Chapter 581 - 529: Negotiating with a Ghost_1
"I’ll do it myself!"
The Dark Sky Ghost Lord’s words seemed to be uttered with all the strength he had left.
After the Huang Yan vanished, Bing Ruo in her Red Garment had returned to normal, and at this moment, she was advancing step by step towards the Dark Sky Ghost Lord.
"Bing Ruo..." Enjoy new chapters from NovelBin.Côm
The Dark Sky Ghost Lord began to speak.
But what greeted him was Bing Ruo’s decisive and lethal tactics!
Endless slaughtering!
Bing Ruo at this moment, in a certain sense, had no relation to her original self other than sharing the same appearance.
The real Bing Ruo had been gradually devoured and refined by the Star Extinguishing God Monarch over the span of thousands of years.
...
The massive battle began!
Within the universe, the ghostly aura of Senluo surged wildly. @@novelbin@@
It was as if this corner of the Star Domain had completely turned into the Evil Spirits.
Within the Evil Spirits, the air of death loomed and a gloomy aura was everywhere, sometimes transforming into all sorts of terrifying beasts, fighting and slaughtering each other.
The Dark Origin’s Purple Extreme Ghost Body burst forth from the Dark Sky Ghost Lord, his ghostly power unparalleled, where his fist landed, he could almost shatter all of Bing Ruo’s attacks.
It can be said that in the same Realm, he could probably already be considered an invincible warrior.
After all, he had first obtained the Ghost King Body born from the Dark Origin of the Universe, then benefited from the mysterious yellow smoke, the Purple Extreme Ghost Body further evolving; heaven knows how vast his potential is now.
The Dark Sky Ghost Lord was overwhelmingly superior, but the battle dragged on for a long time.
Because... he kept holding back!
"Bing Ruo..."
The Dark Sky Ghost Lord closed in, already by Bing Ruo’s side, he reached out, capturing Bing Ruo’s hand, but what he grasped was nothing but unending fury and coldness.
He attempted to control Bing Ruo, but was injured by the outburst of ghost power from her, even his Soul Body a bit chaos.
"Tsk tsk, to love and to kill each other, to love and to kill each other!"
The Starfall Divine Master watched the battle, the corner of his mouth revealing a cold smile.
The situation had reached a stalemate for both sides, and he knew that the conclusion was not far off.
He took out an Array Plate, which was carved from a bizarre Heavenly Dao stone by a significant figure from the Divine Realm, capable of awakening the Heavenly Dao Spirit.
—Originally, the Heavenly Dao cannot be deceived, but as eons passed, numerous peerless beings in the Thirty-Three Heavens began to study the loopholes in Heavenly Dao.
The Lower World’s Heavenly Dao became the testing ground for those significant figures.
And indeed, they already had some results.
The ceremony of the Star Extinguishing God Monarch’s enlightenment was an experiment of some significant figures; the success of that ceremony meant that those significant figures had found some patterns of the Lower World’s Heavenly Dao Spirit that they could utilize.
The Heavenly Dao Stone Array Plate was one of their creations.
At this moment, the Heavenly Dao Stone Array Plate slowly activated...
...
"How can we help Xiao Mao Dan?"
Yun Xi watched the battle, her big eyes also filled with sympathy.
The pair from Tian An... were truly pitiful, their fate too cruel.
Reunited after thousands of years, yet in a situation where they must love and kill each other.
"There’s nothing to be done... perhaps, this is Tian An’s own tribulation," Xinning softly sighed, saying,
"Only by cutting off the Three Corpses’ thoughts can one transcend... Although it’s cruel, it must be faced."
Under Li Fan’s influence, and in the small courtyard, Xinning had developed a habit of reading extensively and had become quite learned, perceiving all of this.
Hearing this, Zi Ling pondered and said,
"Yes... this barrier, only Tian An himself can break through. Otherwise, he will always have his demons, his nightmares."
"Even, it could lead to his complete downfall."
As she spoke, however, she turned and left.
"Zi Ling, where are you going?"
Seeing this, Yun Xi asked in confusion.
Zi Ling said,
"This is Tian An’s own challenge. He must face it himself. We really shouldn’t interfere."
"But... it shouldn’t be like this!"
"Loving ghosts unable to end up together, but forced to love and kill each other... none of this should be this way!"
"I’m going to find Master. Master must have a way!"
Hearing this, Yun Xi also nodded, saying,
"I’ll go too!"
The two of them left, while Xinning stood in the midst of the battlefield, hands behind her back.
She observed, for the paths of demons and ghosts are similar, and she was at that moment confirming and understanding something.
The battlefield had entered a deadlock.
The Dark Sky Ghost Lord had countless opportunities to annihilate Bing Ruo.
But in the end, his heart softened each time, giving up the chances, even being wounded all over by Bing Ruo!
"Bing Ruo... can you really not come back anymore..."
The Dark Sky Ghost Lord’s eyes struggled with emotion.
At this moment, perhaps due to the prolonged battle, Bing Ruo completely erupted, lashing out wildly; she no longer targeted just the Dark Sky Ghost Lord but aimed to destroy this entire corner of the Star Domain.
The Dark Sky Ghost Lord tried his best to stop her.
By now, he fully understood that he truly could not save Bing Ruo anymore.
He stood tall and marched step by step towards Bing Ruo.
Bing Ruo’s attacks bombarded his ghost body!
But he no longer dodged, no longer resisted.
"Do you still remember our first encounter?"
"Back then, I was pursued by enemies, forced to walk the path of devouring my own kind to enhance my strength... yet you told me, even as a ghost, one should uphold righteousness."
"You saved me."
He recalled their first meeting.
That was when he was still weak, like a lone ghost without kin.
In the Ghost Domain, filled with ruthless slaughter and heartless strife... darkness and horror were the tones of the domain.
But she was like a lotus in the mud, devoid of cunning and greed, devoid of malice and poison... all she bore was a yearning for goodness.
She seemed as if she didn’t belong to that swarm of evil spirits at all.
Had it not been for her, perhaps the path of Dark Sky Ghost Lord’s entire life would have changed, maybe he would have become a powerful yet evil Ghost Master...
"I have never forgotten that sentence you said... ’In this lifetime, I have never committed an act of injustice.’
Dark Sky Ghost Lord murmured and said,
"Do you still remember the Other Shore Flowers that we planted by hand within the domain of evil spirits... You said if there really was an Other Shore, you hoped it would be a killing-free Pure Land... You once said you yearn for reincarnation, yearn for a clean and pure life."
"Do you still remember when we sneaked into the Divine Realm, just to see the ocean created by the flower deity together... "
"Do you still remember every word you said when you agreed to marry me..."
Covered in wounds, Dark Sky Ghost Lord let a deep tear slide down as he gave a sorrowful smile and said,
"I remember it all."
"I will never forget."
"Bing Ruo, you are eternal beauty, eternal goodness... It was you who taught me to be upright and open, to be even as a ghost, pure and unblemished!"
"Thank you."
As his words fell, the cold tears on his face slid down, he, with his heavily injured body, reached out and embraced Bing Ruo.
In his arms, Bing Ruo erupted with frenzy, nearly penetrating his Purple Extreme Ghost Body completely.
However, the Dark Sky Ghost Lord only revealed a peaceful smile and whispered softly,
"Let’s leave this world clean and pure together."
He was about to self-destruct.
To die completely together with the love of his past days.
"No!"
"Dark Sky Ghost Lord, stop right there!"
Realizing something was wrong, the Starfall Divine Master suddenly cried out angrily!
Nevertheless, he didn’t dare to get closer, for if the Dark Sky Ghost Lord truly self-destructed, the terrifying fluctuations it would produce... he couldn’t withstand them either!
...
At this moment.
In the small mountain village.
The sun was quite nice today, and with nothing much to do, Li Fan took Xiao Bai the cat out of the courtyard.
He wandered around, strolling through the village, and particularly looked at the watermelons in the fields.
Summer had arrived, and they were almost ripe.
He walked into the fields, picked a crisp-sounding melon by tapping on it, and went all the way to the courtyard of Second Elder’s home, chatting with Second Elder while eating the melon.
The melon was sweet and crunchy, the flesh ruby red and delicious. Even Xiao Bai joined in on eating it, to Li Fan’s surprise; he hadn’t seen a cat fancy watermelons before...
Sometimes he wondered if this cat, Xiao Bai, had become a supernatural being.
Both of them talked leisurely about everything under the sun.
"Master, you are here!"
At that moment, Zi Ling’s voice rang out.
She and Yun Xi had rushed back, planning to find Li Fan at the small courtyard, but unexpectedly ran into him here.
Seeing this, Li Fan immediately got up and smiled, asking,
"Where did you go? And where is Xinning?"
Zi Ling replied,
"Reporting to Master... We went to burn joss paper for the ghosts... but something happened!"
Something happened?
Upon hearing this, Li Fan hadn’t taken action yet when Second Elder immediately stood up and said,
"Are those ghosts clinging and refusing to leave? Those are certainly fierce ghosts. I’ll go get the peach wood nails!"
Hearing this, Zi Ling hurriedly shook her head and said,
"No..."
Yun Xi also spoke up, saying,
"Great Demon King, there is a female ghost who has forgotten her past and is about to kill her former lover... What should we do about this?"
When hearing that, Li Fan was shocked.
A female ghost set to kill her former lover??
My God... isn’t that a plot straight out of a horror film?
Some women, after death due to lingering resentment or inability to forget their lover, turn into ghosts and seek to claim lives, often those of their loved ones!
"What... What happened?"
Li Fan couldn’t help but feel scared.
With sympathy filling her eyes, Zi Ling said,
"They were about to get married, the female ghost even had her bridal dress on, when suddenly she was harmed by someone... Now that they’ve met again, she has forgotten everything and become a mindless puppet only capable of slaughter..."
Upon hearing that, Li Fan’s heart leapt to his throat.
My goodness... A bride in her wedding dress turned into a ghost??
In any horror movie, that’s boss-level among fierce ghosts.
Even if Li Fan isn’t superstitious, he has heard that a female ghost in red represents a very bad omen!
This ghost has come back, and she’s out for blood...
"Little Li, this female ghost is no benign spirit!"
Second Elder also urged, saying, "I better go for the peach wood nails!"
But Li Fan hastily said,
"Hold on a moment, Second Elder."
"Let... Let me try first!"
He felt that it’s best not to offend such high-level fierce ghosts recklessly.
Using peach wood nails right from the start would thoroughly antagonize the female ghost, wouldn’t it? If it upset her, and she retaliated by slaughtering the whole village, how would we cope?
Although he had learned the way of talismans, he remained doubtful about the reliability of the System in this domain.
Better safe than sorry.
After thinking it over, he decided the only option was to burn some paper and negotiate with the red-garmented fierce ghost... to let her go!
If that female ghost insisted on causing trouble... then they could always resort to peach wood nails and black dog blood to fight back, and it still wouldn’t be too late.
With that in mind, he immediately said,
"Bring the yellow paper, follow your master."
He was ready to head to the entrance of the village to burn paper for the woman in red.
...
What do you think?
