Chapter 27: Evil resentment, arrogance and wildness, just like the spirit of the past
Although Ji Lingche was being strangled, he didn't care at all and just sneered: "Why are you doing this——"
"In Yan Jinchen's eyes, you are nothing more than an insignificant servant. You should know this better than me, right? Even if you die for him time and time again, he won't have the slightest pity for you."
Ji Lingche's expression was indifferent. Upon hearing this, Ah Si gritted his teeth in hatred and just used force with his hands. His hatred was so great that his eyes were almost bloodshot.
Ji Lingche moved as fast as lightning, grabbing her wrist. Ah Si cried out in pain and immediately released the force!
Ji Lingche grabbed her wrist and said, "Why are you getting more and more stupid? You don't really think you can strangle me to death, do you?"
Ah Si's hands were cracked by her, but he suddenly burst into laughter like crazy, laughing so hard that he fell backwards and laughed until tears came to his eyes.
She laughed for a long time, then raised her free hand to wipe away her tears. She sighed contentedly and finally said, "Master Sect Leader, you don't have much longer to live!"
Ji Lingche lowered his eyes and saw that a black line had appeared on the back of his hand. The black line extended along his fingers to the fingertips.
She turned her hand over and looked at her palm, only to see the black line spreading from the fingertips down along the fingertips, finally stopping at the junction of the fingers and palm.
The thread seemed to be full of life, wriggling all the time, approaching her palm little by little!
Ji Lingche quickly reached out and touched the acupoint on her wrist, mobilizing all the spiritual power in her palm, trying to stop the black line, but it had no effect. The black line still went towards her palm without any haste!
Ah Si saw Ji Lingche's face change several times, and she laughed so hard that her body shook. She staggered and supported herself against the wall, holding her chest, and said in a proud tone: "Master, what did I say to you?"
"When this black line reaches your palm, your soul will be gone, bang! Hahahahahaha..."
Gu Chaoyin's expression suddenly changed. He suddenly attacked and grabbed Ah Si's neck fiercely: "What the hell is this? Get rid of it quickly! Otherwise, you——"
Ah Si's pale face instantly turned red due to blood congestion, but he was almost crazy, and he squeezed out the words from his throat with difficulty: "Come on, crush my ghost soul, and take her living soul with it!"
Ji Lingche quickly tried all the methods, but no matter what she did, she couldn't stop the black line from wriggling. She frowned at the black line, but her tone was unexpectedly calm: "Live and die together Gu?"
Gu Chaoyin's heart sank when he heard this, and he released the hand that was pinching Ah Si's neck.
Ah Si leaned against the wall, panting, raised his chin, and said with a long laugh: "Yes, live and die together——"
Judging from the speed at which the black line on his palm spread, there was only about half an incense stick of time left. Ji Lingche raised an eyebrow: "To drag me into hell, you are really willing to risk your life."
Ah Si looked at her, his tone light and airy, as if floating on the clouds: "I am just a wild ghost. At the cost of my soul being forever destroyed, I can bring along a big shot like you. It's really a good deal, haha..."
Gu Chaoyin stared at her coldly: "You little ghost girl, are you really crazy?"
Ji Lingche, however, had a calm expression. He stared at Ah Si leisurely, and raised the corner of his lips: "Hiss..."
"It's a game of burning both the good and the bad together."
The poison in Ah Si's body had taken effect, and she was in excruciating pain all over. She leaned against the wall somewhat weakly, but still held her head high, sighing with a hint of bitterness: "...For so many years, everyone has said that my life is worthless."
"Saying that I was born to be trampled upon is a shameful thing to say."
Ah Si's tone was subtle, with a sigh in it: "But Master, look, your life is not more precious than mine."
Ji Lingche nodded thoughtfully: "Is this your final words?"
Ah Si sneered: "So what?"
Ji Lingche: "You are right. No one's life is more precious than another's, and no one's life is more worthless than another's."
"In Xiaoyao Sect, we don't judge people by their background, and we never discriminate against them. You don't need to prove anything to me."
Ji Lingche's tone was calm, yet sharp: "Instead of harboring resentment for so many years, why not think carefully about who you can blame for your current situation? You debase yourself, yet you beg for mercy, hoping others won't look down on you. You want to prove something until your death. Don't you think it's a bit absurd?"
Ah Si chuckled, but it sounded shrill. After a long while, he said, "High-sounding words, those are what you big shots always say, but they're so light and airy..."
Ah Si sighed softly, "--Well, I've said what I need to say. I'll take you with me to die. Your killing and humiliation of me is finally avenged. You hate me, so what? We're still on the same path to the underworld. Master, please bear with me. Let's go to hell together. By the way, we won't hinder Master Ghost's great cause."
The black line on Ji Lingche's palm was about to reach his palm. Ah Si had already closed his eyes, with a smug sneer on the corner of his mouth, and he actually felt a sense of relief as if he had finally been liberated.
"Excuse me--"
Ji Lingche suddenly raised his hand, a faint smile in his eyes: "I can't do such an interesting thing as going to death hand in hand. Since you are willing to go, you should go by yourself."
Ah Si opened his eyes in surprise, and saw that when the black line on Ji Lingche's palm was about to reach the palm, suddenly a golden light appeared in the palm. The black line stopped abruptly, and after a moment's pause, the golden light in the palm suddenly became stronger and rushed upwards. Almost in an instant, the black line was burned into nothingness!
Ah Si spat out a large mouthful of black blood, and the body fell to the ground and twitched for a while, forcing Ah Si's ghost out of the cousin's body!
I saw a white ghost rolling out, lying on the ground gasping for breath, as if his soul was about to die.
"impossible……"
“Impossible!!” the white ghost roared. The ghosts standing outside the curtain saw that Ah Si was in trouble, so they took the opportunity to rush in and freed Chen Ran, who was trapped in the cocoon and didn’t know whether he was alive or dead.
Ji Lingche just looked at Ah Si coldly and said, "It doesn't matter if you die knowing the truth."
She turned the back of her hand forward, and saw a golden seal flickering on it.
Suddenly, a huge fear spread in Ah Si's heart.
Ji Lingche: "When Gu fight, it's like a fight between beasts. When two Gu meet, one will die."
"It's like trapped beasts competing against each other. Even if you sacrifice your life for the Gu, you can't possibly beat Qu Wuji."
Qu Wu Ji.
These three words hit Ah Si's head, causing her sea of consciousness to buzz and she coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Ah Si was almost going crazy, pointing at Ji Lingche and cursing: "You really are... Ha!"
"You really are having an affair with that guy! You bitch, you keep saying you want to avenge your master, but you're flirting with your enemy—"
"I was wondering why you were so confident. It turns out you already had someone to back you up! You..."
Ah Si knew that his death was near, and he started to curse wildly, shouting at the top of his lungs. The distorted tone of his screams was extremely piercing.
Ji Lingche was not angry, as if she had never taken her seriously from the beginning to the end. She stared coldly at Ah Si, watching her crazy look, and raised a finger to her lips for a long time: "Shh..."
Ji Lingche smiled cunningly: "Don't you just want to provoke me and make me kill you?"
"Don't worry, I won't do that. I'll leave the dirty work of killing you to Yan Jinchen."
Ah Si paused, then, with lust in his eyes, he reached out to pull Ji Lingche's clothes and said word by word, "Impossible."
"impossible!"
"Master Ghost Lord can't possibly kill me—"
Ji Lingche took a step back, and Ah Si's outstretched fingers just missed and hung trembling in the air.
Ji Lingche: "Your ghost master hates disobedient servants the most. You are overstepping your authority and acting on your own. I'm afraid he won't listen to your explanation and will directly crush your soul, right?"
Ah Si murmured, "I saved him..."
"Ji Lingche, you know, if I hadn't blocked your sword for him, he wouldn't be alive. How could he not be grateful to me... At least he wouldn't, no, couldn't kill me."
She whispered to herself, as if telling herself over and over again: "Impossible, yes, impossible."
"Even if I disobeyed his orders, he wouldn't do that to me!"
Ji Lingche looked at her coldly with an indifferent expression. Suddenly, his eyes moved and he saw that Chen Ran was untied from his shackles. He lay silently for a while and suddenly opened his eyes!
Ji Lingche suddenly felt something was wrong and reacted quickly, leaping back instantly. However, she saw that the place where she had just stood was burned into a hole by the resentment!
The entire building shook three times in an instant. Gu Chaoyin was heartbroken and blurted out, "Damn it! If you bring my building down, I'll make sure you all pay!"
Chen Ran was trapped in the cocoon for a long time. He could not vent his resentment, which corroded his mind and made him lose his intelligence. He could no longer think. He instantly fell from being a dignified "Ghost General" to the lowest level ghost who could only kill.
He roared wildly and rushed towards Ji Lingche!
Ji Lingche retreated while saying, "What a pity! You've lost your mind. From now on, power and magic will have no chance with you. Glory is like a fleeting cloud. If you knew this would be the end, would you still be willing to become a ghost?"
Chen Ran naturally wouldn't answer.
He could no longer answer.
Ji Lingche dodged very quickly. Seeing that their new leader had gone mad and was leaderless, the ghosts also started to act crazy and rushed towards Ji Lingche together!
The ghostly aura suddenly became eerie, and Ji Lingche had nowhere to retreat. He bumped into a table, and his hand felt something warm, and he accidentally spilled some tea.
She curled the corners of her lips, picked up the teacup, and took a sip. The tea was just the right temperature.
She smiled and said, "Why are you so angry? Just drink some tea to cool down!"
After saying that, he instantly poured the tea in his hand towards the ghosts led by Chen Ran. But surprisingly, the tea did not splash everywhere as imagined, but floated in the air.
Ji Lingche leaned on the table and suddenly raised his hand and snapped his fingers——
I saw that ball of tea instantly split into countless drops, spreading out crystal clear, shining like ice crystals, very beautiful, but revealing a chilling chill.
Ji Lingche pointed forward and said, "Cold Blade, open!"
In an instant, the countless tiny ice crystals stretched out and turned into ice arrows half an arm long. Before Ji Lingche finished speaking, the frost arrows arrived, and every one of them hit the ghosts firmly!
Once hit by the ice arrow, they would be pierced through immediately. The ghosts howled, their bodies sizzling, green smoke rising, unable to move, and could only watch helplessly as the cold blade corroded their ghost bodies bit by bit. Suddenly, holes on their bodies kept expanding, and green smoke came out.
Soon, all the ghosts turned into smoke and disappeared amid their wailing!
The sacrificial spirit stood in the green smoke with his sleeves folded.
She was shrouded in a hazy mist, and her expression could not be seen clearly. She only looked aloof and unrestrained, just as she was in the past.
Gu Chaoyin couldn't help but be distracted——
Chen Ran was struck the most by the icy arrows, yet he held on the longest. Amidst the intense pain, he regained some consciousness and collapsed to the ground. His eyes became clearer, tears streaming down his face. He stared intently at Ji Lingche, his mouth opening and closing as if to say, "Please... kill... kill me."
Ji Lingche looked at him coldly, ignoring what he said, and simply stepped over him and walked forward on his own.
She only heard a faint sigh behind her, as if with regret, and the last wisp of green smoke rose up and slowly dissipated for a long time...
After the commotion just now, the little ghost girl Ah Si has disappeared.
Gu Chaoyin waved his hand and said, "I didn't keep an eye on that little ghost girl just now and let her run away."
Ji Lingche said lazily: "It's okay, I know where she went."
Gu Chaoyin suddenly smiled: "Why are you so bad?"
"To deal with a few little ghosts, you even have to use the spirit hook? In the past, wouldn't it be just a matter of waving your sleeves?"
Ji Lingche walked to the cabinet, took out a stack of gold paper that was pressed against it, and snorted coldly: "Boss Gu, when you look in the mirror every day, don't forget to check if your tongue is still there."
Gu Chaoyin gently covered her mouth: "Eh—horrible, terrible."
Ji Lingche tore the gold paper into the shape of a little man and then put it in his arms. Seeing Ji Lingche stealing without blushing or beating his heart, Gu Chaoyin said, "You just took away a few ingots of gold with just the best gold foil."
Ji Lingche smiled and said, "Boss Gu rewards his servants with more than I do, right?"
She rummaged through boxes and drawers, pulled out dozens of ghost pills, and put them into her sleeves without hesitation. She flipped through them left and right, taking one by one here and there, and was very busy.
The corner of Gu Chaoyin's mouth twitched. "Oh, you've been turning over for so long, you must be exhausted, right? Do you need my help?"
Ji Lingche's words were baffling: "Hey, your invisibility spell is actually pretty decent. It's a pity that the invisibility spell and the breath-holding spell must be used together to be considered qualified. Before, there was smoke everywhere, but only your smoke was blowing away."
"Next time you play this trick, remember to pay attention to this. Maybe you can fool others?"
Gu Chaoyin: "Who are you talking to?!"
There was no sound for a long time. Finally, a person showed up and was standing next to Gu Chaoyin, which scared Gu Chaoyin. "Hey?! When did you get here? How long have you been here?"
Qing ignored Gu Chaoyin and just stared at Ji Lingche, holding a long sword tightly in his hand, with the veins on the back of his hand almost exposed.
He spoke word by word, "Master Xiaoyao, Ji Lingche."
Ji Lingche raised his eyebrows: "Well, you finally recognized me? Although you are dull, you are not completely stupid——"
Qing's hand holding the sword was trembling slightly.
Ji Lingche held his forehead with his hand: "Why do they all act like they've seen a ghost when they see me——"
She changed her mind and realized that she was possessed by a ghost.
Even more terrifying than pure ghosting is the resurrection of a dead body...
Seeing that Ji Lingche had no intention of killing him, Qing slowly sheathed his sword, but he didn't dare to release his strength: "You pretended to be so weak before, just to make us take the sword for you."
"In fact, the Sect Master can destroy the entire city with just a handful of paper ashes."
Ji Lingche smiled and said, "That's an exaggeration. It's true that I used you, but haven't we all been using you? Don't let yourself be blamed."
Qing's ruined face made some almost abstract expressions that Ji Lingche couldn't understand. He finally said, "The ghost cultivator you are talking about is the famous Yan Jinchen...your junior brother, right?"
"Aren't you going to kill him? When are you going? I'll go with you." Qing asked sternly.
Seeing him like this, Ji Lingche found it amusing and smiled slightly, saying, "Are you so anxious to die—"
"By the way, where are Linghu Jin and your burdensome child?"
Qing's expression was stern, and his tone was extremely cold, but he said simply: "Dead."
Ji Lingche:...?
