Chapter 311: The Cowlick Little Taoist Master Is Also Getting Stronger Today 06

"What heavy ghostly aura!" Liu Tian Shi sighed.

Madame Gu opened the door, tears streaming down her face again.

These days she has been washing her face with tears; seeing her daughter's current miserable state makes her want to cry.

"Come in."

Upon seeing the girl on the bed, everyone looked reluctant.

She lay on the bed, skin and bones, her eyes dull as she stared at the ceiling, her complexion pallid, yet dark circles under her eyes.

The strangest thing is the girl's bare arms, from fingertips to forearms, covered in dense black stripes, like straightened, distorted characters.

When someone entered, Gujing merely stared stiffly upward, having no inclination to look over.

Madame Gu choked out: "Originally we thought she just had a strange illness, but at the hospital nothing showed up, the doctors found it odd, and even a highly respected old Chinese medicine doctor suggested we find someone with extraordinary abilities to figure it out, and only then did we realize it was an evil possession."

Liu Tian Shi immediately took out his sect's Dharma treasure, probed the bedroom, and muttered an incantation.

Xiao Liu also took out a chessboard-shaped Dharma treasure, hovered by the bed, as if probing something.

Jin Chen watched their actions, then turned his head to glance at the big sun outside the window, his mouth twitching slightly.

"Wuyang."

"Hey!"

"Go pull the curtains."

"Oh."

An Wuyang obediently went over and pulled the blackout curtains; instantly the room plunged into darkness.

In just an instant, the yin energy surged again.

Liu Tian Shi's compass in his hand began to shake, the needle trembling wildly.

He could barely hold it, so he quickly bit his finger, mobilizing his arcane power to suppress the rampant ghostly aura, his expression somewhat panicked.

This vicious ghost is far more formidable than he imagined!

"Madame Gu, please wait outside for now; it's too dangerous in here," An Wuyang hurriedly said.

"Eh... okay."

Madame Gu gazed at her own daughter, reluctant to leave, and sighed as she went out.

Seeing the two composed, Liu Tian Shi couldn't help but think: "Fellow Daoists, we're both here for the money; this vicious ghost is truly ferocious, and even before it appears, the ghostly aura is already so thick—why don't we cooperate?"

"For 3 million, we split six-four, we get six, you get four."

An Wuyang was about to agree, but Jin Chen gestured for him to be silent, saying, "No need."

Being so clearly rejected, Liu Tian Shi also felt embarrassed, silently cursing their cluelessness, and began examining Gujing's condition on his own.

Xiao Liu Tian Shi also muttered a curse, standing on the other side of the bed.

Although An Wuyang didn't know why he was being scolded, he wasn't angry at all, and leaned close to Jin Chen's ear to say, "They're so earnest."

The next second, Jin Chen pinched his earlobe and lifted it up; it didn't hurt, but it felt strange altogether.

Like a salted fish being hoisted up from a chopping board.

An Wuyang's self-evaluation.

"Don't just idle, go check her eyes," Jin Chen prompted.

"Then could you let me go first?" he unconsciously added an honorific.

Finally released, the salted fish began to move.

He crouched at the head of the bed, carefully observing Gujing's eyes, when suddenly she turned her head and fixed her gaze on him.

"I advise you not to meddle."

An Wuyang shivered, locked eyes with those lifeless pupils, then after a moment tilted his head and said, "Whoa! You're not Gujing now."

Gujing has been possessed by a vicious ghost!

No wonder the ancestral master had me come look at the eyes; someone bowed by a vicious ghost, no matter how well disguised, can be told by the eyes.

This commotion startled Liu Tian Shi and the other; they were first terrified and jumped back from the bedside, but seeing the vicious ghost seemed unable to resist now, they relaxed, shoved An Wuyang aside, and prepared to draw the vicious ghost out of Gujing's body.

An Wuyang had no guard, was suddenly pushed, nearly fell to the ground, but Jin Chen, quick-eyed and quick-handed, steadied him.

"They're still so kind, afraid I'll be hurt by an evil ghost."

Jin Chen: "……"

Isn't the lethal power of an evil spirit that great? It's left the kid addle-brained.

"Stupid." He tapped the boy's head.

Here, Liu Tian Shi and the other suppressed Gujing with their Dharma treasures; the vicious ghost appeared restrained, but its eyes were full of mockery.

After just a few seconds, it lost its playfulness; its stiff arms suddenly straightened, fingertips sprouting crimson long claws, instantly leaving a bloody mark on Xiao Liu Tian Shi's arm.

At the same time, accompanied by Xiao Liu Tian Shi's anguished cry, the vicious ghost lifted Gujing's body aloft, the whole person suspended from the ceiling, countless black silk ghostly aura trailing behind, face pallid, hair black, as if enraged.

"Get out! Stupid Taoist master!"

Liu Tian Shi momentarily lost his footing, hastily forming seals and casting a spell.

"Three Realms guards, Five Emperors welcome... Five Qi soaring, Golden Light appears, Protect the True Person, as urgent as law! Pardon!"

He quickly formed seals, directing the incantation at the vicious ghost, but she easily dodged it.

Strictly speaking, it was the floating ghostly aura behind her that dodged.

"This!" Liu Tian Shi panicked for real this time, never expecting his Golden Light Spell to have no effect on this vicious ghost.

He kept retreating under pressure, his brought Dharma treasures useless, catching sight of the calm Jin Chen watching the spectacle, he pleaded: "Master! I don't want the money anymore—please save my life!"

Jin Chen raised an eyebrow, patted An Wuyang's shoulder with his palm, and said, "It's your turn now."

"Don't be afraid."

An Wuyang gritted his teeth; although the vicious ghost before him was indeed terrifying, he himself had fought a ghost king before, and besides, the ancestral master was here holding the fort.

He summoned the Azure Cold Sword, gripped it with one hand, and with the other hand placed his two fingers together forming a seal, charging toward the fierce ghost.

Jin Chen constantly monitored the battle, assisting from the side, "She has a ghost king's aura; traditional Eight Incantations have little effect on her."

As soon as his words fell, An Wuyang understood his meaning, immediately blending the Azure Cold Sword Technique with incantation technique to unleash greater power.

"Azure light like a shadow, breaking evil and eliminating wickedness……Six Ren and Six Gui, evil ghosts annihilated! Pardon!"

The long sword swung straight, not harming Gujing's body, yet able to thrust sword qi into the fierce ghost's soul.

The fierce ghost let out a sharp scream in pain, just about to dodge and kill this ignorant little Daoist priest, but was suddenly halted by a force containing killing intent.

She, following the sight, saw Jin Chen, unsure whether through this force she recognized Jin Chen's identity; in that moment of stunned hesitation, An Wuyang seized the opportunity again and struck another sword.

The fierce ghost was completely forced out of Gujing's body.

"Wuyang, condense sword qi into bonds." Jin Chen reminded again, also noticing that An Wuyang was beginning to strain; he turned his palm, using his own Spiritual Power to coalesce and transfer it to An Wuyang.

"Azure light like wind, shaking evil into a cage!"

An Wuyang shouted, and the Azure Cold Sword Technique changed its form again.

Sword qi transformed into dozens of phantoms, encircling the fierce ghost in the middle with no escape.

Jin Chen clenched his five fingers, dispersing the ghost qi belonging to Fu Xizhou.

Using a fierce ghost to trap the grain reserves, Fu Xizhou truly does not take the netherworld seriously.
