and seen many storms, after seeing through this person's fate, she couldn't help but sigh, "If you don't court death, you won't die. And in your previous life, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that you were a master of courting death."
