Chapter 135: Liu Chuxia Ambushed
Before, Liu Chuxia had realized that when ghosts and monsters were about seven or eight meters away from her, their strength would drop significantly.
And as her own strength grew, the strength of those ghosts and monsters would drop even lower.
Liu Chuxia looked at Hong Ji with a wicked smile. She was clearly very excited, like a weasel that had seen a chicken.
She hadn’t dealt with this kind of thing for the past two months. Now, seeing one so strong, Liu Chuxia was still very excited.
She could finally fight with all her might. Before, when she was training with Li Hanyan in the training room, she had been holding back a bit. But now, she didn’t have to.
Liu Chuxia rushed forward first, a glint in her eyes. It was clear that she had been holding back for a long time.
When she got close to Hong Ji, Liu Chuxia swung her hand, and the Zhenxie Sword flared with a brilliant golden light. It was clearly also very excited.
Hong Ji immediately retreated a little. She used her hair to block Liu Chuxia’s strike.
Liu Chuxia pursued relentlessly. She really wanted to know how powerful Hong Ji was. She had even seriously injured Hanyan before.
Liu Chuxia tapped her toes and quickly moved, chasing after Hong Ji, who was trying to escape.
Hong Ji was a little afraid of the person behind her, especially when her aura had been fully released just now. She could feel that the righteous qi in it was very thick.
Liu Chuxia used five tracking talismans from behind and rushed towards Hong Ji.
Hong Ji defended with her hair while fleeing towards the stairs.
Unfortunately, Li Hanyan was already standing there.
She self-ignited ten Soul-Extinguishing Talismans. These talismans were all made from the Jiang family’s talisman paper, so their power was stronger than ordinary talisman paper. After all, it was three times the original power.
Hong Ji didn’t notice at first and thought it was just an ordinary talisman paper. Then she was blasted back a long way by the chain of explosions.
And Liu Chuxia behind her just happened to swing her sword down, cutting her on the back, and then kicked her forward.
Hong Ji finally knew what it felt like to be a ball. She quickly got up from the ground and defended herself with her hair.
Liu Chuxia looked at her with a sneer, and five Soul-Burning Talismans had already appeared in her hand.
With the talismans, Liu Chuxia’s talent, and the properties of the Jiang family’s talisman paper, this was not something a ghost could withstand.
When the ashes of the five talismans landed around Hong Ji, a large fire quickly ignited.
Instantly, the entire third floor was brightly lit by the fire.
And Hong Ji, hiding in her hair, looked at the large fire outside. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was not right. If this fire continued to burn, she was afraid she would really die here.
She immediately used an art to contact the ‘Master.’
“‘Master,’ save me.”
“You know, I don’t take in useless things.”
“‘Master,’ just this once, just this once. I’m begging you. For the sake of all the things I’ve helped you with, please help me.”
But the ‘Master’ cut off the connection.
No matter how many times Hong Ji tried to contact her with her art, there was no response.
She should have known. The ‘Master’s’ heart was cold. Her only warmth was given to that so-called wife.
The fire slowly died down, and Hong Ji’s most proud hair was also burned clean. Now, she had lost her only ability to fight against Liu Chuxia.
“Hong Ji, right? You were the one who seriously injured my Hanyan before?”
Liu Chuxia asked in a cold voice.
Then she walked towards Hong Ji with her sword.
Hong Ji looked at her, her eyes devoid of any light. She had lost all will to live.
“It was me. If you want to kill me, just kill me.”
“Hah, you really want to die so cleanly? To end it all?” Liu Chuxia took out a red talisman paper.
This was the modified Contract of Fate Talisman by Xiao Xu, exactly the same as the one for the Skin-Changing Ghost.
“The contract is established, the mark is formed, the soul shall not depart, forever to follow, the contract is formed!”
Liu Chuxia quickly finished chanting the incantation. The talisman paper self-ignited in response, and then red and golden lights appeared.
The red one entered Hong Ji’s body, and the golden one entered Liu Chuxia’s.
The good thing about this talisman paper was that it no longer required those things from the ghosts. As long as it was thrown at a ghost, that ghost would be forcefully bound by the contract.
This thing definitely could not be leaked out. There was also a mark on it. This was for Liu Chuxia’s exclusive use. Others couldn’t use it.
Even if it was stolen, Liu Chuxia was not very worried. It couldn’t be used, and it couldn’t be imitated. This thing was just a piece of waste paper to others.
When Hong Ji saw a red ball of light enter her body, she immediately felt several invisible chains tightly binding her, and then her consciousness slowly faded.
Liu Chuxia locked her in the cage. It wouldn’t kill the ghost, but it would definitely be a torment.
Li Hanyan ran over. “A Xia, you looked so cool just now. So heroic!”
“Let’s go. Finding the ‘Master’ is the important thing,” Liu Chuxia said, a little embarrassed. She took Li Hanyan’s hand and walked towards the fourth floor.
“Mhm, indeed. Then what are you going to do with Hong Ji?”
“I plan to use her as my fighter later on. If she’s disobedient, I’ll put her in the cage and torment her. Anyway, I have enough healing talismans.”
Liu Chuxia said, looking at her in response.
“That’s a good idea. If I encounter one in the future, I’ll also get some. It’s a real pity to kill these powerful ghosts. It’s better to let them create value.”
Liu Chuxia nodded in agreement.
And outside, Liu Chu had already let the disciples into the bookstore. Another part of the disciples was outside, killing the ghosts that had run out.
Among them, the Flying Head Fiends were the most numerous, flying around everywhere, making it very difficult to fight.
So Liu Chu took out all the talismans she had saved and let them use them.
—
Liu Chuxia found Jiang Jiajia and the others in the conference room on the fourth floor.
The few ghosts were all lying on the sofa, a little weak.
“What’s wrong?” Liu Chuxia asked, walking to Xiao Xu’s side, holding her hand, and turning to look at Jiang Jiajia.
“I don’t know. We just found our way here. The moment we came in, we saw them like this. They can’t say anything when we ask,” Jiang Jiajia replied with a frown.
“Let’s put them in the bottle first. I feel the ‘Master’ has used some kind of art.”
Jiang Jiajia nodded, took out a bottle, and first put Xu Fanzhen and Bai Fei inside.
Just then, Li Hanyan suddenly spoke up, “Xiao Xu seems to be in more pain than them.”
She walked to Xiao Xu’s head, gently lifted her eyelid, and saw a completely red eyeball, with many red blood vessels in the white part, as if they were radiating from the eyeball.
And the moment she lifted the eyelid, a thick yin energy spread from Xiao Xu’s body.
Li Hanyan quickly let go of her hand, but the yin energy did not recede. Instead, it became thicker and thicker.
Liu Chuxia was quick and put her in the bottle, then used another bottle for Ke Yan.
She didn’t dare to lock these two ghosts together now. Xiao Xu’s condition was too strange.
“Let’s go. We can’t delay. We’ll talk about Xiao Xu’s problem after we’ve dealt with the ‘Master’.”
The group’s mood was actually not very good, but they all nodded, forcing themselves to cheer up.
Liu Chuxia and the others found the ‘Master’ in the lounge of the dining room on the fourth floor.
The moment they pushed open the door, they could see complex red runes drawn on the floor of the entire dining room.
And the lounge was where the ‘Master’ was performing her art. It was filled with various talismans and magical artifacts.
There was also a large pot, with something dark and murky boiling inside.
The smell in the entire dining room was really not good. The group was almost nauseated.
“Hah, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. You’re finally here.”
The ‘Master’ was sitting on the sofa, reading a book.
She looked up and said to them with a smile.
The group was a little shocked. They hadn’t expected the ‘Master’ to be so young. After all, she had been sealed for thousands of years. No matter what, she couldn’t be too young.
But the facts proved that some things couldn’t be judged by imagination alone. You had to see it with your own eyes to know what it was like.
“You’re the ‘Master’?” Liu Chuxia asked with some uncertainty.
Just then, Liu Chu and the other family heads also broke in with their disciples.
Liu Chu walked in front of Liu Chuxia and blocked her.
“‘Master,’ stop. you won’t win this battle.”
The ‘Master’ looked at her with some disdain. “Just because of that woman behind you? She does look quite like Ning Xia, but it’s hard to say if she has her strength. Don’t be like Ning Xia and get seriously injured by a fierce ghost’s sneak attack. Hahahahaha.”
With that, the ‘Master’ flew up and quickly made a hand seal. Instantly, the entire dining room was filled with a gloomy wind.
Even the sky outside became more overcast.
Liu Chu and the few family heads quickly set up a protective formation to protect the disciples, and then they all flew up one by one.
Liu Chuxia was a little envious. To be able to fly, that was really like cultivation.
But now was not the time to think about these things.
She immediately burned a Purple Thunder Talisman.
She felt a large portion of her Daoist arts drop, but it didn’t affect her subsequent battle.
Lightning immediately appeared in the sky, followed by bursts of thunder. Purple lightning could be clearly seen in the dark clouds.
After about a minute, one after another, purple lightning bolts struck beside the ‘Master.’
As for the ‘Master,’ she looked at the dark clouds in the sky with some disdain. “Hah, just this broken thunder. Do you really think I’ll be afraid?”
As for the ghosts and monsters in the protective formation, they didn’t have the ‘Master’s’ ability. They were all scattered by the purple thunder.
They were all flying around in a panic.
And it was the first time the disciples had felt the power of a talisman. The Liu family disciples held their heads up proudly.
The Jiang family disciples were envious.
The other two families either showed disdain or were jealous.
Zhang Wanfeng didn’t want to be with these people at all. They were all like idiots. They had no ability themselves, yet they dared to point fingers at others.
She walked to Liu Chuxia’s side. “Chuxia, are you okay?”
“No. Isn’t Dr. Han with you?”
“She’s downstairs, bandaging the disciples’ wounds. I came up to take a look.”
“Oh.” Then she turned to look at the few people in mid-air. “What are Mom and the others talking about?”
“I don’t know about that. It’s nothing more than settling old scores. Let’s clean up these ghosts and monsters first. Lest we have to come back and deal with them later. The big one is in the back.”
“The ‘Master’ still has some tricks up her sleeve?”
“Do you really think she only has this little trick?”
Liu Chuxia’s expression immediately turned serious. She had thought that as long as Mom was here, they wouldn’t have to worry about anything.
But things seemed to be much more serious than she had thought.
“Liu Chu, do you think I’ll be afraid of just a few of you? Really. If I don’t show you some color, do you really think I’m the same as before?”
The ‘Master’ smiled sinisterly. A lot of yin energy suddenly appeared on her body, and then she flashed and disappeared.
The few family heads didn’t see where she had run off to.
It was Patriarch Jiang who reacted quickly. “Damn it, the children!”
He quickly flew back.
Liu Chu also quickly followed behind.
The other two also followed behind.
By the time the few family heads returned, the disciples below had already suffered heavy casualties.
Among them, the Zhang and Xiao families were the most miserable.
As for Liu Chuxia and the others, they were fighting fiercely with a few fierce ghosts.
Liu Chu and the other family heads wanted to go and help, but the ‘Master’ suddenly appeared in front of them.
She slapped old man Xiao on the back with one hand. Seeing the person fall straight down, her smile widened.
“It seems you can’t beat me. Hahaha.”
The ‘Master’ quickly flashed and hid again.
Liu Chu’s eyes sharpened. She took out her sword and five tracking talismans appeared in her hand. Although the ‘Master’ was not a ghost, she was now possessed by yin energy, and the tracking talismans would think she was a ghost.
As expected, in a few seconds, the five tracking talismans reacted, but they all rushed towards Liu Chuxia.
Liu Chu immediately knew what the ‘Master’ was trying to do.
“Don’t even think about it!”
She flew towards Liu Chuxia with all her might, but she was still a second too late.
The ‘Master’ slapped Liu Chuxia on the back with one palm.
Liu Chuxia wanted to react, but it was already too late. The few fierce ghosts also took the opportunity to attack.
One of them even pierced through her abdomen with its hand.
Other than the heart-wrenching pain, the biggest feeling Liu Chuxia had was that her life was rapidly draining away.
She fell to the ground, her eyes open as she saw Li Hanyan run over with tears in her eyes.
“A Xia!!!!” Li Hanyan fiercely killed the few fierce ghosts and immediately ran to Liu Chuxia’s side.
“A Xia, you’ll be fine. You’ll be fine. Don’t be afraid.”
Jiang Jiajia and the others also rushed over. Seeing Liu Chuxia’s miserable state, their tears also fell.
Then they fought hard to kill the fierce ghosts that were surrounding them.
Liu Chu’s eyes were wide with disbelief. Ning Xia had left her. Now, even her own daughter was going to leave her?
No! No!
She charged at the ‘Master’ with a fierce determination, unleashing all the skills she had learned in her life.
It was a completely reckless fighting style.
Even the ‘Master’ was a little overwhelmed.
After a few hundred rounds, Liu Chu found a flaw and stabbed at the ‘Master’s’ chest with her sword.
Then she kicked her away.
At the same time, she also flew out and fell heavily to the ground.
Then she was unconscious.
As for the ‘Master,’ she vomited a mouthful of blood. She stood up and walked steadily to the kitchen.
She activated the great yin-absorbing formation.
Patriarch Jiang and Patriarch Zhang were still helping the disciples clean up the fierce ghosts.
Suddenly, they felt that something was not right. They turned their heads and saw the ‘Master’ sitting in the center of the formation.
They quickly flew over to stop her.
On the other side, Li Hanyan was holding Liu Chuxia’s body, not letting anyone touch it.
