The dragon devoured one python after another, and then transformed them into its own power.
Upon seeing this, the Ghost King immediately decided to turn his attention to Jiang Yuan.
In an instant, the spirit of the lamp trembled.
Countless streams of black energy emanated from the Ghost King's body and rushed towards Jiang Yuan, and the Ghost King also charged forward.
In the past, it would never have gone up personally, but things are different now.
The rapidly growing spider lilies seemed to have a mind of their own, blocking the Ghost King's path.
The black energy within the Ghost King's body materialized into a hand, which grabbed the branch of the spider lily and tore it apart.
The moment it was torn open, the spider lily transformed into soul fire, scorching the Ghost King's hands.
The Ghost King was taken aback.
These flowers were also transformed from soul fire?
The Ghost King looked up and stared in astonishment at Jiang Yuan, who was being protected by the spider lily.
Is this really Jiang Yuan?
What kind of cultivation did she undergo in such a short period of time?
How did you make such rapid progress?
Even it, which has dealt with her for over a thousand years, can't figure out her true strength.
Black mist covered the burning arm, but to the Ghost King's disappointment, the soul fire was not extinguished and continued to burn the hand it had conjured from resentment.
How could this be!
Even it couldn't extinguish this flame!
Jiang Yuan put her fingers together and muttered something under her breath.
The soul fire burned rapidly and spread outwards.
In an instant, the entire lamp spirit was scorched by the soul fire.
"How could this be, how could this be..." The Ghost King was stunned.
Has Jiang Yuan cheated?
How could she possibly...?
"Destroy!" Jiang Yuan said coldly.
This "extinguish" sound was even softer than usual, as if it were extinguishing something insignificant.
Snap—
The sound is produced by rubbing your fingers together.
Soul fire gathered around the Ghost King and Ning Chi, burning them.
The Ghost King let out a miserable scream.
It is merely a wisp of resentment. Even though it shares a soul with Ning Chi, that soul is only meant to enable it to think and have independent consciousness. In reality, it is still a product of the resentment of people's hearts. It is not afraid of pain and has no sense of pain.
But when it was burned by this blue soul fire, it actually felt the pain that humans should feel.
How could it possibly feel pain?
It is something born unconsciously, formed naturally by heaven and earth.
Before meeting Ning Chi, it didn't even have a shape; it was just a wisp of black mist.
Why--
"Why, why, ah—" The Ghost King looked at Jiang Yuan, who was floating in front of him, and asked in astonishment.
It hurts so much, it hurts so much.
It has always hated human weakness and disliked humans, thinking that they are the most cowardly and easily manipulated things in the world.
They have so-called weaknesses, and they are not smart. A few words can easily provoke them. As long as you amplify the resentment in their hearts, they will not be able to suppress it and will vent all their resentment. But truly powerful people are able to suppress their resentment.
But most people don't.
No, it's not that none of the people it has seen in the past thousand years have ever done this.
They are so cowardly.
But now it seems to have become just as cowardly as they are.
It actually hurts?
The pain is from being burned?
"Because you're weak," Jiang Yuan mocked.
The Ghost King transformed into Ning Chi's appearance, his dark, resentful eyes fixed on Jiang Yuan, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "I'm weak?"
It was so powerful that a bunch of vengeful ghosts under its command surrendered to it.
It is so powerful that it is immortal.
Jiang Yuan actually called it weak, saying that one could have anything one wanted immediately?
Where does it falter?
It's clearly very strong!
Jiang Yuan actually said it was weak!
"To control others by amplifying their resentment is simply weakness."
"They only know the same old tricks, manipulating people's hearts. Isn't that just weakness?"
"Even if you don't have any physical contact with the other person, your resentment can still affect them, but in a live stream with tens of millions of viewers, not many people are affected. Isn't that just being weak?"
Jiang Yuan said with a cold, mocking tone.
The stronger a person's or thing's self-esteem, the less it can withstand such a blow.
She didn't know how many people were in the live stream, but she estimated there were probably tens of millions.
This number is huge; it's already quite large.
However, she did not sense any powerful resentment in the world, meaning that the netizens watching the live stream were not affected by the resentment.
If those netizens were influenced by their resentment, H City would be in chaos and bloodshed right now.
Just like the Li Kingdom, which was affected by resentment a thousand years ago.
"You're saying those weak people weren't affected by the resentment?" The Ghost King was stunned again.
Ning Chi is his other half, and the resentment in him is the same as his resentment.
His resentment could affect others, but Jiang Yuan said...
No one was affected by his resentment?
How is that possible?
Its resentment is very strong; anyone who gets even a little bit of it will develop resentment.
The longer resentment accumulates in one's heart, the more terrifying it becomes when it erupts. People may lose their minds because of their resentment and impulsively kill or do other extreme things.
It's so powerful, how could it...?
"You've never been to the mortal world, have you?" Jiang Yuan asked when she saw the Ghost King's stunned expression.
The Ghost King remained silent.
Its only chance to leave the lamp spirit and go to the mortal world was ruined by Jiang Yuan.
"It's bustling and lively there, even more so than in Liguo. It's decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, with a constant flow of traffic. There are many beautiful pieces of jewelry and lots and lots of delicious food."
"In addition, there is a police station just like the government offices, and... a comprehensive legal system. There are cameras everywhere on the streets and in the alleys. Newborns' fingerprints are also entered into the police station's system when they are named. They all have a number called their ID card, which represents them as individuals."
