Chapter 64

.

Zheng Zicong shouted ferociously . He sounded like a beast . Mu Yi could tell from his facial expressions that he understood what he said .

Mu Yi wasn’t worried about Zheng Zicong anymore . Zheng Zicong wouldn’t try anything as long as Mu Yi had the copper lamp . He also had three five thunders charms . One of them was for Zheng Zicong .

Zheng Zicong looked extremely strong . He looked like a zombie, but for Mu Yi, he was just an ordinary human being with no strength . A five thunders charms could destroy ghosts easily .

Mu Yi hadn’t kill Zheng Zicong yet because he wanted Xugui to show up . He had to deal with him as soon as possible . If he killed Zheng Zicong, Xugui would leave and he‘d show up someday somewhere else, even stronger . At that time, he would definitely try to harm him again .

The first time, Xugui was lucky . He was able to leave alive . Mu Yi didn’t want to make the same mistake twice . Xugui was smart, he hadn’t shown up even once the entire time . Mu Yi was convinced that he was nearby . He just needed to find out where he was hiding .

Hmph! Aren’t you going to show up? Mu Yi thought . He moved closer to Su Jinlun . He wanted to kill Xugui but Xugui also wanted to kill him . Mu Yi was furious because he was hiding .

If Mu Yi hadn’t been there at that time in the Su Clan, Xugui would have captured Nian Nuer . He would have had her for a long time at this point . He would have raised her in the Ghost King Banner to be a strong ghost but his plans were ruined because of Mu Yi .

Mu Yi understood why Xugui hated him . There was no way he would let Mu Yi off .

Zheng Zicong looked even more impatient as Mu Yi approached Su Jinlun . He didn’t dare try to attack him though because he still held the copper lamp . Mu Yi took out an exorcism charm to use on Su Jinlun .

Mu Yi was vigilant . Su Jinlun had been captured by Xugui for a while, maybe he had made him turn into something evil . Mu Yi had to use it just in case . Exorcism charms only cleansed and forced out dirty elements from people’s bodies . Su Jinlun couldn’t possibly get injured because of it .

Su Jinlun came back to his senses after the exorcism charm landed on him . He groaned but he was still tied to a pillar . Mu Yi knew that untying him would be dangerous . Nian Nuer landed next to Su Jinlun . She chopped at the rope with her hand and cut it .

Su Jinlun had been tied for too long and was weak . After the rope was cut, he started to fall down . Mu Yi rushed towards him and stretched his hands to catch him . Mu Yi felt a chill down his spine the moment he moved and tried to stop just as quickly .

A blade suddenly appeared in Su Jinlun’s hand . Mu Yi was running towards him and the blade was thrust in his direction . Mu Yi was finally able to understand Xugui’s plans better in this moment . .

Xugui had expected that neither the archer nor the assassins in black clothes nor Zheng Zicong would be able to kill Mu Yi . From the beginning, he had planned it so that Su Jinlun would kill him because Mu Yi wanted to save him .

The Su Jinlun in front of him wasn’t actually Su Jinlun . It was only a fake . Mu Yi was wondering how Xugui had done it . The person’s Qi was exactly the same as Su Jinlun’s .

In any case, Mu Yi had fallen into a trap . Qi could be deceptive sometimes . There were coincidences sometimes too . If Mu Yi noticed something was wrong beforehand, he wouldn’t have been in any danger .

If the attacker was a ghost, a body protection charm would have been enough to save him . The enemy was a human being and so the exorcism charm he used had been wasted . Mu Yi quickly realized it would be difficult to escape .

It was a crucial moment for him but Nian Nuer appeared in front of him . She exploded without warning . A terrifying Qi rolled off her in waves and crashed on the fake Su Jinlun’s body .

The fake Su Jinlun couldn’t protect himself . He was sent flying away and landed hard on the ground . He didn’t move at all after that . Nian Nuer’s energy disappeared and she became tiny again .

“Nuer!” shouted Mu Yi .

Zheng Zicong attacked at that moment because Mu Yi turned off the copper lamp . Since the copper lamp also affected Nian Nuer he had to be careful . He had to turn the lamp off when Nian Nuer was near him .

Mu Yi took out a five thunders charm as quick as he could and threw it . The charm exploded and bright white lights surrounded Zheng Zicong . Zheng Zicong was strong, but the five thunders charm was very powerful . He didn’t even have time to shout . He just collapsed after being burned to a crisp .

However, Mu Yi didn’t think that the danger had fully disappeared . Xugui had set all this up to kill him . Things weren’t over . A bell rang somewhere in the area . The wind started blowing and steadily picked up strength . Many small ghosts came out of the darkness and charged at Mu Yi .

The ghosts couldn’t be described as strong, but at a cursory glance, there were around twenty of them . Mu Yi didn’t know where Xugui had found so many ghosts but Xie Zheng had told him that everybody in the village had died in tragic circumstances . He had never found any clues though .

Maybe that Xugui had chosen this place because it was convenient for him . Maybe the one who had destroyed the village in the past had joined hands with Xugui . It made sense . Each time Xugui went somewhere, it was to cause trouble . He just wanted to capture ghosts any way he could . He was despicable .

If that was the case, the situation was even worse than Mu Yi had expected . Nian Nuer had just used a lot of her strength and felt weak . She was a ferocious ghost so she was stronger than those ordinary ghosts . She also had limits because she wasn’t a Ghost King . All she could do now was release her Qi and hope it’d work .

Clinging sounds started to continuously ring soon after, spreading through the air .
