My Enemy Became My Cultivation Companion-Chapter 855 - 518: Ghost Lord Annihilated (4-in-1 Bonus)

This Tai Sha Sword once belonged to Wang Jian, and thus the Ghost Lord has a deep obsession with it. Now it lies deeply concealed in the box, nourished by the killing aura for a long time. Once unsheathed, it must see blood.

Chen Yi took a deep breath as a crack opened on the sword box, and the crimson Flying Sword slowly emerged.

Wang Jian's eyes flickered with phosphorus fire, as he nostalgically extended his hand, longing to reclaim it, to command millions of tigers and wolves again.

But Chen Yi knew that this Tai Sha Sword was not meant to kill people...

It was to slay ghosts!

"Go!"

The long-concealed killing intent rushed forth without restraint, unprepared eyes of Wang Jian erupted in fury!

First taken by Emperor Zhenwu, then used by Yin Sword Mountain, and finally falling into Chen Yi's hands, this Tai Sha Sword, after centuries, no longer retained Wang Jian's form.

And that Corpse Woman was not the Princess Huayang of his memory, but an innocent, unfortunate girl drawn into a bloody battle.

Chen Yi stepped forward, grasping the Tai Sha Sword, and thrust it straight out.

Destruction Zen Sword!

The blade pierced through Wang Jian's body, bursting into a cloud of blood mist. His face twisted grotesquely as if his soul was being torn to shreds, an endless fury erupted.

"I... will kill you..."

For the first time, he uttered this, his body shaking violently, overwhelming hatred raging uncontrollably,

"I will kill you!!"

At that moment, Wang Jian struggled to unleash a tremendous force, bringing down the great halberd once again.

With a sword in his left hand, Chen Yi deflected the halberd. Wang Jian, unable to stop his momentum, pitched forward. Seizing the chance, Chen Yi leaped onto the halberd's shaft, and his knee hammered into the Ghost Lord's face, causing his flesh to cave in.

As he staggered backward, the Daoist had already grasped the Tai Sha Sword, thrusting it forward again.

"Didn't you want this sword? Take it!"

Thud!

The blood mist exploded, Wang Jian's eyes widened in rage, phosphorus fire burned fiercely. Staring at the Daoist in front of him, he tried desperately to grab the halberd, still wanting to kill...

But his body involuntarily toppled backward....

The phosphorus fire in his eyes suddenly intensified, like a candle flower bursting into flame, flickering once, flickering again, and finally, with a sizzle, it went out forever.

........

The Tai Sha Sword, seemingly long deprived of the blood of demons and evil beings, eagerly raised its tip, like a drunkard savoring fine wine.

However, suddenly surrounded by an aura, the Tai Sha Sword buzzed faintly, as if trembling.

Turning around, it saw Chen Yi staring at it intently, tapping the sword box with his fingers.

The Tai Sha Sword whined a few times, but the man's hand remained relentless. Under the eaves, the sword had no choice but to lower its head, and finally, with a flash, begrudgingly returned to the sword box.

With the complete destruction of Ghost Lord Wang Jian, the corpse soldiers and generals gradually crumbled. This Corpse Valley's yin energy was insufficient to sustain so many Corpse People; it was only under the mischief of the White Lotus Sect, using the Ghost Lord as the formation core, barely managing to sustain it. In the valley, only dozens of Corpse People remained, but knowing to seek benefits and avoid harm, Chen Yi only glanced, and they scattered like birds and beasts.

A cold wind howled through, Chen Yi supporting himself, Daoist robe torn, a chill sweeping through him.

His expression unchanged, yet he saw at the edge of the valley, two female figures suddenly appearing, Dong Gong Ruoshu and Yin Tingxue rushing over quickly.

Soon, they were in front of him.

Chen Yi suddenly shivered and said, "So cold."

Saying so, his gaze turned to Yin Tingxue, hinting with his eyes, after such a big battle, he wished for some affectionate cuddling.

Little Fox knew his thoughts and was about to step forward to hug him, but a red fox fur cloak flew over ahead of her.

"Now it's not cold."

Dong Gong Ruoshu placed the fox fur over Chen Yi, then put her hands on her hips, appearing quite pleased. Evidently, she found the battle just now very exciting, much like in Shantong City, feeling quite involved.

Chen Yi was taken aback, turning to see Yin Tingxue awkwardly stepping back a few paces.

Post-battle, without Little Fox's cuddles, without whispers and murmurs,

Chen Yi covered with the fox fur, suddenly felt it quite tasteless....

Then, he suddenly had a bit of epiphany, was he getting a bit too fond of this Little Fox lately, to the extent of being wrapped around her finger, at her beck and call....

........

Following closely behind Dong Gong Ruoshu and Yin Tingxue, was none other than Miss Shou, who had unfortunately turned into a Corpse Person.

In the Corpse Valley, the thin mist slowly dispersed, Miss Shou's face remained pale, with corpse spots alive on her, her features still decaying. Even so, she still exuded a vitality rarely seen in the dead.

Miss Shou approached Chen Yi with a greeting bow,

"This lady... thanks the City God...."

Having spoken, the phosphorus fire in Miss Shou's eyes dimmed a little. Such ghostly beings, if some obsessions could be resolved, would be much easier to transcend.

Miss Shou opened her hands, still maintaining her bowing posture, head lowered, clearly ready for transcendence.

Yet Chen Yi continued staring at her, and after a while, slowly spoke:

"As they say, help people to the fullest, send the Buddha to the west... do you want revenge?"

Miss Shou jerked her head up, the phosphorus fire suddenly flared up a bit, shining brightly.

This Corpse Woman had been strong-willed in life, and so remained in death. Her lips moved slightly, closing her teeth, she spoke:

"Yes...."

............

Several days ago, in Nanku County, in a teahouse,

Miss Shou had gone missing for several days; the county government had searched exhaustively to no avail. It seems she was lost forever. Not only that, but somehow rumors spread, detailed and vivid. Only a few words told that the missing Miss Shou was quite a beauty, a truly graceful young lady, in her youth, eloping with a servant of mutual affection. Poor old parents cried their eyes out, and even in death, waiting in their graves, they wouldn't see their daughter return home.

Porter Sun Gao, while waiting for business, listened to several peers gossiping about Miss Shou's matter.

During breaks with nothing to do, the favored pastime was to talk at length. Sun Gao found it amusing, but when they spoke of vulgarity and exchanged knowing smiles, he couldn't grasp their meaning.

"What is old tree creeping roots, new tree taking root?"

The porters laughed out loud.

Back-and-forth gossip, telling and retelling, making details vivid. If someone questioned, they'd improve on the spot. If anyone kept digging and exposed the fabrication, it would turn unpleasant, but none of them were foolish enough to do so; after all, it was all made up, so why bother being serious.

Just then, someone patted Sun Gao on the shoulder.

Sun Gao turned his face; the man wore a scholar's cap, dressed like a scholar, and asked:

"Buddy, carrying stuff?"

"Sure, where to?" With business at hand, how could Sun Gao refuse?

"Heading south to Wuchang Prefecture, not many people dare to travel that route now."

Sun Gao hesitated too, having heard of the White Lotus turmoil in the south, not at all peaceful.

"Look at you, haven't gotten married yet, want to save some money to get married?" The scholar took out some broken silver from his pocket, causing Sun Gao's eyes to light up, "Let me clarify, I'm going to rely on a relative who is an official this time, so I'm carrying some baggage. Others delivered to Xiping and don't want to continue south, insisting on finding a few more people. I'm afraid they'll overcharge, so I'm here to find someone, a flat rate, three taels of silver, are you in?"

This was no small sum. Sun Gao swallowed, asking, "Round trip expenses?"

"I'll cover them, including the boat fare."

"Deal!"
