Chapter Fifty-Six: To Kill Or Not

  Chen Xin's dagger swept across my cheek, and I felt the sensation of skin splitting open. I pushed Chen Xin away and subconsciously ran towards Ying Zheng's side.

  Compared to me, Zhao Feiyu's departure was much more relaxed. With a flick of his sleeve, the crow touched the iron chain in the dustpan, and the yin energy was greatly impacted. He let out a sharp cry! Subconsciously, he pushed away Zhao Feiyu.

  Zhao Feiyu escaped unscathed like that. As for me, the right half of my cheek was already ruined.

  Old Guo naturally knew what it meant to applaud in the air, but among the three of us, only Old Guo didn't make any move. This was quite surprising for us.

  Chen Xin took a look at the current situation and could say that our side had already gained the upper hand. However, Yin Zhouyang still held onto Old Man Guo, perhaps in their eyes, this was the only leverage they had left.

  "Ah!!! Quick, take a look! Is my face ruined?!!!" I screamed as I ran towards Kong Yat, covering the wound on my face. "What if I'm disfigured?! I haven't even got a girlfriend yet! Help me check it out!!"

  Ying Zheng gave me a glance and muttered to himself: "If I'm disfigured, then so be it. What's the big deal?"

  Kong Yat simply helped me clean the wound and took out hemostatic medicine from his bag to apply it on me. The pain was scorching hot, I sucked in my breath, looked at Chen Xin, and really wanted to kill her.

  "What else can you negotiate with me now?" Ying Zheng put his hand in the bag, half-smiling at Chen Xin.

  Chen Xin's face was very unsightly, but he still tightly grasped Old Man Guo's hand and said word by word: As long as there is Gu Jianhua, we still have the significance of negotiation.

  Zhao Feiyu looked at Old Man Guo and was about to say something, but seeing the serious expression on Old Man Guo's face, Zhao Feiyu shut his mouth instead.

  Ying Zheng leaned back in his chair, watching Chen Xin as if he were watching a play. Kong Yi was focused on applying medicine to me, while Zhao Feiyu had an air of indifference about him.

  "You guys?" Crow Yang didn't understand why our reaction was so abnormal, as if we had all forgotten who Old Man Guo was.

  Ying Zheng put on an expression of "nothing's wrong, go ahead and kill him", although I'm a bit disgusted by it, but now, putting on a show is a must.

  Kong Yizi said that I still need to be stitched, otherwise I would get tetanus. I was so scared that I took a step back and said seriously: Let me die! I don't want to be stitched! Qin Shi Huang save my life!

  Ying Zheng turned his head and glanced at me, chuckled and then turned back to continue staring down Chen Xin. Old Guo's expression remained unchanged throughout the whole process, I had no idea what he was thinking, but I knew this was his doing.

  I know what Old Guo is thinking. Someone who has died once can't die a second time. Old Guo knows this, so he wants to use his own strength to solve all the troubles.

  "I shouldn't have found your hideout, and none of this would have happened." Guo Lao finally spoke up after a long time.

  Upon hearing Old Man Guo's words, Chen Xin suddenly burst out laughing. The laughter was filled with sarcasm, as if she had just heard a joke. Chen Xin patted Old Man Guo on the shoulder and laughed, saying: "You've gone, but I haven't even had time to thank you yet! You've let me see so many things I'd never seen before, and you've brought me into a world I'd never entered before. I'm so grateful to you. Master Guo, you've done a great job this time. Look, the tenth tail is about to appear soon. With that thing, I can get what I want."

  Chen Xin was talking wildly to Lao Guo somewhere, I gently touched Ying Zheng and asked: What's the plan?

  He replied succinctly: Kill them.

  I pointed at Void One with a look of disdain and said, "Don't think about killing anyone in front of this guy again. You're already pushing your luck by being able to take down a few dark spirits."

  Qin Zheng turned his head and looked at Kong Yiyi, frowning and saying: Are all bald donkeys so troublesome? How did you spend the past 25 years?

  "It's just a habit. Can you communicate with him now? Isn't it better to let him come out by himself? Besides, I can tell that Old Guo doesn't want to leave here today. The woman's power isn't particularly strong, no problem."

  Qin Zheng turned his head to look at me, patted my shoulder and said: Don't underestimate the power of that woman. As for the other one, I'll try to see if I can communicate with him.

  I shifted my gaze back to Old Man Guo, only to see him glance down at the dagger at his neck and shake his head in frustration. I noticed that he was holding a talisman paper, but it had been folded into a triangle shape. Just as I was about to take a closer look, Old Man Guo suddenly pressed the talisman paper firmly against Chen Xin's forehead!

  For a moment, Chen Xin seemed to have received a huge stimulus, and I clearly saw her skin begin to rot. What was that!

  Crow's vision was unfavorable, just wanting to take action, but everything was stopped by a golden light.

  At this moment, Yin Zhouyang was lying on the ground, just like a puppet without a support. I turned my head to see that Ying Zheng had taken out a jade seal at some point. And what subdued Ya Yang was the light emitted by the jade seal.

  "Hurry up and go help your master!" I turned around and said to Zhao Feiyu.

  Zhao Feiyu gave me a glance and quickly ran up to help Old Man Guo. But just as Zhao Feiyu took a few steps, Old Man Guo suddenly shouted: This is my karma! Don't get involved!

  Zhao Feiyu suddenly stopped in his tracks, and when he saw Yin Zhongyang lying on the ground, not knowing anything, he still chose to go forward and help Yin Zhongyang up.

  Old Guo's free hand had already formed a hand seal, and although I wasn't very familiar with Taoist techniques, I recognized the seal at a glance! I knew that next, Kong Yiren would definitely go out to stop him.

  "Po Hun Jue." Zhao Feiyu was the one who softly spoke out that name.

  "Uncle Guo! Spare her!" As expected, Kong Yat had already shown great mercy.

  Poisonous Soul Seal, the simplest and most brutal hand seal of Taoist. This hand seal doesn't harm people's bodies, but their souls. As for Chen Xin, her soul is extremely fragile. With Guo Lao's single move, she really can't survive.

  I saw Old Guo's hands trembling, he couldn't bring himself to do it. I don't know how happy a time Old Guo had spent with them in the village before. But I knew that if Old Guo didn't take action today, there would be more trouble later on.

  Ya Yang was still resisting, Ying Zheng just let out a cold hum, increased some strength, and I saw Ya Yang's soul fly away. I saw some anger in Kong Yi's eyes, and I patted Kong Yi's shoulder, signaling him to calm down.

  "Do you want me to take action?" After Qin Zheng solved Ya Yang, he let out a cold hum and prepared to move forward.

  I grabbed Qin Zheng and shook my head, saying: You Taoists don't emphasize cause and effect? This isn't your cause and effect, so just don't get involved. We'll just watch from the side.

  Qin Zheng withdrew his hand upon hearing my words.

  Old Guo is still hesitating, I really don't know when he became so hesitant. The old Guo from before wasn't the type to say go and then not go, but today he's like this...

  Guo Lao's symbol on Chen Xin's forehead gradually lost its power, and Chen Xin's skin was recovering at a visible speed. I watched anxiously as Zhao Feiyu tried to grab the duster several times, but I stopped him each time.

  "Master, are you really going to kill me?"

  When Chen Xin slowly said this sentence, I saw that Guo Lao's Bao Hun Jue hand gesture had completely relaxed. I shook my head, knowing that Guo Lao couldn't bring himself to do it.

  Guo Lao Tou attaches great importance to relationships, so he can't bring himself to do it. At this moment, Kong Yi lets out a sigh of relief. I'm too lazy to care about the wound on my face, and I look at Kong Yi, saying seriously: "I don't care if you're going to stop me today or not, but that woman, if she doesn't die today, none of us will have a good life from now on." Kong Yi, sorry.

  After I finished speaking, I grasped the hilt of my sword tightly and walked forward.

  Mr. Guo saw me walking forward and almost at the fastest speed, he put it on Chenxin and shouted loudly: Go! The farther you go, the better!

  Chen Xin saw me and poured a handful of powder on me without hesitation. I subconsciously covered my nose, and at this moment, Chen Xin quickly released two snakes to escape.

  The powder seemed to have some attraction to the snake, and the two snakes walked towards me. I turned my head around and found that Zhao Feiyu and Kong Yī didn't make any move at all. I was so angry that I chopped the two snakes in front of me into two segments!

  "Why didn't you make a move!" I questioned Zhao Feiyu.

  Zhao Feiyu looked at me and then at Old Man Guo, saying calmly: "Master doesn't want her to die."

  As for Kong Yat, I don't need to ask him for any reason.

  Ying Zheng patted me on the shoulder and said to me: She won't leave. I know that child, she must be making preparations outside, waiting for us to come out.

  "Why are you so sure?" I asked Ying Zheng back.

  "What she wants is still inside." Ying Zheng pointed towards the prison cell, and I figured it out.

  The tenth tail of the arrogant one is still here.

  Old Guo sat on the ground in a dejected manner, his face filled with helplessness. He rubbed his face randomly and stood up to say to me: I won't let her do anything that will harm heaven and earth...

  "You don't need to lift a finger, I'll take care of it. Even you, Ying Zheng, can't fully grasp the extent of her power. There's definitely something waiting for us outside the dungeon. You just need to clear the way for me. My hands are already stained with blood, and I won't mind adding a bit more."

  Old Guo was puzzled by my words and asked me: Why must you kill her?

  I looked at Old Man Guo, my tone even more serious as I said: "If it's about letting her get the tenth tail of the Qiong Qi, then what would happen? She knows about the Seven Apertures Linglong Heart, she must also know the secrets inside. You've never told me before, if she..."

  "Murong, that's just one of the reasons." Ying Zheng suddenly interrupted me and said. "Another reason you want to kill her is because she wants to replace my position."

  "What does this have to do with me?" I turned around and asked Ying Zheng.

  "I don't mean to offend Ghost Building at least for now, when a person's power gradually expands, so will her ambition. If she replaces me, Ghost Building, you will be the first target she strikes."

  "You're here, she can't stir up any waves." I said disbelievingly.

  "It took a great deal of strength to rescue Tian Ya, and at that time, she could stir up huge waves. What bound Tian Ya was the Locking Beast Chain. How troublesome it is to open it, you know."
