Vol. 1 - Chapter 20 - I Will Kill You First
Meanwhile, outside the wooden house…
Luo Ruying was suffering from the poisonous haze, but she did not stop attacking Old Ghost. Sadly, the poison was spreading in her body. She was becoming increasingly weak, and her vision gradually turned blurry.
“Hahaha. From the looks of it, I overestimated your, fairy from the Heavenly Realm. If you forcibly use your spiritual energy, the poison will eat you from within. You will start rotting away on the inside and ooze pus until you’re dead,” Old Ghost said smugly to Luo Ruying.
Luo Ruying’s face was becoming increasingly green, and she had lost her powerful aura. He could tell the poisonous haze was doing its job.
Luo Ruying was no threat to him at all!
“Hmph! Before that happens, I will kill you!” Luo Ruying dragged her weak body, took a swift step, and charged at Old Ghost with her sword.
It was easy as pie for someone at the Divine Being realm to catch up to a mortal with a child.
For the sake of Ning Yechen and her daughter, she had to kill Old Ghost, even if it meant dying!
When Old Ghost saw Luo Ruying darting toward him and attacking him with her sword, he was startled.
This was the first time he had seen this. The poisonous haze was spreading throughout her body, but she dared to use her spiritual energy forcibly.
This crazy woman was determined to drag him down before she died!
The moment Luo Ruying’s sword struck, Old Ghost surrounded himself with the poisonous haze. After the sword pierced through the poisonous haze, Old Ghost was nowhere to be seen.
The poisonous haze kept spreading until it surrounded Luo Ruying. All she could see was poisonous haze.
Luo Ruying hurriedly covered her mouth and nose while looking around the poisonous fog.
She had a feeling that Old Ghost was hiding somewhere in the poisonous fog.
A figure moved inside the fog swiftly!
Found him! Luo Ruying kept her eyes peeled and attacked the moment the figure appeared the second time!
Radiant sword light went straight toward the figure, cutting him into two!
Got him! Luo Ruying was delighted.
But the next second, a hand suddenly reached out from the fog and attacked her!
Luo Ruying instantly detected the blow and turned to block it with her sword. But another hand came out from the haze unexpectedly and attacked her abdomen!
“Pfft!” Luo Ruying spat blood, shot out of the haze, and fell to the ground, holding her abdomen.
“Hahaha! You fell for it.” Old Ghost slowly walked out of the fog with a smug and sinister smile on his face.
Behind him stood over a dozen Ghost Corpse Puppets that he had created.
A Ghost Corpse Puppet had hit Luo Ruying on the chest.
Luo Ruying had merely attacked one of the Ghost Corpse Puppets used as a decoy.
It was his principle never to expose himself to danger if he could use his Ghost Corpse Puppets or the poisonous haze.
Luo Ruying struggled to support herself using her sword. Her face was starting to turn green, but she looked at Old Ghost with determination.
“Stop fighting already and just give up. I don’t mind giving you a quick death. I can probably use you as my main Ghost Corpse Puppet.” Old Ghost stared at Luo Ruying’s body and licked his lips lewdly.
He did not want Luo Ruying for sex. Instead, he wanted her body!
Usually, when people at the Human Immortal realm used their spiritual energy after he used his poisonous haze on them, they would have liquefied from the inside and died.
But Luo Ruying showed no signs of liquefying. Her immortal body was incomparably strong!
The mastermind from the Heavenly Realm wanted Luo Ruying dead or alive, so he might agree to give Luo Ruying’s body to him as a reward.
She was perfect for being his main Ghost Corpse Puppet!
Luo Ruying turned her head slightly and looked at the forest behind her reluctantly. Then she turned to look at Old Ghost with determination.
Golden spiritual energy arose in her hair, making her black hair turn silvery white, and her red eyes shimmered brightly!
“Goddess Luo!” Luo Ruying shouted. Behind her, a woman over ten meters tall wearing shimmering golden heavenly armor could be vaguely seen.
The woman opened her glimmering eyes, raised her sword, and casually hacked at Old Ghost!
Old Ghost felt threatened by the female statue. When the sword reached him, he was terrified!
Dozens of rays of sword light came from the attack, and there was no escape.
Old Ghost could only summon all his Ghost Corpse Puppets to stand before him, using them and the poisonous haze to block the blow!
Before long, the sword light swallowed all his Ghost Corpse Puppets. Old Ghost’s poisonous haze was unable to take the attack and was obliterated!
With the attack, an excruciating scream resounded.
The sword light went on for over five kilometers, cutting down everything in its path and plowing a deep sword ditch in the ground.
After making the strike, Luo Ruying was no longer able to stand and knelt using her sword as support!
She was in the Human Immortal realm, but she forcibly used this technique that consumed an immense amount of spiritual energy. The poison from the haze had spread throughout her body.
All she could sense was pain, but she smiled sadly.
Her husband and daughter were probably safe now.
However, she would be unable to look for them.
At this moment, Luo Ruying heard a horrifying voice ringing in the air.
“You certainly live up to your name as an immortal fairy from the Heavenly Realm. You nearly killed me!” Old Ghost dragged his badly injured and bleeding body from the sword ditch slowly.
He looked at Luo Ruying viciously.
If he had not placed and activated the magical item, the Heavenly Silk Armor, in front of him inside the poisonous haze, he would definitely have died under her attack!
Even the Heavenly Silk Armor turned to smithereens in a single strike!
Sure enough, as long as someone was from the Heavenly Realm, even though her cultivation had declined to the Human Immortal realm, he had to be careful.
Seeing Old Ghost still alive, Luo Ruying was stunned. He’s still alive. What should I do?
In her current state, she already had trouble moving, let alone execute a second attack.
However, Old Ghost did not seem to be any better than her, so perhaps she still had the chance to slay him!
Otherwise, if he had the chance to recover, Ning Yechen and Luo Hongye would be in grave danger!
Just as Luo Ruying was about to fight Old Ghost to the death again, a turn of events happened!
Two more silhouettes appeared in the air.
Su Sheng and Lu Jian looked down at Old Ghost from above with looks of mockery on their faces.
“Old Ghost, didn’t I tell you to send a signal if you find them?”
“Don’t tell me you want to steal all the credit?”
“From the looks of it, not only were you unable to steal any credit, but you were even badly beaten up.”
Facing Su Sheng and Lu Jian’s mockery, Old Ghost was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
With his injuries, it was impossible for him to face Luo Ruying alone.
Perhaps Su Sheng and Lu Jian might even attack him while he was weak!
When Luo Ruying saw Su Sheng and Lu Jian, she lost all hope.
These two men were with Old Ghost!
