Chapter 47: Are you happy to earn money with blood? (25) Countless...
A monk hurried to the banquet hall: "The temple is on fire, go and put out the fire!"
Si Ling's eyes trembled suddenly, and the next moment, a burning sensation surged up from her chest, and the intense discomfort made her cover her chest.
"Si Ling!" Ah Zhui and Xuan Chi supported her almost at the same time. Si Ling's eyes widened, and she took a few deep breaths, barely squeezing out a few words through her teeth: "The temple barrier..."
Ah Zhui took a deep breath.
The several rule stories they selected were all maintained by Si Ling's magic power. Once a problem occurred, Si Ling would be retaliated.
Xuan Chi subconsciously looked towards the window, his sight passing through the villas and plants in the manor. The blazing orange-red flames were dazzling in the night, and thick smoke billowed from the fire to the sky, almost merging with the thick clouds at night.
But here’s the thing…
How could a fire break out in a place enchanted by ghosts?!
Ah Zhui couldn't believe it: "How could there be a fire?!"
As she uttered the word "fire," she felt a gust of wind carrying a dark shadow past her. When she looked again, the two people beside her were gone?!
Gongbu and his two disciples were also drawn to the sudden incident. The flames outside the window momentarily made them forget their fear. Thinking of the priceless Buddha statues, ritual instruments, and antiques in the temple, Gongbu rushed out desperately: "Hurry up and put out the fire! Quick!"
"...Okay!" Dunzhu immediately agreed.
Jianzang, who was facing the crisis of a fruit knife just a few seconds ago, was stunned for a moment and hurriedly followed him out.
In the dark night, countless buildings flew past at a rapid speed. Si Ling fell silent as she listened to the whistling wind in her ears and watched Xuan Chi swooping towards the temple holding her arm.
Although she wouldn't dislocate her joints as a ghost...but doesn't she have any dignity?!
Besides—
"Cough." Si Ling coughed silently, raising his voice amidst the wind. "Xuan Chi, you know I can fly, right?"
She thought to herself: Who isn't a ghost?!
Hyun Chi glanced at her and said, "I can fly when I'm not a ghost."
Si Ling's inner complaints were seen through, leaving her speechless. Looking at the speed at which the buildings passed by, she had to admit that he was better at flying.
After a moment, Xuan Chi brought her above the temple and let go of her hand.
...His letting go was indeed a little sudden. Si Ling's body suddenly fell downwards. Although she immediately stabilized herself in mid-air by regulating her breathing, she still couldn't help but give Xuan Chi a blank look: "Why don't you say something!"
There was no response after the words were spoken.
Si Ling looked closely and saw Xuan Chi staring at the raging flames below, as if looking for something.
She followed his gaze and looked intently. Countless believers were rushing from the clubhouse to the temple, but before they could arrive, there were only a few security guards around the temple who were frantically trying to put out the fire. However, the fire was too big and their efforts were of little use.
The heat from the raging fire and the cool night air created air currents that caused the flames to flicker.
In the flickering firelight, Si Ling saw a black figure moving through the fire.
.
In the luxurious villa, the fire in the distance shone through the glass window behind Aji. Aji subconsciously looked back and determined the location of the fire. He was shocked and anxious the next moment.
Although the temple is not large in scale, it costs a huge amount of money. No one in the Tumba family can ignore it. Now seeing it on fire, everyone's first reaction is pain.
Aji wanted to rush to put out the fire immediately, but the zombie bride was still staring at him hungrily.
Just when he was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do——
"Bang!" Elizabeth broke through the window, and the broken glass hit the ground, making a crisp sound in the night.
Aji watched Elizabeth leave him like this and rush towards the temple in the night without looking back.
not good!
Aji immediately had some bad guesses in his mind, and hurriedly retracted the barrier and started chasing after him.
.
The clubhouse is on the basement floor.
When Aymeric heard the unexpected incident outside, he took a breath in surprise: "Fire?"
"Yes, it was the temple. It suddenly caught fire." said Willey.
"Temple?!" Aymeric's heart shuddered, and he pushed Willey away and rushed towards the stairs.
With the help of the vampire's jumping ability, he rushed out of the basement in a few steps. He raised his eyes and looked carefully. He saw at a glance that the direction of the fire did look like a temple, and he immediately understood.
Aymeric shifted his gaze to the crowd rushing to put out the fire.
...The shock of one night came to my mind again. The Chinese bride, the neatly smiling dolls, every detail was still vivid in my mind.
Aymeric didn't dare to imagine the consequences. He forced himself to calm down and picked up the sound transmission note: "Everyone, move. Now."
The ghosts still in the underground floor were all stunned when they heard his voice. They all understood that it was the sudden fire that made Aymeric change his plan, but they didn't know why he made such a decision.
In the brief silence, all species looked at each other. Soon, the vampires rushed to the stairs first. Seeing this, the other ghosts also made up their minds and obeyed the orders.
.
Above the temple, Si Ling looked indifferently at the figure in the flames and coldly withdrew the magic power that maintained the rules of the strange story.
She was indeed attacked, but for someone who had cultivated for 30,000 years, this attack was like a bruise on an ordinary person, nothing serious.
Xuan Chi turned his head to look at the other side opposite the club - people in the club were rushing over, and there was also a figure running towards this side alone on the other side. It was Elizabeth.
He sneered in a complicated manner: "They tried their best to win you."
After saying this, he retracted his gaze and looked at Si Ling: "Teach them a lesson?"
As he spoke, a flash of light appeared in his hand, and a long halberd as tall as a person took shape in his hand. Si Ling glanced at the long halberd and pursed his lips: "Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken?"
She turned her head to look at the crowd rushing over. In the vast night, they looked like a tide gushing out of the clubhouse gate, and not far behind them...
Si Ling narrowed her eyes and saw a large group of ghosts already on a killing spree. They chased the crowd, and the slowest group was surrounded. Even from a distance of several hundred meters, she could vaguely see the SAN value bars plummeting.
...Did they take advantage of the chaos to "pick up the bargain" or did they arrange this big plan with Elizabeth from the beginning?
Si Ling was unable to judge for a moment.
She curled the corners of her lips, pinched her fingers and chanted a spell. A gust of cold wind rose with the spell, gently brushing through the ends of her hair, and then suddenly rushed towards the crowd.
Mortals cannot see this eerie wind, and even most physical ghosts cannot sense its presence.
Xuan Chi narrowed his eyes and saw that the cold wind suddenly dispersed into countless thin lines when it approached the crowd. It flew towards different targets with precision as if it had thoughts, and disappeared into the human body the moment it touched the target.
Ah Zhui, who had just flown halfway, also witnessed this scene. She stopped herself and couldn't help laughing: "Ha——"
In the running crowd, dozens of targets hit by the black lines suddenly stopped, and the same voice flashed through everyone's mind: It's time!
It was time to offer a sacrifice to Him. They would prove themselves to be the most devoted believers and receive His reward.
So in an instant...
Wu Zhexian pounced on the nearest person like a madman, his eyes red as he swung his fists.
The young man who was knocked down was actually much stronger than Wu Zhexian, but he was unprepared for all this and was knocked to the ground. Before he could react, he was knocked unconscious by a heavy punch.
Not far from them, Cui Lijin, Cui Liming and Cui Han, three siblings, looked at each other, with a gleam in their eyes.
They tacitly pounced on the fat woman who was rushing to the fire scene. Cui Liming and Cui Han held her down tightly. Cui Lijin used all his strength to strangle her neck. The fat woman soon died with her eyes rolled back.
On the other side of the crowd, Solang drew the scimitar from his waist, turned around and chopped!
It was actually just a decorative sword, unbladed, but it was solid metal after all. With one strike, the man, though unharmed, collapsed to the ground, dizzy.
Without thinking, Solang struck down again, once, twice... blood splattered everywhere.
The sudden change happened too quickly. Dozens of people hiding in the crowd suddenly went berserk and attacked their companions, leaving everyone else bewildered. Many people fled in all directions, while others continued to run mechanically towards the fire.
The Western ghosts behind them were also stunned. The three werewolf brothers had been concentrating on surrounding the monks, but the sudden chaos made them turn their heads and see a group of people fighting not far away. The three wolves were puzzled: "What's going on?!"
The monks who were surrounded by them took the opportunity to escape, but just as they ran out of the werewolf's attack range, one of them suddenly turned against them and launched a shameful sneak attack on his fellow disciples.
"Aimerick!" Willey, noticing something strange, called out. Aimerick had just successfully bitten through an old man's neck. He glanced up subconsciously, then fell silent. He left the dying old man aside and took a few steps forward in confusion: "What... is going on?"
Outside the fire scene, Elizabeth, who had been waiting for her prey, saw her prey being intercepted and her face suddenly changed.
Fredis also felt something was wrong, rushed out of the fire and came to her side, looking at the chaotic crowd with her.
Si Ling was hanging in the night sky, looking at them indifferently - she had not intended to kill so many people, but intended to spare some lives of her classmates.
Now that things have turned out like this, what should she say?
Xuan Chi looked at the crowd from afar, smiled complicatedly, and put away the long spear in his hand.
At this time, Aji rushed to the vicinity of the fire.
...From his perspective, nearby was a temple engulfed in flames and two ghosts that had killed several of his disciples, and in the distance was a crowd engaged in an abnormal fight.
He naturally blamed Elizabeth and Fredis for the chaos in the crowd.
“Monster!!!” Aji roared in anger, his anger even supported his mental strength. Si Ling saw that his originally incomplete SAN value bar was instantly restored!
In an instant, a strong wind blew, and a thick black and green smoke quickly gathered into Aji's body. His eyes flashed with vertical pupils again, and he raised his hand and waved it. Eight silver demon-subduing pestles, each one finger long, brushed through the air and flew towards the opponent with a hissing sound!
Xuan Chi's face was stern, and he was about to fly over to stop him, but was blocked by someone's hand.
He looked at Si Ling in surprise. Si Ling sneered: "Although their fire probably only took away a few days of my cultivation, but..."
"Okay." Xuan Chi nodded before she finished speaking.
As he was speaking, the pestle had already attacked Fredis and Elizabeth. The two tried their best to dodge, but were still hit by one each. Fredis was pierced through the thigh and fell to the ground. Elizabeth covered her chest and vomited a mouthful of black blood.
Aji was controlled by anger and had no idea that even if the ghost was injured so easily, it would not be able to cause a fight among the crowd even if it had the ability to set fire. He continued to chant the spell, and dozens of demon-subduing pestles appeared behind him, with the spikes pointing towards the two of them, spinning rapidly in the air.
