Chapter 96: Surrender
Looking at the roaring black-robed ghost, Tan Xuan smiled.
"Who am I? I've told you eight hundred times. Are you suffering from Alzheimer's disease caused by a ghost?"
"Bastard, I want you dead!" the black-robed ghost roared.
Tan Xuan curled his lips and said disdainfully: "You have been saying this for almost a whole night. If you have the ability, you should use it quickly."
"I kill you!"
The black-robed ghost went completely berserk. He leaped up, stretched out a pair of bloodless arms and pounced directly towards Tan Xuan.
"If you kill me, you won't be afraid of your tongue being blown away by the wind."
Tan Xuan pulled Jiang Yingyue behind him, and then rushed forward to meet the black-robed ghost instead of retreating. Tan Xuan might not have experience in other things, but fighting ghosts was a common thing for him. Just now, the opponent had too many helpers, and he was a little hesitant. Now that the black-robed ghost only had a handful of subordinates left, Tan Xuan had no scruples. Especially when he saw the opponent's attacking posture, Tan Xuan tried hard not to laugh out loud.
The man and the ghost met in the blink of an eye. Tan Xuan first exposed a flaw, allowing the black-robed ghost's claws to pinch his neck. When the opponent's trick was exhausted, he shrank his body and dodged, then punched the opponent's chest.
“Crack!”
With a cracking sound, the black-robed ghost flew backwards.
After Tan Xuan succeeded in his attack, he didn't even raise his head. He snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Humph! You want to kill me with this level of skill? You can only harm ordinary people with your despicable means."
"How about it? Does my punch feel bad?"
After saying that, Tan Xuan slowly raised his head. Then he was stunned, because the black-robed ghost was standing a few steps away, and he didn't look injured. Tan Xuan was still very confident in his ability. Although the ghost's yin orifices were different, the life gate of a person was generally their weakness. And that punch, that sound, how could it be okay? Tan Xuan was very puzzled.
"What's going on?" Tan Xuan couldn't help but ask, but unfortunately no one answered him.
The black-robed ghost was also looking at Tan Xuan. Although the black veil blocked its expression, it stood there motionless, seeming a little surprised by the result of this round.
The black-robed ghost spoke first, "Are you really Mu Ye Liang Ren?"
Tan Xuan chuckled and asked, "What do you think?"
"Impossible." The black-robed ghost shouted, "Murye Liangren would not stay outside permanently, and he would not lurk in Jiangzhou for so long because of an ant like me, unless you are a peripheral personnel, but there is no such person in Jiangzhou..."
The black-robed ghost shook his head vigorously, as if the puzzle made him very frustrated, and he couldn't accept the fact that the person in front of him was Mu Ye's lover.
Tan Xuan said with a half-smile, "Why are you so excited? Are you so unwilling to listen to others? I don't know where you heard this news from. Although it makes some sense, it's just hearsay. Muye Liangren is not stationed outside, but he went to the next place after completing the mission, so he seems to be erratic. You are destined to be disappointed today. I am indeed from the Liangren Bureau, and I am not one of those peripheral personnel you said, who specializes in dealing with ghosts like you ."
The black-robed ghost was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he continued to ask without giving up: "Are you really Mu Ye Liang Ren?"
Tan Xuan nodded, and answered the black-robed ghost's doubts. "I am not one now, but I used to be one, so it is reasonable for me to be here, and the news you heard cannot be said to be wrong. After all, there are so many monsters in the world, and there are only two and a half people in the Good Man Bureau. It's just that that person is not suitable for me. I am no longer in the Good Man Bureau, and no one gives me orders. I can be wherever I want and stay as long as I want."
"So that's how it is." The black-robed ghost's tone of voice immediately lost its confidence. Thinking about the method Tan Xuan used just now, he knew that he had indeed run into trouble. A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. There is a situation where one thing can defeat another. No matter how arrogant it is, as long as it doesn't want to be killed, it dares not face Mu Ye Liang Ren. Otherwise, it would not have fled when it heard Tan Xuan introduce himself for the first time, and even abandoned its nest. The laid-off Mu Ye Liang Ren is not a good man. Thinking of its current situation, it now regrets that it listened to the words of the long-tongued subordinate. It shouldn't have taken risks to get the girl's body and soul, and chose to believe that the person in front of it was a fake. It wanted to cut the subordinate into pieces, but unfortunately the guy was not with it.
"Hehe..." The black-robed ghost suddenly laughed, then pointed at Tan Xuan and said arrogantly: "So what if you are Mu Ye Liang Ren, do you think I am afraid of you? Today I want to see if Mu Ye Liang Ren's soul is different from that of ordinary people."
As it spoke, it moved again, and leaped up again. However, this time it was different from before. Instead of heading straight for Tan Xuan, it plunged into the mist, and its speed was much faster than when it was fighting desperately with Tan Xuan just now.
"Just wait, I will fight you to the death. Although I can't beat you, I will turn everyone around you into turtle slaves one by one, making your life worse than death..." The roar of the black-robed ghost came from the fog, getting farther and farther away, followed by a burst of triumphant ghost cries.
Looking at the shadow that had merged into the mist, Tan Xuan laughed loudly, "Haha, you still want to escape, have you asked me? You have escaped twice, do you think I will still be defenseless?"
As he spoke, Tan Xuan took out a cigarette box from his pocket, picked out seven cigarettes, put them in his mouth and lit them up. Then he took a step forward, walked around in a circle on the ground, and then inserted the cigarettes in seven locations around him, some far and some near. Upon closer inspection, one would find that the arrangement was somewhat similar to the Big Dipper.
After placing the cigarette butts in place, Tan Xuan stood at the handle of the spoon, muttering something in his mouth. When he finished, he stomped his feet. The cigarette butts on the ground trembled, a flash of fire appeared at the cigarette butts, a puff of white smoke rose into the sky, and then quickly merged into the thick fog, and the surrounding thick fog also became brighter.
Tan Xuan lit another cigarette, took a deep breath, and blew on the cigarette butt. The cigarette butt flickered with some flames jumping on it. Tan Xuan nodded slightly, pinched the cigarette between his index finger and middle finger, and finally curled his fingers to twist the cigarette, and then shouted "Lock!"
"Ah!" A scream suddenly came from far away in the thick fog. Tan Xuan and Jiang Yingyue were already very familiar with the scream. They knew it came from the black-robed ghost as soon as they heard it.
After hearing the sound, Tan Xuan smiled coldly and threw the cigarette butt casually to the mouth of the spoon. Then he clasped his hands, pointed in the direction of the spoon mouth, and made a handprint that looked weird in the eyes of experts, but particularly cool in the eyes of Jiang Yingyue.
"ban!"
"ah……"
As soon as Tan Xuan finished speaking, a black shadow fell from the sky accompanied by a series of screams. Tan Xuan pulled Jiang Yingyue back a few steps. The black shadow landed directly on the place where Tan Xuan had just thrown the cigarette butt, and the other cigarette butts around were also knocked to the ground at the same time.
"This...what's going on?" The black-robed ghost who got up from the ground was a little confused. He thought he had escaped, but he came back in an instant. This was really hard for him to accept. When he saw the laid-off Mu Ye Liangren staring at him with a smile, he couldn't help but shudder, then stood up and turned around and ran away. Now even a fool would know that this guy was the one who did it, not to mention that he never thought he was stupid.
"Ah!" The black-robed ghost had just run a few steps when he seemed to hit a wall and was bounced back to the mouth of the spoon. He felt a burning pain all over his body.
“Ah…ah…”
The black-robed ghost let out a shrill scream and kept rolling on the spot. The sound was sharp, completely different from the gloomy and fierce sound just now, and it was creepy to hear.
"Haha, do you still want to run?" Tan Xuan walked up to the black-robed ghost with a sneer, and said with a smug look on his face: "Once you enter my Seven-Star Soul Locking Formation, don't waste your energy thinking about escaping. Let me tell you, my formation draws on the light of heaven and earth. As long as the sun doesn't come out and the stars don't set, you can't leave this place within ten steps. Although I use a simplified version, it is still enough to deal with a little ghost like you."
The black-robed ghost struggled for a while before he calmed down. He lay on the ground and heaved for a long time before slowly raising his head. He questioned Tan Xuan angrily, "Do you really have to kill me? Why to pick on me?"
Hearing the strange voice of the black-robed ghost, which was completely different from before, Tan Xuan was stunned at first, but after hearing its questioning, Tan Xuan sneered loudly again.
"I'm against you? Are you stupid? Who is against whom? You just threatened me that you would kill everyone around me and make them ghost slaves, but now you think I'm going to do something to you. Isn't it right for me to treat you like this? Besides, aren't you going to fight to the death tonight? If I don't kill you, will you keep me looking for opportunities to take revenge?"
The black-robed ghost hesitated for a moment, then knelt on the ground, his attitude changed 180 degrees, and begged bitterly: "I was wrong, I was blinded by greed and wanted to go against the master. I was wrong, I know I was wrong, I hope the master can show mercy and let me go this time, I will definitely turn over a new leaf and become a new ghost in the future, I will never cause trouble to the master in the future, and I will never have improper thoughts about the people around the master again."
Faced with the black-robed ghost who suddenly surrendered, Tan Xuan laughed even louder. He walked up to the black-robed ghost and kicked him, causing the black-robed ghost to fall to the ground.
"You've been telling a lot of lies. I've heard a lot of them, but this is the first time you've changed your tone. Do you think I can believe you?"
"I didn't lie to you. I really didn't lie to you. I swear on my own ghost that I am willing to serve you as my master and be your ghost slave. If you need me in the future, I will do my best..."
Tan Xuan didn't want to listen to the black-robed ghost's nonsense. He grabbed the black-robed ghost's robe and pulled it up from the ground. He asked angrily, "I spared you, but did you spare those people who died tragically at your hands? Do I need your help, or do I use you to help harm others? You still don't dare to show your true face to others. I want to see what kind of person you are."
As he spoke, Tan Xuan grabbed the black-robed ghost's robe and pulled it hard, directly pulling off the black robe that covered him from head to toe.
"ah……"
The black-robed ghost let out a scream and immediately covered his face with his hands.
"ah!"
After the black robe was pulled off, Tan Xuan also screamed and stood there in a daze.
