At the words “you are Zhou Manqing,” the malicious ghost, which was filled with resentment and wanted to dismember Chi Shuyan, became even more agitated and howled mournfully. That sound was as bleak and desperate as it could be. Its bloodshot eyes were red.
It was a pity that ghosts didn’t cry or have tears. That mangled flesh and deformed head trembled from time to time.
If Chi Shuyan had still been a little hesitant earlier, she was now certain that the other party was indeed the real Zhou Manqing. Although she had guessed that the real Zhou Manqing had died at Zhou Manning’s hands, she didn’t expect the real Zhou Manqing to die so tragically.
One could imagine how ruthless Zhou Manning was.
Chi Shuyan had never taken Zhou Manning seriously before, but now, she felt a chill in her heart. Sometimes, humans were indeed more terrifying than ghosts.
Chi Shuyan approached, narrowed her eyes and continued, “You’re the real Zhou Manqing, right?”
Zhou Manqing did regain some of her senses at first, but not long after she was recognized, she wailed. When she thought about how the woman in front of her was a Celestial Master hired by that woman, Zhou Manning, to deal with her, she immediately roared in anger again, her eyes red, and the black aura of resentment around her surged. She lost her senses and took advantage of the moment Chi Shuyan was deep in thought to suddenly counterattack. Her hand turned into a claw which swiped at Chi Shuyan’s stomach.
Although Chi Shuyan was lost in thought, she was constantly paying attention to the movements of the malicious ghost in front of her. Seeing the other party make a move, she subconsciously was about to act, but when she thought of how the other party was the real Zhou Manqing, she hesitated a little.
Just then, a pair of strong hands suddenly wrapped around her waist and lifted her away. Qi Zhenbai quickly kicked the ugly malicious ghost away. “What are you thinking about at this time?”
The malicious ghost lunged at Qi Zhenbai again when it missed, its claws immediately swiping at his abdomen.
Chi Shuyan was agile and was about to make a move, when there was an explosion in the air, and a bolt of lightning as thick as a baby’s arm fell to strike the malicious ghost’s head.
Chi Shuyan swiftly took out a large stack of Lightning Escape Talismans and Concealment Talismans, and threw them at the malicious ghost’s head. She also threw out the white jade from around her neck. The white jade glowed with a golden light and was barely able to block the lightning. However, the malicious ghost was still seriously injured and directly spat out blood before turning into a limp mass!
Chi Shuyan had thrown the white jade out subconsciously just now, and actually regretted it a little as soon as she did so. This white jade was her only and most important trump card.
The white jade blocked the lightning and only returned to her when it was over.
Chi Shuyan stared nervously at her white jade, afraid that there might be cracks. After staring at it for a while and seeing that it was indeed fine, and that it was even glowing with the light from the lightning from time to time, she heaved a sigh of relief before she hurriedly put it back around her neck.
Wait!
Was Qi Zhenbai still around?
Chi Shuyan subconsciously looked at the man next to her. Seeing that he was only looking at her worriedly and not inquisitively, Chi Shuyan felt a little uncertain. “This… This jade… My master gave it to me! It can be considered a treasure!”
Qi Zhenbai didn’t pay attention to the jade. After confirming that his wife was fine, his hands trembled before he said coldly, “It’s good that you’re fine!”
Chi Shuyan suddenly thought of the lightning just now, which had been as thick as a baby’s arm. Tsk!
As expected of Heaven’s son!
If anyone dared to touch this man, even the heavens would help chop them up!
Chi Shuyan didn’t forget to keep an eye on the real Zhou Manqing, whose scarlet eyes were filled with fear as she looked at Qi Zhenbai.
Chi Shuyan saw that she had spat blood and was badly injured, but at least her soul hadn’t been scattered. However, she had to recuperate for a while. Chi Shuyan didn’t make a move, but said to the other party, “Go. Since Zhou Manning killed you back then, you can naturally take revenge. But you can’t kill her tonight!” In any case, she had taken the money. After changing the subject, Chi Shuyan ignored the other party’s stiff face and continued, “In the future, you can kill her whenever you want. If you need anything and want to talk about it, you can look for me!”
