She saw a fairy.
However, it was too late to question anything at this moment.
The red-clothed female ghost's sharp claws were within reach, and the cold, yin energy nearly froze Zhou Suyao's thoughts. The rebirth spell she had just cast to deal with the evil spirit had already drained the last of her spiritual power. At this moment, she was afraid that she would have difficulty mustering even the most basic fire-igniting spell.
what to do?
Is it possible that this salted fish of hers will eventually become a dead fish?
etc.
Yin soldiers.
A thought suddenly flashed through her mind.
Yin soldiers, the iron-clad enforcers of the underworld, were not only responsible for preventing the living from trespassing into the underworld, but also for escorting the dead. Although she doubted that these Yin soldiers, easily deceived by low-level spells, could defeat the high-ranking red-clothed ghost before her, at least she could buy them a chance to breathe.
Qi explained that this might be the real underworld - even a young man from aristocratic family like him noticed the abnormality, so how could the group of respected old guys selected from various aristocratic families be unaware of it?
However, she faced another thorny problem: the evil spirit spell she possessed not only obscured the perception of the ghost soldiers but also weakened the attacks of the evil spirits. Once it was untied, rather than relying on the ghost soldiers and the evil spirits to fight each other, she was more likely to be torn to pieces by the red-clothed female ghost and the group of vicious creatures the moment she untied the spell.
Being the bait? The risk is too high, but if you don't act as the bait, you'll definitely be in trouble immediately.
She had to wait for an opportunity.
A perfect opportunity.
Just as her mind was racing with thoughts, the strong smell of blood, accompanied by a biting cold wind, pressed down on her like a substance, and the feeling of suffocation instantly gripped her.
The figure of the red-clothed female ghost suddenly approached, her hair stained with dark red blood close at hand. Zhou Suyao subconsciously closed her eyes, her instincts making her want to just lie down and pretend to be dead.
However, the expected severe pain did not seem to come.
She cautiously opened her eyes a little, and the next moment, she was caught off guard by a pair of bottomless black ghost pupils.
"You... have his scent..." The ghost's voice was hoarse and intermittent, with a creepy confusion, and she asked in a tone that was almost questioning: "How can you... have this smell?"
Zhou Suyao wondered what smell she could have? The smell of salted fish?
The female ghost approached again, with her nose only an inch away from her face. If she didn't know that ghosts who went to the underworld had long lost their five senses, she would probably have thought that the female ghost was carefully sniffing the smell of salted fish on her body.
"You have his aura." The ghost girl's slender, cold fingers stroked her cheek, bringing a chilling chill. "You look... a lot like me... He looked at me like a treasure at the time and accepted me as his personal disciple, but he..."
Her voice suddenly rose:
"But he pushed me into a desperate situation!"
"In order to cultivate and ascend to heaven, he tricked me into practicing dual cultivation. After we finished, he used my body as a meat cauldron and boiled my people into meat porridge, which he gave to those hypocritical cultivators!
"What personal disciple? What jewel in the palm of his hand? He treated me as his most precious vessel, seemingly meticulously crafting me, but in reality, he only wanted to devour my flesh and blood when he needed me! He's a monster with a human face and a beastly heart. He deceived me! He kept me alive! He killed me!"
The female ghost in red laughed loudly towards the sky, tears of blood flowing from the corners of her eyes. When she looked at Zhou Suyao again, her face miraculously regained an almost charming calmness.
"Tell me, should I kill you? Those chosen by him will probably have the same ending as me." She chuckled, "Little sister, do you want me to help you get rid of it early?"
Her voice was extremely charming and seductive, but unfortunately, Zhou Suyao's brain CPU had been fried by all kinds of inexplicable information such as meat pot, meat porridge, and selection, and she didn't understand what she was saying at all. Otherwise, according to her personality, she would probably really want to lie down when she heard the word "liberation" and nodded instinctively.
So, facing the red-clothed ghost's "kind" "invitation", she could only force out an awkward smile and said, "Um... I'm sorry... I don't quite understand."
"Um?"
The charming smile on the ghost girl's face froze in an instant, as if she was choked by her rather unscripted speech. A hint of surprise flashed across her pure black ghost pupils.
Now is the time!
Taking advantage of the moment when the female ghost was stunned, Zhou Suyao immediately wiped off the curse knot on her body with her backhand. At the same time, in front of Qi Jie and everyone's horrified gaze, she grabbed Qi Jie's hand, scratched his fingertips with her nails, and smeared the hot blood from his fingertips on her eyebrows.
"Zhou Suyao!!" Qi Jie instantly understood her intention—she wanted to destroy herself! Using herself as bait to attract the evil spirit army!
Realizing what Zhou Suyao was about to do, a wave of overwhelming fear instantly gripped him, an emotion more suffocating than the oppression of the underworld. He roared, instinctively trying to break through the crumbling barrier and stop her.
But it's too late.
In a flash, Zhou Suyao, who had lost the Evil God Technique, suddenly burst out with Yang energy all over his body, not to mention the fresh and warm pure Yang blood between his eyebrows - to the evil spirits around him, this was no different from a torch in the darkness, a feast of Yang energy in front of them.
The situation got out of control in an instant.
The delicate balance between the four people and the red-clothed female ghost was disrupted in an instant. The evil ghosts that rushed forward not only blocked the red-clothed female ghost's attack on the four people, but also, due to their large numbers, instantly broke the female ghost's magic spell to control the group of ghosts.
boom!
The huge Yin Qi fiercely counterattacked and hit the female ghost, knocking her over. At the same time, this Yang Qi explosion like thunder in the dark night and the uncontrolled ghost tide instantly attracted a large number of startled ghost soldiers.
Chaos broke out completely.
Zhou Suyao gritted her teeth, trying to erect a protective barrier, even if it was just to block a few more attacks. But by then, her spiritual power was already depleted. A faint spiritual light flickered from her fingertips, then suddenly extinguished the next moment—her dantian was empty, her spiritual power completely depleted.
Now it will really become a thin and salty piece of dried salted fish.
"Zhou Suyao! Get back into the barrier!" Qi Jie's eyes were bloodshot. Although the suppression of the underworld had already made him exhausted, the anger boiling in his chest and a sharper, unfamiliar fear tightly wrapped around his heart like poison ivy - he couldn't bear to watch her stand in front of everyone, especially right under his nose, using his blood to attract the attention of those evil spirits.
The blood rushed to his head, but he didn't care. He smashed the barrier in front of him with one punch and rushed out desperately, with only one thought in his mind.
She was just a weak woman, and she was the one who needed to be protected by him.
But he forgot that outside the barrier, evil spirits were rampant. If Zhou Suyao had not used that risky move to attract most of the firepower, they would have been torn to pieces the moment the barrier was broken.
"Qi Jie, are you crazy?!" Ming Luo screamed, his face pale. Qi Shuobei beside him also gasped, and was helpless for a moment.
Zhou Suyao's eyes went dark, and she was about to cry without tears - even a hero saving a beautiful girl should be done in a certain situation! She really wanted to rush over and grab this stupid thing's head to see if it was filled with old-fashioned male novels with the hero saving the beauty, or some brainless overbearing CEO novels.
Now, even the last bit of room for survival was completely destroyed by this punch of his.
The situation suddenly became worse. Zhou Suyao's two fists were no match for the hundreds of ghosts. With just a moment of negligence, she felt a sharp pain in her waist. The ghost soldier's cold spear had pierced through her lower abdomen from behind.
The pain came so suddenly and completely that she didn't even have time to think carefully. When she lowered her head in disbelief, all she saw was a long blade of a ghost soldier that had pierced her body, dripping with hot blood and a cold gleam.
"If I had known I'd be skewered and turned into charcoal-grilled salted fish... I should have extorted twenty baskets of osmanthus cakes from the chef first..."
Zhou Suyao thought helplessly, with a self-deprecating arc at the corner of her mouth.
All the strength in her body was drained away in an instant. She felt powerless and fell straight down.
"Suyao--!" Mingluo's shrill cry was drowned out by the ghostly howls. She was already surrounded by danger, with evil spirits pouring in like a tide. Without even the slightest chance to cast a defensive spell, she could only frantically wave her magical weapon.
Qi Shuobei was in equally dire straits. As the Qi family's only Guangming Daoist, his heavy meteor hammer was incredibly powerful in single combat, but facing this endless swarm of evil spirits, the bulky weapon's range and efficiency became its fatal shortcomings.
Qi Jie, the only one still able to hold on, was greatly weakened by the oppressive forces of the underworld. He watched helplessly as Zhou Suyao was engulfed by the waves of evil spirits, but he could only wield a defensive golden light in her direction in vain, only to be entangled by more evil spirits, unable to move an inch.
Zhou Suyao was completely oblivious to the three men's anxious roars and fierce fighting. The moment she landed heavily on the ground, warm blood quickly spread beneath her. Countless ferocious ghostly figures pounced upon her, tirelessly biting and pounding at the crumbling golden shield surrounding her.
Endless darkness and severe pain continued to devour her sinking consciousness.
Just before his consciousness completely sank, a vague light and shadow seemed to flash by.
An extremely beautiful face, but one distorted with shock, anger and anxiety, suddenly broke into her distracted vision.
His brows were furrowed, and his beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with anger. This face... was...
...Senior Brother?
Is this an illusion...
Or...did she finally see the gods?
Is the eldest brother really a god? She said she was not wrong.
A man as bright and clear as the moon and as pure as the breeze must be a god in heaven.
But the face of this immortal was covered in blood, as if it was disfigured.
No way! How could she see a god?! Is she really dead?!
Bang——!
The sound of the slap was so clear that it even drowned out the various screams and howls of ghosts and wolves around.
In Zhou Suyao's remaining consciousness, a faint, almost inaudible complaint with a hint of gloating passed through:
Fan... Fan well, big brother...
It would be best to blow out all those… overbearing CEO novels… that have entered the mind of this distinguished Second Young Master of the Qi Family…
Darkness completely swallowed everything.
