Chapter 46 Chapter 46 Are you unhappy if I hit you?
"Xu Ying! Jiang Chengxu!"
The two people hanging in the air heard the familiar shout, looked up, and saw Ji Chu lying on top of their heads and waving at them.
"Ji Chu!"
Xu Ying was at a higher place, clinging to the rocks with one hand and holding Jiang Chengxu, who was about to fall, with the other. When she saw Ji Chu, she looked up excitedly.
With just this small movement, the stone became noticeably loosened. Xu Ying and Jiang Chengxu exclaimed at the same time, and the stone swayed twice in mid-air.
Jiang Chengxu: "...Please hold on tight."
"Sorry, sorry."
Xu Ying didn't dare to move this time. She heard Ji Chu shouting from above:
"Don't move! I'll come down and help you!"
Jiang Chengxu was anxious:
"No, don't let her get off—"
Before he could finish the word "come", Ji Chu had already quickly pulled a vine from the side and tied it around his waist, then pulled out two strong ones and held them in his hands, and slid to his side with a "swishing" sound.
Jiang Chengxu: "...You came down so quickly..."
Ji Chu only realized something was wrong when he came down.
She originally thought that the two of them had just fallen down accidentally, and that if she gave them the vines, they could pull themselves up.
But only after she slid to Jiang Chengxu's side did she see clearly that two ghost claws formed by resentment spread out from the "water ball", pulling Jiang Chengxu's legs and other arm tightly, locking him firmly in mid-air and unable to move.
If Xu Ying hadn't let go, he might have been dragged down at any time.
Moreover, the center of the huge pit was filled with resentment. Even though she was not directly entangled by the ghost claws, she felt uncomfortable under the extremely strong resentment. Her chest felt extremely heavy, and she couldn't breathe, let alone use her spiritual power.
No wonder Xu Ying and Jiang Chengxu both had such ugly expressions and were reluctant to summon their swords to save themselves.
Jiang Chengxu explained with a depressed look:
"I am trapped in an illusion and cannot break free."
After her friend showed up, Xu Ying finally felt relieved and couldn't help but curse:
"What on earth was it that you couldn't bear to chop?! If I hadn't found you in time, you would have been fed to that water ball down there!"
Jiang Chengxu seemed to have his reasons, and he didn't respond no matter how she scolded him, which made Xu Ying even angrier:
"You can say it or not! Anyway, I'm not the one who's being haunted by resentment!"
Although she said this, she did not loosen her grip on Jiang Chengxu's hand at all.
The stone at the edge of the pit that they used as leverage moved a few inches outward without them noticing, and the two of them were pulled down half an inch by the ghost claws.
At the same time, Ji Chu quickly used a vine to wrap around Xu Ying's waist, tied her up tightly, and then tried to tie Jiang Chengxu with another vine.
It was just that Jiang Chengxu was hanging at a bad angle, and she tried to tie him up for a long time but failed.
The stone above his head rolled down and was instantly covered by the resentment at the bottom of the pit.
Xu Ying freed one hand and grabbed Jiang Chengxu's arm with both hands. The veins on her forehead were about to burst out as she tried her best to snatch him away from the ghost claw.
Ji Chu hurriedly tied Jiang Chengxu's waist to the vine like a sheep.
But before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the ghost claw exerted force again, and Xu Ying and Ji Chu were both dragged downwards.
Jiang Chengxu's legs were about to touch the "water ball" below.
The evil thoughts and residual souls wrapped in the "water ball" stretched out their arms and pushed the surface of the ball high, like a suddenly protruding sharp corner on the ball.
If you lower your head, you can even see a scary face with red eyes.
There was only a thin, translucent membrane between them, and it seemed as if those residual souls would rush out at any time and bite off a piece of his flesh viciously.
Ji Chu felt uncomfortable after taking a look at it.
The thought of her senior brother jumping directly into this pile of things made her more worried.
The three of them tried their best for a long time, but they could only barely maintain balance with the ghost claw. Jiang Chengxu felt as if he was being pulled into a long strip by the combined force from top to bottom.
Seeing that there was a high possibility that three people would fall together, he opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Xu Ying predicted in advance:
"You'd better stop talking nonsense!"
Jiang Chengxu was surprised at first, but then his expression returned from struggling to his usual calmness, and he deliberately joked:
"You didn't think I was going to let go just because I couldn't pull anymore, did you? Actually, what I was trying to say was that the three of us, hanging hand in hand in the midst of resentment, are like a string of dried bacon..."
Ji Chu: “…”
Damn, she actually felt hungry.
Jiang Chengxu continued:
“It’s actually quite delicious when eaten directly, but I prefer to stir-fry it with minced garlic and chili peppers, which makes it even more fragrant.”
Xu Ying showed a painful expression:
"I want to let go and wipe my saliva."
Jiang Chengxu was shocked: "No, lady!"
Xu Ying took the opportunity to threaten him, "If you don't tell me what you saw that caused you to be caught by the evil thoughts, I will definitely let you go!"
Jiang Chengxu sighed, "I'm really scared..."
They started chatting about food one after another. Ji Chu felt that the strength of the ghost claw that was pulling Jiang Chengxu seemed to have loosened a little, and it was no longer pulling down as hard as before.
She thought about how she had been too complacent before, which had angered the evil creature so much that it used its ultimate move to expose her true colors.
It seems that this evil creature can understand what they say and is quite human.
She came up with a plan, moved her body, and used the vines to move herself to Xu Ying's side, whispering softly:
"The water ball is alive and it gets angry."
Xu Ying immediately understood what she wanted to do, so she raised her voice and said:
"I know even without you telling me that this evil creature looks ugly and stupid, what kind of illusion can it create? It will only lead to being scolded in class, having your cultivation hindered, and your partner cheating on you. It's meaningless."
Jiang Chengxu received the signal from the two and immediately followed suit:
"That's right! This evil creature has been buried underground for who knows how many years. It's just an old antique. What does it know?"
The "water ball" below with its mouth wide open suddenly let out a loud exhalation sound, blowing the vines that the three people were hanging on to sway left and right.
Xu Ying and Jiang Chengxu were surprised: "It's really angry!"
Ji Chu looked down at the "water ball" below, which was suddenly agitated. The remaining soul inside was roaring and struggling like a pot of boiling water. Something felt wrong:
"That's a bit strange..."
"Don't worry about whether it's weird or not, as long as it works!"
Xu Ying continued to exert her strength:
"It looks so disgusting, no wonder it's locked up in the Earthly Evil Soul Locking Formation. They're probably afraid it'll make people vomit if it gets out—"
As soon as she finished speaking, the evil creature below suddenly burst out with a huge bright light from the middle point, and then the evil thoughts and residual souls wrapped in the middle of the "water ball" screamed in unison, tearing and crashing on the surface of the "water ball".
At a certain moment, an extremely subtle sound, like shredding paper, came from the surface of the "water ball", and then the evil creature that was swelled to the point of exploding exploded in front of them.
A thick evil energy suddenly rushed up from the ground like a volcanic eruption.
The ghost claw that was grabbing Jiang Chengxu disappeared at some point, and the three of them were scattered by the violent airflow, like a few leaves caught in a strong wind, and were suddenly blown in different directions.
Fortunately, it was tied up with vines so that it didn't fly away.
When the water ball exploded, Ji Chu subconsciously looked down, but did not see the shadow of his senior brother.
The sudden explosion of the "water ball" was most likely caused by her senior brother. He didn't appear to join her, so he must have been trapped by something.
But now she was hanging in the air and could do nothing. She could only hold on to the vines tightly and try to use the impact force to throw herself onto the huge pit.
Xu Ying and Jiang Chengxu had already successfully swung up using the same method, and were now waving at her from the edge of the pit, signaling her to hurry up.
Ji Chu also gathered all his strength and jumped up——
Xu Ying grabbed her arm in time and pulled her up.
Ji Chu thanked him and just as she stood firm, she saw someone she didn't expect to see next to Jiang Chengxu - Xue Xianchen.
Ji Chu's face immediately changed, and he drew his sword and put it against Xue Xianchen's neck.
Xue Xianchen glanced at the sword blade and smiled at her, but his tone was deliberately innocent:
"What does Ah Chu mean?"
Seeing Ji Chu's murderous look, Xu Ying didn't ask any questions and directly drew her sword and pointed it at Xue Xianchen.
Only Jiang Chengxu was a little confused. He did not step forward to stop him, but only asked Ji Chu:
"What's going on?"
Ji Chu turned to Jiang Chengxu: "He is the devil who hurt you!"
Jiang Chengxu was surprised at first, then explained:
"You misunderstood, Ji Chu. He's not a demon. He's Xue Xianchen. When the demons attacked me, he was the one who blocked it for me."
"Xue Xianchen?"
Xu Ying looked at "Xue Chen" in front of him for a few seconds, without moving his sword.
"Xue Xianchen is not a good guy either!"
When Ji Chu heard Jiang Chengxu's words, he was subconsciously surprised:
"He saved you? How is that possible?"
The smile on Xue Xianchen's face grew even wider:
"So, Ah Chu thought that demon was me?"
"What a pity, Achu...you guessed wrong."
He said "regret", but there was no regret in his words. He even raised his chin slightly and took the initiative to put his neck towards Ji Chu's sword:
"I don't know how I gave Achu this misunderstanding, but it doesn't matter. Achu can do whatever he wants to me...even kill me."
Xu Ying and Jiang Chengxu both looked at them.
Ji Chu squeezed the sword in his hand again and again, but finally put the sword down.
"How could that be?"
She gave a sinister smile:
"I'm not the kind of person who would kill a fellow disciple just to win."
There was genuine regret in Xue Xianchen's eyes now.
What a pity. It must be very satisfying to be stabbed in the throat by Ji Chu with such an expression...
Seeing that nothing happened, Jiang Chengxu said:
"The evil object exploded suddenly, and the remnant souls and resentment spread everywhere. We still have to find the treasure that supports the Earthly Evil Soul Locking Formation to completely seal this place off."
Xu Ying pointed to the place below where the evil object had exploded.
"There are two holes. Should we go together or separately..."
"Go separately."
Ji Chu said decisively: "Xue Xianchen and I will go to the left, and you guys go to the other one."
Xu Ying originally wanted to be with Ji Chu, but she didn't expect that she would choose Xue Xianchen. She had no choice but to say:
"Then be careful."
"Don't worry."
Ji Chu nodded at her: "I will be fine."
The four separated.
Ji Chu was walking very fast in front, and Xue Xianchen was chasing her behind. He took a step forward and wanted to hold her hand, but Ji Chu dodged him and slapped him in the face with her backhand.
She had completely lost the nervousness she had when she first hit him, and even asked him back:
"What? Are you unhappy that I hit you?"
Seeing Xue Xianchen looking up at her with some surprise, Ji Chu said again:
"I thought you were a pervert, weren't you?"
Xue Xianchen gently rubbed his red and swollen face with his fingertips, staring at Ji Chu, his eyes scanning her face like a venomous snake. After a moment, he suddenly laughed:
"like……"
Before he could finish his sentence, Ji Chu raised his hand and slapped him again.
The blow was so fierce and heavy that it caused a cut at the corner of his mouth that started bleeding.
Ji Chu's voice was cold and sinister, completely lacking his usual cute and lively demeanor:
"If you dare to attack my friends, I will make sure you die without a burial place!"
Since her rebirth, she has always maintained an innocent and positive attitude, but the hatred for the tragic death of her friend in her previous life has not disappeared at all and has always been buried in her heart.
She just didn't want to waste time hating, she just wanted to cherish the opportunity to be reborn and make up for what she missed in her previous life.
Xue Xianchen was first shocked by her sudden expression of negative emotions, and then his eyes gradually turned into a resentful obsession.
Such a beautiful, stubborn being whose hatred was so vivid... He seemed to like her even more...
Catch her, possess her, let her sink into the darkness like himself, will she burn violently in the darkness?
Just thinking about this possibility, he couldn't help but get excited, his breathing became heavy, and he felt something burning vigorously in his bones, making his internal organs become hot.
His wrist trembled slightly with excitement, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to touch Ji Chu's face.
The sword flashed.
Ji Chu didn't give him a chance to raise his hand, and directly cut his neck with a sword.
Xue Xianchen's jade token began to shatter. Ji Chu took a glance and found that this devil was still a "human".
This Yushupai is indeed an unreliable liar.
Xue Xianchen showed a painful expression.
Although it was Xue Chen's body, the pain of death still remained vividly on his original body.
On the eve of leaving the small world, he looked at Ji Chu. His throat was so painful from Ji Chu's unhesitating sword strike that he couldn't make a sound. He spat out blood and couldn't speak clearly. But with a strange smile on his face, he tried hard to spit out a sentence:
"You already knew that I..."
"Ji Chu, I'll wait for you outside..."
