Chapter 290: Letting ghosts kill people without regrets
After listening to it only once, Li Daoxuan memorized the formula of "Five Thunders Nourishing Essence Gong" in his heart.
This martial art is indeed powerful, but it also has a major flaw, which is that it is still in the stage of perfection. It is said that if it is cultivated to the ninth level, it can be comparable to the God of Thunder and the Goddess of Lightning, the Earl of Wind and the Water Master, but in fact, even Zhang Jiuxiao himself does not know the method of the ninth level.
In other words, this is a martial art that has not yet been created, and can only be cultivated to the eighth level at most, which is a bit like Zhang Wuji's "The Great Shift of the Universe".
Zhang Jiuxiao's true body is at the eighth level, but it has greatly increased his combat power and awakened the magical power of thunder escape. The strength of his physical body is comparable to that of a big demon in the Yang God realm. He can control thunder with ease, like reading lines on the palm of his hand.
Li Daoxuan was very interested in this martial art.
Just as he memorized the technique, a low roar sounded, filled with anger and hatred.
The ghost baby was surrounded by negative energy and pounced towards Zhang Tiande with bloodshot eyes, determined to kill this enemy at all costs.
Ten months of pregnancy, all lost in one day.
As for Zhang Tiande, the murderer who killed his mother, the ghost baby wanted to skin him alive and eat him alive.
Li Daoxuan frowned slightly, took out the soul-capturing bell and shook it gently.
jingle!
The ghost baby stood there, tears of blood in its eyes, looking at Li Daoxuan with pleading eyes.
He wanted revenge so much. If it weren't for Zhang Tiande, he could have come into this world, enjoyed the love of his parents, and grew up happily, but now he has become this horrible appearance.
In the past, Zhang Tiande often whipped and humiliated him, insulted his mother, and called him a sinner and a beast.
Sometimes when he was having fun, he would use the Soul-Catching Bell to force him to crawl on all fours, put a collar on him, and make him like a dog...
Looking at the blood and tears flowing from the ghost baby, Li Daoxuan sighed softly.
He didn't want to kill Zhang Tiande immediately because Zhang Jiuxiao was too strong. Keeping Zhang Tiande might be effective when dealing with Zhang Jiuxiao.
He did not think this was despicable. To deal with bad people, one must learn to be worse than them.
Just looking at the blood and tears flowing from the ghost baby and feeling his rising resentment, Li Daoxuan remained silent for a long time. After a moment, he made way and sighed, "Go and take revenge."
A real man knows what he should do and what he shouldn’t do.
Although Li Daoxuan felt that keeping Zhang Tiande would be more useful, if the situation was reversed, if he was a ghost baby, facing such a blood feud, he probably would not be able to wait for a moment.
The ghost baby has waited for too long and endured too much pain. Li Daoxuan has not experienced those tortures, so what qualifications does he have to make it continue to wait?
If he uses the Soul-Catching Bell to force the ghost baby to give up revenge, then what is the difference between him and Zhang Tiande and others?
As soon as he thought of this, his thoughts became clear and he felt suddenly enlightened and relaxed.
Although Zhang Jiuxiao is powerful, he is confident that he can deal with it. If it doesn't work, he can go to the Empress. It's just that it's not very nice to look at it, giving people the feeling that he relies on the Empress for everything.
But it’s nothing. Being able to find such a powerful backer is also a skill.
…
After getting Li Daoxuan's permission, the ghost baby's expression was shocked and he rushed forward frantically.
Li Daoxuan broke the illusion that Zhang Tiande was trapped in.
As soon as Zhang Tiande woke up, he saw the ghost baby rushing towards him, showing its sharp fangs and biting his neck.
Under the moonlight, Zhang Tiande's screams were heard at the top of his lungs.
He started out cursing and threatening, then he begged for mercy, and finally in despair, he cursed again, but soon he could no longer curse because the ghost baby pulled out his tongue.
A moment later, a body that had almost rotted into pieces of meat appeared in the wilderness, and the ground was covered with blood.
Zhang Tiande died completely, even his soul was torn into pieces by the ghost baby, which ate it up bite by bite. He was completely destroyed and had no chance of reincarnation.
Li Daoxuan watched coldly.
If other Taoists saw him watching ghosts killing people, they would probably think that he had been possessed by a demon. But in fact, Li Daoxuan was open and honest and had no regrets.
One thought makes you a Buddha, one thought makes you a devil.
People like Zhang Tiande are really worse than demons.
The ghost baby's revenge was achieved. His small body stood there blankly, staring at the bright moon in the sky. It was unknown what he was thinking, and the resentment in his body seemed to have faded a lot.
Li Daoxuan walked over and touched his head. The hair on it was very soft, like a baby's hair.
"Your mother's spirit in heaven can finally rest in peace."
The ghost baby looked up at him with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.
If it weren't for Li Daoxuan, he would still be controlled and tortured by Zhang Jiuxiao and his son. Not to mention revenge, he would even have to allow his enemies to humiliate and abuse him.
"Do me a favor, will you?"
As Li Daoxuan spoke, he took out the soul-catching bell.
The ghost baby looked at the soul-catching bell and his body trembled slightly. He had a deep-rooted fear of this magic weapon.
At the same time, he felt a little aggrieved. If his benefactor asked him for help, he would definitely help. Why did he still use this thing to control him?
However, what he didn't expect was that Li Daoxuan handed him the Soul-Capture Bell.
"I don't have the habit of turning others into puppets. From now on, this Soul-Catching Bell is yours. It's up to you to decide whether to keep it or destroy it."
"I helped you get revenge. In return, you also help me do something. After this is over, you can choose to stay with me, or you can leave or reincarnate. I have some connections in the Qingming Realm that can make your next life easier."
Li Daoxuan discussed with the ghost baby in a frank and sincere manner.
He has always been clear about gratitude and resentment, and will do whatever he can to his enemies, but he is open and honest to his friends and never uses despicable means.
If the ghost baby had not risked its life to stop them, Zhang Jiuxiao would have already escaped with Zhang Tiande. All in all, the ghost baby has helped him a lot, and he is willing to make friends with it.
The ghost baby looked at the bell in his hand, and his black pupils rippled slightly.
A feeling he had never experienced before surged into his heart, the feeling of being trusted and respected, something he had never experienced as a ghost.
He had lived in hatred since he was born. The people of Shanghe Village were afraid and disgusted with him. Except for his biological father, everyone else looked at him as if he were a monster.
Even the biological father had a complicated look in his eyes.
Li Daoxuan was the first person who did not discriminate against him and treated him equally. He clearly had the Soul-Catching Bell in his hands, but he returned it to him.
What a... strange Taoist priest.
For some reason, the resentment in the ghost baby dissipated a little. He no longer looked so scary. His fangs were retracted, the umbilical cord on his belly disappeared, and his dark blue skin color seemed to have faded a little.
He nodded at Li Daoxuan.
Li Daoxuan extended his hand to him and said with a smile: "Let's go. Humans and ghosts have different paths. Let's go and take one last look at your father."
The ghost baby hesitated for a moment, then slowly put its little hand into Li Daoxuan's big hand. The man and the ghost gradually disappeared into the night.
