Chapter 543: Soul Flies Away
“Hehehe——”
A terrifying smile spread across the room. The ghost baby was covered in a black mist. Its bloody mouth was grinning, its eyes were squinting, and its facial expression was ferocious and terrifying.
When the people of the Meng family saw such a thing, they felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar. Their whole bodies were cold and they froze in place, unable to move.
"How ugly." Zhong Nianyao couldn't help but frown and complained, "Master Zeng's aesthetic taste is really not that good."
Although this ghost baby is really pitiful, it has no consciousness of its own and is just a killing machine in its heart. If it is left alone, who knows how many more innocent people will die.
Lu Yichen stood beside Zhong Nianyao and nodded in agreement, "It is indeed very ugly. If you don't like it, then don't look at it."
Although the ghost baby had no consciousness, it could still sense the terrifying power of Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao through its instinctive awareness. Therefore, without the slightest hesitation, it attacked the Meng family directly.
Compared with Zhong Nianyao and the others, the Meng family was like meat on a chopping board, at his mercy.
With a bloody mouth wide open, he rushed towards the Meng family, as if he wanted to swallow all of them and use them as his own nutrients.
"ah--"
Seeing the ghost baby rushing towards them, the Meng family knew they had to dodge. However, their feet were completely out of their control, as if nailed to the spot, unable to move at all.
Just when the ghost baby was about to attack them, a white and tender little hand grabbed the ghost baby.
Zhong Nian Yao looked at the ghost baby she had caught, and a hint of disgust appeared on her face.
Originally thinking he'd devour these pesky people and become even more powerful, he was suddenly captured. The black mist surrounding the ghost baby grew even thicker, and his eyes, a terrifying red as if weeping blood, stared directly at Zhong Nianyao, his mouth still roaring softly as he struggled to move forward and attack her.
Looking at the appearance of the ghost baby, Zhong Nian Yao curled up a dangerous smile at the corner of her mouth, then swung her hand and threw the ghost baby out with force.
“Aaaaaaaaaa——”
The ghost baby was thrown directly against the wall, and the strong ghost energy on his body was also dispersed a lot. He let out a series of painful screams.
The sound echoed in the room, sharp and piercing, causing waves of pain in the eardrums.
Such a sound made the Meng family's heads hurt, and they subconsciously covered their ears. However, they still couldn't block the attack of the devilish sound that pierced their ears.
"It's so noisy."
Zhong Nian Yao frowned, and then threw a talisman at the ghost baby.
The black air lingering around the ghost baby, when the talisman was thrown at it, seemed to have met its nemesis and immediately dispersed in all directions.
The ghost baby's screams became louder and louder. He struggled desperately, trying to avoid the attack of the talisman, but he could not move at all.
Looking at what was happening in front of them, the Meng family members were trembling with fear.
After a sharp wail, the ghost baby finally broke free from Zhong Nian Yao's restraints.
However, the black mist surrounding him had almost dissipated by then. His body, which had originally been somewhat black, gradually became somewhat transparent, a sign that his soul was about to be torn apart.
After breaking free from Zhong Nian Yao's talisman, the ghost baby attacked Meng Ruikai with lightning speed.
No one expected such a sudden change to happen, and Meng Ruikai, the person involved, was unable to react and just stood there in a daze. It was not until a piercing pain in his shoulder did he come to his senses.
"Richai."
Father and Mother Meng shouted and were about to rush forward to save their son.
Now their daughter’s life or death is in danger, and if something happens to their son, they don’t know how they will live in the future.
After waking up, Meng Ruikai immediately began to dodge to avoid the ghost baby's attack.
Zhong Nian Yao took a step forward and slapped the ghost baby with the talisman in her hand again.
“Aaaaaaaaaa——”
The sharp sound once again pierced the eardrums and hurt them.
This time, Zhong Nian Yao acted as if she had heard nothing. She grabbed the struggling ghost baby again, threw it directly to the ground, and then began to form seals with her hands.
Golden light appeared at her fingertips and then fell directly on the ghost baby.
The golden light directly enveloped the ghost baby. The ghost baby seemed to be in great pain and kept struggling and rolling in the golden light.
Even so, he still had no way to leave the cage made of golden light.
The black mist on the ghost baby became thinner and thinner, and his shadow gradually became transparent.
At the moment when the black mist completely dissipated, the ghost baby, which had originally had a ferocious look, had now fully recovered. It looked like a four or five-month-old baby, fair and clean, and very adorable.
As he fully recovered, his figure spread out like fireworks, and then disappeared between heaven and earth.
"Oh——" Zhong Nian Yao couldn't help but sigh.
Although the ghost baby had been eliminated, Zhong Nian Yao did not feel happy at all. Instead, she felt a vague melancholy and helplessness.
It’s not that she didn’t want to let the ghost baby go, but there was really no other way.
As early as when Master Zeng refined this ghost baby, he was already destined to have only one ending. Aside from the scattering of his soul, there was no other way. This ghost baby could no longer even be called a ghost, but rather a collection of resentment.
If something like this remains in this world, it means killing.
"Don't overthink it."
As if sensing that Zhong Nianyao was not in a good mood, Lu Yichen stepped forward, gently patted her shoulder, and said soothingly, "This has nothing to do with you. You have done well enough."
"I'm fine." Zhong Nianyao shook her head and said, "I just feel a little regretful. It's because of Master Zeng that so many innocent lives were killed. He's really wicked!"
"He won't have a good ending." Lu Yichen said calmly, "Now his soul has been taken to the underworld for trial. For all the things he has done, after suffering the punishment of the eighteen levels of hell, I'm afraid he will be reincarnated in the animal realm countless times."
Zhong Nianyao nodded in agreement.
