Reversing the Heavenly Gang!

Han Xiaodong activated his ability again, switching places with Jiang Ran!

His talent has only two major limitations: first, it can only be used five times per world; second, he must know the name of the other party's talent accurately. Apart from that, there is no limit to the number of times he can use this ability on the same ghost storyteller, only that there is a cooldown time that increases from 30 minutes to one hour to two hours in between.

After the last position swap, Jiang Ran must have been rushing in this direction at full speed, so Han Xiaodong wouldn't be going very far if he swapped positions with Jiang Ran now. Most importantly, Jiang Ran must have already used up one of his chances to save his life last time!

"Jiang Ran, do you think you'll survive this?!"

The space flashed, and Jiang Ran instantly appeared before Master Zha Pian!

Bang!

Lin Changqing gave Jiang Ran a timely warning, so Jiang Ran wasn't completely unprepared. He took out the pistol from his pocket and fired a bullet at Master Zha Pian with a bang!

One bullet wasn't enough to finish off Master Zha Pian, but it was enough to temporarily incapacitate him!

"It seems this place has become a complete mess while I was away!"

Jiang then retreated, distancing himself from Master Zha Pian, with the ghost tide left behind by Han Xiaodong right beside him!

The last order that guy gave before the transfer was—control Jiang Ran!

"The sun never sets, Velens..."

Jiang Ran was pondering a question: if he gave up a chance to pass the level in order to kill Han Xiaodong, would it be a losing proposition?

On the other side, Han Xiaodong was falling rapidly from the sky!

Jiang Ran had already used the Night Wanderer's escape route to quickly return, but now that Han Xiaodong had switched places, the Night Wanderer wouldn't tolerate him and threw him off the ground!

"Winged Demon! Rise!"

"Ghost tide! Rise!"

Han Xiaodong's ghost tide had been dispersed by Master Zha Pian, and since he was no longer in control, Jiang Ran raised the reaction medicine bottle and quickly broke through the ghost tide. At this time, Master Zha Pian's mobility was almost restored, and Jiang Ran directly fired another bullet!

The description of the Four Commanding Ghost Banners is "devour all creatures within range", so collecting all four commanding ghost banners should also be one of the ways to defeat Master Zha Pian.

However, one of the Ghost Banner tokens is currently in the hands of Master Zha Pian himself, and two more are in the hands of Han Xiaodong. Jiang Ran only has one token, which is enough for him, and it is still a long way from clearing the level.

To collect all four command banners, let's not even talk about how to snatch two command banners from Han Xiaodong. The most important thing is how to get the command banner from Master Zha Pian!

Losing his ability to attack doesn't mean he can't keep the ghost banner in his hand!

It can be said that thanks to Han Xiaodong's actions, Jiang Ran has only just returned to the battlefield and has already lost the opportunity to seize the Ghost Banner. With Master Zha Pian in such a terrible state, who can deal with him?

"Cough cough!"

Xu Ying finally regained his strength. He pulled the arrow out of his chest and managed to stand up.

Yu Cheng is still in a coma and shows no signs of waking up.

Jiang Ran cannot control Master Zha Pian for long. Once he regains his mobility, everyone present will only face death!

Xu Ying supported herself and slowly walked to Ren Xiaodie's coffin, where she sat quietly.

"So there's still no way to resolve this? Oh well... let it be."

Xu Ying lowered her head and gave a self-deprecating laugh.

Kill the sacrificial offering, then kill Xu Zi in front of Xu Ying, and finally kill Xu Ying. The ghost marriage can still take place, and Master Zha Pian's goal can still be achieved!

These individuals are all important figures, so there is no possibility that Jiang Ran killed them beforehand.

Is there really no way to break this deadlock?

"Killing Xu Ying...and then the ghost marriage..."

Wait, something seems to have flashed through my mind!

"Xu Ying." Jiang Ran jogged to his side and put her hand on his shoulder. "Perhaps, we still have one last way!"

"Are you... willing?"

“Yes…yes…” Xu Ying stood up again. He lifted Ren Xiaodie’s coffin, revealing a well-preserved corpse.

"Xiaodie, although everything started because of you, you are actually the most innocent one in it all. We were all swept into the center of the vortex, so what difference does it make?"

Xu Ying grabbed Ren Xiaodie's cold little hand and held it tightly in her palm.

"I read your letter... Hmm, I read it word for word. Whew—although I didn't know you well before, you must be a very good girl. There are only bastards like Ren Tianze and Master Zha Pian. A gentle girl like you has to suffer this kind of fate after death... God is truly blind!"

"You asked me if I can protect you, yes...yes!"

"You little brat! What are you doing?!"

A roar came from not far away from Master Zha Pian! Seeing that he was about to break free of his restraints, Gwen vigilantly picked up the scissors, ready to fight at any moment!

Jiang Ran finally placed his hand on Xu Ying's hand.

"Well then, Mr. Xu Ying, given the special circumstances, I'll simplify the process a bit. Are you willing to marry Miss Ren Xiaodie?"

"I do!"

Jiang Ran looked up at the night sky again.

So, Ms. Ren Xiaodie, are you willing to marry Mr. Xu Ying and become his wife?

The night breeze embraced Xu Ying tightly, and two streams of tears slid down his cheeks. In the invisible wind, he seemed to feel a warm embrace and a soft whisper—

I do.

The ghost marriage is complete! Mr. Xu Ying and Ms. Ren Xiaodie are officially husband and wife at this moment!

At this moment, this was no longer Master Zha Pian's Yin-gathering technique, but their real wedding!

"Aaaaaaah! I want you all dead!"

Master Zha Pian broke free of his restraints and, losing his mind, charged at Xu Ying in an instant, aiming a claw at his throat, his goal being to take his life!

Xu Ying was unable to dodge the attack no matter what he did; he stood there unharmed.

The illusory Ren Xiaodie floated behind him, reaching out to block Master Zha Pian's claw attack.

The jade Buddha pendant on her chest was radiating a warm, all-encompassing light!

"Don't—hurt him!"

Xu Ying closed his eyes, the night breeze brushing against his cheeks and ruffling his hair.

After more than a decade of life, what truly belongs to him?

At least for now, there is a girl who truly belongs to him! No matter what she is like now, Xu Ying will try to love her.

"Xiaodie, my wife, thank you."

“Ah Ying, my husband, you’re welcome.”

"Aaaaaaah!"

Under the light of Buddha, Master Zha Pian's body burst into golden flames, writhing on the ground in pain, his previous arrogance completely gone!

"Stop! Stop! Stop!"

“You who are burdened with sin, everything is caused by you, and you will eventually be devoured by this cause and effect.”
