Chapter 259: Scattered by the Wind

As soon as Tong Yuai's words were out.

The entire place was filled with question marks.

If he weren't completely unable to move, Wu Xian would have gone to make a few sarcastic remarks.

The Great Ghost Luo Wang's brain also almost crashed; he couldn't understand the information he heard from her mouth.

"Don't you have a child? Because that child wasn't your husband's biological child, you were retaliated against by your husband and forced to come to Luo Wang Island to die..."

Tong Yuai shook her head.

"Because I am infertile, we adopted a child. Otherwise, what did you think? Why would the child not be my husband's biological child? Did I have an affair?"

That was exactly what the Great Ghost Luo Wang had thought.

Everyone else had thought the same thing...

"As for his retaliation, it has nothing to do with the child. He used to be a good man, but after he became addicted to gambling, he changed. I wanted to divorce him before I got involved, but he refused to let go no matter what..."

Tong Yuai's words.

Dealt a huge blow to the Great Ghost Luo Wang's spirit; for a moment, he was actually speechless.

However, he reacted immediately.

He didn't have much time left to escape; he couldn't waste time discussing family matters with her, so he revealed a vicious expression.

"Even if you don't care about your child, you must care about your parents."

"They raised you; can you bear to watch them get involved because of you, haunted by nightmares from now on, their spirits pushed to the brink of collapse, only able to stay slightly awake by self-mutilation..."

The scene described by the Great Ghost Luo Wang was very cruel.

But after hearing this, Tong Yuai laughed again. This time, even she felt it was a bit absurd.

"You might not know, but... I am an orphan."

"?"

Tong Yuai's expression was slightly sad.

"Precisely because I am an orphan, I know how painful it is to have no parents. Therefore, after seeing that look in Xiao Bao's eyes, which was exactly the same as mine when I was little, I took myself as his mother!"

The Great Ghost Luo Wang opened his mouth.

Now he regretted choosing Tong Yuai.

To know the true situation of a person, one cannot just look at the surface; one must understand deeply.

This was a principle almost everyone understood.

But when it came to the application level, very few people could actually do it.

The Great Ghost Luo Wang had been deceived by Tong Yuai's weak appearance, leading him to make a rash judgment about Tong Yuai while lacking key information, thinking he could easily manipulate her, which was why he had placed himself in such a passive situation.

Since he couldn't rely on Tong Yuai to escape, Luo Wang could only rely on himself.

He exerted effort to stick out his tongue, tearing the root of his tongue, so that his tongue could reach the ground, and then, using the strength of his tongue, he crawled laboriously toward one side of the room.

As long as he could roll off the cliff, he could also escape from the hands of these humans.

He wasn't worried about Tong Yuai hurting him.

Because this woman had no means to kill a ghost.

Seeing the Great Ghost Luo Wang's humble way of escaping, Tong Yuai laughed again.

She didn't use the handle of the horsetail whisk to stab Luo Wang, but threw his head away, not because she was afraid and didn't dare to act, but because only by throwing the head to that side could she find a way to kill Luo Wang.

Actually, she didn't need to explain to Luo Wang just now why she wasn't afraid of his curse.

The reason she said so much.

Was to stall for time!

The Great Ghost Luo Wang was laboriously moving forward with his tongue when he suddenly heard a sound from behind his head.

Plop...

Plop...

It was like someone using their arms to push against the ground and then dragging their body forward.

But Luo Wang now only had a head left; he couldn't even turn his head, so he could only hear the sound but couldn't see the scene behind him.

The closer the sound got, the more Luo Wang's scalp tingled.

At this moment, he was like a mortal, dominated by unknown fear; the thing behind him became incomparably terrifying in his imagination, so he could only try his best to use his tongue to move forward, looking even more wretched than a drowned dog.

Just as he was about to reach the edge of the cliff.

He finally saw the hope of survival.

Suddenly.

Tong Yuai held Luo Wang's head with both hands and turned him in another direction. This warm palm was bone-chillingly cold to Luo Wang.

After changing direction, Luo Wang finally saw the pursuer behind him, whose speed was only slightly faster than his own.

A skull covered in cracks, half a shoulder with shreds of meat, a fingerless hand holding a fragment of a dagger...

This was exactly the Skull Evil that had been shattered by the Great Ghost Luo Wang earlier!

"It's him! How could it be him!"

The Great Ghost Luo Wang's heart was instantly filled with immense fear and unease. His only thought now was regret—regret that he hadn't finished off the Skull Evil.

He had shattered the Skull Evil with his damage-reflection shield earlier and then ignored it, because in his view, this skull no longer posed any threat to him!

But now, this Skull Evil was about to take his life!

The restraint power released by Luo Wang before his death was only effective against creatures of a lower level than him, but the essence of this Skull Evil was an "Evil Spirit." Although it hadn't fully formed, it was enough to be immune to his restraint power!

And this Skull Evil was also the only way Tong Yuai could find to kill Luo Wang.

"Wait, we are both ghosts; those mortals are our enemies. Why should we..."

The Great Ghost Luo Wang tried hard to persuade the Skull Evil.

Squish!

The dagger fragment mercilessly pierced into the Great Ghost Luo Wang's eye socket!

The Skull Evil had no other thoughts; the only thing it knew was battle, constant battle!

Pfft, pfft, pfft...

Between two heads and one arm, the most tragic battle of the night erupted.

The Skull Evil stabbed the Great Ghost Luo Wang's head again and again—eye socket, temple, cheek, nose... every strike would spray a burst of blood, until the head was cut into a shape that couldn't be recognized, and only then did the Skull Evil stop temporarily.

Clatter!

A burst of light dispersed!

Luo Wang exploded into a pile of miscellaneous items: some incense, some statues, some incense burners. Most of them emitted silver light, and a small number even glowed with gold!

The appearance of the loot meant that the Great Ghost Luo Wang was finally dead.

Whew...

Wu Xian shivered and realized he could finally move. The restraints on everyone had vanished without a trace. They gathered in front of the remaining bones of Luo Wang, smiles appearing on their faces.

This time, it was truly over.

After killing Luo Wang, the Skull Evil turned its head and crawled slowly toward Wu Xian and the others. After becoming a ghost, it no longer recognized Wu Xian and the others, who were once its comrades-in-arms.

It was not dead yet.

The enemy was not dead yet.

Therefore, the battle was not over.

Everyone gathered around it, their expressions sorrowful.

Wu Xian looked at Sun Qian, and Sun Qian nodded. With a solemn expression, he pierced the thousand-year peach wood sword into the Skull Evil's skull. Accompanied by a flash of red light, the Skull Evil finally stopped moving, and its head and arm turned gray-white.

"Thank you so much for being able to survive today. Now that the battle is over, you can stop."

After Wu Xian finished speaking, he bowed slightly to the Skull Evil.

A cold wind blew, and the skull scattered with the wind, leaving only a little residual incense on the ground...
