Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!

Chapter 268: Chapter 183: Contract Ghost (Fourth Update)

“Wait, I am your husband.”

Su Jie immediately corrected himself, while taking a step back. @@novelbin@@

Unexpectedly, Han Ruyan also took a step forward.

As Su Jie spoke, the blood dripping from his forehead began to slowly seep into the space between Han Ruyan’s eyebrows.

“My husband!!!”

The next moment, Han Ruyan took Su Jie’s hand, and the clothes he wore transformed into the festive ancient wedding attire. The palm Han Ruyan held felt like touching a block of ice, devoid of any human warmth.

Su Jie’s mouth hung open, not expecting things to go so smoothly.

As the blood infiltrated Han Ruyan’s forehead, a red phoenix crown and brocade robe wedding dress fluttered within Su Jie’s sea of consciousness, and he successfully bound a contract with the Ghost Bride, Han Ruyan.

But it seemed that, due to the limited space in the sea of consciousness, the presence of the Ghost Bride there began to push out the connections belonging to the Lantern Ghost and the Painting Woman that were already present.

Even the connection between Su Jie and the Ghost Bride felt highly unstable because of the domineering nature of this fierce ghost.

It was at this time that Zou Minzun arrived with a ghost army in front of the pavilion, witnessing everything with his own eyes.

This was a blow to Zou Minzun that was no less than a direct cuckoldry.

It must be known that the Ghost Bride, Han Ruyan, was someone he painstakingly nurtured, even going so far as to sacrifice East Victory City for her.

In the end, it was Su Jie who benefited; Su Jie, who had come out of nowhere and contracted her.

His face instantly darkened, as if a sunny sky was suddenly overwhelmed by a mass of dark clouds, his painstaking efforts rapidly turning into deep resentment.

“How dare you steal my possession, even if your Sect Master came, I would still extract your soul and light a lamp with it.”

Fury overtaking his heart, Zou Minzun’s voice rose from low to high, increasingly roaring, his face gradually turning green and his neck swelling as if ready to explode, clearly revealing his rage.

“Our Sect Master is right here; you’d probably be running away so fast.”

Su Jie felt no perturbation within; after all, the Sect Master of Ghost Ridge Palace was of the Taoist Platform Realm. If Zou had the audacity to say this to Sect Master Zhang Junwei’s face, Su Jie would indeed respect him as a real man.

“Wait until I catch you, and we’ll see if your mouth can still be so tough.”

Zou Minzun spoke no further, and the ghost army surrounding Su Jie began to close in from all directions.

Han Ruyan turned around slowly; her exquisite face was devoid of color, a pale visage, with waterfall-like black hair falling to her hips and lifeless eyes that showed no sign of a living person, her mouth slightly opening and closing, seemingly whispering something.

Zou Minzun, standing far away, couldn’t hear her, but Su Jie, standing nearby and holding hands with the Ghost Bride, heard that it was a verse exclusive to wedding days.

“First bow to heaven and earth, to respect the vast skies and the land, to joyously unite as one.”

Han Ruyan’s voice was plaintive like a sob, and the approaching ghosts, one after another, showed uncontrollable expressions of joy on their faces, as if they were celebrating the union of the new couple, Su Jie and the Ghost Bride.

“Second bow to the high hall, the nurturing kindness heavy as a mountain.”

When Han Ruyan said this, a sorrowful and crying expression appeared on the faces of the many ghosts, as if they were playing the roles of parents, reluctantly bidding farewell to a daughter who was getting married.

“Heavenly Spinning Jade Light Body.”

Su Jie seemed to understand something; known as Beichen Chui Xiang, surrounded by all stars, it was the Creation Mechanism, the sovereign of gods and humans, asserting authority over the Three Realms, ruling over All Spirits.

And according to what Zhong Shiguan had said, the All Spirits that the Heavenly Spinning Jade Light Body could command did not refer to spiritual beasts, but to Spirit Bodies.

Naturally, ghosts were included in the category of Spirit Bodies.

In other words, Han Ruyan, the Ghost Bride transformed from the Heavenly Spinning Jade Light Body, was naturally the emperor among ghosts, bearing the commanding authority.

“The couple bows to each other; it’s a match blessed through three lifetimes, a match made in heaven.”

As soon as Han Ruyan uttered these words, one ghost after another suddenly knelt, facing the direction of Su Jie and Han Ruyan.

But there were ghosts who remained unmoved, many fifth-grade fierce ghosts either trembling or frozen in place, avoiding kneeling down.

Those sixth-grade fierce ghosts, including four such as the Nine Sons Ghost Mother, showed resistance to the Ghost Bride and joined forces to launch an attack on her.

The first to launch an attack was the Ghost Mother.

Ghost infants ran over, and the Ghost Mother herself flapped her belly, intending to breed ghosts within the Ghost Bride’s body.

Logically, as the Ghost Mother was a sixth-grade fierce ghost and the Ghost Bride merely fifth grade, the Ghost Bride should have been suppressed.

But the reality was the exact opposite; the deathly pupils of the Ghost Bride saw through the past, and several ghost infants fell to the ground with a thump, dying silently.

The Ghost Mother continued to advance, tearing open her own abdomen, from which ghost infants began to crawl out.

However, before her action was complete, her facial expression started to twist uncontrollably, the left half of her face laughing wildly, while the right half cried in sorrow. Her body also started to change with this intense contrast, filled with more and more deathly aura and seeming to wilt away.

Normally, the Ghost Mother wouldn’t be so weak, but near the Ghost Bride, she seemed to have a special aura of weakening. Any ghost that got close to her would have their strength significantly reduced, and the greater the gap between their powers, the greater the weakening.

Roar!

Like a crab, the tall Sword Labor Ghost, wielding two meat cleavers, sent out slashes. Despite the great distance, these landed directly on Su Jie and the Ghost Bride, aiming to dismember them.

In front of Su Jie, numerous pale corpse hands surged out from flesh, only to be neatly severed under the invisible blade light, broken ends smooth and clean as they fell to the ground like dead but twitching snakes.

The blood-red light ripple from Han Ruyan’s red wedding dress she wore lit up, and the invisible blade light that touched the wedding dress simply extinguished upon contact.

As Han Ruyan’s palm caressed the blood-colored wedding dress, the skin of the crab-like Sword Labor Ghost began to tighten, changing into a red wedding dress, constricting the ghost’s flesh and bones, shrinking inward continuously.

The unimpressive Headless Ghost stepped forward.

Facing the Ghost Bride, he lifted his hands, and a red line appeared on Han Ruyan’s neck.

The Headless Ghost sought to transplant Han Ruyan’s head onto his own neck.

But immediately after, the phoenix crown atop Han Ruyan’s head shone with a faint ghostly gleam.

The phoenix crown was beautiful and majestic, worn by Han Ruyan on the day she was married, adorned with a phoenix head gold hairpin, a phoenix flower hairpin crown, jeweled, and interwoven with gold and silver threads forming a golden phoenix and twenty-four varying flowers. Its phoenix mouth held a long tassel, from which a step-shaking amulet dangled.

At that moment, the phoenix crown on her head seemed to come to life, like a Heavenly Phoenix spreading its wings, but the pearls that represented its eyes were lifelessly dim.

Suddenly, the flesh of the Headless Ghost’s neck ignited, turning to fuel, burning fiercely and spreading upwards from below.

This was a black Netherworld Fire, which even the sixth-grade Fierce Headless Ghost scrambled to retreat from, unable to evade in time.

The last Starving Ghost was even more brutal. He was gaunt, his face pale, his eyes sunken, looking like a skeleton, always munching on something in his mouth.

The moment it approached the Ghost Bride, the lower jaw of the Starving Ghost dislocated, his mouth ripping open wide, and he began to chew and swallow frenziedly.

On the body of the Ghost Bride, rows of teeth marks and bite marks appeared, and the Starving Ghost was stronger than the Headless and Sword Labor Ghosts, and even the Nine Sons Ghost Mother.

For the first time, Han Ruyan retreated, and the other sixth-grade fierce ghosts seized the opportunity to break free from control, the Sword Labor Ghost escaping the grasp of the wedding dress, the Headless Ghost extinguishing the fire, and the Ghost Mother’s facial expression returning to calm.

Fierce ghosts are notoriously difficult to kill, let alone sixth-grade fierce ghosts.

Even though Han Ruyan was fighting against four sixth-grade fierce ghosts, being powerful was not enough to guarantee victory, especially as she was only fifth grade herself.

If she were a sixth-grade fierce ghost, then these sixth-grade fierce ghosts might not be enough for her to hammer once. However, she was not at that level yet.
