Chapter 206: Battle
"Die!" I shouted at Chen Xiong, throwing the Copper Coin Sword at him with my left hand, while charging forward with the Frying Pan raised in my right hand.
Chen Xiong looked down on me, standing motionless in the empty building.
To my surprise, the Copper Coin Sword hit Chen Xiong squarely.
"This!" Hitting Chen Xiong so easily was truly unexpected; after all, he was a Ghost King. How could he be struck so effortlessly?
However, the Copper Coin Sword indeed struck Chen Xiong, piercing through his chest like a javelin before falling onto the ground covered in shattered glass, producing a crisp sound.
I couldn't help but stop, hesitant to advance recklessly. Just then, a chilling Yin Wind swept past me from behind, followed by a cold voice ringing in my ears.
"You have killed so many of my brothers; I will make you wish you were dead!"
The sudden voice sent a shiver down my spine. Almost instinctively, I swung the Frying Pan behind me. But when I turned around, I found nothing but emptiness; aside from the dim surroundings, there wasn't a single figure in sight.
Chen Xiong had been dead for at least ten years. However, Guo Yongjia had made him a paper effigy. I guessed that my Copper Coin Sword had struck the paper body of Chen Xiong, while his soul had left his body when the sword hit.
"You little brat! When I was dominating the world, you weren't even born yet!"
The cold voice echoed from behind me again, sounding as if it came from Hell itself, sending chills down my spine. I hurriedly swung the Frying Pan once more toward my back.
But just like before, this time too it struck nothing but air.
"Asshole!" I couldn't help but shout loudly, "If you have the guts, come out and fight fair! Hiding and sneaking around, what does that count for?"
He definitely didn't know that I had been holding in a lot of anger.
"Is that all you've got?"
As soon as the words left my mouth, I felt as if my body had been struck by something heavy. Before I knew it, I lost my balance and fell to the ground.
This was not good.
You see, the ground was already covered with shards of glass. After I fell, my body was pierced by several sharp pieces of glass.
"Looking for death?"
Chen Xiong floated above me, and it was only then that I saw his true form.
If a person looks a certain way when they die, then their ghost will look like that after death.
Floating in mid-air, Chen Xiong was a one-armed old man with a head full of messy hair that looked like a bird's nest. At the same time, he was bare-chested, and on his dark chest were several knife scars. Most notably, he had no lower body; it looked as if he had been cut in half at the waist, and the severed edge appeared quite mangled.
I widened my eyes and looked at the disabled ghost Chen Xiong, unable to help but ask, "The thirty-eight police officers in the cemetery—did you send someone to do that?"
"So what if I did? So what if I didn't?" Chen Xiong sneered at me, his aged face wrinkled tightly together.
"That's true!" I slowly got up from the ground, shook off the glass shards from my clothes, then looked down and smiled as I said, "It doesn't matter whether you did it or not; what's important is!"
As I said this, I slightly raised my head and smiled at Chen Xiong, saying, "The important thing is, today, you must die once more!"
After finishing my words, I reached into the Bloodstained Bag with my left hand and took out six Small Yellow Flags, throwing them towards Chen Xiong. If Chen Xiong had a paper body, my Small Yellow Flags might not have been able to trap him, but since he voluntarily abandoned his paper form, I just needed to treat him as an Evil Spirit.
The six Small Yellow Flags flew past Chen Xiong at high speed and then adhered to the ceiling in the shape of a hexagram. At the same time, I pulled out six soul-restraining talismans from the Bloodstained Bag and quickly threw them beneath the six Small Yellow Flags.
At that moment, with my Heavenly Eye activated, I could clearly see a hexagonal cylindrical light binding Chen Xiong tightly inside.
Is this all there is to the Ghost King?
Having captured the Ghost King's underling, he is just an old ghost!
Holding the Frying Pan in my hand, I leaped up and swung it down towards Chen Xiong's body.
However, something unexpected happened!
Chen Xiong suddenly opened his mouth and shouted loudly, "Kill!"
The enormous sound was deafening, shaking the entire building as if it were trembling. At almost the same time, the Small Yellow Flags on the ceiling and the six soul-restraining talismans on the Ground were ignited by Ghost Fire. I felt my body grow heavy; his roar seemed to increase the gravity around me. While I was suspended in mid-air, I suddenly felt an unusual weight and then heavily fell to the Ground.
The Small Yellow Flags and talismans were ignited by Ghost Fire—this was something I had never encountered before. However, Chen Xiong didn't give me a chance to be surprised; he opened his mouth and suddenly lunged down from above.
In a panic, I swung my Frying Pan at him. However, a bizarre scene unfolded: Chen Xiong's body suddenly transformed into a mass of Ghost Fire. When my Frying Pan swung through it, it scattered the Ghost Fire, which then reformed right in front of me.
In that moment, I saw a head emerge from the Ghost Fire. It was as if Chen Xiong was reborn from flames; he emerged from the swirling Ghost Fire and opened his mouth wide to bite down on my nose.
I wanted to block it, but it was already too late! If he bit me, it would be completely over.
It was like a ghost drinking wine from the human world; what it drank was the wine's Spiritual Energy. A wine glass that had been drunk from by a ghost looked like it still contained plenty of wine, but in reality, it had lost its essence and was almost like plain water.
The same went for those bitten by a ghost. If a ghost bit a person's heart, that person would suddenly have their heart stop beating and die on the spot. And if Chen Xiong bit my nose, I would surely lose my sense of smell forever.
Just as I thought this, he was about to bite my nose. I couldn't think of any better way to react, so I opened my mouth and spat directly at Chen Xiong's face.
"Damn!" Chen Xiong cursed angrily and suddenly turned his head, returning to the Ghost Fire group.
The spit I had launched flew towards the Ghost Fire group and instantly passed through it.
I didn't expect this old ghost to be quite particular about cleanliness; in fact, a mouthful of spit posed no threat to a ghost at all.
But right now, I couldn't worry about that. I quickly retracted my right hand and swung the Frying Pan to scatter the Ghost Fire group once again. Just like before, after being dispersed by me, the Ghost Fire group quickly reformed behind me and then burrowed into the ground.
I stood there nervously holding the Frying Pan, listening intently. I knew that Chen Xiong could pop up from the ground at any moment, so I dared not let my guard down.
Stepping on the broken glass made a squeaking sound, which meant that even if Chen Xiong didn't show his face, he would know my location. I cautiously walked on the shards while keeping both hands on the Frying Pan and scanning my surroundings.
The entire twenty-sixth floor felt very empty since Chen Xiong had shattered the glass walls with his roar. A strong cold wind formed a whirlwind throughout the floor, blowing around the broken glass on the ground and creating a constant whistling sound that greatly affected my ability to hear.
I carefully turned around on the twenty-sixth floor for quite some time, but Chen Xiong still did not appear. He clearly wanted to torment me; death itself wasn't scary, but the process of waiting for death was terrifying.
Chen Xiong was slowly wearing down my willpower, torturing me with fear and anxiety.
I understand all of this, but I feel helpless.
After a while of thinking, I realized that I was being too passive and needed to come up with a plan. So, I reached my left hand into the Bloodstained Bag, carefully feeling around inside, hoping to find some inspiration for dealing with Chen Xiong.
As I rummaged through, I found the Ghost Seal.
After recalling Rooster and Chickenshit with the Ghost Seal, I had kept them in the Bloodstained Bag. I guessed that both Rooster and Chickenshit were injured, which is why I hadn't used them much; I wanted to give them some time to gather their scattered souls.
However, at that moment, I had no way to deal with Chen Xiong. He was hiding underground and wouldn't come out. The best way to determine his location was to respond with violence.
After hesitating for a while, I took out the Ghostly Seal Jade Pendant. I lightly tapped it with my left index and middle fingers a few times, and then a flash of white light appeared as Chickenshit's body slowly materialized beside me.
She looked somewhat exhausted, her robe was torn in many places, and there was even a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth.
"Are you hurt?" I asked in surprise. Can ghosts get injured? Do they bleed?
Upon seeing me, Chickenshit managed to force a smile. "Smida, I'm not feeling well today. You know how it is for women... cough cough... those few days every month. Once these days pass, I'll be fine."
She looked extremely pale, and I could even see that the hem of her skirt was stained red with blood.
It was clear that Chickenshit was seriously injured; it seemed that Zhang Bingqing from the Elevator was indeed formidable.
Nodding slightly, I prepared to put Chickenshit back into the jade pendant. However, at that moment, Chickenshit suddenly widened her eyes and lunged at me.
She is a ghost, and I'm human. If she pounced on me, wouldn't that mean she would possess me?
Seeing her suddenly pounce towards me, I even suspected that this guy had ulterior motives, thinking I was weak and trying to seize my body.
At that moment, I hurriedly raised my right hand, placing the Frying Pan between her and me. However, everything developed too quickly; Chickenshit landed directly on the Frying Pan, and then the Frying Pan moved, causing me to stumble back several steps.
"Looking for death!"
A cold voice suddenly rang out. Immediately after, standing where I should have been, Chickenshit trembled all over, and then a mass of Ghost Fire suddenly rose from beneath her feet. Within the Ghost Fire, a large mouth opened wide, almost instantly swallowing Chickenshit's feet, then her thighs, then her waist, and finally her chest.
"Bastard!" I was furious and rushed forward, pulling out a talisman with my left hand and pressing it against my palm before grabbing Chickenshit's hand.
At that moment, the Ghost Fire had already risen up, engulfing most of Chickenshit's body. Her hand tightly gripped mine as she shook her head at me and said, "Dear, whether you believe in my loyalty or not, I want to tell you that since I've followed you, my life has already belonged to you. To die for you is my honor!"
After she finished speaking with a smile, she pulled her small hand out of my palm.
"No!" I shouted loudly.
Just a second ago, when I saw her pouncing towards me, I misunderstood her intentions, thinking she wanted to possess my body and that she still intended to harm me. But now I realized I was wrong; if she hadn't pushed me away, it would have been me being consumed by the Ghost Fire!
In addition to slowly feeling guilty towards Chickenshit, I surprisingly felt a twinge of reluctance!
As I watched the Ghost Fire swallow up to her shoulders, I screamed loudly, "No!"
