Qin Gu gritted his teeth to avoid hitting the thunder talisman in his face.
But he couldn't hold back any longer, so he sneered and said sarcastically, "If you want to repay a favor, what does it have to do with Xiao Bei? If they want their eyes, gouge your own out!"
He had never spoken so rudely to his elders in his entire life, no matter how mischievous he was, but today he simply couldn't take it anymore.
Luo Zikun's smile faded slightly, and he said with displeasure, "Kunkun, how can you talk to your martial uncle like that? Besides, what Zou Na wants is the ability to see ghosts, not me."
"Don't call me that, you're not worthy." Qin Gu had already exploded. He shielded Ruan Bei behind him and looked coldly at the three people in front of him with different expressions: "If you want to touch Xiao Bei, you'll have to die."
Ruan Bei poked his head out from behind Qin Gu, puffing out his cheeks angrily, "I'm not afraid of you anymore! If you dare touch me, I'll smash your head in!"
He glared at Lu Siyuan, thinking that this trash still wanted his eyes. He hadn't hit him hard enough before stuffing him in the trash can last time.
Luo Zikun's smile vanished completely: "Kunkun, don't be silly. Just stay put. Your martial uncle won't hurt you. I'll send you back in a while."
Qin Gu no longer wanted to talk to him; he felt he had never truly known this person before.
"Ha, what's the point of saying all this unnecessary stuff? You're just putting on an act, who are you trying to impress?" Zou Na's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, and her words were particularly hurtful. Luo Zikun's expression immediately changed.
Zou Na didn't care whether he changed his expression or not, and casually cast a spell to trap Ruan Bei, but it was blocked by Qin Gu.
She started fighting without warning, so Ruan Bei and Qin Gu naturally wouldn't stand idly by.
Qin Gu was seething with anger and showed no mercy when he attacked. He grabbed a handful of thunder talismans and hurled them at the opponent.
Luo Zikun didn't expect him to be so ruthless. He quickly dodged, but was still badly hit by the small stones that were blown to pieces and flew out.
Zou Na wasn't as quick as him; the lightning talisman exploded in front of her. Luckily, she cast a defensive spell in time to avoid being blown in the face.
Lu Sibai is in a worse situation. He's just an ordinary person who doesn't exercise much. In the past year, he's hardly left the house, and his legs are almost atrophied.
When Qin Gu hurled the lightning talisman at him, he stood frozen in place. Fortunately, Zou Na, who was standing to his side and in front of him, had cast a defensive spell with a relatively large range, which helped him block some of the damage.
Even so, he was injured by the explosion. His clothes were torn to shreds, revealing festering sores underneath. The lightning talisman charred him black, making him look disgusting with a mixture of black, red, yellow, and white.
Because his face was not covered, it was blasted even more badly. He lay on the ground, covering his face and screaming in pain. Zou Na was so angry that she didn't even bother to fight back. She kicked him first and said, "Useless trash, a disgrace."
Lu Sibai screamed hoarsely, "Mom, kill him! Kill him! Gouge out his eyes! I want him dead!"
"You're the one who should die!" Ruan Bei gritted his teeth in hatred, and then pulled out a handful of thunder talismans and threw them out.
This time, at least Zou Na was prepared. She kicked Lu Sibai far away, and then quickly dodged away while throwing defensive talismans.
Although he escaped the blast radius of the lightning talisman, the ground was covered with sharp pebbles. Lu Sibai slid across the ground, his clothes were torn, and the pebbles cut his skin and scars, causing him to scream in pain.
However, Zou Na was not able to completely dodge. When Ruan Bei threw the lightning talisman, Qin Gu had already caught up and quickly formed a spell to hinder Zou Na's attempt to dodge.
Zou Na, caught between two opponents and also having to protect that good-for-nothing Lu Sibai, was in a flurry of activity and shouted angrily, "You're still watching! Aren't you afraid I'll tell them...?"
"Shut up!" Luo Zikun coldly interrupted her, throwing a formation plate at her. Ruan Bei's vision blurred, and the spell she was casting missed its mark.
The two sides went to war. Ruan Bei and Qin Gu moved swiftly and cooperated perfectly, with a large number of talismans in their waist pouches.
However, the magical artifacts are somewhat limited. For example, the Soul-Capturing Bell is more effective on ghosts and has little effect on humans with strong wills. Only Lu Sibai present would be affected, but affecting him would be of little use.
The Yu'an Umbrella can both attack and defend, but the Zhaohan Sword comes in handy; the peach wood sword is effective against ghosts but not against humans.
Qin Gu's magical artifacts were mostly like that. It was only then that Ruan Bei realized that his and Qin Gu's magical artifacts were more suited for catching ghosts and were not quite enough for fighting humans.
Just as Qin Gu had guessed, Zou Na lacked talismans and magical artifacts, but he didn't know why Luo Zikun hadn't given her any either.
However, she possessed profound cultivation, was skilled in magic, and could form hand seals very quickly, one after another, making her a formidable fighter.
Although Luo Zikun was a fortune teller and not proficient in magic spells and incantations, he had many array plates at his disposal, and he could create a variety of trapping and illusion arrays, making him very difficult to deal with.
The two sides fought fiercely, but in the long run, Ruan Bei and Qin Gu would eventually run out of talismans, and their cultivation levels were not as deep as those of the two old veterans on the other side.
With their fortunes shifting, it's only a matter of time before they both fall.
This is within the formation. Even if Qin Gu were given time to find a way out, he might not be able to, let alone now that the battle is raging and cannot be stopped.
They can't escape; if this drags on, they're bound to lose.
Luo Zikun saw through this, so he wasn't in a hurry at all and tried his best not to confront them head-on. He dragged things out as long as possible, attempting to exhaust Qin Gu and Ruan Bei's spiritual energy.
What he didn't realize was that Ruan Bei and Qin Gu were also stalling for time. By his calculations, it wouldn't be long before his senior brother caught up with his men.
Their calculations were correct. Just then, Luo Zikun, who had just tricked Qin Gulei with an illusion array and had been looking relaxed, suddenly became serious: "Someone is breaking the array."
"What's going on?" Zou Na asked anxiously, "Why is someone here?"
"How was I supposed to know this place was so secluded..."
Luo Zikun's gaze met the barely concealed excitement on Ruan Bei and Qin Gu's faces, and he suddenly realized: "It's you guys!"
"You betrayed me!" Zou Na roared.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Luo Zikun was both angry and anxious. He was completely confused and had no intention of taking the blame.
The two who had just fought side by side instantly turned against each other. Zou Na spat out, "You despicable person! Only the two of us know about this place. Even Lu Sibai was brought in by me. If it wasn't you, then who else could it be!"
"It wasn't me!" Luo Zikun was driven to the point of tears. He wanted to say more, but Zou Na suddenly stopped and ran to Lu Sibai's side.
"what you do?"
Zou Na's gaze was icy: "You forced me to do this."
She pulled out a small jar, and Ruan Bei inexplicably felt his heart race. He knew there was something bad inside, so he immediately used his Thunder Technique to smash it over.
Qin Gu followed closely behind, and the two moved very quickly.
But Zou Na did not dodge at all. She even turned around and took the two blows with her back. Her clothes on her back were blown to shreds and her skin was bleeding profusely.
Without uttering a sound, she seized the opportunity, broke the jar, and pulled out a dark, fist-sized object.
The strange thing looked like a wriggling black lump of flesh, but upon closer inspection, it also resembled flowing black gas, appearing almost solid due to its density.
She pinched Lu Sibai's chin and shoved the black lump of flesh into his mouth. Although it was bigger than Lu Sibai's mouth, the thing disappeared from his lips in an instant.
Lu Sibai clutched her neck in terror, letting out a hoarse cry: "What is this? What did you feed me?"
Zou Na's expression was twisted and strange. Suddenly, she straightened up and let out a wild laugh: "Come on, come on, enjoy everything you're supposed to enjoy!"
Qin Gu felt a chill run down his spine and his scalp tingled. The sudden surge of immense crisis made his heart race. He pulled out all the remaining thunder talismans and threw them at Lu Sibai without a second thought.
It was no use. His body was blown to pieces, but the terrifying momentum continued to rise.
Qin Gu was covered in cold sweat and grabbed Ruan Bei, turning around and running away.
Behind them, Zou Na watched them run away with a cold smile, as if watching two ants struggling in vain.
Luo Zikun was stunned. He backed away while asking, "What did you do? Wake up!"
The protagonist, Lu Sibai, felt as if he had swallowed a piece of burning coal, which burned from his throat to his intestines, and then suddenly turned cold, as if he were locked in a freezer.
Then came the extreme pain. Something was stretching wildly inside his body, tearing his body apart. Because of the pain, his throat was sore, and he couldn't even scream.
Luo Zikun's eyes widened as he watched Lu Sibai's body swell, grow taller and wider, and his arms and legs lengthen.
Because it changed so quickly, his skin was stretched and torn, as if an oversized human body had been inserted into his body, and he was stretched to this extent.
All of this sounds slow, but it actually only takes a few seconds.
Luo Zikun didn't have time to retreat too far, and Ruan Bei and Qin Gu didn't run out of their sight either. "Lu Sibai" had already stood up again.
"Zou Na, you good-for-nothing, why is my body like this!" Lu Sibai's voice was still the same, but it was even more strange and deep.
Zou Na pointed maliciously at Ruan Bei and Qin Gu: "They're the ones who ruined your body. Your eyes are still there. Once you merge with the Yin-Yang Eyes, this body will no longer reject you. Go, Ghost King, and take back your eyes."
"Lu Sibai," no, it should be called the Yinming Ghost King, pushed off with his feet and shot out more than ten meters, instantly getting much closer to Ruan Bei and Qin Gu.
Luo Zikun stood frozen in place, his throat dry and hoarse: "You're crazy, you're really crazy, you were pregnant with a..."
"Yes, I'm carrying a Japanese child." Zou Na laughed loudly, looking at him with hatred. "Those evil cultivators used snake saliva on me. I begged you, I begged you to sleep with me. We were childhood sweethearts, we grew up together, you even saved my life. You won't even help me with this little thing, leaving me alone in the cave..."
Luo Zikun shook his head frantically: "I don't know, I don't know, I thought you could pull through on your own..."
"You don't know?" Zou Na's smile was stern. She knew there was no antidote for snake saliva grass, so how could Luo Zikun not know?
"At first I thought you were doing this for He Cong'an. I was so jealous of her. Everyone liked her, the man I liked liked her, and I couldn't even hate her myself."
Why would there be such a person? So good to her that she has no reason to hate her. How ridiculous! From childhood to adulthood, the person who treated her best was not her parents, not her so-called aunt, and not her distant cousin Luo Zikun, but He Cong'an, whom she had always secretly envied.
"Luo Zikun, you're disgusting." Zou Na's expression was cold. Luo Zikun shook his head frantically, "Stop talking! I told you to stop!!!"
"Ha, you dare to do it but not to say it?" Zou Na sneered, "You're disgusting. You said you like He Cong'an, but you also like Qin Zhengze. You don't dare to confess to He Cong'an, and you don't dare to let anyone know your feelings for Qin Zhengze. You're as pathetic as a bedbug. People like them are a perfect match. Nobody would even give you a second glance."
