Chapter 44: Dharma Protector Jiang Ming, Luo Youdu Lan

Keke haha, Chen Yuan, you indeed came; this Dharma Protector thought you wouldn't come.

Yin Gui Sect Dharma Protector Jiang Ming is amidst the ghostly qi; here, there is the formation he set up, ghostly qi swirling, myriad ghosts howling.

Those dead mortals he refined into evil ghosts, now baring fangs and claws, staring at them, ready to devour them at any moment.

Jiang Ming pointed to the bound Chen Chusheng behind him; Chen Chusheng, suspended in midair, had fallen into a coma, or rather, a seal had been placed on him, preventing him from waking. Below Chen Chusheng stood a girl—this was Jiang Ming Dharma Protector's disciple Luo Youdu Lan.

The master and disciple stared at the approaching Chen Yuan and Shang Yingnian; they were full of confidence, victory already in their grasp.

"Chen Yuan, if you don't want your son to die, kneel."

Chen Yuan stared at the Yin Gui Sect Dharma Protector Jiang Ming; he would not kneel. The Jiang Ming of the Yin Gui Sect—no, all members of the Yin Gui Sect lack credibility and reputation; they are sinister and deceitful, using any means to achieve their goals.

This time, Chen Yuan miscalculated; he never expected Jiang Ming to actually… act against his own eldest son. This person is truly shameless.

"Hmph, Jiang Ming, I know exactly what kind of person you are. Release my son, or else I don't mind killing you."

"Hahaha." Jiang Ming laughed loudly to the heavens.

"Chen Yuan, do you not see the situation? If so, let this Dharma Protector tell you: your son is in my hands. If you don't obediently kneel, I will make your son wish he were dead."

"Youdu Lan, attack."

Luo Youdu Lan bowed with clasped hands and said: "Yes, Master."

She drew out a black mass of qi, a clump of ghostly qi, a clump of compressed Yin Gui vengeful souls.

"You dare, Jiang Ming."

"Attack."

Jiang Ming reacted even faster, pressing his hands to the ground and grinning: "Ten Thousand Ghost Formation, arise."

"Myriad ghosts, enjoy your blood feast."

"Howl howl."

"Eat you."

"The taste of flesh and blood, so fragrant; eat you, we will eat you."

"It's mine, all mine; don't try to take it from me."

These evil ghosts rushed toward the two of Chen Yuan and Shang Yingnian; Shang Yingnian said: "Old brother Chen Yuan, go rescue Chusheng; I will block these evil ghosts."

"Thank you, Elder Brother Shang."

Shang Yingnian stepped forward, flung his arms out, and his clothes exploded.

Revealing a muscular physique; despite his fat appearance, beneath his clothes lay this build.

"Keke haha, perfect to try out my blade on you."

"I haven't lifted a hand in years; today, let these evil ghosts know that Longshe Cheng is not something you can violate."

"Overlord Fist."

"Boom—"

One punch, the earth shattered.

Another punch, the evil ghosts collapsed.

The surging blood qi directly shattered the evil ghosts' bodies.

Those evil ghosts were also scattered by the powerful blood qi.

Shang Yingnian was like a wolf entering a flock, unleashing a slaughter.

Chen Yuan seized the opportunity to move forward, rushing toward Chen Chusheng.

"Jiang Ming."

The Yin Gui Sect Dharma Protector Jiang Ming scoffed: "Hmph, Chen Yuan, you're still the same."

"To deal with you, this Dharma Protector specially laid out this formation; do you think you can escape it?"

"Evil ghosts, block the way."

"Evil ghosts, obstruct his path."

Chen Yuan drew his sword; sword qi crisscrossed, tearing the evil ghosts apart.

"Ah—ah—ah."

Luo Youdu Lan's yin ghost energy mass was stuffed into Chen Chusheng's body; the intense pain caused Chen Chusheng to utter anguished cries.

His body and soul began to be eroded by the ghostly qi.

To torment him, to change him.

Chen Yuan's face changed: "Damn it, how dare you."

"Hehehe." Jiang Ming sneered: "You aren't the one who hates us Yin Gui the most? Then I will, right before your eyes, turn your son into a Yin Gui, Chen Yuan."

"This scene is too amusing; come, try to stop this Dharma Protector."

The first clump of ghostly energy was shoved in; Luo Youdu Lan then shoved in a second clump.

She did as previously agreed, continually tormenting Chen Chusheng.

To provoke Chen Yuan, then make him irritable, causing him to lose reason.

Their plan was exactly this from the start.

To torment Chen Yuan in body and mind, making him watch helplessly as his son becomes a Yin Gui—then would he kill his son?

This scene will surely be exciting.

"Hahaha, Chen Yuan, watch your son turn into a Yin Gui properly."

"This Dharma Protector very much wants to see the scene of you father and son killing each other, treating it as retribution for the harm you caused me back then."

Back then, he was off by one move and lost to Chen Yuan.

He almost got abolished.

Fortunately, he had many tricks and escaped disaster.

This time, he wants revenge.

The cruellest revenge is to sever Chen Yuan's rear.

First, starting with Chen Chusheng, then the other children.

He wants to torment Chen Yuan bit by bit, make him break down, make him go mad, then make the Chen Clan collapse; then he can effortlessly capture Longshe City.

Longshe City cannot be taken head-on; the Chen and Shang clans are not easy to handle; with his strength, a frontal attack would be just like before.

"Ah—"

Chen Chusheng's wails kept ringing out, stimulating Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan looked at the endless evil spirits before him, killing one after another, yet could not finish them off.

These evil spirits feel no pain, are not afraid of being smashed; the formation's ghostly qi is rich, constantly repairing their ghostly bodies.

Under the suffusion of ghostly qi, these evil spirits cannot be killed.

"Chen Yuan, rest assured and go to die; my Ten Thousand Ghost Formation was specially prepared for you."

"And you, Shang Yingnian, I didn't expect you to come as well, hahaha."

"You all come together; then all of you must die for me."

"Ten Thousand Ghost Tide."

Evil spirits covered them.

In the pitch-black formation, there was nothing but evil spirits.

"Hahaha."

Jiangming Dharma Protector laughed up to the sky; he finally killed these two people, his enemies, the two who had humiliated him; this time, he thoroughly killed them.

"Crack!"

The formation showed a gap.

Jiangming watched as the formation shattered with a bang, and he was dazed.

"This?"

"What happened?"

"Why the Ten Thousand Ghost Formation?"

"Damn it."

Those evil spirits broke free of their restraints and rushed toward Jiangming.

The evil spirits with red eyes bared their fangs and claws.

"Net Secluded Capital Orchid."

"Disciple here."

"Take Chen Chusheng away."

Jiangming clasped his hands together, and ghostly qi swelled on his body.

"Night Demon."

Behind him, a towering yin ghost rose—a huge evil spirit without a head.

Night Demon is the title of this headless evil spirit.

"Suppress."

"Exterminate."

"Hum."

The Night Demon clasped its hands together, making the same motion as Jiangming.

As the hands clasped, all nearby evil spirits had their souls scattered.

"Jiangming, take your life!"

Chen Yuan's sword.

Shang Yingnian's fist.

They had arrived before his eyes—one sword, one fist.

"Crack!"

The Night Demon appeared cracked, having taken the two's full-force blow, and the cracks on its body kept splitting.

"Pfft."

The Night Demon finally shattered; Jiangming followed with a spurt of blood, his face turning fierce: "Chen Yuan, Shang Yingnian, you forced this upon me."

"Blow up!"

Chen Yuan shouted, "No! He's going to self-destruct!"

Shang Yingnian quickly retreated.

"However."

The explosion did not sound.

The two looked up; there was no trace of Jiangming before them.

"Damn it, we've been tricked, Chen junior, chase!"

"They can't get away."

The two set off in pursuit.
